Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
b.Foreign-currency Transactions
(1) | The accounts of the Company are maintained in New Taiwan Dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. |
(2) | Foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the exchange rate fluctuations between the transaction date and the actual settlement date are recognized as follows: |
| (a) | When the transaction date and the actual settlement date fall in the same accounting period, the differences between the recorded amount and the settled amount are credited to or charged against current income. |
| (b) | When the transaction date and the actual settlement date fall in different accounting periods, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are restated using the spot rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Any resulting gains or losses are reflected in current income. |
c.Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Allowance for doubtful accounts represents estimates of the uncollectable amount out of the outstanding notes receivable and accounts receivable at the balance sheet date.
d.Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method, while market value is the net realizable value for finished goods and merchandise, and replacement cost for raw materials, supplies and work in process.
11
e. Long-term Investments
(1) | Long-term investments are stated at cost. |
(2) | Long-term investments in which the Company owns less than 20% of the investee company’s outstanding shares and has no significant influence on the operational decisions of the investee company, are accounted for by the lower of cost or market value method if the investee company is listed and at cost if the investee company is unlisted. |
(3) | For assets and liabilities, the exchange rate at the balance sheet date is used. For stockholders’ equity, the beginning balance of retained earnings is translated at the translated amount at the end of the prior period, whereas the other stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at the historical exchange rates. For revenues, expenses, gains, and losses, the weighted average exchange rate for the period is used. Resulting translation adjustments are reported separately and accumulated in a cumulative translation adjustment account, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity. |
(4) | Unrealized intercompany gains and losses are eliminated under the equity method. Profits from transactions of depreciable assets between the investees and the Company are amortized over the assets’ economic service lives. Profit from other types of intercompany transactions is recognized when realized. |
f.Property, Plant and Equipment
(1) | Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives allowed by local income tax laws and regulations. |
The useful lives are summarized as follows:
| | |
Items
| | Useful Lives
|
Buildings | | 8~50 years |
Machinery and equipment | | 8 years |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | | 3~5 years |
(2) | Major replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. |
(3) | Interest incurred in connection with the construction or acquisition of property, plant and equipment is capitalized as part of the cost of the assets. |
(4) | Gains or losses from disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized as non-operating income or expenses. |
g.Deferred Charges

h.Accrued Pension Liabilities
(1) | In conformity to the Labor Standards Law of the Republic of China (“the Law”), the Company established an Employee Retirement Fund (“the Fund”) and began its contributions to the Fund at 2% of the |
12
| total salaries and wages from February 2001. The Fund is administered by the Employee Retirement Fund Committee of the Company as prescribed by the Law, and is maintained under the Committee’s name with a government-approved financial institution. The Fund is totally independent from the Company, and is hence excluded from the financial statements. |
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the balances of the retirement fund were $4,626,908 and $3,482,391 respectively.
(2) | Effective from 2001, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.18 of Taiwan, “Accounting for Pensions.” Based on the actuarial report with a measurement date of December 31, 2001, the excess of the accumulated benefit obligations over plan assets is recognized as the minimum pension liability. Net pension costs based on the actuarial report are recognized from January 1, 2002, and the unrecognized net asset or obligation during transition period is amortized equally over 15 years. |
i.Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency transactions other than forward exchange contracts are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Gains or Losses, caused by different foreign exchange rates applied when foreign currency is actually converted into New Taiwan dollars, or when the foreign currency receivables or payables are settled, are credited or charged to income in the year of actual conversion or settlement. Year-end balances of cash, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the year-end exchange rates, and resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to current income.
Gains or losses (the differences between the balance sheet date spot exchange rates and the spot exchange rates at the inception of the contracts, multiplied by the principal amounts of foreign currencies) on all hedge forward foreign exchange contracts are recognized in net income of the period in which the exchange rate changes. The discounts or premiums (the differences between the contract rates and the spot rates on the dates of purchase, multiplied by the principal amounts of foreign currencies) involved in all forward foreign exchange contracts are separately accounted for and amortized to net income over the terms of the contracts.
j.Recognition of Revenue
The Company adopted SFAS No. 32 of Taiwan “Accounting for Recognition of Revenue. “
k.Income Tax
The Company adopted SFAS No. 22, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No.22, a current income tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences, tax credits, and loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company’s undistributed retaining earnings are subjected to an additional 10% income tax which is expensed as of the date of the shareholders’ meeting when the appropriation of earnings is resolved.
The Company adopted SFAS NO.12, “Income Tax Credit.” Under SFAS No.12 income tax credit resulted from acquisition of equipment, expenditures on technique research and development, and personnel training are recognized in the current period.
13

3.Reason and Effect of Changes in Accounting Principles

Forward contract is used to hedge fluctuations in currency rates. The gains or losses on the effective portion of the hedge are reclassified into earning when amount on the related debtor credit is paid or received.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented to illustrate the effects of the acquisition by Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (Pericom) of eCERA ComTek Corporation (eCERA). A pro forma condensed balance sheet is not provided as our 10-Q for the period ending October 1, 2005, filed on November 15, 2005, already reflected the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005 was prepared as if the acquisition had occurred as of the first day of the fiscal year ending July 2, 2005. The pro forma statement of operations for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005, includes the historical results of Pericom and eCERA plus the effect of recurring amortization of the acquired related intangible assets. Such pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of that date or the results which may occur in the future.
The unaudited pro forma financial adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that Pericom believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma adjustments to reflect the allocation of the purchase price are based upon the preliminary information which may be revised as additional information becomes available. The notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements provide a more detailed discussion of how such adjustments were derived and presented in the pro forma financial statements. Such financial statements have been compiled from historical financial statements and other information, but do not purport to represent what Pericom’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the transactions occurred on the dates indicated, or to project Pericom’s financial performance for any future periods.

Under a separate share purchase agreement executed on August 30, 2005 AKER has agreed to offer, sell and deliver to eCERA the remaining 50% ownership comprised of 5,500,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $8.182 per share for an aggregate purchase price of Forty Five Million New Taiwan Dollars, or approximately $1.4 million based on exchange rates on September 7, 2005.

The Company used and will use working capital to make these investments in eCERA and Azer.
2. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The total purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s best estimates of their fair value with any excess cost over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to goodwill. The

This allocation is subject to change pending a final analysis of the total purchase cost and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase cost, as well as the impact of ongoing integration activities, estimated other liabilities directly related to the eCERA acquisition and changes in purchase accounting allocations, could all cause material differences from the information presented.
3. Pro Forma Adjustments
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are as follows:
A. | To eliminate intercompany sales and cost of sales. |
B. | To record the amortization of intangibles |
Amounts represent the amortization of intangible assets (per the allocation of the estimated purchase price in 2 above) that would have been recorded during the year ended July 2, 2005 had the transaction closed on the first day of fiscal year 2005. The intangible assets in Pericom’s acquisition of eCERA will be amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to seven years. Management has completed its preliminary allocation of the purchase price and does not expect the final allocation to differ materially from the preliminary determination.
