  2. (1) If there has been an after tax loss in an individual or stand-alone financial report for the last three years, the name and remuneration of the "director and supervisor" shall be disclosed separately, except for the "note 1" if the individual or standalone financial report for the last three years has generated after tax net profit and is sufficient to cover the accumulated loss.

  3. (2) A Company with Directors whose shareholding percentages have been insufficient for three (3) or more consecutive months during the most recent fiscal year shall disclose the remuneration of individual Directors. A Company with Supervisors whose shareholding percentages have been insufficient for three (3) or more consecutive months during the most recent fiscal year shall disclose the remuneration of individual Supervisors.

[Note 3]

  5. (4) If the total amount of remuneration received by all the directors and supervisors of a company from all the companies listed in its financial statements exceeds two (2) percent of its net income after taxes, and the amount of remuneration received by any individual director or supervisor exceeds NT$ 15 million, the company shall disclose the amount of remuneration paid to individual directors or supervisors.

  11. [Note 3] for example, taking the annual report of 2009 prepared for the 2010 shareholders' meeting as an example, if the average pledged ratio of all directors in each month is greater than 50% in February, May and August of 2009 during the period of 2009, the remuneration of individual directors with the pledged ratio greater than 50% in February, May and August of 2009 should be disclosed; in addition, in the event that the average pledged ratio of a supervisor is greater than 50% in any three months, the remuneration of an individual supervisor whose pledged ratio is greater than 50% in each such month shall be disclose.

(VI) Company's dividend policy and implementation thereof

1. The Company's Dividend Policy: According to Article 26 and 26-1 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation: Annual earnings shall be allocated as such: a minimum of 0.5% to employee bonus and a maximum of 3% to remuneration paid to Directors and Supervisors. Unless losses have been covered, the Company shall not make distribution of surplus profit. Retained earnings shall be withheld as capital reserve. Parties eligible to receive the said compensation in the form of stock or cash shall include employees in affiliated companies who met certain conditions. If there is any annual profit, the Company shall first pay out income tax, offset its losses in previous years and set aside a legal reserve at 10% of the earnings left over, until the accumulated legal reserve has equaled the total capital of the Company; then set aside or reverse special reserve if needed by the Company's operation or in accordance with relevant laws or regulations. If there is still remaining profit and beginning undistributed earnings, the Board of Directors shall propose earnings distribution to the shareholders' meeting for resolution.

According to governing authorities, factors such as allowances for decline in value of long-term investment and cumulative translation adjustments contribute to the deduction of shareholders’ equity. Before allocating retained earnings, the same amount of earnings shall be reserved as special reserve on the grounds of the deduction of shareholders’ equity.

  • (1) If the deduction of shareholders’ equity is resulted from the current year, the special reserve withheld shall not exceed the aggregate of net income after tax and previous year’s accumulated undistributed dividend.

  • (2) If the deduction of shareholders’ equity is resulted from the previous year, it shall not exceed the amount derived from deducting item (1) from the previous year’s accumulated undistributed dividend.

  • (3) For the subsequent decrease in the deduction amount to stockholders’ equity, any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent which the net debit balance reverses.

According to Article 27, corporate’s dividend policy could be adjusted in accordance with the scale of business operation and for the need of cash flow. Cash dividend shall account for over 10% of the shares distributed to shareholders. The distribution of stock dividend, in general, accounts for over 70% of the operating profit after tax. Distribution could also be adjusted in accordance with business performance (e.g. exchange gains or losses).

2. Implementation of Dividend Allocation in Shareholders’ Meeting:

  • In 2019, a total of NT$1,608,574,410 retained earnings can be allocated. Cash dividend allocated to shareholders is at a value of NT$1.2 per share, totaling to NT$166,284,768.

(Note: Remuneration of Directors and Supervisors totaling to NT$11,000,000 and Employees' Compensation totaling to NT$31,973,000).

