INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders China General Plastics Corporation
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China General Plastics Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of the 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”. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with 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 and investments accounted for using the equity method included in the consolidated financial statements were not reviewed. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries and investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$1,023,219 thousand and NT$1,059,819 thousand, respectively, collectively representing 8% of the consolidated total assets, and the combined total liabilities of these non-significant subsidiaries as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 were NT$41,300 thousand and NT$32,546 thousand, respectively, collectively representing 1% of the consolidated total liabilities; for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the amounts of combined comprehensive income (loss) of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$6,178 thousand and NT$(3,225) thousand, respectively, representing 3% and (1%), respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income, and the Group’s share of profit of these investments accounted for using the equity method for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were NT$12,957 thousand and NT$3,221 thousand, respectively, representing 7%, and 1%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income. The additional disclosures of these non-significant subsidiaries and investments accounted for using the equity method were based on financial statements which were not reviewed by auditors.

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 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 consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.
The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Hsiu-Chun Huang and Cheng-Chun Chiu.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 AND 2018 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise) (Reviewed, Not Audited)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
China General Plastics Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated and began operations on April 29, 1964. The Company mainly engages in the production and sale of PVC films, PVC leather, PVC pipes, PVC compounds, PVC resins, construction products, chlor-alkali products and other related products.
The Company’s ordinary shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since March 1973.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the “Group”, are presented in the Company’s functional currency, the New Taiwan dollar (NT$).
2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements were proposed to the Company’s board of directors on May 9, 2019.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
- 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), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC), and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC
Except for the following, whenever applied, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:
IFRS 16 “Leases”
IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessee and lessor. It supersedes IAS 17 “Leases”, IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease”, and a number of related interpretations. Refer to Note 4 for information relating to the relevant accounting policies.
Definition of a lease
The Group elects to apply the guidance of IFRS 16 in determining whether contracts are, or contain, a lease only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are not reassessed and are accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.
- 10 -
The Group as lessee
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value asset and short-term leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group presents the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities are classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion are classified within operating activities. Prior to the application of IFRS 16, payments under operating lease contracts, were recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Prepaid lease payments for land use rights in China were recognized as prepayments for leases. Cash flows for operating leases were classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Group elects to apply IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Comparative information is not restated.
Lease liabilities were recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. The Group applies IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.
The Group also applies the following practical expedients:
-
1) The Group applies a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.
-
2) The Group accounts for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.
-
3) The Group excludes initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.
-
4) The Group uses hindsight, such as in determining lease terms, to measure lease liabilities.
For leases previously classified as finance leases under IAS 17, the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 are determined as at the carrying amounts of the respective leased assets and finance lease payables on December 31, 2018.
The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized on January 1, 2019 is 1.0392%. The difference between the (i) lease liabilities recognized and (ii) operating lease commitments disclosed under IAS 17 on December 31, 2018 is explained as follows:
| The future minimum lease payments of non-cancellable operating lease commitments on December 31, 2018 Less: Recognition exemption for short-term leases Less: Recognition exemption for leases of low-value assets Undiscounted amounts on January 1, 2019 Lease liabilities recognized on January 1, 2019 |

The Group as lessor
The Group does not make any adjustments for leases in which it is a lessor, and it accounts for those leases with the application of IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019.
The impact on assets, liabilities and equity as of January 1, 2019 from the initial application of IFRS 16 is set out as follows:

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Statement of compliance
The 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 disclosure information required in a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements.
- b. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
-
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
-
c. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries).
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Group and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.
See Note 13, Table 6 and Table 7 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).

d. Other significant accounting policies
Except for the accounting policies of leases, the accounting policies applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, which can be referenced in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
- 1) Leases
2019
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
a) The Group as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Under finance leases, lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.
- b) The Group as lessee
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
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.
- 14 -
2018
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
a) The Group as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
- b) The Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- 2) Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period’s pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings. The effect of a change in tax rate resulting from a change in tax law is recognized consistently with the accounting for the transaction itself which gives rise to the tax consequence and is recognized in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity in full in the period in which the change in tax rate occurs.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Except for the following paragraph, the same critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty as were applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 have been followed in these consolidated financial statements.
Lessees’ Incremental Borrowing Rates
In determining a lessee’s incremental borrowing rate used in discounting lease payments, a risk-free rate for the same currency and relevant duration is selected as a reference rate, and the lessee’s credit spread adjustments and lease specific adjustments (such as asset type, secured position, etc.) are also taken into account.

