Asia Cement Corporation

Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Asia Cement Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Asia Cement Corporation (the “Corporation”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter section), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters identified in the Corporation’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 are described as follows:

Estimated Impairment of Trade Receivables in the Concrete Segment in Subsidiaries Accounted for Using the Equity Method in Mainland China

With the PRC government's property market tightening regulations, the property development sector, of which the indirect and ultimate customers in the concrete segment of the Corporation's subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method in mainland China were a part, faced massive debt and cash flow issues. The management of the Corporation estimates the amount of lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) of trade receivables based on a provision matrix through grouping of various debtors that have common risk characteristics, after considering the aging and repayment history of the respective trade receivables. Estimated loss rates are based on historical

  • 1 -

observed default rates over the expected life of the debtors and are adjusted for forward-looking information. Because the ECLs on the respective trade receivables involve significant judgments and uncertainties, we considered the estimated impairment of trade receivables in the concrete segment in subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method in mainland China as one of the key audit matters.

The corresponding audit procedures that we performed for the estimated impairment of the above trade receivables were as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the relevant key controls over the assessment and monitoring of credit risks, and determination of allowance for ECLs.

  2. We evaluated the model used by management in determining the allowance for ECLs.

  3. We tested the integrity of information used by management to develop the provision matrix, including the aging analysis of trade receivables in the concrete segment of subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method in mainland China as of balance sheet date, on a sample basis, by comparing individual items in the analysis with the relevant sales invoices and other supporting documents.

  4. We challenged management’s basis and judgment in determining the credit loss allowance on trade receivables in the concrete segment of subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method in mainland China as of the balance sheet date, including their identification and provision of credit-impaired trade receivables, the reasonableness of management’s grouping of the remaining trade debtors into different categories in the provision matrix, and the basis of estimated loss rates applied in each category in the provision matrix (with reference to historical default rates and forward-looking information).

  5. We obtained confirmations and evidence of subsequent settlements on a sample basis for trade receivable balances in the concrete segment of subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method in mainland China.

Fair Value Measurement of Investment Properties

The Corporation’s investment properties are subsequently measured using the fair value model and valued by an independent qualified professional appraiser, a member of the ROC certified real estate appraisers; refer to Notes 5 and 15 to the financial statements for the details. Because the valuation of investment properties involves significant judgments and uncertainties, we considered the fair value measurement of investment properties as one of the key audit matters.

The corresponding audit procedures that we performed for the fair value measurement of investment properties were as follows:

  1. We assessed the professional competence and independence of the appraiser engaged by management and obtained an understanding of the appraiser’s scope of work and process of engagement to confirm that no circumstances affect the appraiser’s independence and limit the scope of his work.

  2. We obtained an understanding of and assessed the reasonableness of management’s assumptions and methods used in the valuation.

  3. We sample-tested items from management’s supporting documents to verify the valuation process used by management and recalculated the fair value of investment properties to assess the reasonableness of management’s calculation.

Other Matter

The financial statements of China Shanshui Cement Group Limited (CSCGL) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, an associate accounted for using the equity method, were audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the accompanying financial statements for CSCGL, is based solely on the

  • 2 -

reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the aggregate carrying amount of the equity-method investments in CSCGL was NT$16,266,309 thousand and NT$14,380,091 thousand, respectively, representing 7.1% and 6.7%, respectively, of the total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the share of profit or loss of CSCGL was NT$1,954,372 thousand and NT$2,146,187 thousand, respectively, representing 12.5% and 13.9%, respectively, of the profit before income tax.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Corporation’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 3 -

  6. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  7. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Corporation to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Tai, Xin Wei and Chen, Pei De.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

ASIA CEMENT CORPORATION

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Asia Cement Corporation (the “Corporation”) was incorporated in March 1957. It manufactures and sells cement, clinker, cement-related products and ready-mixed concrete, and engages in leasing activities. The Corporation is also required to undertake reforestation activities in designated areas. The Corporation’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since June 1962.

