I. Letter to Shareholders
First of all, I would like to thank you for your continuing support to ASUS. The global economy for the
first half of last year continued to be unstable. Following the large scale proposals for saving the
developed economy of Europe and U.S. etc., and the success of various currencies and treasury policies,
the international economy slowly recovered from the financial crisis, and the global industrial production
and trade rose again. From the second quarter of 2009, the global economic recession slowed down and
the information industry gradually showed hope. Although the operating profit of ASUSTeK and
shipment quantity increased significantly for the second half of last year compared to the first half of last
year, the 2009 Brand consolidated revenue reached NTD 248.2 billion which is 7% less than 2008 due to
the impact of the first half of last year. The 2009 standalone revenue of the parent company of ASUSTeK
is NTD 232.6 billion; net profit before tax and net profit after tax were NTD 12,821 million and NTD
12,479 million respectively. The net profit after tax decreased by 24.2% from 2008.

In 2009, the quality of the products of ASUSTeK were recognized by the professional service provider
SquareTrade which conducted a survey of 30,000 laptops based on users' review of the reliability of
notebook products, and ASUSTeK notebook is ranked No. 1 for reliability out of the global brands; and
ASUSTek reliability of products with three years usage is 40% ahead of other first tier suppliers. In
addition, the professional service provider, Rescuecom, ranked ASUSTeK as No. 1 for reliability. The
website indicated that the reason that ASUS could surpass major brands with a high score is that
ASUSTek is able to increase dramatically the shipment and the market share in U.S. while remain low
maintenance ratio. At the same time, the well-known PC Magazine also appreciated ASUSTeK as No. 1
in quality.

As for environmental friendliness, ASUSTeK continued to take lead in obtaining the EU Flower after
2008, and was even the first notebook supplier of the world to be awarded the Environmental Product
Declaration last year. It was also the first notebook supplier worldwide to acquire the recognition of
Product Carbon Footprint. Furthermore, many of its products were awarded environmental friendly marks,
including EeePC, EeeBox PC, LCD Monitor, etc.

In 2009, ASUSTeK was awarded a total of 3,268 domestically and internationally well-known awards,
average 9 international awards every day. These honors were attributed to the result of the hardworking of
ASUSTeK employees and are also the strongest evidence of ASUSTeK's outstanding product quality. Last
year, ASUSTeK was awarded the Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility by CommonWealth
magazine due to ASUSTeK's performance in exercising its corporate social responsibility. Moreover,
ASUS continued to remain in the top 3 international brands in Taiwan for seven years in the Top Ten
Taiwan International Brands Value Review conducted by Interbrand, the internationally well-known
research unit appointed by the Bureau of Trade of Ministry of Economic Affairs. In January 2010,
ASUSTeK was also the biggest winner in the 18th Annual Taiwan Excellence Award where a total of 36
products received the Excellence Award due to its excellent technical development, in-depth humanity
consideration, and continuous innovation.

In January 2010, ASUSTeK once again attracted international attention at the CES in U.S. ASUSTeK
displayed the fashionable notebooks ASUS NX90 and Eee PC designed with the worldwide known
designers David Lewis and KarimRashid. ASUSTeK invited the chief designer of B&O, David Lewis, to
design ASUS NX90 with polished aluminum finish and misty black keyboard, and equipped with B&O's
dual-channel high audio amplifier using ICEpower sound technique, together with the exclusive Sonic
Master sound adjustment technique to ensure the perfect reproduction of the original sound. Furthermore,
Karmin Rashid whom is known as the head of the top ten designers in New York turned EeePC into a
fashionable look using "waves" as inspiration. ASUSTeK also showed many new innovative products,

1
including the gaming notebook ASUS ROG G73Jh which adopts the latest Intel Core i7 processor, ATI
Radeon HD5870 display card, 8GB DDR3 memory and supports Direx 11, equipped with eight-channel
stereo and EAX 4.0 surround sound effect. ASUSTeK also designed ASUS Bamboo U33Jt, a notebook
using environmental friendly as inspiration, which combines environmental friendly bamboo materials
and crystal pattern techniques. Each notebook has its own unique natural patterns, showing the distinctive
taste and care for the environment of the user.

Based on past experiences, we discovered that "hit rate" is most important after a new product is
introduced. ASUSTeK's tactic for this year is clear, that is, concentrating on popular consumer computer
market to seize the market share. The four new notebooks announced at CES are products used for battle
and will be fully introduced before the second quarter of this year at the latest.

The global economy is anticipated to continue to recover in the following year, and we will continue
to strive to implement the value of thoroughness, innovative and detail thoughts on each employee. We
believe that with the efforts of all ASUSTeK employees, we are able to expand our market share with our
excellent products. Based on the global economic outlook, industry conditions and forecast institutions,
the goal is to sell 12 million units of NB (included Eee PC). We would like to thank you for your support.
ASUS will sure work hard to achieve the sales target for the benefit of shareholders.

Wish you a good health and good life!

Sincerely yours,

---------------------
Chairman

The root causes of the financial ratio change in the last two years:
Ratio of liabilities to assets: Accounts payable for the inventory purchased was increased due to the economic
recovery in 2009Q4.
Ratio of long-term capital to fixed assets: Shareholders’ equity was up and change in fixed assets was insignificant
due to the increase of net income; therefore, Ratio of long-term capital to fixed assets was increased.
Current ratio: Accounts receivable from the sales of goods was increased due to the economic recovery in 2009Q4
and sales growth.
Quick ratio: Accounts receivable from the sales of goods was increased due to the economic recovery in 2009Q4 and
sales growth.
Times interest earned ratio: The amortization of CB in the year was decreased (ASUS CB and ECB were without
interest paid; however, CB discount expense was credited to interest expense in accordance with the new notice even
there was no cash actually paid); therefore, Times interest earned ratio was increased.
Account receivable turnover (times): ASUSTeK had OEM business spited to the subsidiary in the last year;
therefore, the beginning accounts receivable included OEM business and Account receivable turnover (times) of prior
period was low.
Inventory turnover (times): The management of ASUSTeK striven to control inventory level and with lower
inventory amount on the book; therefore, Inventory turnover (times) was low.
Account payable turnover (times): ASUSTeK had OEM business spited to the subsidiary in the last year; therefore,
the beginning accounts payable included OEM business and Account payable turnover (times) of prior period was low.
Total assets turnover (times): The sales revenue of 2009Q1~Q3 was decreased due to recession; therefore, Total
assets turnover (times) was decreased.
Ratio of return on total assets: The net income of was decreased due to recession in 2009Q1~Q3.
Ratio of return on shareholders’ equity: The net income of was decreased due to recession in 2009Q1~Q3.
Ratio of operating income to issued capital stock: The sales revenue was decreased and operating income was
decreased too due to recession in 2009Q1~Q3.
Profit ratio: Profit ratio was reduced due to the severe market competition, selling price adjusted down per the
company’s policy, and gross profit rate was decreased.
Cash flow ratio: Cash flow ratio was up from the year before due to the effort of the management in controlling
inventory level, reducing total amount of inventory, and causing net cash inflow from operating activity to go up.
Cash flow adequacy ratio: Cash flow adequacy ratio was up from the year before due to the effort of the management
in controlling inventory level, reducing total amount of inventory, and causing net cash inflow from operating activity
to go up.
Cash reinvestment ratio: Cash reinvestment ratio was up from the year before due to the effort of the management in
controlling inventory level, reducing total amount of inventory, and causing net cash inflow from operating activity to
go up.

