China Motor Corporation and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and Independent Auditors’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders China Motor Corporation

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of 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 significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

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

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

The financial statements of some non-significant subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements were not reviewed. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$8,221,605 thousand and NT$9,115,891 thousand, respectively, representing 15% and 18%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and combined total liabilities of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$2,497,075 thousand and NT$3,002,479 thousand, respectively, representing 31% and 42%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities; for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the amounts of combined comprehensive loss of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$57,429 thousand and NT$133,770 thousand, respectively, representing 4% and 45%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income. As disclosed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, some investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$14,713,648 thousand and NT$14,220,189 thousand, respectively, and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the comprehensive income (loss) of these equity-method investments were NT$493,768 thousand and NT$(158,899) thousand, respectively, which were calculated on the basis of financial statements that have not been reviewed.

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, the investments accounted for using the equity method and the relevant information 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 March 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 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 Ya-Ling Wong and Shiow-Ming Shue.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Statement of compliance

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” 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;

  • 11 -

  • 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 the asset or liability.

  • c. Basis of consolidation

  • 1) Principles for preparing the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Corporation and the entities controlled by the Corporation (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 date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal, 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 Corporation.

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 Corporation 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 Corporation.

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.

(Concluded)
  • a) The Group held 43.87% equity interest in Kian Shen. Kian Shen is a listed company and 56.13% of its shares were held by numerous shareholders unrelated to the Group. Owing to the Group’s substantial influence on Kian Shen, an absolute number of voting rights and the relative size of other shareholdings, Kian Shen was deemed a subsidiary.

  • b) The Group held 49.76% equity in COC. However, since the Corporation controls more than half of the board members and holds relative majority of shares, COC was considered a subsidiary.

  • c) On November 2018, Sichuan Huafeng Hanwei, Guangzhou Huayou Motor Sales and Guangzhou Huayou Motor Maintenance resolved to dissolve their respective companies and the annulment was completed in February, June and December 2020, respectively.

  • d) In May 2020, the board of directors of COC resolved to dissolve Shye Shinn. The annulment of Shye Shinn had been completed in December 2020.

  • e) The Group’s board of directors approved to fully dispose of its interest held in its subsidiary, Advance Power Machinery, to Yulon on July 16, 2020. The disposal was completed on July 17, 2020, the date on which the control of Advance Power Machinery was transferred to the acquirer.

  • f) In December 2020, Dongguan Huayi and Dongguan Huashun resolved to dissolve their respective companies. As of March 31, 2021, the liquidation had not been completed.

For the relationships between the Corporation and its controlled entities as of March 31, 2021, refer to Table 10.

All the subsidiaries listed above are non-significant subsidiaries. Except for Kian Shen, their financial statements have not been reviewed.

  • 13 -

  • d. Other significant accounting policies

Except for the following, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

1) 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.

  • 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.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

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

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

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

The Group invests only in debt instruments that have higher credit ratings and low credit risk after impairment assessment. The credit rating information is supplied by independent rating agencies. The Group’s exposure and the external credit ratings are continuously monitored. The Group reviews changes in bond yields and other public information of debtors and makes an assessment whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition.

In determining the expected credit losses for debt instrument investments, the Group considers the historical default rates of each credit rating supplied by external rating agencies, the current financial condition of debtors, and the future prospects of the industries. The Group’s current credit risk grading mechanism is as follows:

Credit Rating

The Group’s hedging strategy is to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts and to buy foreign currency banknotes at the spot rate to avoid exchange rate exposure from its foreign currency receipts and payments and to manage exchange rate exposure of its forecasted foreign currency denominated purchases. Those transactions are designated as cash flow hedges. Basis adjustments are made to the initial carrying amounts of non-financial hedged items when the anticipated purchases take place.

For the hedges of highly probable forecasted purchases, the critical terms (i.e., the notional amount, period and subject) of the foreign exchange forward contracts are corresponded to their hedged items. The Group performs a qualitative assessment and expects that the value of the foreign exchange forward contracts and the value of the corresponding hedged items will be systematically changed in the opposite direction in respond to movements in the underlying exchange rate.

The source of hedge ineffectiveness in these hedging relationships is the effect of the counterparty and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign currency banknote, which is not reflected in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. No other sources of ineffectiveness are expected to emerge from these hedging relationships. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, hedging instruments at fair value and transferred to the initial carrying amount of hedged items are detailed in Note 23(e).

The Group had signed component purchasing contracts with the suppliers in Japan and China, and also signed foreign exchange forward contracts with the banks and purchased foreign currency banknotes at the spot rate to avoid exchange rate risk associated with its forecasted purchases. When the forecasted purchases take place, the amount originally deferred and recognized in equity will be reclassified to the carrying amount of the materials purchased.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by reference to the past default records of the customer and the customer’s current financial position. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base.

The aging of receivables was as follows:

The Group is the single largest shareholder of several associates. The Group’s holding is less than 50% of the voting rights in the investees but the Group considered its holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the other shareholdings, which are not widely dispersed, and concluded that it has neither the ability to direct the relevant activities of the investees nor the control over the investees. The management of the Group considered the Group as exercising significant influence over the investees and, therefore, classified them as associates accounted for using the equity method.

