We hereby declare the results of the self-assessment of our internal control system in 2020 as below:

We acknowledge that it is the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and managers to establish, implement, and maintain the internal control system. We have established said system. Its purpose is to reasonably ensure that operational effectiveness and efficiency (including revenue, performance, and asset safety) and reporting are reliable, timely and transparent, as well as to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and laws.
Due to the inherent limitations of the internal control system, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable assurance about the achievements of the three goals above, no matter how completely it is designed. Also, the effectiveness of an internal control system may vary when environment and circumstances change. However, our internal control system contains a selfsupervision mechanism. We will immediately take corrective action towards any deficiency identified therefrom.
We determine the effectiveness of the design and implementation of our internal control system based on the criteria set forth in the “Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies” (hereinafter called the “Regulations”). The Regulations specify five elements during the management and control process that constitute the internal control system: a. control environment, b. risk assessment, c. control activities, d. information and communications, e. supervision activities. Each constituent element may include several topics. The foregoing elements are as described in the Regulations.
We have adopted the above criteria of the internal control system to assess the effectiveness of the design and implementation of our internal control system.
Based on the results of said assessment, we determined that our internal control system (including the supervision and management of subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2020 have provided an effective design and implementation to reasonably ensure the achievement of goals, including the understanding of the achievement level of our effectiveness and efficiency goals, the reliability, timeliness, and transparency of reporting, as well as compliance with relevant regulations and laws.
The Company and its subsidiaries assigned accountants to review the reliability of external financial reporting and the security of assets (such that assets are not obtained, used or disposed without authorization) during the aforesaid period in accordance with Article 25 of the “Handling Guidelines” and Article 4 of the “Rules governing the TWSE Post-IPO Management of Foreign Issuers”. As stated above, the internal control system is effective in design and performance, which has no major defect that would influence the reliability of recording, handling, summarizing and reporting financial information, nor the major defect that would affect the asset safety that makes the assets being obtained,

This Report will form the major part of our annual report and prospectus, and will be disclosed to the public. Any misrepresentation, concealment and other illegal conduct will result in liability under Articles 20, 32, 171, and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Act.
This Report has been passed by the Board of Directors on March 5, 2021. Among the six directors present at the meeting, zero members had objections, and the rest agreed to the statement herein.

4.6 Dividend Policy and Implementation Status

A. Dividend Policy in articles of the company:

The Board may, subject to approval by the Members by way of Ordinary Resolution or, in the case of Article 12.3(a), Supermajority Resolution and subject to the Articles and any direction of the Company in general meeting, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members in proportion to the number of shares held by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or shares.

Subject to the Applicable Law, no dividends or other distribution shall be paid except out of profits of the Company, realised or unrealised, out of share premium account or any reserve, fund or account as otherwise permitted by the Law. Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any shares, all dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the number of the shares that a Member holds. If any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that share shall rank for dividends accordingly.

The Company, in addition to the dividends to be distributed at the end of each financial year, may distribute interim dividends to the Members on semi-year basis. If the Board decides not to distribute interim dividends, the Board shall adopt a resolution to confirm such non-distribution after the relevant first half of the financial year. The distribution of the dividends at the end of each financial year shall comply with the requirements and procedures set forth in Clauses 14.4 to 14.6 and 14.10 to 14.12 and the distribution of the dividends for the first half of the financial year shall comply the requirements and procedures set forth in Clauses 14.6 to 14.12.

Subject to the Law and this Article and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any shares, the Company may distribute profits in accordance with a proposal for profits distribution approved by the Board and sanctioned by the Members by an Ordinary Resolution, in annual general meetings.

The Company is in the growth stage. The Board shall prepare the dividend proposal by taking into account the profit of the year, overall development, financial plans, capital requirements, the industry and the Company's prospects and perspectives and so on and submit the proposal for the Members' approval. For so long as the shares are traded on the ESM or listed on the TPEx or the TSE in Taiwan, if there are profits, in making the profits distribution recommendation, the Board shall set aside out of the profits of the Company for each financial year: (i) a reserve for payment of tax for the relevant financial year; (ii) an amount to offset losses incurred in previous years; (iii) ten per cent (10%) as reserve ("Statutory Reserve"); and (iv) a special surplus reserve as required by the applicable securities

-71-

authority of the ROC under the Applicable Public Company Rules. The remaining balance, if any, together with a part or whole of accumulated undistributed profits in the previous years, subject to the Law and the Applicable Public Company Rules and after having considered the financial, business and operational factors of the Company, may be distributed as dividends to Members in proportion to their shareholdings in the amount of no less than ten per cent (10%) of profit after tax of the relevant year. In the event that dividends are distributed to Members in a combination of share dividend and cash dividend, cash dividend shall be no less than ten per cent (10%) of the total dividends.

B. Proposed Distribution of Dividend

Shareholder’s stock dividend: The Company’s Board of Directors has agreed the 2020 earnings distribution on March 05, 2021, with a stock dividend of NT$74,989,050 from the 2020 earnings, which is 150 shares for every thousand shares.
Shareholder's cash dividend: The Company’s Board of Directors has agreed the 2020 earnings distribution on March 05, 2021, with an amount of NT$ 274,959,850 from the 2020 earnings and NT$5.5 per share. After agreed by the shareholders’ convention, the Board of Directors has been authorized to set the discharge date.
Employee Bonus – in Stock: None.
Employee Bonus – in Cash: NT$ 5,122,000.

4.7 The impact of the issuance of bonus shares proposed in the current shareholders�� meeting upon the Company’s business performance and earnings per share (EPS):

On March 5, 2021, the board of directors of the company approved a surplus capital increase of NT$74,989,050, which means that 150 shares will be allotted for every 1,000 shares; the share capital after the surplus capital increase is 585,756,050 yuan. The degree of dilution of the company’s earnings per share by this free allotment is 12.80 %. As the company is currently in a growth stage and it is expected that profits in 2021 will continue to grow, the company's handling of free allotment should have limited impact on operating performance and earnings per share.