In June 1992 and September 1996, certain shares of the Corporation were sold by Far Eastern New Century Corporation (FENC) in the form of global depositary shares (GDSs). Such GDSs have been quoted through the SEAQ system of the London Stock Exchange and traded through the portal system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

On March 25, 2021, in order to reduce the related management costs, the Corporation’s board of directors resolved to terminate the GDSs program and to delist from the London Stock Exchange.

The financial statements are presented in the Corporation’s functional currency, the New Taiwan dollar.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • b. Basis of preparation

The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments, investment properties which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit assets which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • 2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.

When preparing its parent company only financial statements, the Corporation used equity method to account for its investment in subsidiaries and associates. In order for the amounts of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same as the amounts attributable to the owner of the Corporation in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatment between parent company only basis and consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for using the equity method, share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates, share of other comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries and associates and related equity items, as appropriate, in the parent company only financial statements.

The properties were leased out to subsidiaries for their operations, and are classified as property plant and equipment in the consolidated financial statements. Under IFRSs, these properties are classified as investment properties in parent company only financial statements. In 2014, the subsequent fair value model.

  • 13 -

In order for the amounts of the net profit for the year and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same with the amounts attributable to the owners of the Corporation in its consolidated financial statements, the investment properties leased out to entities were measured at fair value model with the decrease in total equity and net profit for the year recorded in “investments accounted for using the equity method” and “share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates”.

  • c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  • 1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • 3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

  • 1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the parent company only financial statements are authorized for issue; and

  • 3) Liabilities for which the Corporation does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

  • d. Foreign currencies

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Corporation’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

  • 14 -

For the purpose of presenting the parent company only financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Corporation’s foreign operations (including subsidiaries and associates in other countries or those that use currencies which are different from the currency of the Corporation) are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

e. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

f. Investment in subsidiaries

The Corporation uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries.

A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Corporation.

Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Corporation’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) of the subsidiary. The Corporation also recognizes the changes in the Corporation’s share of equity of subsidiaries.

Changes in the Corporation’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the Corporation losing control of the subsidiary are equity transactions. The Corporation recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Corporation’s share of net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Corporation’s share of net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Corporation assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the entire financial statements of the invested company. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Corporation recognizes the reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.

When the Corporation loses control of a subsidiary, it recognizes the investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between the fair value of the retained investment plus any consideration received and the carrying amount of the previous investment at the date when control is lost is recognized as a gain or loss in profit or loss. Besides, the Corporation accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Corporation had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

  • 15 -

Profits or losses resulting from downstream transactions are eliminated in full only in the parent company only financial statements. Profits and losses resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries are recognized only in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Corporation.

  • g. Investment in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Corporation has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The Corporation uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates.

Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Corporation’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Corporation also recognizes the changes in the Corporation’s share of equity of associates.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Corporation’s share of net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Corporation’s share of net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

When the Corporation subscribes for additional new shares of an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Corporation’s proportionate interest in the associate. The Corporation records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates accounted for using the equity method. If the Corporation’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

The entire carrying amount of an investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is deducted from the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When the Corporation transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent of unrelated parties’ interests in the associate.

The Corporation’s share of comprehensive income of associates is recognized using the treasury share method if there are reciprocal holdings between investors and investees. The reciprocally held shares of the Corporation are treated as treasury shares and are deducted from the outstanding shares in computing basic earnings per share.

  • h. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

  • 16 -

Properties in the course of construction are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.

Except for freehold land which is not depreciated, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the fixed-percentage-on-declining-balance method or the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

  • i. Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.

Freehold investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs, and are subsequently measured using the fair value model. Changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

For a transfer from property, plant and equipment to investment property at the end of owner-occupation, any difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the property at the date of transfer is recognized in other comprehensive income.

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.

  • j. Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

  • k. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Corporation reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Corporation estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

  • 17 -

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • l. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Corporation becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to an acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

  • 1) Measurement category

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

a) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such financial assets are mandatorily classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any dividends or interest earned on such financial assets are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 29.

