Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of China Metal Products Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of China Metal Products Co., Ltd.(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirement. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Based on our professional judgment, key audit matters pertain to the most important matters in the audit of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 of the Company. Those matters have been addressed in our audit opinion on the said financial statements and during the formation of our audit opinion. However, we do not express an opinion on these matters individually. The key audit matters that, in our professional judgment, should be communicated are as follows:

  1. Revenue recognition

For the revenue recognition account policy, please refer to Note 4(q); for the details of the revenue recognition during the years, please refer to Note 6(w).

Description of key audit matter:

China Metal Products Co., Ltd.’s revenue from the sale of the steel products is recognized when the control of the goods has been transferred to the customer and there is no continuing management involvement and effective control with the goods. The revenue is recognized when the control of the goods has been transferred which is deemed by transaction terms in each sales contract stipulated by the customer and China Metal Products Co., Ltd.. The operating revenue from the sale of the steel products is easily affected by the law of supply and demand principal and other factors in the market. Therefore, the revenue recognition is considered as one of the key audit matters.

KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

3-1

Corresponding audit procedure:

Our main audit procedures for the above key audit matters include: understanding and evaluating the design, operation and implantation of the effectiveness of internal control on revenue recognition of China Metal Products Co., Ltd.; understanding the major types of revenue, contract terms and transaction terms to determine the appropriateness timing of revenue recognition, also sampling the major customers and reviewing the contracts and sales orders to evaluate the revenue recognition; sampling the transaction records of sales around the balance sheet date and obtaining the transaction documents to evaluate the appropriateness timing of revenue recognition; understanding if there is significant allowance for sales return and discount for the days before and after the reporting date.

2. Impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method

For the accounting policy of investments accounted for using equity method’s impairment assessment please refer to the Note 4(h) Investment in associates and Note 4(i) subsidiaries ; for the details of investments accounted for using equity method’s impairment assessment, please refer to Note 6(e) Investments accounted for using equity method.

Description of key audit matter:

Sunflower Investment Co., Ltd., the subsidiary of the Company, had sought administrative remedies for the administrative penalties arose from enterprise income tax, value-added tax, and undistributed earning tax of the Daguangsan non-performing receivable case, which the total amount of tax and penalties amounted to $564,452 thousand. As of the reporting date, the Company has paid $46,174 thousand and estimated the regarding litigation provision at $236,052 thousand.

The estimation of litigation contingent liabilities is based on the management's assessment of the result of litigation which is likely to be unfavorable to the Company. However, there are significant uncertainties in the litigation. Therefore, the litigation provision estimation is considered as one of the key audit matters.

Corresponding audit procedure:

Our main audit procedures for the above key audit matters include: interviewing the Company's management to understand the method of assessment; obtaining management's major litigation memorandum and its provision assessment documents, and reviewing the latest court verdict documents of the major litigation to assess the reasonableness of their estimates; obtaining auditors' legal confirmation letters from external lawyers to verify the progress of pending litigation; assessing whether the Company’ s pending litigation cases and contingent liabilities have been properly disclosed.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing China Metal Products Co., Ltd.’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate China Metal Products Co., Ltd. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing China Metal Products Co., Ltd.'s financial reporting process.

3-2

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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

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

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

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

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

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within China Metal Products Co., Ltd. to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

3-3

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuo-Yang Tseng and Shih-Chin Chih.

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies

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

The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized as follows. The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements, unless otherwise specified in Note 3.

(a) Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following material items in the statement of financial position:

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

  • 2) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as the present value of the defined obligation less the fair value of the plan assets, which is limited as explained in Note 4(s).

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

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

(Continued)

10

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

(c) Foreign currencies

  • (i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Company entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period (hereinafter referred to as the reporting date) are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the translation.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for the following differences which are recognized in other comprehensive income arising on the retranslation:

  • An investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income.

(ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to New Taiwan dollar at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the New Taiwan dollar at average rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign currency translation differences in equity.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planed nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, exchange differences arising from such monetary items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income.