Note 1: ASUS has adopted the principles under Accounting Research and Development Foundation in
Taiwan (97) Kee.mi.tzi No. 331 Letter and (98) Kee.mi.tzi No. 046 Letter to have the convertible
bond adjusted retroactively. Therefore, the 2006 and 007 financial information were adjusted
retroactively.
Note 2: The financial information is reviewed by CPA.
Note 3: Accounts receivable includes the amount of long-term accounts receivable- related party that is in
compliance with trade terms and conditions.
Note 4: ASUS had acquired Askey by stock exchange under Equity Method; therefore, the 2005 financial
statements were adjusted.
Note 5: The Q1 2010 financial statements have not yet been audited by CPA up to the date of the report
printed on March 22, 2010.
Note 6: Equations:
1. Financial structure
(1) Ratio of liabilities to assets = Total liability/Total assets
(2) Ratio of long-Term capital to fixed assets = (Net shareholders’ equity + Long-term liability)
/ Net fixed assets
2. Solvency

84
(1) Current ratio = Current assets / current liability
(2) Quick ratio = (Current assets – Inventory – Prepaid expense) / Current liability
(3) Times interest earned ratio = Net income before tax and interest expense / Interest expense
of the year
3. Operating ability
(1) Account receivable turnover (including accounts receivable and notes receivable derived
from business operation) = Net sales / Average accounts receivable (including accounts
receivable and notes receivable derived from business operation)
(2) Days sales in accounts receivable = 365 / Account receivable turnover
(3) Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory amount
(4) Account payable turnover (including accounts payable and notes payable derived from
business operation) = Cost of goods sold/ Average accounts payable (including accounts
payable and notes payable derived from business operation)
(5) Average days in sales = 365 / Inventory turnover
(6) Fixed assts turnover = Net sales / Net fixed assets
(7) Total assets turnover = Net sales / Total assets
4. Profitability
(1) Return on assets = [Net income (loss) + interest expense x (1-tax rate)] / Average total assets
(2) Return on shareholder’s equity = Net income (loss) / Net average shareholders’ equity
(3) Ratio to issued capital stock = Net income before tax / Issued capital stock
(4) Profit ratio = Net income (loss) / Net sales
(5) Earnings per share = (Net income – preferred stock dividend) / Weighted average stock
shares issued
5. Cash flow
(1) Cash flow ratio = Net cash flow from operating activity / Current liability
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = Net cash flow from operating activity in the past five years /
(Capital expenditure + Inventory increase + Cash dividend) in the past five years
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (Net cash flow from operating activity – Cash dividend) / (Fixed
assets + Long-term investment + Other assets + Working capital)
6. Balance:
(1) Degree of operating leverage = (Net operating income – Variable operating cost and expense)
/ Operating income
(2) Degree of financial leverage = Operating income / (Operating income – interest expense)
Note 7: The following factors are to be included for consideration for the calculation of earnings per
share:
1. It is based on the weighted average common stock shares instead of the outstanding stock shares
at yearend.
2. For capitalization with cash or Treasury stock trade, the stock circulation must be included for
consideration to calculate weighted average stock shares.
3. For capitalization with retained earnings and additional paid-in capital, the earnings per share
calculated semi-annually and annually must be adjusted retroactively and proportionally to the
capitalization but without considering the issuance period of the capitalization.
4. If preferred stock shares are nonconvertible and cumulative, the dividend of the year (whether it
is distributed or not) should be deducted from net income or added to the net loss. If preferred
stock shares are not cumulative, preferred stock dividend should be deducted from net income if
there is any but it needs not be added to net loss if there is any.
Note 8: The following factors are to be included for consideration for the analysis of cash flow:
1. Net cash flow from operating activity meant for the net cash inflow from operating activity on
the Statement of Cash Flow.
2. Capital expenditure meant for the cash outflow of capita investment annually.

85
85
3. Increase of inventory is counted only when ending inventory exceeds beginning inventory. If the
ending inventory is decreased, it is booked as zero value.
4. Cash dividend includes the amount for common stock and preferred stock.
5. Gross fixed assets meant for the total fixed assets before deducting the cumulative depreciation.
Note 9: Issuers are to have operating cost and operating expenses classified into the category of fixed and
variable. If the classification of operating cost and operating expense involves estimation or
discretional judgment, it must be made reasonably and consistently.
Note 10: Some accounts and amounts in the financial statements of 2008 were adjusted in response to the
presentation of 2009 financial statements. The said reclassification did not have a material
impact on the financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008


(expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars unless otherwise specified)

1. Organization

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (the Company) was established on April 2, 1990. The Company’s
common shares were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE). Its main activities are to produce,
design and sell notebook PCs, main boards, CD-ROMs and add-on cards.

The Company resolved to spin-off its OEM businesses on January 1, 2008. Pursuant to the Company’s
resolution, the Company transferred its computer and non-computer OEM businesses to its spun-off
subsidiaries PEGATRON CORPORATION (PEGATRON) and UNIHAN CORPORATION
(UNIHAN), respectively.

The Company’s headcounts aggregated 3,455 and 3,933 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of
Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the Business Accounting Law, the Criteria Governing
Handling of Commercial Accounting, and accounting principles and practices generally accepted in
the Republic of China. The significant accounting policies and measurement basis adopted in
preparing the accompanying financial statements are as follows:

(1) Use of estimates

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

(2) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Cash or cash equivalents, and assets that are held primarily for the purpose of being traded or are
expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date are classified as current assets;
all other assets are classified as non-current.

Liabilities that are held primarily for the purpose of being traded or are expected to be settled
within 12 months after the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities; all other liabilities
are classified as non-current.

Notes to Financial Statements

(3) Foreign currency transactions and translation of financial statements in foreign currencies

Transactions involving non-derivative financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies are


recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occurred.
Translation gains or losses arising from the settlement of assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are included in profit or loss in the year of actual settlement.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured on the balance
sheet date using the exchange rates in effect as on that date, with related exchange gains and losses
included in the statements of income.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair
value through stockholders’ equity are remeasured at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance
sheet date, with related exchange gains or losses recorded as cumulative translation adjustment in
stockholders’ equity. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are
measured at fair value through profit or loss are remeasured at the exchange rate prevailing on the
balance sheet date, with related exchange gains or losses recorded in the statements of income.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at cost are
remeasured at the historical exchange rate.

Long-term investments in foreign investees, which are accounted for under the equity method, are
stated on the basis of stockholders’ equity in the foreign-currency financial statements of investees.
Translating gains or losses from long-term investments are recognized as cumulative transition
adjustment in stockholders’ equity.

(4) Impairment of assets

The Company assesses all applicable assets subject to R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (‘SFAS’) No. 35 for indication of impairment on the balance sheet date. If any
indication of impairment exists, the Company then compares the carrying amount with the
recoverable amount of the assets or the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) and writes down the
carrying amount to the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of an asset other than
goodwill has increased as a result of the increase in its estimated service potential, the Company
reverses the impairment loss to the extent that the carrying amount after the reversal would not
exceed the amount (net of amortization or depreciation) that would otherwise result had no
impairment loss been recognized in prior periods.

The Company assesses the goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not
yet available for use periodically and on an annual basis and recognizes an impairment loss on the
carrying value in excess of the recoverable amount. The loss is first recorded against the
goodwill allocated to the CGU, with any remaining loss allocated to other assets on a pro rata
basis proportionate to their carrying amounts. The write-down of goodwill is not reversed in
subsequent periods under any circumstances.

(5) Financial instruments

In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No. 34 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”
and the “Criteria Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, financial
assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets carried at
cost, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. Financial liabilities are classified either
as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or as financial liabilities at cost.

The Company accounts for purchases and sales of financial assets on the trade date, or the date on
which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. At initial recognition, financial assets
are recognized at fair value plus, in the case of investments that are not reported at fair value
through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

A. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

These financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized in profit and loss. Stocks of listed companies, convertible bonds and closed-end
funds are measured at closing prices on the balance sheet date. Open-end funds are measured at
the unit price of the net assets on the balance sheet date.

