  1. Operating Revenue

The 2020 operating revenues decreased by 41% versus the previous year, mainly due to the following reasons:

  • (1) The revenues from Acrylonitrile (AN) and related byproducts were NT$7.35 billion in 2020, decreased 28% or NT$2.907 billion from NT$10.257 billion versus the previous year. The decrease was mainly from 27% decrease in unit prices versus the previous year for Acrylonitrile (AN) products.

  • (2) The revenues from Caprolactam (CPL) and byproduct were NT$6.77 billion in 2020, decreased 55% or NT$8.388 billion from NT$15.158 billion versus the previous year. The decrease was mainly from a 24% decrease in unit prices and a 50% decrease in sales volumes versus the previous year for Caprolactam (CPL) products.

  • (3) The revenues from other departments (including subsidiaries) were NT$3.463 billion, decreased 18% or NT$746 million from NT$4.209 billion versus the previous year. It mainly resulted from a decrease in subsidiary revenues from trading versus the previous year caused by the pandemic.

  • Operating Profit

The 2020 operating profit decreased by 343% or NT$1.404 billion versus the previous year, mainly due to the following reasons:

Therefore, Caprolactam (CPL) around the globe are sold to Taiwan at low prices that affected the sales volume, selling price, and gross profit. While overall costs were diligently controlled to reduce loss by NT$178 million as compared to the previous year.

  • (2) With regard to Acrylonitrile (AN), due to the pandemic and volatile oil prices, topped with supply increase from new production capacity, the selling price dropped significantly and the profit decreased by NT$1.749 billion as compared to the previous year.

  • (3) In 2020, overall operating expenses decreased by NT$186 million versus the previous year.

  • Non-Operating Profit and Loss

Non-operating profit decreased by NT$356 million in 2020, or by 16%, due to the following reasons:

  • (1) A decrease of NT$3.275 billion from the revaluation gain of financial assets versus the previous year.

  • (2) A decrease of NT$2.901 billion from the asset impairment loss versus the previous year.

  • (3) An increase of NT$785 million from the revaluation gain of investment real estate versus the previous year.

  • (4) A decrease of NT$427 million from equity method profits from subsidiaries and related companies versus the previous year.

Attachment 3

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of China Petrochemical Development Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of China Petrochemical Development Corporation (“CPDC” or “the Company” ), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the statements 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, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Furthermore, we conducted our audits of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No.1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

As described in Notes 6(j) and 6(p) of the notes to the financial statements, a portion of the land at the Anshun plant ,which is located at Annan Dist., Tainan City, was polluted. CPDC submitted for approval a remediation project proposal to the Tainan City Government in accordance with the related regulations and accrued relevant remediation project expenses. Nevertheless, CPDC has a dissenting view on the government perception about the condition of pollution and CPDC is seeking a way to define its responsibilities. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

24

Other Matter

We did not audit certain investments, which were accounted for under the equity method. The financial statements as of and for the years then ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 of those investees accounted for under the equity method were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts for the equity method investees were based solely on the reports of other auditors. These investments accounted for under the equity method represented 1.17% and 1.00% of total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The related shares of investment income from these investees including subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method represented (79.22)% and (0.06)% of income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

  1. Revenue recognition

Refer to Note 4(o) “ Revenue Recognition” , Note 6(v) “ Revenue from contracts with customers” in the financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

Operating revenue is the most important source of cash flow for CPDC, and it is a significant risk accounting subject in the financial statements. So revenue recognition is one of the key audit matters for our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

  • Testing CPDC’ s internal accounting controls surrounding revenue recognition and key manual and systems-based controls in the order-to-cash transaction cycle. In addition, checking and reconciling the sales data recorded between the sales systems and general ledger; selecting samples to assess whether appropriate revenue recognition policies are applied through comparison with accounting standards.

  • Analyzed and compared the sales amounts and volumes for the major customers of CPDC. Based on samples selected, vouched significant transactions from both internal and external documents, to verify the authenticity of the transactions.

  • Assessment of the fair value of investment property

Refer to Note 4(j) “ Investment Property” , Note 5(a) “ Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimation, Assumptions, and Sources of Estimation Uncertainty”, and Note 6(j) “Investment Property”of the financial statements for details about fair value information on investment property.

Description of key audit matter:

The book value of investment property of CPDC represented 37% of total assets as of December 31, 2020, which is deemed to be significant. CPDC evaluates the fair value of investment property according to IAS40, and re-measure such fair value on the reporting date. Because the valuation of investment property at fair value demands significant professional judgments, the assessment of fair value of investment property is considered one of the key audit matters.

25

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

  • Obtain from CPDC management the real estate appraisal report on investment property;

  • Engage another appraiser to review such real estate appraisal report, and to evaluate the propriety of the evaluation method used, and the reasonableness of its main assumptions or input values (ex. discount rate and final rate of return);

  • Evaluate the propriety of the disclosure of fair value of investment property.

  • Impairment assessment of property, plant, and equipment

Refer to Note 4(m) “ Impairment of non derivative financial assets” , Note 5(b) “ Significant Accounting Assumptions and Judgments, and Major Sources of Estimation Uncertainty” , and Note 6(h) “Property, plant and Equipment” of the financial statements for details of the information about impairment assessment on property, plant, and equipment.

Description of key audit matter:

The book value of property, plant, and equipment of CPDC represented 15% of total assets as of December 31, 2020, which is deemed to be significant. The overall economic trend, market competition and fluctuations in the price of petroleum and petrochemical products may affect the future operation of CPDC, and also affect the estimated economic benefits and recoverable amounts of these assets that the management of CPDC may estimate and determine in the future of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) of the assets, and to evaluate whether there are signs of impairment. The recoverable amounts of these assets have been determined based on the discounted cash flows forecasted by CPDC management which involved significant uncertainties and professional judgments. Therefore, we consider the assessment for impairment of property, plant, and equipment as one of the key audit matters for our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

  • Obtain from CPDC management the results of their valuation of fixed assets and understand the significant assumptions used in their valuation model.