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

An asset is classified as current under following criteria, and all other assets are classified as noncurrent. The entity shall classify an asset as current when:

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

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

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

(Continued)

11

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

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

A liability is classified as current under following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current. The entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  • (i) It is expected to be settled within the Company’s normal operating cycle;

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

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

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

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

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

(f) Financial instruments

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

(i) Financial assets

Financial assets which are trade as regular purchases or sales are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

The Company shall reclassify all affected financial assets only when it changes its business model for managing its financial assets.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

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

(Continued)

12

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

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

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

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

  • 2)

  • Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI )

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dividend income derived from equity investments is recognized on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date.

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

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

(Continued)

13

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

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

4) Impairment of financial assets

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

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

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

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

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

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

The time deposits held by the Company was determined as low credit risk since the trading and performing parties are the financial institutions above the investment grade.

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

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

(Continued)

14

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

  • Significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • A breach of contract such as a default;

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

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

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

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of assets.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

5) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire, or when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial assets.

When the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized from statement of balance sheet.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity instruments

Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.

  • 2) Equity instrument

Equity instruments refer to surplus equities of the assets after the deduction of all the debts for any contracts. Equity instruments issued is recognized as the amount of consideration received less the direct cost of issuing.

(Continued)

15

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified under FVTPL if it is recognized as held-for-trading, derivative or designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled or expired. When the terms of a financial liability are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, the Company derecognizes the original financial liability and recognized a new financial liability at fair value based on the modified terms.

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

5) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are presented on a net basis only when the Company has the legally enforceable rights to offset, and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

6) Financial guarantee contract

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder of a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to pay on due date in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.

At initial recognition, a financial guarantee contracts not designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss by the Company is recognized at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at the higher of (a) the amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9; and (b) the amount recognized initially less, where appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policies set out below.

(Continued)

16

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

(g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. The weighted-average costing method is adopted for inventory costing and the difference between standard cost and actual cost is allocated proportionately to finished goods and work in progress.

Net realizable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses at the end of the period.

(h) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or join control over their financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill which is arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Company recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual controlling power.

Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Company’s interests in the associate.

When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interests in an associate, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

(i)

Subsidiaries

The subsidiaries in which the Company holds controlling interest are accounted for under equity method in the non-consolidated financial statements. Under equity method, the net income, other comprehensive income and equity in the non-consolidated financial statement are the same as those attributable to the owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements.

The changes in ownership of the subsidiaries are recognized as equity transaction.

(Continued)

17

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

(j) Joint Arrangements

Joint arrangement is the arrangement of two or multiple parties with joint controls over a delegated entity. Joint arrangement includes joint operation and joint venture, its traits are as follows:

  • (i) The participants are bound by a contractual arrangement; and

  • (ii) The contractual arrangement gives two or more of the parties joint control of the arrangement.

IFRS 11"Joint Arrangements" defines joint control as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (activities that significantly affect the return of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Company has joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) in which the Company has rights to the net assets of the arrangement , rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. The Company recognizes its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for that investment using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 “ Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” , unless the Company qualifies for exemption from that Standard. Please refer to Note 4(h) for the application of the equity method.

When assessing the classification of a joint arrangement, the Company considers the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the terms in the contractual arrangement, and other facts and circumstances. When the facts and circumstances change, the Company reevaluates whether the classification of the joint arrangement has changed.

(k) Investment property

Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition, and subsequently at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.

Rental income from investment property is recognized as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

(l) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

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

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

(Continued)

18

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

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

  • (ii) Subsequent expenditure

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

  • (iii) Depreciation

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

Land is not depreciated.

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

1) Buildings 3~60 years
2) Machinery 3~20 years
3) Transportation equipment 5~8 years
4) Office and other equipment 2~25 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at least at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (iv) Reclassification to investment property

When changing the usage purpose of self-use properties, the self-use properties shall be reclassified to investment properties.

(m) Leases

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

  • (i) As a leasee

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

(Continued)

19

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • 1) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

  • 2) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • 3) amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • 4) payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • 1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • 2) there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

  • 3) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or

  • 4) there is a change of its assessment of lease period on whether it will exercise a extension or termination option; or

  • 5) there is any lease modifications

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the balance sheet.

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including partial offices, office facilities, dormitory and company cars. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As a practical expedient, the Company elects not to assess whether eligible rent concessions that meets all the following conditions for lease modifications:

  • 1) the rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the covid19 pandemic;

  • 2) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

  • 3) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on, or before, June 30, 2022; and

  • 4) there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.

