Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and Independent Auditors’ Report

DECLARATION OF CONSOLIDATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AFFILIATES

The companies required to be included in the consolidated financial statements of affiliates in accordance with the “Criteria Governing Preparation of Affiliation Reports, Consolidated Business Reports and Consolidated Financial Statements of Affiliated Enterprises” for the year ended December 31, 2018 are all the same as the companies required to be included in the consolidated financial statements of parent and subsidiary companies as provided in International Financial Reporting Standard 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Relevant information that should be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of affiliates has all been disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of parent and subsidiary companies. Hence, we did not prepare a separate set of consolidated financial statements of affiliates.

Very truly yours,

ASIA CEMENT CORPORATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Asia Cement Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Asia Cement Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to Other Matter section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:

Estimated Impairment of Trade Receivables

The provision for impairment of trade receivables is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting period. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Refer to Notes 5 and 13. Because the key assumptions and inputs used for measuring expected credit losses on trade receivables represent an area of significant judgement and uncertainty, we considered the estimated impairment of trade receivables as one of the key audit matters.

The corresponding audit procedures for estimated impairment of trade receivables are as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding and performed tests on management’s estimation of impairment of trade receivables and of the design and execution of relevant internal controls.

  2. We evaluated the reasonableness of allowance for impairment loss by testing the aging of trade receivables and by quantifying the potential risk on overdue balances at the balance sheet date.

  3. We tested the recoverability of receivables by vouching cash receipts after the balance sheet date.

  4. For amounts that were past due and not yet recovered, we evaluated the adequacy of allowance for impairment loss by understanding the customers’ historical payment performance, any collateral pledged, and other abilities to repay the bills.

Fair Value Measurement of Investment Properties

The Group’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 20. Because the valuation of investment properties represents an area of significant judgement and uncertainty, we considered the fair value measurement of investment properties as one of the key audit matters.

The corresponding audit procedures for fair value measurement of investment properties are as follows:

  1. We assessed the competencies and independence of the appraiser engaged by management and obtained an understanding of the scope of the work and the process of engagement acceptance to evaluate the risk of impairment of the appraiser’s independence and the limitation in the scope of the appraiser’s work.

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

  3. We tested samples of items from management’s supporting documents, including the reasonableness of effective gross income, expenses, and ownerships of land and buildings used in the valuation process and reperformed the calculation of the fair value of investment properties.

Emphasis of Matter

The Group’s investments in China Shanshui Cement Group Limited (CSCGL), which was previously recognized as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, became qualified for the equity method of accounting and were therefore reclassified as investments accounted for using equity method in 2018. The Group reported a provisional amount of NT$2,789,881 thousand for the goodwill arising from the above transition during the measurement period as the goodwill was included in the carrying amounts of the Group’s investment in CSCGL. The Group will engage outside specialists to provide assistance in measuring the identifiable net assets of CSCGL and the measurement will be completed within one year from the transition date. The provisional amounts will be adjusted retrospectively during the subsequent measurement period to reflect new information obtained from facts and circumstances that existed as of the transition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date. Refer to Notes 8 and 18. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Other Matter

The financial statements of CSCGL, an associate accounted for using 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 reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2018, the aggregate carrying value of the equity-method investments in CSCGL was NT$10,217,370 thousand, representing 4% of the consolidated total assets. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the share of profit or loss of CSCGL was NT$376,557 thousand, representing 2% of the consolidated income before income tax.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’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 Group 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 Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Group’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 Group’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 consolidated 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 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 audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuo, Li Wen and Fan, Yu Wei.

a) The Group elected to designate some of its investments in equity securities previously classified as FVTPL under IAS 39 as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9, because these investments are not held for trading. The retrospective adjustment resulted in an increase of NT$4,708 thousand in other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI and a decrease of NT$4,708 thousand in retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

  • 16 -

  • b) The Group elected to classify its investments in equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 as partly at FVTPL and partly at FVTOCI under IFRS 9. As a result, the related other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets was reclassified to retained earnings in the amount of NT$90,263 thousand and to other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI in the amount of NT$1,704,035 thousand.

Investments in unlisted shares previously measured at cost under IAS 39 have been designated as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9 and were remeasured at fair value. Consequently, an increase of NT$338,143 thousand was recognized in both financial assets at FVTOCI and other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI on January 1, 2018.

