| certain exceptions, pay such additional amounts on the Bonds as | |||
| will result in the receipt by the Bondholders of the amounts which | |||

Recent Developments
Effects of COVID-19
In December 2019, a new coronavirus disease, commonly known as “COVID-19,” was first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The outbreak was initially concentrated in China and caused significant disruptions to its economy. In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the governments of many countries have taken and are continuing to take preventative or reactive actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes.
In Taiwan, in a move to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, Taiwan Centers for Disease Control classified COVID-19 as a Category 5 communicable disease on January 15, 2020, to strengthen surveillance and containment of COVID-19. On February 25, 2020, a Special Act for Prevention, Relief and Revitalization Measures for Severe Pneumonia with Novel Pathogens was adopted to respond to the COVID-19. On February 27, 2020, Taiwan raised the Central Epidemic Command Center, or the CECC, to Level 1 due to the global epidemic situation. On March 22, 2020, the CECC announced that the transit of airline passengers through Taiwan would be suspended to reduce the risk of disease transmission. On April 10, 2020, crowd control measures had been imposed at public places where large crowds can gather. On May 2, 2020, the CECC announced that inbound travelers returning from overseas should complete the COVID-19 Health Declaration and Home Quarantine Notice and confirm if their residence satisfies the home quarantine requirements. On June 17, 2020, the CECC announced the conditions under which short-term business travelers can apply for a reduced amount of time of home quarantine. In terms of international collaboration, Taiwan has also shared information on the epidemic situation with other countries through the IHR mechanism.
Government authorities in other countries where we operate, such as the U.S., China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Panama, the United Kingdom, South Korea, have adopted more stringent measures, including lockdowns and closure of non-essential businesses, in an attempt to control the spread of the virus and mitigate the impact of the outbreak.
We are focused on the COVID-19 situation, and have taken steps to implement various stringent measures to mitigate the risks of COVID-19, such as:
-
developing a COVID-19 policy and recovery plans and constantly holding global meetings to monitor unforeseen circumstances or reduced services;
-
• enhancing our epidemic prevention and containment capabilities and educating employees on precautionary measures;
-
publishing marine circular on March 20, 2020 on “Company’s Emergency Instruction on COVID-19” regulating preventative measures on board; and
-
setting up COVID-19 contingency plans for vessels underway.
We are also communicating constantly with all relevant government agencies.
The immediate risks of COVID-19 to our business is expected to come in the form of a suspected virus spread within our facilities. If such an event occurs, there would be temporary isolation of certain pieces of equipment and employees, a shut-down of the billing areas or other commercial areas, and temporary stoppages of operations to isolate facilities and employees and ensure a safe environment for employees and the continued flow of goods. Macro risks include a reduction in volume at certain facilities due to a general slowdown in trade. See “Risk factors – Risks relating to our business – The outbreaks of COVID-19 and the governmental responses thereto may adversely affect our business.”
The impact of COVID-19 on our business operations is related to these potential interruptions or disruptions. The impact of volume slowdowns will be regional in nature and will depend on how global supply chains continue to be affected by COVID-19. Our operations in Taiwan and other terminals around the world remain fully operational with no operational disruptions recorded to date.
10
Liquidity
Managing our balance sheet prudently and maintaining appropriate liquidity are high priorities during this disruption. To strengthen our liquidity position, we availed of an aggregate of US$4,107 million of loans from our working capital facilities with various banks at the prevailing market rate in June 2020. In July 2020, to cope with the uncertainty brought by COVID-19 pandemic, we availed of a 24-month loan from Mega International Commercial Bank of NT$8,000 million (US$272 million) with interest based on the prevailing market rate. We may enter into additional credit facilities to bolster liquidity and provide additional financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global economy resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Estimates of Preliminary Unaudited Consolidated Operating Revenue
As announced on the Market Observation Post System, for July and August 2020, our preliminary unaudited consolidated operating revenue were NT$17.1 billion (US$580.4 million) and NT$18.9 billion (US$641.7 million), compared with NT$16.8 billion and NT$16.2 billion for the same periods in 2019, respectively.
Our preliminary unaudited consolidated operating revenue for July and August 2020 are subject to adjustment, based on, among other things, our normal closing procedures. Actual figures could differ materially from the financial data provided above.

Summary Financial and Other Data
The following tables present our summary financial information. The summary financial information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019 set forth below are qualified by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Offering Memorandum. The summary financial information as of and for each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020 set forth below has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference into this Offering Memorandum. Our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods. Our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019 have been prepared and presented in accordance with the T-IFRSs. Our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements as of and for six-month ended June 30, 2019 and 2020 are presented in conformity with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed by the FSC.
The Group adopted IFRS 16 – Leases on January 1, 2019. For the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the Group, please refer to Note 3(1) of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 included in this Offering Memorandum. In adopting the IFRS 16 effective on January 1, 2019, the Group had elected to apply the modified retrospective approach whereby the cumulative impact of the adoption was recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019, and the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 were not restated. As a result, the consolidated financial information of the Group prior to January 1, 2019, extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 may not be directly comparable with the audited consolidated financial information of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019.

Risk Factors
An investment in the Bonds involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this Offering Memorandum, including our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, before you decide to buy the Bonds. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed, the trading price of the Bonds could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. In particular, any potential investor in, or purchaser of, Bonds should pay particular attention to the fact that we are governed by the legal and regulatory environment in the Republic of Panama and the ROC, which in some respects, may differ from that which prevails in other countries.
Risks Relating to Our Business
The outbreaks of COVID-19 and the governmental responses thereto may adversely affect our business.
The recent outbreak of COVID-19, a disease causing potentially deadly respiratory tract infections, has already caused severe global disruptions and may negatively affect economic conditions regionally as well as globally and otherwise impact our operations and the operations of our customers and suppliers. Governments in affected countries are imposing travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures. Those measures, though temporary in nature, may continue and increase depending on developments in the virus’ outbreak. In response to the outbreak, many countries have implemented lockdown measures, and other countries and local governments may enact similar policies. Companies are also taking precautions, such as requiring employees to work remotely, imposing travel restrictions and temporarily closing businesses. These restrictions, and future prevention and mitigation measures, are likely to have an adverse impact on global economic conditions, which could materially and adversely affect our future operations.
Uncertainties regarding the economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak are likely to result in sustained market turmoil, which could also negatively impact our business, financial condition and cash flows. For example, although freight rate improved during the second quarter of 2020, a decrease in the freight volume affected our profit, and we recorded losses due to the decrease in demand as many countries locked down their businesses during the first quarter of 2020. As a result of these measures, our vessels may not be able to call on ports, or may be restricted from disembarking from ports, located in regions affected by the outbreak. In addition, we may experience severe operational disruptions and delays, unavailability of normal port infrastructure and services including limited access to equipment, critical goods and personnel, disruptions to crew change, quarantine of ships and/or crew, counterparty solidity, closure of ports and custom offices, as well as disruptions in the supply chain and industrial production, which may lead to reduced cargo demand, amongst other potential consequences attendant to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The extent of the COVID-19 outbreak’s effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape. As a result, although to our knowledge our operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate severity of the COVID-19 outbreak is uncertain at this time and therefore we cannot predict the impact it may have on our future operations. The impact could be material and adverse, particularly if the pandemic continues to further evolve and recirculate.
An increase in trade protectionism and the unraveling of multilateral trade agreements, combined with a decrease in the level of export of goods from emerging markets, could have a material adverse impact on our container shipping business and, in turn, could cause a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our operations expose us to the risk that increased trade protectionism will adversely affect our business. There is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other exporting countries, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China since 2018 have resulted in both governments imposing tariffs. Moreover, the current economic slowdown in the economies of the U.S., the
14
European Union and other Asian countries may further adversely affect economic growth in China and elsewhere. Although the U.S. and China have successfully reached an interim trade deal in January 2020 that has de-escalated such trade tensions with both sides rolling back tariffs, the extent to which they will implement the deal is unpredictable, not to mention that either country may freely terminate the deal with advanced written notice according to the underlying trade agreement.
