Notes to the Consolidated

Financial Statements for the

years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011,

and January 1, 2011

 

1. General Information

Ismeca Semiconductor Holding SA and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Group”, “we”, “us” or “Ismeca”) is a 100% owned subsidiary of the parent company Delta Design Luxembourg S.à r.l. The ultimate parent company is COHU, Inc. California, United States (“COHU”). Ismeca was acquired by COHU on December 31, 2012 from its former owner Schweiter Technologies AG, Horgen, Switzerland (“Schweiter”).

Ismeca Semiconductor Holding SA, incorporated under Swiss Law (“Société Anonyme”) has its registered office at rue de l’Helvétie 283, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

Ismeca manufactures products which are used for the testing, assembly and packaging of devices in semiconductor plants all over the world. From standalone systems to complete integrated lines, the wide range of equipment provides the best solutions for Back-End processes.

2. Principles of Consolidation and Valuation

Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements of Ismeca have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange of the assets.

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Reporting

These are the Company’s first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Therefore, IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Reporting Standards has been applied. Because Ismeca was historically part of a larger group, its underlying records are in IFRS and as a result, there has been no impact on the financial position, financial performance and cashflows arising from the first time adoption of IFRS. In accordance with IFRS 1, the Company is required to use consistent accounting policies from its opening IFRS balance sheet, which is January 1, 2011, and throughout all periods presented in its first IFRS financial statements, with the last period being the year ended December 31, 2012.

The consolidated annual financial statements are presented in Swiss francs (“CHF”). The individual financial statements of each of the Group’s companies are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). All financial information presented in CHF has been rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated.

Adoption of new and revised Standards

The Group has applied IAS 19 (as revised in June 2011) Employee Benefits and the related consequential amendments retrospectively in advance of its effective date of January 1, 2013. The amendments to IAS 19 change the accounting for defined benefit schemes and termination benefits. The most significant change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and scheme assets. The amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in fair value of scheme assets when they occur, and hence eliminate the ‘corridor approach’ permitted under the previous version of IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. All actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability recognized in the consolidated balance sheet to reflect the full value of the scheme deficit or surplus. Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on scheme assets used in the previous version of IAS 19 are replaced with a ‘net-interest’ amount under IAS 19 (as revised in June 2011), which is calculated by applying a discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. IAS 19 (as revised in June 2011) also introduces more extensive disclosures in the presentation of the defined benefit cost.

Basis of Consolidation

The Group’s consolidated financial statements, comprising the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, as well as the cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity are based on the accounting records of the companies included as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 December

each year. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by the group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

 

 

Scope of Consolidation

The following companies were fully consolidated as at December 31, 2012:

Conversion of Foreign Currencies

The annual statements of foreign subsidiaries are prepared in the functional currency of the respective subsidiary, which will normally be the national currency, and converted into Swiss francs for consolidation purposes: The balance sheet is translated at year-end exchange rates and the income statement at the average exchange rate for the financial year. Resulting foreign currency translation differences are credited/debited to other income in the consolidated

statement of comprehensive income and recognized as a separate component in shareholders’ equity. Other exchange rate differences, including those arising from foreign currency transactions in connection with normal business activities, are credited/debited to the income statement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents contain cash holdings, bank account balances and money market investments with original maturities up to 3 months.

Trade Receivables

The reported value corresponds to the invoiced amounts less allowance for doubtful debts.

Inventories and Work in Progress

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

Work in progress represents inventories that are in the process of being installed into machines, but are not yet finished.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Land is reported in the balance sheet at acquisition cost. Value adjustments are made for any decrease in value which has occurred. Buildings, machinery, vehicles and operating equipment are reported at acquisition costs minus accrued depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

   Depreciation  

Land

     No depreciation   

Buildings

     40 years   

Leasehold improvements

     period of use or rental

     8 - 10 years   

Computer systems

     3 - 5 years   

Vehicles

     3 - 5 years   

Plant under construction

     No depreciation   

Short-term leasing (operating leasing) costs are charged directly to the income statement. The corresponding liabilities are disclosed in the notes.

Impairment of Tangible Assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell or value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the Group’s balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial Assets

All financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value.

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ (AFS) financial assets and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

Effective Interest Method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Impairment of Financial Assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For all financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

 

   

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

 

   

default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

 

   

it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

 


Ismeca Semiconductor Holding SA | Consolidated Financial Statements 2012 | Page 11

 

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the differences between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

Derecognition of Financial Assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

Income Tax

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current Tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the group is unable to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset

is realized based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited in other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Benefits due to Employees

Payments to defined contribution benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as payments to defined contribution schemes where the group’s obligations under the schemes are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution benefit scheme.