The Group recognized impairment loss under IAS 39 on certain investments in equity securities measured at cost and the loss was accumulated in retained earnings. Since those investments were designated as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9 and no impairment assessment is required, an adjustment was made that resulted in a decrease of NT$860,641 thousand in other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI and an increase of NT$860,641 thousand in retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

  • c) Mutual funds previously classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 were classified mandatorily as at FVTPL under IFRS 9, because the contractual cash flows were not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and they were not equity instruments. The retrospective adjustment resulted in a decrease of NT$51,696 thousand in other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets and an increase of NT$51,696 thousand in retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

  • d) Debt investments previously classified as available‑for‑sale financial assets under IAS 39 were classified as at FVTPL under IFRS 9, because on January 1, 2018, the contractual cash flows were not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. As a result of retrospective application, the related adjustments comprised an increase in other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on available‑for‑sale financial assets of NT$82,434 thousand and a decrease in retained earnings of NT$82,434 thousand on January 1, 2018.

  • 2) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and related amendments

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers and supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Refer to Note 4 for related accounting policies.

  • Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

Note 2: The FSC permits the election for early adoption of the amendments starting from 2018.

  • Note 3: The Group shall apply these amendments to plan amendments, curtailments or settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2019.

  • 1) IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17, IFRIC 4 and a number of related interpretations.

Definition of a lease

Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will elect to apply IFRS 16 only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019 and identified as lease contracts or contracts that contain a lease under IFRS 16. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will not be reassessed and will be accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.

  • 18 -

The Group as lessee

Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will recognize on the consolidated balance sheets right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases except low-value and short-term leases whose payments will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group will present the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities will be classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion will be classified within operating activities. Prepaid lease payments for land use rights of land located in mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam are recognized as prepayments for leases. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Group will apply IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized on January 1, 2019. Comparative information will not be restated.

Lease liabilities for leases currently classified as operating leases under IAS 17 will be recognized on January 1, 2019. Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities. The Group will apply IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.

The Group expects to apply the following practical expedients:

  • a) The Group will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.

  • b) The Group will use hindsight, such as in determining lease terms, to measure lease liabilities.

The Group as lessor

The Group will not make any adjustments to leases in which it is the lessor and will account for those leases under IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019.

  • 2) IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”

IFRIC 23 clarifies that when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, the Group should assume that the taxation authority will have full knowledge of all related information when making related examinations. If the Group concludes that it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Group should determine the taxable profit, tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatments used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. If it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Group should make estimates using either the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment, depending on which method the Group expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. The Group has to reassess its judgments and estimates if facts and circumstances change.

Except for the above impacts, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group assessed that the application of the aforementioned amendments would not have any material impact on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

  • 20 -

b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated 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 (liabilities) 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.

Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include:

  • a. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • b. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • c. 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:

  • a. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • b. 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 consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and

  • c. Liabilities for which the Group 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.

Ya Li Precast and Prestressed Concrete Industries Corp., Asia Engineering Enterprise Corp. and Ya Li Precast Concrete India Pvt. Ltd. engage in construction related businesses, which have operating cycles of over one year. The assets and liabilities of the aforementioned companies related to the construction contracts are classified as current or non-current according to the length of their operating cycles.

Basis of Consolidation

Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Corporation and the entities controlled by the Corporation (i.e. its subsidiaries).

  • 21 -

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Corporation.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Corporation and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Group and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Corporation.

Refer to Note 17, Tables 7 and 8 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).

Foreign Currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’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.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Group (including subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and branches in other countries 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 (attributed to the owners of the Corporation and non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Corporation are reclassified to profit or loss.

  • 22 -

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 the weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Group and other parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates and joint ventures.

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

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate or a joint venture 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 Group’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.

If the measurement of the fair values of the identifiable net assets and liabilities of an associate acquired in stage is incomplete by the end of the reporting period, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted retrospectively during the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period does not exceed 1 year from the acquisition date.

When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of an associate and joint venture at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate and joint venture. The Group 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 and joint ventures accounted for using equity method. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the associate and joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture 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 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.

  • 23 -

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an associate and a joint venture. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date, and the fair value is regarded as the investment’s fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate and the joint venture attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate and the joint venture. The Group accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture on the same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the Group continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest.

