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, 2020 and 2019, 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 the 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, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020. 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.

  • 2 -

The key audit matters identified in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:

Estimated Impairment of Trade Receivables

The estimated provision for impairment of trade receivables is based on the assumptions of defaults and expected loss rates. The assumptions and selection of inputs for impairment calculation are based on the Group’s historical experience, existing market conditions as well as the forward-looking estimates. When the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise, refer to Notes 5 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements. Because key assumptions and inputs used for measuring expected credit losses on trade receivables involve significant judgments and uncertainties, we considered the estimated impairment of trade receivables as one of the key audit matters.

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

  1. We obtained an understanding of the internal control procedures with respect to management’s allowance for impairment loss of trade receivables.

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

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

  4. For the estimated impairment of accounts receivable, we evaluated the adequacy of management’s provision for impairment based on customers’ past default experience, current financial position, any collateral pledged, existing market conditions as well as forward-looking estimates.

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 17 to the consolidated financial statements. Because the valuation of investment properties involves significant judgments and uncertainties, we considered the fair value measurement of investment properties as one of the key audit matters.

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

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

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

  3. 3 -

  4. We sample-tested items from management’s supporting documents, which include the effective gross income, expenses, and property rights of land and buildings to verify the valuation process used by management and recalculated the fair value of investment properties to assess the reasonableness of management’s calculation.

Other Matter

The financial statements of China Shanshui Cement Group Limited (CSCGL), an associate accounted for using the equity method, were audited by other auditors as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. 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, 2020 and 2019, the aggregate carrying value of the equity-method investments in CSCGL was NT$14,380,609 thousand and NT$12,024,837 thousand, respectively, representing 5% and 4% of the consolidated total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the share of profit or loss of CSCGL was NT$2,146,467 thousand and NT$2,211,559 thousand, respectively, representing 9% and 8%, respectively, of the consolidated profit before income tax.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Asia Cement Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.

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.

  • 4 -

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.

  • 5 -

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, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

ASIA CEMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

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

In June 1992 and September 1996, certain shares of the Corporation were sold by Far Eastern New Century Corporation (FENC) in the form of global depositary shares (GDSs). Such GDSs have been quoted through the SEAQ system of the London Stock Exchange and traded through the portal system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. As of December 31, 2020, the issued and outstanding GDSs aggregated 27,237 units, representing 272,367 shares of the Corporation.

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

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Corporation’s board of directors and authorized for issue on March 25, 2021.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

  • a. Initial application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)

Except for the following, the initial application of the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

Amendment to IFRS 16 “Covid-19 - Related Rent Concessions”

The Group elected to apply the practical expedient provided in the amendment to IFRS 16 with respect to rent concessions negotiated with the lessor as a direct consequence of the COVID-19. The related accounting policies are stated in Note 4. Prior to the application of the amendment, the Group shall determine whether or not the abovementioned rent concessions need to be accounted for as lease modifications.

The Group applied the amendment from January 1, 2020. Because the abovementioned rent concessions affect only in 2020, retrospective application of the amendment has no impact on the retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.

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.

  • 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.

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

Current assets include:

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

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

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

Current liabilities include:

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

  • 16 -

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

  • 3) 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.

  • d. Basis of consolidation

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

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 13, Tables 8 and 9 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).

e. 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.

  • 17 -

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.

f. 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.

g. 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.

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 the equity method. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional

  • 18 -

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 the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

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

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 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 share method if there are reciprocal holdings between investors and investees. The reciprocally held shares of the Group are treated as treasury shares and are deducted from the outstanding shares in computing basic earnings per share.

h. Property, plant and equipment

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

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

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

i. Investment properties

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

  • 19 -

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

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

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

  • j. 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.

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.

k. 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.

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

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset 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.

  • 20 -

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.

  • m. Financial instruments

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

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

Financial assets

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

  • 1) Measurement category

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

  • a) Financial assets at FVTPL

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

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any dividends or interest earned on such financial assets are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 34.

  • b) Financial assets at amortized cost

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

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

  • 21 -

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

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, 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.

  • c) 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.

  • 2) Impairment of financial assets

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

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

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

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

  • 22 -

  • 3) 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.