  • b) Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

  • i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial asset in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • ii. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, notes receivable, other receivables and debt instruments at amortized cost, are measured at amortized cost, which is the gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 18 -

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

Cash equivalents include time deposits, bonds sold under repurchase agreements and commercial papers with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Corporation may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, they will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Corporation’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

  • 2) Impairment of financial assets

The Corporation recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) as well as finance lease receivables at the end of each reporting period.

The Corporation always recognizes lifetime ECLs for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments and finance lease receivables, the Corporation recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Corporation measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.

ECLs reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

Impairment loss on all financial instruments is recognized with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account.

  • 3) Derecognition of financial assets

The Corporation 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 party.

  • 19 -

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

  • 1) Subsequent measurement

Except the following situation, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method:

Financial liabilities held for trading are stated at fair value, and any interest paid on such financial liabilities is recognized in finance costs; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial liabilities are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 29.

  • 2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

Convertible bonds

The component parts of convertible bonds issued by the Corporation are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or upon the instrument’s maturity date. Any embedded derivative liability is measured at fair value.

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised; in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premiums. When the conversion option remains unexercised at maturity, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premiums.

Transaction costs that relate to the issuance of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity.

Derivative financial instruments

The Corporation enters into cross-currency swap contracts to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks.

  • 20 -

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts that is within the scope of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets that is within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g. financial liabilities) are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative; their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts; and the mixed contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

m. Provisions

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows

n. Revenue recognition

The Corporation identifies the contract with the customers, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue from the sale of goods mainly comes from sales of cement and clinker; sales are recognized as revenue when the goods are delivered to customers’ specified locations, which is the time the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently. The advance receipts before the delivery of goods are recognized as contract liabilities and reclassified to revenue after the goods are transferred to the customers.

o. Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Corporation assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

For a contract that contains a lease component and non-lease components, the Corporation allocates the consideration in the contract to each component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price and accounts for each component separately.

1) The Corporation as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Under finance leases, the lease payments comprise fixed payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate, and residual value guarantees. The net investment in a lease is measured at (a) the present value of the sum of the lease payments receivable by a lessor and any unguaranteed residual value accrued to the lessor plus (b) initial direct costs and is presented as a finance lease receivable. Finance lease income is allocated to the relevant accounting periods so as to reflect a constant, periodic rate of return on the Corporation’s net investment outstanding in respect of leases.

  • 21 -

Lease payments from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as income in the periods in which they are incurred.

When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Corporation assesses the classification of each element separately as a finance or an operating lease based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the lessee. The lease payments are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of a contract. If the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, each element is accounted for separately in accordance with its lease classification. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases; in which case, the entire lease is classified as an operating lease.

2) The Corporation as lessee

The Corporation recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments and variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Corporation uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Corporation remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Corporation accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by (a) decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset of lease modifications that decreased the scope of the lease, and recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss on the partial or full termination of the lease; (b) making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset of all other lease modifications. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.

  • 22 -

The Corporation negotiates with the lessor for rent concessions as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 to change the lease payments originally due by June 30, 2022, that results in the revised consideration for the lease substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change. There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions. The Corporation elects to apply the practical expedient to all of these rent concessions and, therefore, does not assess whether the rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, the Corporation recognizes the reduction in lease payment in profit or loss as a deduction of expenses of variable lease payments, in the period in which the events or conditions that trigger the concession occur, and makes a corresponding adjustment to the lease liability.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

p. Employee benefits

1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.

2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on settlements) and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the Corporation’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

3) Termination benefits

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

q. Taxation

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

1) Current tax

Income tax payable (refundable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.

According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

  • 23 -

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

  • 2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the parent company only financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Corporation is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Corporation expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. If investment properties measured using the fair value model are non-depreciable assets, or are held under a business model whose objective is not to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the assets over time, the carrying amounts of such assets are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale.