4.8 Remuneration of employees, directors and supervisors

A. Information Relating to Employee Bonus and Directors’ and Supervisors’ Remuneration in the Articles of Incorporation:

According to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the Company accrues employees’ compensation at a rate of no less than 1% when the Company earned profits in the year. Employees’ compensation is paid to employees of subordinate companies that meet certain conditions. When the Company is able to increase the amount of profit, it accrues directors’ remuneration at a rate of no more than 3% of the profit of the year.

-72-

B. The Estimated Basis for Calculating the Employee Bonus and Directors’ and Supervisors’ Remuneration

The Company's annual employee remuneration and director remuneration in 2020are based on the Company's 2020 annual profit (defined as net profit before tax), taking the distribution percentage specified in Company's Articles of Association as the estimation basis, and list the current-stage operating expenses. However, if there is a difference between the actual allotment amount and the estimated one according to the conclusion of shareholder convention, it is regarded as the accounting deviation and is included in the balance profit and loss of the resolution of the shareholder convention. If the employee's remuneration is issued by stock, the calculation of shares in the share-based remuneration bases on the market-closing price on the previous day of the shareholders convention and considers the ex-dividend and ex-dividend effect.

C. Profit Distribution for Employee Bonus and Directors’ and Supervisors’ Remuneration for 2021 Approved in Board of Directors Meeting
(1) Recommended Distribution of Employee Bonus and Directors’ and Supervisors’ Remuneration: (NT$ thousands)

Employee Bonus – in Cash $ Employee Bonus – in Stock Directors' and Supervisors' Remuneration Total $	5,122 0 1,000
	6,122

(2) Ratio of Recommended Employee Stock Bonus to Capitalization of Earnings: 0%

The above-mentioned actual distribution of employee bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration was in line with the recommended resolution of the Board of Directors.

D. Distribution of last year’s earnings surplus paid to employees, directors and supervisors: None.

5.1.2 Industry Overview

1.Current state and development of the industry

The Company is an oversea holding company established in the Cayman Islands in September 2014. The Group mainly engages in the manufacture, sale and R&D of cellulose diacetate tows, vertically integrates the material sources. Since 2016, the Company jointly established the Aceteck

-78-

Material Co., Ltd. with Lunan Chemicals Co., Ltd. and the strategic investor Qiyao Co., Ltd., which mainly engages in the production, sales and R&D of cellulose diacetate. The cellulose diacetate tows belong to the acetate industry, the main applications are on the filter materials. The downstream application market includes filters for cigarettes, dry diapers, refills, non-woven masks, reverse osmosis membranes, sewage treatment. In medical applications, the cellulose diacetate tows are used to produce blood filters; some of them are also used in high-class clothing. About 75%-85% of the global cellulose acetate fiber production is the cellulose diacetate, and over 90% of the acetate tows are used for cigarette filters. The raw material of diacetate is wood pulp, which is a naturally regenerated fiber. The fiber is made into the cellulose diacetate by reacting with chemical raw materials such as acetic anhydride, and then produced into the cellulose diacetate tows through a series of process technologies. The industry overview and terminal application market are as follows:

The global environmental pollution is increasingly serious; the original ecological balance is destroyed as never made before. Countries around the world have developed strict environmental laws and regulations, using natural fibers or renewable resources as fiber raw materials, which enables the minimum pollution to the environment from products in the manufacturing process and the disposal afterward. The main raw material of cellulose acetate fiber is made by natural vinegar through acetification process, and is divided into acetate cellulose, cellulose diacetate and cellulose triacetate according to the acetification degree. The acetate cellulose has good skin contact and wearing comfort, hygroscopicity and easy to handle about, and its products can be completely decomposed, biodegradable that many synthetic fibers can’t, which can be used for pharmaceutical enteric coatings, eyeglass frames, toys and other plastic products, or dissolved in acetone, after spinning, silking and curling, form tows to produce cigarette filters, dry diapers, refills, non-woven masks and sewage treatment; in addition, in medical, acetate cellulose can be used to make hemodialysis filtration membrane, artificial kidney membrane material and similar products. Therefore, the end application products of acetate cellulose can be quite extensive and diverse.

The Group makes vertical integration and expands new plant to material source and completed the plant construction on June 30, 2017. The new plant mainly produces cellulose diacetate (commonly known as vinegar tablets), and the spinning grade vinegar tablets are used by Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd., which is a downstream company of the supply group. The plastic vinegar tablets are mainly sold out. The manufacturing process of vinegar tablets applies the medium temperature method, and the cellulose acetate grade pulp reacts with acetic anhydride as the catalyst under the condition of sulfuric acid as the solvent and the acetic acid is as the solvent to produce cellulose triacetate, which is then hydrolyzed, precipitated, washed and dried to obtain cellulose diacetate. The manufacturing process of cellulose diacetate tows mainly uses vinegar tablets as raw material, processed by dissolution,

-79-

filtration, spinning, and crimping, drying, wire-drawing, packaging and other processes. Because the cellulose diacetate tows have excellent elasticity and thermal stability, its texture is firm, non-toxic, tasteless, small suction resistance, and remarkable in filter effect. It can reduce harmful substances such as tar and nicotine that enter human body during smoking, and thus have replaced the polypropylene material and become the main raw material for today’s cigarette filters. Since the acetate tows have come into mass production model in 1962, the production of Celanese, Eastman and Rhodia (bought by the Solvay Group in 2011) accounted for the majority in the market; all three major suppliers produce their own vinegar tablets, supplying the world's major tobacco manufacturers (China Tobacco, PMI, British Anglo, Independent & Monopolies, Japan Tobacco and other manufacturers) after being formed to tows, and has long-term stable cooperation with global tobacco manufacturers. Since the manufacturing capacities of these three major suppliers are adjusted mainly in line with the demand of the top five tobacco manufacturers, therefore, the capacity expansion is cautious. In the past a few years, due to the growth of Chinese cigarette market, the supply of cellulose diacetate tows is in short; China tobacco industry has no independent technology, it thus makes joint venture with international companies. After obtaining the required technology, the production and demand have gradually become balanced. The demanding and price of cigarettes are extremely affected by the cycle of economy. Even if the tobacco tax is added to the tobacco control policy, the additional cost is taken by consumers and the cigarette prices increase instead of decrease; yet, for the acetate tows, under the major change in the cost structure, the price of the cellulose diacetate tows was adjusted along with adjusting of upstream and downstream prices.