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

Financial liabilities

  • 1) Subsequent measurement

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

Financial liabilities are held for trading and are stated at fair value, and any interest paid on such financial liabilities is recognized in finance costs; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial liabilities are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 34.

  • 2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

Convertible bonds

The component parts of convertible bonds issued by the 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.

  • 23 -

Derivative financial instruments

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

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.

n. 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.

  • o. Revenue recognition

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 revenues 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:

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

  • 2) 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.

  • 3) 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:

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

  • 24 -

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

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

  • p. Leases

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

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

1) The Group as lessor

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

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

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

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

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

2) The Group as lessee

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

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated

  • 25 -

depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

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

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

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

The Group negotiates with the lessor for rent concessions as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 to change the lease payments originally due by June 30, 2021, that results in the revised consideration for the lease substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change. There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions. The Group elects to apply the practical expedient to all of these rent concessions and, therefore, does not assess whether the rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, the Group recognizes the reduction in lease payment in profit or loss as a deduction of expenses of variable lease payments, in the period in which the events or conditions that trigger the concession occur, and makes a corresponding adjustment to the lease liability.

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

q. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other than those stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

  • r. 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.

  • 26 -

Government grants related to income are recognized in other income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs that the grants intend 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.

s. Employee benefits

  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

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

  • 2) Retirement benefits

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

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

Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the 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.

  • 3) 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.

  • t. Taxation

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

  • 1) Current tax

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

According to the Income Tax Law in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for 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.

  • 27 -

2) 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 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.

  • 3) Current tax and deferred tax for the year

Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the current tax and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income, respectively. 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 Group considers the economic implications of the COVID-19 when making its critical accounting 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.

  • 28 -

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

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. For details of the key assumptions and inputs used, see Note 10.

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 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 17.

  • 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.

Trade Receivables - Sales

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 obtains sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by reference to 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.

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. Because the nature of the agreement is considered as conveyance of rights to use asset, the agreement is regarded as finance lease.

The Group measures the loss allowance for finance lease receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. As of December 31, 2020, no finance lease receivable was past due. The Group has not recognized a loss allowance for finance lease receivables after taking into consideration the historical default experience and the future prospects of the industries in which the lessees operate.

The Group is the single largest shareholder with 41.41% and 25.74% of the voting rights of associates, U-Ming and FENC, respectively. Considering the size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other shareholders and the voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings, which indicate that other shareholders are not passive, the Group is not able to appoint more than half of the members of those charged with governance of U-Ming and FENC. Consequently, the Group considered and classified U-Ming and FENC as associates of the Group as it is merely able to exercise significant influence over U-Ming and FENC.

DCI, the Corporation’s subsidiary, subscribed for 4,000 shares of Drive Catalyst SPC-SP Tranche Three in the amount of US$4,000 thousand in October 2019. After the subscription, DCI owned 25% of the shares of Catalyst Tranche Three.

Due to the liquidation of SHSTC in 2019, the Corporation’s subsidiaries, DCI and NHC, received cash refund of capital stock in the amount of $2,774 thousand and $63,008 thousand, respectively, and the Corporation recognized gains (losses) on disposal of investments of $2,774 thousand and $(5,761) thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Corporation’s subsidiaries, ACCHC, Far Eastern Polytex (Holding) Limited (FEPHL) and FEDS Development (BVI) Ltd. (FEDSBVI) intended to jointly invest in YDES. Through this investment, ACCHC can participate in projects on land development and commercial building construction in the Shanghai World EXPO area.

YDES was initially established by Far Eastern New Century (China) Corporation (FENCC), a wholly owned subsidiary of FEPHL. In addition, ACCHC has signed related investment contracts with FEPHL and FEDSBVI and will subscribe for new shares issued by YDES when the completion of the construction process of the commercial building reaches 25%. On February 18, 2019 and June 30, 2019, ACCHC subscribed for YDES’s cash capital increase in the amount of RMB714,190 thousand through its subsidiary OHC; after the subscription, ACCHC’s percentage of ownership in YDES was 40%.

The fair values of investment properties were valued by independent qualified professional appraisers. According to local requirements, entities are required to have independent appraisal for the investment properties with individual carrying amount of $300 million or higher. The fair values of investment properties as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were determined by qualified professional appraisers, Mr. Chang from Savills (Taiwan) Limited and Mr. Tsai and Ms. Hu from DTZ real estate appraisers firm on March 2, 2021 and March 4, 2020, respectively.