  • 3) Current tax and deferred tax for the year

Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the current tax and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income, respectively.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Corporation’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

  • 24 -

The Corporation considers the recent development of the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan and its economic environment implications when making its critical accounting estimates in cash flow projections, growth rate, discount rate, profitability, etc. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Fair value measurements and valuation process of investment properties

If the Corporation’s investment properties measured at fair value have no quoted prices in active markets, the Corporation determines whether to engage third party qualified appraisers for the application of appropriate valuation techniques for fair value measurements in accordance with related regulations or professional standards. The engaged appraisers measure the fair value of investment properties through the income approach and the land development analysis approach, and would determine appropriate inputs by reference to the existing lease contract, rentals of similar properties in the vicinity of the Corporation’s investment properties, domestic macroeconomic prospects, local land use, and market rates. If the actual changes of inputs in the future differ from expectations, the fair value might vary accordingly.

Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of investment properties is disclosed in Note 15.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Corporation’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

Trade Receivables - Sales

The average credit period of receivables from sales of goods was 30-150 days. Specific customers with good credit records were given longer credit period occasionally.

The Corporation reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. The Corporation obtains sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The Corporation measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by reference to the past default records of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtor operates and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of economic conditions at the reporting date.

The Corporation writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Corporation continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The investment properties for lease were as follows:

  • a. On January 1, 1998, the Corporation granted FEDSDL the right to construct a shopping center on a parcel of land it owned with an area of 6,976 square meters located in Lin-Ya, Kaohsiung. As consideration for the right to construct and the continued use of the land for fifty years, FEDSDL shall pay the following: (a) land use right in the amount of $1,073,000 thousand and (b) annual rental at 5% of the reference price of such land announced by the local government. The proceeds of the land use rights were recorded as long-term deferred revenue, and recognized as rental revenue on a periodic basis.

  • b. The Corporation and Far Eastern Resources Development Co. (FERD) equally owned a parcel of land located at Tun Hwa South Road, Taipei City. Under an agreement entered into with YDC, the Corporation and FERD had agreed on the following: (a) construction of a twin tower building (Taipei Metro) by YDC on the said land, (b) continued use of the land without additional compensation for 30 years starting from the date of the completion of the building. In view of the foregoing agreement, the Corporation recorded the 12% of the building construction cost or $1,402,753 thousand as building acquired and as long-term deferred revenue, and recognized as revenue on a periodic basis.

  • c. Others mainly included the following:

  • 1) Land in Shu-Lin - leased to YLPPC;

  • 2) Land in Taichung Guan-Lien Industrial Zone - leased to NHC;

  • 3) Land and buildings in Lin-Ko, Taichung and Hsi-Chih - leased to YTRMC;

  • 4) Asia-Cement Building - leased to FEDS;

  • 36 -

  • 5) Pao-Ching Building - leased to Sofiva Genomics;

  • 6) Land and building in Chayi City;

  • 7) Land and building in Hwalien - leased to YLT;

The lease terms of the abovementioned land and buildings are 1-10 years and the rents are paid monthly.

The Corporation’s undeveloped investment properties included a parcel of land located in Lin-Ya, Kaohsiung.

The fair values of investment properties were valued by independent qualified professional appraisers. According to local requirements, entities are required to have independent appraisal for the investment properties with individual carrying amount of $300 million or higher. The fair values of investment properties as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were determined by qualified professional appraisers, Mr. Chang from Savills (Taiwan) Limited and Mr. Tsai and Ms. Hu from DTZ real estate appraisers firm on February 18, 2022 and March 2, 2021, respectively.

The fair value of investment properties was estimated using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The movements in the fair value were as follows:

The fair value measurement of undeveloped land located in Lin-Ya, Kaohsiung, was measured by land development analysis. The increase in estimated total selling price, the increase in rate of return, or the decrease in overall capital interest rate would result in an increase in the fair value. The significant assumptions used were as follows:

The total selling price is estimated on the basis of the most effective use of the land or property available for sale after development is completed, taking into account the related regulations, domestic macroeconomic prospects, local land use, and market rates.

The fair value of investment properties, except for undeveloped land, was measured using the income approach. The significant assumptions used were stated below. The increase in estimated future net cash inflows, or the decrease in discount rates would result in increase in the fair value.