In 2016, the global output of diacetate tows was about 762,000 tons, and its end products were widely used in cigarette filters. According to the research report of Zhiyan Consulting Group Research Center, the global sales amount of diacetate tows in 2016 is about 4.217 billion US dollars; the growth is going to reach over 4.811 billion US dollars by the end of 2023. It is obvious that the market demand will continue to grow in the future. The following are the markets for downstream applications such as the filters and textile cellulose acetate fibers.

A.Filters

The filters are the upper part of cigarettes, which are used to filter out part of the tar inhaled from cigarettes, reducing the discomfort of the smoker after smoking. With the technology development, the filter types have made some changes. Because cellulose diacetate tow has good elasticity and thermal stability, it has a special type structure and chemical composition, which is non-toxic, tasteless, and strong in adsorption and has a significant effect on filtering, which can reduce the toxic substances in the flue gas. Filters have been applied to the cigarette filters since 1957 to instead of polyester fiber

-80-

material; it has become the main material for cigarette filters. Cellulose acetate fiber is widely accepted by consumers enjoying both low tar and high tar cigarettes. At present, the density or specification of acetate tow has reached 5.0 denier from 1.8 denier and can be made into a series of filters that adapt to different pressures and remaining characteristics. The finer the fiber, the higher filtration efficiency of cigarette it can reach about. In addition, the ventilation function of cellulose acetate fiber can also reduce the smoke volatilization, and the volatilization of cigarette tar and nicotine decreases as the filter becomes longer. In the past, cigarette filter was usually 20 mm long, at present, 25 mm, 27 mm or even 31 mm filters are common. The increase in filter length reduces the tobacco amount in cigarette; on the other hand, it reduces the cigarette smoke; longer cigarette filter can make better smoke-reducing effect.

The filter market is mainly from the demand of cigarette market. At present, the demand of global cigarette market is affected by the increasing number of tobacco control measures and the diversified trend of smoker consumption. The cigarettes demand in the developed countries including the United States, Europe and Japan continues to declining, within 2005 to 2018, cigarette sales in Asia, Middle East and Africa increased. The main cigarette growth in Asia comes from China. China is the country with the highest smoking population in the world. The output value of Chinese cigarettes is 43.6% of the global total. Other emerging economies such as Indonesia and Africa are the growing regions of cigarettes. According to the data, the top five cigarette markets are China, Russia, the United States, Indonesia and Japan, which account for 61.7% of the total cigarette market in 2018; among the top ten cigarette markets, six of them are the emerging market economies. The Indonesian cigarette market is a special one, mainly based on clove-flavored diced cigarettes; in the Russian cigarette market, cigarette sales decreased by 31.7% within 2013 to 2018, yet, cigarette sales increased by 2%; the tobacco market in India mainly is the smoke-free tobacco, about 75% market share; followed by the hand-rolling tobacco market, about 27% market share; cigarettes share only 14%; but for international tobacco merchants, about 825 billion cigarettes were sold in India in 2018, which is one of the emerging markets that can be expected to be developed.

The cigarette markets in each of the above regions are growing and affecting the demand for cellulose diacetate tows. However, not all cigarettes have filters, on particular the unfiltered cigarettes are more common in the emerging economies. Nowadays, the income of emerging economies is increasing and health awareness is rising. In addition to the government's effort to strengthen tobacco control measures with the World Health Organization (WHO), consumers and manufacturers are more convinced that the use of filters and the extension of cigarette filters can reduce the inhale of harmful substances. Therefore, the demanding of cellulose diacetate tows in the emerging markets such as Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America shall continue to rise up.

B. Cellulose acetate fiber grade (non-woven facial mask, dry diaper and high-grade clothing, etc.)

Non-woven fabric made of acetic acid staple fiber (non-woven fabric) can be used for surgical dressing that is non-sticking to the wound which is a high-grade medical and hygienic material, and can also be used as the main material for the absorbent layer of diapers. In addition, acetic acid staple fiber can also be blended with cotton or synthetic fiber to make various fabrics with excellent properties. On particular, acetate fiber has been developed for use in masks because it has stronger water retention and conformability than existing non-woven fabrics. Acetate filaments are the silkiest one in the chemical fiber, and the gloss is elegant. Bright dyeing, strong color fastness, soft and smooth handfeeling, light texture, low moisture regain, good elasticity, hard to wrinkle, good drapability and thermos-plasticity and dimensional stability, able to be widely used as clothing lining, casual wear, pajamas and underwear, etc. It can also combine with polyvinyl alcohol, polyester, polyamine filaments and silk to make composite yarns, weaving all kinds of men's and women's clothing and developing satin fabrics and woven fabrics, decorative satin and embroidered products. At present, it is favored by consumers in the United States, Britain, Japan, Italy, Mexico, South Korea, Russia, Pakistan and other countries and regions, especially in the US market. China's annual demand on textile cellulose acetate fiber is about 10,000 tons. Due to the high import price, there are only small amount of import, about 2,000 tons per year. Many textile mills use substitutes to solve the problem of insufficient cellulose acetate, and the performance of acetate fiber is excellent. Wide range, high added value of products, no pollution in the production process and renewable raw materials that is suitable for sustainable development. China's textile acetate filament production is still completely dependent on imports, so the market prospect of textile acetate fiber is very promising.