In accordance with the practical expedient, the effect of the change in the lease liability is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concession occurs.

  • (ii) As a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

(Continued)

21

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

The lessor recognizes a finance lease receivable at an amount equal to its net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs, such as lessors to negotiate and arrange a lease, are included in the measurement of the net investment. The lessor recognizes the interest income over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor’ s net investment in the lease. The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as rental revenue.

  • (n) Intangible assets

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

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

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

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

(iii) Amortization

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

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

1) Computer software 3~10 years

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

(o) Impairment of non-financial assets

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

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

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

(Continued)

22

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

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

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

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

(p) Provisions

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

(q) Revenue

  • (i) Revenue from contracts with customers

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

1) Sale of goods

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

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

(Continued)

23

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

2) Customer loyalty program

The Company operates a customer loyalty program to its retail customers. Retail customers obtain points for purchases made, which entitle them to discount on future purchases. The Company considers that the points provide a material right to customers that they would not receive without entering into a contract. Therefore, the promise to provide points to the customer is a separate performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated to the product and the points on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Management estimates the stand-alone selling price per point on the basis of the discount granted when the points are redeemed and on the basis of the likelihood of redemption, based on past experience. The stand-alone selling price of the product sold is estimated on the basis of the retail price. The Company has recognized contract liability at the time of sale on the basis of the principle mentioned above. Revenue from the award points is recognized when the points are redeemed or when they expire.

3) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. For those contracts which are over one year, the effects of the transaction prices for the time value of money are not significant after the assessment.

(r) Contract costs

If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer are not within the scope of another Standard (for example, IAS 2 “Inventories”, IAS 16 “ Property, Plant and Equipment” or IAS 38 “Intangible Assets”), the Company recognizes an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

  • (i) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Company can specifically identify;

  • (ii) the costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; and

  • (iii) the costs are expected to be recovered.

General and administrative costs, costs of wasted materials, labor or other resources to fulfil the contract that were not reflected in the price of the contract, costs that relate to satisfied performance obligations (or partially satisfied performance obligations), and costs for which the Company cannot distinguish whether the costs relate to unsatisfied performance obligations or to satisfied performance obligations (or partially satisfied performance obligations), the Company recognizes these costs as expenses when incurred.

  • (s) Employee benefits

  • (i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

(Continued)

24

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

(ii) Defined benefit plans

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

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

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

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

(iii) Short-term employee benefits

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

(t) Income taxes

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

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

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

(Continued)

25

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

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

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

  • (iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

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

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

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

  • (i) the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off currenttax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

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

(u) Earnings per share

The Company discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholder of the Company divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(v) Operating segments

The related information on the operating segments is disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

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

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

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

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

  • (a) Judgment regarding acting as a principal or as an agent on commission

In respect of commissions, the Company concludes that the following indicators provide further evidence that it does not control the specified goods before they are transferred to the customer, and therefore it acts as an agent.

  • The Company does not obtained the ownership of the goods and not obligated to the sale of the goods.

  • The revenue is received by the Company, but the credit risk of the goods is undertaken by the supplier.

  • The Company cannot vary the selling prices set by the supplier.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows. Those assumptions and estimation have been updated to reflect the impact of COVID-19 pandemic:

  • (a) The loss allowance of accounts receivable

The Company has estimated the loss allowance of trade receivable that is based on the risk of a default occurring and the rate of expected credit loss. The Company has considered historical experience, current economic conditions and forward-looking information at the reporting date to determine the assumptions to be used in calculating the impairments and the selected inputs. The information on impairment loss, please refer to Note 6(c).

  • (b) Inventory valuation

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

(Continued)

27

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

(c) Impairment of goodwill

The assessment of impairment of goodwill is based on the estimated growth rate, gross profit margin and the income under cash basis, which requires the Company’ s management to determine the valuation method, major assumption and to calculate the equity value. In addition, impairment of goodwill depends on the Company to make subjective judgments which involved highly estimation uncertainty. Please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for the impairment of goodwill.

