China Airlines, Ltd. and Subsidiaries

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and the Shareholders China Airlines, Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Airlines, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine month 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.

We did not review the financial statements of some subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group, but such statements were reviewed by other auditors. Our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements for these subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of other auditors. The total assets of these subsidiaries were NT$11,025,331 thousand and NT$13,644,652 thousand, which constituted 3.88% and 4.57% of the consolidated total assets as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the total revenue was NT$175,653 thousand, NT$2,501,275 thousand, NT$1,813,945 thousand and NT$7,406,331 thousand, which constituted 0.66%, 5.82%, 2.12% and 5.86% of the consolidated total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standard 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 Notes 13 and 14 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 and some investments accounted for using the equity method were not reviewed. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$21,447,628 thousand and NT$22,460,780 thousand, respectively, representing 7.55% and 7.53%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and combined total liabilities of these non-significant

subsidiaries were NT$11,453,273 thousand and NT$11,665,344 thousand, respectively, representing 5.07% and 4.89%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities; for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the amounts of the combined comprehensive income of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$(126,107) thousand, NT$297,334 thousand, NT$(481,583) thousand and NT$855,151 thousand, respectively, representing 37.52%, 59.93%, 28.41% and (412.73%), respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the aforementioned investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$2,009,318 thousand and NT$2,186,140 thousand, respectively; and for the three months ended and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the amounts of the Group’s share of the profit of such investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$(57,013) thousand, NT$77,114 thousand, NT$(176,235) thousand and NT$234,913 thousand, respectively.

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 investments accounted for by 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 present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months then ended 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 Huang, Jui Chan and Cheng, Shiuh Ran.

CHINA AIRLINES, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company is primarily involved in (a) air transport services for passengers, cargo and mail; (b) ground services and routine aircraft maintenance; (c) major maintenance of flight equipment; (d) communications and data processing services to other airlines; (e) the sale of aircraft parts and aviation equipment; and (f) the sale and leasing of aircraft.

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and 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)

The Group elected to apply the practical expedient provided in the amendment to IFRS 16 with respect to rent concessions negotiated with the lessor as a direct consequence of the COVID-19. The related accounting policies are stated in Note 4. Before the application of the amendment, the Group was required to determine whether the abovementioned rent concessions are lease modifications and thus have to be accounted for as lease modifications.

The Group applied the amendment from January 1, 2020. Retrospective application of the amendment has no impact on the retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except for the policies listed below, the accounting policies adopted for these consolidated financial statements are the same as those of for the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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” as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosures required in a full set of annual consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Consolidation

The reporting principles of these consolidated financial statements are the same as those of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Employee 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.

Income Tax

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.

Business Combinations

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. Any difference between the Group’s carrying amounts of the interests and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities and any non-controlling interests of the former subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required had the Group directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Lease

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

  • 12 -

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

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

The critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty for these interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium- to long-term strategic purposes and are expected to earn profits through 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 values in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

The average credit period of sales to customers was 7 to 55 days. In determining the recoverability of a accounts receivable, the Group considered any change in the credit quality of the receivables since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period, and any allowance for impairment loss was based on the estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to the Group’s past default experience with the counterparty and an analysis of the counterparty’s current financial position. The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit rating information is obtained from independent rating agencies where available or, if not available, the Group uses other publicly available financial information or its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually.

The Group applies the simplified approach to allowing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable. The expected credit losses on accounts receivable are estimated using a provision matrix prepared by reference to past default experience with the debtors and an analysis of the debtors’ current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecasted direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on the past due status is not further distinguished according to the different segments of the Group’s customer base.

The Group writes off accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is experiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For accounts receivable that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the past due receivables. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The Group entered into a joint venture agreement with Taikoo Group to invest in China Pacific Catering Services and China Pacific Laundry Services. According to the agreement, both parties have the right to veto major proposals on the board of directors, and therefore, the Group does not have control.

To enhance the Group’s maintenance capabilities, the Company established a joint venture with the US NORDAM Aerospace Group in December 2017, with a plan to provide thrust reversers and composite repair services in Asia under the NORDAM brand. NORDAM has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in the USA on July 22, 2018 to settle the disputes with its business partners, which would not have an impact on its operations. As a result, NORDAM Asia suspended its operations from October 5, 2018 to October 4, 2019 and resumed business on October 4, 2019. The Company increased the capital of NORDAM Asia by $35,525 thousand in November 2019.

