Advantech Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and Independent Auditors’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Advantech Co., Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advantech Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six months periods then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as 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 International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As disclosed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of some non-significant subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph were not reviewed. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$8,133,463 thousand and NT$7,992,045 thousand, respectively, representing 15.51% and 16.06%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and the combined total liabilities of these subsidiaries were NT$1,944,201 thousand and NT$1,889,015 thousand, respectively, representing 9.03% and 9.11%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities; for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the amounts of combined comprehensive income of these subsidiaries were NT$180,244 thousand, NT$251,772 thousand, NT$185,869 thousand, and NT$516,101 thousand, respectively, representing 8.34%, 12.55%, 5.49% and 13.27%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income. Also, as stated in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$3,324,030 thousand and NT$2,623,911 thousand as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The equities in profit and loss of the associates were NT$70,907 thousand, NT$37,647 thousand, NT$53,000 thousand and NT$42,596 thousand, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net income for the three

months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and these investment amounts as well as additional disclosures in Note 32 “Information on Investees” were based on the investees’ unreviewed financial statements for the sames reporting periods as those of the Company.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our reviews, except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of the non-significant subsidiaries and investees that are accounted for using the equity method as described in the preceding paragraph been reviewed, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Jr-Shian Ke and Kwan-Chung Lai.

ADVANTECH CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise) (Reviewed, Not Audited)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Advantech Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) is a listed company that was established in September 1981. It manufactures and sells embedded computing boards, industrial automation products and applied and industrial computers.

The Company’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since December 1999.

To improve the entire operating efficiency of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), the Company’s board of directors resolved on June 30, 2009 to have a short-form merger with Advantech Investment and Management Service (“AIMS”). The effective merger date was July 30, 2009. As the surviving entity, the Company assumed all assets and liabilities of AIMS. On June 26, 2014, the Company’s board of directors resolved to have a whale-minnow merger with Netstar Technology Co., Ltd. (“Netstar”), an indirectly 95.51%-owned subsidiary through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Advantech Corporate Investment. The effective merger date was July 27, 2014. As the surviving entity, the Company assumed all assets and liabilities of Netstar.

The functional currency of the Company is the New Taiwan dollar.

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s board of directors July 31, 2020.

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

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

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

1) Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business”

The Group applies the amendments to IFRS 3 to transactions that occur on or after January 1, 2020. The amendments require that for an entity to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. To judge whether the acquired process is substantive, there will be different judgement requirements depending on whether there is output on the acquisition date. In addition, the amendments introduce an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether or not an acquired set of activities and assets is a business.

  • 10 -

  • 2) Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material”

The Group adopted the amendments starting from January 1, 2020. The threshold for materiality influencing users has been changed to “could reasonably be expected to influence” and, therefore, the disclosures in the consolidated financial report have been adjusted and immaterial information that may obscure material information has been deleted.

  • b. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

Effective Date New IFRSs Announced by IASB (Note 1) “Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020” January 1, 2022 (Note 2) Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework” January 1, 2022 (Note 3) Amendments to IFRS 4 “Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Effective immediately upon Applying IFRS 9” promulgation by the IASB Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets To be determined by IASB between An Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture” IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” January 1, 2023 Amendments to IFRS 17 January 1, 2023 Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or January 1, 2023 Non-current” Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds January 1, 2022 (Note 4) before Intended Use” Amendments to IAS 37 “Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a January 1, 2022 (Note 5) Contract”

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

  • Note 2: The amendments to IFRS 9 are applied prospectively to modifications and exchanges of financial liabilities that occur on or after the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IAS 41 “Agriculture” are applied prospectively to the fair value measurements on or after the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IFRS 1 “First-time Adoptions of IFRSs” are applied retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

  • Note 3: The amendments are applicable to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

  • Note 4: The amendments are applicable to property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

  • Note 5: The amendments are applicable to contracts for which the entity has not yet fulfilled all its obligations on January 1, 2022.

  • 1) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments stipulate that, when the Group sells or contributes assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.

  • 11 -

Conversely, when the Group sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the Group’s interest as an unrelated investor in the associate or joint venture, i.e., the Group’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business but retains significant influence or joint control over an associate or a joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the Group’s interest as an unrelated investor in the associate or joint venture, i.e., the Group’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.

2) Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”

The amendments clarify that for a liability to be classified as non-current, the Group shall assess whether it has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If such rights are in existence at the end of the reporting period, the liability is classified as non-current regardless of whether the Group will exercise that right. The amendments also clarify that, if the right to defer settlement is subject to compliance with specified conditions, the Group must comply with those conditions at the end of the reporting period even if the lender does not test compliance until a later date.

The amendments stipulate that, for the purpose of liability classification, the aforementioned settlement refers to a transfer of cash, other economic resources or the Group’s own equity instruments to the counterparty that results in the extinguishment of the liability. However, if the terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by a transfer of the Group’s own equity instruments, and if such option is recognized separately as equity in accordance with IAS 32: Financial Instruments: Presentation, the aforementioned terms would not affect the classification of the liability.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements.