For defined benefit schemes, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Remeasurement comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on scheme assets (excluding interest) are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit to the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recorded in the statement of comprehensive income is not recycled. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of scheme amendment. Net-interest is calculated by applying a discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are split into three categories:

 

   

current service cost, past-service cost and gains and losses on curtailments and settlements;

 

   

net-interest expense or income; and

 

   

remeasurement.

The Group presents the first component of defined benefit costs within cost of sales and administrative expenses in its consolidated income statement. Curtailments gains and losses are accounted for as past-service cost.

Net-interest expense or income is recognized within finance costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated balance sheet represents the deficit or surplus in the Group’s defined benefit schemes. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the schemes or reductions in future contributions to the schemes.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognizes any related restructuring costs.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the

 


Ismeca Semiconductor Holding SA | Consolidated Financial Statements 2012 | Page 12

 

present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Revenues

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, sales tax, bad debt related losses and other sales-related taxes.

Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sale of machines and spare parts is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

 

   

the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

 

   

the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

 

   

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

 

   

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and

 

   

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Rendering of Services

Revenue from services is recognized when rendered.

Interest Revenue

Interest income is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Rental Income

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Assumptions and Use of Estimates

Significant judgements and estimates are used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements which, to the extent that actual outcomes and results may differ from these assumptions and estimates, could affect the accounting in the areas as described. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the given circumstances. The results subsequently achieved may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and are adjusted appropriately if new information or findings come to light. Such changes are recognized in the income statement in the period in which the estimate is revised.

The key assumptions are described below and are also outlined in the respective notes.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is only recognized when, in management’s judgement, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer. In making this

judgement, management take into consideration its ability to reliably estimate returns from customers and warrantees based on historical experience. Where the level of returns can be reliably estimated, a provision is recognised against revenues. Provisions for warrantees are recognised as an expense. Management believe that revenue has been appropriately recognised in the financial statements.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed when there are signs of impairment. To determine whether any impairment exists, management estimates and assesses future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets or their possible disposal. In the same way, the assumed periods of use are based on management’s best estimate. The related carrying amount as of December 31, 2012 is outlined in Note 7 “Property, Plant and Equipment”.

Income Taxes

Significant estimates are required in determining the current and deferred assets and liabilities for income taxes. In particular, this also relates to the application of deferred tax assets for any future use of existing losses carried forward. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations. Management believes that the estimates are reasonable and that the recognized assets and liabilities for income tax-related uncertainties are adequately recognized.

Receivables and Inventories

The value adjustment for receivables takes account of the assessment of bad debt and credit risks. When reporting inventories on the balance sheet, estimates need to be made of their value retention based on the expected consumption of the article in question. The write down to inventories is calculated based on a “days in inventory analysis”. Where necessary, the parameters are adjusted. The related carrying amount as of December 31, 2012 is outlined in Note 4 “Trade Receivables” and Note 6 “Inventories and Work in Progress”.

Staff Pension Schemes

Certain Ismeca employees participate in post-employment pension schemes treated as defined benefit pension plans in accordance with IAS 19. The calculations of the recognized assets and liabilities from such plans are based upon statistical and actuarial calculations. The actuarial assumptions used, in agreement with Management, may have an impact on the assets and liabilities of staff pension schemes recognized in the balance sheet in future reporting periods. The related carrying amount as of December 31, 2012 is outlined in Note 10 “Retirement Benefit Obligations”.

Provisions for Litigation

Some Group companies are exposed to litigation. Based on current knowledge, management has made an assessment of the possible impact of these legal cases and has reported provisions on the balance sheet accordingly (if any).

 


Ismeca Semiconductor Holding SA | Consolidated Financial Statements 2012 | Page 13

 

Risk Assessment

The company has an implemented risk management system. On the basis of a periodic systematic risk identification process, the key risks to which the company is exposed are assessed in terms of their likelihood and impact. Appropriate measures, decided by the Board of Directors are taken to mitigate or minimize these risks.

Financial Risk Management

Market Risks and Risk Management Basic Principles

The Group is subject to market risks, credit risks and liquidity risks. The market risk consists primarily of foreign currency risks and, to a lesser degree, interest rate risks.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Group’s internal control system which monitor, but cannot rule out, the risk of inadequate business performance. These systems provide appropriate, though not absolute, security against significant inaccuracies and material losses. Management is responsible for identifying and assessing risks that are of significance.