B. Financial assets carried at cost

Equity investments without reliable market prices, including emerging and other unlisted stocks,
are measured at cost. If objective evidence of impairment exists, the Company recognizes
impairment loss, which is not reversed in subsequent periods.

C. Available-for-sale financial assets

Available for sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as
available for sale or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-
maturity financial assets, or loans and receivables. These assets are then measured at fair
value. The gain or loss arising from change in fair value, excluding impairment loss and
exchange gain or loss from the translation of monetary financial assets denominated in foreign
currencies, is recognized in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until such investment
is reclassified or disposed of, upon which the cumulative gains or losses previously charged to
stockholders’ equity are transferred to current profit or loss.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company measures all financial liabilities at amortized
cost except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured at fair
value.

(6) Allowance for doubtful accounts

Allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized on the basis of the estimated collectability of
accounts receivable and other receivables.

Notes to Financial Statements

(7) Inventories

The costs of inventories include those necessary expenditures incurred in bringing each item of
inventory to its usable condition and location. Cost is calculated on a weighted-average basis.

Up to December 31, 2008, inventories were valued at the lower of cost or market value using the
gross method. The market values of raw materials and supplies were based on the replacement
cost, while those of work in process and finished goods were based on net realizable value.

Effective January 1, 2009, inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net
realizable value by item is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course
of business, less estimated costs of completion and costs incurred in order to make the sale.

(8) Long-term equity investments

Long-term investments are accounted for under the equity method when the percentage of
ownership held by the Company and its subsidiaries exceeds 20% or if the Company and its
subsidiaries own less than 20% of the investee’s common stock but have significant influence on
the investee’s operations. If an investee company accounted for under the equity method issues
new shares and the Company does not purchase new shares proportionately, then the investment
percentage, and therefore the equity in net assets of the investee, will be changed. The effect of
such change is adjusted against the additional paid-in capital resulting from long-term equity
investments or retained earnings.

The difference between the cost of the investment and the amount of underlying equity in net
assets of an investee attributed to depreciable, depletable, or amortizable assets is amortized over
the estimated remaining economic years. The difference attributed to the carrying amount in
excess of or lower than the fair value of assets is written off entirely when the difference
disappears. The cost of investment in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets is
recognized as goodwill and is no longer amortized. The difference attributed to the fair value of
identifiable net assets in excess of the cost of investment causes a proportional decrease in the
carrying amount of non-current assets. When the carrying amount of non-current assets is
decreased to zero, the remaining difference is recorded as extraordinary gain or loss.

The difference between the disposal price and carrying amount of long-term equity investment
under the equity method on the disposal date is recognized as gain or loss from disposal of long-
term equity investment. The associated additional paid-in capital resulting from long-term equity
investment is reclassified into current gain or loss in proportion to disposal of long-term equity
investment.

ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

When the equity of long-term equity investment under the equity method including unrealized gain
on financial instruments, foreign currency translation adjustments, net loss not recognized as
pension cost, and unrealized losses on cash flow hedges is changed, the changes in percentage of
ownership are reflected in those related accounts and long-term equity investment under the equity
method.

Unrealized inter-company profits or losses resulting from transactions between the Company and
its subsidiaries and investees accounted for under the equity method are deferred until realized.

The investees over which the Company has control are consolidated into the Company’s financial
statements. The Company prepares consolidated financial statements on a quarterly basis.

(9) Property, plant and equipment, leased assets, idle assets, and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Cost associated with significant additions,
improvements, and replacements to property, plant and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures
for regular repairs and maintenance are charged against operating income.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided over the estimated useful lives of the
assets by using the straight-line method. If the property, plant and equipment have reached the
end of their estimated useful lives but are still in use, the Company will estimate their remaining
useful lives and residual value, and depreciate the residual value using the same method.
Property, plant and equipment leased to other parties under operating leases are classified as leased
assets. The related depreciation is accounted for as a reduction of rental income. The useful
lives of fixed assets, leased assets and idle assets are as follows:

A. Buildings and equipment: 3 to 50 years.

B. Machinery and equipment: 3 to 8 years.

C. Other equipment: 2 to 15 years.

Property, plant and equipment not currently used in operations are transferred to idle assets. The
cost, accumulated depreciation, and accumulated impairment of the original assets not currently
used in operations are all transferred to idle assets or other assets, and depreciated.

(10) Intangible assets and deferred expenses

Intangible assets represent computer software, which is amortized using the straight-line method
over 3 years.

Deferred expenses represent office decorations, which are amortized using the straight-line
method over 2 to 5 years.

(11) Convertible bonds payable

According to R.O.C. SFAS No. 36 “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation” and
Interpretation (95) 078 by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (ARDF),
convertible bonds with a put option issued by the Group before December 31, 2005, are accounted
for in accordance with SFAS No. 21. The derivative instrument embedded in a non-derivative host
debt instrument is not separated from the equity component of the instrument. Costs incurred for
the issuance of redeemable convertible bonds are deferred and amortized during the period
between the issuance date and the last redeemable date.

Bonds issued after January 1, 2006, are accounted for in accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No. 36 and
Interpretations (95) 290, (97) 331 and (98) 046 by the ARDF as follows:

A. The issuance costs are allocated to the related liability and equity components in proportion of
the initially recognized amounts.

B. Convertible bonds bearing a clause on conversion price adjustment based on stock market price
do not include the equity component. For the liability components, the fair value of the
conversion right and call/put option is determined first; then the book value of main debt
component is determined based on the net amount of the issuance price after deducting the fair
value of the call/put option and conversion right with a clause on price adjustment.

C. Convertible bonds are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Derivatives with call/put
options and conversion rights with a clause on price adjustment are recognized as “financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” and are subsequently measured at fair value.
Movements in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized as “gain/ (loss) on valuation of
financial liabilities”.

D. If the bondholder exercises the right to convert the bonds ahead of the maturity date of the
bonds, the book value of the liability component i s a d j u s t e d to the value on the conversion
date, which serves as the basis for the recording of the issuance of common stock so that no
conversion gain and loss is recognized thereon.

E. If the bondholder is eligible to exercise the put option within one year, the bonds payable are
reclassified as current liability. When the put option expires, those bonds payable are reclassified
as long-term liability if the liability meets the definition of long-term liability.

(12) Retirement plan

The Company makes monthly contributions to the pension fund at 2% of the total monthly salaries
and wages as required by the Labor Standards Law. The fund is administrated by the Employees
Retirement Fund Committee. This pension fund is considered absolutely separate from the
Company after contribution; therefore, it is not included in the accompanying financial statements.

102

ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

Effective from 1995, the Company adopts R.O.C. SFAS No. 18 “Accounting for Pensions”. The
funding status of the pension plan as of December 31, 1995, was measured on an actuarial basis.
Because the accrued pension liability is equal to the funding status of the pension plan, no
unrecognized transitional net assets or net obligations shall be amortized in the future. In
accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No. 18, net pension cost was recognized from January 1, 1996. In
addition, except for a few foreign employees, the Company had settled its financial obligations to
its employees’ under the pension plan accounted for base on SFAS No. 18 as of December 31,
2007.

The new Labor Pension Act became effective on July 1, 2005, and prescribes a defined
contribution pension plan for all new employees and for any employees employed before that date
who opted to adopt it. Under this defined contribution pension plan, the Company contributes
monthly oat the rate of no less than 6% of salaries and wages to employees’ individual pension
fund accounts with the Bureau of Labor Insurance, and this contribution is recorded as pension
expenses in the accompanying statements of income.

(13) Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the revenue earning process has been significantly
completed, which means the revenue has been realized or is readily realizable and earned. Cost is
recognized when the related revenue is accrued; expenses are recognized as current expenses when
incurred.