When the Group transacts with its associate and joint venture, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate and joint venture are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of unrelated parties’ interests in the associate and joint venture.

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

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

Depreciation 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.

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.

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.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is measured at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

  • 24 -

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as “cash-generating units”) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit is tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then pro rata to the other assets of the unit based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. Any impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

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.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

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.

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible 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 Group 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.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

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.

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 for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Financial Instruments

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

  • 25 -

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.

  • a. Measurement category

2018

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

  • 1) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial asset is classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is mandatorily classified or it is designated 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, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 37.

  • 2) Financial assets at amortized cost

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

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

  • b) 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, 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.

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.

  • 26 -

  • 3) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Group 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 Group’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

2017

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when such financial assets are held for trading.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividends or interest earned on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 37.

  • 2) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 37.

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amounts of available-for-sale monetary financial assets (relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments) are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when such investments are disposed of or are determined to be impaired.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

Available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and are presented in a separate line item as financial assets measured at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets can be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between carrying amount and fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income on financial assets. Any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss.

  • 27 -

  • 3) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables and debt investments with no active market) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

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

  • b. Impairment of financial assets

2018

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

The Group’s policy is to always recognize allowance for lifetime ECL on trade receivables. For all other financial instruments and lease receivables, the Group will recognize lifetime ECL when there is 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 Group will measure the allowance for loss on that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

ECL is the weighted average of credit losses estimated by using assigned levels of risks of defaults occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit loss that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible to occur within 12 months after the reporting date.

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

2017

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when 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 financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. The amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference 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. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

For any available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

  • 28 -

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss is not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. In respect of available-for-sale debt securities, impairment loss is subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

For financial assets that are measured at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of 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 except for uncollectible trade receivables that are written off against the allowance account.

c. 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 party.

Before 2018, on derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. Starting from 2018, 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 a debt instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and 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

  • a. Subsequent measurement

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

Financial liabilities are held for trading and are stated at fair value, with any gain or loss arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any interest or dividends paid on the financial liability. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 37.

  • 29 -

  • b. 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 compound instruments (i.e. convertible bonds) issued by the Group 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 Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including cross-currency swap contracts.

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.

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.

Revenue Recognition

2018

The Group 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.

When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Group is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer; otherwise, the Group is acting as an agent. The principal recognizes revenue and costs associated with providing the goods or services at the gross amount, while an agent recognizes revenue at the net amount. When a specified good or service is a distinct good or service, the Group determines whether it is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service.

The Group is a principal if it obtains control of any one of the following:

  • a. Before the good or another asset transfers to the customer, the Group acquire the good or the control of asset from another party.

  • b. The right to a service to be performed by another party which gives the Group the ability to direct that party to provide the service to the customer on its behalf.

  • c. A good or service from another party that it then combines with other goods or services in providing a specified good or service to the customer.

Indicators to support the Group’s assessment of whether it controls a specified good or service include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • a. The Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service.

  • b. The Group has inventory risk before or after the specified good or service is transferred to the customer.

  • c. The Group has discretion in establishing the price of the specified good or service.

2017

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Allowances for sales returns and liabilities for returns are recognized at the time of sale based on the seller’s reliable estimate of future returns and based on past experience and other relevant factors.

  • a. Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • 1) The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

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

  • 3) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

  • 4) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and

  • 5) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

  • 31 -

  • b. Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and effective interest rate applicable.

  • c. Construction contracts

Revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred to date relative to the estimated total contract costs. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.

Leasing

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

  • a. The Group as lessor

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognized as receivables at the amount of the Group’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

  • b. The Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Government Grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

  • 32 -

Employee Benefits

a. 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.

b. 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 Group’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.

  • c. Termination benefits

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

Taxation

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

a. Current tax

According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

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

b. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated 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 and unused loss carry forward 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, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group 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

  • 33 -

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 Group 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.

  • c. 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. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’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.

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.

Estimated Impairment of Trade Receivables

In 2018

The provision for impairment of trade receivables is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions and inputs used, see Note 13.

  • 34 -

In 2017

When there is objective evidence of impairment loss, the Group takes into consideration the estimation of future cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

Fair Value Measurements and Valuation Process

If some of the Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value have no quoted prices in active markets, the Group 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.

Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the engaged appraisers would determine appropriate inputs by referring to the analyses of the financial position and the operating results of the investees and valuation multiples of entities that are comparable with the investees of the Group’s equity instruments not quoted in active markets or market prices or rates and specific features of the Group’s derivatives or the existing lease contracts and rentals of similar properties in the vicinity of the Group’s investment properties. If the actual changes of inputs in the future differ from expectation, fair value might vary accordingly.

Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities is disclosed in Notes 8, 9, 20 and 37.

  • a. 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 Group’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes. These investments in equity instruments were classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets measured at cost under IAS 39. Refer to Notes 3, 7, 9 and 10 for information relating to their reclassification and comparative information for 2017.

  • b. The board of directors of China Shanshui Cement Group Limited (CSCGL) made an announcement on April 16, 2015 that the percentage of CSCGL’s securities held by the public has fallen below the prescribed minimum requirement of 25% according to the Main Board Listing Rules 8.08 of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (the “Exchange”). Therefore, the Exchange suspended the trading of CSCGL’s securities until the percentage of securities in public hands satisfies the minimum requirement.

On October 30, 2018, CSCGL’s shareholders resolved to restore the minimum public float requirement of 25% by issuing new shares of 974,825,988 at HK$4.2 per share. Then CSCGL resumed its trading on the Exchange effective on October 31, 2018.

The Group previously had a 22.50%-equity interest in CSCGL, which was reduced to 17.46% after the subscription mentioned above. However, the Corporation’s chief financial officer, Mrs. Wu Ling-Ling, was elected to be the executive director of CSCGL since May 23, 2018. As CSCGL already addressed the audit issues raised by the Exchange and confirmed the potential dilution of shareholding in the Group’s interests in CSCGL, the Group objectively demonstrated that it was able to exercise significant influence over CSCGL although the Group only holds less than 20% of the voting power. Accordingly, the Group’s investment in CSCGL was reclassified from financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income to investments accounted for using equity method using the closing price on the Exchange on October 31, 2018. Refer to Note 18.

The Group engaged third party qualified appraisers for fair value measurement of CSCGL’s securities as of December 31, 2017. According to the appraisal, the fair value per share was HK$2.82 as of December 31, 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the net unrealized gain on CSCGL amounted to $2,898,200 thousand. As of December 31, 2017, the accumulated net unrealized loss on CSCGL amounted to $4,447,073 thousand. The Group considered that the decline in fair value is temporary and thus recognized the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income (loss) and other equity.

Trade Receivables - Sales

In 2018

The average credit period of receivables from sales of goods was 30-90 days. Specific customers with good credit records were given longer credit period occasionally. The average credit period for customers of concrete products was 180-365 days after construction of building was finished.

The Group 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 Group has obtained sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of economic conditions at the reporting date.

The Group 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 Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

2018
Balance at January 1, 2018 $ 761,114

(14,455)
Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 884,685

In 2017

The Group applied the same credit policy in 2018 and 2017. In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, the Group considered any changes in credit quality of the trade receivables since the day credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period.

The Group transacted with vast variety of independent customers; thus, concentration of credit risk was limited.

Past due but not impaired trade receivables are trade receivables that are past due at the end of the reporting period but the Group does not recognize any allowance for impairment loss when there is no significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable. Furthermore, the Group requires collaterals or other credit enhancements to secure the receivables. The Group does not offset trade receivables from a counterparty against accounts payable to the same counterparty when the Group does not have the legal rights to offset.

Chiahui Power Corp. (CHP) entered into a 25-year purchase and sale agreement with Taiwan Power Company (TPC). According to the agreement, all electricity generated by CHP is sold to TPC. CHP started its operation on December 15, 2003. The requirements of IFRIC 4 are applicable to the agreement after the transition date to IFRSs. Because the nature of the agreement is considered as conveyance of rights to use asset, the agreement is regarded as finance lease.

Based on the Group’s assessment, the credit risk of these financial assets is not expected to be high and has not increased since initial recognition.