The above fair value measurement has taken into consideration the uncertainty on the volatility in the markets due to the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The market rentals in the area where the investment property is located were between $1 thousand and $5 thousand per ping (i.e., per 3.3 square meters).

The rental income generated for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $424,301 thousand and $401,040 thousand, respectively.

The expected future cash inflows to be generated by investment properties include rental income, interest income on rental deposits and disposal value. The rental income was extrapolated using the Group’s current rental contract, regional and market quotation, taking into account the annual rental growth rate; the income analysis covers a 10-year period, the interest income on rental deposits was extrapolated using the interest rate for one-year central bank-announced demand deposit interest rate; the disposal value was determined using the direct capitalization method under the income approach. The expected future cash outflows to be incurred by investment properties include expenditure such as land value taxes, house taxes, insurance premium, management costs, maintenance costs and others. These expenditures were extrapolated on the basis of the current level of expenditure, taking into account the future adjustment to the government-announced land value, and the tax rate promulgated under the House Tax Act.

The discount rate was determined by reference to the interest rate for two-year time deposits as posted by Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd., plus 0.75%, or estimated income capitalization rate, whichever is higher, as well as any asset-specific risk premiums. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the risk premiums were 0.38%-2.80% and 0.39%-2.80%, respectively.

Refer to Note 31 for the carrying amount of investment properties pledged by the Corporation as collaterals for borrowings.

On March 23, 2017, the Corporation acquired 155 thousand issued shares of China Shanshui Investment Company Limited (CSI) in the amount of HK$577,662 thousand from six shareholders of CSI under a share purchase agreement. The Corporation already obtained the physical share certificates of the acquired shares of CSI. Pursuant to the Articles of Association of CSI, the share ownership can only be recorded on the register of shareholders if the board of directors of CSI approves the share transfer. The Corporation has submitted all necessary documents to CSI for registration of the share transfer, among which the registration of the shares of CSI acquired from two of the six shareholders were completed and the related prepaid investments in the balance sheets were therefore reclassified to financial assets at FVTOCI - non-current.

In addition, Chan Hongqing, a PRC individual, claimed that the shares of CSI which the Corporation acquired from the other four shareholders were pledged as collaterals under a loan contract signed with him on August 17, 2015 and thus applied for arbitration with China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in Beijing. Later, according to an order of the High Court of Hong Kong announced on June 27, 2017, it requested the appointment of interim receivers in respect of the shares of CSI held by the four shareholders until the end of the arbitral proceedings. On May 17, 2018, the High Court of Hong Kong set aside the order before the final award of the arbitration. The arbitral proceeding was therefore withdrawn on June 12, 2018.

On October 2, 2018, Chan Hongqing applied to the High Court of Hong Kong for interlocutory relief in another proceedings against the Corporation to prohibit the Corporation and the four CSI shareholders from transferring and registering their CSI shares. The application for interlocutory relief was heard in the High Court of Hong Kong on April 3, 2019 and was dismissed by the High Court of Hong Kong on March 16, 2021. In view of this order, the registration of share transfer by CSI’s board of directors will no longer be restricted to the above-mentioned application for interlocutory relief. On March 30, 2021, Chan Hongqing filed an appeal against the order made by the High Court of Hong Kong. However, the appeal had been rejected by the High Court of Hong Kong on September 23, 2020. Later, Chan Hongqing filed another appeal to Court of Appeal of Hong Kong on October 7, 2020. Both parties have submitted outlines of their arguments to the court. As of the date of the issue of consolidated financial statements, the Court of Appeal of Hong Kong has not yet made a judgment on the appeal.

21. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

The Corporation adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at specified percentage of monthly salaries and wages.

b. Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Corporation in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Corporation contributes amounts equal to 8% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Corporation assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Corporation is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the “Bureau”); the Corporation has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Corporation’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Corporation is exposed to the following risks:

  • 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

  • 2) Interest risk: A decrease in the corporate bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.