(14) Employees’ bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration and share-based payment

Appropriation of earnings after January 1, 2008, for employees’ bonuses and directors’
remuneration according to the R.O.C. Company Act and each entity’s article of incorporation
accounts, is accounted for under Interpretation (96) 052 issued by the ARDF. Accordingly, the
Company and domestic subsidiaries estimate the amount of directors’ and supervisors’
remuneration according to the Interpretation and recognize it as expenses. Differences between the
amount approved in the shareholders’ meeting and recognized in the financial statements, if any,
are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized as profit or loss. The Group
adopts R.O.C. SFAS No. 39 to account for the transfer of equity instruments from shareholders
and the Group to the Group’s employees.

(15) Income taxes

Income tax is calculated on the basis of accounting income. The differences between the tax
bases and the book values of assets and liabilities are recorded as deferred tax using the enacted tax
rates for the periods in which the deferred tax is expected to be reversed. The tax effects from
taxable temporary differences are recognized as deferred tax liabilities, while the deductible
temporary differences, and investment tax credits are accounted for as deferred tax assets, which
are assessed an allowance for deferred tax assets based on further realization.

ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the
classification of items that resulted in the deferred item or based on the timing of the expected
reversal, for certain transactions not directly related to an asset or liability.

The 10% additional income tax on unappropriated earnings is recorded as current income tax
expense in the following year when the shareholders resolve not to distribute the earnings.

Current income tax is the higher of current income tax payable or the Alternative Minimum Tax
(“AMT”) calculated by applying the Income Basic Tax Act (“IBTA”). The Company has taken
into consideration the impact of the AMT in the determination of its current income tax expense
and its future impact when estimating the realizable value of the deferred tax assets.

(16) Treasury stock

The Company adopts R.O.C. SFAS No. 30 “Accounting for Treasury Stocks” to account for
treasury stock transaction and recognizes the treasury stock at purchase cost. A gain on the sale of
treasury stock is credited to additional paid-in capital – treasury stock. Losses are charged to
additional paid-in capital, but only to the extent of available net gains from previous sales or
retirements of the same class of stock; otherwise, losses are charged to retained earnings. The
cost of treasury stock is computed using the weighted-average method.

When treasury stock is retired, the weighted-average cost of the retired treasury stock is written off
against the par value of the shares and the paid-in capital derived from the issuance of shares in
excess of par value. If the weighted-average cost written off exceeds the sum of the par value and
the paid-in capital in excess of par value, the difference is debited to additional paid-in capital –
treasury stock arising from the same class of stock or to retained earnings, and if vice versa, the
difference is credited to additional paid-in capital – treasury stock.

(17) Earnings per share

Earnings per share of common stock are computed based on the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per share for the prior period are
retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of new shares issued by transferring additional paid-in
capital, retained earnings, and employees’ bonuses approved in the annual stockholders’ meetings
held before and in 2008.

The convertible bonds and employee stock bonuses which have not yet been approved in the
stockholders’ meeting are potential common shares. Only basic earnings per share are disclosed
if there is no dilution effect. Otherwise, both basic and diluted earnings per share are disclosed.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the potential common shares are deemed
to have been converted into common stock at the beginning of the period, and the effect on net
income of the additional common shares outstanding is considered accordingly.

(18) Spin-off transactions

The Company resolved to spin off its OEM businesses on January 1, 2008. The Company
transferred its computer and non-computer OEM businesses to its spun-off subsidiaries
PEGATRON and UNIHAN and obtained their issued equity. The Company adopts Interpretation
(91) 128 issued by the ARDF to account for its spin-off transactions. Because the transferor
company and the transferee company are affiliated, the transferor company shall recognize long-
term investment under the equity method based on the book value (if the transferor has any
impairment loss, the transferee shall recognize the book value based on impairment loss
recognized) of the assets and liabilities of the transferor company without any transfer gain/(loss).

3. Changes in Accounting Policy and Their Influence

(1) Effective from January 1, 2009, the Company measured its inventories initially and subsequently
in accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No. 10 “Inventories”. Accordingly, net income decreased by
$868,183 and basic earnings per share decreased by 0.2 dollars for the year ended December 31,
2009.

(2) Effective from January 1, 2008, the Company adopted R.O.C. SFAS No. 39 and Interpretation (96)
052 issued by the ARDF for share-based payment transaction. The adoption of these new
accounting principles decreased net income by $903,925 and basic earnings per share by NTD
0.21 for the year ended December 31, 2008. In accordance with Interpretation (97) 169 issued by
the ARDF, the new shares issued as employees’ bonuses in 2008 and later years are no longer
retroactively adjusted when calculating basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.
Employees’ bonuses issued in form of stock with dilutive effect are considered in the calculation
of diluted earnings per share. The Company adopted R.O.C. SFAS No. 39 “Share-based
payment” to account for the transfer of equity instruments from shareholders to the Company’s or
affiliated companies’ employees. Accordingly, net income decreased by $286,224 and basic
earnings per share decreased by 0.07 dollars for the year ended December 31, 2008.

A. In order to enhance competitiveness and boost productivity, the Company’s shareholders


resolved, on October 30, 2007, to restructure the Company’s businesses into own-brand and
OEM. The date of the spin-off was January 1, 2008. Pursuant to the resolution, the
Company transferred its computer OEM business with estimated value of $70,000,000 to its
newly established subsidiary PEGATRON by subscribing 1,600,000,000 newly issued shares of
PEGATRON at $43.75 (dollars) per share. In addition, the Company transferred its non-
computer OEM business and machine hull and molding tool R&D business with estimated
value of $12,000,000 to its newly established subsidiary UNIHAN by subscribing 800,000,000
newly issued shares of UNIHAN at $15 (dollars) per share. The plan was approved by the
relevant authorities. The registration of changes was completed in January 2008. The assets
and liabilities for the spin-off were as follows:

PEGATRON UNIHAN Total

Net Assets $ 70,000,000 12,000,000 82,000,000

In response to foreign currency risk resulting from changes in net assets and inventory
denominated in foreign currencies, the Company signed an agreement with PEGATRON and
UNIHAN requiring whoever benefited from foreign currency translation arising from the spin-
off transaction to compensate the other, where appropriate, for loss due to exchange rate
fluctuation, from December 28, 2007, to March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, the Company
was compensated by PEGATRON and UNIHAN in the amount of $1,602,711 and $255,748,
respectively, and the compensation was recognized as “credit to foreign exchange loss”.
However, the Company also compensated PEGATRON and UNIHAN in the amount of
$365,523 and $109,050, respectively, for valuation loss on inventory, and the compensation
made was recognized as adjustment to “cost of sales”. The agreement was valid until March
31, 2008. The Company collected the aforementioned compensation during the fourth quarter
of 2008.

B. The investment income recognized from these investments under the equity method which
amounted to $7,572,667 and $9,039,978 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, was determined based on the investee companies’ audited financial statements.

refund of $5,093,110 accordingly.

Notes to Financial Statements

Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act, the total shares of treasury stock shall not
exceed 10% of the number of shares issued, and the total purchase cost shall not exceed the
sum of the retained earnings, additional paid-in capital-premiums, and realized additional paid-
in capital. For shares bought back with the intent of maintaining the Company’s credibility
and stockholders’ rights, the registration procedure must be completed within six months from
the date of buyback. Treasury stock held by the Company cannot be pledged and does not
have the right to receive dividends or vote until it is disposed of.