C. Cellulose acetate fiber grade

Acetate is the most widely used plastic frame material. Its advantage is that it is easy to dye so that it can make various color changes (composite, tortoiseshell, wood grain, brushed grain...), and has good light transmittance and gloss. Acetate fiber needs to be deacidified, dried in the shade, and baked for a long time before making glasses to improve its stability. On the other hand, the disadvantage of acetate fiber is that it is easy to deform after absorbing water, because it is made of plant fiber. According to Statista's forecast of the future revenue of the plastic frame market, the global plastic frame market revenue is expected to reach 19.65 billion U.S. dollars in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 3.9% during the forecast period (CAGR 2020-2023)

�Global Plastic Frame Market Revenue and Estimated 2010-2023�

SOURCE:statista,2020

According to Statista data, the main source of market revenue growth comes from the global population growth and the increase in the price of mirror frames. In recent years, the use of community opinion leaders (KOL) as the main axis of marketing has increased in the market, and the recognition of products by opinion leaders has made people more accepting of the price of glasses. This phenomenon will promote market growth during the forecast period. . On the other hand, manufacturers are paying more and more attention to the design of glasses, so that users' demand for glasses has not been reduced due to the popularity of contact lenses, and the unit price of glasses has also risen, which in turn drives the demand for plastic frames.

According to the World Population Prospects 2019: Highlights report released by the United Nations, the global population will grow to 8.5 billion in 2030, which will have a positive impact on the future demand for glasses. According to the report THE IMPACT OF issued by the World Health

-84-

Organization MYOPIA AND HIGH MYOPIA pointed out that in the future, the myopia population and the myopia rate will increase year by year. It is estimated that the myopia population will reach 4.9 billion in 2050. Therefore, the demand for glasses will increase year by year, and the demand for plastic frames will also increase.

Correlation among upstream, midstream and downstream sections of the industry:

The relationship of the Group's upper, middle and lower industries are shown as follows. The Company's cellulose diacetate tows can be used in a wide range of applications. At present, most of the tows are used in cigarette filters, the upstream industry is the manufacturers of cellulose diacetate, and the downstream one is the filter rod manufacturers or cigarette manufacturer, ink refills, dry diaper layer products and sewage filters, etc. In 2016, the Group vertically integrated the material source and has established a joint venture with Lunan Chemicals Co., Ltd., which is the upstream supplier, and downstream strategic investor Qiyao Co., Ltd. and started to mass production since the second half of 2017, which mainly produces the cellulose diacetate to reduce the cost of raw materials, and processed through a series of process technologies, and then sold to downstream manufacturers such as filter rod manufacturers or cigarette manufacturers that manufacture cigarette filters. The tobacco industry, which is mainly used for its application, is relatively closed in operation. Therefore, in addition to direct sales, the Company also sell products through agents familiar with the tobacco industry.

In summary, the Group continues to invest in the R&D of high-level technologic research and related applications of cellulose diacetate tows and cellulose triacetate, responding to the development of future medical and daily consumer products, with a view to master business opportunities.

4. Industrial competition

The Group mainly engages in the R&D, production and sales of cellulose diacetate tows. It is a professional cellulose acetate tows manufacturing company, the main competitors are from multinational international companies such as Europe, the United States and Japan, including Solvay, Eastman, Celanese and Daicel, etc. In this almost oligopolistic market, aim to the efforts of emerging country customers as business development targets, and nowadays have gained certain reputation in this field. But the Company still has to face the competition of international manufacturers that own transnational resources. In addition to the Company’s continuous R&D, the Group has continued to improve the manufacturing process and maintain quality stability, and strives for more customer orders and whereas reduces the risk of industrial changes.

5.1.3 Research and Development

1. Research and development and technical ability of our business lines

A. Technologic level

The Group mainly engages in the production of various types of cellulose diacetate and tows, and makes R&D on such products. Cellulose diacetate has different properties and applications depending on its esterification degree. The products with of acetification degree of 2.25-2.3 are used for producing special plastic sheets; products with of acetification degree of 2.8-3.0 are for high

-87-

performance electronic films and organic penetration membranes. The products with of acetification degree of 2.4-2.6 are applied for producing the Group's tows.

The raw material of cellulose acetate is natural cellulose such as wood pulp or cotton pulp. It is a renewable resource with rich sources and sustainability. Meanwhile, the wastewater generated in the production process is easy to handle and has less rejects. The main operating units in production process are cellulose acetate production unit, recovery unit, raw material tank area and chemicals area. Due to the wide variation of raw materials, the conditions for producing various specifications of tows are also quite different. Cellulose diacetate tow has a very powerful filtering function. In the production process, the main operating units are dissolution, high efficiency filtration, spinning, crimping, drying, wire swaying, packing, acetone, recovery and distillation units, etc. The main features of products are:

(A) Renewable, belonging to the cleaning industry;
(B) High filtration accuracy;
(C) Fit the filtration requirements for multiple industries.

From the aforesaid features we can see that the Group’s products are in line with the needs of society under sustainable development. For different filtration requirements and consumption, different process conditions are designed to produce different specifications of cellulose acetate and tows, and the experience of existing products cannot be fully applied. In addition to the experience of using existing products, it is necessary to develop relevant material parameters, equipment parameters and process parameters. The development of new products must have a certain amount of technology and experience to achieve the high production rate of new products. The technical threshold for entering this industry is very high. After years of hard work, the Company's overall technology maturity is quite high, and related products have been recognized by manufacturers in more than 30 countries.