  • (VII) The Impact of Stock Dividend Distribution to Business Performance and Earnings Per Share:

losses have been covered, the Company shall not make distribution of surplus profit. Retained earnings shall be withheld as capital reserve. Parties eligible to receive the said compensation in the form of stock or cash shall include employees in affiliated companies who met certain conditions.

2. The basis for estimating the amount of compensation to employees, Directors, and Supervisors and for calculating the number of shares to be distributed as employees' compensation, and the accounting treatment of the discrepancy, if any, between the actual distributed amount and the estimate for the current period:

  • (1) The amount allocated to 2019 employees' compensation and remuneration of Directors and Supervisors was NT$42,973 thousand based on a certain percentage of 2019 profit and factors such as legal reserve specified in Articles of Association and listed under estimates for operating costs and operating expenses in the current year.

In 2019, the depreciation of the US dollar caused exchange losses and reduction in profits.

  2. Debt-to-asset ratio decreased in 2019 compared to 2018 is due to the disposal of USD fixed deposit and bonds in 2019 for payback of all NTD loans.

  3. Current ratio, quick ratio, total asset turnover rate and cash flow ratio increased in 2019 compared to 2018 is due to the disposal of USD fixed deposit and bonds in 2019 for payback of all NTD loans.

  4. Cash reinvestment ratio decreased in 2019 compared to 2018 is due to the increase in cash dividends issued in 2019 compared to 2018.

  5. Operating leverage increased in 2019 compared to 2018 is due to the decrease in operating profit in 2019 compared to 2018.

  5. Operating leverage increased in 2019 compared to 2018 is due to the decrease in operating profit in 2019 compared to 2018.

  6. If the Company has prepared parent company only financial statements, it shall also prepare a parent company only financial ratio analysis.

  7. If the financial information under international financial reporting standards is less than 5 years, the financial information under ROC GAAP should be prepared in table (2) below.

  8. Note 1: The fiscal years for which reports were not CPA audited or reviewed shall be noted.

  9. Note 2: As of the publication date of this annual report, a company whose stock is listed on the TWSE or traded over the counter should disclose the most recent financial information audited or attested by a CPA.

  10. Note 3: The following calculation formulas shall be listed at the end of this Table in the annual report:

  11. Financial structure

  12. (1) Liability to asset ratio = Total liabilities/Total assets.

  13. (2) Ratio of long-term capital to property, plant, and equipment = (total equity + non-current liabilities)/net amount of property, plant, and equipment.

  14. Debt-paying capability

  15. (1) Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

  16. (2) Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventory - Prepaid expenditures)/Current liabilities.

  17. (3) Interest protection multiples = Income before income tax and interest expenditure/ Interest expenditures for this period.

  18. Business capability

  19. (1) Accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable resulting from operation) turnover = Net sales/balance of average accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable resulting from operation).

  20. (2) Average collection days = 365/Receivables turnover rate.

  21. (3) Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average inventory value.

  22. (4) Payables turnover rate (including notes payable resulting from accounts payable and business operations) = Cost of good sold/Average accounts payable in various periods (including notes payable resulting from accounts payable and business operations).

  23. (5) Average sales days = 365/Inventory turnover ratio.

  24. (6) Property, Plant and Equipment Turnover = Net sales / Average of property, plant and equipment, net value.

  25. (7) Total asset turnover ratio = Net sales/Average total PP&E value.

  26. Profitability

  27. (1) Return on assets (ROA) = [Net income after income tax + Interest expenses * (1 - tax rate)]/Average total assets.

  28. (2) Equity remuneration rate = Net income after tax/Average total equity value.

  29. (3) Net profit ratio = Net income after tax/Net sales.

  30. (4) Earnings Per Share (EPS) = (Gain (loss) attributable to the owner of the parent company - Dividend for preferred shares)/Weighted average of issued shares (Note 4)

  31. Cash flow volume

  32. (1) Cash flow ratio = Net cash from business activities/Current liabilities.

  33. (2) Net cash flow adequacy ratio = Net cash flow for business activities for the last 5 years/(Capital expenses + Additional inventory sum + Cash dividend) for the past 5 fiscal years.