C. Additional paid-in capital

Pursuant to the Company Act, additional paid-in capital can only be used to offset a deficit or to
increase common stock. Cash dividends cannot be declared out of additional paid-in capital.
According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities
Issuers, capital increases through the capitalization of paid-in capital in excess of par value
should not exceed 10% of total common stock outstanding. In addition, capital increases
through the capitalization of paid-in capital in excess of par value can only commence in the
year following the initial year.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, due to the non-proportional investment in investee’s
increase in capital, additional paid-in capital amounting to $1,963,105 and $1,835,145,
respectively, was recognized, in accordance with SFAS. As this additional paid-in capital is
not regulated by the R.O.C. Company Act, Article 241, the transfer thereof to retained earnings
is prohibited.

D. Limitation on distribution of retained earnings

According to the Company’s articles of incorporation, annual net income after making up prior
years' losses, if any, should be distributed as follows: 10% as legal reserve, an appropriate
amount as special reserve according to relevant regulation or as required by the government,
10% of capital stock as capital interest, no less than 1% as employees’ bonuses, and no more
than 1% as directors’ and supervisors’ bonuses. When the employees’ bonuses are distributed
in stock, the recipients must include the employees of subsidiaries. After the distribution of
earnings, the remained earnings, if any, may be appropriated according to a resolution adopted
in a stockholders’ meeting.

The Company is facing a rapidly changing industrial environment, with the life cycle of the
industry in the growth phase. In light of the long-term financial plan of the Company and the
demand for cash by the stockholders, the Company should distribute cash dividends of no less
than 10% of the aggregate of all dividends.

E. Based on the resolutions approved by the stockholders during their annual stockholders’
meetings on June 16, 2009, and June 11, 2008, the employees’ bonuses and directors’ and
supervisors’ remuneration were appropriated from the distributable retained earnings of 2008
and 2007 as follows:

Note: For 2007, employees’ bonuses – stock are presented based on par value of the shares..

There was no difference between the amount of earnings actually distributed for 2008 and that
accrued in the 2008 financial statements, and the earnings distribution for 2008 was recorded as
expense in 2008; the earnings distribution for 2007 was recorded as a deduction from
unappropriated retained earnings. The related information about the distribution of
employees’ bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration determined by the meeting of
the board of directors and approved in the stockholders’ meeting can be accessed from the
Market Observation Post System.

F. According to the Company Act and the Company’s articles of incorporation, the employees’
bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration were estimated and accrued in the 2009
and 2008 financial statements based on a fixed amount approved by the management. The
recognized employees’ bonuses amounted to $698,438 and $950,837, and directors’ and
supervisors’ remuneration amounted to $69,844 and $52,824 for the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. The number of shares distributable as stock dividend is
determined based on the closing price of the day before the shareholders’ meeting date and
considering the ex-rights and ex-dividends effects. Differences between the amount approved
in the shareholders’ meeting and recognized in the financial statements, if any, are accounted
for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized in profit or loss in the year of actual
distribution.

(10) Income taxes

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:

Notes to Financial Statements

The gains resulting from the valuation of financial instruments using a valuation technique
amounted to $210,629 and $862,836 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

D. Information about financial risk

(a) Market risk

(i) The main currency for purchases and sales of the Company is the US dollar. The
Company uses the principle of natural hedge to mitigate the risk and utilizes spot or
forward contracts to hedge foreign currency risk. The forward contracts’ duration
corresponds to the Company’s foreign currency assets’ and liabilities’ due date and
future cash flows. The exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
assets and liabilities will be offset by the exchanges gains and losses resulting from the
forward contracts. Thus, the market risk of foreign currency exchange rate changes
does not have material impact on the Company.

(ii) 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 available-for-sale
financial assets. As these assets are measured at fair value, the Company has risk
exposure related to changes in fair value in an equity securities market.

(b) Credit risk

(i) Credit risk means the potential loss of the Company if the counterpart involved in that
transaction defaults. Since the Company’s derivative financial instrument agreements
are entered into with financial institutions with good credit ratings, management
believes that there is no significant credit risk from these transactions.

(ii) 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 stock issued by companies with good credit ratings.
The Company manages credit risk exposure related to each financial institution and
believes that there is no significant concentration of credit risk of cash and equity
securities. The customers of the Company have good credit and profit records. The
Company is able to evaluate the financial condition of these customers in order to
reduce credit risk of accounts receivable.

(c) Liquidity risk

(i) The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance of funding continuity and flexibility
through the use of financial instruments such as cash and cash in bank, and bonds
payable.

121
26

ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

(ii) The open-end funds and stocks of listed companies held by the Company have public
quoted prices and could be sold at the approximate market price. As to the forward
exchange contracts, there are no significant financing risks due to expected sufficient
capital. Management believes that the cash flow risk is not significant because
contracted foreign currency exchange rates are fixed.

(iii) Equity investments recorded as financial assets carried at cost do not have reliable
market prices and are expected to have liquidity risk.

(2) Use of estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements requires management to


make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.

(3) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Cash or cash equivalents, and assets that are held primarily for the purpose of being traded or are
expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date are classified as current assets;
all other assets are classified as non-current.

Liabilities that are held primarily for the purpose of being traded or are expected to be settled
within 12 months after the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities; all other liabilities
are classified as non-current.

(4) Foreign currency transactions and translation of financial statements in foreign currencies

Transactions involving non-derivative financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies are


recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occurred.
Translation gains or losses arising from the settlement of assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are included in profit or loss in the year of actual settlement.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured on the balance
sheet date using the exchange rates in effect as of that date, with related exchange gains and losses
included in the statements of income.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair
value through stockholders’ equity are remeasured at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance
sheet date, with related exchange gains or losses recorded as cumulative translation adjustment in
stockholders’ equity. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are
measured at fair value through profit or loss are remeasured at the exchange rate prevailing on the
balance sheet date, with related exchange gains or losses recorded in the statements of income.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at cost are
remeasured at the historical exchange rate.

Long-term investments in foreign investees, which are accounted for under the equity method, are
stated on the basis of stockholders’ equity in the foreign-currency financial statements of investees.
Translating gains or losses from long-term investments are recognized as cumulative translation
adjustment in stockholders’ equity.

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(5) Impairment of assets

The Group assesses all applicable assets subject to R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (‘SFAS’) No. 35 for indication of impairment on the balance sheet date. If any
indication of impairment exists, the Group then compares the carrying amount with the
recoverable amount of the assets or the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) and writes down the
carrying amount to the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of an asset other than
goodwill has increased as a result of the increase in its estimated service potential, the Group
reverses the impairment loss to the extent that the carrying amount after the reversal would not
exceed the amount (net of amortization or depreciation) that would otherwise result had no
impairment loss been recognized in prior periods.

The Group assesses the goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet
available for use periodically and on an annual basis and recognizes an impairment loss on the
carrying value in excess of the recoverable amount. The loss is first recorded against the
goodwill allocated to the CGU, with any remaining loss allocated to other assets on a pro rata
basis proportionate to their carrying amounts. The write-down of goodwill is not reversed in
subsequent periods under any circumstances.

(6) Financial instruments

In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No. 34 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”
and the “Criteria Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, financial
assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets carried at
cost, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. Financial liabilities are classified either
as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or as financial assets carried at cost.

The Group accounts for purchases and sales of financial assets on the trade date, or the date on
which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. At initial recognition, financial assets are
recognized at fair value plus, in the case of investments that are not reported at fair value through
profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

A. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

These financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in
fair value recognized in profit and loss. Stocks of listed companies, convertible bonds and
closed-end funds are measured at closing prices on the balance sheet date. Open-end funds are
measured at the unit price of the net assets on the balance sheet date.

(Continued)

152
17

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Statements

B. Financial assets carried at cost

Equity investments without reliable market prices, including emerging and other unlisted stocks,
are measured at cost. If objective evidence of impairment exists, the Group recognizes
impairment loss, which is not reversed in subsequent periods.

