Independent Auditors’ Review Report

To the Board of Directors of China Petrochemical Development Corporation:

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial statements of China Petrochemical Development Corporation (“CPDC”) and its affiliates (“the Group”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 by applying the review procedures in accordance with "Guidelines for the Review of Consolidated Financial Statements of Affiliated Enterprises", which are necessary to conduct the review. The review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that no material amendments or adjustments of the consolidated financial statements needed in accordance with the “ Criteria Governing Preparation of Affiliation Reports, Consolidated Business Reports, and Consolidated Financial Statements of Affiliated Enterprises” and with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers

As described in Notes 5(i) and 5(o) of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Tainan City Government and Environment Protection Administration, the Executive Yuan publicly announced that a portion of the land at the Anshun plant was polluted and designated it as under pollution control. 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 in June 2008. This remediation project proposal was approved in May 2009. CPDC also performed related remediation work according to the remediation project proposal. The first phase of remediation project was completed in September 2014. The management of CPDC is expecting that the second phase of remediation project will be completed in the next decade. Likewise, CPDC has accrued relevant remediation project expenses for the second phase of remediation project in December 2014. CPDC still has a dissenting view on the government perception about the condition of pollution and CPDC is seeking a way to define its responsibilities.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Chen Mei Fang and Chung Tan Tan.

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2019

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollar, Unless Otherwise Specified)

(1) Company history

China Petrochemical Development Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) was founded on July 8, 1969 under the approval of Ministry of Economic Affairs, R.O.C. Its registered address is 11th floor, No.12, Dongxing Rd., Songshan Dist., Taipei City 105, Taiwan (R.O.C.). The Company moved to No.1, Jingjian Rd., Dashe Dist., Kaohsiung City 815, Taiwan (R.O.C.) on July 18, 2016. The Company and its subsidiaries primarily engage in the production of petroleum, alkali-chlorine, phosphoric acid and other petrochemical products and by-products and the storage, transportation, purchase and sale of these products, related chemicals and their raw materials. The primary products are acrylonitrile, caprolactam, acetic acid and nylon.

(2) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:

  • (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
Effective date
New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations per IASB
IFRS 16 “Leases” January 1, 2019
IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments” January 1, 2019
Amendments to IFRS 9 “Prepayment features with negative compensation” January 1, 2019
Amendments to IAS 19 “Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement” January 1, 2019
Amendments to IAS 28 “Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures” January 1, 2019
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015–2017 Cycle January 1, 2019

Except for the following items, the Group believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:

(i) IFRS 16“Leases”

IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

1) Definition of a lease

Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in Note 3(m).

(Continued)

8

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Group applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.

  • 2) As a lessee

As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Group. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.

The Group decided to apply recognition exemptions to short-term leases of machinery and leases of IT equipment.

  • Leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments – the Group applied this approach to all other lease.

In addition, the Group used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases.

  • Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

  • Adjusted the right-of-use assets by the amount of IAS 37 onerous contract provision immediately before the date of initial application, as an alternative to an impairment review.

  • Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term.

  • Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

  • Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

3) As a lessor

The Group is not required to make any adjustments on transition to IFRS 16 for leases in which it acts as a lessor, except for a sub-lease. The Group accounted for its leases in accordance with IFRS 16 from the date of initial application.

4) Impacts on financial statements

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognized additional $298,815 thousand of right-ofuse assets and $298,815 thousand of lease liabilities. When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 1.80%. For the purpose of applying to IFRS 16, the Group reclassified right of use of land from Other Non-Current Assets to Rightof-Use Assets, which amounted for $682,373 thousand.

The explanation of differences between operating lease commitments disclosed at the end of the annual reporting period immediately preceding the date of initial application, and lease liabilities recognized in the balance sheets at the date of initial application disclosed as follows:

Operating lease commitment at December 31, 2018 as disclosed in
the Group’s
consolidated financial statements
Recognition exemption for:
short-term leases
leases of low-value assets
Extension and termination options reasonably certain to be exercised
Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019
Finance lease liabilities recognized as at December 31, 2018
Lease liabilities recognized at January 1, 2019

  • (b) The impact of IFRS endorsed by FSC but not yet effective

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 in accordance with Rule No. 1080323028 issued by the FSC on July 29, 2019:

Effective date
New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations per IASB
Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” January 1, 2020
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39 and IFRS7 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform” January 1, 2020
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material” January 1, 2020

The Group assesses that the adoption of the abovementioned standards would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

  • (c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

As of the date, the following IFRSs that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:

Effective date
New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations per IASB
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between Effective date to
an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture” be determined
by IASB
IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” January 1, 2021
Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” January 1, 2022

Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below:

Dates
September 11, 2014
Standards or
Interpretations
Content of amendment
Amendments to IFRS 10 and
IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution
of Assets Between an Investor
and Its Associate or Joint
Venture”
The main consequence of the amendments is
that a full gain or loss is recognized when a
transaction involves a business (whether it is
housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain
or loss is recognized when a transaction
involves assets that do not constitute a
business, even if these assets are housed in a
subsidiary.