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

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

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

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

The 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, 2020 and 2019 was $360,739 thousand and $358,324 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, 2020 and 2019, the risk premiums were 0.39%-4.41% and 0.225%-4.50%, respectively.

Refer to Note 36 for the carrying amount of investment properties pledged by the Group as collaterals for borrowings.

The above items of other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis. Quarry rights are amortized over 5 to 47 years and the computer software and others are amortized over 2 to 5 years. The other items with indefinite useful lives will not be amortized until their useful lives are determined to be finite. Instead, they will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired.

According to the Plan for the Reform of the Mineral Resource Royalty System issued by the State Council of the People's Republic of China, proceeds from prospecting and mining rights shall be changed into proceeds from assignment of mining rights and shall be determined according to valuation and benchmark market prices under similar conditions, whichever is higher. The proceeds from the transfer of mining rights shall be determined at one time and paid in the form of monetary funds. The specific measures for payment shall be developed separately by the Ministry of Finance in conjunction with the Ministry of Land and Resources.

The Group finalized the independent valuation report in accordance with the aforementioned reform plans related to the mine reserves and the estimated amount of the provision of mine reserve fund, which was capitalized into the cost of quarry. In addition, the Group was required to accrue cost of production of mine, which represented the quantity of mine excavated times the agreed amount of unit cost for the current and past years, and such amount was charged on the cost of sales of the Group. As of the December 31, 2020, the fund payables of mine reserve of RMB299,724 thousand was accounted for as accounts payable and accrued expenses - third parties.

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 already obtained the physical share certificates of the acquired shares of CSI. Pursuant to the Articles of Association of CSI, the share ownership can only be recorded on the register of shareholders if the board of directors of CSI approves the share transfer. The Corporation has submitted all necessary documents to CSI for registration of the share transfer, among which the registration of shares of CSI acquired from two of the six shareholders were completed and the related prepaid investments in the balance sheets were therefore reclassified to financial assets at FVTOCI - non-current.

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

On October 2, 2018, Chan Hongqing applied to the High Court of Hong Kong for interlocutory relief in another proceedings against the Corporation to prohibit the Corporation and the four CSI shareholders from transferring and registering their CSI shares. The application for interlocutory relief was heard in the High Court of Hong Kong on April 3, 2019 and was dismissed by the High Court of Hong Kong on March 16, 2021. In view of this order, the registration of share transfer by CSI’s board of directors will no longer be restricted to the above-mentioned application for interlocutory relief. Therefore, the Corporation will apply to CSI’s board of directors for registration of the share transfer after re-obtaining the physical share certificates of the shares of CSI.

  • b. Chu Feng Power Corporation, Preparatory Office (Chu Feng) was founded in October 2016 by DCI, the Corporation’s subsidiary, for the development of offshore wind power in Taiwan. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the accumulated prepaid investments were $210,241 thousand and $142,768 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 but finally failed to win the tender offer. Later, on March 25, 2020, DCI’s board of directors resolved to enter into a joint venture agreement with Innogy Renewables Beteiligungs GmbH Company (“Innogy”), which was under restructure and renamed as RWE Renewables Beteiligungs GmbH in August 2020, to further develop Chu Feng offshore wind project. As of December 31, 2020, DCI has received advance receipt for investment from Innogy in the amount of $150,000 thousand, which was accounted for as other non-current liabilities. In addition, the Group recognized the amounts paid within the preparatory period as other receivables or prepaid investments and also recognized full amounts of provisions based on the preparatory loss of Chu Feng; refer to Note 25.

26. 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%-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

Fair value of plan assets

Deficit (surplus)

Net defined benefit liabilities (asset)

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.

  • 58 -

  • 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
2020
2019
0.20%-0.90%
0.65%-1.15%
2.00%-2.50%
2.00%-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) Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Corporation has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Corporation’s capital surplus and to once a year).

  • 2) Such capital surplus from the effect of changes in associate’s ownership interest in its subsidiary that resulted from actual acquisition and disposal of equity may be used to offset a deficit or distributed as cash dividends or share dividends under Article 241-1 of Company Act.