Except for Yulon, the investments accounted for using the equity method and the share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those investments were calculated based on the associate’s financial statements that have not been reviewed.

  • Note 1: Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Corporation has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Corporation’s capital surplus and to once a year).

  • Note 2: Such capital surplus arises from the effect of changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries resulting from equity transactions other than actual disposals or acquisitions or from changes in capital surplus of subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

Under the dividend policy as set forth in the Corporation’s articles of incorporation, where the Corporation made a profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for offsetting losses of previous years and paying taxes, then for setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit. If there is remaining profit, the profit shall be utilized for setting aside 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 Corporation’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for distribution. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors, refer to Note 25.

The operating environment of the Corporation is considered as a mature and steady industry. In determining dividend amounts, the Corporation takes its future capital expenditures and related factors into account and also seeks to uphold the shareholders’ interests while realizing the Corporation’s long-term financial plan. Dividends are distributed at no less than 40% of profits after tax, but dividends cannot be distributed if the Corporation has deficit. Dividends are paid in the form of cash or stock. The Corporation’s policy is that cash dividends should be at least 20% of total dividends.

The shareholders of the Corporation held their regular meeting in June 2020 and in that meeting, resolved the amendments to the dividend policy of the Corporation’s articles of incorporation, where the regulation of “dividends cannot be distributed if the Corporation has a deficit” has been deleted.

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

Items referred to under Rule No. 1010012865, Rule No. 1010047490 and Rule No. 1030006415 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs” should be appropriated to or reserved from a special reserve by the Corporation.

  • 31 -

The appropriations of earnings for 2020 that were proposed by the board of directors on March 23, 2021 were as follows:

Appropriation Appropriation Dividends Per
of Earnings Share (NT$)
Legal reserve $ 323,844
Cash dividends 3,875,342 $ 7.0

The appropriations of earnings for 2020 will be resolved by the shareholders in their meeting to be held in June 2021.

The Corporation proposed to not distribute any dividends due to the net loss incurred in 2019.

Information on the appropriation of earnings proposed by the Corporation’s board of directors and approved in the shareholders’ meetings is available on the Market Observation Post System website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

When calculating earnings per share (EPS), the Group considers the shares held by associates as treasury shares to reduce the number of shares outstanding.

If the Group offered to settle compensation paid to employees in cash or shares, the Group assumed that the entire amount of the compensation will 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 per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

28. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged in the future.

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

  • a) Derivative financial instruments: The fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts of 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.

  • 41 -

  • b) Domestic unlisted securities to which the market approach was applied: The fair values of domestic unlisted shares referred to stock prices of listed companies with operating activities that were similar to those of the Corporation. The material unobservable inputs were as follows:

March 31, December 31, March 31,
2021 2020 2020
Operating income ratio 0.69-5.21 times 0.69-5.21 times 0.20-5.22 times
Gross profit ratio - - 2.23-17.18 times
EBITDA ratio 4.75-36.25 times 4.75-36.25 times 5.21-24.22 times
Post-tax profit ratio - - 13.24-71.17 times
P/B ratio 0.43-3.86 times 0.43-3.86 times 0.73-7.82 times
Discount rate for lack of 32.28% 32.28% 32.28%
marketability

If the inputs to the valuation model were changed to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions while all the other variables were held constant, the fair values of the shares would increase (decrease) as follows:

March 31, March 31, December December 31, March 31, March 31,

  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and lease liabilities. Financial risks include market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and other price risk.

a) Foreign currency risk

Holding foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities exposes the Group to adverse fluctuations of cash flows and the reduction of foreign currency assets due to the changes in foreign currency rate. The Group avoids cash flow risk resulting from the changes in adverse foreign currency rate by using derivative contracts.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar (USD), Japanese Yen (JPY) and Renminbi (RMB).

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

b) Interest rate risk

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

March 31, December 31, March 31,
2021 2020 2020
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets $ 10,397,420 $ 11,184,954 $

458,713
914,937
Fair value interest rate risk
Lease liabilities 419,372
365,104
425,480

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liabilities outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. The sensitivity rate of 0.25% is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 0.25% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by $6,278 thousand and $3,698 thousand, respectively.

The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates increased during the current period mainly due to the increase in variable rate asset instruments.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk on its investments in listed securities and mutual funds.

Sensitivity analysis

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

  • 44 -

If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower, pre-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by $49,188 thousand and $16,192 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by $1,604 thousand and $929 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.

2) Credit risk

The amounts of financial assets will be potentially impacted if the counterparties of the Corporation or third parties fail to perform their obligations in financial instrument contracts. The impact includes the concentrated degrees, composition parts and contracts amounts of the financial instruments and other receivables. The Group believes the risk is low because the trading parties are creditworthy banks, brokers and dealers.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group has sufficient operating capital to meet cash requirements for settlement of derivative transactions. Thus, liquidity risk is low. As of March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Group had available unutilized unsecured and secured financing facilities (including bills and letters) of $1,765,000 thousand, $2,005,000 thousand and $1,505,000 thousand, respectively.