(d) Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingent liabilities

Provision for unsettled litigation and claims is recognized when it is probable that it will result in an outflow of the Company’s resources and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Since the ultimate resolution of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the final outcome or the actual cash outflow may be materially different from the estimated liability. Please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for further description of provisions and contingent liabilities.

  • (e) Measurement of defined benefit obligations

Accrued pension liabilities (assets) and resulting pension expenses under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise the discount rate, rate of employee turnover, future salary increase rate, etc. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability. Refer to Note 6(s) for further description of the actuarial assumptions and sensitivity analysis.

The Company’ s accounting policies and disclosures included financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. If there is market observable inputs, it will be considered as fair value.

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

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

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

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

For any transfer within the fair value hierarchy, the impact of the transfer is recognized on the reporting date. Please refer to notes listed as below for assumptions used in measuring fair value.

An equivalent amount of special reserve shall be allocated from the after-tax net profit in the period, plus items other than after-tax net profit in the period, that are included in the undistributed current-period earnings and the undistributed prior-period earnings. When the Company distributes its 2020 earnings in 2021, a portion of its current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified to special earnings reserve. When the Company distributes its 2021 earnings in 2022, the after-tax net profit in the period, plus items other than the after-tax net profit in the period, that are included in the undistributed current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings, shall be reclassified to special earnings reserve. A portion of undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified to special earnings reserve (and does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to the net reduction of other shareholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods.

(x) Employees' compensation and remuneration of directors

Based on the amended Company's Articles of Incorporation, employees’ compensation is appropriated at the rate of at least 2.5% and remuneration of directors is appropriated no more than 2.5% of profit before tax, respectively. Prior years’ accumulated deficit is first offset before any appropriation of profit, then calculate the employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors by the appropriate ratio stipulated in the bylaws. The employees to whom the Company distributes employees’ compensation, or issued new restricted employee shares, employee stock option certificates, preemptive right of new shares, and transfer of shares include the employees of subsidiaries which are qualified with the requirements stipulated by the Board of Directors.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, appropriated employees’ compensation by $19,953 thousand and $34,016 thousand, respectively, and appropriated remuneration of directors by $17,815 thousand and $30,371 thousand, respectively, which were estimated on the basis of the Company’ s net profit before tax, excluding employees’ compensation and the remuneration of directors of each period, then multiplied by the percentage of remuneration of employees and directors as specified in the Company's Articles of Incorporation. Such amounts were recognized as operating cost or operating expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The number of shares to be distributed were calculated based on the closing price of the Company’ s ordinary shares, one day prior to Board of Directors meeting. Management is expecting that the differences, if any, between the actual distributed amounts and estimated amounts will be treated as changes in accounting estimates and charged to profit or loss.

There was no difference between employees' compensation and remuneration of directors approved by the Board of Directors meeting and the estimated amount for the year of 2021.

Information on the employees' compensation and remuneration of directors approved by the Board of Directors meeting is available on the Market Observation Post System website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’ s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, borrowings, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 1% of appreciation or depreciation of each major foreign currency against the Company’s functional currency as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased (decreased) the after-tax net income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 by $2,384 thousand and $3,704 thousand, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

As the Company deals in diverse foreign currencies, gains or losses on foreign exchange were summarized as a single amount. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the foreign exchange (losses) gains, including both realized and unrealized, were amounted to $41,534 thousand and $(17,756) thousand, respectively.

(iv) Interest rate analysis

The interest risk exposure from financial assets and liabilities has been disclosed in the note of liquidity risk management.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rates on the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments at the reporting date. For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the variable rate liabilities are outstanding for the whole year at the reporting date.

If the interest rate increases or decreases by 1% the Company’ s net income will decrease /increase by $94,341 thousand and $91,142 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, assuming all other variable factors remain constant. This is mainly due to the Company’s variable rate borrowing.

(v) Other market price risk

If the equity price changes, the impact of equity price change to other comprehensive income will be as follows, assuming the analysis were based on the same and other variables considered in the analysis remain the same:

  • 2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

Financial instruments traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices. Market prices quoted from main exchanges and over-the-counter are the basis of fair value of equity instruments and credit instrument traded in active markets.