15. OTHER RECEIVABLES

Asia Cement (China) Holdings Corp. (ACCHC), Far Eastern Polytex (Holding) Limited (FEPHL) and FEDS Development (BVI) Ltd. (FEDSBVI) intend to invest in Yuan Ding Enterprise (Shanghai) Limited (YDES) and acquire 40%, 40% and 20% equity, respectively. Through the investment, ACCHC can join projects on land development and commercial building construction in the World Exposition district in Shanghai.

YDES was initially established with registered capital of RMB500,000 thousand by Far Eastern New Century (China) Corporation (FENCC), a wholly owned subsidiary of FEPHL. When the completion of the construction process of the commercial building reaches 25%, ACCHC will subscribe to new shares issued by YDES and ACCHC’s ultimate ownership is expected to be 40%. ACCHC has signed related investment contract with FEPHL and FEDSBVI.

As of December 31, 2018, ACCHC agreed to grant one-year interest-free credit line loan to FENCC (a subsidiary of FENC) and YDES in the amount of RMB431,900 thousand and RMB230,000 thousand, respectively. The borrower can use the loan during the loan period. As of December 31, 2018, the loan amounts drawn by FENCC and YDES were RMB431,900 thousand and RMB114,699 thousand, respectively. The aforementioned amounts were accounted for as other receivables.

The Group believes that potential benefit from the investment will exceed potential interest income if interest is charged on the loan. The Group did not consider the loan an independent transaction but took it as part of a more beneficial investment strategy. Accordingly, the borrowers were not required to pay any interest unless the development project failed to be implemented. In addition, FENC is FENCC and YDES’s ultimate parent company, so the Group believes that the borrowers have sufficient financial resources to repay the loan and thus did not take any collateral.

On February 18, 2019, YDES’s board of directors resolved to issue new shares, which increased its registered capital to RMB1,250,000 thousand. ACCHC invested RMB500,000 thousand in YDES through its subsidiary Oriental Holdings Co., Ltd. with ultimate ownership of 40%.

The Group’s investments in CSCGL, which previously being recognized as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, became qualified for the equity method of accounting and were therefore reclassified as investments accounted for using equity method in 2018. The Group reported provisional amounts of NT$2,789,881 for the goodwill arising from the above transition during the measurement period as the goodwill was included in the carrying amounts of the Group’s investment in CSCGL.

  • 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 rights 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.

  • c. SYDCCL signed a contract with Mie Business Services Co., Ltd. (Mie Business). The contract fully authorized Mie Business to manage and operate SYDCCL’s store located in area A of Guosetianxiang Second-Stage in Wenjiang District of Chengdu City, with an area of 932.49 square meters.

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 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 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, 2018 and 2017 was $342,591 thousand and $341,890 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, maintenance costs and others. This expenditure was 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, 2018 and 2017, the risk premiums were 0.225%-4.50% and 0.25%-3.00%, respectively.

The prepaid investments comprised of the following:

  • a. 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 has already obtained the physical share certificates of the acquired CSI shares. 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 shares transfer. As of December 31, 2018, the Corporation submitted all necessary documents to CSI for registration of the shares transfer.

CSCGL and its subsidiaries obtained from the High Court of Hong Kong an injunction order by way of an ex-parte application on April 11, 2017. Pursuant to the injunction order, Mi Jingtian, Zhao Liping, Li Maohuan and Yu Yuchuan are prohibited from removing any of their assets in Hong Kong, each of their assets’ value is up to RMB142 million (or its Hong Kong dollar equivalent), in particular, their shares in CSI and/or any proceeds from sales of any such CSI shares.

The Corporation is neither a plaintiff nor a defendant in the aforesaid proceedings. But, for the purpose of securing and exercising the rights and interests of the acquired shares of CSI, the Corporation provided a bank guarantee of RMB142 million to the High Court of Hong Kong according to the High Court’s ruling on April 21, 2017. On the same day, the High Court of Hong Kong lifted the injunction order on the shares of CSI acquired by the Corporation.

Chan Hongqing claimed that the CSI shares which the Corporation acquired from the abovementioned four persons were pledged as collaterals under an agreement signed on August 17, 2015 and thus applied for arbitration with China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in Beijing.