  • Review both the calculations of the value in use and the present value of the discounted cash flows forecasted. Evaluate the CGU, and external and internal impairment indicators identified by CPDC management, and ascertain that all fixed assets requiring annual impairment test are covered in the assessment made by management. Likewise, evaluate the reasonableness of the method used in measuring the recoverable amount of the assets (including the realization on the financial forecast, the calculation of recoverable amount and the assumptions considered for the cash flows forecast).

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and 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 the Company’ s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

26

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

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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 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.

27

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 Chen Mei Fang and Chung Tan Tan.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of China Petrochemical Development Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of China Petrochemical Development Corporation (“CPDC”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRSs” ), International Accounting Standards (“ IASs” ), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“ IFRIC” ) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Furthermore, we conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

As described in Notes 6(j) and 6(q) of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, a portion of the land at the Anshun plant, which is located at Annan Dist., Tainan City, was polluted. CPDC submitted for approval a remediation project proposal to the Tainan City Government in accordance with the related regulations and accrued relevant remediation project expenses. Nevertheless, CPDC has a dissenting view on the government perception about the condition of pollution and CPDC is seeking a way to define its responsibilities. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

33

Other Matter

CPDC has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with emphasis of matter and other matters paragraphs.

We did not audit the financial statements of Taivex Therapeutics Corporation, a subsidiary of the Group. Those statements were audited by another auditor, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amount included for Taivex Therapeutics Corporation, is based solely on the report of another auditor. The financial statements of Taivex Therapentics Corporation reflect total assets constituting 0.27% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2020, and total operating revenues constituting 0% of consolidated total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020.

We did not audit certain investments, which were accounted for under the equity method. The financial statements as of and for the years then ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 of those investees accounted for under the equity method were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts for the equity method investees were based solely on the reports of other auditors. These investments accounted for under the equity method both represented 0.95% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The related shares of investment income from these investees including subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method represented 3.57% and (0.06)% of consolidated net income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

  1. Revenue recognition

Refer to Note 4(q) “ Revenue Recognition” , Note 6(w) “Revenue from contracts with customers” in the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

Operating revenue is the most important source of cash flow for the Group, and it is a significant risk accounting subject in the consolidated financial statements. So revenue recognition is one of the key audit matters for our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

  • . Testing the Group’s internal accounting controls surrounding revenue recognition and key manual and systems-based controls in the order-to-cash transaction cycle. In addition, checking and reconciling the sales data recorded between the sales systems and general ledger; selecting samples to assess whether appropriate revenue recognition policies are applied through comparison with accounting standards;

  • . Analyzed and compared the sales amounts and volumes for the major customers of the Group. Based on samples selected, vouched significant transactions from both internal and external documents, to verify the authenticity of the transactions.

  1. Assessment of the fair value of investment property

Refer to Note 4(k) “ Investment Property” , Note 5(a) “ Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimation, Assumptions, and Sources of Estimation Uncertainty” , and Note 6(j) “ Investment Property” of the consolidated financial statements for details about fair value information on investment property.

Description of key audit matter:

The book value of investment property of the Group represented 36% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020, which is deemed to be significant. The Group evaluates the fair value of investment property according to IAS40, and re-measure such fair value on the reporting date. Because the valuation of investment property at fair value demands significant professional judgments, the assessment of fair value of investment property is considered one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

  • . Obtain from the Group management the real estate appraisal report on investment property;

  • . Engage another appraiser to review such real estate appraisal report, and to evaluate the propriety of the evaluation method used, and the reasonableness of its main assumptions or input values (ex. discount rate and final rate of return);

  • . Evaluate the propriety of the disclosure of fair value of investment property.

  • Impairment assessment of property, plant, and equipment

Refer to Note 4(o) “ Impairment of non derivative financial assets” , Note 5(b) “ Significant Accounting Assumptions and Judgments, and Major Sources of Estimation Uncertainty” , and Note 6(h) “Property, plant and Equipment” of the consolidated financial statements for details of the information about impairment assessment on property, plant, and equipment.

Description of key audit matter:

The book value of property, plant, and equipment of the Group represented 22% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020, which is deemed to be significant. The overall economic trend, market competition and fluctuations in the price of petroleum and petrochemical products may affect the future operation of the Group, and also affect the estimated economic benefits and recoverable amounts of these assets that the management of the Group may estimate and determine in the future of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) of the assets, and to evaluate whether there are signs of impairment. The recoverable amounts of these assets have been determined based on the discounted cash flows forecasted by the Group management which involved significant uncertainties and professional judgments. Therefore, we consider the assessment for impairment of property, plant, and equipment as one of the key audit matters for our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

  • . Obtain from the Group management the results of their valuation of fixed assets and understand the significant assumptions used in their valuation model.

  • . Review both the calculations of the value in use and the present value of the discounted cash flows forecasted. Evaluate the CGU, and external and internal impairment indicators identified by the Group management, and ascertain that all fixed assets requiring annual impairment test are covered in the assessment made by management. Likewise, evaluate the reasonableness of the method used in measuring the recoverable amount of the assets (including the realization on the financial forecast, the calculation of recoverable amount and the assumptions considered for the cash flows forecast).

35

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for 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 with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group 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 the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

36

  1. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated 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 Chen Mei Fang and Chung Tan Tan.