B. Market Share (%) of Major Product Categories in the Last Two Years

The Group mainly engages in the manufacturing and sales of cellulose acetate tows. As there is no company with the same business content in Taiwan, the Group's market share is estimated by the global production of cellulose acetate tows. The Group's annual sales volume in 2020 is approximately 13,518 tons; the estimated global market share is as follows:

			Unit�thousands ton
Year	Acetate Group	Global Acetate fiber	Market Share (%)
	Acetate tow yield	Tow yield
2020	13.518	About 736,923	1.8%

C. Market Analysis of Major Product Categories

Since cellulose acetate tow entered mass production in 1962, the production of Celanese, Eastman and Rhodia (bought by the Solvay Group in 2011) accounted for the majority of the market share, all three suppliers produced their own cellulose diacetate (vinegar sheets)); after being processed into tows, the tows are supplied to major tobacco manufacturers (China Tobacco, PMI, British Anglo, Independent & Monopolies and Japan Tobacco, etc.), and have long-term stable cooperation with global tobacco manufacturers. The capacity adjustment of these three major suppliers is mainly in line with the needs of the top five tobacco manufacturers. Therefore, the expansion of production is very careful. In the past a few years, due to the growth of the Chinese cigarette population market, supply of cellulose diacetate tows are in short. Since China Tobacco has no independent technology, after many joint ventures with international giants to obtain technology, the supply and demand has gradually become more balanced. The demand and price of cigarettes are extremely affected by the booming cycle. Even if the tobacco tax is added to the tobacco control policy and the cost is transferred to consumers, cigarette price won’t decrease, but for the cellulose

-95-

diacetate tows, under the major changes in the cost structure, the price of cellulose diacetate tows is adjusted as the upstream and downstream prices are adjusted.

At present, the global production of cellulose diacetate tows is about 730.7 thousand tons; the end products are massively used in cigarette filters. According to the report issued from the Research Center of Zhiyan Consulting Group, the global sales price of pharmaceutical cellulose diacetate tows industry in 2018 is about US$ 4.402 billion. By the end of 2023, the growth will reach over US$ 4.811 billion. It is obvious that the market demand will continue to grow in the future.

D. Strengths and weaknesses of development
Independent production technology and customized services

The Group has been in the field of chemical fibers for many years. It has professional technology of cellulose acetate production, such as spinning winding, acetone recovery and other equipment and technologies. According to the customer's request for new products, the two parties have a tacit understanding of rapid design and development of products; significantly shorten customer communication time, speed up the joint development of new products, assist customers to launch new products as soon as possible, and seize market opportunities. The Group has a long-standing relationship with major customers and has successfully gained the trust and recognition from its customers with its stable and excellent product quality and the advantage of perfect service.

Establish a good relationship with customers and provide perfect services to them.

The Group has a long-standing relationship with major customers and is able to communicate directly with customers to understand their actual needs and produce high-quality products with

-96-

superior process technology. Meanwhile, in addition to maintaining existing customers, the Group has successfully developed orders from many filter rods manufacturers. It is obvious that the product quality has been affirmed by large customers.

3.Emphasis on elite recruitment and develop independent technology

The Group pays great attention on the independent training of elites and regards them as an important strategy for long-term operation. With advanced acetate tows production technical capabilities in various specifications and excellent R & D team, in-depth study the development of more products with special specifications that can meet the diverse needs of end customers. The Group also applied for a number of patents in R&D technology. Through the establishment of national patent certification, develop independent technology to enhance technical competitiveness and leading edge.

E. Favorable and Unfavorable Factors in the Long Term

1. Favorable factors

(1) Production technology patents, independent R&D capabilities and high barriers to capital access

The key technologies of the Group are the production technologies, patents and independent R&D capability of cellulose diacetate and tows, which have certain barriers to access. The Group has intensively studied for many years with rich experience in technology, such as R&D of the industry-leading special-specification acetate tows equipment and technology that can meet the product requirements of different end customers.

The production technologies of cellulose diacetate tows are intensive, the process technology and product output yield decide the production cost. The Group's products have high yield and stable quality; the experienced R&D and production personnel regularly observe and adjust the acetate tows producing process and related machine programs to maintain high production yield and reduce production cost. In addition, mass production will reduce the unit input cost and expenses.

The production technology of cellulose diacetate tows is becoming more and more important to the industry, and the amount of capital investment is also increasing. The capitalintensive nature of manufacturing acetate tows is becoming more and more obvious. The Group has advanced acetate tows manufacturing R&D technology and equipment, the quality and technology is deeply affirmed by international manufacturers that make other new players in this field more difficult to access this field.

-97-

(2) Growth of the filter market from emerging economies

Global cellulose diacetate tows are mainly used in cigarette filters. Although the aforesaid cigarette market has a long-term growth and affects the demand of filters, but, not all cigarettes have front filters, especially unfiltered cigarettes are more common in emerging economies, mainly due to lower health awareness and income, and the cigarette filter is considered the reason of affecting the taste of smokers. Nowadays, due to the increasing income of emerging economies and rising health awareness, except the governments still work with the World Health Organization (WHO) to strengthen tobacco control measures, consumers and manufacturers mostly agree that adding filters to cigarettes and increasing the cigarette filter lengthen can reduce the inhale of harmful substances, so the current demand for cellulose diacetate tows in emerging markets such as Eastern Europe, Africa, Middle East and Latin America is still increasing as filter demand increases.

(3) Wide range of cellulose acetate applications

With its high added value of products and good market prospect, the Group, by utilizing the understanding on the characteristics of cellulose acetate and the R&D of various fiber materials, has begun to develop other applications of cellulose acetate, such as sewage treatment process application, biomedical products or other derivative products, and expands product application scope.

(4) Maintaining long-term stable partnership with customers

The Group's products are produced per customers-demanded new products or under customized production according to customer needs. The Group has a long-standing relationship with major customers, established a good understanding with customers, and has successfully obtained the trustfulness and affirmation from customers by the advantage of stable and excellent product quality.

Unfavorable factors and countermeasures
(1) Impact from tobacco control measures

At present, the largest application area of cellulose acetate in the world is still the cigarette filters. As the cigarette market is affected by enactments, such as cigarette health donation tax and indoor smoking prohibition, the cigarette market trend is fair in the developing countries, and shows recession in the developed countries such as the United States, Western Europe and Japan are showing recession.

Countermeasures

Through the experience of internationally renowned exhibitions and past transacting

-98-

experiences with emerging economies, the Group develops the profitable markets in Africa, Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia (excluding China) or the markets in other low income countries through the agent services worldwide. In addition, it also strengthens other applications of cellulose acetate, such as the R&D of hollow fiber membranes.