  34. (3) Cash re-investment ratio = (Net cash flow from business activities - Cash dividend)/(Gross amount of PP&E + Long-term investments + Other non-current assets + working capital). (Note 5)

  35. Degree of leverage:

  36. (1) Degree of operating leverage = (Net operating revenue - Variable operating costs and expenses) / Operating income (Note 6).

74

(2) Degree of Financial Leverage (DFL) = Operating profit/(Operating profit - Interest expenditures). Note 4: Special attention shall be paid to the following matters when using the formula of Earnings Per Share above:

  1. The calculation shall be based on the weighted average quantity of common shares, instead of the number of shares outstanding as of the end of the year.

  2. When calculating the weighted average shares after capital increase or treasury stock trades, their effective term shall be taken into consideration.

  3. Where retained earnings or capital surplus are transferred to common stocks, retrospective adjustment shall be made in proportion to the quantity of shares issued in calculating the semiannual or annual EPS of the year. The period for the release of such new shares may be omitted.

  4. If the preferred stock is non-convertible cumulative preferred stocks, dividend for the year (whether it is being distributed or not) shall be subtracted from net profit after income tax or added to net loss after income tax. If the preferred stock is not cumulative, dividend thereon shall be subtracted from net profit after income tax if net profit after income tax is earned, or no adjustment is required if loss arises.

  5. Note 5: Special attention should be paid to the following matters when measuring cash flow analysis:

  6. Net cash flow from operating activities refers to the net cash inflow from operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

  7. Capital expenditure refers to the cash outflow to annual capital investment.

  8. The increase in inventory is included only when the balance at the end of the period is larger than the balance at the beginning of the period. If the inventory decreases at the end of the year, it shall be calculated as zero.

  9. Cash dividends include the cash dividends paid to holders of common shares and preferred shares.

  10. Gross property, plant and equipment value are measured at the total value of property, plant and equipment prior to the subtraction of accumulated depreciation.

  11. Note 6: Issuers shall separate operating costs and operating expenses by their nature into fixed and variable categories. When estimations or subjective judgments are involved, give special attention to their reasonableness and to maintaining consistency.

  12. Note 7: In the case of a company whose shares have no par value or a par value other than NT$10, any calculations that involve paid-in capital ratio shall be replaced with the equity ratio belonging to the owner of the parent company, as shown in the balance sheet.

  1. Analysis of the change in the proportion of increase or decrease (the change in the earlier and later period is more than 20%, and the change amount is NT$ 10 million):

  2. (1) Decrease in operating profit: due to a decline in operating revenue.

  3. (2) Decrease in non-operating revenue and expenses: due to the exchange gains from the appreciation of the US dollar in 2018 and the exchange losses from the devaluation of the US dollar in 2019.

  4. (3) Decrease in net profit before tax on continuing operations: due to the decrease in operating profit as a result of the revenue decline in 2019 and the decrease in non-operating income as a result of the US dollar depreciation.

  5. (4) Decrease in income tax expenses: due to a decrease in net profit before tax.

  6. (5) Decrease in net profit in the current period: due to the decrease in operating profit as a result of the revenue decline in 2019 and the decrease in non-operating income as a result of the US dollar depreciation.

  7. (6) Decrease in the total profit and loss of the current period: due to the decrease in operating profit as a result of the revenue decline in 2019 and the decrease in non-operating income as a result of the US dollar depreciation.

  8. The expected sales volume and its basis, the possible impact on the Company's future financial business and the contingency plan.

  9. (1) Reasons for the change of main business contents of the Company (if the change is caused by the adjustment of price or cost, increase or decrease of production/marketing mix and quantity or replacement of old and new products); in the event of a material change in operating policy, market conditions, economic environment or other internal or external factors that has occurred or is expected to occur, the facts and implications of such a change and its possible impact on the Company's future financial business and its response plan: The Company still focuses on pneumatic nailers and pneumatic tools for automotive air tools, and continues to develop a series of corded and cordless to attract new customers and develop new products and expand market share.

