International CSRC Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries (Formerly China Synthetic Rubber Corporation)

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and Independent Auditors' Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders International CSRC Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. (Formerly China Synthetic Rubber Corporation)

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of International CSRC Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:

Authenticity of Recognition of Operating Revenue of Carbon Black Segment

The operating revenue of the Group was NT\$24,431,724 thousand in 2018. Compared with the operating revenue of NT\$20,113,757 thousand in 2017, the year-on-year increase in revenue was NT\$4.317.967 thousand, and the annual growth rate was 21%. The increase in revenue that resulted from the operating revenue of the carbon black segment was \$2,862,307 thousand, which accounted for 66% of the total increase. The increase in operating revenue of the carbon black segment in 2018 was mainly due to changes in raw material prices, market supply and economic conditions.

For the accounting policies, accounting estimates, estimation uncertainty and disclosure related to the validity of recognition of operating revenue, refer to Notes 4, 5 and 37.

We understood and conducted control tests on the design and implementation effectiveness of internal controls related to the validity of recognition of operating revenue of the carbon black segment; and assessed the rationality of the growth of the operating revenue in the carbon black segment through comparison, analysis and inquiring the Company. We also verified orders, delivery notes and invoices for carbon black through sampling, and analyzed the relevance between the prices of major raw materials and carbon black sales unit prices in the carbon black segment.

Other Matter

Of the subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements of CCC USA Corp. and its subsidiaries were not audited by us, but such statements were audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of other auditors. The total assets of these subsidiaries constituted 23% (NT\$11,430,104 thousand) and 24% (NT\$8,671,677 thousand) of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and total revenue constituted 30% (NT\$7,374,592 thousand) and 27% (NT\$5,357,310 thousand) of consolidated total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of International CSRC Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on which we have both issued an unmodified opinion.

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

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

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

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

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

    1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit $2.$ procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
    1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
    1. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
    1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 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 Mei-Hui Wu and Cheng-Hung Kuo.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

International CSRC Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. (formerly China Synthetic Rubber Corporation) (the "Corporation") was incorporated on June 15, 1973 with a factory located inside the Linyuan Petrochemical Industrial Zone in Kaohsiung City, which produces carbon black, a material for tire and other rubber products. The power and steam co-generation system started operations in December 1993. The Corporation also engages in biotechnology research and development. The Corporation's shares are listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

The Corporation spun off and assigned the business related to the domestic Carbon Black Business (including assets, liabilities and business) to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Linyuan Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd., the business related to the Biotechnology Business (including assets, liabilities and business) to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary to be newly established, Circular Commitment Company. After the spin-off, the Corporation transformed into an investment holding Corporation. The spin-off was approved in the shareholders' meeting on June 26, 2018. The Corporation applied for continuing listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The application was approved by Taiwan Stock Exchange on July 17, 2018 with Official Letter No. 1070012290. The spin-off record date was scheduled on October 1, 2018.

Approved by the Ministry of Economic Affairs on October 15, 2018, China Synthetic Rubber Corporation is renamed as "International CSRC Investment Holdings Co., Ltd.". The Company will continue listing with its same stock code: 2104. The Chinese stock short name will be "International CSRC."

The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Corporation's functional currency, the New Taiwan dollar.

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Corporation's board of directors on March 22, 2019.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC), and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) (collectively, the "IFRSs") endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission $(FSC)$

Except for the following, whenever applied, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC would not have any material impact on the Group's accounting policies:

1) Amendment to IFRS 2 "Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions"

The amendment requires that market condition and non-vesting condition should be taken into account and vesting conditions, other than market conditions, should not be taken into account when estimating the fair value of a cash-settled share-based payment at the measurement date. Instead, they should be taken into account by adjusting the number of awards included in the measurement of the liability arising from the transaction. The amendment should be applied to cash-settled share-based payment transactions that are unvested as of January 1, 2018.

2) IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and related amendments

assets

IFRS 9 supersedes IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", with consequential amendments to IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" and other standards. IFRS 9 sets out the requirements for classification, measurement and impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. Refer to Note 4 for information relating to the relevant accounting policies.

Classification, measurement and impairment of financial assets

On the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed as at January 1, 2018, the Group has performed an assessment of the classification of recognized financial assets and has elected not to restate prior reporting periods.