(2) The risk of rising wage costs in Mainland China

The Group's main production base is located in Mainland China. In recent years, Mainland China provinces have continuously raised labor wages and benefits, resulting in the increase in labor costs for enterprises. Due to the improvement of education standard and income level in Mainland China, supply of labor force in there has been decreasing, caused by the change of social value; and the Group has gradually increased its recruitment and production costs. Countermeasures

In facing the trend of rising wages in China, the Group will continue to improve production line planning, process management and import of high-performance equipment to further reduce manpower, increase output efficiency and yield and reduce production cost to reduce the production cost in response; and strengthen employee work training to upgrade work efficiency, reduce the impact of rising labor cost on business operation.

7.6 Analysis of Risk Management

7.6.1 Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures

(1) Interest rate

The Group's bank interest income for 2019 and 2020 were NT$ 2,833,000 and NT$ 1,778,000 respectively, which account for 0.13% and 0.08% of the combined net operating income for the respective year; the bank interest expenses were NT$ 6,625,000 and NT$ 3,993,000 respectively, which account for 0.30% and 0.17% of the combined net operating income ratio of the respective year; the impact on the Company's revenue and profit is rare. As the Group's credit is good and the relationship with banks is well, the Group has obtained sufficient bank line of credit; the change in the interest rate of the Group is still controllable to the Group's operating profit and the balance risk, which won’t have significant impact.

(2) Foreign exchange rates

Most of the Group's products are for export. The selling trades are mostly made in US dollars. The buying trades are made both in US dollars and CNY respectively. Although the receivables offset will have certain hedging effect, but the main trading place is in Mainland China where the functional currency is CNY, therefore, the local daily expenses need to be exchanged for CNY and there is still exchange gains and losses made therefor. Overall speaking, the exchange rate changes have a certain degree of impact on the Group's revenue and profit. The net exchange gains (losses) of the Group for 2019 and 2020 were (16,503,000) and (26,365,000), the net exchange gains (losses) in 2019 and 2020 account for 0.76% and 1.12% of the net operating income and (4.36%) and (4.77%) for the pre-tax net profit ratio respectively. Due to the depreciation of US dollar in 2020, the Group's sales income mainly received in US dollars, which generates exchange losses. However, due to the conversion of the Cayman statement, there is a conversion benefit. The impact of currency exchange rate on the Group's operating condition is limited.

(3) Inflation

The Group's past profit and loss weren’t significantly affected by inflation. The Group will timely pay attention on market price fluctuation and maintain good

-120-

interaction with customers and suppliers. If the purchase cost increases due to inflation, the Group will also adjust the sales price appropriately to reduce the impact on the Group's operation.

Cayman’s lawyers remind the following provisions in accordance with the Cayman laws: The Cayman Company Act does not allow the specific specification for the lawsuit procedure derived from the minority shareholders launching lawsuit against the directors in Cayman courts. The Articles of Association is not a contract between the shareholders and the directors, but is the agreement between the shareholders and the company, even though the Articles of Association allows the minority shareholders to launch derivative lawsuits against the directors, Cayman's lawyers believe that the content will not be able to bind the directors. However, under common law, all shareholders (including minority shareholders) have right to launch derivative lawsuits (including litigation against directors) regardless of their shareholding or shareholding period. Once the shareholder sues, the Cayman court will have full discretion to decide whether the shareholder can continue the lawsuit or not. In other words, the Articles of Association of the company stipulates that minority shareholders (or shareholders with the required shareholding ratio or shareholding period) can launch lawsuits against the director for the company, but whether the lawsuit can continue or not depends on Cayman court’s decision. According to the relevant judgment of the Cayman Grand Court, when considering whether to approve the continuation of derivative

-135-

proceedings or not, the applicable criterion is whether or not the Cayman court believes and accepts that the plaintiff’s request on behalf of the company is superficial and the claimed illegal activity is made by the party that can control the company, and the controller can prevent the company from litigating it. The Cayman Court will judge the lawsuit on a case-by-case basis (although the court may refer to the company's Articles of Association regulations, this is not a decisive factor). Under Cayman law, the Board of Directors shall decide on its behalf (instead of individual directors) on behalf of the company. Therefore, the directors shall, under the Articles of Association regulations, authorize any director to launch lawsuit against the other directors on behalf of the company. The Cayman Company Act does not give shareholders a clear request for a director to convene a Board of Directors to specify the specific matters. However, the Cayman Companies Act does not prohibit companies from establishing provisions relating to the Board of Directors proceedings at the Articles of Association (including the requirements for Board of Directors meetings). Therefore, with reference to Article 214 of ROC Company Act regarding the request of minority shareholders to launch lawsuit against directors, the Articles of Association of the company may require the shareholders to request the convening of Board of Directors to resolve specific matters (i.e., launch the lawsuit against the directors) in accordance with Article 48.3.	proceedings or not, the applicable criterion is whether or not the Cayman court believes and accepts that the plaintiff’s request on behalf of the company is superficial and the claimed illegal activity is made by the party that can control the company, and the controller can prevent the company from litigating it.

Managers shall be subject to the same liability for damages as company directors when performing company duties." Cayman’s lawyers are remind the following provisions in accordance with the Cayman enactments: Under Cayman law, the director's company liability can be broadly divided into common law responsibilities (i.e. professional competence, attention and diligence) and loyalty obligations. However, the directors are legally obligated under the provisions of various laws and, in certain circumstances, also have obligations to third parties (such as creditors). If the company is or may be unable to pay off, the directors shall consider the interests of the creditors when performing their duties. In addition, regarding the provisions of the directors' interests as the company's income, Cayman's lawyers believe that such regulations are uncertain and too general, so they have doubts about their enforceability. For example, whether or not a director's breach of obligation is left to the court to finalize and how to define the benefit (and the period in which it benefits)? Cayman's lawyers also believe that this Article does not limit the director's responsibilities. Directors are still subject to various statutory, common law and fiduciaryduties under Cayman law.

Opinion

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.

