resulting from the forward contracts and currency option contracts. Thus, the
market risk of foreign currency exchange rate changes does not have material
impact on the Company.
(B) The open-end funds and stocks of listed companies held by the Company are
classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and

B. Credit risk
(A) Credit risk means the potential loss of the Company if the counterparty
involved in that transaction defaults. Since the Company’s derivative financial
instrument agreements are entered into with international financial institutions
with good credit ratings, management believes that there is no significant
credit risk from these transactions.
(B) The primary potential credit risk is from financial instruments like cash, bank
deposits, equity securities under non-equity method, and accounts receivable.
The Company deposits cash in different financial institutions. Equity securities
under non-equity method were funds and listed stocks issued by companies

to each financial institution and believes that there is no significant

Company have good credit and profit records. The Company evaluates the
financial condition of these customers in order to reduce credit risk of
accounts receivable.

bank deposits. The Company maintains funding sufficient to fulfill all
contract obligations, and thereby expects no significant liquidity risk would