  • 3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

  • 44 -

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

Discount rate
Expected rate of salary increase
**December 31 **
2021
2020
0.60%
0.75%
2.00%
2.00%

If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

Discount rate
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease
Expected rate of salary increase/decrease
1% increase
1% decrease

  • 3) Such capital surplus from the effect of changes in associate’s ownership interest in its subsidiary that resulted from equity transactions other than actual acquisition and disposal may be used to offset a deficit under Article 239-1 of Company Act.

c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), apart from paying all its income taxes in the case where there are net incomes at the end of the year, the Corporation shall make up for accumulated losses in past years. Where there is still balance, the Corporation shall set aside 10% of the sum of said profit in balance and the amount of profit (or loss) items adjusted to the current year’s undistributed earnings other than the said profit as legal reserve and a special reserve as required by law. Subject to certain business conditions under which the Corporation may retain a portion of the remaining balance, the Corporation may distribute to the shareholders the remainder together with undistributed profits from previous years in proportion to the number of the shares held by each shareholder as shareholders’ dividend. However, in the case of increase in the Corporation’s share capital, the shareholders’ dividend to be distributed to the shareholders of increased shares for the year shall be decided by the shareholders’ meeting. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors, refer to employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors in Note 24(f).

The distribution of shareholders’ dividend shall take into consideration the changes in the outlook of the Corporation’s businesses, the lifespan of the various products or services that have an impact on future capital needs and taxation. Shareholders’ dividend shall be distributed with the aim of maintaining stable shareholders’ dividend distributions. Save for the purposes of improving the financial structure, reinvestments, production expansion or other capital expenditures in which capital is required, when distributing shareholders’ dividend, the dividend payout ratio each fiscal year shall be no less than 50% of the final surplus which is the sum of after-tax profit of the fiscal year to withhold previous loss, if any, legal reserve and special reserve as required by law; the cash dividend shall not be less than 10% of the total shareholders’ dividend distributed in the same year.

These appropriations shall be resolved by the shareholders in the following year and given effect to in the financial statements of that year.

The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Corporation has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Corporation’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Pursuant to existing regulations, the Corporation is required to set aside an additional special reserve equivalent to the net debit balance of the other equity interests and the net increase arising from the fair value measurement of investment properties. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses, the cumulative net increases in fair value decrease or on disposal of investment properties, and is thereafter distributed.

Note: Due to the conversion of the Corporation’s 3[rd] Euro convertible bond into ordinary shares, the number of outstanding ordinary shares increased accordingly. Therefore, the cash dividend was adjusted to NT$3.46283787 per ordinary share.

The appropriation of earnings for 2021 had been proposed by the Corporation’s board of directors on March 8, 2022. The proposed appropriation of earnings and dividend per share were as follows:

Assuming that the shares reciprocally held by associates were not treated as treasury shares and not deducted from the weighted average number of shares outstanding, the basic EPS would be NT$4.25 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The appropriations of earnings for 2021 are subject to the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting to be held on June 29, 2022.

  • d. Special reserve recognized at the date of transition

In the first-time adoption of IFRSs, the amounts of adjusted unrealized revaluation increments, cumulative translation adjustments and unappropriated earnings recognized from the investment properties of associates which used fair value as deemed cost were $10,715,430 thousand, $3,163,258 thousand and $52,494 thousand, respectively; the Corporation appropriated the amounts to special reserve.

In addition, on the initial application of the fair value model to investment properties, the Corporation appropriated to special reserve the amount of the net increase in fair value of investment properties and transferred it to retained earnings. Additional special reserve should be appropriated for subsequent net increases in fair value. The amount appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the cumulative net increases in fair value decrease or on the disposal of investment properties.

The Corporation and its associates used and disposed of some of the related assets; accordingly, special reserve reversed to unappropriated earnings amounted to $548,152 thousand as of December 31, 2021.

