Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of China Petrochemical Development Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of China Petrochemical Development Corporation (“CPDC” or “the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and January 1, 2021, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and January 1, 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these 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(p) of the notes to the financial statements, a portion of the land at the Anshun plant ,which is located at Annan Dist., Tainan City, was polluted. CPDC submitted for approval a remediation project proposal to the Tainan City Government in accordance with the related regulations and accrued relevant remediation project expenses. Nevertheless, CPDC has a dissenting view on the government perception about the condition of pollution and CPDC is seeking a way to define its responsibilities. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

3-1

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investee corporations, associates of the Company, 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 4.88% and 1.61% of total assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the related share of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method constituting 11.52% and 6.46% of 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

  1. Revenue recognition

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

Description of key audit matter:

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

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

  • Testing CPDC’ s internal accounting controls surrounding revenue recognition and key manual and systems-based controls in the order-to-cash transaction cycle. In addition, 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 CPDC. 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.

  • Assessment of the fair value of investment property

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

Description of key audit matter:

The book value of investment property of CPDC represented 33% of total assets as of December 31, 2022, which is deemed to be significant. CPDC evaluates the fair value of investment property according to IAS40, and re-measure such fair value on the reporting date. Because the valuation of investment property at fair value demands significant professional judgments, the assessment of fair value of investment property is considered one of the key audit matters.

3-2

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included:

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

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

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

  • Impairment assessment of property, plant, and equipment

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

Description of key audit matter:

The book value of property, plant, and equipment of CPDC represented 14% of 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 CPDC, and also affect the estimated economic benefits and recoverable amounts of these assets that the management of CPDC may estimate and determine in the future of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) of the assets, and to evaluate whether there are signs of impairment. The recoverable amounts of 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.

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

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

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

3-3

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3-4

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

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

The Company migrated to No.1, Jingjian Rd., Dashe Dist., Kaohsiung City 815, Taiwan (R.O.C.) on July 18, 2016. The Company 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 financial statements:

The accompanying financial statements 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 Company’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 effects on the accompanying financial statements are the same as the consolidated financial statements, please refer to note 3 of the consolidated financial statements.

  • (ii) Other amendments

The following amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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

  • ●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 Company 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 financial statements:

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “the Regulations”).

(Continued)

10

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

  • (b) Functional and presentation currency

  • (i) Basis of measurement

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

  • 1) Financial instruments 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 property is measured at fair value.

  • 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(p)).

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The 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) Foreign currency

  • (i) Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies of the Company 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 currency 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 hedges are effective; or

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

(Continued)

11

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

(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 Company disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to noncontrolling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary 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.

(d) 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 Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability 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.

(Continued)

12

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits 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 Company's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

(f) Financial instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company 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) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company 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.

(Continued)

13

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

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

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 Company'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 Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

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 Company 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 Company'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.

(Continued)

14

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

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 Company's continuing recognition of the assets.

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

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

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

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company 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 Company 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 Company's claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. nonrecourse features)

  • 6) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and trade receivables, other receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI, 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 Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forwardlooking information.

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

(Continued)

15

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

The Company 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 Company in full.

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

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

The maximum period considered when estimating ECL is the maximum contractual period over which the Company 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 Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECL are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

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

  • significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

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

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

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

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

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

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

7) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company 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 Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

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

  • (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

1) Classification of debt or equity

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

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 suplus 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.

(Continued)

17

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

5) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

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

6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company 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.

(g) 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.

(h) Investments in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Company 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.

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

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

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

(i) Investment in subsidiary

In the preparation of financial reports, the Company adopts the equity method assessment method for the investee companies that can be controlled. Under the equity method, in the financial report, the current profit and loss and other comprehensive gains and losses, and in the financial report of the consolidated basis, the current profit and loss and other comprehensive gains and losses are attributable to the owners of the parent company, and the financial reporting owners' equity and consolidated basis the interests of the owners of the parent company in the financial report are the same.

The Company's changes in the ownership interest of the subsidiaries did not result in loss of control and were treated as an interest transaction with the owners.

(j) 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)

19

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

  • (k) 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 Company.

  • (iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a 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’.

(Continued)

20

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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 Company'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

(Continued)

21

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

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

  • - there is any lease modifications

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

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

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

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

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for shortterm leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Company 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 Company applies the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS15 to determine whether the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of the asset. If the transfer of an asset satisfies the requirement of IFRS15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, the Company 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 Company recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor. For leaseback transaction, the Company applies the lessee accounting policy. If the transfer of an asset does not satisfy the requirement of IFRS15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset and recognizes the financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds.