The Group is evaluating the impact of its initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations on its consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.

(3) Summary of significant accounting policies:

The significant accounting policies, which have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements, except when otherwise indicated in note 2, are as follows:

(a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “the Regulations” ) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C..

(b) Basis of Preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the following material items in the balance sheets:

  • 1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value (including derivative financial instruments);

  • 2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Available-for-sale financial assets) are measured at fair value;

  • 3) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation (please see note 5(q));

  • 4) Investment properties are measured at fair value.

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

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

(c) Basis of Consolidation

  • (i) Principles of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

(Continued)

12

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from Intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group attributes the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

The Group prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attribute it to the owners of the parent.

  • (ii) List of subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements

The subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Name of investors Name of subsidiaries Nature of business

products and their
derivatives of phosphoric

  • (i) Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

(Continued)

16

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;

  • a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or

  • qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent the hedges are effective.

  • (ii) Foreign operations

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

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 Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to noncontrolling interests. When the Group 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 receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

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

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as noncurrent.

  • (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in 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

  • (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.

(Continued)

17

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non current:

  • (i) It is expected to be settled during the in its normal operating cycle;

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

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

  • (iv) The Group 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.

  • (f)

  • 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 which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’ s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows.

(g) Construction contracts

Construction contracts in progress represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. It is measured at cost plus profit recognized to date less progress billings and recognized losses. Cost includes all expenditure related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Group’s contract activities based on normal operating capacity.

Construction contracts in progress is presented in the balance sheets as the amount due from customers for contract work for all contracts in which costs incurred plus recognized profits exceed progress billings. If progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognized profits, then the difference is presented as amount due to customers for contract work in the balance sheets.

(h) Financial instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade 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. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(Continued)

18

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • (i) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • 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:

  • 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 amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, 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 )

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group 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.

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 is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

  • 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 Group 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)

19

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated 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) Business model assessment

The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:

  • the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management’ s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;

  • how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’ s management;

  • the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;

  • how managers of the business are compensated ─ e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and

  • the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, and are consistent with the Group’s continuing recognition of the assets.

Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.

  • 5) Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

For the purposes of this assessment, “ principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. “Interest” is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:

  • contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;

(Continued)

20

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features;

  • prepayment and extension features; and

  • terms that limit the Group’ s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. nonrecourse features)

  • 6) Impairment of financial assets

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

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

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group 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 Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full.

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

12-month ECL are the portion of ECL that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months 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 ECL is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

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 Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

(Continued)

21

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI 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 asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;

  • 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 the assets.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Group 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 Group 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 Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

  • 7)

  • Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

(Continued)

22

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2) Equity instrument

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

3) Treasury shares

When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be written down).

4) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is 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.

5) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

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.

  • 6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(i) Inventories

  • (i) Manufacturing industry

The inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on 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. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(ii) Construction industry

Inventories of the construction business are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes expenditure incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition and capitalized borrowing costs.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The net realizable value is estimated as follows:

  • 1) Land held for development: net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses, or estimated by recent market value (development analytical method or comparison method).

  • 2) Construction-in-progress: net realizable value is the estimated selling price (current market condition) in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses, or estimated by recent market value.

(j) Investments in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint 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 arise from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The consolidated financial statements include the Group’ s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases.

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

(Continued)

24

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

When the Group’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 Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

When the Group subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments, with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under capital surplus. If the capital surplus resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of the associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

(k) Investment property

Investment property is 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 initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognized in profit or loss.

Any gain or loss on disposal of investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognized in profit or loss. When investment property that was previously classified as property, plant and equipment is sold, any related amount included in ‘other equity - revaluation surplus’ is transferred to retained earnings.

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.

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

(Continued)

25

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • (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 Group.

  • (iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line 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 of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

The estimated useful lives of
periods are as follows:
property, plant
Land improvement 3~30 years
Buildings and constructions 2~60 years
Machine equipment 1~30 years
Transportation equipment 2~40 years
Other equipment 2~13 years

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

  • (iv) Reclassification to investment property

When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is remeasured to fair value and reclassified accordingly. Any gain arising on this remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a previous impairment loss on the specific property, with any remaining gain recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in “ other equity - revaluation surplus” . Any loss is recognized in profit or loss. However, to the extent that an amount is included in the revaluation surplus for that property, the loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and reduces the revaluation surplus within equity.