The following table shows the original measurement categories and carrying amount under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories and carrying amount under IFRS 9 for each class of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities as at January 1, 2018.

  • a) Overseas unlisted funds previously classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 were classified mandatorily as at FVTPL under IFRS 9, because the contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and they are not equity instruments. The retrospective adjustment resulted in a decrease of \$14 thousand in retained earnings on January 1, 2018.
  • b) The Group elected to designate all its investments in equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9, because these investments are not held for trading. As a result, the related other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets of \$3,210,491 thousand was reclassified to other equity unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI.

Investments in unlisted shares previously measured at cost under IAS 39 have been designated as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9 and were remeasured at fair value. Consequently, an increase of \$666,917 thousand was recognized in financial assets at FVTOCI and \$657,523 thousand in other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI on January 1, 2018.

The Group recognized under IAS 39 impairment loss on certain investments in equity securities previously measured at cost and the loss was accumulated in retained earnings. Since those investments were designated as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9 and no impairment assessment is required, an adjustment was made that resulted in a decrease of \$6,804 thousand in other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI and an increase of \$6,804 thousand in retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

  • c) Notes receivable, accounts receivables and other receivables that were previously classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 were classified as at amortized cost with an assessment of expected credit losses under IFRS 9.
  • 3) IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and related amendment

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and supersedes IAS 18 "Revenue", IAS 11 "Construction Contracts" and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Refer to Note 4 for related accounting policies.

b. Amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC) and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) (collectively, the "IFRSs") endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2019

  • Note 2: The FSC permits the election for early adoption of the amendments starting from January 1, 2018.
  • Note 3: The Group shall apply these amendments to plan amendments, curtailments or settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2019.
  • IFRS 16 "Leases"

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.

Definition of a lease

Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will elect to apply IFRS 16 only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019 in order to determine whether those contracts are, or contain, a lease. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will not be reassessed and will be accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.

The Group as lessee

Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value and short-term leases will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group will present the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities will be classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion will be classified within financing activities. Currently, payments under operating lease contracts are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Prepaid lease payments for land use rights of land located in the People's Republic of China are recognized as prepayments for leases. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Leased assets and finance lease payables are recognized for contracts classified as finance leases.

The Group anticipates applying IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized on January 1, 2019. Comparative information will not be restated.

Lease liabilities will be recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases currently classified as operating leases with the application of IAS 17. Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities. The Group will apply IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.

The Group expects to apply the following practical expedients:

  • 1) The Group will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.
  • 2) The Group will account for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.

For leases currently classified as finance leases under IAS 17, the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 will be determined as the carrying amount of the leased assets and finance lease payables as of December 31, 2018.

The application of IFRS 16 is not expected to have a material impact on the accounting of the Group as lessor.

Upon initial application of the above amendments, the anticipated impact on assets, liabilities and equity is set out below:

Except for the above impacts, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group continues assessing other possible impacts that application of the aforementioned amendments and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers will have on the Group's financial position and financial performance and will disclose these other impacts when the assessment is completed.

c. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

  • Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.
  • The Group shall apply these amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition Note 2: date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period.
  • Note 3: The Group shall apply these amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • 2) Level 2 inputs are 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); and
  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  • 1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
  • 2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
  • 3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

  • 1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue: and
  • 3) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

  • d. Basis of consolidation
  • 1) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Corporation and the entities controlled by the Corporation (i.e. its subsidiaries).

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Corporation.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Corporation and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Corporation.

  • 3) Subsidiaries excluded from consolidated financial statements: None.
  • 4) There are no subsidiaries that have material non-controlling interests.

e. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Group entities (including subsidiaries in other countries that use currency different from the currency of the Corporation) are translated into the presentation currency - the New Taiwan dollar as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and attributed to the owners of the Corporation and non-controlling interests as appropriate.

f. Inventories

Inventories consist of finished goods, semi-finished goods, work-in-process, raw materials and supplies and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost at the closing date.

g. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized mainly using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

h. Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.

i. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as "cash-generating units") that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the entity disposes of an operation within that unit, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal and is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

i. Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

k. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation. If corporate assets could be allocated to cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation, they would be allocated to the individual cash-generating units. On the contrary, they would be allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

$\mathbf{1}$ Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

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

a) Measurement category

2018

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

i. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is mandatorily classified or it is designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 31.

ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial $\mathbf{i}$ assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable at amortized cost, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for:

  • i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset; and
  • ii) Financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

Cash equivalents include time deposits and repurchase agreements collateralized by commercial papers with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

iii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, they will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

2017

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.

i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when such financial assets are either held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset. The manners of the determinations of fair value were set out in Note 31.

ii. Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when such investments are disposed of or are determined to be impaired.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established.

Available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and presented in a separate line item as financial assets carried at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets can be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between carrying amount and fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income on financial assets. Any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss.

iii. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables, including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties, and other receivables (included in the consolidated balance sheet under other financial assets - current) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Cash equivalents include time deposits and repurchase agreements collateralized by commercial papers with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

b) Impairment of financial assets

2018

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivables) and lease receivables.

The Group always recognizes lifetime Expected Credit Losses (i.e. ECLs) for accounts receivables and lease receivables.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for financial assets stated above with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

2017

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, that the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as accounts receivable and notes receivable, such assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group's past experience of collecting payments, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty, breach of contract, such as a default or delinguency in interest or principal payments, it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization, or the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss is not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. In respect of available-for-sale debt securities, the impairment loss is subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

For financial assets that are carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of accounts receivable and notes receivable where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When accounts receivable and notes receivable are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss except for uncollectible accounts receivable and notes receivable that are written off against the allowance account.

c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

Before 2018, on derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. From 2018, on derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

2) Equity instruments

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

Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.

  • 3) Financial liabilities
  • a) Subsequent measurement

All the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

m. Provisions

Provisions, including those arising from contractual obligations specified in service concession arrangements to maintain or restore infrastructure before it is handed over to the grantor and levies imposed by governments, are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

n. Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Allowance for sales returns and liability for returns are recognized at the time of sale based on the seller's reliable estimate of future returns and based on past experience and other relevant factors.

1) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • a) The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods:
  • b) The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
  • c) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
  • d) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
  • e) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
  • 2) Royalties

Royalty revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

3) Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and at the applicable effective interest rate.

o. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other than stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

p. Employee benefits

1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefit expenses in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group's defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

3) Other long-term employee benefits

Other long-term employee benefits are accounted for in the same way as the accounting required for a defined benefit plan except that remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss.

q. Cash-settled share-based payments arrangements

For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability is recognized for the goods or services acquired, measured initially at the fair value of the liability incurred. At the end of each reporting period until the liability is settled, and at the date of settlement, the fair value of the liability is remeasured, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

Taxation $\mathbf{r}$

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year's tax provision.

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carry forward and unused tax credits for purchases of machinery, equipment and technology and research and development expenditures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

3) Current and deferred taxes for the period

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, and in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

These investments in equity instruments were classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39. Refer to Note 3, Note 9 and Note 10 for information relating to their reclassification and comparative information for 2017.

Dividend income from financial assets at FVTOCI of \$209,503 thousand in 2018 has not been derecognized in the current period.

The financial asset at FVTOCI financial assets pledged as collateral for bank borrowings were set out in Note 33.

For the year ended December 31, 2018

The average credit period of sales of goods was 30-60 days. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Corporation has delegated proper personnel in accordance with the division of duties responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group's credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all accounts receivables. The expected credit losses on accounts receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past collecting experience of the debtor, an analysis of the debtor's current financial position and adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate. As the Group's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group's different customer base.

The Group recognizes a full loss allowance of each individual accounts receivable or writes off accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation. For accounts receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivables based on the Group's provision matrix.

For the year ended December 31, 2017

The average credit period of sales of goods was 30-60 days. In determining the recoverability of an accounts receivable, the Group considered any change in the credit quality of the accounts receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. The Group recognized a full allowance for impairment loss against which receivables arise impairment loss certainly. Allowance for impairment loss is recognized against accounts receivable based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the groups of credit of counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.

The aging of receivables was as follows:

The age of receivables that are past due but not impaired was based on the past due days from end of credit term. For the accounts receivable balances that were past due at the end of the reporting period, the Group did not recognize an allowance for impairment loss because there was no significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable.