-138-

Key audit matters of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:

Occurrence of Operating Revenue Recognize in Substantial Growth of Customers Sales

At the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group’s revenue increased compare to the year ended December 31, 2019. In 2020, among part of the Group’s customers have substantial growth in operating revenue than previous year. We, therefore, consider the recognition of operating revenue growth with customers sales, which have substantial growth in operating revenue than previous year as a key audit matter. Please refer to Notes 4 and 22 to the consolidated financial statements for the relevant accounting policy.

The key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:

We obtained on understanding of the Group’s policies procedures and internal controls for revenue recognition and tested the effectiveness and efficiency of operations of the key controls over the occurrence of revenue recognize.
We analyzed the sales customers, which mentioned above, with the reason for the change in operating revenue.
We selected the sample transactions of the sales customers, which mentioned above, in the sales records for substantive tests and confirmed them with the supporting shipping documents, and verified the collection after the reporting period.
We inspected any major sales return and discount within the sales customer after the reporting period.

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 the 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 members of the audit committee are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

-139-

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

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

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

-140-

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 audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Tung-Feng Lee and Yao-Ling Huang.

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 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 the financial instruments and investment properties which are measured at fair value.

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 the 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 the 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;
2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; 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.

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

d. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (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.

-150-

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

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 Company 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 Company.

See Note 12, Tables 6 and 7 for the detailed information of subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).

e. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

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

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

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Company and the other entities in the Group (including subsidiaries and branches in other countries that use currency which are different from the currency of the Company) 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 Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate).

f. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work in progress 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.

-151-

g. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.

The depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using 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 effects of any changes in the estimates 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.

h. Investment properties

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

Investment properties are measured initially 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.

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.

i. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use asset

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and right-of-use asset, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated 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.

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

j. Financial instruments

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

-152-

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) 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 fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

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

a) Measurement category

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at FVTOCI.

i. 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 assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, other current financial assets and refundable deposits, are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined using 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 a financial asset, expect for:

i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and
ii) Financial assets that are not credit impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.

Cash equivalents include time deposits 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.

-153-

ii. 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 as 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, it 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.

b) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables).

The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for accounts receivable. For all other financial instruments, 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 a 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.

Expected credit losses 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.

For internal credit risk management purposes, the Group determines that internal or external information show that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors indicate that a financial asset is in default.

The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account.

c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

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 difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through loss.

-154-

2) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

3) Financial liabilities

a) Subsequent measurement

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

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when such financial liabilities are either held for trading or are designated as at FVTPL. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 27.

b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

4) Convertible bonds

The conversion option component of the convertible bonds issued by the Group, which will be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments, is classified as a derivative financial liability.

On initial recognition, the derivative financial liability component of the convertible bonds is recognized at fair value, and the initial carrying amount of the non-derivative financial liability component is determined by deducting the amount of the derivative financial liability component from the fair value of the hybrid instrument as a whole. In subsequent periods, the non-derivative financial liability component of the convertible bonds is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The derivative financial liability component is measured at fair value, and the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. Transaction costs that relate to the issuance of the convertible notes are allocated to the derivative financial liability component and the non-derivative financial liability component in proportion to their relative fair values.

k. Revenue recognition

The Group identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

-155-

Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of cellulose acetate tow and cellulose acetate. Sales of cellulose acetate tow and cellulose acetate are recognized as revenue when the goods are shipped because it is the time when the customer has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently.

l. Leasing

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

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.

Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) 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.

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 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.

m. 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.

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

n. Government grants

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

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.

-156-

o. 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

The Group participates in the local government pension plans in accordance with local regulations, contributing pension regularly to the government according to a certain percentage of the employee’s salary. Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses for the current period when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

p. Taxation

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

1) Current tax

According to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Enterprise Income Tax Law, the tax rate is 25%. Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd (China) of the Group has acquired the High-tech Enterprise Certificate in 2018; Acetek Material Co., Ltd (China) of the Group has acquired the High-tech Enterprise Certificate in 2019. The applicable tax rate for both companies is 15%. The High-tech Enterprise Certificate of Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd (China) and Acetek Material Co., Ltd (China) will expire in November 2021 and November 2022. Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 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 carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

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 assets 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 liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are 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, the carrying amounts of such assets are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale.

-157-

3) Current and deferred taxes for the year

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

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, estimates 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.

8. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

Non-current Foreign investments Unlisted shares Ordinary shares - ELEUNG LIMITED		December	31
		2020 $ 25,829	2019 $ 31,716

The Group holds 25% of the ordinary shares of ELEUNG LIMITED. However, according to the shareholders’ agreement, the owner shareholders shall have the control in the composition of company’s board of directors, moreover, the Group has no authority to participate in the investee’s financial and operating policy decisions; therefore, the investment is not accounted for as an associated company.

These investments in equity instruments 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.

9. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTIZED COST

Current Domestic investments Time deposits with original maturities of more than 3 months		December	31
		2020 $ 4,865	2019 $ 98,106

a. The ranges of interest rates for time deposits with original maturities of more than 3 months were approximately 0.40%-1.85% and 1.69%-2.85% per annum as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
b. Refer to Note 29 for information relating to investments in financial assets at amortized cost pledged as security.

The Group takes advance payments for the sales of goods through letters of credit. The credit period of sales of goods was between 30 and 180 days. No interest was charged on trade and notes receivable. The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group uses other publicly available financial information or its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on accounts receivable are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to the 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 forecasted direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base.

The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivable based on the Group’s provision matrix.

Independent valuation		December 31	December 31
		2020 $ 101,897	2019 $ 100,220

The fair values of a single investment property with a carrying amount at least 20% of the paid-in capital at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were based on the valuations carried out on January 28, 2021 and March 9, 2020, respectively, by independent qualified professional valuer, Mr. Ming-Hun Tsai, from Zhan-Mao Real Estate Appraisal Firm and Mr. Yi-chuan Chang, from Da-Hua Real Estate Appraisal Firm, a Certified Real Estate Appraiser in the ROC.