  • b. Chu Feng Power Corporation, Preparatory Office (Chu Feng), founded in October 2016, was created by DCI, the Corporation’s subsidiary, for the development of offshore wind power in Taiwan. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the accumulated prepaid investments were $131,544 thousand and $47,823 thousand, respectively. In March 2018, Chu Feng submitted an application to the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, ROC, for the offshore wind power project’s selection. However, Chu Feng did not pass the selection according to the announcement on April 30, 2018. In June 2018, Chu Feng joined the second stage auction and its bid failed again. As of the balance sheet date, the Group recognized the amounts paid within the preparatory period as other receivables or prepaid investments. The Group also recognized full amounts of provisions based on the preparatory loss of Chu Feng. Refer to Note 30.

31. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

The Corporation and the subsidiaries in the ROC 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 specific rate of monthly salaries and wages.

b. Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Corporation and domestic subsidiaries in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months or last month before retirement. The Corporation and domestic subsidiaries contribute amounts equal to 2% to 15% 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

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

Present value of defined benefit obligation

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group 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.

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(s)
Expected rate(s) of salary increase
December 31
2018
2017
0.75%-1.40%
1.00%-1.50%
2.00%-2.50%
1.00%-2.50%

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(s)
0.25% increase

0.25% decrease

Expected rate(s) of salary increase
1% increase

1% decrease

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

Under the dividend policy, where the Corporation has a profit at the end of a fiscal year, the Corporation shall first pay business income taxes based on law and then offset losses of previous years, and if there is any remaining profit, 10% of the balance shall be appropriated as legal reserve. In addition, appropriation for special reserve shall be made based on provisions of law. Any remaining amount of profit together with the accumulated undistributed earnings of the previous year shall be allocated for distribution to shareholders. However, depending on the condition of the business, part of the profit may be retained. In case of an increase in the capital of the Corporation, the shareholders’ bonus for the new shares in the year of issue shall be decided in the shareholders’ meeting. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors and supervisors, refer to employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors and supervisors in Note 34 (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.

  • 70 -

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.

The Corporation is required to appropriate to or reverse from special reserve amounts that pertains to items referred to under Rule No. 1010012865, Rule No. 1010047490 and Rule No. 1030006415 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”.

Under the Integrated Income Tax System, ROC-resident shareholders are allowed tax credit for the income tax paid by the Corporation on earnings generated in 1998 onward. Tax credits allocated to shareholders are based on the balance of Imputation Credit Account (ICA) on the dividend distribution date. However, the income tax law was amended and the imputation tax system was abolished in 2018.

The appropriation of earnings and dividends per share for 2017 and 2016 approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 26, 2018 and June 27, 2017, respectively, were as follows:

The appropriations of earnings for 2018 are subject to the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting to be held on June 24, 2019.

  • 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.

  • 71 -

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 Group 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, 2018.

In 2017, the applicable corporate income tax rate used by the Group in the ROC is 17%. However, the Income Tax Act in the ROC was amended in 2018, and the corporate income tax rate was adjusted from 17% to 20%, effective in 2018. In addition, the rate of the corporate surtax applicable to the 2018 unappropriated earnings will be reduced from 10% to 5%. The applicable tax rate used by subsidiaries in China is 25%. Tax rates used by other entities in the Group operating in other jurisdictions are based on the tax laws in those jurisdictions.

As the status of 2019 appropriation of earnings is uncertain, the potential income tax consequences of the 2018 unappropriated earnings are not reliably determinable.

The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share is the weighted average outstanding shares after subtracting the shares of the Corporation held by the associates treated as treasury stock.

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.

  • 3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 2 fair value measurement

Financial Instruments Valuation Techniques and Inputs Mutual funds The Group uses net asset value as the basis to determine the fair value as the Group has determined that the net asset value of the mutual fund represents fair value at the end of the reporting period.

  • 4) 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 value of equity securities suspended for trading and therefore without quoted price was determined by using the weighted average of values calculated under market-based approach and market value approach. In market-based approach, the fair value of the investee is measured by weighted average multiple value of (i) EV/sales, (ii) EV/EBITDA, and (iii) P/B of other comparable listed companies. In market value approach, the fair value is estimated based on the average closing price before security suspension. Liquidity risk parameters need to be taken into account when using these approaches. Due to the long period of security trading suspension, the market value approach had become irrelevant. Therefore, the fair value was determined only by using the weighted average of values calculated under market-based approach as of December 31, 2017.

    • i. EV/Sales: Enterprise value ÷ Sales.