Our vessels may be deployed on routes involving trade in and out of emerging markets, and our customers’ shipping and business revenue may be derived from the shipment of goods from the Asia Pacific region to various overseas export markets, including the U.S. and Europe. Any reduction in or hindrance to the output of emerging market-based exporters could have a material adverse effect on the growth rate of these emerging markets and on our customers’ business, which in turn would adversely affect our result of operations.
Our business is highly dependent on regional and global economic trends.
The volume of containers we transport and the usage of other related services are influenced by the performance and growth of regional and international trading economies. Our core business is international container shipping, which is utilized by our customers to transport containerized goods by sea within the global and regional marketplace. As a result, there is a correlation between the condition of global and regional economies and the volume of containers we transport.
Our business is also influenced by other factors that impact regional and international trading economies, including economic and political conditions, trade restrictions, sanctions, embargoes, boycotts and other trade measures, exchange controls, currency fluctuations, unexpected changes in laws relating to tariffs or taxation policies, trade disputes, labor strikes and other work stoppages, acts of war, hostilities, epidemics, terrorism, changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns, weather patterns and crop yields, and the occurrence of natural disasters. Interruptions of the continuity of operations, decreases in imports and exports or reduced trading patterns caused by these or other causes may reduce the frequency of vessels calling at the ports at which we operate and may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Continued economic slowdown in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in China, may exacerbate the effect on us, as we anticipate a significant number of the port calls made by our vessels will continue to involve ports in the Asia Pacific region. Our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as our future prospects, will likely be materially and adversely affected by a further economic downturn in any of these countries.
We have little or no control over any of these risks and we may be unable to anticipate changes in economic and political conditions or anticipate extended disruptions of transport activity due to other factors. As a result, we may be unable to alter our business practice in time to avoid the adverse effects of any of these changes. Any further downturn in regional and international trading economies could impact the volume of containerized cargo trade due to these or any other extraneous factors and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our international activities increase the compliance risks associated with economic and trade sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union and other jurisdictions.
Our international operations could expose us to export controls, trade embargoes, economic sanctions and other trade restrictions imposed by the United States or other governments or organizations, including the United Nations, the European Union and their member states. For example, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or “OFAC,” administers and enforces sanctions and trade embargoes that generally prohibit U.S. persons and certain other persons exposed to U.S. jurisdiction from engaging in any unlicensed dealings in, with, or relating to the certain sanctioned countries and territories, or with or relating to certain specified persons on lists maintained by OFAC, including but not limited to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (“SDN”) List. While we are not a “U.S. person” subject directly to U.S. sanctions, non-U.S. persons may also in certain instances be subject to liability for the violation of U.S. sanctions. The implementation, interpretation and impact of any export controls, trade embargoes, economic sanctions and other trade restrictions on our business and industry is uncertain and evolving, and
15
these regulations, or other regulatory changes now or in the future, as well as any inadvertent breach of applicable regulations or restrictions by us, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, reputation, and results of operations. Furthermore, relevant sanctions authorities could seek to expand applicable regulations or impose modifications to our business practices and/or modifications to our compliance programs, which could increase compliance costs and subject us to fines, penalties and other sanctions if we do not effectively prevent future violations.
We actively monitor developments in the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and other jurisdictions that maintain sanctions programs, including developments in the implementation and enforcement of such sanctions programs. Expansion of sanctions programs, embargoes and other restrictions in the future (including, for example, the additional designation of countries or persons subject to sanctions), or modifications in how existing sanctions are interpreted or enforced, could increase our compliance costs, impact our business (such as preventing our vessels from calling on ports in sanctioned countries or limiting their cargoes), or subject us to sanctions liability if we do not effectively prevent future violations.
We maintain policies and procedures designed to comply with applicable export controls, trade embargoes, economic sanctions, trade restrictions and other similar laws and regulations imposed by the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and other jurisdictions. The preparation, implementation, updating, and oversight of such policies and procedures may be time consuming and expensive, and could result in the discovery of issues or violations with respect to the foregoing by us or our employees, independent contractors, subcontractors, or agents of which we were previously unaware. If we violate any of these regulations, significant administrative, civil, and criminal penalties could be assessed on us, and our growth and profitability could be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Supply and demand imbalances in the container shipping industry have depressed and may continue to cause fluctuation in freight rates and led to a prolonged period of challenging market conditions for global shipping carriers.
The container shipping industry has historically exhibited highly cyclical economic conditions, with high volatility in freight rates, primarily due to fluctuations in both the demand for container shipping services and the global supply of container shipping capacity. This can lead to periods of intense competition among carriers and depressed freight rates. Our profitability is strongly impacted by changes in freight rates, and such changes in freight rates can have a material effect on our financial performance.
Changes in the demand for container shipping are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control, but are influenced by, among other factors, global and regional economic growth, inventory levels, exchange rates, the shift in manufacturing away from centers of consumption, the demand for consumer goods in North America, Europe and Asia and changes in the regulatory regimes affecting shipping, including tariff regimes and trade disputes. Freight rates can vary from service to service, and profitability of our business is affected by changes in the geographic mix of the services from which we generate revenue. Consequently, regional changes in demand can have a disproportionate impact on our results of operations in a given period, such as the change in our Far East to South American trade lane. Freight rates may decline in the future due to global trade deceleration and a resulting structural decline in demand for containerized transportation. We are and will remain highly exposed to changes in freight rates until we have established a more diversified business through the expansion of our non-ocean activities.
Demand for container shipping services is also impacted by global economic and geopolitical trends. The moderation in container demand growth in 2019 globally mirrors a global slowdown in macroeconomic growth and export orders, and the main risk to global container demand relates to a further cyclical slowing of the global economy. Emerging markets are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar and to economic developments in the U.S. as a result of their financial leverage. Moreover, a further escalation of international trade tensions carries a significant risk to global trade. For example, the United States government has initiated, and is considering initiating further tariffs on certain imports and/or trade counterparties, including China and Europe, and certain
16
foreign governments, including China, have initiated, or are considering imposing, retaliatory tariffs on certain United States goods. As a result of the above, the outlook for international trade and the global economy, and thereby the relative demand for container shipping services, remains uncertain. Subdued regional and global demand in recent periods, due to these and other factors, have led to significant downward pressure on freight rates and industry revenues in recent years, and there can be no guarantee that freight rates will not decline further in the future.
Supply imbalances in the container shipping industry are also contributing to the challenging market for global carriers. The global supply of capacity is determined, among other factors, by the number and size of container vessels in the world (including the charter market), their deployment into trades, the delivery of new vessels, lay-ups at any given time, and the scrapping of older vessels, as well as by the availability of containers. Since the financial crisis, freight rates have decreased at fixed bunker prices. Carriers throughout the container shipping industry responded by investing in newer, bigger and more cost-efficient vessels to reduce costs per container shipped. However, vessels generally have an economic life of at least 20 years, must be ordered two to three years in advance and face a lengthy ordering and construction process.
The current imbalances in the container shipping industry also make it difficult for us to accurately project supply and demand for shipping services over the long term and align our newbuild programs accordingly. Because part of the orders of newbuilds are based on our current expectations of future demand, there is an inherent risk that we will order either too much or too little vessel capacity, and misallocate our capital expenditure. If we do not invest sufficiently in additional shipping capacities, we may be faced with the choice of either not being able to satisfy our customers’ demand for our services (leading to lost revenues and market share and, potentially, strained customer relations or even a loss of customers) or charter in additional vessels via the charter market at potentially higher charter rates during phases of strong demand. If, on the other hand, we overinvest in additional container shipping capacity that we are not able to fully utilize during weaker market conditions, this would increase our costs relative to the development of our revenues. Any of these scenarios could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In the highly competitive international shipping industry, we may not be able to compete with established companies with greater resources or new entrants, and as a result, we may be unable to employ our vessels profitably.