The fair value of investment properties, except for undeveloped land, was measured using the income approach. The significant assumptions used are as follows:

Expected future cash inflows Expected future cash outflows Expected future cash inflows, net Discount rates		December 31	December 31
		2020 $ 217,877 (8,342) $ 209,535 5.38%	2019 $ 262,310 (5,841) $ 256,469 6%

The market rentals in the area where the investment property is located were between RMB7.758 per square meter. The market rentals for comparable properties were between RMB7 and RMB9 per square meter.

The investment property has 1 floor above ground level, and the floor had been leased out under operating leases. The rental income generated for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $4,289 thousand and $4,479 thousand, respectively.

The future cash inflows expected 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 rate, 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 time deposit interest rate for 1-year period; there was no disposal value since after the land lease expires, no land owner will be paid back the above-ground houses. The expected future cash outflows incurred by investment properties included the expenditures such as enterprise-establishing brokerage fee, related taxes and management costs, insurance premiums and maintenance costs. These expenditures were extrapolated on the basis of the current level of expenditures, taking into account the future adjustments.

The discount rate of 5.38% was determined using the interest rate for 1-year time deposits as posted by The People’s Bank of China of 1.75% and long-term interest rate of 4.75% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The discount rate was first calculated by using 50% of funds and borrowing for capitalization rate of 3.215%, then calculated by liquidity, risk, appreciation and the difficulty on management.

-166-

The discount rate of 6% was determined using the interest rate for 3-year time deposits as posted by The People’s Bank of China of 2.75% and any asset-specific risk premiums of 3.25% for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Group has free hold interests in all of its investment properties. The investment properties pledged as collateral for bank borrowings are set out in Note 29.

h. Employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors and supervisors

Company is able to increase the amount of profit, it accrues directors’ remuneration at a rate of no more than 3% of the profit of the year.

26. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it has the necessary financial resources and operating plans to meet the working capital, capital expenditure and debt repayment requirements for the next 12 months, and that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

Key management personnel of the Group review the capital structure on a regular 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, the number of new shares issued or repurchased, and/or the amount of new debt issued or existing debt redeemed.

c. Categories of financial instruments

Financial assets Financial assets at amortized cost (Note 1) Financial assets at FVTOCI Equity instruments Financial liabilities Financial liabilities at amortized cost (Note 2) Financial liabilities at FVTPL	December 31
	2020 2019 $ 1,625,587 $ 1,218,478 25,829 31,716 1,359,777 1,137,946 82,938 46,300

1) The balances include financial assets at amortized cost, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts receivable, other receivables, other current assets (pledged deposits) and refundable deposits.
2) The balances include financial liabilities at amortized cost, which comprise short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts and other payables, bonds issued and guarantee deposit received.
d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, debt investments, accounts receivable, borrowings, accounts payable and bonds payable. 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 seeks to minimize 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 board of directors, which provided 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. The Group did not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below).

There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency risk

Several subsidiaries have foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposes the Group to foreign currency risk. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilizing foreign exchange forward contracts.

-181-

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) and of the derivatives exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 32.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to the USD.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in the RMB (i.e. the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and representing management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates is 1%. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates a decrease in pre-tax profit and other equity associated with the RMB strengthening 1% against the relevant currency. For a 1% weakening of the RMB against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances below would be negative.

Profit or loss	USD Impact
	For the Year Ended December 31
	2020 2019 $ 8,609 $ 3,786

The above impact was mainly attributable to the exposure on outstanding receivables and payables in USD which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

In the management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is not representative of the inherent foreign currency risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the period.

b) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates.

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

Fair value interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities	December 31
	2020 2019 $ 4,865 $ 233,253 1,044,527 741,374 922,624 520,584 - 14,990

-182-

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of each liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 100 basis points 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 increased/decreased by $9,226 thousand and $5,056 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates of its variable-rate bank deposits and borrowings.

c) Price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in equity securities. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than for trading purposes, the Group does not actively trade these investments.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the year. If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019 would have increased/decreased by $258 thousand and $317 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the 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 the counterparty to discharge its obligation, could be equal to the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.

In order to mitigate credit risk, the management of the Group assigns a team responsible for credit facilities, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are taken for the recovery of overdue receivables. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of the receivables on the date of the financial statements to ensure that receivables that cannot be recovered have been provided with allowance for impairment loss. Accordingly, the management reckons that the credit risk of the Group has been significantly reduced.

Accounts receivable cover a wide range of customers and are spread across different industries and geographic regions. The Company continuously evaluates the financial position of customers.

In addition, since the counterparty of current funds are financial institutions and companies with good credit ratings, the credit risk is limited.

The Group transacts with a large number of unrelated customers and, thus, no concentration of credit risk was observed.

-183-

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.

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities as set out in (c) below.

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

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table included both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

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

December 31, 2020

Non-derivative financial liabilities Non-interest bearing Fixed interest rate liabilities December 31, 2019 Non-derivative financial liabilities Non-interest bearing Variable interest rate liabilities Fixed interest rate liabilities	On Demand or Less than 1 Month $ 84,862 557,004 $ 641,866 On Demand or Less than 1 Month $ 102,248 14,990 165,384 $ 282,622	1-3 Months $ 53,781 - $ 53,781 1-3 Months $ 127,139 - 89,940 $ 217,079	3 Months to 1 Year $ 141,465 - $ 141,465 3 Months to 1 Year $ 155,175 - 529,980 $ 685,155	1-5 Years $ 35,889 600,000 $ 635,889 1-5 Years $ - - - $ -	Total $ 315,997 1,157,004
					$ 1,473,001
					Total $ 384,562 14,990 785,304
					$ 1,184,856

The amount of the variable interest rate liabilities will vary depending on the floating interest rate and the interest rate estimated on the reporting date.

-184-

b) Liquidity risk table for derivative financial liabilities

The following table details the Group’s liquidity analysis of its derivative financial instruments. The table is based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amount payable or receivable is not fixed, the amount disclosed is determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by the yield curves at the end of the year.