  • b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

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

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

  • 12 -

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

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

  • c. 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. 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 7 and 8 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including the percentages of ownership and main businesses).

  • d. Other significant accounting policies

Except for the following, please refer to significant accounting policies to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

1) Retirement benefits

Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

  • 2) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period's pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

  • 3) 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 are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

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 are received.

The benefit of a government loan received at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant measured as the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION

UNCERTAINTY

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

The Group considers the economic implications of the COVID-19 when making its critical accounting estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Write-down of inventories

The net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value is based on current market conditions and historical experience with product sales of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of the net realizable value.

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

Trade Receivables

The average credit period of the sales of goods was 30-90 days. No interest was charged on trade receivables. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to the past default experience of the customer, the customer’s current financial position and economic condition of the industry in which the customer operates. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience shows different loss patterns for different customer geographical segments, the Group adopts different approaches to prepare the provision matrix for loss allowance based on past due status of the Group’s different geographical customer base, and sets out the expected credit loss rate for trade receivable that are overdue and based on geographical economic conditions.

  • 17 -

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g., when the debtor has been placed under liquidation, or when the trade receivables are over 1 year past due, whichever occurs earlier. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

Under the dividends policy, where the Company made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for distribution of dividends and bonus to shareholders. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors, refer to employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors in Note 21, d.

  • 29 -

The Company operates in an industry related to computers, and its business related to network servers is new but with significant potential for growth. Thus, in formulating its dividends policy, the Company takes into account the overall business and industry conditions and trends, the sustainability of the Company’s growth, its objective of enhancing the shareholders’ long-term interests, and stable operation in line with its performance goal. The policy also requires that share dividends be less than 75% of total dividends to retain internally generated cash within the Company to finance future capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

An appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve should be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Items referred to under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs” should be appropriated to or reversed from a special reserve by the Company.

The appropriations of earnings, for 2019 and 2018 which have been approved in the shareholders’ meetings on May 28, 2020 and on May 28, 2019, respectively, were as follows:

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

Derivatives held by the Group were foreign currency forward contracts, whose fair values were calculated using discounted cash flow. Future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.

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

The fair values of unlisted equity securities - ROC were under the asset approach. In this approach, the fair value of net assets was used to capture the present value of the expected future economic benefits.

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies

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

The Group sought to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives was governed by the Group’s policies approved by the board of directors, which provided written principles on foreign exchange 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 was reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Group did not enter into or trade financial instrument, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

The Corporate Treasury function reports quarterly to the board of directors on the Group’s current derivative instrument management.

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). The Group entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk.

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

a) Foreign currency risk

The Group undertook operating activities and investment of foreign operations denominated in foreign currencies, which exposed it to foreign currency risk. The Group manages the risk that fluctuations in foreign currency could have on foreign-currency denominated assets and future cash flow by entering into a variety of derivative financial instruments, which allow the Group to mitigate but not fully eliminate the effect.

The maturities of the Company’s forward contracts were less than six months. These forward exchange contracts did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) are set out in Note 31. As for the carrying amounts of derivatives exposing to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, refer to Note 7.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar, euro and renminbi.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase in New Taiwan dollars (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 5%.

  • 46 -

The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 5% change in exchange rates.

The range of the sensitivity analysis included cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit associated with New Taiwan dollar weakening 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% strengthening of the New Taiwan dollar against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit, and the balances below would be negative.

  • Note 2: This was mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on euro-denominated cash, trade receivables, and trade payables, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

  • Note 3: This was mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on renminbi-denominated cash, trade receivables and trade payables, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

  • b) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group maintain both floating and fixed interest rates of bank deposits and borrowings. The Group does not operate hedging instruments for interest rates. The Group’s management monitors fluctuations in market interest rates regularly. If it is needed, the management might perform necessary procedures for significant interest rate risks to control the risks from fluctuations in market interest rates.

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

December 31,
June 30, 2020
2019
June 30, 2019

Financial liabilities 111,425 129,167 138,178
  • 47 -

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50-basis point increase or decrease was 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 50 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 would have increased by $7,769 thousand and $10,999 thousand, respectively. Had interest rates been 50 basis points lower, the effects on the Group’s pre-tax profit would have been of the same amounts but negative. The source of the negative effects would have been mainly the floating-interest rates on bank savings and borrowings.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. The Group manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. The Group’s equity price risk was mainly concentrated on equity instruments trading in the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices had been 1% higher, pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 would have increased by $2,991 thousand and $1,553 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 would have increased by $17,008 thousand and $14,336 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI. Had equity prices been 1% lower for the same year, the pre-tax profit and other comprehensive income would have decreased by the same respective amounts.

The Group’s sensitivity to equity prices increased mainly because of its increase in financial assets investment in 2020.

2) Credit risk

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

Trade receivables consisted of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas and, thus, no concentration of credit risk was observed.

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.

  • 48 -

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Group had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities set out in section (c) below.

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows as well as matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

a) Liquidity and interest risk rate 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 tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows. 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 agreed repayment dates.

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