  10. (2) The rapid spread of COVID-19 has affected private consumption and exports, affected the previously closely linked global economy, and impacted the growth predictions of various regions. It is regarded as the largest black swan this year by Moddy's. Regardless of environmental changes, the Company will continue to introduce new products to stimulate customers' purchases. The first quarter declined slightly compared with the same period last year. It is estimated that after the launch of cordless products in the mid to late this year, it is expected to gradually inject revenue. Therefore, the Company is optimistic about the revenue in 2020.

Independent AuditorsReport

To the Board of Directors of Basso Industry Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Basso Industry Corporation (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards ( “ IFRSs ” ), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”). Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

1. Revenue recognition

For the accounting policies relating to income recognition, please refer to Note 4 (m).

89

Description of key audit matter:

Part of the sales of the Company is subject to various sales terms of discount, return, warranty (according to the contract) or consignment transactions based on contractual agreements or commercial practices. So there is a risk of error in the correctness of the recognition of revenue. Therefore, the test of revenue recognition is a key audit matter.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our principal audit procedures included: Test the effectiveness of design and implementation of the internal control for sales and collection cycle. Assess whether recognition of revenue has been handled in accordance with the relevant regulations by acquiring and reading major customers' sales contracts and external purchase orders. Understand the sales revenue of the top ten sales customers by comparing the sales of last year to assess whether there are any major abnormalities. Select sales during the period before and after the cut off date, and check the relevant documents to assess the correctness of the revenue recognition timing and to understand whether there is any major return after the period.

2. Inventory evaluation

For the accounting policies of inventories, please refer to Note 4 (g); For the accounting estimates and assumptions uncertainty of inventory evaluation, please refer to Note 5; For the description of the inventory evaluation, please refer to Note 6(f).

Description of key audit matter:

The inventory of the Company is measured by the lower of cost and net realizable value. In recent years, the global market has become more active, which has led to an increase in the market demand for pneumatic nailing machines. The competition in the global market is fierce, driving the design and manufacturing technology of pneumatic nailing machines to change rapidly. The introduction of new products may change the needs of European and American brand manufacturers and individual consumers, and makes the original product as outdated or no longer meets market demand. Sales of related products may fluctuate drastically. So there is a risk that the cost of the inventory may exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, the inventory evaluation is considered as a key audit matter.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The main audit procedures for the above key audit matter include: assess the reasonableness of the inventory evaluation accounting policy. Review the inventory age report, analyze the inventory age change, and evaluate whether the inventory evaluation has been handled according to accounting policies. Understand and assess the reasonableness of the net realizable value basis adopted by the management, select samples, and check relevant documents to test the correctness of the amount. Assess whether the management's disclosure of the relevant inventory evaluation is fair and sufficient.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

90

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

’ Those charged with governance (including the supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Company s financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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

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

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

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

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

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

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

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.

91

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period 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 Chun-Yuan Wu and Shyh-Huar Kuo.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies

The accompanying financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of the English and Chinese language financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the financial statements.

  • (a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “ the Regulations ”) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C..

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • 2) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Group is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operates. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(c) Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Company entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

(Continued)

99

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

  • (i) An investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;

  • (ii) a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or

  • (iii) qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

  • (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as noncurrent.

  • (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed , in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

  • (i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  • (e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes, should be recognized as cash equivalents.

(Continued)

100

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(f) Financial instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(i) Financial assets

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

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

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

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI )

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

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

(Continued)

101

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. Trade receivables that the Company intends to sell immediately or in the near term are measured at FVTPL; however, they are included in the ‘trade receivables’ line item. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and trade receivables, other receivable, leases receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI and contract assets.

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date;and

  • other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

(Continued)

102

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company ’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.

The Company considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘investment grade which is ’ ’ considered to be BBB- or higher per Standard & Poor s, Baa3 or higher per Moody s ’ or twA or higher per Taiwan Ratings .

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than a year past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.