To expand the Group’s catering business, Kaohsiung Catering entered into a joint venture agreement with a Japanese brand company to invest in Delica International Co, Ltd., with the Japanese brand company having the right to make decisions on operations, and therefore, the Group does not have control.

c. Appropriation of earnings and dividend policy

Under the dividend policy as set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), where the Company made a 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 a 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 is to distribute dividends and bonus no less than 50% of the remaining profit and undistributed retained earnings. The dividends and bonus mentioned above can be distributed in the form of new shares or cash, and the cash dividends should be no less than 30% of the total dividends.

Under the Company Act, if surplus earnings are distributed in the form of new shares, the distribution of shares shall be approved in the meeting of the board of directors; if such earnings are distributed in the form of cash, the cash distribution shall be authorized after a resolution has been adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of the board of directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors; and in addition, a report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting. If the Group has no loss, according to laws and regulations, the Group can distribute its capital reserve, in whole or in part, by issuing new shares or cash based on financial, business and management considerations. If such surplus earnings is distributed in the form of new shares, it shall be approved by a meeting of the board of directors; if such surplus earning is distributed in the form of cash, it shall be authorized after a resolution has been adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of the board of directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors; and in addition thereto a report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting.

Under the dividend policy as set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) based on the amended Company Act, 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 a legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing a 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 with due consideration of any future aircraft acquisition plans and fund demands, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for the distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders by cash or shares (cash dividends cannot be less than 30% of total dividends distributed). However, if the Company’s profit before tax in a fiscal year after deductions for the abovementioned items is not sufficient for earnings distribution, retained earnings can be used as a supplement for the deficiency.

The Company shall set aside profits as a legal reserve until the legal reserve amounts to the authorized capital. The legal reserve could be used for offsetting deficit of the Company. If the Company has no deficit in a fiscal year, the Company can distribute all or part of the capital surplus by cash or shares with due consideration of finance, marketing and management requirements in accordance with the laws and regulations.

The distribution of dividends should be resolved and recognized in the shareholders’ meeting in the following year.

To be in compliance with the amended Company Act, the Articles stipulate the distribution of employees’ compensation at rates of no less than 3% of the net profit before income tax and employees’ compensation. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has experienced a deficit, and therefore, no employees’ compensation is estimated.

Significant differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the board of directors on or before the date the annual consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue are adjusted in the year when the compensation and remuneration are recognized. If there is a change in the proposed amounts after the annual consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue, the differences are recorded as a change in the accounting estimate.

If the Group offered to settle compensation or bonuses paid to employees in cash or shares, the Group assumed the entire amount of the compensation or bonuses would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings (losses) per share, if the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

30. DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES

On January 21, 2019, the board of directors of the Company decided to sell a portion of Dynasty Holidays to H.I.S. Taiwan Co., Ltd. with proceeds from disposal of $34,036 thousand and a gain on disposal of $7,656 thousand. After the disposal, the Company’s proportion of ownership in Dynasty Holidays decreased from 51% to 20%, resulting in a loss of control of the subsidiary.

Some long-term debts and lease liabilities are floating-rate financial liabilities, so their carrying amounts are their fair values. As of September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the fair values of private bonds with fixed interest rates were estimated at the present value of expected cash flows discounted at rates of 0.5100%, 0.6700% and 0.6500%, respectively, prevailing in the market for private bonds (Level 2). Fair values of bonds payable were the same as identical liabilities trading on the over-the-counter exchange and were based on quoted market prices (Level 1).

  • b. Fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

  • 1) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

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

  • 3) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

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

Financial Instrument Valuation Techniques and Inputs Derivative instruments The fair values of derivatives (except options) have been determined based on discounted cash flow analyses using interest yield curves applicable for the duration of the derivatives. The estimates and assumptions that the Group used to determine the fair values are identical to those used in the pricing of financial instruments for market participants.

  • 44 -

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

The fair values of foreign exchanges and fuel options are determined using option pricing models where the significant unobservable inputs are the implied fluctuation. Changes in the implied fluctuations used in isolation would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts and fuel options.

The domestic unlisted equity investment is based on the comparative company valuation to estimate the fair value. The main assumptions are based on the multiplier of the market price of the comparable listed company and the net value per share, which have considered the liquidity discount. The higher the multiplier or the lower the liquidity discount, the higher the fair value of the relevant financial instruments.

The movements of Level 3 financial instruments were as follows:

Liquidity
Multiplicator
Discount
September 30, 2020 0.80-21.22 80%
December 31, 2019 0.75-13.23 80%

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group has risk management and hedging strategies to respond to changes in the economic and financial environment and in the fuel market. To reduce the financial risks from changes in interest, exchange rates and in fuel prices, the Group fixed its operating costs within a specified range by using appropriate financial hedging instruments and hedging percentages in accordance with the “Processing Program of Derivative Financial Instrument Transactions” approved by the Group’s shareholders to reduce the impact of market price changes on earnings. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

In addition, the Group has a risk committee, which meets periodically to evaluate the performance of derivative instruments and determine the appropriate hedging percentage. This committee informs the Group of global economic and financial conditions, controls the entire financial risk resulting from changes in the financial environment and fuel prices, and develops the strategy and response to avoid financial risk with the assistance of financial risk experts to effect risk management.