We operate in a highly competitive market that is capital intensive and highly regulated. Competition arises primarily from other existing vessel owners, some of whom have substantially greater resources than we do or may be better positioned to adapt to changes in market or economic conditions, or new entrants. In addition, the worldwide shipping industry has been subject to high volatility and the unbalanced demand-and-supply for shipping services has been increasingly significant in the past several years due to various reasons, such as the overall global economic downturn and slowing global trade. There can be no assurance that the shipping market will be able to recover in the foreseeable future and shipping companies, including us, may be under continuing great pressure of reduced shipping rates, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Competition for the transportation of container cargo by sea is intense and depends on price, location, size, age, condition and the acceptability of the vessel and its operators to the charterers. Products in the container shipping market are almost homogeneous because there is very little differentiation between shipping companies based on the capacity to carry seaborne cargoes. As the ships can easily be moved to any areas of the world, shipping companies may not be limited geographically and are thus competing for business on a worldwide scale. Due to this market structure, most of the shipping companies, including us, lack pricing power and accept the market price, which is influenced by economic and political events that are largely outside the control of shipping companies. When the market price is low, such lack of pricing power could lead to a decrease in our profitability and have a negative adverse impact on our results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to deploy our vessels on economically attractive terms, maintain attractive freight rates, pass cost increases through to our customers or otherwise successfully compete against our competitors. Competitors with greater resources could enter the container shipping industry and operate larger
17
fleets through consolidations or acquisitions and may be able to offer lower freight rates than we are able to offer. If we are unable to successfully compete with other container shipping companies, our results of operations would be adversely affected.
There has been substantial consolidation in the international shipping industry over the last few years, which has led to stronger competitors and more intense competition. In particular, and reflecting the current prolonged period of challenging market conditions in the container shipping industry, recent years have seen substantial consolidation among carriers, with an increasingly small group of companies competing intensely to provide shipping services. In August 2016, Hanjin Shipping, a major carrier, filed for bankruptcy, the first such occurrence in the container shipping industry in nearly 30 years. In response to such developments, carriers are increasingly seeking out opportunities to combine or cooperate. A number of mergers and acquisitions between carriers has occurred over the last couple of years. CMA CGM completed its acquisition of Neptune Orient Lines and the two Chinese carriers COSCO and CSCL completed their merger in 2016. In 2017, Hapag-Lloyd and UASC completed their merger, along with Maersk’s acquisition of Hamburg Süd. COSCO acquired OOCL in 2018. The three Japanese carriers NYK, MOL and K Line have also entered into a joint venture, Ocean Network Express, which commenced trading in April 2018.
In addition, there has also been increasing cooperation among carriers. For example, in July 2014, Maersk entered into a 10-year Vessel Sharing Agreement (VSA) with Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and started the “2M Alliance.” In April 2017, Evergreen Line, COSCO, CMA CGM and OOCL established the OCEAN Alliance. THE Alliance was also launched in 2017 by Hapag-Lloyd, ONE and Yang Ming.
Such consolidations and cooperation and the increasingly competitive environment could threaten revenues, increase the relative size, bargaining power and market share of our competitors, could result in groups of our competitors cooperating in concert, and may prevent us from charging freight rates that are necessary for us to return our cost of capital. Any of these developments could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Container ship capacities have increased in recent years, leading to overload and/or overcapacity and congestion in certain ports and access to ports could be limited or unavailable for other reasons.
In recent years, container ship capacities have increased globally at a faster rate than the rate at which some container ports have increased their capacities. These factors have led to considerable delays in the processing of container shipments in affected ports, many of which (such as in the United States) cannot accommodate larger ships. As a result of longer load and unload times, increases in container ship capacities could lead to further port congestion, which could have a material adverse effect on container shipping traffic on affected services. Decisions on port expansions or port access (such as dredging for ultra-large vessels) are made by national or local governments and are outside of our control, determination or influence. Such decisions are made on the basis of local policies and concerns and the interests of the container shipping industry may not be taken into account. For example, on February 9, 2017, the German Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig ruled that plans to dredge the river Elbe in Hamburg must be improved before a stop order on the work can be lifted. The dredging would allow vessels with drafts of up to 14.5 meters to reach the Port of Hamburg (currently, the maximum is 13.5 meters) and alleviate congestion during low tide. The prolonged period of subdued demand and overcapacity in the container shipping industry has been a significant challenge for us and our competitors. We may experience substantial difficulties in operating our vessels at full capacity and maintaining the freight rates required for profitable margins. For the reasons discussed above, we may also encounter difficulties in accurately planning our longterm capital expenditures and gauging future levels of supply and demand in the container shipping industry, which are crucial to success and maintaining market share. Accordingly, any continuation or worsening of the current imbalances and challenging market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, as industry capacity and demand for container shipping continue to grow, we could encounter difficulties in securing sufficient terminal slots to expand our operations according to our growth strategy, due to the limited availability of port facilities. While we seek to continue to secure
18
port access by directly investing in port terminals where we have significant operations, we may face political and administrative challenges in doing so, as ports are generally considered strategic assets. Furthermore, major ports could close for a shorter or longer period of time due to maintenance works, natural disasters or other reasons beyond our control. We cannot ensure that our efforts to secure port access will be successful. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our container shipping business is subject to seasonal fluctuations.
Our operating and financial performance is subject to seasonal fluctuations and relies to a large extent on the transported volume and freight rates. These fluctuations are largely due to the increased demand for container shipping services in the second and, in particular, third quarters of the year (socalled “peak season”) in advance of the festive season in Western countries. The first and fourth quarters generally show lower transport volumes due to a decrease in consumer spending in Western countries after the holidays and reduced manufacturing activities in China and Southeast Asia due to the Chinese New Year celebrations. Due to the seasonal effect, revenue and income, as well as cash flows in the individual quarters are not directly comparable. These figures therefore provide no reliable basis for projections regarding future results, and they cannot be cumulated to project the results for the entire financial year. In turn, because of the seasonal influences, the revenue and earnings of individual quarters can fluctuate significantly, which in turn may cause volatility in the market price of our shares.
In addition, the demand for our container shipping services is also driven by changes in demand for the goods transported by our fleet. Future seasonality in our turnover, operating income and working capital requirements may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Fluctuations in fuel prices and costs, if not adequately anticipated and accounted for in our freight services, could adversely affect our profitability.
We experience fluctuations in our costs resulting from changes in the cost of fuel oil. Fuel prices are subject to fluctuation as a result of domestic and international events, including geopolitical developments, supply and demand for oil and gas, actions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, and other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil-producing countries and regions, regional production patterns and environmental concerns. For example, towards the end of the first quarter of 2020, travel restrictions and other preventive measures to control the spread of COVID-19 resulted in a precipitous decline in oil demand. Lack of corresponding production and refinery cuts resulted in a supply glut of oil and refined petroleum products, which was exacerbated by extreme oil price volatility from the Russia-Saudi Arabia oil price war. The oversupply of petroleum products and contango in oil prices has led to record floating storage and arbitrage opportunities of both crude and refined petroleum products. These market conditions, which began in March 2020, have had a disruptive impact on the supply and demand balance of product tankers, resulting in significant and prolonged spikes in spot time charter equivalent (TCE) rates, defined as net profit or loss of operating a vessel per day, as vessel availability tightened. As of the date of this Offering Memorandum, oil price volatility has shown incipient signs of normalizing and spot TCE rates have abated to a certain degree, albeit still at robust levels.
We also experience fluctuations in our costs relating to crew expenses, port charges and currency exchange rates. For example, changes in marine regulatory regimes in the ports at which our vessels call also may increase our costs. When our costs incurred increased more significantly than our revenue, such fluctuations may adversely affect our profitability. As a result, we are exposed to high volatility in revenues. We cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately account for fuel validity and other costs in our freight services, which could lead to miscalculations in our pricing and would adversely affect our profitability.
19
Increases in bunker fuel prices, including as a result of the impact of IMO 2020, may significantly increase our costs of operations.