As a result of a reduced demand for product A in the markets of some regions, the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the related equipment was decreased. The Group carried out a review of the recoverable amount of that related equipment and determined that the carrying amount exceeded the recoverable amount. The review led to the recognition of an impairment loss during the year ended December 31, 2017. The Group determined the recoverable amount of the relevant assets on the basis of their value in use. The discount rate used in measuring value in use according to the region was 12.40% during the year ended December 31, 2017.

The review led to the recognition of an impairment loss of \$81,609 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2017, which was recognized in other gains and losses in the statements of comprehensive income.

The above items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on straight-line basis and declining balance basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

The investment properties held by the Group are depreciated by the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 9-55 years.

On December 31, 2018 and 2017, the determination of fair value was not performed by independent qualified professional valuers. The management of the Group used the valuation model that market participants would use in determining the fair value, and the fair value was measured using Level 3 inputs. The valuation was arrived at with reference to the cost approach in the Regulations on Real Estate Appraisal. Cost approach refers to an approach used in estimating the value of the subject property by deducting the accrued depreciation or other items due to be subtracted from the reproduction cost. The fair value was \$398,951 thousand and \$416,717 thousand on December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

On April 27, 2017, the Company's temporary board of directors resolved to dispose of the investment property. The carrying amount of the investment property as of date of transfer was \$166,881 thousand. The proceeds price was \$450,000 thousand (including land value increment tax and other tax expenses \$12,994 thousand). The gain on disposal was \$270,125 thousand. The Company collected the total amount and completed the transfer in May 2017.

22. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

The Corporation, Linyuan Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd. ("Linyuan Advanced"), Circular Commitment Company ("Circular Commitment"), Sole Energy Tech Corp. ("Sole Energy") and E-One Moli Energy Corp. ("E-One") of the Group adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the "LPA"), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

The staff of E-One Holdings Ltd. ("E-One Holdings") come from its parent company; thus, E-One Holdings has no pension plan. E-One Moli Holdings (Canada) Ltd. and E-One Moli Energy (Canada) Ltd. have defined contribution plans and make pension fund contributions based on the laws of Canada's government.

The subsidiary, Continental Carbon Company ("CCC"), provides a defined-contribution pension plan for all employees. The company is required to make matching contributions equal to $3\%$ to $6\%$ of participants' salaries.

CSRC China Corporation, CSRC China (Anshan) Corporation, and CSRC China (Chongqing) Corporation as the investment owned by CSRC (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., which are indirectly owned by CSRC (BVI) Ltd. adopted a pension plan under the laws and regulations of China. Under the plan, the subsidiaries are required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement benefit scheme to manage the funds.

b. Defined benefit plans

The Corporation, Linyuan Advanced, Circular Commitment, Sole Energy and E-One of the Group adopted the defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Law, under which pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Corporation Linyuan Advanced and E-One contribute amounts equal to 8.7%, 8.7% and 2.0% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee, respectively. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee's name. Before the end of each year, the Group assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Group is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor ("the Bureau"); the Group has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

Continental Carbon Company ("CCC") has provided pension plans and postretirement health insurance benefits to its employees since 1996, and related liabilities had been estimated.

Continental Carbon India Ltd. ("CCIL") provides pension plan and compensated absences to its employees, and related liabilities had been estimated.

(Concluded)

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Corporation is exposed to the following risks:

  • 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
  • 2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
  • 3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

December 31
2018 2017
Discount rate(s) $1.00\% - 7.50\%$ $1.00\% - 7.50\%$
Expected rate(s) of salary increase $2.00\% - 6.20\%$ $2.00\% - 6.20\%$

If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

December 31
2018 2017
Discount rate(s)
$0.25\%$ increase (3,539) (3,727)

6,285,870
S.
Surplus 8,529,343 3,497,343
17.243.800 9,783,213

The change in shares of the Corporation is mainly due to issuance of ordinary shares for cash and share dividends distributed by transferring retained earnings to share capital.

On May 10, 2018, the Company's board of directors resolved to issue 180,000 thousand ordinary shares, with a par value of NT\$10, for a consideration of NT\$38 per share. On June 15, 2018, the above transaction was approved by the FSC, and the subscription base date was determined as at October 15, 2018, by the board of directors.

The issued ordinary shares, with a par value of NT\$10, carry one voting right per share and carry a right to dividends.

b. Capital surplus

Long-term investments 120,862 2,058
8.894.609 3.713.759

The capital surplus arising from shares issued in excess of par value (including recognized from issuance of common shares and treasury share transactions) may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Corporation has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Corporation's paid-in capital and to once a year).

The capital surplus from long-term investments and employee share options may not be used for any purpose.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

Under the dividend policy as set forth in the amended Articles, where the Corporation made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit unless the legal reserve has reached the Corporation's paid-in capital, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings, setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations if necessary, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Corporation's board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders' meeting for distribution of dividends and bonus to shareholders.

The Corporation may also opt to transfer retained earnings to capital and distribute share dividends to finance its working capital requirements and major investment plans, but the cash dividend payout ratio should be up to 20% of common dividends. For the policies on distribution of employees' compensation and remuneration of directors and supervisors before and after amendment, please refer to f. employee's compensation and remuneration of directors in Note 24.

Appropriation of earnings to the legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Corporation's paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Corporation has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Corporation's paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Items referred to under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and the directive titled "Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs" should be appropriated to or reversed from a special reserve by the Corporation, refer to Note d. special reserve.

In 2017, the applicable corporate income tax rate used by the group entities in the ROC was 17%.

However, the Income Tax Act in the ROC was amended in February 2018 and the corporate income tax rate was adjusted from 17% to 20% effective in 2018. In addition, the rate of the corporate surtax applicable to the 2018 unappropriated earnings will be reduced from $10\%$ to 5%. Tax rates used by other group entities operating in other jurisdictions are based on the tax laws in those jurisdictions.

As the status of 2019 appropriations of earnings is uncertain, the potential income tax consequences of the 2018 unappropriated earnings are not reliably determinable.

The Group manages and maintains sufficient capital to expand operations and meet related capital expenditure. The Group manages its capital to maintain the profitability and financial structure, and ensure that it has sufficient financial resources to fund its working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayments and the payment of dividends to shareholders.

31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

The disclosures of fair value are not required for financial instruments that are not measured at fair value with carrying value approximating fair value.

For the financial assets measured at cost in unlisted shares in 2017 that did not have quoted market prices in active market, the Group would spend amounts that would exceed reasonable costs to acquire verified fair value in practice. Therefore, fair value cannot be reliably measured and is not disclosed.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group's major financial instruments include equity investments, beneficiary certificates, accounts receivable, trade payables, and borrowings. The Group's Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

1) Market risk

The Group's activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below).

There had been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency risk

The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 35.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollars.

The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts the translation at the end of the reporting period for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. When New Taiwan dollars strengthen/weakening 1% against U.S. dollars, the Group's pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would decrease/increase of \$33,612 thousand and \$8,695 thousand, respectively.

In management's opinion, sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk. The exposure at the end of the reporting period did not reflect the exposure during the period because sales is seasonal.

b) Interest rate risk

The Group was exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates.

The carrying amount of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

December 31
2018 2017
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets S 6,900,964 S. 3,021,212
Financial liabilities 619,307 249,992
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets 8,038,742 5,606,840
Financial liabilities 11,442,246 11,406,352

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Group's exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group's pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would decrease/increase by \$17,018 thousand and \$28,998 thousand, respectively.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments. The Group adopted sensitivity analysis to measure the equity price risk.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2018 would increase/decrease by \$357,143 thousand, as a result of the changes in financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2017 would increase/decrease by \$278,783 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation could arise from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.

The accounts receivable of the Group covers a large number of customers and spreads across different industries and geographical regions. The Group continuously evaluates the business and financial status of the customers and monitors the collection of accounts receivable.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivatives was limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

The Group's concentration of credit risk of 58% and 54% in total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was related to the Group's five largest customers.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents, high liquidity in securities, and adequate reserves for bank loan facilities, deemed adequate to ensure the Group maintain enough financial flexibility.

Liquidity and interest risk rate tables

The following table details the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables excluded interest cash flows.

34. SIGNIFICANT CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND UNRECOGNIZED COMMITMENTS

In addition to those disclosed in other notes, significant commitments and contingencies of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

a. Under a contract effective January 1 to December 31, 2019, Linyuan Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd. ("Linyuan Advanced") should buy approximately 6,000 tons of oil per month from China Petroleum Corporation. Linyuan Advanced also entered into oil tank lease agreements with China Petroleum Corporation. The guarantees provided by banks for the aforementioned contracts amounted to \$30,000 thousand.

  • b. Linyuan Advanced entered into agreements with China Steel Chemical Corporation ("China Steel") as follows: (1) under a contract effective January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019, Linyuan Advanced should buy approximately 5,250 tons of carbolic oil 15 per month from China Steel. (2) under a contract effective January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019, Linyuan Advanced should buy 31,200 to 38,400 tons of carbolic oil 12 from China Steel.
  • In November 1998, Synpac (North Carolina), Inc. ("Synpac NC") entered into an option agreement $c.$ with Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") in which Synpac NC granted Genzyme, in exchange for US\$1,000 thousand, an option to enter into a development and commercialization agreement. In March 2000, Genzyme exercised its option and entered into an agreement with Synpac NC for Genzyme to have the license to use the technology and intellectual property rights on the prevention and therapy of Pompe Disease. For this license, Genzyme paid Synpac NC US\$19,500 thousand, which Synpac NC recognized as license revenue since Synpac NC has no ongoing research. Under the license agreement, Genzyme will continue developing the technology and will be responsible for obtaining regulatory approval as well as the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of any product resulting from the developed technology. Synpac NC will receive milestone payments depending upon Genzyme's progress and will receive royalties on net sales, milestone, and bonus from Genzyme. Synpac NC transferred intellectual property rights on Pompe Disease to Synpac Venture Capital, L.P. in 2006. Synpac Venture Capital, L.P. started to recognize license revenue in the fourth quarter of 2006.
  • d. In June 2011, BRC Rubber & Plastic ("BRC"), a former customer of Continental Carbon Company ("CCC"), filed a lawsuit against CCC with the U.S. District Court ("USDC") for the Northern District of Indiana, alleging that CCC repudiated a five-year supply agreement under which CCC had agreed to supply the customer all of its carbon black requirements, but CCC denied this allegation. In June 2013, USDC passed a decision in favor of BRC. In February 2014, USDC required CCC to compensate BRC with US\$982 thousand. CCC filed an appeal for the judgement. The Court of Appeals passed a decision in favor of CCC and remanded back to the lower court for proceedings consistent. In May 2016, CCC filed a motion for final summary judgement. In July 2017, the court passed a decision in favor of CCC. In October 2017, the appeals court ordered both parties to mediate by telephone with the court mediator, but there were no conclusions or agreements reached during the process. In October 2018, the Seventh Circuit United States Court of Appeals remanded the case to the district court for a trial. Based on the legal update letter from CCC's attorney, BRC's maximum damages appear to range from a low of US\$815 thousand to a high of approximately US\$890 thousand. The case was still in progress. According to the suggestion from CCC's attorney, CCC will proceed to mediation with BRC.
  • e. The local taxation bureau levied excise tax on CCIL for using steam and electricity. CCIL filed related documents and records to raise its objection on this levy; as of December 31, 2018, there was \$137,235 thousand (311,277 thousand rupee) of excise tax in progress. CCIL was further fined because it was deemed as not having properly recorded its sales when inventories were transferred to an agent; however, CCIL disagreed with the tax authorities' view that transferring inventories to an agent should be classified as sale and filed lawsuit, and raised an objection in conformity with laws. As of December 31, 2018, there was still \$2,844 thousand (6,450 thousand rupee) of fine. The case was still in progress.
  • f. CCC received notification that require carbon black plants in U.S. have to conform to the standard of desulfurization denigration and dislodging particulate matter from U.S. Environment Protection Agency. To comply with U.S. air pollution laws, CCC agreed with U.S. Environment Protection Agency after received notification from the agency on March 23, 2015. CCC promised that (1) construct related environmental protection equipment by installments to conform to the regulations of emission standards before December 31, 2022; (2) advance environmental protection plans, and the related expenditure was approximately US\$550 thousand. As of December 31, 2018, the related expenditure have been paid out.