1) Market risk

The Group is primarily exposed to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Group entered into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.

The Group enters into forward contracts, foreign currency option contracts, and interest swap contracts with fair values that are highly negatively correlated to the fair values of hedged items and evaluates the hedging effectiveness of these instruments periodically.

a) Foreign currency risk

The Group enters into foreign currency option contracts to hedge against the risks on change in related exchange rates, enters into forward contracts to hedge against the risks on changes in foreign-currency assets, liabilities and commitments in the related exchange rates.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar.

  • 46 -

The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar. The following details the Group’s sensitivity to increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. An increase/decrease of US$1 against New Taiwan dollars is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for an increase/decrease of US$1 against the New Taiwan dollars.

When New Taiwan dollars increased by one dollar against U.S. dollars and all other variables were held constant, there would be a decrease in pre-tax loss and an increase in pre-tax other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $330,226 thousand and $1,069,139 thousand, and an increase in pre-tax profit and increase in pre-tax other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $115,507 thousand and $1,748,005 thousand, respectively.

The Group’s hedging strategy is to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to avoid exchange rate exposure of its foreign currency denominated receipts and payments and to manage exchange rate exposure of its aircraft prepayments in the next year. Those transactions are designated as cash flow hedges. When forecasted purchases actually take place, basis adjustments are made to the initial carrying amounts of hedged items.

For the hedges of highly probable aircraft prepayments, as the critical terms (i.e. the notional amount, useful life and underlying asset) of the foreign exchange forward contracts and their corresponding hedged items are the same, the Group performs a qualitative assessment of the effectiveness, and it is expected that the value of the foreign exchange forward contracts and the value of the corresponding hedged items will systematically change in the opposite direction in response to movements in the underlying exchange rates.

The following table summarizes the information relating to the hedges of foreign currency risk.

Please refer to Note 21 for information related to equipment contracts for hedging.

b) Interest rate risk

The Group was exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings and using interest rate swap contracts and forward interest rate contracts.

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

September 30, December 31, September 30,
2020 2019 2019
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial liabilities $ 73,848,215 $ 91,414,806 $ 95,678,592
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial liabilities 109,059,037
77,821,887

79,793,065

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and 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 one yard (25 basis points) 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.

Had interest rates increased by one yard (25 basis points) and all other variables been held constant, the Group’s pretax profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 would have decreased by $204,486 thousand.

Had interest rates increased by one yard (25 basis points) and all other variables been held constant, the Group’s pretax profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 would have decreased by $149,612 thousand.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to fuel price risk on its purchase of aviation fuel. The Group enters into fuel swaps contract to hedge against adverse risks on changes in fuel price.

Liquidity and interest risk rate table

The following table shows the remaining contractual maturity analysis of the Group’s financial liabilities with agreed-upon repayment periods, which are based on the date the Group may be required to pay the first repayment and financial liabilities are evaluated based on undiscounted cash flows, including cash flows of interest and principal.

Bank loans with a repayment on demand clause are included in the second column of the table below regardless of whether or not the banks would choose to exercise early their rights to repayment. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities are based on the agreed-upon repayment dates. The Group’s liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments is also shown in the following table. The table was based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross cash inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amount payable or receivable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by yield curves at the end of the reporting period.

35. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As of September 30, 2020, the Group had commitments and contingent liabilities (except for those mentioned in other notes) as follows:

  • a. For operation needs, the board of directors of Mandarin Airlines resolved to enter into a contract with AVIONS DE TRANSPORT REGIONAL G.I.E to purchase six ATR72-600 aircraft, and the total list price of the six aircraft was US$120,000 thousand. As of September 30, 2020, four of the aircraft had been handed over to the Company, and the amount paid was US$8,314 thousand (recognized as prepayments for aircraft).

  • b. Taiwan Air Cargo Terminal Co. (TACT) signed a terminal construction contract with the Civil Aeronautics Administrations (CAA) on January 14, 2000. The chartered operation period (COP) is 20 years from the date of transfer of the chartered operation rights from CAA to TACT. TACT filed an application for a 10-year extension of the COP for the cargo terminals in the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and Kaohsiung International Airport and received the approval from the Taoyuan Airport Corporation and CAA in July 2013 and July 2015, respectively.

However, TACT filed an arbitration for the total amount of $6,840,000 thousand based on the construction contract.