We are required to use higher quality bunker fuels on an increasing number of our services due to changing environmental requirements, which also increases our fuel costs. Furthermore, under the regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships (Annex VI) promulgated by the International Maritime Organization, a global sulfur emission cap of 0.5% (from the current cap of 3.5%) became effective since January 1, 2020 (IMO 2020). We are in compliance with the new regulation through the use of compliant fuel for the majority of our fleet, but will also invest in exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers). It is expected that compliant fuel will cost substantially more than current high sulfur fuel oil bunkers, which will lead to increased fuel costs. We may not be successful in passing on all, or any, future fuel price increases to customers in a timely manner. Installing scrubbers on vessels would enable today’s lower-cost fuels to be used but would also require substantial capital expenditure. As a result, a prolonged increase in crude oil and bunker fuel prices could lead to significant increases in operating costs and adversely affect our results of operations, especially if we are unable to raise rates or impose surcharges to recover these cost increases from customers. Conversely, decreasing bunker fuel prices have led to downward pressure on freight rates and erode our ability to compete on bunker efficiency, as our ability to efficiently use bunker fuels as compared with our competitors is less significant when bunker fuel prices are low.
The container logistics industry is becoming digitalized and our future results may suffer if we do not keep pace with or exceed the digital offerings of competitors.
Technological advancements and innovations in the container logistics industry have required us to make substantial investments in digitalization and automation, as customers seek new and more efficient ways to interact with their shipping and logistics providers. We may not be successful in the introduction or marketing of new digital services or product innovations, or be able to develop and introduce, in a timely manner, innovations to our existing products that satisfy our customers’ needs or achieve market acceptance. Growing our business in historically non-core channels, including in digital commerce, will place increased demands on our operational, managerial, administrative and other resources, which may be inadequate to support our expansion. Our future success will be determined, in part, on our ability to identify and capitalize on customer needs and competitive trends in digitalization. If we do not secure a digital competitive advantage through the development of a customer-centric, end-to-end digital offering, we may be unable to maintain or expand our customer base. We may also experience difficulty in establishing new digital products, receive more complaints from customers about them and face costly claims as a result of human or technical error, which would harm our brand and reputation as well as our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Security breaches or computer virus attacks could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects and operating results.
Any significant breach of security of our IT systems and digital platforms could significantly harm our business, reputation and operating results. As of the date of this Offering Memorandum, we have not experienced any significant breach of security of our IT systems and digital platforms. However, we cannot assure you that our IT systems and digital platforms will be completely secure from future security breaches or computer virus attacks. Anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information, including the personal information of our customers. To cope with these circumventions, we have (i) established an “Information Security Management Committee” to set up information security policies, plans, measures, technical specifications, audits and coordination, to ensure data integrity and confidentiality, (ii) trained and educated all of our employees during our internal training at least once a year to improving their security awareness, (iii) performed daily information security monitoring, (iv) scanned and evaluated the systems for vulnerabilities and remedy the vulnerabilities discovered, (v) communicated closely with several external security organizations to acquire zero-day vulnerability information, (vi) purchased third-party security services, including vulnerability scanning services, and penetration and vulnerability testing every year and (vii) implemented proper backup plans and conduct recovery drill tests. Although we
20
have already taken such measures, any circumvention of these security measures may still cause interruptions in our operations or damage our brand image and reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects and operating results.
The market values of our vessels may fluctuate significantly and we may incur losses when we sell vessels and may not comply with certain financial covenants, which may adversely affect our earnings.
The fair market values of our vessels may fluctuate significantly. If we sell vessels at a time when vessel prices have fallen and before we have recorded an impairment adjustment to our financial statements, the sale may be at less than the vessel’s carrying amount on our financial statements, resulting in a loss and a reduction in earnings.
The fair market value of our vessels may continue to fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the types, sizes and ages of vessels, prevailing level of charter rates, the general economic and market conditions affecting the shipping industry, shipyards, cost of newbuildings, the need to upgrade vessels as a result of charterer requirements and technological advances in vessel design or equipment.
Conversely, if vessel values are elevated at a time when we wish to acquire additional vessels, the cost of acquisition may increase and this could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
If the fair market value of our vessels declines, we may not be in compliance with certain provisions of our credit facility and we may not be able to refinance our debt or obtain additional financing. If we are not able to comply with the covenants in our credit facility, and are unable to remedy the relevant breach, our lenders could accelerate our debt and foreclose on our fleet. Furthermore, if vessel values fall significantly we may have to record an impairment adjustment in our financial statements which could adversely affect our financial results.
Risks inherent in the operation of oceangoing vessels could affect our business and reputation.
The operation of oceangoing vessels carries inherent risks. These risks include the possibility of:
-
marine disaster;
-
environmental accidents, including oil and hazardous substance spills;
-
grounding, fire, explosions and collisions;
-
accidents resulting from the handling or transport of dangerous or hazardous goods;
-
cargo and property losses or damages (including total loss of vessels);
-
business interruptions caused by mechanical failure, IT system outages, cyber-attacks, human error, war, sabotage, terrorism, political action in various countries, or adverse sea or weather conditions;
-
work stoppages or other labor problems with staff serving on vessels and at ports, substantially all of whom are unionized or covered by collective bargaining agreements;
-
• piracy and terrorism;
-
search and rescue operations, which could lead to business interruption or interfere with the safety and security of a vessel; and
-
delays, restrictions or business interruption due to trading in areas affected by disease outbreaks.
Any of the above occurrences could result in death or injury to persons, loss of property or environmental damages, delays in the delivery of cargo, loss of revenues from or termination of charter contracts, governmental fines, penalties or restrictions on conducting business, higher insurance rates, and damage to our reputation and customer relationships generally. The involvement of one or more of our vessels in an environmental disaster could also harm our reputation as a safe and reliable containership owner and operator. For example, in 2002, one of our vessels struck a submerged dredging pipeline, gashing its outer shell plating and spilling approximately 12,500 gallons of bunker fuel oil into the Cooper River and the nearby areas in Charleston Harbor. As a result of the
21
accident, over 30 linear miles of shorelines were oiled and we entered into a group settlement agreement in 2012 with the relevant regulatory authorities, including the United States Department of the Interior, the United States Department of Commerce, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The amount of the settlement was US$941,685.27 in total.
Although we have implemented mandatory environmental protection training course and established internal safety and environmental management system to ensure our compliance with the relevant strict industry practice standards, we cannot assure you that similar accidents will not occur in the future. Any of these circumstances or events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may incur impairment charges for the vessels we owned if the carrying value exceeds the market value.
We evaluate the carrying amounts of our vessels to determine if events have occurred that would require an impairment of their carrying amounts. The recoverable amount of vessels is reviewed based on events and changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recovered. The review for potential impairment indicators and projection of future cash flows related to the vessels is complex and requires us to make various estimates, including future freight rates, earnings from the vessels and discount rates. All of these items have been historically volatile.
We evaluate the recoverable amount as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount of the vessel, the vessel is deemed impaired. The carrying values of our vessels may not represent their fair market value in the future. Any impairment charges incurred as a result of declines in freight rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Significant indebtedness could affect our ability to finance our operations, pursue desirable business opportunities and successfully run our business in the future, and; therefore, make it more difficult for us to fulfill our obligations under our indebtedness.
Conditions in our industry and our strategy will require the procurement of substantial new capital to finance our operations, acquisition of new vessels, future development and growth. Historically, on average and as is typical in our industry, a substantial portion of the acquisition price of the vessels in our fleet has been funded by borrowings. We also fund the installation of scrubbers on our vessels though borrowings. As of June 30, 2020, we had NT$25.2 billion (US$857 million) of current portion of long-term borrowings, NT$4.0 billion (US$136 million) of current portion of corporate bonds payable, non-current portion of long-term borrowings of NT$85.7 billion (US$2,910 million), non-current portion of corporate bonds payable of NT$6.0 billion (US$204 million) and shareholders’ equity of NT$75.3 billion (US$2,558 million). This substantial indebtedness and related interest expense could have important consequences to our company, including (i) limiting our ability to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations in other areas of our business, including for working capital, capital expenditures and other general business activities, (ii) requiring us to seek to incur further indebtedness in order to fund the capital expenditures and other expenses or investments planned by us to the extent our future cash flows are insufficient, (iii) limiting our flexibility and our ability to capitalize on business opportunities in container shipping business and to react to competitive pressures and adverse changes in government regulation, our business and our industry, (iv) increasing our vulnerability to a downturn in our business and to adverse economic and industry conditions generally and (v) placing us at a competitive disadvantage as compared to our competitors that are less leveraged.