In addition to quantitative approaches and formal guidelines – which are only part of a comprehensive risk management approach – it is also considered important to establish and maintain a corresponding risk management culture.

Foreign Currency Risk

As the Group engages in international operations, it is exposed to exchange rate risks. These risks relate primarily to the US dollar (“USD”). Some forward exchange transactions are used to hedge exchange rate risks. These instruments are not used for speculative purposes.

Foreign currency risks arising from the conversion of items in the income statements and balance sheets of foreign Group companies are not hedged.

A 5% increase or decrease in the Swiss franc against the USD on December 31, 2012 would have resulted in a decrease or increase respectively, to the pre-tax profit of the Group of TCHF 163 (2011: TCHF 1’518).

A parallel 5% shift in the exchange rates of all currencies would change consolidated shareholders’ equity by TCHF 628 (previous year: TCHF 204).

Interest Rate Risks

Interest rate risks arise from changes in interest rates which have negative repercussions on the Group’s asset and earnings situation. Interest rate fluctuations lead to changes in interest income and interest expense on interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

A 1% rise in interest rates would have increased the interest expense by around TCHF 33 (2011: TCHF 250). By the same token, a 1% fall in interest rates would have reduced interest expense by TCHF 33 (2011: TCHF 250).

Credit Risks

Cash and cash equivalents: As a component of risk policy, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are invested with various first-class banks, mainly in the form of term deposits or current account balances. The Group is exposed to credit risks in the event of banks failing to fulfil their obligations. The banks’ credit ratings are regularly reviewed, as are the sums invested with each bank.

Receivables: There are no risks of concentration relating to trade accounts receivable. To minimize default risks, appropriate additional collateral (e.g. irrevocable confirmed

documentary credits, bank guarantees, credit risk insurance etc.) is agreed upon based on specific industry, country and customer analyses. The Group carries out constant checks on customers’ creditworthiness and does not have any major concentrations of default risks.

The maximum credit risk corresponds to the book value of the asset.

Capital Management

As part of its capital management, the Group’s aim is to secure current financial requirements for the continuation of the business and to provide the necessary resources to achieve its growth targets.

The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions, business activities, the investment and expansion program and the risks posed by the underlying assets. To manage the capital structure, the Group can adjust dividend payments, make capital repayments to shareholders, issue new shares, increase its borrowing or sell assets to reduce debts.

Liquidity Risk

To meet their obligations, the Group companies require sufficient liquidity. In order to meet the corresponding liabilities, the Group has cash and cash equivalents, cash from operating activities and unused credit lines.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.

10. Retirement Benefit Obligations

The Group operates various pension plans for employees that satisfy the participation criteria. Among these plans are both defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans that cover the majority of employees for death, disability and retirement.

Defined Contribution Pension Plans

The Group offers defined contribution plans for staff who meet the relevant admission criteria. The plan in Malaysia is a state-run saving plan. The company is obliged to contribute a predefined percentage of employees’ annual salaries to the pension plans.

In some other countries, the employer offers defined contribution pension plans. The assets of these plans are held in separate legal entities which are independent of the company and are not accessible to the employer.

For the 2012 financial year, the employer’s contribution to defined contribution plans amounted to TCHF 1’039 (2011: TCHF 857).

Defined Benefit Plans

The Group sponsors a defined benefit pension plan in Switzerland for employees who meet the relevant admission criteria. From June 1st, 2012, the assets of this plan have been held and managed by an independent collective foundation of a major insurance company. Prior to this date, the assets were held and managed by an independent foundation. Because of the decreasing number of participants’ over the last years, the assets were transferred to a collective foundation. As part of this change, certain benefits have been changed which resulted in a gain of TCHF 1’360 during 2012 (disclosed under past service cost). The main change relates to the reduction in the amount that a member is entitled to upon retirement.

The Board of Trustees is made up of equal numbers of employee and employer representatives. Under the law and the pension regulations, the Board of Trustees has a duty to act only in the interests of the foundation and the beneficiaries (active insured members and members receiving pensions). This means that the employer itself cannot determine the benefits or how they are financed. Instead, the decisions are taken jointly. The Board of Trustees is responsible for defining the investment strategy, for making changes to the pension fund regulations and in particular also for defining the financing of the pension benefits. The retirement savings accounts are managed for each employee. The annual retirement credits and interest are credited to these retirement savings accounts (there will be no possibility of negative interest). When members come to retire, they will be able to choose whether to take a pension for life or a lump sum. In addition to retirement benefits, the plan benefits will also include disability and partner pensions. These benefits will be calculated as a percentage of the employee’s

annual insured salary. Members may also buy into the scheme to improve their pension provision up to the maximum amount permitted under the rules or may withdraw funds early for the purchase of a residential property for their own use. On leaving the company, the retirement savings will be transferred to the pension institution of the new employer or to a vested benefits institution. This type of benefit may result in pension payments varying considerably between individual years.