C. Available-for-sale financial assets

Available for sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as
available for sale or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-
maturity financial assets, or loans and receivables. These assets are then measured at fair
value. The gain or loss arising from change in fair value, excluding impairment loss and
exchange gain or loss from the translation of monetary financial assets denominated in foreign
currencies, is recognized in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until such investment
is reclassified or disposed of, upon which the cumulative gains or losses previously charged to
stockholders’ equity are transferred to the current profit or loss.

D. Financial assets held to maturity

Debt securities for which the Company has a positive intention and ability to hold to maturity
are classified as financial assets held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost under the
effective interest method. If objective evidence of impairment exists, the Group recognizes
impairment loss. If, in a subsequent period, the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is
clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease. The reversible
amount may not exceed the amortized cost that would have been determined if no impairment
loss had been recognized.

E. Derivative financial assets and liabilities for hedging

The Group recognizes the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair values of the
hedging instrument and the hedged item when hedging relationships meet the criteria for hedge
accounting which is accounted for as follows:

(a) Fair value hedge: Changes in the fair value of a hedging instrument designated as a fair
value hedge are recognized in current profit or loss. The hedged item also is stated at fair
value in respect of the risk being hedged, with any gain or loss being recognized in current
profit or loss.

(Continued)

153
18

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Statements

(b) Cash flow hedge: Changes in the fair value of a hedging instrument designated as a cash
flow hedge are recognized directly in equity. If a hedge of a forecasted transaction
subsequently results in the recognition of an asset or a liability, then the amount recognized
in equity is reclassified into profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the
asset acquired or liability assumed affects profit or loss. For hedges other than those
covered by the preceding statement, the associated cumulative gain or loss is removed from
equity and recognized in profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the
hedged forecast transaction affects profit or loss.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group measures all financial liabilities at amortized cost
except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured at fair
value.

(7) Allowance for doubtful accounts

Allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized on the basis of the estimated collectability of
accounts receivable and other receivables.

(8) Inventories

The costs of inventories include those necessary expenditures incurred in bringing each item of
inventory to its usable condition and location. Cost is calculated on a weighted-average basis.

Up to December 31, 2008, inventories were valued at the lower of cost or market value using the
gross method. The market values of raw materials and supplies were based on the replacement
cost, while those of work in process and finished goods were based on net realizable value.

Effective January 1, 2009, inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net
realizable value by item is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course
of business, less estimated costs of completion and costs incurred in order to make the sale.

(9) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts are recoverable through
a sale transaction within one year rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets held for
sale (disposal group) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Statements

(10) Long-term equity investments (including interests in joint ventures)

Long-term investments are accounted for under the equity method when the percentage of
ownership exceeds 20% or if the Group owns less than 20% of the investee’s common stock but
has significant influence on the investee’s operations. The Group has control over a joint venture
investment and accounts the investment under equity method. The Group prepares consolidated
financial statements using the proportionate consolidation method on balance sheet date. If an
investee company accounted for under the equity method issues new shares and the Company does
not purchase new shares proportionately, then the investment percentage, and therefore the equity
in net assets of the investee, will be changed. The effect of such change is adjusted against the
additional paid-in capital or retained earnings and long-term equity investments.

The difference between the cost of the investment and the amount of underlying equity in net
assets of an investee attributed to depreciable, depletable, or amortizable assets is amortized over
the estimated remaining economic years. The difference attributed to the carrying amount in
excess of or lower than the fair value of assets is written off entirely when the difference
disappears. The cost of investment in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets is
recognized as goodwill and is no longer amortized. The difference attributed to the fair value of
identifiable net assets in excess of the cost of investment causes a proportional decrease in the
carrying amount of non-current assets. When the carrying amount of non-current assets is
decreased to zero, the remaining difference is recorded as extraordinary gain or loss.

The difference between the disposal price and carrying amount of long-term equity investment
under the equity method on the disposal date is recognized as gain or loss from disposal of long-
term equity investment. The associated additional paid-in capital resulting from long-term equity
investment is reclassified into current gain or loss in proportion to disposal of long-term equity
investment.

When the equity of long-term equity investment under the equity method including unrealized gain
on financial instruments, foreign currency translation adjustments, net loss not recognized as
pension cost, and unrealized losses on cash flow hedges is changed, the changes in percentage of
ownership are reflected in those related accounts and long-term equity investment under the equity
method.

Unrealized inter-company profits or losses resulting from inter-company transactions between the
Group and investees which are accounted for under the equity method are deferred until realized.

(11) Investment – land use right

Investment – land use right is stated at cost, and amortized by using the average method over the
contract period. If evidence of impairment exists the recovery from impairment is difficult,
impairment loss is recognized.

(12) Property, plant and equipment, leased assets, idle assets, and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Cost associated with significant additions,
improvements, and replacements to property, plant and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures
for regular repairs and maintenance are charged against operating income.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided over the estimated useful lives of the
assets by using the straight-line method. If the property, plant and equipment have reached the
end of their estimated useful lives but are still in use, the Company will estimate their remaining
useful lives and residual value, and depreciate the residual value using the same method.
Property, plant and equipment leased to other parties under operating leases are classified as leased
assets. The related depreciation is accounted for as a reduction of rental income. The useful
lives of fixed assets, leased assets and idle assets are as follows:

A. Buildings and buildings improvements: 3 to 60 years.

B. Machinery and equipment: 2 to 10 years.

C. Instruments and equipment: 1 to 8 years.

D. Other equipment: 1 to 20 years.

Property, plant and equipment not currently used in operations are transferred to idle assets. The
cost, accumulated depreciation, and accumulated impairment of the original assets not currently
used in operations are all transferred to idle assets or other assets, and depreciated.

(13) Intangible assets and deferred expense

Intangible assets represent trademarks, technological know-how, computer software and land use
rights, which are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated economic lives.
Also, intangible assets are evaluated periodically for impairment in accordance with the R.O.C.
SFAS No. 35. Deferred expense represents office decoration tooling, which is amortized using
the straight-line method over 9 months to 10 years.

(14) Accrued product warranty liability

When the sales of the products attached with a warranty clause are recognized, warranty liabilities
are accrued and current expenses are recorded according to historical return rates and repair costs,
failure rates and warranty periods.

(15) Convertible bonds payable

According to R.O.C. SFAS No. 36 “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation” and
Interpretation (95) 078 by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (ARDF),
convertible bonds with a put option issued by the Group before December 31, 2005, are accounted
for in accordance with SFAS No. 21. The derivative instrument embedded in a non-derivative host
debt instrument is not separated from the equity component of the instrument. Costs incurred for
the issuance of redeemable convertible bonds are deferred and amortized during the period
between the issuance date and the last redeemable date.

Bonds issued after January 1, 2006, are accounted for in accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No. 36 and
Interpretations (95) 290, (97) 331 and (98) 046 by the ARDF as follows:

A. The issuance costs are allocated to the related liability and equity components in proportion of
the initially recognized amounts.

B. Convertible bonds bearing a clause on conversion price adjustment based on stock market price
do not include the equity component. For the liability components, the fair value of the
conversion right and call/put option is determined firs; then the book value of main debt
component is determined based on the net amount of the issuance price after deducting the fair
value of the call/put option and conversion right with a clause on price adjustment.

C. Convertible bonds are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Derivatives with call/put
options and conversion rights with a clause on price adjustment are recognized as “financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” and are subsequently measured at fair value.
Movements in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized as “gain/ (loss) on valuation of
financial liabilities”.

D. If the bondholder exercises the right to convert the bonds ahead of the maturity date of the
bonds, the book value of the liability component i s a d j u s t e d to the value on the conversion
date, which serves as the basis for the recording of the issuance of common stock so that no
conversion gain and loss is recognized thereon.