Our ability to secure additional financing, if needed, may be substantially restricted by the existing level of our indebtedness and the restrictions contained in our credit facilities. Although we have never breached any financial covenants, and we are able to continue to borrow to the extent necessary for our business, the amount of indebtedness could in the future limit our flexibility in relation to our ability to borrow or expand our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, and ability to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness.
22
We rely on revenues generated from a limited number of subsidiaries in certain regions, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We are highly dependent on revenues generated from our subsidiaries in Panama, as well as subsidiaries in certain regions. Economic slowdowns, changes in laws and other restrictions or factors that affect the economic health of Panama may affect our business. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, approximately 38% of our revenues were derived from subsidiaries located in Panama. We have in the past derived, and may in the future derive, a significant portion of our revenues from a relatively limited number of subsidiaries. Consequently, if our top subsidiaries reduce their performance significantly, our business operations, results of operations and financial conditions may be materially and adversely affected.
We may decide to expand our business in the geographical areas and markets where we current operate and into new geographical areas and markets, which may subject us to new uncertainties and risks.
We may decide to expand our business in the geographic areas and markets where we currently operate and into new geographical areas and markets to further diversify our business. However, such expansion may present new challenges and risks to us. Our future expansion will depend upon a number of factors, both within and outside of our control, including but not limited to our ability to manage business, our ability to obtain any required financing, and our ability to achieve operational efficiencies, in addition to the cyclical or seasonal factors affecting the container shipping business. We may not successfully manage our growth or expand our operations at all. If we fail to manage such risks and achieve expected benefits, our business operation, results of operations and financial conditions may be materially and adversely affected.
Loss of our senior management or other key personnel could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our future success will depend, in significant part, upon the continued services of our senior management team and other key personnel who have substantial experience in the shipping industry. We believe that the experience of our senior management team is a vital component to maintain longterm relationships with our customers. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could adversely affect our future operating results, and we may have to incur significant costs to find sufficient replacements for them, if available.
We are subject to complex international and domestic laws and regulations, including environmental regulations and the failure to comply with these regulations may subject us to increased liability and may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports.
Our operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations in the form of international conventions and treaties, national, state and local laws and national and international regulations in force in the jurisdictions in which our vessels operate or are registered, which can significantly affect the ownership and operation of our vessels. Compliance with such laws, regulations and standards, where applicable, may require installation of costly equipment or operational changes and may affect the resale value or useful lives of our vessels. If any of our vessels are denied access to, or are detained in, certain ports, our revenues may be adversely impacted. We may also incur additional costs in order to comply with other existing and future regulatory obligations, including, but not limited to, costs relating to air emissions, the management of ballast waters, maintenance and inspection, development and implementation of emergency procedures and insurance coverage or other financial assurance of our ability to address pollution incidents.
23
For example, NOx Tier III requirements implemented by the International Maritime Organization have come into effect since January 2016, which has caused the increase in vessel construction costs. In addition, the International Maritime Organization has adopted the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, or the BWM Convention, which is expected to come into force in late 2017. The BWM Convention will require all ships to implement a ballast water management plan and to carry out ballast water management procedures to a required standard. As a result, we may incur additional costs and expenses to improve our vessels to comply with the BWM Convention, in order to make them properly qualified and certified.
These costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. A failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in administrative and civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or termination of our operations. Environmental laws often impose strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of oil and hazardous substances, which could subject us to liability without regard to whether we were negligent or at fault.
Compliance with safety and other vessel requirements imposed by classification societies may be very costly and may adversely affect our business.
The hull and machinery of every commercial vessel must be classed by a classification society authorized by the vessel’s’ country of registry. The classification society certifies that a vessel is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the vessel and the Safety of Life at Sea Convention and various UN conventions.
A vessel must undergo annual surveys, intermediate surveys and special surveys. Every vessel is also required to be dry-docked twice every five years for inspection of our underwater parts.
Compliance with the above requirements may result in significant expense. If any vessel does not maintain our class or fails any annual, intermediate or special survey, the vessel will be unable to trade between ports and will be unemployable, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Our business has inherent operational risks, which may not be adequately covered by insurance.
Our operation has certain unique risks. With a container carrier, the cargo itself and its interaction with the vessel can be an operational risk. By their nature, container cargoes are often heavy, dense, easily shifted, and react badly to water exposure. In addition, container carriers are often subjected to battering treatment during unloading operations with grabs, jackhammers (to pry encrusted cargoes out of the hold) and small bulldozers. This treatment may cause damage to the vessel. Vessels damaged due to treatment during unloading procedures may be more susceptible to breach to the sea. Hull breaches in container carriers may lead to the flooding of the vessels’ holds. If a container carrier suffers flooding in its forward holds, the container cargo may become so dense and waterlogged that its pressure may buckle the vessel’s leading to the loss of a vessel. If we are unable to adequately maintain our vessels we may be unable to prevent these events. In addition, we do not maintain business interruption insurance. Any of these circumstances or events could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the loss of any of our vessels could harm our reputation as a safe and reliable vessel owner and operator.
Our vessels and their cargoes are at risk of being damaged or lost because of events such as marine disasters, bad weather, mechanical failures, human error, environmental accidents, war, terrorism, piracy and other circumstances or events. However, the vessel has an insurance coverage of up to 100% of its book value which is sufficient to cover the asset loss and related expense. Therefore, the aforementioned potential incidents would not have a material adverse effect to our financial condition as well as business operation. In addition, transporting cargoes across a wide variety of international jurisdictions creates a risk of business interruptions due to political circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities, labor strikes and boycotts, the potential for changes in tax rates or policies, and the potential for government expropriation of our vessels. Any of these events may result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to our customers, which could impair their ability to make payments to us.
24
In the event of a casualty to a vessel or other catastrophic event, we will rely on our insurance to pay the insured value of the vessel or the damages incurred. We cannot assure you that we will be adequately insured against all risks or that we will be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates for our vessels in the future. For example, in the past more stringent environmental regulations have led to increased costs for, and in the future may result in the lack of availability of, insurance against risks of environmental damage or pollution. Additionally, our insurers may refuse to pay particular claims. Any significant loss or liability for which we are not insured could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Our shipping business is exposed to risks associated with the failure to declare or misdeclaration of illegal or dangerous cargo by our customers.
Our shipping business provides services including the shipping of certain illegal, dangerous or hazardous cargo. The shipping of illegal or dangerous cargo may potentially be a major hazard unless such cargo has been properly identified to us and packed and secured in accordance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (the “IMDG Code”). The IMDG Code was developed as a uniform international code for the transport of dangerous goods by sea covering such matters as packing, container traffic and stowage, with particular reference to the segregation of incompatible substances. Although we have put in place measures which aim to ensure that illegal or dangerous cargos are fully declared and stowed on our vessels in accordance with the IMDG Code, we cannot assure you that some customers will not misdeclare or fail to declare such illegal or dangerous cargo. The failure or misdeclaration of illegal or dangerous cargo could result in container explosions and fires, damage to or loss of vessels, equipment or cargo or loss of life. Any such event may expose us to losses and liabilities, loss of income, increased costs and damage to our reputation. In addition, we are required to comply with local laws and regulations regarding the declaration of illegal or dangerous cargo. In the event of any non-compliance with the IMDG code or relevant local laws and regulations, we may be exposed to fines, penalties or even litigation, which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Delays or cost overruns in building new vessels, including the failure to deliver new vessels, would adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Building new vessels is subject to risks of delay (including the failure to timely deliver new vessels to customers) or cost overruns caused by financial difficulties of the shipyard building a vessel, including bankruptcy, unforeseen quality or engineering problems, work stoppages, weather interference, unanticipated cost increases, delays in receipt of necessary materials or equipment, changes to design specifications and inability to obtain the requisite permits, approvals or certifications from governmental authorities and the applicable classification society upon completion of work.
