I. Letter to Shareholders
1.1 Business Performance in 2020
1.1.1 Business Fulfilment in 2020
The Company's consolidated revenue in 2020 was NT\$9,349.65 million. Its net income after tax was NT\$ 1,404.26 million, increasing NT\$ 783 million, or 5.91%, over the same period of the previous year. Earnings per share was NT\$ 2.65.
In 2020, the global economy suffered a severe blow because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the domestic steel structure market continued to rally due to demand for steel structures by domestic public construction projects, building construction projects, and factories for homecoming Mainland China-based Taiwanese enterprises. As changes of composition of waste produced in recent years has pushed up their heat value and stability of the Company's equipment has decreased after nearly 20 years of operation, the workload of the environmental protection equipment has increased, which resulted in a slight decrease of volume of processed waste compared with the same period last year. Nevertheless, the overall profit in 2020 still outperforms the previous year. An overview of the Company's business areas is as follows:
1. Steel Structure Business Division :
In 2020, the orders received by the Company amounted to 200,000 tons (public construction accounted for 18%, high-rise construction accounted for 37%, and factory construction accounted for 45%), an increase of 140,000 tons over 2019 or 45% growth. In particular, orders placed for public construction amounted to 40,000 tons, or a 15% decrease over 2019; orders placed for high-rise construction reached 70,000 tons, or a 33% increase over 2019; and orders placed for factory construction amounted to 90,000 tons, or a 128% increase over 2019. The high percentage of orders placed for factory construction reflected an obvious increase in demand for construction of factories. However, the Company's operations in 2020 were affected by the fluctuation of raw materials prices and postponed delivery of factory structures as a knock-on effect of a critical labor shortage in the construction industry. Despite the aforementioned impact on production and building construction, the Company nevertheless reached its profit target thanks to effective internal cost controls by all business departments.
Due to increased volume of production of steel structures by the Hsinchu Factory after its transformation in the second half of 2019, the number of tons (of our products) sold by the Company in 2020 reached about 140,000 tons, up 25.17% over 2019, and the operating revenue reached NT\$ 7,117.9 million, up 19.26% over 2019.
As the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world in 2020, domestic demand for steel structures increased because the number and diversity of China-based Taiwanese businesses returning to Taiwan increased thanks to effective control of the pandemic in Taiwan. The business performance of the steel structure sector is determined by domestic demand. Additionally, loose monetary policy, low interest rates, and hot-money investments in the domestic real estate market were also reasons why the Company received a larger number of orders in 2020.
- Container Department:

The Company's operating revenue for 2020 was NT\$ 145.99 million, up 3.49% over 2019.
-
- Environmental Protection Business:
- (1) Hsin Yung Enterprise Corporation (HYEC): the company's 2020 operating revenue was NT\$ 1,320.22 million, a decrease of 2.39% over 2019, mainly due to the continued increase of heat value of waste and inevitable decrease of equipment stability after nearly 20 years of operation, which resulted in reduction of its processing capacity.
- (2) Super Max Engineering Enterprise Co., Ltd. (SMEEC): the company's 2020 operating revenue was NT\$ 765.54 million, a decrease of 5.04% over 2019, due to operation of new factories established by its competitors, which resulted in downward pressure on prices and therefore a slight decrease of revenue and profit.
- (3) Ever Ecove Corp.: the construction of the company's facilities began in 2020 and 80% of the construction work had been completed as of the end of 2020.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the environmental protection business of EGST is as follows:
- (1) Hsin Yung Enterprise Corporation (HYEC): Hsin Yung Enterprise Corporation mainly processes municipal waste from Taoyuan City. As the population and number of businesses in Taoyuan City have continued to grow and the need for processing household and industrial waste has therefore increased, the COVID-19 pandemic has not made an impact on HYEC's business.
- (2) Super Max Engineering Enterprise Co., Ltd. (SMEEC): SMEEC mainly engages in the treatment of hazardous and medical waste. Thanks to effective control of the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan and capacity increase of domestic high-tech companies due to new orders placed by foreign countries due to increasingly strict pandemic control measures in these countries, the volume of waste processed by SMEEC in 2020 was similar to 2019, and the COVID-19 pandemic has not impacted its business.
1.1.2 Business Targets and Performance Overview
The Company's forecasted consolidated revenue for 2020 was NT\$ 9,699.63 million; the actual revenue was NT\$9,349.65 million. The achievement rate was 96.39%. The forecasted EBT was NT\$1482.68 million. Actual EBT was NT\$1,734.82 million. The achievement rate was 117.01%.
1.1.3 Revenue and Profit Analysis
- Revenue
The Company's consolidated revenue for 2020 was NT\$ 9,349.65 million, a year-on-year increase of 13.08% over 2019, mainly because the Hsinchu Factory began volume production in the second half of 2019, which increased overall production volume of the Company. The operating cost was NT\$ 7,323.35 million, a year-on-year increase of 14.58%. Other net income was NT\$200.5 million, a year-on-year decrease of NT\$77.58 million. EAT was NT\$1,404.26 million, a year-on-year increase of NT\$78.3 million.
- Profit Analysis
The year 2020's return on assets was 6.72%; return on equity was 8.88%; net profit margin was 15.02%; and earnings per share was NT\$2.65.
1.1.4 Research and Development
-
- After transformation of the Hsinchu Factory to steel structure processing, its monthly capacity reached over 3,000 tons in 2020.
-
- The BOX SAW machine, part of the Hsinchu Factory production line, is now operated by one person instead of two, increasing efficiency of our HR resources.
1.2 Operational Strategy for 2021
1.2.1 Operational Direction
-
- Generally speaking, the demand for steel structures in year 2020 remained high. Currently, the Company focuses on continued outsourcing of different business activities for cost control purposes, searching for new contractors for outsourcing, and enhancement of operating capacity and performance of our factories in Xinying and Hsinchu. The Company will continue to carry out quality control, increase its competitiveness, and maintain good relationships with existing clients, as well as seek famous domestic and foreign clients for long-term client base management.
-
- Environmental protection business:
- (1) The Company's priorities are optimization of performance of the machinery and maintenance and enhanced operational reliability of the equipment.
- (2) Due to establishment of new factories by our competitors, our treatment of general industrial waste faces a price war. The Company will endeavor to increase profit by soliciting the business of complicated treatment of high-priced waste.
1.2.2 Forecast of Business Performance
The recovery of the real estate market due to low interest rates, capital inflow and increased sales in 2021 has pushed up the number of new residential buildings and driven a steady increase of new factories, office buildings, electronics factories, and public construction projects. As a result, the steel structure market has grown steadily amid stable economic development. As the continued increase of raw materials prices and ongoing labor shortage continue to impact the Company, it will endeavor to maintain its client base while actively soliciting business of construction projects with higher margins. The company will also seek the consent of clients for adjustable prices of our steel products arrange prepayment in order to enhance operational performance.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to the Company has been relatively minor as steel structures are mainly sold to domestic clients for construction of large buildings, factories, and bridges. Currently, we outsource drawing work for our major clients and the clients that place urgent orders, and our drawings library is adequate. Meanwhile, steel prices in the US, Japan and Korea continue to rise, so the domestic steel price and economy are expected to gradually bounce back.

1.2.3 Key Business Strategies
The domestic steel price hike from 2020 up to the first quarter of 2021, continued expansion of domestic electronics factories, and increased need for steel for offshore wind power construction will continue to drive up domestic steel prices. As steel prices and HR costs are expected to increase in 2021, enhancement of cost control is still our key strategy to improve operational performance.
1.3 Future Development Strategies
1.3.1 Business Strategies

1.4 Effects of External Competitive Environment, Laws and Macroenvironment
1.4.1 External Competitive Environment
Domestic demand for steel structures has increased significantly, thanks to domestic public construction, construction of buildings and factories, and return of some China-based Taiwanese businesses to Taiwan. Nevertheless, market competition remains fierce due to fluctuation of raw materials prices, labor shortage, and client solicitation
5 efforts of competing businesses. As a result, the Company will set the priority of reducing costs, maintaining product quality, enhancing production technology, and strengthening management in order to increase our gross profit.
fierce due to fluctuation of raw materials prices, labor shortage, and client solicitation
Due to the establishment of new waste treatment plants, there is now a price war in the market. The Company will endeavor to increase profit by soliciting the business of complicated treatment of high-priced waste.
1.4.2 Regulatory Requirements
-
- The amendments to the Regulations for the Occupational Safety and Health Equipment and Measure introduced in 2020 regarding refusal, avoidance or obstruction of a labor inspectors does not have any impact on the Company.
-
- The amendments to article 286-3, article 324-7 and article 325-1 of the Regulations for the Occupational Safety and Health Equipment and Measures introduced in March 2, 2020 regarding the requirements for food delivery service providers does not have any impact on the Company.
-
- Steel structure processing: in addition to compliance with regulations governing the manufacturing industry, environmental protection and energy, the Company also has to comply with construction-related regulations in its operations. Amendments of the aforementioned regulations do not bring about big changes and therefore their impact to the Company is insignificant.
1.4.3 Macroenvironment
Prefabricated steel structures are used in the large-scale construction sector for rapid deployment, good seismic resistance, and environment-friendliness. Use of steel structures for public construction of government projects, buildings and factories has led to steady growth of our steel structure business. In regard to our operations, the Company will continue to monitor fluctuations of raw materials prices and endeavor to optimize cost controls in order to maintain a stable profit.
In 2021, the Company will continue to embrace the motto of "safety first, quality first, customer satisfaction, and sustainable operations" for quality management. It will continuously enhance its technical know-how and exploration of manufacturing techniques, carry out strict quality control, comply with its corporate governance guidelines, and safeguard shareholders' interests, while following its environmental protection and corporate social responsibility policies, with the aim of achieving operational stability and maintaining the business philosophy of premium services and sustainable operations.

Each element further contains several items. Please refer to the Regulations for details.
-
- The Company has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system according to the aforementioned criteria.
-
- Based on the findings of the assessment mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the Company believes that during the stated time period its internal control system (including its supervision and management of subsidiaries) was effectively designed and operated and the Company reasonably assured the achievement of the above-stated objectives in terms of operational effectiveness and efficiency, reliability, timeliness, transparency of reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
- This Statement will become a major part of the content of the Company's Annual Report and Prospectus, and will be made public.

5.1.2 Industry Overview
-
- Current Development
- (1) Steel structure industry:
The steel structure industry is a lower stream industry as well as the most important related industry of the steel industry. It also plays a crucial role in the construction industry as it helps other related industries develop. As a labor, technology and capital-intensive industry, the steel structure industry is evidently important for both the steel industry and construction industry in Taiwan. It also heavily relies on domestic demand with a domestic self-sufficiency rate consistently above 90% and under 6% of exports. The MOEA's statistics show that the production value of the metal structure manufacturing industry in 2020 was NT\$59.44 billion, 29% higher than the NT\$46.07 billion in 2019.

Steel structures are applied in a wide array of fields (factories, large stadiums, airplane maintenance hangars, skyscrapers and rail tracks). Compared to traditional concrete structures, they have several advantages including strong seismic capabilities, high strength, and high density, can be mostly manufactured in factories, barely creates any pollution in the environment, and can be recycled, making them an all-time favorite structure in the business. Even though some factories are still built as concrete structures, as manufacturing technology continues to innovate, factories are getting larger with ever-increasing column spacing, span, height and lifting capacity and they are expected to start production even sooner after being built. All these factors have helped steel structures to truly utilize their features and continue to expand their applications in this industry.
Based on the Statistical Yearbook of Construction and Planning by the Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of the Interior, steel structures and steel reinforced structures have accounted for 23.98% to 28.24% of total floor space among the buildings that began construction within the last 3 years. Steel structures have been enjoying consistent market share in recent years.

Note: Others include brick structures, wooden structures, concrete (including reinforced concrete) structures, cold-formed steel structures and others.
In recent years, many multifamily residential buildings have been built across the island that are both tall and high-density. Since the 921 earthquake, low-rise buildings in the suburbs are using light gauge steel frame structures while most buildings downtown with high land prices are steel structure high-rise buildings to fully take advantage of the tenacity of steel to handle any kind of action force. In addition, CO2 emissions will be capped in the future, meaning that we will need to face the environmental issues from manufacturing and using concrete in construction as well as the challenges in recycling materials from demolished RC buildings. Therefore, steel structures have been more and more popular in green buildings and one after another, countries worldwide are developing steel as the basic construction material. In the past 20 years, steel structures have become the mainstay in green buildings and bridges across the world. The Construction and Planning Agency of Taiwan added a new chapter on green buildings in January, 2005, in the Building Technical Regulations, which cites the building code and requires buildings with more than 11 floors to meet green structure standard to obtain a construction license. The government has introduced clear construction regulations to promote lightweight private buildings and steel structures are one of the structures that can most easily meet the requirements in such regulations. With such a policy, more buildings are using steel structures and reinforced concrete structures, which has promoted the steady development of the steel structure industry.

In addition to private investment, public investment is also a major source of business for the steel structure industry. In light of insufficient investment momentum within the nation, the Executive Yuan announced the "Forward-Looking Infrastructure Plan" in March, 2017, with the goal of building the infrastructure that will serve as the backbone of this nation's development in the next 30 years. The Forward-Looking Infrastructure Plan contains 5 major plans: 1. Build safe and convenient railways; 2. Water environment construction in response to climate change; 3. Green energy that promotes environmental sustainability; 4. Digital construction for a smart homeland and 5. Enhance urban-rural development for regional balance. The plan has a total of NT\$882.5 billion (about US\$29.4 billion). Combined with the NT\$138.5 billion in budget for the years following 2024, the total budget reaches NT\$1.02 trillion (about US\$34 billion) with the entire plan estimated to complete in 2033.
Looking at Taiwan's major infrastructure plan's annual budget, the Executive Yuan introduced the special budget of 4 years/NT\$500 billion for the "Expansion of Investment in Infrastructure Construction" plan in 2008 in response to the global financial crisis, hence there was a significant increase in the infrastructure budget between 2008 and 2011. As that special budget was totally executed in 2012, overall investment dropped once again. In light of the limited effect of the easing monetary policies from countries worldwide on their economic growth since the 2008 financial crisis, countries have turned to expansionary fiscal policy in recent years to boost infrastructure investment and stimulate economic growth. In light of insufficient investment and poor real estate market performance, the Executive Yuan introduced the "Forward-Looking Infrastructure Plan" in 2017.


As shown in the illustration above, the infrastructure budget will once again climb between 2018 and 2021, boosting Taiwan's major infrastructure plan budget (excluding the infrastructure budgets allocated by other units for particular projects) from the average of NT\$202.5 billion between 2012 and 2016 to the average of NT\$293.7 billion between 2018 and 2021, an average of NT\$91.2 billion increase every year, which will greatly benefit Taiwan's economic growth and boost demands for steel.

① General waste ① General waste
In the early days, most of the waste went to landfills. However, disputes and controversies over waste occurred in Taoyuan, Miaoli, Chiayi, Kaohsiung and Pingdong in June, 1997. The waste problem in Chungli could even be traced back to 1981. In 1997, as the disputes over waste became more and more intense, piles of waste filled up the streets in Chungli and the local residents even attempted to recall the mayor. Neighboring towns refused to take in excess waste from Chungli. In fact, many counties and cities faced similar problems at the time – existing landfills were overflowing and no other town was willing to provide land to build new landfills. Even the new landfills already built could not be used until an agreement was reached with the local residents. Each town generated a massive amount of waste every day, yet most towns refused to build landfills locally. Therefore, the Taoyuan County Government opened a bid for incinerators to solve the waste problem. Hsin Yung Enterprise Corporation signed a contract with the Taoyuan County Government in January, 1999. The company obtained the installation permit in April and began construction in August in the same year. The incinerator was completed and began operation in October, 2001 as the first and largest BOO (build-operate-own) incinerator in Taiwan. In the early days, most of the waste went to landfills.

As shown in the table above, Taoyuan City has been generating more general waste year after year as its population increased from 2.01 million in 2011 to nearly 2.25 million in 2019 with business booming. However, Hsin Yung is the only incinerator in the city. As the city is expected to generate more waste in the future and Hsin Yung is nearly running at full capacity, the Taoyuan City Government decided to select suppliers in accordance with the Act for Promotion of Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects to participate in a bioenergy center BOT (build-operate-transfer) project to deal with the waste problem and follow the policies of "circular economy" and "turning biomass waste into resources" to recycle resources. This company collaborated with CTCI Construction to obtain the BOT contract. It is estimated that after the biofuel center is built, Taoyuan will be able to treat its waste independently and effectively solve the waste problem. On top of this, the recycled waste is estimated to generate approximately 200 million kWh (enough for 60,000 households), which will turn Taoyuan City into a green and low-emission city and the first city to introduce the circular economy into its development. Therefore this bioenergy center will be an iconic waste treatment center when it comes to sustainable development and the circular economy.

National Industrial Waste Breakdown
Source: Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan
According to the amount of industrial waste nationwide reported to the Industrial Waste Report and Management System of the EPA, the total amount of industrial waste has been on a rise in recent years. The same goes for hazardous industrial waste. According to Permit Management for Public or Private Waste Clearance and Disposal Organizations, industrial waste organizations can be divided into clearance, disposal and clearance/disposal organizations. A waste clearance organization is one that clears waste under commission for disposal overseas or at disposal sites and plants designated by the said commissioning party. A waste disposal organization is one that disposes of waste under commission. A waste clearance/disposal organization can clear and dispose waste under commission. Clearance organizations have 3 classifications. Grade A organizations can engage in the clearance of both general and hazardous industrial waste. Grade B organizations can only clear general industrial waste. Finally, Grace C organizations can only engage in the clearance of less than 900 metric tons of general industrial waste per month. Disposal organizations have 2 classifications. Grade A organizations can engage in the disposal of both general and hazardous industrial waste while Grade B organizations can only engage in the disposal of general industrial waste.

- (2) Environmental protection industry:
- ① The government has been promoting recycling and implementing the "per-bag-trash-collection-fee" policy for many years and as a result, general waste generation has remained consistent. However, it remains difficult to build new large waste incinerators as they are still considered NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) facilities. Therefore, when an incinerator's capacity is reduced temporarily (due to annual maintenance, natural disasters or national annual thorough-cleaning week), it will rely on assistance from other counties/cities or coordination from the central government.
- ② As the government prohibited combustible waste from going to public landfills starting on January 1, 2007, the combustible waste has been going to incinerators instead. On the other hand, a s the government has improved regulations regarding bulk waste removal (such as landfill restoration) and waste in general and started cracking down on illegal disposal of waste, the demand for waste disposal continues to grow as both the sources of waste and waste clearance organizations are working through proper channels.
4. Product competition
(1) Steel structure industry:
In recent years, infrastructure construction has been restricted and industries have been migrating due to the poor economy both domestically and internationally, and there is oversupply in the steel structure market. As a result, businesses in this industry are competing in a price war and profits suffer. This is why the price of steel is key to whether or not a steel structure business can make a profit. Despite a weak economy and demand, with advantages such as short construction periods, strong seismic capability, and being environmentally friendly, the ratio of steel-structure buildings should increase year after year, especially since the government has been actively promoting green buildings.
Evergreen Steel Corporation, one of the main steel structure companies in Taiwan, is a supplier for construction projects of factories, high-rise buildings, bridges and infrastructure and competes with companies such as China Steel Structure, Chun Yuan Steel, Tung Kang Steel Structure and Century Iron & Steel.

- ① Hsin Yung Enterprise Corporation is a large urban waste incineration plant that was invested, built and operated as a BOO (build-own-operate) project. It was granted the special permission right for 20 years, which expires in October, 2021. The original BOO contract stipulates that prior to the expiration of the contract, either party may request that Hsin Yung continue to operate the plant. As both the population and business continue to grow in Taoyuan City, there will only be more general and industrial waste to be disposed of. Taoyuan City

Government has already expressed its desire for Hsin Yung to continue to operate the plant. Hsin Yung, for the sustainability of its business, has completed the tests required for extended operation, and both parties have begun contract negotiations. Since its operation, Hsin Yung has helped Taoyuan City dispose of more than 6.9 million metric tons of municipal waste and assisted businesses in Taoyuan City to dispose of more than 1.05 million metric tons of industrial waste. The plant's operating capacity remains excellent till this day and Hsin Yung believes that the contract negotiation for extended operation will go smoothly.

-
Advantage and Disadvantage Factors in Fulfilling the Vision and Countermeasures
-
(1) Steel Structure Industry
- ①Advantage Factors
- A. In recent years, the government has been accelerating public infrastructure construction projects to boost the domestic economy with large infrastructure projects such as "Forward-Looking Infrastructure Project" and "Taipei Main Station District Parcel C1/D1 Land Development Project," which will benefit the overall steel structure market to an extent.
- B. Climate change and the global warming caused by the greenhouse effect are becoming a bigger threat to our daily lives. Therefore, energy conservation, carbon emission reduction, and sustainable development have become top priorities. In recent years, the government continues to promote green building policies to boost buildings' energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and reduce environmental impact. By the end of 2020, Taiwan has awarded a total of 9,259 green building labels and green building candidate certificates. Among them, 852 were awarded in 2020, 44 (5.45%) more than 2019.
EGST
- C. The global supply chain was heavily influenced by the US-China trade war, forcing Taiwanese businesses to diversify their manufacturing bases and consider returning to Taiwan as a viable option. To seize this opportunity, the government implemented the "Action Plan for Welcoming Overseas Taiwanese Businesses to Return to Invest in Taiwan" on January 1, 2019. As a result, these Taiwanese businesses have invested a total of approximately NT\$79.25 billion as of December 24, 2020, which has boosted demand for steel structure facilities.
- D. The rebuilding of dangerous and old buildings has benefited from the convenient application process and bulk reward in the regulations. In 2020, a total of 1,646 applications (more than 3 times higher than 2019) were submitted and 1,236 were approved with a total of 86 urban renewal applications approved, making the total approved applications 1,322 during the year. Both rebuilding of dangerous and old buildings and urban renewal can generate new momentum for the overall residential and office building market.
- ② Disadvantage Factors:
- A. Currently, steel structure businesses do not have a classification system similar to construction businesses. Under the restrictions of construction laws, steel structure businesses are not qualified to take on an entire construction project alone and can only be a party in a construction company's contract, which means that the construction company can easily influence the steel structure business' acceptance of payments and profit. Countermeasures:
Enhance business development capability and continue to cultivate construction group clients to build long-term collaborations.
B. Taiwan is facing an aging population and labor shortages and with the construction and steel structure being "3K" (dangerous, hard and dirty) industries, they face even direr labor shortage problems.
Countermeasures:
- a. Public relations work to build up the company's reputation, which can help with recruitment and retaining talent.
- b. Increase employee benefits and improve employee incentives to reduce employee turnover.
- c. Develop professional talent via internal on-the-job training and external
professional training institutions.
- (2) Environmental Protection Business
- ①Advantage factors:
- A. Hsin Yung Enterprise Corporation is a large municipal waste incinerator that was invested, built and operated as a BOO (Build-Operate-Own) project. It has been granted special permission rights for 20 years until October, 2021 without any competition. The original BOO contract stipulates that before the contract expires, either party may request that Hsin Yung should continue to run the incinerator. Hsin Yung is operating the only incinerator that can take in both general and industrial waste in Taoyuan City. As the population and businesses continue to grow year by year in Taoyuan City, the Taoyuan City government already requested that Hsin Yung continue to operate the incinerator.
- B. Environmental protection is a global trend and thanks to the strong promotion by our government and the Taiwanese people becoming more educated, many are also aware of environmental protection. Therefore, the environmental protection industry has built a positive reputation and the industrial waste treatment market will only continue to grow as the government enhances controls on disposal of industrial waste.
- C. Despite the government's heavy promotion of building urban incinerators (which has yielded great results), the current capacity still is insufficient to handle all the waste treatment and still requires private investment and building of incinerators. Meanwhile, the treatment facilities for special waste are even more lacking, which creates more business opportunities for the environmental protection industry.
- ② Disadvantage Factors:
- A. Rising environmental protection awareness and protests against pollution.
Incinerators have been the main method for waste treatment since early on in Taiwan. However, with rising environmental protection awareness, incinerators have become NIMBY (not in my back yard) facilities. On top of this, people have the impression that incinerators are either poorly built or run and therefore, protests by people living around the incinerators are not unheard of.
Countermeasures:

This Company has reinvested in the treatment of general and industrial waste and the treatment facility this company operates always runs and conducts maintenance in accordance with the law to prevent secondary contamination to the environment. On the other hand, this company has maintained open communications with the residents living around the facility and is actively involved in the local affairs. This company also maintains and cleans the roads surrounding the plant and grows plants around them. This company spares no effort in becoming a good neighbor and minimizing local residents' misconceptions towards incinerators to avoid any unnecessary conflicts.
- B. Despite a higher entry barrier in the environmental protection industry with difficult site selection and cumbersome license requirements, newcomers are still entering the waste treatment market, which may directly or indirectly affect supply and demand, which results in price fluctuations. Countermeasures:
- a. Earn clients' trust and encourage them to stay with us for a long time by keeping up the good relationships and interactions with them, actively helping them deal with their problems. On top of this, Super Max Engineering Enterprise Co., Ltd. is licensed to treat up to 376 kinds of hazardous industrial waste and therefore can provide the most comprehensive service to the clients.
- b. Introduction of information management: With information management, information including clearance, incineration, accounting management, material management and analysis of financial statements can be available to decision-makers to help them make prompt and effective decisions.

- Increase in intangible assets: Mainly because Ever Ecove Corp. (our subsidiary) was building the biomass energy center and the cost was recognized as intangible assets –service concession arrangements.
-
- Current liabilities: Mainly due to an increase in short-term loans and issuance of commercial paper for the company's operational needs.
-
- Increase in non-current liabilities: Mainly due to Ever Ecove Corp., our subsidiary, took out more long-term loans to build the biomass energy center.
-
- Increase in other equity interest: Mainly due to the increase in the fair value of the listed/unlisted stocks held by the Company.
-
- Decrease in treasury stock: Mainly due to the sales of treasury stocks.
-
- Increase in non-controlling interest: Mainly due to Ever Ecove Corp., our subsidiary, issued common stocks for cash.

7.4 Impact of Major Capital Expenditure Items in the Most Recent Year to the Financial Status:
The capital in the "Taoyuan Biomass Energy Plant BOT (build-operate-transfer) project" the Group participated in came from equity funds and bank loans. The Group has signed a syndicated loan contract with the group of lending banks (led by Hua Nan Bank). The plant is estimated to complete in January, 2022 and once it begins operation, Taoyuan City will be able to handle its waste disposal by itself. The plant is expected to have the capacity to use thermal treatment on 219,000 metric tons of waste per year, anaerobic digestion on 91,250 metric tons of waste and solidify more than 25,000 cubic meters of waste before sending it to landfill. In addition, the waste will be used to generate renewable energy and the plant is estimated to generate 200 million kWh (sufficient for around 60,000 households), help turning Taoyuan into a green and low emission city and generating steady profit for the Group.
7.5 Investment Policy in the Last Year, Main Causes for Profits or Losses, Improvement Plans and Investment Plans for the Coming Year:
The Group reinvestments in the last year were mainly investments in related enterprises and investments for operational diversification purposes. The 2020 share of profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method is NT\$25.09 million. So far, the Group does not have any investment plan for the coming year.

7.6 Analysis of Risk Management during the Latest Year and up to the Printing Date of this Annual Report
7.6.1 Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures:
The major interest rate risk this Group faces comes from floating rate loans with some of the risk offset by cash and cash equivalents at floating interest rates this Group owns. On the other hand, this Group is in the industry that relies on domestic demand and therefore is more conservative when it comes to the management and hedging of foreign currency funds. Our financial staff stays in close contact with banks and keeps track of the trends of foreign exchange rates to avoid any adverse effect from the changes in foreign exchange rates. In the current economy, the inflation rate in Taiwan is relatively low and therefore the fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and inflation do not have a significant impact on this Group's profit.
7.6.2 Policies, Main Cause of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, Highly-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions:
This Group always focuses on its core business development and is pragmatic in running the business. It also follows a conservative fiscal policy and does not engage in high-risk or highly-leveraged investments. When loaning money to others, making endorsements or trading derivatives, this Group also follows the law as well as its own protocols.
7.6.3 Future Research & Development Projects and Corresponding Budget
The products in our steel structure business are manufactured based on the building structural designs provided by clients (proprietors). Even though this Group does not have a dedicated R&D department, when clients are requesting products with high technological requirement or are innovative, this Company will discuss and conduct research on the manufacturing technologies and overcome any challenges in manufacturing by developing or innovating manufacturing technologies to reduce costs, ensure construction quality and complete the project on schedule. The environmental protection business this Group reinvests in also does not have a dedicated R&D department or staff but still assigns full-time employees to gain new knowledge, visit other companies in the same industry both domestic and abroad for the purpose of learning, and explore ways to update treatment facilities or improve treatment processes to increase performance and maintain a competitive edge.
7.6.4 Effects of and Response to Changes in Policies and Regulations Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales
This Group follows both domestic and international laws in its daily operations and keeps a close eye on policy trends and regulation amendments to be prepared for any changes in the market. As Taiwan and countries worldwide are tightening their environmental regulations and policies, it will only boost demand in the environmental protection industry. This Group also keeps a close eye on the development of technologies and its industry and collects information on such developments and changes, which will serve as reference as the management makes business decisions, adjusts strategies, and formulates countermeasures. As of the date of publication of this annual report in the most recent year, this Group's finance has not suffered any adverse effects resulting from changes in policies and regulations both domestic and abroad.
7.6.5 Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and the Industry Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales:
This Group keeps a close eye on the development of technologies and its industry and collects information on such development and changes, which will serve as reference as the management makes business decisions, adjusts strategies, and formulates countermeasures. In the most recent year, this Group's finance has not suffered any adverse effects resulting from changes in technologies.
7.6.6 The Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Risk Management, and the Company's Response Measures:
Since its inception, the Group has consistently maintained a professional ethical business philosophy, valued its corporate image and emphasized risk control. Currently, there is no significant foreseeable crisis.
7.6.7 Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to, and Response to Merger and Acquisition Plans:
Currently, the Company has no merger and acquisition plan.
7.6.8 Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to, and Response to Factory Expansion Plans:
Ever Ecove Corp. was incorporated in August, 2008. The Company has worked with Taoyuan City Government on the triple-function (anaerobic fermentation, incinerator and bottom ash solidification/landfill plant) biomass energy plant BOT project on a 4.38-hectare lot reserved for environmental protection facilities inside the Taoyuan Science Park. After the plant's completion, Taoyuan City will be able to dispose of its waste independently and solve the city's waste disposal problem. The plant is expected to have the capacity to use thermal treatment on 219,000 metric tons of waste per year, anaerobic digestion on 91,250 metric tons of waste, and solidify more than 25,000 cubic meters of waste before sending it to landfills. In addition, the waste will be used to generate renewable energy and the plant is estimated to generate 200 million kWh (sufficient for around 60,000 households). Once the plant begins operation officially, it is estimated to bring in NT\$200 million in net profit after tax annually, generating profit steadily as this Group's reinvested business. This investment project is estimated to complete payback in 15 years. In addition, as the main equipment in this project was purchased from foreign suppliers, the manufacturing and delivery of this equipment may be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though this means that the plant's completion may be delayed, the project is expected to complete 2 months after the scheduled completion date. Meanwhile, this Company will follow the contract provisions to request an extension in the construction period.
- 7.6.9 Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and Excessive Customer Concentration:
-
- Risks relating to excessive concentration of purchasing sources;
A steel structure business requires materials such as steel plates (strips), beams, welding consumables, shear studs, bolts and paint. This Company purchases steel plates (strips) mainly from China Steel Corp. and Dragon Steel Corp. With these two companies as the main steel plate/strip manufacturers in Taiwan, this Company enjoys a bulk discount from them. The main manufacturers for beams in Taiwan are Tung Ho Steel Enterprise Corp. and Dragon Steel Corp, which have been long-time suppliers for this Company with consistent supplies. This Company has the following countermeasures for risks relating to excessive concentration of purchasing sources:
A. Risk of materials being out of stock:
Countermeasure: Has more than 2 suppliers for the same materials
China Steel Corporation provides quality steel plates with consistent pricing and steady supplies. Therefore, it is on the top of the supplier list when it comes to steel plates. This Company will only seek alternative suppliers if China Steel Corporation does not have enough stock. That is why this Company appears to have excessive concentration of purchasing sources. In addition, when purchasing from China Steel Corporation and Dragon Steel Corporation, this Company also purchases from other distributors and suppliers to decrease such concentration. This Company regularly conducts business with suppliers and therefore when the demand is higher during construction projects, it will be easier for this Company to purchase the materials and more likely to get a discount. This helps reduce purchase costs and ensures the supply of materials.
B. Risk of price monopoly
Countermeasure: Keep track of the steel price fluctuations
This Company has full-time employees dedicated to collecting quotes on steel from companies both domestic and abroad to keep track of the fluctuations in steel prices. This Company can adjust its procurement strategy dynamically and adjust the monthly/quarterly purchase volume to get the best prices from suppliers as early as possible and maximize profit from construction projects.
Based on the above, our countermeasure against excessive concentration of purchasing sources can not only enhance our relationship with suppliers, it can also ensure the supply of materials. This countermeasure also allows this Company to purchase steel at the best price to reduce operating costs and minimize the risk of excessive concentration of purchasing sources.
The environmental protection business mainly engages in the disposal of medical, industrial and municipal waste. It has a steady supply of main raw materials and maintains good working relationships with all suppliers to ensure uninterrupted supply of materials. It also works with other suppliers to an extent to diversify purchasing sources. Overall, the environmental protection business has been working with these suppliers with excellent quality and punctual delivery for years. With multiple suppliers for all raw materials, this business does not have the risk of excessive concentration of purchasing sources for raw materials.
- Risk of excessive customer concentration:
Our steel structure business manufactures products to order. It requires a high amount of capital and longer lead time with revenue being realized over time. Excessive customer concentration is a feature of this business. However, the main clients come and go as construction projects begin and end. For the environmental protection business, in addition to collecting, incinerating and disposing of waste for our clients, the Company has also signed a BOO contract with Taoyuan City Government and power sales agreement with Taipower. With the main customers being government institutions, the BOO contract having protective clause, and power sales conducted in accordance with regulations, this Group does not have the problem of excessive customer concentration.

- 7.6.11 Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to the Changes in Management Rights: None.
- 7.6.12 In regard to litigations or non-litigations, the Company shall disclose major ongoing lawsuits, non-lawsuits or administrative lawsuits caused by the Company's directors, supervisors, general manager, de facto responsible person, shareholders with over 10% shareholding and the subsidiaries that have either reached final verdict or are still pending.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Evergreen Steel Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Evergreen Steel Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and 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, 2020. 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.
The key audit matters identified in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are described as follows:
Project Revenue Recognition
The Group's project revenue mainly comes from providing steel structure engineering contracting business; and during the project contract period, the project revenue is recognized based on the degree of completion. Project revenue recognition from construction depends on the degree of completion of the project which involves subjective judgment which may result in profit or loss or certain risks that are not recognized in the correct period. Therefore, we identified the project revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
The main audit procedures that we performed for testing the project revenue recognition are as follows:
-
- We obtained an understanding of the design and implementation of the Company's project revenue evaluation method and control system by performing control tests.
-
- We selected the samples of the project revenue of the current year that are subjected to detailed tests, which included checking the price of the customer's construction contract for consistency and the adequacy of the completion ratio, and recalculated the degree of completion and verified the correctness of the project revenue.
-
- We performed analytical review of project revenue, and checked for major differences between the progress of the payment and the project contract.
Refer to Note 4 to the financial statements for the accounting policy on the assessment of construction contracts. Refer to Notes 5 and 25 for critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Evergreen Steel Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have 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 and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

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:
-
- 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 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.
-
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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, 2020 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Ching-Fu Chang and Yung-Hsiang Chao.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Evergreen Steel Corporation ("the Company" formerly Evergreen Heavy Industrial Corporation, which was later renamed Evergreen E-Services Corporation and Evergreen Development Corporation) was incorporated in January 1973 as a company limited by shares under the Company Law of the Republic of China. The Company merged with Evergreen Superior Alloys Corporation on August 31, 1990. In 1993, the superior alloys division and related assets were transferred or sold to Gloria Material Technology Corporation (formerly Gloria Heavy Industrial Corporation). The Company merged with Ever Pioneer Steel Corporation on October 31, 1998. In 1998, management discontinued the operations of the container production division. On September 30, 2009, the Company merged with Green Steel Structure Corporation by issuing 4,993 thousand shares to acquire a minority interest holding of 5.72%. In this merger, the Company was the survivor entity.
In January 13 2020, the Company received approval from the Taipei Exchange (TPEx) for a domestic initial public offering and its ordinary shares were listed and traded on the Emerging Stock Board.
The Company repairs containers and manufactures and sells steel structures and related components.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company's functional currency, New Taiwan dollars.

Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.
- Note 2: The amendments to IFRS 9 will be applied prospectively to modifications and exchanges of financial liabilities that occur on or after the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IAS 41 "Agriculture" will be applied prospectively to the fair value measurements on or after the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

- 1) Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current"
The amendments clarify that for a liability to be classified as non-current, the Group shall assess whether it has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If such rights are in existence at the end of the reporting period, the liability is classified as non-current regardless of whether the Group will exercise that right. The amendments also clarify that, if the right to defer settlement is subject to compliance with specified conditions, the Group must comply with those conditions at the end of the reporting period even if the lender does not test compliance until a later date.
The amendments stipulate that, for the purpose of liability classification, the aforementioned settlement refers to a transfer of cash, other economic resources or the Group's own equity instruments to the counterparty that results in the extinguishment of the liability. However, if the terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by a transfer of the Group's own equity instruments, and if such option is recognized separately as equity in accordance with IAS 32 "Financial Instruments: Presentation", the aforementioned terms would not affect the classification of the liability.
2) Amendments to IAS 37 "Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract"
The amendments specify that when assessing whether a contract is onerous, the "cost of fulfilling a contract" includes both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (for example, direct labor and materials) and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (for example, an allocation of depreciation for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).
The Group will recognize the cumulative effect of the initial application of the amendments in the retained earnings at the date of the initial application.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Statement of compliance
The 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 and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
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 an 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 an 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; 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.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
The Group engages in the construction business, which has an operating cycle of over one year, and the normal operating cycle applies when considering the classification of the Group's construction-related assets and liabilities.
d. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the parent company and the entities controlled by the parent company (i.e., its subsidiaries). When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the parent company. 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 parent company 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 parent company.
See Note 11 and Table 7 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including the percentages of ownership and main businesses).

e. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (i.e., 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 on 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 case, 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 not retranslated.
For the purpose of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the parent company and its foreign operations (including subsidiaries and associates that use currencies which are different from the currency of the parent company) 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; and 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 (attributed to the owners of the parent company and non-controlling interests as appropriate).
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e., a disposal of the Company's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving the loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation are reclassified to profit or loss.
In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.
f. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies and inventory in transit. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The 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 the weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
g. Investments in associates and joint ventures
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is not a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method, investments in an associate and joint ventures are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group's share of equity of associates and joint ventures attributable to the Group.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of an associate and a joint venture at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Group's proportionate interest in the associate and joint venture. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. If the Group's ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the associate and joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
The entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is deducted from the investment and the carrying amount is net of impairment loss. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
Profits and loss resulting from the Group's downstream, upstream and sidestream transactions with its associates and joint ventures are recognized in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.
h. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods 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.
i. Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rental and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
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.

For a transfer of classification from property, plant and equipment to investment properties, the deemed cost of an item of property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount at the end of owner-occupation.
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.
- j. Intangible assets
- 1) Intangible assets acquired separately
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 lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
When the Group has a right to charge for the usage of concession infrastructure (as a consideration for providing construction services in a service concession arrangement), it recognizes this as an intangible asset. The intangible asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss.
2) Derecognition of intangible assets
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 property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset and intangible assets, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of such assets 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.
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. Reversals of impairment loss are recognized in profit or loss.
l. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized the Group 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 an acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) 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 FVTPL 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
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
i. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
- i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial 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 trade receivables at amortized cost, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using 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 such 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 such financial assets; and
- ii) Financial asset that is not credit impaired on purchase or origination but has subsequently become credit impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 12 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.
ii. 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 as 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, it will be transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
b) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets and contract assets at amortized cost including trade receivables and contract assets.
The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables and contract assets. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a 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 impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss 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.
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 which 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 the Group 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 the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
The repurchase of the Group'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, issuance or cancellation of the parent company's own equity instruments.
- 3) Financial liabilities
- a) Subsequent measurement
All 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 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.
1) Onerous contracts
Onerous contracts are those in which the Group's unavoidable costs of meeting the contractual obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract. The present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognized and measured as provisions.
2) Warranties
The contractual obligation of the warranty expenditure is expected to occur during the warranty period after the completion of the construction contracts. The Group sets out the provisions according to the warranty expenditure expected to occur during the warranty period. If the preparation is not enough, the current year's expenses shall be included.
3) Soil pollution and reclamation
The recognized of soil pollution and reclamation provisions was based on the maintenance time, area and characteristic of waste incineration plant to fit the best estimate of expenditures required to settle the Group's obligation on the balance sheet date. Provisions were measured at the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
n. Revenue recognition
The Group identifies contracts with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
The time interval of transfer of promised services to the customer and collection within one year will not adjust the transaction price for the part of significant financial restructuring.

1) Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods comes from manufacturing and sale of steel bars. Sales of goods are recognized as revenue when the goods are shipped or delivered to customer because that is the time customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and the price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently.
2) Construction contracts revenue
The Group recognizes revenue over time during the construction process. Because the cost of unit of the installation completion of the construction is directly related to fulfilling performance obligation, the Group uses the cost of unit of installation as the estimated total output incurred. The cost ratio is used to measure the progress of the completion, and after the inspection of the installation of the construction, income and cost are relatively recognized. The Group gradually recognizes contract assets during the construction process and transfers the amount to accounts receivable when issuing invoices. If the payment received for the construction project exceeds the amount, the difference is recognized as contract liability. The project retention fund is withheld by the customer as stated in the contract to ensure that the Group completes all contractual obligations and is recognized as contract assets until the Group satisfies the performance obligations.
3) Energy revenue
The Group signed Commission of Waste Incineration with Taoyuan City Government to deliver general waste from city government and general industrial waste from private enterprise. During operation, the Group will charge waste treatment service fee and recognize revenue from waste treatment. Meanwhile, it will bring out revenue of power generation from Taiwan Power Company.
4) Service concession revenue
The Group signed "Building, Operation and Transfer of Taoyuan City Biomass Energy Center Protocol" with Taoyuan City Government to build and operate infrastructure of biomass energy center. During operation phase, the Group recognizes revenue from waste treatment and power generation when actually providing the services of anaerobic digestion and heat treatment.
- 5) Revenue from the rendering of services
- a) The Group recognized service revenue from waste treatment as the service being provided.
- b) Revenue from the rendering of services comes from providing container repair, renovation and storage services. Such service revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied.
- 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 those stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
p. Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
1) The Group as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
2) The Group as lessee
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
- q. 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 services.
2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which 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 occur. 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 represents the actual deficit 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.
r. Share-based payment arrangements
The fair value at the grant date of the treasury shares transferred to employees is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's best estimates of the number of shares that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options. It is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date if vested immediately. The grant date of treasury shares transferred to employees is the date on which the board of directors approve the transaction.
s. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, 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 to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
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 liabilities are 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 year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
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 Group considers the economic implications of the COVID-19 when making its critical accounting 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.
Construction Contracts
Contract revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of each contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date as the estimated total contract costs. Under the IFRS 15, incentives and penalties are considered as variables and shall be included in the contract revenue only when it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The estimated total output units and contractual items are assessed and determined by management based on the nature of the work, expected sub-contracting charges, construction periods, processes, methods, etc., for each construction contract. Changes in these estimates might affect the calculation of the percentage of completion and related profit and loss from the construction contracts. Refer to Note 25 for related information.

\$ 554,416 (546) |
| \$ 896,594 |
\$ 553,870 |
The average credit period on sales of goods is 0 to 120 days. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers the changes in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date of credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. The allowance for bad debts refers to the past arrears records of the counterparty and the analysis of its current financial status to estimate the amount that cannot be recovered.
The Group applies the simplified approach for the allowance of expected credit loss prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of a lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix approach considering the past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial positions.
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery of the receivable, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation, or when the trade receivables are over 365 days past due, whichever occurs earlier. The Group directly recognizes the impairment loss of related accounts receivable.
The following table details the Group's aging of trade receivables.

22. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a. Defined contribution plans
The Group adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (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.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Group in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government of ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Group contribute amounts equal to 6% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. 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.
The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Group's defined benefit plans were as follows:

An analysis by function of the amounts recognized in profit or loss in respect of the defined benefit plans is as follows:
| For the Year Ended December 31 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| Operating cost Operating expenses |
\$ 3,865 3,650 |
\$ 3,787 4,735 |
|
| \$ 7,515 |
\$ 8,522 |
Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Group 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 shall 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 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| Discount rate(s) | 0.29%-0.5% | 0.625%-0.75% | |
| Expected rate(s) of salary increase | 2%-3% | 2%-2.86% | |
| Turnover rate | 0.1%-7.5% | 0.1%-7.5% |
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 will decrease (increase) as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |
| Discount rate(s) | ||
| 0.25% increase | \$ (9,316) |
\$ (9,997) |
| 0.25% decrease | \$ 9,625 |
\$ 10,336 |
| Expected rate(s) of salary increase | ||
| 0.25% increase | \$ 9,320 |
\$ 10,037 |
| 0.25% decrease | \$ (9,070) |
\$ (9,760) |
The sensitivity analysis previously presented may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that change in assumptions will occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
| December 31 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| Expected contributions to the plan for the next year | \$ 33,441 |
\$ 38,007 |

| Average duration of the defined benefit obligation | 4.5-8.8 years | 4.8-9.3 years |

28. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The earnings and weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings per share are as follows:
Net profit for the year
| For the Year Ended December 31 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company | \$ 1,043,649 |
\$ 947,437 |
Shares
Unit: In Thousand Shares
| For the Year Ended December 31 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the | |||
| computation of basic earnings per share | 394,011 | 388,400 | |
| Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares: | |||
| Compensation of employees | 159 | 202 | |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding in the | |||
| computation of diluted earnings per share | 394,170 | 388,602 |
The Group may settle the compensation paid to employees in cash or shares; therefore, the Group assumes that the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares are included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.
29. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged.
The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (borrowings offset by cash and cash equivalents) and equity attributable to owners of the Group (comprising issued capital, reserves, retained earnings and other equity).
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

- 1) The balances included financial assets at amortized cost, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, trade and other receivables, financial assets at amortized cost and refundable deposits.
- 2) The balances included financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which comprise notes payable and trade payables, other payables, guarantee deposits received, short-term borrowings, short-term bills payable, current portion of long-term borrowings and long-term borrowings.
- d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group's major financial instruments include equity investments, trade receivable, trade payables, borrowings and lease liabilities. 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 Group had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk. The foreign currency fluctuation affects the financial instruments market value due to the Group's policy of hedges in pre-purchase of foreign forward exchanges.
The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the year are set out in Note 34.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to the Currency EUR and Currency JPY.
The following table details the Group's sensitivity to an increase and a decrease in New Taiwan dollars (i.e., the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. A sensitivity rare of 5% is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the year for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. The positive numbers in the following table indicate the amount of increase in net profit before tax when the New Taiwan Dollars depreciates by 5% relative to the relevant currencies; when the New Taiwan Dollars appreciates by 5% relative to the relevant foreign currencies, its impact on the net profit before tax will be The negative number of the same amount.
| EUR Impact | JPY Impact | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| For the Year Ended December 31 |
For the Year Ended | |||||
| December 31 | ||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | 2020 | 2019 | |||
| Profit or loss | \$ 5,363* |
\$ 4,075* |
\$ 2,582* |
\$ 2,670* |
* This was mainly attributable to the exposure on outstanding demand deposits in EUR and JPY in cash flow hedges at the end of the year.
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 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| Fair value interest rate risk | |||
| Financial assets | \$ 904,424 |
\$ 357,080 |
|
| Financial liabilities | 2,789,171 | 599,869 | |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | |||
| Financial assets | 3,242,038 | 2,971,230 | |
| Financial liabilities | 1,693,469 | 352,342 | |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were 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. A 50 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
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, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by \$7,743 thousand and \$13,094 thousand, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the Group's exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank borrowings, time deposits and demand deposits.

c) Other price risk
The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. The Group's equity price risk was mainly concentrated on equity instruments operating in Taiwan industry sector quoted in the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If equity prices had been 15% higher/lower, pre-tax profit for years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by \$1,016,327 thousand and \$857,510 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets as FVTOCI.
The Group's sensitivity to equity prices increased due to the impact of equity price fluctuations.
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. At the end of the reporting period, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk which may cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation and financial guarantees provided by the Group could arise from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.
In order to minimize credit risk, management of the Group is 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 of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, management believes the Group's credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Group's concentration of credit risk of 30% and 34% of total trade receivables as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, was related to the Group's five largest customers. The credit concentration risk of the remaining trade receivables is relatively insignificant.
3) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group's operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.
The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group had available unutilized bank loan facilities set out in (b) below.
a) Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
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 included both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.
To the extent that interest flows are at floating rates, the undiscounted amount was derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the reporting period.

Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Report of Independent Accountants for the Year Ended December 31, 2020
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Evergreen Steel Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Evergreen Steel Corporation (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and 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 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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.
The key audit matters identified in the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are described as follows:
Project Revenue Recognition
The Company's project revenue mainly comes from providing steel structure engineering contracting business; during the project contract period, the project revenue is recognized based on the degree of completion. Project revenue recognition from construction depends on the degree of completion of the project which involves subjective judgment which may result in profit or loss or certain risks that are not recognized in the correct period. Therefore, we identified the project revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

The main audit procedures that we performed for testing the project revenue recognition are as follows:
-
- We obtained an understanding of the design and implementation of the Company's project revenue evaluation method and control system by performing control tests.
-
- We selected samples of the project revenue of the current year that are subject to detailed tests, which included checking the price of the customer's construction contract for consistency and the adequacy of the completion ratio, and recalculated the degree of completion and verified the correctness of the project revenue.
-
- We performed analytical review of project revenue, and checked for major differences between the progress of the payment and the project contract.
Refer to Note 4 to the financial statements for the accounting policy on the assessment of construction contracts. Refer to Notes 5 and 23 for critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty.
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.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' 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 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 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:
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
- 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
- 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.
-
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the 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.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2020 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Ching-Fu Chang and Yung-Hsiang Chao.

- 1) Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current"
The amendments clarify that for a liability to be classified as non-current, the Company shall assess whether it has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If such rights are in existence at the end of the reporting period, the liability is classified as non-current regardless of whether the Company will exercise that right. The amendments also clarify that, if the right to defer settlement is subject to compliance with specified conditions, the Company must comply with those conditions at the end of the reporting period even if the lender does not test compliance until a later date.
The amendments stipulate that, for the purpose of liability classification, the aforementioned settlement refers to a transfer of cash, other economic resources or the Company's own equity instruments to the counterparty that results in the extinguishment of the liability. However, if the terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by a transfer of the Company's own equity instruments, and if such option is recognized separately as equity in accordance with IAS 32 "Financial Instruments: Presentation", the aforementioned terms would not affect the classification of the liability.
2) Amendments to IAS 37 "Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract"
The amendments specify that when assessing whether a contract is onerous, the "cost of fulfilling a contract" includes both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (for example, direct labor and materials) and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (for example, an allocation of depreciation for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).
The Company will recognize the cumulative effect of the initial application of the amendments in the retained earnings at the date of the initial application.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Company's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
b. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

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 an 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 an asset or liability.
When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company used the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries. In order for the amounts of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same as the amounts attributable to the owners of the Company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatments between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for using the equity method, the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, the share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, as appropriate, in the parent company only financial statements.
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; and
- 3) Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
The Company engages in the construction business, which has an operating cycle of over one year, and the normal operating cycle applies when considering the classification of the Company's construction-related assets and liabilities.
d. Foreign currencies
In preparing the Company's financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency (i.e., 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 on 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 case, 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 not retranslated.
For the purpose of presenting the financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations (including subsidiaries, associates and branches in other countries that use currencies which are different from the currency of the Company) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
e. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies and inventory in transit. Inventories 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. The 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 weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
f. Investments in subsidiaries
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries.
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company's share of equity of subsidiaries attributable to the Company.
Changes in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the Company losing control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The Company recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.
The Company assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the investee's financial statements as a whole. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years.
Profit or loss resulting from downstream transactions is eliminated in full only in the parent company only financial statements. Profit and loss resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries is recognized only in the parent company only financial statements and only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.
When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of a subsidiary at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company's proportionate interest in the subsidiary. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. If the Company's ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the subsidiary, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
g. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is recognized 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 effect of any changes in estimate 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 rental and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
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.
For a transfer of classification from investment properties to property, plant and equipment, the deemed cost of an item of property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount at the end of owner-occupation.
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. Intangible assets
- 1) Intangible assets acquired separately
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 estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
2) Derecognition of intangible assets
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.
j. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use and intangible assets, 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 Company 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.
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.
k. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company 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 an acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)) 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 FVTPL 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
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
i. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
- i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial 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 trade receivables at amortized cost, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using 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 such 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 such financial assets; and
- ii) Financial asset that is not credit impaired on purchase or origination but has subsequently become credit impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 12 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.
ii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as 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, it will be transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
b) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets and contract assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables).
The Company always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables and contract assets. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a 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 impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
c) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company 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.
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 which 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 the Company 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 the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
The 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, issuance 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.
l. Provisions
Provisions 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.

1) Onerous contracts
Onerous contracts are those in which the Company's unavoidable costs of meeting the contractual obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract. The present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognized and measured as provisions.
2) Warranties
The contractual obligation of the warranty expenditure is expected to occur during the warranty period after the completion of the construction contracts. The Company sets out the provisions according to the warranty expenditure expected to occur during the warranty period. If the preparation is not enough, the current year's expenses shall be included.
m. Revenue recognition
The Company identifies contracts with the customers, allocates transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.
1) Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods comes from manufacturing and sale of steel bars. Sales of goods are recognized as revenue when the goods are shipped or delivered to customer because that is the time customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and the price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently.
2) Revenue from the rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of services comes from providing container repair, renovation and storage services. Such service revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied.
3) Construction contracts revenue
The Company recognizes revenue over time during the construction process. Because the cost of unit of the installation completion of the construction is directly related to fulfilling performance obligation, the Company uses the cost of unit of installation as the estimated total output incurred. The cost ratio is used to measure the progress of the completion, and after the inspection of the installation of the construction, income and cost are relatively recognized. The Company gradually recognizes contract assets during the construction process and transfers the amount to accounts receivable when issuing invoices. If the payment received for the construction project exceeds the amount, the difference is recognized as contract liability. The project retention fund is withheld by the customer as stated in the contract to ensure that the Company completes all contractual obligations and is recognized as contract assets until the Company satisfies the performance obligations.
n. Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
1) The Company as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
2) The Company as lessee
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term, the Company remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.
- o. 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 services.
2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which 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 occur. 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 represents the actual deficit in the Company'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.
p. Share-based payment arrangements
The fair value at the grant date of the treasury shares transferred to employees is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's best estimates of the number of shares that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options. It is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date if vested immediately. The grant date of treasury shares transferred to employees is the date on which the board of directors approve the transaction.
q. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, 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 to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
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 liabilities are 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 Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
3) Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Company'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 Company considers the economic implications of the COVID-19 when making its critical accounting 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.
Construction Contracts
Contract revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of each contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date as the estimated total contract costs. Under the IFRS 15, incentives and penalties are considered as variables and shall be included in the contract revenue only when it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The estimated total contract costs and contractual items are assessed and determined by management based on the nature of the work, expected sub-contracting charges, construction periods, processes, methods, etc., for each construction contract. Changes in these estimates might affect the calculation of the percentage of completion and related profit and loss from the construction contracts. Refer to Note 23 for related information.

The average credit period on sales of goods is 0 to 120 days. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Company considers the changes in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date of credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. The allowance for bad debts refers to the past arrears records of the counterparty and the analysis of its current financial status to estimate the amount that cannot be recovered.
The Company applies the simplified approach for the allowance of expected credit loss prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of a lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix approach considering the past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial positions.
The Company writes off a trade receivable when there is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery of the receivable, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation, or when the trade receivables are over 365 days past due, whichever occurs earlier. The Company directly recognizes the impairment loss of related accounts receivable.

20. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a. Defined contribution plans
The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (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.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government of ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contribute amounts equal to 6% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee's name. Before the end of each year, the Company 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 Company 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 Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the independent balance sheets in respect of the Company's defined benefit plans were as follows:

An analysis by function of the amounts recognized in profit or loss in respect of the defined benefit plans is as follows:
| For the Year Ended December 31 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| Operating cost Operating expenses |
\$ 2,899 2,758 |
\$ 2,495 3,547 |
|
| \$ 5,657 |
\$ 6,042 |
Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Company 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 shall 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 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| Discount rate(s) | 0.5% | 0.75% | |
| Expected rate(s) of salary increase | 2% | 2% | |
| Turnover rate | 3%-7.5% | 3%-7.5% |
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions occur and all other assumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation decreases (increases) as follows:
| December 31 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| Discount rate(s) | |||
| 0.25% increase | \$ (7,478) |
\$ (7,921) |
|
| 0.25% decrease | \$ 7,730 |
\$ 8,195 |
|
| Expected rate(s) of salary increase | |||
| 0.25% increase | \$ 7,483 |
\$ 7,954 |
|
| 0.25% decrease | \$ (7,278) |
\$ (7,730) |
The sensitivity analysis previously presented may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that change in assumptions will occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The Company may settle the compensation paid to employees in cash or shares; therefore, the Company assumes that the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares are included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

27. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Company's overall strategy remains unchanged.

- d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's major financial instruments include equity investments, trade receivable, trade payables, borrowings and lease liabilities. The Company'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 Company 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 Company'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 Company's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
a) Foreign currency risk
The Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Company to foreign currency risk. The foreign currency fluctuation affects the financial instruments market value due to the Company's policy of hedges in pre-purchase of foreign forward exchanges.

The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the year are set out in Note 32.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company was mainly exposed to the Currency USD and Currency RMB.
The Company analyzes its sensitivity's increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. A sensitivity rate of 5% is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the year for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.
b) Interest rate risk
The Company was exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Company borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates.
The carrying amount of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows.
| December 31 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | ||
| Fair value interest rate risk Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk |
\$ 2,789,171 |
\$ 599,869 |
|
| Financial assets Financial liabilities |
571,875 300,000 |
71,492 150,000 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Company'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. A 50 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by \$1,359 thousand and \$(393) thousand, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the Company's exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank borrowings, time deposits and demand deposits.
c) Other price risk
The Company was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. The Company's equity price risk was mainly concentrated on equity instruments operating in Taiwan industry sector quoted in the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If equity prices had been 15% higher/lower, pre-tax profit for years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by \$949,339 thousand and \$820,098 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets as FVTOCI.
The Company's sensitivity to equity prices increased due to the impact of equity price fluctuations.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. At the end of the reporting period, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk which may cause a financial loss to the Company due to failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation and financial guarantees provided by the Company could arise from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.
In order to minimize credit risk, management of the Company is 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 Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, management believes the Company's credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Company's concentration of credit risk of 45% and 42% of total trade receivables as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, was related to the Company's five largest customers. The credit concentration risk of the remaining trade receivables is relatively insignificant.
3) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Company's operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.
The Company relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had available unutilized bank loan facilities set out in (b) below.
a) Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following table details the Company'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 Company can be required to pay. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

To the extent that interest flows are at floating rates, the undiscounted amount was derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the reporting period.

Since January 2020, due to the spread of COVID-19, governments of countries have successively implemented various epidemic prevention plans. However, the domestic epidemic has slowed down and government policies have been loosened. Therefore, the Group's assessment has little impact on the overall operations, but the international epidemic is still uncertain. The Group will continue to pay attention to the development of the epidemic and take relevant countermeasures to alleviate the impact on the Group's operations.