In defining the benefits, the minimum requirements of the Law on Occupational Retirement, Survivors and Disability Pension Plans (BVG) and its implementing provisions must be observed. The BVG defines the minimum covered salary and the minimum retirement credits. The interest rate applicable to these minimum retirement savings is set by the Swiss Federal Council at least once every two years. In 2012, the rate was 1.5%, as against 2.0% in 2011.

The structure of the plan and the legal provisions of the BVG mean that the employer is exposed to actuarial risks. The main risks are investment risk, interest risk, disability risk and the risk of longevity.

The assets originate from the pension plans in Switzerland. The Boards of Trustees issue investment guidelines for the plan assets which include the tactical asset allocation and the benchmarks for comparing the results with a general investment universe. The Swiss pension plans are also subject to the legal requirements on diversification and safety laid down by the BVG (BVG = Federal Law on Occupational Retirement, Survivors’ and Disability Pension Plans). Bonds generally have at least an A rating.

The plan assets do not include any direct investments in the Group. As shares are also held via fund units, the possibility that such units might include shares in the Group cannot be ruled out.

The assets generated a gain of TCHF 254 in 2012 and a loss of TCHF 354 in 2011.

The following table provides a breakdown of the defined benefit obligations among active insured members, former members with vested benefits and members receiving pensions. The terms of the obligations are also given:

Guarantees

The provisions for guarantees are calculated on the basis of individual cases and managements’ best estimates.

Other

Other provisions cover mainly obligations arising from personnel-related payments such as pension benefits and long-service awards.

As at December 31, 2012 there exists a provision in the amount of TCHF 9 (previous year: TCHF 8) for other long-term payments and TCHF 94 (previous year: TCHF 0) for pension benefits.

The amount of the provisions is based on the outflow of resources which Management anticipates will be needed to cover liabilities.

At the head office in Switzerland, the tax is levied by the Confederation and the canton of Neuchâtel. In 2012, the tax rate has been reduced by the canton of Neuchâtel resulting in the total income tax rate at head office changing from 22.18% to 20.95%.

Tax Losses Carried Forward

The unrecognized deferred tax asset in respect of tax losses carried forward available for offset against future taxable profits was CHF 18.2 million (2011: CHF 39.9 million). Management does not believe it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which to utilize the benefits.

These tax losses carried forward will expire as follows:

23. Financial Instruments measured at Fair Value

Valuations at Fair Value recognized in the Balance Sheet

 

Financial instruments valued at fair value when first included are allocated to hierarchical levels 1 to 3 according to the observability of valuation inputs.

 

Level 1 valuations at fair value are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2 valuations at fair value are based on data other than the prices quoted in level 1. The factors used for the valuation are observable either directly (e.g. as prices) or indirectly (e.g. derived from prices).

 

Level 3 valuations at fair value are based on valuation methods using parameters for assets and liabilities that are based upon non-observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The derivative financial instruments are the only financial assets held in the Ismeca Group that are valued at fair value. In the fair value hierarchy within the meaning of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures they are to be allocated to Level 2. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or into or out of Level 3 during 2012 and 2011.

The Group engages in forward exchange and structured option transactions to hedge against exchange rate risks. The instruments are not used for speculative purposes. In 2012, no cash flow hedges were used. As at December 31, 2012 fair value hedges and option contracts (target redemption forwards) were outstanding.

The maturity of outstanding option constructs ranges from 1 week to 8 months. If the USD exchange rate is above the underlying exchange rate, there exists an obligation to buy USD monthly until the expiry date or to sell the maximum put volume.

The change in the fair values for the forward exchange and options transactions resulted at year-end 2012 in an unrealized valuation loss of TCHF 277 (previous year TCHF 1’796). Total gains on financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss amounted to TCHF 408 during the period (2011: loss of TCHF 1’048).

Report of the Independent Auditor

To the Board of Directors of

Ismeca Semiconductor Holding SA

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ismeca Semiconductor Holding SA and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the IASB; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ismeca Semiconductor Holding SA and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the IASB.