- 16 -
The Group entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage exposures to exchange rate fluctuations of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. These contracts did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. Therefore, the Group did not apply a hedge accounting treatment for these contracts.
8. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FVTOCI
Investments in Equity Instruments at FVTOCI
| Non-current Domestic equity investments Listed ordinary shares Asia Polymer Corporation Unlisted ordinary shares KHL IB Venture Capital Co., Ltd. |
March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 $ 1,715 $ 1,593 116,786 121,047 $ 118,501 $ 122,640 |
March 31, 2018 $ 2,035 102,648 $ 104,683 |
|---|---|---|
In order to adjust its capital structure, KHL returned part of its capital to shareholders pursuant to the resolution made in the shareholders meeting in June 2018. The return was made by reducing 8.2% of the capital, in aggregation of 12,536 thousand shares (proportionately reducing 82 shares per 1,000 shares) and refunding $820 per 1,000 shares to shareholders. The capital reduction was officially registered on August 16, 2018, and the Company received the capital refund of $7,462 thousand in August 2018.
These investments in equity instruments are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as it believes that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.
9. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTIZED COST
| Current Domestic investments Pledged time deposits |
March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 $ 269,003 $ 268,954 |

- a. Trade receivables
The Group’s credit period for the sale of goods ranges from 10 days to 60 days. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. Before accepting a new customer, the Group surveys the customers’ credit history and measures the potential customer’s credit quality to set a credit limit. A customer’s credit limit and rating are reviewed annually. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Group applies the simplified approach to the recognition of allowances for expected credit losses during the reporting as prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of a lifetime expected losses allowance for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using an allowance matrix by reference to past default experience with the respective debtors and an analysis of the debtors’ current financial positions, 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.
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is experiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables which are due.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs |
|---|---|
| Discounted cash flow: Future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties. |
- 4) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement
To determine the fair value for Level 3 financial instruments, the Group’s financial department conducts independent fair value verification using independent resources so as to better reflect the market conditions, as well as periodically reviewing the valuation results in order to guarantee the rationality of the measurement. For unlisted domestic equity investments, the Group utilizes the asset approach and takes into account the most recent net asset value, observable financial status as well as the financing activities of investees in order to determine their net asset value. The unobservable input used was a discount for the lack of marketability of 15% on March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018. When other inputs remain unchanged, the fair value will decrease by $1,374 thousand, $1,424 thousand and $1,208 thousand if the discount for lack of marketability increases by 1%.

- d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s conduct of risk control and hedging strategy is influenced by the operational environment. The Group monitors and manages the financial risk by business nature and risk dispersion.
These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
1) Market risk
The Group’s operating activities exposed itself primarily to the market risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
- 40 -
a) Foreign currency risk
The Group conducted foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk. In order to avoid the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, which lead to deductions in foreign currency denominated assets and fluctuations in their future cash flows, the Group maintains a balance of hedged net foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The Group also utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the currency exposure. The use of foreign exchange forward contracts is regulated by the policies passed by the Group’s board of directors. Internal auditors focus on reviewing the observance of the policies and the quota of risk exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts that the Group engaged in were not for speculation purposes.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities as of the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 35.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s sensitivity analysis mainly focuses on the foreign currency risk of U.S. dollars at the end of the reporting period. Assuming a 3% strengthening/weakening of the functional currency against U.S. dollars, the net income before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 would have decreased/increased by $24,990 thousand and $32,615 thousand, respectively.
In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative of the inherent foreign currency risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period did not reflect the exposure during the period.
b) Interest rate risk
The Group was exposed to the fair value risk of interest rate fluctuations for the fixed interest rate bearing financial assets; the Group was exposed to the cash flow risk of interest rate fluctuations for the floating interest rate bearing financial assets and financial liabilities. The Group’s management regularly monitors the fluctuations on market rates and then adjusted its balance of floating rate bearing financial liabilities to make the Group’s interest rates more closely approach market rates in response to the interest rate risk.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| March 31, | March 31, | December 31, | March 31, | March 31, | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | 2018 | |||
| Fair value interest rate risk | |||||
| Financial assets | $ | 795,262 | $ 1,008,163 |
$ | 885,365 |
| Financial liabilities | 293,448 | - | - | ||
| Cash flow interest rate risk | |||||
| Financial assets | 220,600 | 184,491 | 199,648 | ||
| Financial liabilities | 700,000 | 1,000,000 | 1,050,000 |
- 41 -
Sensitivity analysis
The fixed-rate financial assets and liabilities held by the Group are not included in the analysis as they are all measured at amortized cost. For floating rate assets and liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming that the amount of the assets and liabilities outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50-basis point fluctuation in interest rate was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 would have decreased/increased by $599 thousand and $1,063 thousand, respectively.
c) Other price risk
The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in domestic listed shares, domestic unlisted shares, mutual fund beneficiary certificates and other equity securities investments. The Group manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. In addition, the Group has appointed a special team to monitor price risk.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to securities price risk at the end of the reporting period.
If marketable equity securities prices had fluctuated by 5%, the pre-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased/decreased by $31,534 thousand and $85,102 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased/decreased by $5,925 thousand and $5,234 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As of the end of the reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation and financial guarantees provided by the Group, could arise from:
-
a) The carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheets; and
-
b) The maximum amount the entity would have to pay if the financial guarantee is called upon, irrespective of the likelihood of the guarantee being exercised.
The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored.
The counterparties of the Group’s trade receivables included numerous clients distributed over a variety of areas and were not centered on a single client or location. Furthermore, the Group continuously assesses the financial condition of its clients, and then the Group’s credit risk was limited. As of the end of the reporting period, the Group’s largest exposure to credit risk is approximately that of the carrying amounts of its financial assets.
- 42 -
3) Liquidity risk
The Group managers mitigate liquidity risk by maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents and financing facilities deemed adequate.
- a) Liquidity and interest rate risk tables
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table was drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