As of September 30, 2020, TACT had signed the following construction contracts with unrelated parties:

Contract
Amount (VAT
Client Name Contract Title Included)
CECI Engineering Cargo Terminal Expansion Construction Consultant $ 552,285
Consultant, Inc., Taiwan Contract
Bin Li Construction Co., Cargo Terminal Expansion and Enhancement 275,000
Ltd., Taiwan Construction

As of September 30, 2020, the accumulated consulting service expense and construction equipment amounted to $481,776 thousand and $5,301,244 thousand, respectively, of which upon completion of the projects, the amounts of $468,755 thousand and $5,270,661 thousand were reclassified to property, plant and equipment. The remaining cumulative payments were recognized under construction in progress.

  • 57 -

Assets acquired from cargo terminal improvements, equipment acquisition and subsequent equipment acquisition and replacement will be returned to the government without any compensation when the chartered operating license expires.

TACT should pay royalties to Taoyuan Airport Corporation and the CAA during the chartered operation period. The calculation is based on annual sales (including operating and non-operating revenue but excluding the rental revenue from specific districts), and both Taoyuan Airport Corporation and the CAA have the option to adjust the royalty rates every 3 years starting from the date of transfer of the chartered operation rights on the basis of actual revenue and expenditures. The current royalty rate is 6%.

  • c. CAL Park Co., Ltd. (“CAL Park”) signed “Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Aviation Operation Center (including Airport Hotel) Construction Operating Contract” with the CAA on September 20, 2006. However, on November 1, 2010, the Taoyuan Airport Corporation took over the CAA’s rights on this contract from the CAA. The contract is effective for 50 years (consisting of the development stage and operating period) from the contract date. Three years before contract expiry date, CAL Park has the first option to renew the contract with a 20-year extension.

CAL Park’s business scope includes providing business and other operating space related to civil air transport, hotels, aviation service and related industries adhered to the laws and regulations for providing essential services approved by the Taoyuan Airport Corporation.

CAL Park should pay land rentals on the date of the registration of surface rights. The rental rates for the development stage differ from those for the operation period. The rental rates should follow Article No. 2 of the “Regulations for Favorable Rentals Regarding Public Land Lease and Superficies in Infrastructure Projects,” which states that rental calculation in the development stage should include the land value added tax plus the necessary maintenance fee; in the operation period, the rentals are 60% of the amount based on the National Building Land Rental Standard plus land value tax, value-added tax and the necessary maintenance fees.

During the 50 years beginning from the initial operation date of CAL Park to the end of the construction period, CAL Park should pay royalties based on the operating revenue estimated in the financial plan of its investment execution proposal. If the sales and business tax declared and filed by a business entity for a single year exceeds 10% of the operating revenue as estimated in the financial plan in its investment execution proposal, CAL Park should pay additional royalties at 10% of this excess.

CAL Park should submit the asset transfer plan within five years before the expiry date of the chartered operation period, begin the negotiation of the asset transfer contract, and complete the assignment no later than three years before the expiry date of the chartered period. If CAA decides not to keep the building and equipment on the base area, CAL Park should remove all related building and equipment within three months after the expiry date.

  • d. In October 2019, the Company signed a contract with Airbus S.A.S. to purchase eleven A321neo aircraft and an option to purchase five A321neo aircraft. The total list price of the eleven aircraft is US$1,676,413 thousand, and the list price of the option to purchase five aircraft is US$769,922 thousand. The expected delivery periods of the eleven aircraft are from 2024 to 2026.

36. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

Since the outbreak of Covid-19 in January 2020, the coronavirus has become a pandemic. The pandemic has now spread around the world and most countries have not removed the restrictions on travel. Because the number of inbound and outbound passengers has decreased significantly, the Company adjusts the proportion between passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft used in operations to comply with the government’s epidemic prevention policy and cater to market demand. The Company reduces the frequency of passenger air services that has been severely affected, uses the passenger aircraft to support the cargo flight arrangement and expands the function of all-cargo aircraft to maximize the opportunities from air cargo business. Since March 2020, cargo has become the main source of revenue for the Company.

The Group continues to adjust the response measures according to the situation. In addition, to ensure the adequate liquidity, the Group also implements measures for human resource management such as postponing the hiring of newcomers, relaxing the application of special leave, loosening the restrictions on leave without pay, encouraging employees to take leave, adjusting working hours and salaries, etc. The Group’s policies to control spending include suspension of non-urgent capital expenditures, reduction in unnecessary expenses for administrative management and sales, negotiation with suppliers for a lower price and postponement of payments.

The Group has obtained relief loan from the government. Refer to Note 19 for details on the amount of loan and its allocation.