    • ii. EV/EBITDA: Enterprise value ÷ Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

iii. P/B: Price ÷ Book value.

  • d) The fair values of unlisted stocks 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 Group’s major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, trade receivables, trade payables, bonds payable, and borrowings. The Group’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 Group 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 Group mitigates the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Group’s policies approved by the Corporation’s 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 Group’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).

a) Foreign currency risk

Several subsidiaries of the Corporation have foreign currency sales and purchases and foreign currency financing activities, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk.

  • 86 -

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) and derivatives exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 42.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the RMB and USD.

The following table details the Group’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 Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings and using cross currency swap contracts.

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

The sensitivity analysis below is based on the Group’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 Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would have decreased/increased by $3,698 thousand and $3,264 thousand, respectively, mainly due to the Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates of its variable-rate bank borrowings and bank deposits.

  • 87 -

c) Other price risk

The Group is exposed to price risk through its investments in listed equity securities, corporate bonds 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, 2018 would have increased/decreased by $90,466 thousand 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, 2018 would have increased/decreased by $119,263 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

If investment position prices had been 1% higher/lower, pre-tax profit for the year ended December 31, 2017 would have increased/decreased by $3,221 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of held-for-trading investments, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2017 would have increased/decreased by $174,267 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale shares.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which would cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation and financial guarantees provided by the Group is equal to the carrying amount of the financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.

The Group 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 Group only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. The Group uses publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group’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 Group evaluates clients’ financial condition continuously.

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

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’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.

  • a) Liquidity and interest rate tables for non-derivative financial liabilities

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows.

To the extent that interest rates are floating, the undiscounted amount was derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the reporting period.

  • e. YSRMC supplied ready-mixed concrete to Da Cin Construction Co., Ltd. (“Da Cin”) during 2003. The owner of the project under construction demanded Da Cin to take responsibility to repair the construction flaws. Da Cin requested YSRMC to compensate the loss and damage on the construction. However, they did not reach an agreement from year 2006 to 2009. Da Cin filed an appeal and requested YSRMC to indemnify $22,881 thousand in April 2010. In July 2014, the local court concluded that YSRMC has to pay indemnity in the amount of $17,642 thousand. In years 2010 and 2014, YSRMC had estimated related compensation loss, accounted for as provisions, of $13,800 thousand and $3,840 thousand, respectively. YSRMC had also filed an appeal against the court’s decision in October 2014. Later, Da Cin requested additional compensation of $137,544 thousand in the second instance and the total damage compensation claimed was $160,425 thousand together with the amount in the first instance. As of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the case is in the process of examination by the Supreme Court so YSRMC cannot make reasonable estimate about the judgment. YSRMC did not recognize additional compensation loss up to the auditors’ report date.

  • f. On March 13, 2013, the No. 1114 Commissioners’ Meeting of Fair Trade Commission resolved that independent power producers violated Article 14, Paragraph 1 of Fair Trade Act due to the rejection of power purchase rate adjustment with TPC and fined CHP $400,000 thousand. Accordingly, CHP recognized penalty expenses, which is included in other losses in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. The penalty is payable in 60 monthly installments and covered by a long-term note payable. CHP had filed an appeal on April 17, 2013.

On September 12, 2013, the Petitions and Appeals Committee of the Executive Yuan rescinded the imposition of penalty (the “Penalty Disposition”) and advised the Fair Trade Commission to impose more appropriate disposition with refund of penalty paid by CHP. However, CHP’s appeal against the imposition of illegal concerted action among independent power producers (the “Act Disposition”) was dismissed.

Regarding the Penalty Disposition, the Fair Trade Commission resolved a penalty of $370,000 thousand on November 13, 2013. CHP thus adjusted the penalty expenses in other gains and losses for the year ended December 31, 2013. The disposition was revoked again by the Petitions and Appeals Committee on May 9, 2014. Then the Fair Trade Commission imposed a penalty of $364,000 thousand on July 9, 2014. CHP recognized a reversal gain of $6,000 thousand in other income for the year ended December 31, 2014 and issued a long-term note payable in 60 installments for the penalty in accordance with the disposition. In addition, CHP also filed an appeal to defend its interest on August 11, 2014.