  • 60 -

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

  • c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), apart from paying all its income taxes in the case where there are net incomes at the end of the year, the Corporation shall make up for accumulated losses in past years. Providing that there is any remaining profit, 10% of the unappropriated earnings from the net profit after tax for the current period coupled with other items that recognized in retained earning directly for the current period shall be set aside as legal reserve. Subject to certain business conditions under which the Corporation may retain a portion of the remaining balance, the Corporation may distribute to the shareholders the remainder together with undistributed profits from previous years in proportion to the number of the shares held by each shareholder as shareholders’ dividend. However in the case of increase in the Corporation's share capital, the shareholders' dividend to be distributed to the shareholders of increased shares for the year shall be decided by the shareholders' meeting. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors, refer to employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors in Note 29(f).

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

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

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

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”.

The appropriation of earnings and dividends per share for 2019 and 2018 were approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 23, 2020 and June 24, 2019, respectively, were as follows:

Assuming that the shares reciprocally held by associates were not treated as treasury shares and not deducted from weighted average number of shares outstanding, the basic EPS would be NT$4.38 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The appropriations of earnings for 2020 are subject to the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting to be held on June 25, 2021.

  • d. Special reserve recognized at the date of transition

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

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

The 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, 2020.

In July 2019, the president of the ROC announced the amendments to the Statute for Industrial Innovation, which stipulate that the amounts of unappropriated earnings in 2018 and thereafter that are reinvested in the construction or purchase of certain assets or technologies are allowed as deduction when computing the income tax on unappropriated earnings. When calculating the tax on unappropriated earnings, the Group only deducts the amount of the unappropriated earnings that has been reinvested in capital expenditure.

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 shares.

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.

32. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS WITH NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

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

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

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

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

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

  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, trade receivables, trade payables, bonds payable, borrowings and lease liabilities. 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 and interest rates. The Group enters into cross-currency swap contracts to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency risk and interest risk.

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.

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 39.

  • 77 -

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:

Fair value interest rate risk

Sensitivity analysis

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, 2020 and 2019 would have decreased/increased by $247 thousand and $2,238 thousand, respectively, mainly due to the Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates of its variable-rate bank borrowings and bank deposits.

  • 78 -

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 years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $147,701 thousand and $47,282 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $132,965 thousand and $134,509 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the 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.

  • 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.

  • 87 -

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 ruled 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 case was remanded to the Taipei High Administrative Court on May 25, 2017, and the Taipei High Administrative Court 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 case was remanded to the Taipei High Administrative Court on September 27, 2018. On May 16, 2020, the Taipei High Administrative Court revoked the administrative disciplinary action and the judgement of the appeal once again. On July 9, 2020, the Fair Trade Commission served a statement of appeal upon CHP, and the Taipei High Administrative Court has transferred the case to the Supreme Administrative Court on August 18, 2020.

  • 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 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 and dismissed by Taipei District Court on April 12, 2019. Later TPC filed an appeal on May 17, 2019, and the case is currently heard by the Taiwan High Court.

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.

CHP considered the payment of the indemnity is not possible unless TPC can provide proof that the damage was caused by CHP 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, CHP 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 the alleged dishonest breaches of fiduciary duty or alleged conspiracy to cause damages to CSCGL during their tenures. The proceedings arose from disputes between CSCGL’s present and former board of directors over the changes in management and the takeover of the headquarters of CSCGL. On April 7, 2016, the Corporation was added as the 10th defendant. The Corporation engaged lawyers to take legal actions in connection with the unqualified claim to defend its reputation and interests. As of the auditors’ report date, the trial was set to take place, starting from April to June 2021. The Corporation considered that it is premature to evaluate at this stage the possible outcome of the proceedings and, therefore, 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 directors of CSCGL, in breach of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and share Buy-backs issued by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the fiduciary duties, have engaged in unfair prejudicial conducts in favor of Tianrui directly and indirectly through CSCGL which are detrimental to the interests of the shareholders including the Corporation. The Corporation filed a writ of summons to the High Court of Hong Kong in June 2017 and has been seeking legal advice in relation to the legal proceedings. As the respondents’ applications to strike out the petition for technical reasons, the Corporation amended the applications accordingly. As of the auditors’ report date, no further decision has been rendered yet.

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