When an entity pays employee compensation that may be settled in shares or cash at the entity’s option, the entity shall presume that the employee compensation will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares shall be included in diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the compensation by the closing price of the shares at the balance sheet date. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

27. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES - WITHOUT LOSS OF CONTROL

From March to December 2021 and from April to December 2020, the Corporation acquired additional non-controlling interests in subsidiaries, and increased its continuing interest in these subsidiaries; refer to Note 12 for the details.

In September 2020, the Corporation acquired 227,284 thousand ordinary shares of subsidiary CHP in the amount of $5,369,000 thousand from J-POWER INVESTMENT NETHERLANDS B.V. under a share purchase agreement. The transaction has been completed in November 2020 and, thus, increased the Corporation’s interest in CHP to 99.69%.

The above transactions were accounted for as equity transactions, since it did not have effect on the Corporation’s control over these subsidiaries; refer to Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

28. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Corporation manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Corporation consists of net debt (borrowings offset by cash and cash equivalents) and equity of the Corporation (comprising issued capital, reserves, retained earnings, other equity).

The Corporation is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Key management personnel of the Corporation review the capital structure on an annual basis. As part of this review, the key management personnel consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the key management personnel, in order to balance the overall capital structure, the Corporation may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders and the amount of new debt issued or existing debt redeemed.

  • 3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement

    • a) The fair values of convertible bond options are determined using the information available from the counterparty for valuation based on the option pricing model. The option pricing model incorporates the present value techniques and reflects both the time value and the intrinsic value of options.

    • b) The fair value of cross currency swap contracts is determined using the information available from the counterparty for valuation. The counterparty measures the fair value of a cross currency swap contracts using the discounted cash flows model. Future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates at balance sheet dates and contract forward rates and discounted at rates that reflect the credit risk of various counterparties.

    • c) The fair values of unlisted shares are determined by using the asset approach or the market approach. In the asset approach, the fair values are estimated by using the net asset value measured at fair value based on the unlisted investees’ latest financial statements, while taking into account the liquidity discount and non-controlling interest discount. In the market approach, the fair values are estimated based on the market transaction prices of comparable companies with similar industrial and business characteristics and liquidity discount are considered.

  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Corporation’s major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, trade receivables, trade payables, bonds payable, borrowings and lease liabilities. The Corporation’s corporate treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Corporation through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Corporation mitigates the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Corporation’s policies approved by the board of directors, which provides written principles on foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis.

1) Market risk

The Corporation’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below). The Corporation enters into cross-currency swap contracts to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency risk and interest risk.

a) Foreign currency risk

The Corporation have foreign currency sales and purchases and foreign currency financing activities, which expose the Corporation to foreign currency risk.

The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities and derivatives exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 34.

Sensitivity analysis

The Corporation was mainly exposed to the RMB and USD.

  • 61 -

The following table details the Corporation’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the functional currency against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate of 5% is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items less notional amounts of cross-currency swap. The analysis assumed a 5% change in foreign currency rates at the end of the reporting period. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit assuming the New Taiwan dollars weakened by 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% strengthening of New Taiwan dollars against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances shown below would be negative.

b) Interest rate risk

The Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk because the Corporation borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Corporation by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings and using cross-currency swap contracts.

The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to changes in interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

Fair value interest rate risk

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below is based on the Corporation’s exposure to changes in interest rates of non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period.

If interest rates had been 0.01% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Corporation’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would have decreased/increased by $6 thousand and $658 thousand, respectively, mainly due to the Corporation’s exposure to changes in interest rates of its variable-rate bank borrowings and bank deposits.

  • 62 -

c) Other price risk

The Corporation is exposed to price risk through its investments in listed equity securities and beneficiary certificates of funds.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below is based on the exposure to investment position price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If investment position prices had been 1% higher/lower, pre-tax profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by $19,058 thousand and $18,447 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by $70,723 thousand and $70,763 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Corporation. As at the end of the reporting period, the Corporation’s maximum exposure to credit risk which would cause a financial loss to the Corporation due to the failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation and financial guarantees provided by the Corporation is equal to the carrying amount of the financial assets as stated in the balance sheets. The Corporation adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Corporation only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. The Corporation uses publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Corporation’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored.