On December 11, 2014, Letter from the Petitions and Appeals Committee indicates that the filing of appeal against the Penalty Disposition is suspended until the administrative court makes the final judgment on the Act Disposition.

Regarding the Act Disposition, on November 7, 2013, CHP filed an administrative litigation at the Taipei High Administrative Court against the dispositions of the Fair Trade Commission. The Taipei High Administrative Court entered a final judgment in favor of CHP on October 29, 2014. Nevertheless, the Fair Trade Commission filed an appeal with the Supreme Administrative Court. The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the judgment made by the Taipei High Administrative Court on July 2, 2015. The Taipei High Administrative Court remanded the judgement on May 25, 2017 and still revoked the administrative disciplinary action and the judgement of the appeal. The Fair Trade Commission filed an appeal with the Supreme Administrative Court and the Taipei High Administrative Court filed an appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court on September 27, 2018. This case is currently heard by the Taipei High Administrative Court.

  • g. On March 15, 2013, Letter No. 102035 from the Fair Trade Commission indicated concerted action among CHP and other independent power producers due to the rejection of power purchase rate adjustment with TPC. Accordingly, in August 2015, TPC filed at the Taipei District Court a civil mediation which requests CHP to compensate $2.35 billion plus interest from November 1, 2007 to the settlement date for the damage caused. Later, in September 2015, TPC filed at the Taipei District Court a civil litigation appeal which requests CHP to compensate $2.349 billion plus interest from November 1, 2007 to the settlement date as well as an apology published in major newspapers. TPC also filed at the Taipei High Administrative Court an administrative litigation which requests CHP to compensate the damage caused which amounted to $1.4 billion plus interest from November 1, 2007 to the settlement date with a 5% annual interest rate.

CHP and TPC did not reach an agreement in the civil mediation council meeting held on October 7, 2015. Later, TPC included the damage compensation claimed in the civil mediation in the administrative litigation appeal and the total compensation claimed in the statement of the administrative litigation amounted to $3.75 billion plus interest from November 1, 2007 to the settlement date with a 5% annual interest rate. On November 27, 2015, the administrative court ruled that the litigation proceedings are suspended until the administrative court makes the final judgment on the Act Disposition. However, on July 12, 2016, Taipei High Administrative Court notified that the power purchase and sales contracts between independent power producers and TPC are subject to the performance of obligation under the Civil Code. Therefore, the abovementioned ruling for suspension

  • 96 -

was revoked and the administrative litigation for compensation would be transferred to the Taipei District Court. TPC filed counter appeal against the ruling; however, the appeal was dismissed by the Supreme Administrative Court on December 30, 2016. This case has been transferred to the Taipei District Court on January 25, 2017.

In light of the civil proceedings, on March 1, 2016, TPC added posterior statement which requests the capital expenditure it paid to CHP from October 9, 2007 to November 30, 2012 according to the power purchase and sales contracts to be recalculated relying on CHP’s capital ratio. Accordingly, CHP would compensate at least $2.349 billion to TPC. The Taipei District Court dismissed the appeal on November 1, 2018, and CHP filed an appeal subsequently. This case is currently heard by the Taiwan High Court.

The Corporation considered the payment of the indemnity is not possible unless TPC can provide proof that the damage was caused by the Corporation and their appeal is filed within the statute of limitation. As of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the amount of the compensation cannot be reasonably estimated. Therefore, the Corporation could not assess the possible impact on its financial position and did not recognize any contingent liabilities.

  • h. 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 former directors of CSCGL in respect of alleged dishonest breaches of fiduciary duty or alleged conspiracy to injure 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 has engaged lawyers to take legal actions in connection with the unqualified claim to defend its reputation and interests. Up to the date of the auditors’ report, the proceedings are still ongoing and it is premature to make any assessment of the likely outcome of the action. Therefore, the Corporation did not recognize any contingent liabilities.

  • i. Tianrui Group Company Limited and Tianrui (International) Holding Company Limited (collectively referred as “Tianrui Group”), CSI and former and present 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 shareholders including the Corporation. The Corporation has filed a writ of summons in the High Court of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands in June and August 2017, respectively. The Corporation is seeking legal advice in relation to the legal proceedings. Up to the date of the auditors’ report, the trial date has not been set. The Corporation’s appointed attorney has been actively following up on the legal proceedings.
