(Concluded)
Except for the following, whenever applied, the initial application of the above 2013 IFRSs version and the related amendments to
the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers would not have any material impact on the
Company’s accounting policies:
1. IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more
extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-
level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and
liabilities within its scope.
The fair value measurements under IFRS 13 will be applied prospectively from January 1, 2015.
2. Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income”
The amendment to IAS 1 requires items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those items that (1) will not be
reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. Income taxes on related
items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Under current IAS 1, there were no such requirements.
The Company will apply the above amendments in presenting the statement of comprehensive income, starting from the year
2015. Items not expected to be reclassified to profit or loss are remeasurements of the defined benefit plans and actuarial gain
(loss) arising from defined benefit plans. Items expected to be reclassified to profit or loss are the exchange differences on
translating foreign operations, unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets and cash flow hedges. However, the
application of the above amendments will not result in any impact on the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for
the year (net of income tax), and total comprehensive income for the year.