b. Description of Kaohsiung gas explosion:
Regarding the associate, China General Terminal & Distribution Corporation (hereinafter “CGTD”), who was commissioned to operate LCY Chemical Corp.’s propene pipeline resulting in a gas explosion on July 31, 2014, the first instance of the criminal procedures reached a first instance judgment on May 11, 2018, whereby three employees of CGTD were each sentenced to four years and six months of imprisonment, and CGTD assisted the employees to appeal against the judgment.
CGTD arrived at an agreement with the Kaohsiung City Government on February 12, 2015, pledging certificates of bank deposits of $227,167 thousand, interest included, to the Kaohsiung City Government as collateral for the loss caused by the gas explosion. The Kaohsiung City Government also filed civil procedure requests in succession against LCY Chemical Corp., CGTD and CPC Corporation, Taiwan (“CPC”). Taiwan Power Company applied for provisional attachment against CGTD’s property on August 27 and November 26, 2015. Taiwan Water Corporation also applied for provisional attachment against CGTD’s property on February 3 and March 2, 2017. As of April 30, 2019, the provisionally attached property was worth $139,997 thousand.
As for the victims, CGTD, LCY Chemical Corp. and the Kaohsiung City Government signed a tripartite agreement for the compensation of the 32 victims’ families on July 17, 2015. Each victim’s family received $12,000 thousand, and the compensation was $384,000 thousand in total, which was paid in four annual payments by LCY Chemical Corp. LCY Chemical Corp. was in charge of negotiating the compensation with the victims’ families and signing the settlement agreement on behalf of the three parties.
As for the seriously injured victims, CGTD, LCY Chemical Corp. and the Kaohsiung City Government signed a tripartite agreement for the compensation of the 65 seriously injured victims’ families on October 25, 2017. Compensation was paid by CGTD and the Kaohsiung City Government, and CGTD was in charge of negotiating the compensation with the seriously injured victims’ families and signing the settlement agreement on behalf of the three parties with the 64 seriously injured victim’s families.
As of April 30, 2019, victims and their families have filed civil (including supplementary civil action) lawsuits against LCY Chemical Corp., CGTD and CPC for compensation. To reduce the lawsuit costs, CGTD had reached a settlement on the original claim of $23,919 thousand, and the amount of the settlement was $3,899 thousand. Along with the case still under litigation and the above-mentioned compensation, the accumulated amount of compensation is $3,879,657 thousand. The first-instance judgments of some of the above-mentioned civil cases (with a total amount of compensation of approximately $1,177,192 thousand) have been gradually announced, starting from June 22, 2018. The proportion of fault liability of the Kaohsiung City Government, LCY Chemical Corp. and CGTD is 4:3:3 in most judgments. The total amount of compensation that CGTD, LCY Chemical Corp. and the
- 50 -
other defendants should pay is around $383,831 thousand. In particular, CGTD was exempted to pay $6,194 thousand according to the court’s judgement. $188,818 thousand is estimated to be the portion of compensation that CGTD should afford according to the first-instance judgment for the moment. CGTD has appealed some civil cases which were announced but were not yet settled and gradually entered into the second-instance trials. In addition, with regard to the above-mentioned compensation, CGTD estimated and recognized the amount of $136,375 thousand based on its fault liability proportion announced in the first-instance judgment. The actual payment of CGTD still depends on the judgments of the remaining civil cases in the future.