Significant delays, cost overruns and failure to timely deliver new vessels to customers could adversely affect us in several ways, including delaying the implementation of our business strategies. If the delay is too long, buyers may cancel the contract. In such circumstances, we may incur increased costs or suffer losses that are not transferrable to our customers under the contract, which may exceed the amount of deposits paid or bank guarantees of our customers. In addition, we are typically subject to substantial amounts of payments before the newbuildings are delivered and start to generate revenue. To this end, delays in delivery may also adversely affect our liquidity and anticipated business prospect.
Declines in freight rates and other market deterioration could cause us to incur impairment charges.
We evaluate the carrying amounts of our vessels to determine if events have occurred that would require an impairment of their carrying amounts. The recoverable amount of vessels is reviewed based on events and changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recovered. The review for potential impairment indicators and projection of future cash flows related to the vessels is complex and requires us to make various estimates, including future freight rates, earnings from the vessels and discount rates. All of these items have been historically volatile.
25
We evaluate the recoverable amount as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount of the vessel, the vessel is deemed impaired. The carrying values of our vessels may not represent their fair market value in the future because the new market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in freight rates and the cost of newbuildings. Any impairment charges incurred as a result of declines in freight rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The aging of our fleet may result in increased operating costs in the future, which could adversely affect our earnings.
In general, maintaining a vessel in good operating condition increases with the age of the vessel. The average age of our fleet was 11 years as of June 30, 2020, as our fleet ages, we will incur increased costs. Older vessels are typically less fuel-efficient and more costly to maintain than more recently constructed vessels due to improvements in engine technology. Governmental regulations and safety or other equipment standards related to the age of vessels may also require expenditures for alterations or the addition of new equipment to our vessels and may restrict the type of activities in which our vessels may engage. As our vessels become older, we may have to replace such vessels upon the expiration of their useful lives. Unless we maintain reserves or are able to borrow or raise funds for vessel replacement, we will be unable to replace such older vessels. The inability to replace the vessels in our fleet upon the expiration of their useful lives could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Any reserves set aside for vessel replacement will not be available for the payment of dividends to shareholders. As a result, we cannot assure you that, as our vessels age, market conditions will justify those expenditures or enable us to operate our vessels profitably during the remainder of their useful lives.
We face periodic maintenance, repairing and dry-docking costs for our vessels, which can be substantial.
We are responsible for the repair and maintenance of our vessels, cost of which could be substantial. In particular, vessels must be dry-docked periodically for regulatory compliance and for maintenance and repair. Our dry-docking requirements are subject to associated risks, including delay and cost overruns, lack of necessary equipment, unforeseen engineering problems, employee strikes or other work stoppages, unanticipated cost increases, inability to obtain necessary certifications and approvals and shortages of materials or skilled labor. A significant delay in dry dockings could have an adverse effect on our contract commitments. The cost of repairs and renewals required at each dry dock are difficult to predict with certainty and can be substantial. Our insurance does not cover these costs.
Maritime claimants could arrest one or more of our vessels, which could interrupt our cash flow.
Crew members, suppliers of goods and services to a vessel, shippers of cargo and other parties may be entitled to a maritime lien against a vessel for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In many jurisdictions, a claimant may seek to obtain security for its claim by arresting a vessel through foreclosure proceedings. The arrest or attachment of one or more of our vessels could interrupt our cash flow and require us to pay large sums of money to have the arrest or attachment lifted. In addition, in some jurisdictions, such as South Africa, under the “sister ship” theory of liability, a claimant may arrest both the vessel which is subject to the claimant’s maritime lien and any “associated” vessel, which is any vessel owned or controlled by the same owner. Claimants could attempt to assert “sister ship” liability against one vessel in our fleet for claims relating to another of our vessels. Although currently we do not have any vessels under arrest, if our vessels are arrested, our operations and our cash flow could be adversely affected.
26
We are subject to certain litigations or investigations and may be subject to litigation or investigation that, if not resolved in our favor and not sufficiently insured against, could have an adverse effect on us.
We may be, from time to time, involved in various litigation matters. These matters may include, among other things, cargo damage claims, contract disputes, personal injury claims, environmental claims or proceedings, employment matters, governmental claims for taxes or duties, and other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of our business. We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings as respondent. See “Business-Legal proceedings and governmental investigations.” Although we do not expect such cases will have material and adverse impact on our business operations and we intend to defend such matters vigorously, we cannot predict with certainty the outcome or effect of any claim or other litigation matter, and the ultimate outcome of any litigation or the potential costs to resolve them may have any adverse effects on us.
Our business could be adversely affected by terrorist attacks, piracy and international hostilities that affect the transportation industry.
Terrorist attacks or piracy attacks against merchant ships, the outbreak of war, or the existence of international hostilities could damage the world economy, adversely affect the availability of and demand for transportation services, and adversely affect our ability to profitably operate and deploy our vessels. We operate in a sector of the economy that we believe is particularly likely to be adversely impacted by the effects of political instability, terrorist attacks, war, international hostilities or piracy.
Acts of piracy have historically affected ocean-going vessels trading in regions of the world such as the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia, with container vessels particularly vulnerable to such attacks. If these piracy attacks result in regions in which our vessels are deployed and characterized as “war risk” zones by insurers, as the Gulf of Aden temporarily was in May 2008, or Joint War Committee “war and strikes” listed areas, premiums payable for such coverage could increase significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In addition, crew costs, including due to employing onboard security guards, could increase in such circumstances. We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, any detention hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against our vessels, or an increase in cost or unavailability of insurance for our vessels, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In response to piracy incidents, particularly in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia, following consultation with regulatory authorities, we may station guards on some of our vessels in some instances. While our use of guards is intended to deter and prevent the hijacking of our vessels, it may also increase our risk of liability for death or injury to persons or damage to personal property. If we do not have adequate insurance in place to cover such liability, it could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Our vessels may call on ports which are identified by the United States, the European Union, or other authorities as state sponsors of terrorism and are subject to export controls and economic sanctions, which could be viewed negatively by investors.
Vessels in our fleet may call on ports located in countries identified by the United States, the United Nations, the European Union, or other authorities as state sponsors of terrorism and subject to export controls.
Although state sponsors of terrorism designations and controls do not prevent our vessels from making calls to ports in these countries, potential investors could view such port calls negatively, which could adversely affect our reputation. Although we have never been subject to any investigations, sanctions or proceedings of similar nature by any country or authority as a result of our vessels calling on ports which have been identified as state sponsors of terrorism by the US or the other countries, investor perception of our value may be adversely affected by the consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest and governmental actions in these and surrounding countries.
27
Governments could requisition our vessels during a period of war or emergency, resulting in a loss of earnings.
A government could requisition one or more of our vessels for title or for hire. Requisition for title occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and becomes her owner, while requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and effectively becomes her charterer at dictated charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during periods of war or emergency, although governments may elect to requisition vessels in other circumstances. Although we would be entitled to compensation in the event of a requisition of our vessels, the amount and timing of such payments would be uncertain and there would be no guarantee that such amounts would be paid, or if paid, would fully satisfy lost profits associated with the requisition. Government requisition of one or more of our vessels may negatively impact our revenues.
We are subject to risks associated with operating internationally.
Our non-domestic operations are subject to varying degrees of regulations in each of the foreign jurisdictions in which we provide services. Local laws and regulations, and their interpretation and enforcement, differ significantly among those jurisdictions, and can change significantly overtime. Future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes or interpretations may have a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver services in foreign jurisdictions. Moreover, we are subject to risk of unilateral governmental or quasi-governmental action in different jurisdictions. Such risks include sanctions that prohibit trade in particular areas, restrictive actions such as vessel arrest, local ownership requirement, compulsory acquisition of our assets with no compensation or with compensation which is below market value.
In addition to these international regulatory risks, some of the other risks inherent in conducting business internationally include, among others: (i) economic, political and social instability; (ii) potential vessel seizure, terrorist attacks, piracy, kidnapping, the expropriation of assets and other governmental actions, many of which are not covered by our insurance; (iii) currency restrictions and exchange rate fluctuations; (iv) potential submission to the jurisdiction of a foreign court or arbitration panel; (v) pandemics or epidemics that disrupt worldwide trade or the movement of vessels; (vi) import and export quotas; (vii) additional U.S. and other regulation of non-domestic operations, and (viii) the imposition of unanticipated or increased taxes, increased environmental and safety regulations or other forms of public and governmental regulation that increase our operating expenses.