E. If the bondholder is eligible to exercise the put option within one year, the bonds payable are
reclassified as current liability. When the put option expires, those bonds payable are reclassified
as long-term liability if the liability meets the definition of long-term liability.

(16) Retirement plan

The Company and domestic subsidiaries make monthly contributions to the pension fund at 2% of
the total monthly salaries and wages as required by the Labor Standards Law. The fund is
administrated by the Employees Retirement Fund Committee. This pension fund is considered
absolutely separate from the Company after contribution; therefore, it is not included in the
accompanying financial statements.

(Continued)

157
22

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Statements

According to ROC SFAS No. 18 “Accounting for Pensions”, the Company and domestic
subsidiaries have their pension plan actuarially valued at year-end and recognizes the net periodic
pension costs, including service cost, net unrecognized transaction assets, prior service cost, and
gains or losses on pension over the average remaining service period of the employees. If the
minimum pension liability exceeds the total of unamortized prior service cost and unamortized
unrecognized transaction net benefit liabilities, the net loss not recognized as pension cost is
recognized and classified as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. In addition, except for a few
foreign employees, the Company had settled its financial obligations to its employees’ under the
pension plan accounted for base on SFAS No. 18 as of December 31, 2007.

The new Labor Pension Act became effective on July 1, 2005, and prescribes a defined
contribution pension plan for all new employees and for any employees employed before that date
who opted to adopt it. Under this defined contribution pension plan, the Company and domestic
subsidiaries contribute monthly at the rate of no less than 6% of salaries and wages to employees’
individual pension fund accounts with the Bureau of Labor Insurance, and this contribution is
recorded as pension expenses in the accompanying statements of income.

The overseas subsidiaries which adopt a defined contribution pension plan contribute periodically
on the basis of each local labor law, and such contribution is recorded as current expense.

(17) Revenue recognition

The Group recognizes revenue when the revenue earning process has been significantly completed,
which means the revenue has been realized or is readily realizable and earned. Cost is recognized
when the related revenue is accrued; expenses are recognized as current expenses when incurred.

(18) Employees’ bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration and share-based payment

Appropriation of earnings after January 1, 2008, for employees’ bonuses and directors’
remuneration according to the R.O.C. Company Act and each entity’s article of incorporation
accounts, is accounted for in accordance with Interpretation (96) 052 issued by the ARDF.
Accordingly, the Company and domestic subsidiaries estimate the amount of directors’ and
supervisors’ remuneration according to the Interpretation and recognize it as expenses. Differences
between the amount approved in the shareholders’ meeting and recognized in the financial
statements, if any, are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized as profit or
loss. The Group adopts R.O.C. SFAS No. 39 to account for the transfer of equity instruments
from shareholders and the Group to the Group’s employees.

(19) Income taxes

Income tax is calculated on the basis of accounting income. The differences between the tax
bases and the book values of assets and liabilities are recorded as deferred tax using the enacted tax
rates for the periods in which the deferred tax is expected to be reversed. The tax effects from
taxable temporary differences are recognized as deferred tax liability, while the deductible
temporary differences, loss carryforward and tax credits are accounted for as deferred tax assets,
which are assessed an allowance for deferred tax assets based on future realization.

Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the
classification of items that resulted in the deferred assets or liabilities or, based on the timing of the
expected reversal for certain transactions not directly related to an asset or liability.

Investment tax credits are accounted for using the flow-through method. Therefore, deferred
income tax credits generated from purchases of machinery and equipment and production
technology, development and research expenses, and human resource training expenses are
recognized in the year in which the credit arises.

The 10% additional income tax on unappropriated earnings of the Company and domestic
subsidiaries is recorded as current income tax expense in the following year when the shareholders
resolve not to distribute the earnings.

Current income tax is the higher of current income tax payable or the Alternative Minimum Tax
(“AMT”) calculated by applying the Income Basic Tax Act (“IBTA”). The Company and
domestic subsidiaries have taken into consideration the impact of the AMT in the determination of
their current income tax expense and its future impact when estimating the realizable value of the
deferred tax assets.

The income tax for each consolidated entity is reported on an individual basis with the
relevant country and is not reported on a consolidated basis. The consolidated income tax
expense is the total of income tax expenses for all consolidated entities.

(20) Treasury stock

The Company adopts R.O.C. SFAS No. 30 “Accounting for Treasury Stocks” to account for
treasury stock transaction and recognizes the treasury stock at purchase cost. A gain on the sale of
treasury stock is credited to additional paid-in capital – treasury stock. Losses are charged to
additional paid-in capital, but only to the extent of available net gains from previous sales or
retirements of the same class of stock; otherwise, losses are charged to retained earnings. The
cost of treasury stock is computed using the weighted-average method.

(Continued)

159
24

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Statements

When treasury stock is retired, the weighted-average cost of the retired treasury stock is written off
against the par value of the shares and the paid-in capital derived from the issuance of shares in
excess of par value. If the weighted-average cost written off exceeds the sum of the par value and
the paid-in capital in excess of par value, the difference is debited to additional paid-in capital –
treasury stock arising from the same class of stock or to retained earnings, and if vice versa, the
difference is credited to additional paid-in capital – treasury stock.

(21) Earnings per share

Earnings per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per share for the prior period is
retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of new shares issued by transferring additional paid-in
capital, retained earnings, and employees’ bonuses approved in the annual stockholders’ meetings
held before and in 2008.

The convertible bonds and employee stock bonuses which have not yet been approved in the
stockholders’ meeting are potential common shares. Only basic earnings per share is disclosed if
there is no dilution effect. Otherwise, both basic and diluted earnings per share are disclosed.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the potential common shares are deemed
to have been converted into common stock at the beginning of the period, and the effect on net
income of the additional common shares outstanding is considered accordingly.

3. Changes in Accounting Policy and Their Influence

(1) Effective from January 1, 2009, the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of inventories
are made in accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No. 10 “Inventories”. Accordingly, net income
decreased by $1,053,208 and basic earnings per share decreased by 0.25 dollars for the year ended
December 31, 2009.

(2) Effective from January 1, 2008, the Group adopted R.O.C. SFAS No. 39 and Interpretation (96)
052 issued by the ARDF for share-based payment transaction. The adoption of these new
accounting principles decreased net income by $2,033,489 and basic earnings per share by NTD
0.48 for the year ended December 31, 2008. In accordance with Interpretation (97) 169 issued by
the ARDF, the new shares issued as employees’ bonuses in 2008 and later years are no longer
retroactively adjusted when calculating basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.
Employees’ bonuses issued in form of stock with dilutive effect are considered in the calculation
of diluted earnings per share. The Group adopted R.O.C. SFAS No. 39 “Share-based payment”
to account for the transfer of equity instruments from the Group and its shareholders to the
Company’s or affiliated companies’ employees. Accordingly, net income decreased by $290,298
and basic earnings per share decreased by 0.07 dollars for the year ended December 31, 2008.

A. Capital stock

On June 11, 2008, the stockholders resolved to increase capital by 494,065,000 shares by
capitalizing the retained earnings and employees’ bonuses of $4,940,652. The holders of ECB
1 had converted the bonds into 23,627,000 shares of common stock in 2008.

On June 16, 2009, the stockholders resolved to increase capital by 26,851,000 shares by
capitalizing the retained earnings and employees’ bonuses of $268,512. The record date of
this capital increase was set as August 24, 2009. The registration procedures related to the
issuance of shares were completed.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the authorized capital of the Company was $47,500,000
($500,000 was reserved for employee stock options). Each share of this authorized capital has a
par value of $10 per share.

The Company issued Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and the GDRs are now listed on the
London Stock Exchange. The GDRs (originally 21,000,000 units issued and changed to
4,200,000 units from January 2, 2008) represent 21,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock.

B. Treasury stock

Beginning of the year - $ -


Addition 26,125 873,459
Retirement (26,125) (873,459)

Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act, the total shares of treasury stock shall not
exceed 10% of the number of shares issued, and the total purchase cost shall not exceed the
sum of the retained earnings, additional paid-in capital-premiums, and realized additional paid-
in capital. For shares bought back with the intent of maintaining the Company’s credibility
and stockholders’ rights, the registration procedure must be completed within six months from

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Statements

C. Additional paid-in capital

Pursuant to the Company Act, additional paid-in capital can only be used to offset a deficit or to
increase common stock. Cash dividends cannot be declared out of additional paid-in capital.
According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities
Issuers, capital increases through the capitalization of paid-in capital in excess of par value
should not exceed 10% of total common stock outstanding. In addition, capital increases
through the capitalization of paid-in capital in excess of par value can only commence in the
year following the initial year.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, due to the non-proportional investment in investee’s
increase in capital, additional paid-in capital amounting to $1,963,105 and $1,835,145,
respectively, was recognized, in accordance with SFAS. As this additional paid-in capital is
not regulated by the R.O.C. Company Act, Article 241, the transfer thereof to retained earnings
is prohibited.

D. Limitation on distribution of retained earnings

According to the Company’s articles of incorporation, annual net income after making up prior
years' losses, if any, should be distributed as follows: 10% as legal reserve, an appropriate
amount as special reserve according to relevant regulation or as required by the government,
10% of capital stock as capital interest, no less than 1% as employees’ bonuses, and no more
than 1% as directors’ and supervisors’ bonuses. When the employees’ bonuses are distributed
in stock, the recipients must include the employees of subsidiaries. After the distribution of
earnings, the remained earnings, if any, may be appropriated according to a resolution adopted
in a stockholders’ meeting.

The Company is facing a rapidly changing industrial environment, with the life cycle of the
industry in the growth phase. In light of the long-term financial plan of the Company and the
demand for cash by the stockholders, the Company should distribute cash dividends of no less
than 10% of the aggregate of all dividends.

E. Based on the resolutions approved by the stockholders during their annual stockholders’
meetings on June 16, 2009, and June 11, 2008, the employees’ bonuses and directors’ and
supervisors’ remuneration were appropriated from the distributable retained earnings of 2008
and 2007 as follows:

2008 2007

Employees’ bonuses – cash $ 250,837 912,030


Employees’ bonuses – stock (note) 700,000 1,200,000
Directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration 52,824 211,203
$ 1,003,661 2,323,233

(Continued)

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Statements

Note: For 2007, employees’ bonuses – stock are presented based on par value of the shares.

There was no difference between the amount of earnings actually distributed for 2008 and that
accrued in the 2008 financial statements, and the earnings distribution for 2008 was recorded as
expense in 2008; the earnings distribution for 2007 was recorded as a deduction from
unappropriated retained earnings. The related information about the distribution of employees’
bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration determined by the meeting of the board of
directors and approved in the stockholders’ meeting can be accessed from the Market
Observation Post System.

F. According to the Company Act and the Company’s articles of incorporation, the employees’
bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration were estimated and accrued in the 2009
and 2008 financial statements based on a fixed amount approved by the management. The
recognized employees’ bonuses amounted to $698,438 and $950,837, and directors’ and
supervisors’ remuneration amounted to $69,844 and $52,824 for the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. The number of shares distributable as stock dividend is
determined based on the closing price of the day before the shareholders’ meeting date and
considering the ex-rights and ex-dividends effects. Differences between the amount approved
in the shareholders’ meeting and recognized in the financial statements, if any, are accounted
for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized in profit or loss in the year of actual
distribution.

(17) Income taxes

A. The Company was certified to meet the definition of “Business Operation Headquarters” as
defined by the “Statute for Upgrading Industries,” Article 70-1. According to the statute, the
Company can obtain an income tax exemption on dividends declared by the board of directors
of an investee. The Company has obtained the exemption certificates for 2009 and 2008.

B. The Company and domestic subsidiaries are subject to income tax at a statutory rate of 25%
and subject to the “Income Basic Tax Act” to calculate income tax. According to the amended
tax law issued on May 27, 2009, the statutory income rate will be reduced to 20% commencing

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 and financial assets held to maturity: Those are investments
in companies whose shares are not publicly listed and beneficiary certificates, and have no
available market prices.

(d) The fair value of derivative financial assets and liabilities for hedging is determined using a
valuation technique. The estimates and assumptions used in such valuation are similar to
those used by market participants when deciding a price for financial assets or liabilities.
That information is available to the Group.

(e) 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.

(f) The fair value of long-term loans was estimated by the discounted value of expected cash
flow. The discount rate used was based on the interest rate of long-term loans with similar
conditions. Based on the results of the evaluation, the fair value is close to book value.

2008, respectively.

D. Information about financial risk

(a) Market risk

(i) The Group is exposed to foreign currency risks arising from purchases or sales
denominated in foreign currencies. The Group uses the principle of natural hedge to
mitigate the risk and utilize spot or forward contracts to hedge foreign currency risk.
The notional amounts of the foreign currency contracts are the same as the amounts of
the hedged items. In principle, the Group does not enter into any forward contracts for
commitments of uncertain nature. The Group enters into forward currency contracts
to hedge the exchange rate risk of assets, liabilities and commitments denominated in
foreign currencies. The Group’ hedging strategy is to avoid most market price risks.
The Group uses the derivatives that have highest negative correlation with the hedged
items as hedging instruments and evaluates the hedge effectiveness periodically.

(Continued)

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Statements

(ii) The open-end funds & stocks of listed companies held by the Company are classified as
financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale
financial assets. As these assets are measured at fair value, the Group has risk
exposure related to changes in fair value in an equity securities market.

(b) Credit risk

(i) Credit risk means the potential loss of the Group if the counterpart involved in that
transaction defaults. Since the Group’s derivative financial instrument agreements are
entered into with financial institutions with good credit ratings, management believes
that there is no significant credit risk from these transactions.

(ii) The primary potential credit risk is from financial instruments like cash, bank deposits,
equity securities under non-equity method, and accounts receivable. The Group
deposits cash in different financial institutions. Equity securities under non-equity
method were funds and listed stock issued by companies with good credit ratings.
The Group manages credit risk exposure related to each financial institution and
believes that there is no significant concentration of credit risk of cash and equity
securities. As the customers of the Group have good credit and profit records, the
Group is able to evaluate the financial conditions of these customers in order to reduce
credit risk of accounts receivable.

(c) Liquidity risk

(i) The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance of funding continuity and flexibility
through the use of financial instruments such as cash and cash in bank, and bonds
payable.

(ii) The open-end funds & stocks of listed companies held by the Company have publicly
quoted prices and could be sold at the approximate market price. As to the forward
exchange contracts, there are no significant financing risks due to expected sufficient
capital. Management believes that the cash flow risk is not significant because
contracted foreign currency exchange rates are fixed.

(iii) Equity investments recorded as financial assets carried at cost do not have reliable
market prices and are expected to have liquidity risk.

(iv) The derivative financial instruments for hedging are intended mainly to hedge the
exchange rate risk from future cash flows. The forward contracts’ duration corresponds
to the Group’s foreign currency future cash flows. The Group will settle the foreign
currency liabilities at expiration of the contracts. Thus, management believes that the
cash flow risk is not significant.

(Continued)

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Statements

(d) Cash flow risk arising from variation in interest rates

The Group’s long-term loans bear floating interest rates. Changes in the prevailing market
rate will affect the effective interest rate on long-term loans and cause future cash flows to
fluctuate.