(m) Leases

Leases (applicable from January 1, 2019)

  • (i) Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Group 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. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

  • 1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

  • 2) the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

  • 3) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of an asset if either:

  • the Group has the right to operate the asset; or

  • the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group 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 Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and nonlease components as a single lease component.

(ii) As a leasee

The Group 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.

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.

(Continued)

27

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

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

  • fixed payments;

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

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

  • 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:

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

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

  • there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or

  • there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option; or

  • there is any lease modification

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 Group 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 Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group 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 Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

(Continued)

28

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

For sale-and-leaseback transactions, the Group applies the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS15 to determine whether the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of the asset. If the transfer of an asset satisfies the requirement of IFRS15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, the Group derecognizes the transferred asset, then measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained. Accordingly, the Group recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor. For leaseback transaction, the Group applies the lessee accounting policy. If the transfer of an asset does not satisfy the requirement of IFRS15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset and recognizes the financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds.

(iii) As a leasor

When the Group 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 Group 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 Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Group 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 Group 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 Group applies IFRS15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The Group 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 interest income is recognized over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other income’.

(Continued)

29

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Leases (Applicable before January 1, 2019)

(i) Lessor

A finance lease asset is recognized on a net basis as lease receivable. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the net investment in the leased asset. The finance income is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the receivable.

Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset, and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.

Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.

(ii) Lessee

Leases in which the Group assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the lease asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the asset.

Other leases are operating leases and are not recognized in the Group’s balance sheets.

Payments made under operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance cost and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance cost is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Contingent rent is recognized as expense in the period in which it is incurred.

At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether such an arrangement is or contains a lease. The specific asset is the lease subject when depended on by the arrangement. The arrangement is the transfer of a right to use the asset when transfers control of the specific assets to the Group.

(Continued)

30

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

At inception or on reassessment of the arrangement, if an arrangement contains a lease, that lease shall be classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. The Group separates payments and other consideration required by such an arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payment reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognized at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. Subsequently, the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognized using the Group’ s incremental borrowing rate. If the Group concludes for an operating lease that it is impracticable to separate the payment reliably, then it treats all payments under the arrangement as lease payments, and discloses the situation accordingly.

(n) Intangible assets

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

1) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses. Please refer to Note 5(j) for details of the accounting policy on the initial recognition of goodwill.

  • 2) Other intangible assets

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets, including customer relationships, patents and trademarks, that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives 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 expenditure, 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.

(Continued)

31

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

Technology 5~13 years

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

(o) Impairment ─ non-derivative financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets, deferred tax assets and investment properties and biological assets, measured at fair value, less costs) 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.

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 Group has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be 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.

(Continued)

32

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(i) Site dismantling

The estimated obligation on the dismantling, relocation or restoration of property, plant and equipment is recognized as decommissioning cost and liability of property, plant and equipment. The relevant costs of assets are adjusted by subsequent price variation for dismantling and restoration. Depreciation is provided per the remaining useful life of the adjusted cost.

(ii) Site restoration

In accordance with the Group’ s published environmental policy and applicable legal requirements, a provision for site restoration in respect to contaminated land, and the related expense, is recognized when the land is contaminated.

(q) Revenue

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group 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 Group’s main types of revenue are explained below.

(i) Sale of goods

The Group 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 Group 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 Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

(ii) Services

Revenue from services rendered is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date.

  • (iii) Construction contracts

Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments, to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract expenses are recognized as incurred unless they create an asset related to future contract activity.

(Continued)

33

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The stage of completion is assessed by reference to the proportion that contract cost incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract cost; survey of work performed; or completion of a physical proportion of the contract work. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(iv) Commissions

When the Group acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognized is the net amount of commission made by the Group, and is recognized in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction.

(v) Financing components

The Group 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. As a consequence, the group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(r) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The Group’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 Group, 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 Group 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.

(Continued)

34

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

  • (iii) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group 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.

(s) Income taxes

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

The Group has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatment, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS37

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:

  • (i) 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 Group 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 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, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

(Continued)

35

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

  • (i) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax 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:

  • the same taxable entity; or

  • 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.

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.

(t) Business combination

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. The goodwill arising from an acquisition is measured as the excess of (i) the consideration transferred (which is generally measured at fair value) and (ii) the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree, both over the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date. If the amount calculated above is a deficit balance, the Company recognized that amount as a gain on a bargain purchase in profit or loss immediately after reassessing whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed.

All acquisition-related transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.

For each business combination, the Group measures any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interest’ s proportionate share of the acquiree’ s identifiable net assets, if the noncontrolling interests are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the Group’ s net assets in the event of liquidation. Other components of noncontrolling interests are measured at their acquisition-date fair values, unless another measurement basis is required by the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC.

(u) Earnings per share

The Group discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, such as employee bonus.

(Continued)

36

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(v) Government Grants

A government grant receivable to the Group as compensation for costs already incurred or for immediate financial support, with no future related costs, should be recognized as income in the period in which it is receivable.

(w) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

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

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC 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.

Management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. 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 consolidated financial statements is as follows:

(a) Fair valuation of investment property

The Group’s investment property is measured at fair value derived from external appraisal reports. When the presumed factors implemented in the evaluation process, e.g. discount rates and return on investment, change due to the evolving market and economy, the change may have an impact on the balance of the recognized assets and profit or loss. For more information regarding the valuation, please refer to note 5(i).

(b) Impairment of property, plant and equipment

In the process of evaluating the potential impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, the Group is required to make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows, useful lives, expected future income and expenses related to the specific asset groups considering of the nature of the industry. Any changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies and could result in significant impairment charges or reversal in future years. Please refer to note 5(g) for further description of the key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount.

(Continued)

37

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group’s accounting policies include measuring financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The Company’s financial instrument valuation group conducts independent verification on fair value by using data sources that are independent, reliable, and representative of exercise prices. This financial instrument valuation group also periodically adjusts valuation models, conducts backtesting, renews input data for valuation models, and makes all other necessary fair value adjustments to assure the rationality of 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.

Information on valuation use hypothesis factors was as follows:

The market price of Caprolactam (“CPL”), the main product of the Company, has declined over the past few years. Recovery of the market price is unlikely as the production capacity of CPL continues to expand. The amount of book value of the Toufen production line CGU was evaluated as higher than its recoverable amount, resulting in a impairment loss amounting to $2,901,096 thousand, which was recognized under the non-operating profit or loss section of the statement of comprehensive income. The value-in-use was discounted by using the pre-tax discount rate of 6.86% for the year ended on December 31, 2019. The recoverable amount was determined by the total of value-in-use and net fair value (fair value, less, cost of disposal), whose evaluation involved an input value belonging to level 3 and was conducted by using the market method.

As of December 31, 2019, the Group provided as collateral, a portion of its property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 7 for details of the related assets pledged as collateral.

In accordance with Article 34 of the Regulations on Real Estate Appraisal, the income approach procedures include estimating the effective gross income and total expenses, computing the net operating income, determining the capitalization rate or discount rate, and computing the income. The attributes used by the Group for the estimations above were the last three years’ data from the subject property and comparable properties which have similar characteristics, and these data were assessed and adjusted based on their persistency, stability, and growth to ensure the availability and reasonableness of these data. The movement of income (cash inflows) and expenditure (cash outflows) for future periods was based on the vacancies or losses, existing or future cash flow plans of the Group, and historical cash flows from the subject property, identical properties, or properties in the same industry. The estimation and computation of the net income were based on the highest and best use of the subject property and have taken into consideration the income generated from comparable properties in the same location based on their highest and best use.

External appraisers use the risk premium method to decide on the direct capitalization rate and discount rate. The fixed deposit interest rate, government bonds rate, real estate investment risk, money supply-demand variation, the trend of real estate value are taken into consideration to decide the likely rate of return on the most common investment as a basis in order to derive the capitalization rate or discount rate. The differences in individual characteristics between the above most common investment and the subject property are compared in terms of their liquidity, risk, appreciation, and management. As of December 31, 2019, the discount rate was 4.380%~4.780%, and the weighted average capitalization rate was 5.525%, derived as the ratio of annual net operating income of comparable properties divided by reasonable price.

(ii) Evaluation through land development analysis

The Group classified its undeveloped land as investment property. The Group adopted the development land analysis approach to measure the fair value of the undeveloped land in accordance with Article 9 of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • (i) To comply with the Order of the Tainan City Government, the Company submitted a remediation plan proposal and accrued relevant remediation plan for approval before June 30, 2008 and evaluated the relating remediation expense of $1,647,200 thousand. In May 2009 and on July 2, 2012, the Company was granted official approval of its remediation proposal and amended remediation proposal, respectively. In September 2014, the Company completed the first phase of the implementation of its plan. It is expected to launch the second phase of the implementation of its remediation plan during the next decade. The Company has submitted the second phase of its amended remediation plan to the Tainan City Government for approval. On December 24, 2014, Tainan City Government notified the Company of its approval and now is under public tender review. The aforementioned remediation costs of the Company were recognized in the total amount of $1,600,000 thousand for the first stage before September 2014. With the launch of the second remediation stage, the Company estimated the cost based on the situation on December 2014 at $1,356,000 thousand. Currently, the Tainan City Environmental Protection Bureau reviewed and adopted the plan on April 14, 2015 and the assessment was announced by Tainan City Government on May 4, 2015. According to the remediation technology and the actual implementation of the subsequence adjustment, the 3rd remediation change plan was proposed on March 2, 2017, which was reviewed and adopted on Janurary 3, 2018. Please refer to note 5(i) for more information.

  • (ii) 1) The Company’s four parcels of land at Dongshan section, Shulin district, New Taipei City were the original location of TAIC’ s Shulin plants, but then sold to the Taiwan Chinese Petroleum Corporation (CPC). On August 16, 2010, the Environmental Protection Department of New Taipei City Government has declared that such land as “Soil Pollution Control Site”. In March 2011, the Environmental Protection Department of New Taipei City Government issued letter No. 1000010000. In that letter, the Company was deemed to be the surviving entity, which assumed the rights and obligations of TAIC following its merger with TAIC and TAIC ceased to exist. As the surviving entity from this merger, the Company was therefore declared as the polluter and was required to submit a remedial plan.

  • 2) Since the change of predetermined place of CPC’s warehouse, the relocation schedule had to be extended to November 15, 2017. The remediation work schedule was postponed so that the soil pollution control plan (change plan) of Shulin Land of former Taiwan Alkali Co., Ltd (part of the sites) was proposed in April 2017. New Taipei City Government sent the letter to agree for future reference on May18, 2017. Because of the different dynamic factors for the predetermined place of CPC’s warehouse, the relocation process was extended to December 31, 2021 and the remediation work schedule had to be postponed. Therefore, the “soil pollution control plan (the 2nd change plan) of Shulin Land of former Taiwan Alkali Co., Ltd (part of the sites)” was proposed in August, 2019, and New Taipei City Government agreed for future reference on August 16, 2019. We are now performing this project subject to the soil pollution control plan. However, it will be assessed to adjust for changes due to internal and external factors in future, which may result in significant differences on the entire remediation expenses.

The weighted average lifetime of the defined benefits plans is 1.00 13.18 years.

7) Sensitivity analysis

In determining the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the Group’ s management makes judgments and estimates in determining certain actuarial assumptions on the balance sheet date, which includes employee turnover rate and future salary changes. Changes in actuarial assumptions may have significant impact on the amount of defined benefit obligation.

If the actuarial assumptions had changed, the impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligation shall be as follows:

December 31, 2019
Discount rate
Increase in future wage
Impact on the present value of
defined benefit obligation
Increase by
0.25%
Decrease by
0.25%
$ (16,024)
16,610
16,206
(15,712)

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.

There is no change in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of sensitivity analysis for 2019 and 2018.

(iii) Retained earnings

The Company distributes dividends depending on the level of earnings of each year, funding needs, industrial environment, and status of competition, long-term operating plan and interests of shareholders. Under such circumstances, the Company may appropriate for special reserve either in whole or in part to assure financial stability and sustainability. The Company may distribute dividends in cash or stock. If the earnings distribution is made in the form of stock dividends, the ratio for the stock dividend shall not exceed 50% of the total distribution unless the ratio of the Company’ s total liabilities to total assets is equivalent or above 50% or otherwise prescribed in relevant laws and regulations.

1) Legal reserve

According to the amendment of the R.O.C. Company Act, the Company must retain 10% of its after-tax annual earnings as legal reserve until such retention equals the amount of total capital. When a company incurs no loss, it may, pursuant to a resolution by a shareholders’ meeting, distribute its legal reserve by issuing new shares or by distributing cash, and only the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25% of capital may be distributed.

2) Special reserve

By adopting the exemptions allowed under IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards during the Company’ s first-time adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission (IFRSs), unrealized asset revaluation gains in shareholders’ equity of $5,281,790 thousand was reclassified to retained earnings. The net increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs amounted to $4,235,076 thousand. In accordance with Ruling No. 1010012865 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on 6 April 2012, a special reserve is appropriated from the distribution of retained earnings as a result of an increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs. When the related assets are used, disposed of, or reclassified, this special reserve is reversed as distributable earnings proportionately. The carrying amount of special reserve amounted to $4,235,076 thousand as of December 31, 2019.

In 2014, the Group changed the subsequent measurement of investment properties from cost model to fair value model.

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For every year the Company distributes earnings, a special reserve is appropriated in the following order:

  • a) Each year, a special reserve is appropriated from current year’ s net income and prior years’ undistributed earnings for the same amount as the net increase in the fair value of investment property using the fair value model. A special reserve is also appropriated for the same amount as the cumulated net increase in the fair value for the year when the undistributed earnings are not distributed. When the investment property is disposed of, this special reserve is reverted proportionately to distributable earnings. As of December 31, 2019, the Company appropriated to the special reserve an amount of $5,835,980 thousand.

  • b) In accordance with Ruling No. 1010047490 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on November 21, 2012, a special reserve is appropriated by the parent company for the difference between market value and book value of parent company shares being held by a subsidiary times the percentage of the parent company’s equity investment in the said subsidiary, if the stock price of the parent company is lower than the its value. If the market value recovers subsequently, this special reserve is reverted proportionately to distributable earnings.

  • c) In accordance with Ruling No. 1010012865 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on April 6, 2012, a portion of current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings is appropriated as a special reserve during earnings distribution. Such appropriation of special reserve is based on the difference between the total net amount of contra accounts in the shareholders’ equity and the carrying amount of special reserve. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior period earnings (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) is likewise appropriated as a special reserve on account of cumulative changes to other shareholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods. The subsequent reversals of the contra accounts in the shareholders’ equity shall qualify for additional earnings distributions.

  • 3) Earnings Distribution

On May 4, 2019, the shareholders’ meeting decided to appropriate the Company’s 2018 earnings in cash and in shares, both in the amount of $1,349,929 thousand.

On March 27, 2020, the Board of Directors proposed to appropriate the Company’s 2019 earnings with a cash dividend of $0.3 per share, totaling $985,455 thousand.

(ii) Credit risk

1) Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Group’ s maximum credit exposure. As of December 31, 2019, the maximum exposures to credit risk amounted to $26,251,861 thousand.

2) The concentration of credit risk

The sales of the Group are significantly concentrated in a small number of customers. For the year ended December 31, 2019, 70% of the total amount of accounts receivable was owed by 10 customers. Under the Group’s credit policy, customers are requested to provide the Group certain financial information such as audited financial report, or other related documents for purposes of evaluating their credit worthiness. Credit is granted to these customers according to the result of the Group’s credit evaluation. Those customers who do not satisfy the requirements shall not be offered credit.

3) Impairment losses

The Group uses simple method to evaluate expected credit loss for notes receivable and accounts receivable, which means using the existing life time to measure the expected credit loss. For the purpose of measuring, the notes receivable and accounts receivable are grouped based on the characteristic of mutual credit risk, which is the ability for customers to honor the contract and be able to settle the receivables when due. Expected losses of the receivables on December 31, 2019 were as follows:

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and loans, which are denominated in foreign currency. A 1% of appreciation of NTD against USD, EUR, VND, MMK, CNY, INR and GBP would have increased net income by $19,352 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019; other comprehensive income would have increased $9,011 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2018.

  • 3) Foreign exchange gain and loss on monetary items

Since the Group has many kinds of functional currency, the information on foreign exchange gains (losses) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the year ended December 31, 2019, foreign exchange gains (losses) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $20,209 thousand.

(v) Interest rate analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rates on the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. For financial instruments bearing floating-rate, the sensitivity analysis assumes the floating-rate liabilities are outstanding for the whole year on the reporting date. The Group’s internal management reported the increases/decreases in the interest rates and the exposure to changes in interest rates of 1% is considered by management to be a reasonable change of interest rate.

If the interest rate increases by 1%, the Group’s net income will decrease by $22,162 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019 assuming all other variable factors remain constant. This is due mainly to the fact that the Group’s borrowings bear floating interest rate.

  • (vi) Fair value information

The Group uses market observations as much as possible when measuring assets and liabilities. The level of fair value is based on the input value of the evaluation technique as follows:

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

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

  • 3) Level 3: inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

b) Valuation techniques for financial instruments which is not measured at fair value:

The carrying amount of loans and receivables, financial assets carried at cost and financial liabilities measured after amortization cost in the consolidated financial statements of the Group is close to its fair value.

(Continued)

81

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • c) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value:

The Group determines the input value with reference to the analysis of the financial status and operating results, recent transaction price, related equity instruments are quoted in non-active markets, similar tools offer in the active market and comparable company evaluation multiplier of the investee company and periodically updates the input value and information and any other necessary fair value adjustments to ensure that the evaluation results are reasonable.

  • i) Non-derivative financial instruments

Financial instruments, if there is a public market offer, then the public market offer for the fair value, Such as listing (cabinet) company stock and open-end fund beneficiary certification.

The fair value of the financial instruments held by the Group in the case of a non-active market is as follows:

No public offer debt investment tools: The discounted cash flow model is used to estimate fair value, it is mainly assumed that it is measured by discounting the expected future cash flows of the investee by the rate of return of the monetary time value and the investment risk.

No public offer equity instruments: Use the net asset value method, the main assumptions are based on the net per share of the investee.

  • ii) Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments is evaluated according to the evaluation model accepted by the market users, such as the discount method and the option pricing model.

  • d) There have been no transfers from each level for the year ended December 31, 2019.

f) Quantitative information on the measurement of fair value of significant unobservable input values (level 3)

Level 3 refers to the measurement of the fair value of the input parameters are not based on market availability of information, must be based on the assumption that the appropriate estimates and adjustments. If the evaluation model can not be developed on its own, the fair value of the counterparty is used as the fair value. According to IFRS13, for the fair value of the third level classified at the fair value level, the firm shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable input values used for the fair value measure. Businesses do not need to create quantitative information to comply with this disclosure, if quantified unobservable input value is not built when enterprises are measuring fair value (such as when a firm uses an unadjusted previous transaction price or a third-party pricing information), e.g. part of the the Group’s investment in non-active market equity and debt instruments. The fair value of the Group’s investment property is level 3, which is determined in accordance with IFRSs, i.e., outsourcing to external appraisors for assessment based on market evidence (please refer to Note 5(i)). Due to the impracticability to evaluate the relationship between the unobservable input value and fair value, the quantitative information is not disclosed. The fair value of the aforesaid assets at December 31, 2019 is $36,719,706 thousand.

The Group holds investments in equity shares, which is classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or losses, whose fair value belongs to level 3.

Most of fair value assets belonging to level 3 possesses single significant unobservable input values. Only equity instruments with inactive market may result

  • g) The evaluation process for fair value belonging to level 3

The Group’ s fair value evaluation involves observable input value requiring unobservable parameters for significant adjustments or unobservable input value, both of which belong to level 3. The main source of such input value is external appraisors’ reports. The results of the evaluation are then reviewed to assure the consistency with the source of the evaluation and the reasonability.

The evaluation of investment property complies with FSC’ s regulations of the evaluation methods and parameters, and is conducted by external appraisors.

  • h) Fair value measurements in level 3 – sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions

The fair value of the financial instruments is reasonable, and the self-built evaluation model is not used for the fair value of the level 3. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform the sensitivity analysis of the possible alternative assumptions.

  • (z) Financial risk management

  • (i) Overview

The Group are exposed to the following risks due to the use of financial instruments:

  • 1) Credit Risk

  • 2) Liquidity risk

  • 3) Market risk

(Continued)

84

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The following discusses the Group’ s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the risks mentioned above. For more quantitative information about the financial instruments, please refer to other related notes of the financial statements.

(ii) Risk management framework

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight of the risk management framework in order to develop and monitor the Group’s risk management policies and to report regularly on its activities.

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’ s activities. The Group, through their training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Audit Committee of the Group oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’ s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Audit Committee of the Group is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

(iii) Credit Risk

Credit risk means the potential loss of the Group if the clients or counterparties involved in transactions default. The primary potential credit risk is from cash and accounts receivable.

1) Accounts receivable and other receivables

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk, particularly in the current deteriorating economic circumstances.

The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’ s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represent the maximum open amount without requiring approval from the Risk Management Committee; these limits are reviewed quarterly. Customers that fail to meet the Group’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis.

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group establishes an impairment allowance that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables. The two components of this impairment allowance are specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposure and collective loss component which the loss was incurred but not identified. The collective component is based on historical payment experience of similar financial assets.

2) Bank deposits

The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits is measured and monitored by the Group’s finance department. As the Group deals with the banks and other external parties with good credit standing and financial institutions, corporations and government agencies which are graded above investment level, management believes that the Group does not have compliance issues and significant credit risk.

(iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much 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 Group’s reputation. The management believes that the Group does not have significant liquidity risk.

(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 Group’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 returns.

The Group buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Risk Management Committee.

1) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, primarily the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in NTD, USD and CNY.

The Group’s currency risk is not hedged as some of the currencies of the Group’s foreign currency receivables and payables are the same, producing a natural hedge effect.

  • 3) Other market price risk

  • (aa) Capital management

1) Labor Dispute

The previous senior managers, who left the Company without transferring the duties and authorization, did not perform the duties since July 1[st] 2013 and the Company issued the letter to request to fulfill the agreement without any response from manager.

In June 2019, the appeal was dismissed and the judgment was binding and final.

For the part of Mr. Zhang, Kaohsiung District Court considered that the assigned relationship did not end, which means that the Expired Employee Retirement Policies of the Company does not apply. Mr. Zhang request for pension is without any basis, but according to the contract of both side, the Company shall pay salaries of $35 thousand, to Mr. Zhang, which was not satisfied by Mr. Zhang and this case was appealed to the 2nd sentence court. In July 2016, the 2nd sentence court rejected the request from Mr. Zhang but he re-appealed to the 3rd sentence in August of the same year.

(v) Civil compensation for Residents living in Anshun

  • 1) The 1st case

In 2008 and 2009, Mr. Wu and others filed civil and national compensation lawsuit against the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Tainan City Government, Tainan City Environmental Protection Bureau and the Company (Hereinafter referred to as 1st case of Tainan Anshun plant civil compensation) and they claimed that during 1942 and 1983, the previous Taiwan Alkali Co. Ltd. Anshun plant, produced mercury and dioxins in its production operations and polluted the environment, which resulted in the population consuming contaminated fish and shellfish over time, which resulted in long term health issues. The Ministry of Economic Affairs had control and management responsibility of the previous Taiwan Alkali Co. Ltd, and whether due to illegal actions, or a lack of attention in performing their duties, the Ministry of Economic Affairs was the ultimate owner of CPDC, should take responsibility. Hence, the prosecutors claim that the Ministry of Economic Affairs shall take the responsibility for the compensation. Mr. Wu and others also claimed that Tainan City Government and Tainan City Environmental Protection Agency were the competent authorities and executive authorities of the waste disposal law but the authorities did not supervise and require the Anshun plant to implement pollution prevention and control acts, thus should be jointly responsible for any compensation. Mr. Wu and others claim that the Company did not perform any removal and remediation of pollutants after being ordered to merge with the previous Taiwan Alkali Anshun plant, so they claimed the Company shall also take joint responsibility for the compensation. Mr. Wu and others asked the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Tainan City Government, Tainan City Environmental Protection Bureau and the Company to jointly bear the cost of medical expenses and mental compensation for $370,800 thousand and the interest was calculated by an annual interest rate 5% from the date when the litigation was initiated by the defendants until the final payment of compensation. Due to unpaid referee fees, due from the plaintiff, the Tainan District Court rejected the litigation claims from these 17 persons in January 2010. Mr. Chen appealed to the Tainan District Court asking the Company for medication, health examination fee and reparations, to the amount of $2,300 thousand, which was incorporated into this case, the total compensation amount was $351,750 thousand. This case was tried by the Tainan District Court in December 2015 and judged that the Company and the Ministry of Economic Affairs to be jointly responsible for $160,000 thousand payable to the plaintiff. The Company was not satisfied with the result and filed an appeal. In August of 2017, the High court sentenced the Company to compensate the plaintiff for $190,000 thousand, which the Company was not satisfied with and had proposed the appeal for remedy in September of the same year. The supreme court held oral argument on September 28, 2018, and judgment was sentenced on November 11, 2018, the supreme court sentenced to order the Company to compensate the plaintiff for $190,000 thousand.

  • 2) The 2nd case

Mr. Chen and others filed civil and national compensation lawsuit against the Company and the Ministry of Economic Affairs on March 14th 2017 (Hereinafter referred to as 1st case of the Tainan Anshun plant civil compensation), they claimed the Company and the Ministry of Economic Affairs had to jointly compensate the plaintiff $80,915 thousand. The verdict of the 3rd national compensation in 2008 of the Tainan Anshun plant civil compensation 1st case was cited as the reason to be litigated. However, the Company claimed that there was a misunderstanding of the theoretical and practical nature of epidemiology causality versus the verdict. There were disputable factors on both factual and legal matters. During the 1st and 2nd instance of the Anshun plant Civil Compensation litigation under hearing, the Company once again put forward the relevant academic articles to prove that there was no causality between pollution from Tainan Anshun plant and diabetes. Moreover, the plaintiffs in this case, despite the reasonableness of their claims, did not put forth any litigation before the expiry of the statutes of limitations. Thus, in this 2nd case of the Tainan Anshun plant civil compensation, the Company continued to seek for the jurisdiction remedies to protect the Company and shareholder interests.

(13) Segment information:

  • (a) General Information

The Group identifies Arylonitrile & Acetic Acid Department and Caprolactam department as reportable segments based on factors such as product types, manufacturing procedure, customer types, and operating activities.

The reportable segments of the Consolidated Company are independent business units which offer different products and services. Each business unit needs different technologies, resources and marketing strategies, thus should administer separately. The operating segment has a segment manager who is directly accountable to and maintains regular contact with the chief operating decision maker to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment.

  • (b) Information for each segment's revenue / expense, asset, liability, measurement basis, and adjustment

Non-operating income and loss, income tax expense and non-recurring gain or loss is not allocated to reportable segments. In addition, not all of the profit or loss of the reportable segments include significant non-cash items other than depreciation and amortization. Total reportable segments’ profit or loss is reconciled with the continuing operations’ profit or loss before tax.

There was no material inconsistency between the accounting policies adopted for the operating segment and the accounting policies described in Note 3. The Consolidated Company use the operating profit as the measurement for segment profit and the basis of performance assessment. Operating segments’ profit and loss and total assets exclude operating expenses and assets of the corporate management.
