To announce the differences between the second quarter of 2018 financial statements under Taiwan-IFRSs and IFRSs

 

Date of events: 2018/08/08

 

Contents:

 

1.Date of occurrence of the event:2018/08/08

2.Of which year/ quarter financial report required to be adjusted:

The second quarter of 2018

3.Accounting principles applied (domestic listing securities):

Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities

Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial

Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory

Commission of the Republic of China (“Taiwan-IFRSs”)

4.Inconsistent items/ amounts (domestic listing securities):

Under Taiwan-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries

(or the “Company”) reported consolidated net income of NT$10,063,385

thousand and NT$19,090,889 thousand, consolidated net income attributable

to stockholders of the parent of NT$9,861,497 thousand and NT$18,589,021

thousand, and basic earnings per share of NT$1.27 and NT$2.40 for the

three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The Company

also reported total assets of NT$480,278,587 thousand, total liabilities

of NT$110,912,224 thousand, and total equity of NT$369,366,363 thousand

as of June 30, 2018.

5.Accounting principles applied (securities issued overseas):

IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International

Accounting Standard Board (“IFRSs”)

6.Inconsistent items/ amounts (securities issued overseas):

Under IFRSs, the Company reported consolidated net income of NT$13,513

million and NT$22,036 million, consolidated net income attributable to

stockholders of the parent of NT$13,204 million and NT$21,471 million,

and basic earnings per share of NT$1.70 and NT$2.77 for the three months

and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The Company also

reported total assets of NT$480,073 million, total liabilities of

NT$111,900 million, and total equity of NT$368,173 million as of

June 30, 2018.

7.Cause of the inconsistency:

The differences between consolidated net income under Taiwan-IFRSs and

that under IFRSs followed by the Company mainly come from the timing of

the recognition of income tax on unappropriated earnings. In addition,

prior to incorporation, the Company was subject to the laws and

regulations applicable to state-owned enterprises in Taiwan which

differed from the generally accepted accounting principles as applicable

to commercial companies. As such, revenue from providing fixed line

connection service and selling prepaid phone cards was recognized at the

time the service was performed or the card was sold by the Company.

Upon incorporation, net assets greater than the capital stock was

credited as additional paid-in-capital and part of the additional

paid-in-capital was from the unearned revenues generated from connection

fees and prepaid cards as of the date of incorporation. Under IFRSs,

revenue from connection fees and prepaid phone cards was deferred at

the time of the service performed or sale and recognized as revenue

over time as the service is continuously performed or as consumed.

11

 

---

This reclassification from additional paid-in capital to retained

earnings did not affect total equity.

8.Any other matters that need to be specified:

Chunghwa Telecom’s earnings distribution and stockholders’ equity

matters are in accordance with Taiwan-IFRSs.