ECL are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECL are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • a breach of contract such as a default or being more than a year past due;

  • the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

  • it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;or

  • the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charge to profit or loss and recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset. The Company recognizes the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss.

(Continued)

103

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

5) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

1) Classification of debt or equity

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

2) Equity instrument

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

3) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss

(Continued)

104

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

  • 4) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • (g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted-average method and includes the expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less, the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

  • (h) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

  • (iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset, less, its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an items of property, plant and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • 1) buildings and structures:2~57 years

  • 2) machinery and equipment:2~21 years

  • 3) other equipment:1~21 years

(Continued)

105

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

Buildings and structures constitute mainly of building and building repair project. Each such part depreciates based on its useful life of 51~57 years and 2~56 years, respectively.

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

  • (i) Lease

Applicable from January 1, 2019

Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

- the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

- the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

- the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:

(1) the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or

(2) the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

- the customer has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or

- the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use

Leases in which the Company assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the lease asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the asset.

Other leases are operating leases and are not recognized in the Company’s balance sheets.

Payments made under operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(j) Intangible assets

  • (i) Research and measurement

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.Capital developed expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • (iii) Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • 1) Computer software:1~10 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting dateand adjusted if appropriate.

(k) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets, deferred tax assets and to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest Company of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or Company of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

(Continued)

107

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

For other assets, an impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(l) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

Warranties liability provisions are recognized when the underlying products or services are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

  • (m) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company’s main types of revenue are explained below.

1) Sale of goods

The Company manufactures and sells nail machine and pneumatic tools. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’ s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

(Continued)

108

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

2) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(n) Employee benefits

  • (i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are expensed during which services are rendered by employees.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

(iii) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(Continued)

109

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(o) Income taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

The Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatment, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS37.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction:

  • (i) Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

  • (ii) Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  • (i) the same taxable entity; or

  • (ii) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(p) Earnings per share

The Company discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding, after adjustment, for the effects of all dilutive potentially ordinary shares, such as employee compensation.

(q) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Company). The Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance regulatory reviews operating results of the operating segment. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. It recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in the accounting estimates in the following period.

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Please refer to note 6 (f) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

The Company’s accounting policies and disclosures include measuring financial and non financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

The Company establishes relevant internal control system for Fair value measuring. That include responsible for reviewing all significant fair value measurements (including level 3 fair values) by the financial management department , and reporting to management directly . The Company's financial department regularly review significant unobservable input values and adjustments.If the input value is used to measure the fair value of the use of external third-party information(such as broker or pricing service) The financial management department will evaluate evidence of support inputs provided by third-parties to ensure that the fair value level classification and evaluation in line with the provisions of IFRS.

The Company strives to use market observable inputs when measuring assets and liabilities. Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: 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).

  • Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.

A strengthening (weakening) of 3% of the USD as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 would have increased (decreased) the net profit after tax by 11,582 and 306,513 thousand.

  • 3) Foregin exchange gain and loss on monetary items

Since the Company transacts in different functional currencies, the information on foreign exchange gain (loss) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the years 2019 and 2018, the foreign exchange gain (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $174,983 and 193,677 thousand, respectively. please refer to note 6(r).

(vi) Interest rate risk

Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding assets with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of assets outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.5% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the Company management's assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.

If the interest rate had increased / decreased by 0.5 basis points, the Company’s net income would have increased / decreased by $8,500 thousand and $6,181 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with all other variable factors remaining constant. This is mainly due to the Company’s borrowing at variable rates.

(vii) Fair value of financial instruments

  • 1) Fair value hierarchy

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, derivative financial instruments used for hedging, and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (availablefor sale financial assets )is measured on a recurring basis. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including the information on fair value hierarchy were as follows; however, except as described in the following paragraphs, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is reasonably close to the fair value, and for equity investments that has no quoted prices in the active markets and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, disclosure of fair value information is not required :

Notes to the Financial Statements

  • 2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value

The Company’s valuation techniques and assumptions used for financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

Financial assets measured at amortized cost (held-to-maturity financial assets). If quoted prices in active markets are available, the market price is established as the fair value. However, if quoted prices in active markets are not available, the estimated valuation or prices used by competitors are adopted.

3) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

Non-derivative financial instruments financial instrument is regarded as being quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s-length basis. Whether transactions are taking place ‘regularly’ is a matter of judgment and depends on the facts and circumstances of the market for the instrument.

Quoted market prices may not be indicative of the fair value of an instrument if the activity in the market is infrequent, the market is not well-established, only small volumes are traded, or bid-ask spreads are very wide. Determining whether a market is active involves judgment.

Measurements of fair value of financial instruments without an active market are based on a valuation technique or quoted price from a competitor. Fair value measured by a valuation technique can be extrapolated from similar financial instruments, the discounted cash flow method, or other valuation technique including a model using observable market data at the reporting date.

  • 4) Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

There were no transfers from Level 1 to another in 2019 and 2018.

  • 5) Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement

The Company’s financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value include “ financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss – debt investments” and “fair value through other comprehensive income (available-for-sale ” financial assets) – equity investments .

The Company's equity investment instruments that are not available for active market quotes and are not for short-term trading purposes, the management adopts the recent financial report of the investee company to assess the industry development and view publicly available information, and to examine and Evaluate the operating status and future operating performance of the investee company to assess the fair value of the investee company. Generally, changes in industry and market prospects are highly positively correlated with changes in the operating and future performance of the investee company.

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

1) Accounts receivables and other receivable

The Company established a credit policy to obtain the necessary collateral to mitigate risks arising from financial loss due to default risk. The Company will transact with corporations having credit ratings equivalent to investment grade, and such ratings are provided by independent rating agencies. When it is not possible to obtain such information, the Company will assess the ratings based on other publicly available financial information and records of transactions with its major customers. The Company continuously monitors its exposure to credit risk and counterparty credit ratings, and establishes sales limits based on credit rating for each of its approved customer. The credit limits for each counterparty are approved and reviewed annually by the Risk Management Committee.

The Company did not have any collateral or other credit enhancements to avoid credit risk of financial assets.

2) Investments

The exposure to credit risk for the bank deposits, fixed income investments, and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Company’s finance department. The Company only deals with banks, other external parties, corporate organizations, government agencies and financial institutions with good credit rating. The Company expects the counterparties above to meet their obligations; hence, there is no significant credit risk arising from these counterparties.

3) Guarantee

As of December 31,2019 and 2018, there were no guarantees that were outstanding for both years.

  • (iv) Liquidity risk

The Company manages sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Its management supervises the banking facilities and ensures compliance with the terms of loan agreements.

Loans and borrowings from the bank form an important source of liquidity for the Company. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company's unused credit lines amounted to $6,250,000 thousand and $2,152,000 thousand, respectively.

(v) Market risk

Market risk is a risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, which affects the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

1) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases, and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Company’s entities, primarily US Dollars (USD).

  • 2) Interest rate risk

The Company adopts a policy of ensuring that exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings is on a floating-rate basis

3) Other market price risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk due to the investments in equity securities. This is a strategic investment and is not held for trading. The Company does not actively trade in these investments as the management of the Company minimizes the risk of holding different investment portfolios.

(u) Capital Management

The Company’s objective is to manage its capital to safeguard its capacity to continue to operate, and provide a return on shareholders, as well as to maintain the interest of other related parties, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to its shareholders, reduce the capital for redistribution to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle any liabiltiies.

The Company and other entities in the same industry use the debt-to-equity ratio to manage their capital. This ratio is the total net debt, divided by the total capital. The net debt from the balance sheet is derived from the total liabilities, less, cash and cash equivalents. The total capital and equity include share capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity, plus, net debt.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s capital management strategy is consistent with that of the prior year, and the debt to equity ratio is maintained within 50% to 100% to ensure financing at reasonable cost. The Company’s debt to equity ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:
