Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of China Petrochemical Development Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of China Petrochemical Development Corporation (“CPDC”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

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

Emphasis of Matter

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

3-1

Other Matter

CPDC has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with an Emphasis of Matter paragraph and an Other Matter paragraph.

We did not audit the financial statements of Taivex Therapeutics Corporation, a subsidiary of the Group. Those statements were audited by another auditor, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amount included for Taivex Therapeutics Corporation, is based solely on the report of another auditor. The financial statements of Taivex Therapeutics Corporation reflect total assets constituting 0.26% and 0.15% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and total operating revenues constituting both 0% of consolidated total operating revenues for the years then ended, respectively.December 31, 2022

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investee corporations, associates of the Group, which represented investments in other entities accounted for using the equity method. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for certain investee corporations, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The investments in certain investee corporations accounted for using the equity method constituting 4.04% and 0.95% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the related share of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method constituting 19.57% and 8.44% of consolidated profit before income tax for the years then ended, respectively.

Key Audit Matters

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

  1. Revenue recognition

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

Description of key audit matter:

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

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

  • . Testing the Group’s internal accounting controls surrounding revenue recognition and key manual and systems-based controls in the order-to-cash transaction cycle. In addition, assessing whether appropriate revenue recognition policies are applied through comparison with accounting standards;

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

  • . Testing revenue transactions recorded around the year end by vouching relevant documents to ensure that the revenue is accurately recognized in the correct accounting period.

3-2

  1. Assessment of the fair value of investment property

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

Description of key audit matter:

The book value of investment property of the Group represented 28% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2022, which is deemed to be significant. The Group evaluates the fair value of investment property according to IAS40, and re-measure such fair value on the reporting date. Because the valuation of investment property at fair value demands significant professional judgments, the assessment of fair value of investment property is considered one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

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

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

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

  • Impairment assessment of property, plant, and equipment

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

Description of key audit matter:

The book value of property, plant, and equipment of the Group represented 19% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2022, which is deemed to be significant. The overall economic trend, market competition and fluctuations in the price of petroleum and petrochemical products may affect the future operation of the Group, and also affect the estimated economic benefits and recoverable amounts of these assets that the management of the Group may estimate and determine in the future of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) of the assets, and to evaluate whether there are signs of impairment. The recoverable amounts of the CGU involved significant uncertainties and professional judgments. Therefore, we consider the assessment for impairment of property, plant, and equipment as one of the key audit matters for our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

  • . Regarding CGUs identified with signs of impairment, we obtained the evaluation issued by the management in order to assess whether current operating conditions, historical trends, and industryspecific situation were taken into account while considering the future operating cash flows.

  • . Regarding CGUs tested for impairment, the valuation specialist from our firm assisted in evaluating whether the assumptions and the parameters of the weighted average cost of capital as well as its relevant factors used by the management for measuring the recoverable amount were reasonable through comparing with the current and industry-specific situation.

3-3

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3-4

  1. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Wu Cheng Yen and Chen Mei Fang.

(English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Report Originally Issued in Chinese) CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, 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. The Company migrated to No.1, Jingjian Rd., Dashe Dist., Kaohsiung City 815, Taiwan (R.O.C.) on July 18, 2016. The Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “ Group” ) 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, and land development. The primary products are acrylonitrile, caprolactam and nylon.

(2) Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements:

These consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 13, 2023.

(3) 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. which have already been adopted.

The details of impact on the Group’s adoption of the new amendments beginning January 1, 2022 are as follows:

  • (i) Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment Proceeds before Intended Use”

The amendment prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use (for example, the proceeds from selling samples produced when testing a machine to ensure if it is functioning properly). The proceeds from selling such samples, together with the costs of producing them, shall be recognized in profit or loss.

The amendments also clarify that testing whether an item of PPE is functioning properly means assessing its technical and physical performance rather than assessing its financial performance – e.g. assessing whether the PPE has achieved a certain level of operating margin.

The amendments apply retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after January 1, 2021. The application of the amendments resulting in the property, plant and equipment to decrease by $101,301 thousand, the exchange differences on translation of foreign financial statements to decrease by $431 thousand, and the unappropriated earnings to decrease by $100,870 thousand, respectively, on January 1, 2021; as well as the property, plant and equipment to decrease by $213,898 thousand, the exchange differences on translation of foreign financial statements to decrease by $1,455 thousand, and

the unappropriated earnings to decrease by $212,442 thousand, respectively, on December 31, 2021; an increase of $111,572 thousand on operating costs, and both the basic and diluted earnings per share to decrease by $0.03 for the year ended December 31, 2021. There is no impact on the cash flows in the said period.

(Continued)

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

In addition, if the Group had applied its previous accounting policy, the property, plant and equipment would be increased by $42,675 thousand, the exchange differences on translation of foreign financial statements to increase by $233 thousand, and the retained earnings would be increased by $42,442 thousand, respectively, on December 31, 2022. The operating costs decreased by $42,442 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022, and both the basic and diluted earnings per share to increase by $0.01 for the year then ended. There is no impact on the cash flows in the said period.

(ii) Other amendments

The following new amendments, effective January 1, 2022, do not have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements:

  • ●Amendments to IAS 37 “Onerous Contracts Cost of Fulfilling a Contract”

  • ●Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020

  • ●Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

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

The Group assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2023, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • ●Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

  • ●Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

  • ●Amendments to IAS 12 “ Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction”

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

The Group does not expect the following new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • ●Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”

  • ●IFRS 17 “ Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “ Insurance Contracts”

  • ●Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”

  • ●Amendments to IAS 1 “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants”

  • ●Amendments to IFRS 17 “Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information “

  • ●IFRS16 “Requirements for Sale and Leaseback Transactions”

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

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:

The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized below. The following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

(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

Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

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

  • 3) Investment properties are measured at fair value; and

  • 4) 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 4(r)).

  • (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) Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company ‘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)

11

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

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Company 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.

(d) Foreign currencies

  • (i) Foreign currency transactions

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. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

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 that 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 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.

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

  • (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 non-current:

  • (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle, except for those related to land development, which usually have a business cycle longer than one year;

  • (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.

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 in the normal operating cycle, except for those related to land development, which usually have a business cycle longer than one year;

  • (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.

(Continued)

15

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

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 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.

(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.

(Continued)

16

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

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. 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.

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.

(Continued)

17

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

  • 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;

  • . 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, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, 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.

(Continued)

18

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

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.

ECL 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.

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 ‘ creditimpaired’ 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 creditimpaired 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.

(Continued)

19

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

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 Group 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.

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.

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

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.

(Continued)

20

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

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.

  • (i) Inventories

  • (i) Manufacturing industry

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present 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 arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

(Continued)

21

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

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. The Group recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual proportionate share.

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.

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.

(Continued)

22

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

  • (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.

  • (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.

(Continued)

23

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

(m) Leases

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:

  • (i) 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.

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, including in-substance 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 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.

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 IFRS 15 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 IFRS 15 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 buyerlessor. For leaseback transaction, the Group applies the lessee accounting policy. If the transfer of an asset does not satisfy the requirement of IFRS 15 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.

(ii) 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.

(Continued)

25

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

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. 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 IFRS 15 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 ‘rent income’.

(n) Intangible assets

(i) Recognition and measurement

1) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses. Refer to Note 6(k) 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.

(Continued)

26

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

(iii) Amortization

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

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

Technology 5~13 years

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

  • (o) Impairment of 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 income tax assets and investment properties, measured at fair value) 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 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)

27

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 of 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)

28

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated 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 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 thennet defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

(Continued)

29

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid 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 IAS 37.

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

  • (ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the 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)

30

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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) 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.

(u) 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.

(v) 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.

(5) 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.

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

(Continued)

32

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

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 deriving 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 6(j).

  • (b) Impairment of property, plant and equipment

In the process of evaluating the potential impairment of property, plant and equipment, 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. Refer to note 6(h) for further description of the key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount.

The Group’s accounting policies include measuring financial and non-financial 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 back testing, renews input data for valuation models, and makes all other necessary fair value adjustments to assure the rationality of fair value. Investment property is evaluated by another appraiser, which is engaged by the Company's financial instrument valuation group.

The Group 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:

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

  • (ii) 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).

  • (iii) 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:

  • (i) Note 6(j) - Investment property;

  • (ii) Note 6(aa) - Financial instruments.

The Group held common and preferred stock of Core Pacific City Co., Ltd., wherein the preferred stocks which were converted into common stocks on October 22, 2021 were recognized as noncurrent financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is for financial investment. The Group does not have a representative at the board of directors or participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. Therefore, the Group does not have significant influence over the investee. A resolution was made during the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Core Pacific City Co., Ltd. on November 8, 2021 to reduce its capital by buying back and cancelling its shares to eliminate the accumulated losses of $5,245,397 thousand and $9,998,925 thousand, respectively, with the effective date set on the same date. The Group received the payment of $3,794,637 thousand of the shares that were bought back on November 11, 2021. The Group recognizes the changes in fair value in profit or loss according to the valuation report. The Group or the external appraisers used the net asset value method and relevant return rate to determine the fair value on valuation date. The amount accounted for gain from investments in equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss was $37,837 thousand and $21,561 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Group was elected as the chairman of BES Engineering Corporation on June 13, 2022, wherein the Group obtained significant influence over it, resulting in the investment of the Group to be reclassified from financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income to investments accounted for using equity method. Upon the reclassification, the fair value was $1,470,919 thousand and the cumulative loss $393,023 thousand was transferred to retained earnings. Please refer to note 6(g) about other related information.

Please refer to note 6(v) for the gain or loss on financial assets recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The director of Praxair Chemax Semiconductor Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Praxair Inc.”) delegated by the Company, was elected as the new Chairman in the directors’ meeting on January 30, 2013. However, Praxair Inc. did not recognize the director delegated by the Company as the Chairman, resulting in the new Chairman being unable to exercise his authority. Also, the supervisor appointed by the Company was prevented from auditing the accounts and records pursuant to the Company Law, hence, the new Chairman and the designated supervisor representing Praxair Inc., filed an action asking the vice chairman and general manager to provide the accounts and records and requested to return the seal, business invasion and others in a criminal and civil lawsuit. The vice chairman delegated by Praxair Inc. claimed privilege to act as the Chairman and filed legal actions declaring the non-existence of the new Chairman’s commission of authority and also sent a letter to the court requesting a dissolution of Praxair Inc., which was rejected by the courts. The supervisor appointed by Praxair Inc. illegally called a temporary shareholders’ meeting in 2013 to propose the dissolution of the Company and reelection of directors and supervisors. Hence, the Company filed legal actions declaring the withdrawal of the resolution from the illegal temporary shareholders’ meetings and the resolutions from the temporary shareholders’ meeting was not established. Currently, the supervisor filed legal action against the manager for submitting the accounts and the records, after winning the 1st and 2nd trial, the defendant appealed but was dismissed by the 3rd trial instance. This case was remanded to the Taipei High Court, but the verdict was dismissed in 2015. The Company was not satisfied with the appeal and it was denied by 2nd trial instance. The judgment was binding and final on December 2017. On the other side, the vice chairman designated by Praxair Inc. filed legal action declaring the non-existence of the new Chairman’ s commission of authority, after the judgment from the High Court that the Chairman designated by the Company won the verdict, the defendant appealed to the 3rd instance, with the Supreme Court dismissing the appeal. The whole case confirms the appointed relationship between the Chairman designated by the Company and Praxair Inc. exists. On November 9, 2016, the letter from Ministry of Economic Affairs states that the former chairman of directors, appointed by the Company, is the Chairman of Praxair Inc., and restored the representative duty per the judgment No. 2455 from the Supreme High Court in 2015. However, according to the requirement from Ministry of Economic Affairs, both sides were not able to hold the legitimate reelection prior to January 9, 2017 which resulted in vacancy of directors and supervisors of Praxair Inc..

A resolution was made during the Board of Directors’ meeting held on September 25, 2019 for the Group to acquire Core Pacific City’s permanent land ownership. The Group won the bidding on the same date. On October 30, 2019, the Group subsequently entered into a purchase agreement with Core Pacific City Co., Ltd. to buy the land located at Songshan District, Taipei City, as a construction site, for the amount of $37,200,010 thousand. Both parties have agreed to put the property, which includes the land and the existing construction into a trust. By the end of 2021, all payments and the transfer of the property ownership have been completed.

On September 8, 2022, in order to apply for the transfer of building bulk, Ding-Yue made a substitute payment to the Taipei City Government for the purchase of floor area right, which was listed as the construction in progress under inventory. On the same date, Ding-Yue signed a supplemental agreement with Core Pacific City Co., Ltd., which stated that bulk reward and corresponding bulk benefit obtained were attributed to Core Pacific Co., Ltd.; therefore, Ding-Yue will pay the incremental bulk benefit to Core Pacific City Co., Ltd. according to the calculation formula stipulated in the agreement.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the capitalized interest on construction in progress amounting to $430,912 thousand and $61,610 thousand, respectively.

In accordance with Article 34 of the Regulations on Real Estate Appraisal, the procedures of the income approach 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 data from the last three years 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.

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

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 and etc. 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, 2022 and 2021 and January 1, 2021, the discount rate was 2.845%~4.720%, 2.845%~4.445%, and 2.030%~4.655%, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and January 1, 2021, the weighted average capitalization rate was 1.130%~4.695%, 1.130%~5.335%, and 1.730%~5.555%, respectively, derived as the ratio of annual net operating income of comparable properties divided by reasonable price.

(iii) 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, and has been categorized as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used.

The Group’ s plan for the development land includes determining the scope of land development, estimating the duration of development, surveying and analyzing costs, obtaining current market prices, conducting on-site surveys, and investigating and analyzing the degree of development in the local environment. There was no significant fluctuation revealed by the assessment of macroeconomic factors, i.e., market indexes, population, employment rate, market prices and rates, market equilibrium, and other relevant market factors; hence, these data were used for estimating the total selling price after development or construction, and this expected selling price was used to derive the price before development and construction.

Investment property included several rentals of real property to others. Each lease contract includes the original non-cancellable lease and the subsequent lease is negotiated with the lessee without collection of contingent rentals. Please refer to note 6(s) for the relevant information including rent revenue and the direct operating expenses incurred.

  • d) The Company has filed series of complaint on those issues according to this Constitutional Interpretation.

  • 7) TCG issued the letter No. 09722000130 and No. 09722003360 in January and February 2008 respectively, and requested the Company to propose a remediation plan for the soil and groundwater pollution of the Anshun plant in accordance with the SGPR Act.

This expense was adjusted to list in 2007 per Financial Accounting Standards and the Company prepaid on behalf of land relations based on the laws and regulations in July 2008. The Company objected to the prepaid expense and land polluter. Hence, the administrative remedy was proposed in July 2008, with Kaohsiung High Administrative court (KHAC) sentencing the Company to pay the expense $88,430 thousand in January 2010. The Company appealed in March 2010 and Supreme Administrative Court sent the case back to KHAC for further trial.

  • 2) Since the change of predetermined place of CPC’ s warehouse, the relocation schedule had to be extended to November 15, 2017, resulting in the remediation work schedule to be postponed as well, which led to the postponement of the initial phase of the soil pollution control plan of a partial site of Shulin Land of former the TAIC in April 2017. The New Taipei City Government sent a letter of approval for future reference on May 18, 2017. Thereafter, CPC complied with the government policy regarding the expansion project of Kuo Kuang power Co., Ltd., in which the relocation site had been changed, with the relocation process being extended to December 31, 2021, resulting in the remediation work schedule to also be postponed. Therefore, the 2nd phase of the soil pollution control plan of a partial site of Shulin Land of the former TAIC was proposed in August 2019, and the New Taipei City Government sent a letter of approval for future reference on August 16, 2019.

6) Actuarial assumptions

The principal actuarial assumptions at the reporting date were as follows:

Discount rate
Future salary increases rate
For the years ended December 31,
2022
2021
1.5%~1.75%
0.5%~0.625%
1%~1.5%
1%~1.5%

The expected allocation payment to be made by the Group to the defined benefit plans for the one-year period after the reporting date is $7,237 thousand.

The weighted average lifetime of the defined benefits plans is 7.08~13.29 years.

  • 7) Sensitivity analysis

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

December 31, 2022
Discount rate
Future salary increasing rate
December 31, 2021
Discount rate
Future salary increasing rate
Impact on the defined benefit
obligations

11,464
(11,112)
(14,960)
15,549
15,117
(14,626)

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 2022 and 2021.

(i) Defined contribution plans

The Group allocates 6% of each employee’ s monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act. Under these defined contribution plans, the Group allocates a fixed amount to the Bureau of Labor Insurance without additional legal or constructive obligation.

The R.O.C. Income Tax Act allows net losses, as assessed by the tax authorities, to offset taxable income over a period of ten years for local tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilize the benefits therefrom.

As specified in Company’ s Articles of Incorporation, if the Company has earnings, after payment of taxation, it shall offset the losses in previous years, and set aside a legal reserve and special reserve in accordance with relevant laws and regulations or requested by the authorities in charge. With respect to any balance herein together with the undistributed cumulative profits from previous years and from the current year, the Board of Directors shall prepare an earnings distribution proposal and submit to the shareholders’ meeting for approval according to the following dividend policy. The Company is in a highly capital-intensive industry, subject to volatility and high levels of competition, where the Company is subject to the influence of the global economy and changes in industrial performance. The Company should take into account the Company's business operations, capital needs and status of the competitive environment, interests of shareholders and the Company's own financial planning in the allotment of its profits. Under such circumstances, the Company may set aside profits into a special reserve either in whole or in part to assure financial stability and sustainability. The Company may allot dividends in cash or stock. In the case that the allotment is made by way of stock dividend, 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

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

Considering the future earnings development, capital needs, industrial competition and the interests of shareholders, the Company transferred the profit of $4,194,973 thousand from the disposal of investment of Xinchang Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. in the year of 2011 as a special reserve in the year of 2012, providing reserves for sustainable development and long-term financial planning. The carrying amount of such special reserve all amounted to $4,194,973 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and January 1, 2021.

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 Rule issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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 Company disposed of the relevant assets on August 18, 2021, and the amount reversed in proportion to the original special reserve was $90,638 thousand. The carrying amount of such special reserve amounted to $4,144,438 thousand, $4,144,438 thousand and $4,235,076 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and January 1, 2021, respectively.

The Company changed the subsequent measurement of investment properties from cost model to fair value model. In accordance with Rule issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, on the first-time adoption of fair value model for the subsequent measurement of investment properties, the Company set aside an equal amount of special reserve when the fair value increment of investment properties is transferred to retained earnings. The Company appropriated to the special reserve an amount of $21,224,233 thousand as of December 31, 2013. The Company disposed of the relevant assets on August 18, 2021, and the amount reversed in proportion to the original special reserve was $964,044 thousand. The carrying amount of such special reserve amounted to $20,260,189 thousand, $20,260,189 thousand and $21,224,233 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and January 1, 2021, respectively.

(Continued)

83

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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. The Company disposed of the relevant assets on August 18, 2021, and the amount reversed in proportion to the original special reserve was $366,904 thousand. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and January 1, 2021, the Company appropriated to the special reserve amounting to $9,466,598 thousand, $6,790,476 thousand and $5,947,347 thousand, respectively.

  • b) 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) 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

Earnings distribution for 2021 and 2020 was decided by the resolution adopted, at the general meeting of shareholders held on May 27, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively. The relevant dividend distributions to shareholders were as follows:

(y) Remunerations to employees and directors

In accordance with the Articles of incorporation, the Company should contribute 3% of the profit as employee compensation and less than 2% as directors' remuneration when there is profit for the year. However, if the Company has accumulated deficits, the profit should be reserved to offset the deficit. The remuneration of employees shall be in the form of cash or shares, whose recipients may include the employees of the Company's affiliated companies who meet certain conditions. The remuneration of directors may solely be cash. The aforesaid profit represents the income before income tax and remuneration for the period.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the remuneration to employees amounted to $11,182 thousand and $124,488 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration to directors amounted to $0 thousand and $82,992 thousand, respectively. These amounts were calculated using the Company’s net income before tax without the remunerations to employees and directors for each period, multiplied by the proposed percentage which is stated under the Company's proposed Article of Incorporation. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or expenses for each period. Shares distributed to employees as employee’ s remuneration are calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on the day before the approval by the Board of Directors.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the actual distribution of the employee remuneration was $78,561 thousand; while the amount for directors is identical to those stated on financial statements. Related information would be available at the Market Observation Post System.

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 strengthening of 1% of the USD, EUR, VND, MMK, and CNY against the NTD as at December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased the net profit after tax by $28,101 thousand and $28,462 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively; other comprehensive income would have increased $10,100 thousand and $9,066 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

  • 3) Foreign exchange gains (losses) on monetary items

Due to the Group's diversity of functional currency, the information on foreign exchange gains or losses on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, foreign exchange gains (losses) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $248,830 thousand and $26,146 thousand, respectively.

(iv) Interest rate analysis

Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Group's financial assets and liabilities.

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 profit before tax will decrease by $243,429 thousand and $25,013 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, assuming all other variable factors remain constant. This is due mainly to the fact that the Group’s borrowings bear floating interest rate.

(v) Other market price risk

If the equity price changes, and if it is based on the same basis for both years and assumes that all other variables remain the same, the impact to comprehensive income will be as follows:

  • 6) 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 cannot 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 (for instance, when a firm uses an unadjusted previous transaction price or a third-party pricing information), e.g. part of the Group's investment in nonactive market equity and debt instruments. The fair value of the Group's investment property belongs to the third level, which is determined in accordance with IFRSs, i.e., outsourcing to external appraisers for assessment based on market evidence (please refer to note 6(j)). 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, 2022 and 2021 and January 1, 2021 was $40,181,547 thousand and $38,867,067 thousand, and $37,626,827 thousand, respectively.

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

Most of fair value assets belonging to level 3 possesses no more than one significant unobservable input value. Only the equity instruments with inactive market may possess multiple unobservable input values which are all independent from and irrelevant to each other.

Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:

  • 7) 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 appraisers' 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 appraisers.

  • 8) Fair value measurements of 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.

  • (ab) Financial risk management

  • (i) Overview

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

  • 1) Credit Risk

  • 2) Liquidity risk

  • 3) Market risk

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.

(Continued)

99

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated 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 that transaction 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.

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.

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

2) Investments

The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits and other financial instruments are 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, corporate organization and government agencies which are graded above investment level, management believes that the Group do 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 far as possible, that it always have 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 do 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 the return.

The Group buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risk. 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 Dollars (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.

2) Interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk comes from long-term and short-term bank loans. The longterm bond issued by the Group is fixed-rate loan, so there is no risk caused by the fluctuations of interest rates and fair value interest rate. The long-term and short-term bank loans with floating-rate are exposed to interest rate risk, but most of risk is offset by cash and cash equivalents holding in floating-rate deposits.

(Continued)

101

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

3) Other market price risk

The Group does not enter into any commodity contracts other than to meet the Group’s expected usage and sales requirements; such contracts are not settled on the net basis.

  • (ac) Capital management

The Group meets its objectives for managing capital is to safeguard the capacity to continue to operate, to continue to provide a return to shareholders, interest of other related parties and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to the shareholders, reduce the capital for redistribution to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle any liabilities.

The Group and other entities in the similar industry use the debt-to-equity ratio to manage capital. This ratio is determined using the total net debt and divided by the total capital. The net debt from the balance sheet is derived from the total liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. The total capital and equity include share capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, other equity and non-controlling interest plus net debt.

    • 1) Labor Dispute

The previous senior manager Mr. Zhang, who left the Company without transferring the duties and authorization, did not perform the duties since July 1, 2013 and the Company issued the letter to request to fulfill the agreement without any response from manager. Hence, the board of the Company dismissed the manager in October 2013. The manager asked the Company to pay pensions pursuant to Labor Standards Act as a labor worker, which was not reconciled through mediation. Kaohsiung District Court considered that the assigned relationship did not end in January 2014, 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 sides, 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. Upon finding the appeal meritorious, the Supreme Court reversed and remanded the judgement. The preparatory proceeding of the first repeated appeal was conducted in Taiwan High Court Kaohsiung Branch Court (THCKBC) in April 2019.

(ii) Contract Fraud of Shanghai industry

On August 6, 2014, the reinvestment company, Weihua and Weiqiang, filed the civil appeal to Yangpu District Court to ask Shanghai Tongye Coal and Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. to pay all overdrafts of the contract.

(iii) Civil compensation for Residents living in An shun

Mr. Chen and others filed civil and national compensation lawsuit to the Company and MOEA on March 14, 2017 (Hereinafter referred to as 1st case of the Tainan Anshun plant civil compensation), they claimed the Company and MOEA 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 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. In November 6, 2020, Tainan District Court considered that 39 Plaintiffs’ s claim is meritorious and dismissed rest of Plaintiffs’ s claim. Due to the controversial issue of extinctive prescription, the Company considered this case worth an appeal based on our unprofitable part of verdict. Therefore, the Company filed an appeal to the High Court on December 15, 2020, and this case is being heard by the Taiwan High Court Tainan Branch Court.

(14) 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 Group 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 (revenue) 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 4. The Group use the operating profit as the measurement for segment profit and the basis of performance assessment.