The counterparties in trade receivables consist of a large number of clients in different industries and regions. The Corporation evaluates clients’ financial condition continuously.

Credit risk represents the potential negative impact on the financial assets of the Corporation if counterparties or third parties breach the contracts. The Corporation evaluates credit risk exposure on contracts with positive carrying amounts. The Corporation evaluated the credit risk exposure as immaterial because all counterparties are reputable financial institutions and companies with good credit ratings.

3) Liquidity risk

The Corporation manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Corporation’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

32. SIGNIFICANT CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND UNRECOGNIZED COMMITMENTS

As of December 31, 2021, the Corporation had the following significant commitments and contingencies:

  • a. Unused letters of credit of US$1,299 thousand and RMB1,186 thousand.

  • b. Guarantee notes issued for related parties: refer to Table 2.

  • c. On December 4, 2015 and December 17, 2015, CSCGL, China Shanshui Cement Group (Hong Kong) Company Limited and China Pioneer Cement (Hong Kong) Company Limited (collectively referred as “Shanshui Cement Group”) commenced legal proceedings against the former directors of CSCGL in respect of the alleged dishonest breaches of fiduciary duty or alleged conspiracy to cause damages to CSCGL during their tenures. The proceedings arose from disputes between CSCGL’s present and former board of directors over the changes in management and the takeover of the headquarters of CSCGL. On April 7, 2016, the Corporation was added as the 10th defendant. The Corporation engaged lawyers to take legal actions in connection with the unqualified claim to defend its reputation and interests. The case was tried by the High Court of Hong Kong from April 19 to June 17, 2021, and the case is currently waiting for a judgment from the High Court of Hong Kong. As of the auditors’ review report date, the Corporation considered that it is premature to evaluate at this stage the possible outcome of the proceedings given that no judgment has been handed down by the court and therefore, did not recognize any contingent liabilities.

  • d. Tianrui Group Company Limited and Tianrui (International) Holding Company Limited (collectively referred as “Tianrui Group”), CSI and former directors of CSCGL, in breach of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and share Buy-backs issued by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the fiduciary duties, have engaged in unfair prejudicial conducts in favor of Tianrui directly and indirectly through CSCGL which are detrimental to the interests of the shareholders including the Corporation. The Corporation filed a writ of summons to the High Court of Hong Kong in June 2017 and has been seeking legal advice in relation to the legal proceedings. As the respondents’ applications to strike out the petition for technical reasons, the Corporation amended the applications accordingly. As of the auditors’ report date, no further decision has been rendered yet.

  • e. On August 30, 2018, Tianrui (International) Holding Company Limited (“Tianrui”) presented a petition to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the “Grand Court”) seeking to wind up CSCGL, and Tianrui further filed an application for the appointment of joint provisional liquidators (“JPLs”) over CSCGL, which was accepted by the Grand Court on September 4, 2018. On August 12, 2019, CSCGL had made applications to the Grand Court for the above-mentioned winding-up petition to be struck out and/or stayed. However, the Grand Court dismissed CSCGL’s applications according to the announcement dated April 7, 2020 at the news website of the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited. Pursuant to the Grand Court’s decision, the winding up petition filed by Tianrui is considered a dispute between CSCGL’s shareholders and thus needs to be amended. The amendments shall include but are not limited to adding the Corporation as a defendant. Later, Tianrui filed an application with the Grand Court to amend its winding-up petition, and the Corporation was added as a defendant in the petition. By an order of the Grand Court announced on January 27, 2021, the Grand Court granted Tianrui’s amendments to the winding-up petition against CSCGL and added the Corporation as a defendant. On March 19, 2021, the Corporation received the legal documents from Tianrui and has appointed legal counsel in relation to the false accusation in order to preserve the Corporation’s reputation and interests. Since no further verdict has been rendered yet, the Corporation considered that it is premature to evaluate at this stage the possible outcome of the proceedings. Therefore, the Corporation assessed that the winding-up petition did not have any material impact on its investments in CSCGL.