(Continued)

57

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

If the quoted price of a financial instrument can be obtained in time and often from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industrial union, pricing institute, or authorities and such price can reflect those actual trading and frequently happen in the market, then the financial instrument is considered to have a quoted price in an active market. If a financial instrument does not accord with the definition aforementioned, then it is considered to be without a quoted price in an active market. In general, market with low trading volume or high bid-ask spreads is an indication of non-active market.

If the financial instruments held by the Company have active market, the measurements of fair value are categorized as follows:

  • The listed redeemable bonds, listed stocks, drafts and bonds are recognized as financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets by the standards and nature. The fair value is measured at the market quoted price.

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

If the financial instruments held by the Company have no active market, the measurements of fair value are categorized as follows:

  • Equity instruments without quoted price: The fair value is measured at discounted cash flow model. The assumption is discounted investees’ expected future cash flows by using the discounting rate which reflects the time value of money and the return of the investment.

  • 3) Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

There were no transfers in either direction for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

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

The Company’ s financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value is “financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss – equity investments” .

Most of the Company’s financial assets in Level 3 have only one significant unobservable input, while its equity investments without an active market have more than one significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs of equity investments without an active market are individually independent, and there is no correlation between them.

Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs is as follows:

  • Inter-relationship

  • between Significant

  • Unobservable Inputs

  • Valuation Significant and Fair Value

  • Item Technique Unobservable Inputs Measurement Dividend • Average expected future • The estimated fair discount model dividend income of 5 years value would increase, (As of December 31, 2022 if the 5-year average and 2021, were expected future $251 ~ 23,510 and dividend income is increased.

  • $14 ~ 26,213 thousand, respectively.)

  • 6) Fair value measurements in Level 3 – sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions

The Company’ s measurement on the fair value of financial instruments is deemed reasonable despite different valuation models or assumptions may lead to different results. For fair value measurements in Level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions would have the following effects on profit or loss and other comprehensive income:

The analysis above only reflects the effects of changes in a single input, and it does not include the interrelationships with another input.

  • (aa) Financial risk management

  • (i) Overview

The Company have exposures to the following risks from its financial instruments:

  • 1) Credit risk

  • 2) Liquidity risk

  • 3) Market risk

(Continued)

(iii) Credit risk

Credit risk means the potential loss of the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investments in debt securities.

1) Accounts and other receivable

The exposure of the credit risk is depend on each customer. The Company assesses the customers’ credit risk based on their basic information, which comprises of the default risk in their industry and country. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no geographical concentration of credit risk.

The Risk Management Committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’ s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered.

The allowance for bad debts is reflected the losses incurred in the accounts and other receivables, which is mainly comprised of specific loss from significant individual exposure and incurred, but unidentified portfolio loss from group assets. The assessment of portfolio loss is based on the historical statistics of payment.

2) Investment

The exposure to credit risk for the bank deposits and financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Company’ s finance department. The Company only deals with counterparties with good credit rating. The Company does not expect any counterparty above fails to meet its obligations hence there is no significant credit risk arising from these counterparties. The Company has assessed the counterparties’ credit rating when invested in financial assets measured at cost, therefore, does not expect any significant credit risk.

CHINA METAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

(iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’ s reputation.

(v) Market risk

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

1) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases, and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Company’s entities, primarily the EUR, USD, JPY, CNY and THB.

The Company held the accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies other than the respective functional currencies of the Company’s entities. The exchange gain or loss from the exchange rates change can be offsetted by exchange gain or loss from short-term loan denominated in foreign currencies, which would mitigate the exposure of currency risk.

The borrowing interest is denominated by the principal’ s currency. The borrowing currency are the same as the Company’s operating cash flow which mainly are NTD and USD.

Other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are using the current exchange rates to maintain the net currency risk at the acceptable level.

2) Interest rate risk

The Company uses the floating interest rates for the long-term and short-term loans which the effective interest rates float with the market change. The Company’ s financial department is measuring and monitoring the market change.

3) Other market price risk

The Company does not enter into a contract, except for the expected use and sales. The contract is not under the net settlement basis.

(ab) Capital management

The objectives of the Board’ s policy are to maintain an optimal capital structure to keep the investors, creditors, the market faith, and the future operation.

(Continued)
