ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
B. The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair values:
(a) The book value of short-term financial instruments is assessed to be the fair value due to
the short-term maturity periods of these instruments. Such method is applied to cash and
cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable (payable), other current financial assets,
accrued expenses and other payables.
(b) Financial assets (or liabilities) measured at fair value through profit or loss and available-
for-sale financial assets: If public quote of financial assets and liabilities is available, then
the quoted price is adopted as the fair value. If market value is not available, an
assessment method that refers to quoted prices is used. The assumptions used are the
same as those used by financial market traders when quoting their prices.
(c) Financial assets carried at cost: Those are investments in companies whose shares are not
publicly listed and have no available market prices.
(d) The fair value of convertible bonds payable is not available, and a valuation technique is
used. The assumptions used in the said valuation are the same as those used by financial
market traders when quoting their prices. However, the fair value is not expected to equal
future cash outflow.
C. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities evaluated by the Company using public
quotes or an assessment method was as follows:
