Evergreen Steel Corporation and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and Independent Auditors’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Evergreen Steel Corporation

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evergreen Steel Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as 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 International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As stated in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$136,548 thousand and NT$138,545 thousand as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The equities in profit and loss of the associates were NT$5,151 thousand and NT$5,334 thousand of the consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The equities in profit and loss of the associates were NT$10,749 thousand and NT$13,118 thousand of the consolidated net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. These investment amounts and related disclosures are based on the investees’ unreviewed financial statements for the same reporting periods as those of the Group.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our reviews, except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of investees that are accounted for using equity method as described in the preceding paragraph been reviewed, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Ching-Hsia Chang and Yung-Hsiang Chao.

  • Note 1: 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.

  • Note 4: The amendments are applicable to contracts for which the entity has not yet fulfilled all its obligations on January 1, 2022.

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.

  • Note 3: The amendments are applicable to changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies that occur on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

  • Note 4: Except that deferred taxes will be recognized on January 1, 2022 for temporary differences associated with leases and decommissioning obligations, the amendments will be applied prospectively to transactions that occur 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 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

The amendments specify that the Group should refer to the definition of material to determine its material accounting policy information to be disclosed. Accounting policy information is material if it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments also clarify that:

  • Accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed;

  • The group may consider the accounting policy information as material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial; and

  • Not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.

The amendments also illustrate that accounting policy information is likely to be considered as material to the financial statements if that information relates to material transactions, other events or conditions and:

  • a) The Group changed its accounting policy during the reporting period and this change resulted in a material change to the information in the financial statements;

  • b) The Group chose the accounting policy from options permitted by the standards;

  • c) The accounting policy was developed in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” in the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies;

  • 11 -

  • d) The accounting policy relates to an area for which the Group is required to make significant judgements or assumptions in applying an accounting policy, and the Group discloses those judgements or assumptions; or

  • e) The accounting is complex and users of the financial statements would otherwise not understand those material transactions, other events or conditions.

  • 3) Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

The amendments define that accounting estimates are monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. In applying accounting policies, the Group may be required to measure items at monetary amounts that cannot be observed directly and must instead be estimated. In such a case, the Group uses measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates to achieve the objective. The effects on an accounting estimate of a change in a measurement technique or a change in an input are changes in accounting estimates unless they result from the correction of prior period errors.

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

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements.

  • 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.

  • 12 -

c. 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). Income and expenses of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the 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 6 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including the percentages of ownership and main businesses).

d. Other significant accounting policies

Except for the following, refer to significant accounting policies to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020.

  • 1) Retirement benefits

Pension costs for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

  • 2) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period’s pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Trade receivable

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.

For the policies on distribution of compensation of employees and remuneration of directors and supervisors before and after amendment, refer to f. employee benefits expense in Note 26.

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.

  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include equity investments, trade receivables, 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 has been no changes 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 USD, 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.

  • This was mainly attributable to the exposure on outstanding demand deposits in USD, EUR and JPY in cash flow hedges at the end of the period.

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.

  • 36 -

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, December 31,
June 30, 2021 2020 June 30, 2020
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets $ 833,478 $ 904,424 $ 301,035
Financial liabilities 1,272,031 2,807,665 1,368,731
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets 3,228,239 3,242,038 3,382,142
Financial liabilities 2,554,108 1,693,469 1,279,761

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 six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by $1,685 thousand and $5,256 thousand, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank borrowings, 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 3% higher/lower, pre-tax profit for six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by $447,715 thousand and $145,926 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.

  • 37 -

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 37% and 31% of total trade receivables as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 upon repayment periods. The tables has 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.