(ii) As a leasor

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

(Continued)

22

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

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

The Company 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 Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other income’.

(m) Impairment of non-financial assets

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

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or 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.

(Continued)

23

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

(n) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably 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.

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

(o) Revenue from contracts with customers

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

(i) Sale of goods

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

(ii) Commissions

When the Company 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 Company, and is recognized in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction.

(Continued)

24

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

  • (iii) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(p) 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 Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculate 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 Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

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

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

(iii) Short-term employee benefits

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

(Continued)

25

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

(q) 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 Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatment, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS37.

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

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

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

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

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

Deferred 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.

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

  • (i) the Company 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:

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

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

(Continued)

26

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

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.

(r) Earnings per share

The Company 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.

(s) Operating segments

The Company discloses information of operating segments in the consolidated financial statements, which is therefore not included in the financial statements.

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

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

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

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

  • (a) Fair valuation of investment property

The Company'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, and intangible assets

In the process of evaluating the potential impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, the Company is required to make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows, useful lives, expected future income and expenses related to the specific asset groups considering of the nature of the industry. Any changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies and could result in significant impairment charges or reversal in future years. Please refer to note 6(h) for further description of the key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount.

(Continued)

27

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

The Company'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.

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

  • (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(y) - Financial instruments.

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 R.O.C. Company Act, 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 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. The supervisor filed the 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.

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.

However, according to the requirement from Ministry of Economic Affairs, both sides were not able to hold the legitimate reelection prior to Janurary 9, 2017 which resulted in vacancy of directors and supervisors of Praxair Inc. In order to strive for the rights and interests of the shareholders, the Company immediately arbitration per joint venture agreement of both sides and applied for an auditor and provisional administrator to instruct the central section office of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to allow Praxair Inc. to conduct the change of registration on July 6, 2017. The Company has filed a request for the arbitration of International Chamber of Commerce in 2018 and received the award issued by the International Court of International Chamber of Commerce on September 3, 2018. A part of the award favored for the Company and confirmed that the Company was entitled to receive the dividends from Praxair Inc. for the year of 2013. In order to protect the Company’ s right, the Company submitted a lawsuit regarding to withdrawal of a part of such arbitration award against the Company to Taipei District Court. On December 13, 2019, Taipei District Court dismissed the Company’s claim of withdrawing the ICC’s decision. The Company filed an appeal on January 8, 2020, but such appeal was dismissed by Taiwan High Court on September 1, 2020. The Company appealed forthwith to the Supreme Court on September 21, 2020. The Supreme Court dismissed the claim of the Company by the judgement on February 24, 2022. The judgment was final and binding and the case was closed.

In accordance with Article 34 of the Regulations on Real Estate Appraisal, the income approach procedures include estimating the effective gross income and total expenses, computing the net operating income, determining the capitalization rate or discount rate, and computing the income. The attributes used by the Company for the estimations above were the last three years’ data from the subject property and comparable properties which have similar characteristics, and these data were assessed and adjusted based on their persistency, stability, and growth to ensure the availability and reasonableness of these data. The movement of income (cash inflows) and expenditure (cash outflows) for future periods was based on the vacancies or losses, existing or future cash flow plans of the Company, 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 Notes to the 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 4.595%~4.720%, 4.345%~4.445% and 4.260%~4.655% respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and January 1, 2021, the weighted average capitalization rate was 4.695%, 5.335% and 5.555%, respectively, derived as the ratio of annual net operating income of comparable properties divided by reasonable price.

Anshun Land Located in Tainan City Annan District:

(i) History

  • 1) The land where the Anshun Alkali plants located was originally established by Japanese company Kanegafuchi Soda in 1938 under Japanese Colonial Rule.

  • 2) The Government undertook construction after the Retrocession of Taiwan, and established a state-owned company, TAIC and operated at the Anshun Site. In 1961, the competent authorities in charge of the relevant state-owned enterprises approved the investment plan and budget for producing Pentachlorophenol and sodium pentachlorophenol products used in herbicides and wood preservative fungicides.

  • 3) Due to operational factors, the plant was ordered to be closed by Executive Yuan Department of Economic Affairs (MOEA) in early 1982.

  • 4) In April 1983, MOEA ordered China Petrochemical Development Corp., the state-owned Company, the subsidiary of Chinese Petroleum Corporation (CPC) at the time, to merge with TAIC. The Company took charge of Anshun land of TAIC.

iii) Others

  • 1) The Company still has the objection on the adscription of pollution responsibility for Anshun land located in Tainan City Annan District and would continue to strive for the possible administrative and law remedy actively.

In view of the jurisdiction explanation No.714, which indicated whether the general successors of polluters bear the burden of remediation responsibilities, was not in the scope of the Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act. Also, considering the previous TAIC was a state-owned enterprise, and the Anshun plant was controlled, supervised, and assigned operations and gained beneficially by MOEA, Taiwan Provincial Government and CPC, such actions should be part of national behavior, yet, the resulting pollution and remediation was asked to be borne by the private legal person. The Company applied to TCG to determine the beginning of the actual pollution or potential perpetrators, and who should pay the relevant costs and penalties. The rejection was made by TCG in November 2014. The Company filed a legal petition in December 2014 and the original disposal authorities revoked the original punishment in March 2014, hence, EPA made the decision not to proceed with the case. The original disposal authorities revoked the previous punishment but simultaneously imposed a new one, the Company also filed a petition to the new punishment. The Company’s petition was decided not to proceed in August 2015 and the Company filed an administrative legal appeal instead, due to multiple errors. Through the rejection of the Company’s request by KHAC, the Company proposed the appeal for remedy in November 2017. Supreme

TAIC established the plant in 1962 and closed the plant in 1975. MOEA in April 1983 ordered the government owned Company which at the time was also a subsidiary of CPC to merge with TAIC.

  • b) Then the plant was subsequently sold to CPC. The New Taipei City Government Environmental Protection Bureau, on August 16, 2010, announced the land as “soil pollution control site”.

  • c) The New Taipei City Government Environmental Protection Bureau issued the letter No. 1000010000 in March 2011 declaring that the Company merging with TAIC was regarded as the surviving company and shall take the responsibility for the rights and obligations of TAIC for soil pollution remediation according to article 75 of Company Act and was deemed as the polluter and required to propose subsequent disposal and remediation.

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. Subsequently, CPC had to remove and relocate its automatic storage equipment, resulting in the relocation process to be extended to December 31, 2023, and the remediation work schedule to be postponed. Due to the above matter, the 3rd phase of the soil pollution control plan of a partial site of Shulin Land of the former TAIC was proposed in November 2021, and the New Taipei City Government sent a letter of approval for future reference on November 9, 2021. The Company is now performing this project according to the soil pollution control plan.

The relevant remediation expense $273,750 thousand was estimated and listed in 2011 according to Financial accounting standards related regulations. However, it will be assessed to adjust for changes due to internal and external factors in future, which may result in significant differences on the entire remediation expense.

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

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

  • 2) Since the change of predetermined place of CPC’s warehouse, the relocation schedule had to be extended to November 15, 2017, 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. Subsequently, CPC had to remove and relocate its automatic storage equipment, resulting in the relocation process to be extended to December 31, 2023, and the remediation work schedule to be postponed. Due to the above matter, the 3rd phase of the soil pollution control plan of a partial site of Shulin Land of the former TAIC was proposed in November 2021, and the New Taipei City Government sent a letter of approval for future reference on November 9, 2021. The Company is now performing this project according to the soil pollution control plan. However, it will be assessed to adjust for changes due to internal and external factors in future, which may result in significant differences on the entire remediation expenses.

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.

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

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.

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.

(w) 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.

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.

  • (i) Credit risk

1) Exposure to credit risk

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying amount of financial assets represents the Company’s maximum credit exposure.

  • 2) The concentration of credit risk

Under the Company’ s credit policy, customers are requested to provide the Company certain financial information like audited financial report, or other related documents for purposes of evaluating their credit worthiness. Credits are granted to these customers according to the result of the Company’ s credit evaluation. Those customers who do not satisfy the requirement shall not be offered credit.

As of December 31, 2022, 82% of the total amount of accounts receivable was composed of 10 customers. Thus, credit risk is significantly centralized.

As of December 31, 2021, 81% of the total amount of accounts receivable was composed of 17 customers and no significant concentration of transactions with a single customer was observed. Therefore, there was no concentration of credit risk.

As of January 1, 2021, 83% of the total amount of accounts receivable was composed of 9 customers. Thus, credit risk is significantly centralized.

  • 3) Receivables

For credit risk exposure of notes and accounts receivables, please refer to note 6(d).

Other financial assets at amortized cost includes other receivables, time deposits and guarantee deposit paid. All of these financial assets are considered to have low risk, and thus, the impairment provision recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected credit losses. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the loss allowance provision both amounted to $0 thousand.

  • 2) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’ 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 and CNY against the NTD as at December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased the net profit after tax by $27,734 thousand and $23,998 thousand for the years then ended, respectively; other comprehensive income would have increased $101,455 thousand and $98,908 thousand for the years then ended, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

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

Due to the Company'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 $212,682 thousand and $24,125 thousand, respectively.

(Continued)

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

(iv) Interest rate analysis

Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Company'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 Company’ 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 Company’ s net profit before tax will decrease by $120,520 thousand and $24,000 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 Company’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:

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

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

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

  • b) Derivative financial instruments

  • 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 can not be developed on its own, the fair value of the counterparty is used as the fair value. According to IFRS13, for the fair value of the third level classified at the fair value level, the firm shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable input values used for the fair value measure. Businesses do not need to create quantitative information to comply with this disclosure, if quantified unobservable input value is not built when enterprises are measuring fair value (for instance, when a firm uses an unadjusted previous transaction price or a third-party pricing information), e.g. part of the Company's investment in nonactive market equity and debt instruments. The fair value of the Company's investment property is level 3, 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 $40,163,983 thousand, $38,850,641 thousand and $37,612,887 thousand, respectively.

The Company 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 equity instruments with inactive market may result in multiple unobservable input values which are all independent from each other.

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

The Company'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.

  • (z) Financial risk management

  • (i) Overview

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

  • (ii) Risk management framework

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

The Company’ s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, 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 Company’ s activities. The Company, 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 Company oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Audit Committee of the Company 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 Company if the clients or counterparties involved in transactions default. The primary potential credit risk is from cash and accounts receivable.

  • 1) Accounts receivable and other receivables

The Company’ s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Company’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.

(Continued)

85

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’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 Company’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Company only on a prepayment basis.

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

2) Investments

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

(iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’ s reputation. The management believes that the Company does not have significant liquidity risk.

(v) Market risk

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

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

1) Currency risk

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

(Continued)

86

CHINA PETROCHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Notes to the Financial Statements

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

2) Interest rate risk

The Company’s interest rate risk comes from long-term and short-term bank loans. The long-term bonds issued by the Company is fixed-rate, 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.

3) Other market price risk

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

  • (aa) Capital management

The Company’s objectives for managing capital is to safeguard the capacity to continue to operate, to continue to provide a return to shareholders, to maintain the 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 Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, reduce the capital for redistribution to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle any liabilities.

The Company and other entities in the same industry use the debt-to-equity ratio to manage capital. This ratio is the total net debt 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, and other equity plus net debt.

The Company’s debt-to-equity ratios at the end of the reporting period as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

The case of loss compensation for the Kaohsiung gas explosion

CPC was issued the permits of road excavation of No.950129 on December 15, 1990 and No.050076 on April 13, 1991 by the Maintenance Office, Public Works Bureau of KCG, who agreed CPC to excavate for the laying of pipelines. The Public Works Bureau of KCG abolished the foregoing permits after the gas-explosion event occurred at the nighttime in Kaohsiung City on July 31, 2014. With regard to the circumstance that administrative agencies shall compensate for the loss in accordance with the laws due to the legitimate abolishment, the Company filed a petition for relief to KHAC in February 2018 in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the Company. In December 2019, KHAC made the judgement that the Company lost the case, and the Company filed an appeal in January 2020. Upon finding the appeal meritorious, the Supreme Administrative Court reversed the original judgement and remanded to KHAC for a new trial.

(g) Contingent liabilities

  • (i) Dispute from the senior manager

  • 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. The court’ s judgement is announced that the compony shall pay $3,785

thousand, with bearing interest, to Mr. Zhang in July 2019. The Company was dissatisfied and filed an appeal to Supreme Court in August 2019, and the part of original judgment that was unfavorable to the Company was remanded to the THCKBC on April 22, 2021. The Company received the judgment in December 2021 from THCKBC who awarded Mr. Zhang $3,764 thousand and the statutory interest by the Company after the case was remanded for the second time by the Supreme Court. The Company was not satisfied with such judgment of second instance and filed an appeal with the court of third instance in December in the same year. The Company received the written ruling in July 2022 that the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, and this case was closed.

2) Disclosure Secret Case

Managers who left the office without authorization was suspected to be involve in business encroachment and theft of business secrets. To protect Company interests, the Company filed criminal appeal. The case was concluded by the Taiwan Miaoli Local Court in December 2016 and the relevant defendants were prosecuted. The civil litigation derived from the case is waiting for hearing by the Taipei District Court and Miaoli District Court. Please refer to note 8 for details of deposit for lawsuit.

(ii) Civil compensation for Residents living in Anshun

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.