Furthermore, there is a risk that countries could respond to a global economic downturn and financial crisis by resorting to protectionist measures in order to preserve domestic industries. Such measures include the raising of import tariffs, provision of subsidies to domestic industries and the creation of other trade barriers. Due to the fact that a large portion of our business is conducted worldwide and the profitability of our business is affected by the volume of global trade, if a trend towards protectionism rises, our businesses and prospects are likely to be adversely affected as the level of world trade declines.
Many of these risks inherent in conducting shipping business are beyond our control, and we cannot predict the nature or the likelihood of the occurrence or corresponding effect of any such events, each of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are susceptible to severe weather and natural disasters.
Given the nature and scope of our operations, we are constantly vulnerable to disruption as a result of adverse weather conditions, including hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes and other natural disasters. The natural disasters that we may encounter may, among other things, (i) hinder our ability to effectively and timely provide scheduled service to our customers whether due to damage to our properties, to our customers’ operations, or to dock or other transportation facilities; (ii) interfere with our terminal operations; (iii) damage our vessels and equipment; or (iv) result in injury or death to our employees. Any of these factors, especially to the extent not fully covered by insurance, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
28
We may have difficulty properly managing our planned growth through acquisitions of additional vessels.
We intend to grow our business through the acquisition of our newbuildings. We may contract additional newbuild vessels. Our future growth will primarily depend on our ability to locate and acquire suitable vessels, enlarge our customer base, operate and supervise any newbuildings we may order and obtain required debt or equity financing on acceptable terms.
A shipyard could fail to deliver a newbuilding on time or at all because of work stoppages or other hostilities, political or economic disturbances that disrupt the operations of the shipyard, quality or engineering problems, bankruptcy or other financial crisis of the shipyard, a backlog of orders at the shipyard, disputes between us and the shipyard regarding contractual obligations, weather interference or catastrophic events, such as major earthquakes or fires, our requests for changes to the original vessel specifications or shortages of or delays in the receipt of necessary construction materials, such as steel, or equipment, such as main engines, electricity generators and propellers.
In addition, we may seek to terminate a vessel acquisition contract due to market conditions, financing limitations or other reasons. The outcome of contract termination negotiations may require us to forego deposits on construction or acquisition, as applicable, and pay additional cancellation fees.
As we expand our business, we may need to improve our operating and financial systems and will need to recruit suitable employees and crew for our vessels.
We plan to continue to expand our fleet size in order to expand our business. As of June 30, 2020, we had 61 newbuildings on order book, including both owned and chartered vessels, which will be delivered in 2020 to 2022. While we expect that our current operating and financial systems will be adequate to manage our current plans to expand our fleet size, we may need to upgrade our systems, in the longer term, which will require us to increase our capital expenditure and may cause temporary disruptions in the running of our fleet. We have no immediate plans to upgrade our financial systems, but we will continue to monitor these systems as we continue to expand our fleet in the longer term.
In addition, as we expand our fleet, we will need to recruit suitable additional seafarers and shore side administrative and management personnel. Although we have been increasing our shore staff as we expanded our fleet, we cannot guarantee that in the future we will be able to hire suitable employees as we continually expand our fleet. If we or our crewing agent encounters business or financial difficulties, we may not be able to adequately staff our vessels. If we are unable to recruit suitable employees as we expand our fleet, our financial performance may also be adversely affected.
We, or any of our subsidiaries, may become subject to tax in jurisdictions in which we are organized or operate, which would reduce our earnings and potentially cause certain shareholders to be subject to tax in such jurisdictions.
We intend that our affairs and the business of each of our subsidiaries will be conducted and operated in a manner that minimizes taxes imposed upon us and our subsidiaries. However, there is a risk that we will be subject to income tax in one or more jurisdictions, including the United States, if under the laws of any such jurisdiction, we or such subsidiary is considered to be carrying on a trade or business therein or earn income that is considered to be sourced therein and we do not or such subsidiary does not qualify for an exemption.
Failure to comply with competition laws to which we are subject could lead to the imposition of fines and constraints on our business practices.
Unless covered by special exemptions, the shipping industry is subject to general competition laws. These general competition laws are designed to preserve free and open competition in the marketplace in order to enhance competitiveness and economic efficiency. These laws generally prohibit agreements or concerted actions among competitors if they adversely affect competition, in particular, if they lead to the formation of cartels or anticompetitive foreclosure. The abuse of a dominant position also constitutes a violation of such laws.
29
Shipping companies could face fines, ordered remedies and damages claims if they fail to comply with applicable regulatory regimes. In the event that we are found not to be in compliance with the regulatory regime and sanctions are imposed on us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our reputation could also be damaged if allegations of illegal behavior are made against us.
In May 2011, the European Commission’s Directorate General for Competition (“DG COMP”) carried out unannounced inspections at the premises of various carriers, including us, in order to investigate possible collusion among carriers on prices and capacities in the Asia-EU trade. The European Commission ultimately found that we are not in violation with the relevant regulation. However, in order to ease the European Commission’s concerns over potential risk in “price signal,” we committed to adjust our pricing practices and submitted four relevant reports to the European Commission. The final report was submitted in December 2019 and the case is closed.
In December 2015, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, or the FAS, accused that Maersk Line, CMA CGM, Hyundai Merchant Marine, Orient Overseas Container Line and us violated the Federal Law “On Protection of Competition.” The alleged violation was that the companies were exercising prohibited concerted actions that resulted in fixing mark-ups to the freight rate on the market of liner container shipping on the Far East/Southeast Asia, the Russian Federation (St Petersburg, Ust-Luga) route in 2012 to 2013. In response, we filed an appeal to reverse the FAS decision. The case against us was closed after we separately entered into a settlement with the FAS.
In 2016, the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission (the “TFTC”) received a whistleblower complaint that certain carriers were colluding to increase ocean freight rates by taking advantage of Hanjin’s bankruptcy. On September 20, 2019, the TFTC announced that no violation had been discovered against us and the investigation is closed.
In 2017, the United States Department of Justice (the “U.S. DOJ”) issued a subpoena to us with respect to an investigation of inappropriate communications, which was beyond the scope authorized by the United States Transportation Administration among carriers. After two years of investigation, the U.S. DOJ informed us that no violation was found and this case was closed in February 2019.
In May 2019, the Korean Fair Trade Commission (the “KFTC”) issued a notice to our office in South Korea, in which they requested us to provide certain materials and documents in relation to their investigation. We have appointed legal counsels to assist us in communication with the KFTC. The investigation is currently ongoing, and there can be no assurance as to the direction the KFTC’s investigation will take in the future or its outcome at this stage. Furthermore, no assurance as to the overall timing of the investigation can be given. If we ultimately become subject to sanctions under this investigation, we may be required to pay fines and/or to change our business practices. Any of the foregoing outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We do not control certain joint ventures or associated companies in which they hold interests or invests, which could limit our ability to identify and manage risks. In addition, failure of our business strategies through our subsidiaries, associated companies and other business alliance partners could negatively affect our financial condition, operating results and reputation.
We hold interests and have invested, and may continue to hold interests and invest, in joint ventures or associated companies in which we have non-controlling interest. For example, we currently hold approximately 40.4% and 16.0% of equity interest in Evergreen International Storage & Transportation Corporation and EVA Airways Corporations, respectively. In these cases, we have limited influence over, and limited or no control of, the governance, performance and cost of operations of such entities. Some of these entities may represent significant investments and potentially also use our brand. These entities that we do not control may make business, financial or investment decisions contrary to our interests or may make decisions different from those that we may have made. Additionally, our partners or members of joint ventures or associated companies may not be able to meet their financial or other obligations, which could expose us to additional financial or other obligations, as well as having a material adverse effect on the value of our investments in those entities or potentially subjecting us to additional claims.
30
In addition, we accounted for some of our investments in associated companies under the equity method. Therefore, net losses incurred by equity method investees may cause us to record our share of the net losses. For example, EVA Airways Corporations recorded a net loss of NT$1.8 billion (US$61.1 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2020. As a result, we recorded a net loss of NT$293 million (US$10.0 million) due to our investment in EVA Airways Corporations. Furthermore, we may lose the capital which we have invested in associated companies and other business alliances or may incur impairment losses on securities acquired in such alliances.
Foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, and our attempts to hedge against such fluctuations may be ineffective and further deteriorate our financial condition.
We generate substantially all of our revenues in U.S. dollars. In the future, we may enter into new credit facilities or newbuilding contracts that are denominated in US dollar and permit conversion into New Taiwan dollar. The possibility of using different currencies could lead to fluctuations in our net income due to changes in the value of the New Taiwan dollar relative to other currencies.
Additionally, an increase in prevailing interest rates would have an effect on the interest rates charged on our variable rate debt, which rise and fall upon changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2020, most of our short-term and long-term borrowings was at variable interest rates. If the prevailing interest rates or other factors result in higher interest rates, the increased interest expense would adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to service our debt. If interest rates are higher when our debt becomes due, we may be forced to borrow at the higher rates.
The impact of future exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations on our results of operations and financial condition cannot be accurately predicted, and there can be no assurance that our attempt to mitigate the adverse effects of exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations will be successful or that such fluctuations will not in the future have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Relating to the ROC
Disruptions in the ROC’s political environment could seriously harm our business.
Our headquarters and management are based in Taiwan. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations and the market price of our Common Shares or Bonds may be affected by changes in ROC governmental policies, taxation, inflation, interest rates, social instability and other political, economic, diplomatic or social developments in or affecting the ROC which are outside of our control.
In addition, Taiwan has a unique international political status. Since 1949, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland have been separately governed. The PRC government claims that it is the sole government of China and that Taiwan is part of China. Although significant economic and cultural relations have been established during recent years between Taiwan and the PRC, political relations have often been strained. The PRC government has refused to renounce the use of military force to gain control over Taiwan. Furthermore, the PRC government passed an Anti-Secession Law in March 2005, which authorizes non-peaceful means and other necessary measures should Taiwan move to gain independence from mainland China and the PRC government reiterated its stance in May 2020. Relations between Taiwan and the PRC may face uncertainty going forward. Past developments in relations between Taiwan and the PRC have on occasion depressed the market prices of the securities of companies in Taiwan. Relations between Taiwan and the PRC and other factors affecting military, political or economic conditions in Taiwan could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, as well as the market price and the liquidity of the Common Shares. There can be no assurance that the present tensions will not worsen, which could have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
31
The value of the Common Shares and the Bonds may be adversely affected by the volatility of the Taiwan securities market.
The ROC securities market is smaller and more volatile than the securities markets in the United States and in certain European and other countries. The TWSE has experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices and volumes of sales of listed securities and has shown particular volatility following certain political events, market events, scandals, and there are currently limits on the range of daily price movements on the TWSE. The TWSE has experienced problems such as market manipulation, insider trading and payment defaults. The recurrence of these or similar problems and restrictions on price movements could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of the securities listed on the TWSE, including the Common Shares.
In response to major past declines and volatility in the securities markets in Taiwan, and in line with similar activities by other countries in Asia, the ROC government formed the National Stabilization Fund in 2000, which has purchased, and may from time to time purchase, shares listed on the TWSE to support these securities markets in Taiwan. In addition, other funds associated with the ROC government have in the past purchased, and may from time to time purchase, shares listed on the TWSE or other securities markets in Taiwan. In the future, market activity by government entities, or the perception that such activity is taking place, may take place or has ceased, may cause fluctuations in the market prices and liquidity of the Common Shares.
Foreign exchange approvals may be required.
Under existing ROC laws, foreign exchange approvals must be obtained from the CBC on a paymentby-payment basis for the conversion from NT dollars into foreign currencies in connection with the proceeds from the sale of subscription rights for newly issued Common Shares if the proceeds are in excess of US$100,000 per remittance. Although such approvals have been routinely granted in the past, there can be no assurance that in the future any such approvals will be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, foreign persons may, subject to certain required documents, but without foreign exchange approval of the CBC, remit outside and into the ROC foreign currencies of up to US$100,000 (or its equivalent) for each remittance. There can be no assurance that no requirement for approval of such remittance will continue being applicable in the future.
The imposition of foreign exchange restrictions may have an adverse effect on foreign investors’ abilities to acquire ROC securities, including the Common Shares, or to repatriate the interest, dividends or sale proceeds from those securities.
The ROC government may impose foreign exchange restrictions in certain emergency situations, including situations where there are sudden fluctuations in interest rates or exchange rates, where the ROC government experiences extreme difficulty in stabilizing the balance of payments or where there are substantial disturbances in the financial and capital markets in Taiwan. These restrictions may require foreign investors to obtain Taiwan government’s approval before acquiring ROC securities, repatriating the interest or dividends from those securities or repatriating the proceeds from the sale of those securities. There can be no assurance that these restrictions, if imposed, will not adversely affect, among other things, the secondary market price of the Bonds.
Financial reporting requirements and accounting standards in the ROC differ from those of other countries.
We are subject to financial reporting requirements in the ROC that differ in significant respects from those applicable to companies in certain other countries including the United States. In addition, our financial statements are prepared in accordance with Taiwan IFRS, which differs in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in certain other countries, such as U.S. GAAP or IFRS. The accounting treatment adopted by us under Taiwan IFRS may cause volatility of our revenue and/or profits. Potential investors should consult their own professional advisers for an understanding of such differences and how they might affect the financial information contained herein.
32
We publish monthly operating revenue information as part of our ongoing reporting obligations and such information is subject to change due to normal quarter-end closing procedures and excludes certain expenses and other information necessary to be indicative of actual financial results.
We post monthly sales information on the MOPS, as part of our ongoing reporting obligation as a listed company on the TWSE. Such information is preliminary, and is subject to change, upon adjustments and after the completion of our normal quarter-end closing process. Actual sales could differ materially from the preliminary information posted on MOPS. Furthermore, our preliminary operating revenue only reflects sales information up to August 2020 and may not be indicative of our net profit/loss for the months of August 2020. As a result, you should not place undue reliance on such information.
You may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court in the ROC.
We are a company limited by shares and incorporated under the ROC Company Act. Substantially all of our directors and executive officers, and certain of the parties named herein, are residents of the ROC. As a result, it may be difficult for holders of the Common Shares or the Bonds to enforce against us or such persons the judgments obtained outside the ROC, including those predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
Risks Relating to the Common Shares and the Bonds
Non-ROC holders of the Bonds will be required to register with the Taiwan Stock Exchange and appoint several local agents in Taiwan if they convert the Bonds and become our shareholders, which may make ownership burdensome.
Under current ROC law, if non-ROC holders of the Bonds wish to convert any of their Bonds and to hold Common Shares, they will be required to register with the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the “TWSE”) for making investments in the ROC securities market prior to receiving Common Shares upon conversion of the Bonds. In addition, non-ROC converting holders of the Bonds will be required to appoint an eligible agent in the ROC to (i) open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm (with qualification set by the FSC) and a bank account, (ii) pay ROC taxes, (iii) remit funds, (iv) exercise shareholders’ rights and (v) perform such other functions as holders of Bonds may designate upon such conversion. In addition, non-ROC converting holders of the Bonds will be required to appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities in safekeeping, make confirmation and settle trades and report all relevant information. Without meeting these requirements, the converting holder would be unable to hold or subsequently sell the Common Shares. In addition, these regulations may change from time to time. We cannot assure you that you will be able to register with the TWSE and open the requisite accounts in a timely manner or that current ROC law will remain in effect or that future changes in ROC law will not adversely affect your ability to convert the Bonds into our Common Shares.
Non-ROC holders of the Bonds who elect to exercise its conversion rights, receive Common Shares, and register as our shareholders are required under current ROC laws and regulations to appoint an agent (“Tax Guarantor”) in the ROC for filing tax returns and making tax payments on their behalf. A Tax Guarantor will be required to meet the qualifications set by the ROC Ministry of Finance and will act as the guarantor of the holder’s tax payment obligations. Evidence of the appointment of a Tax Guarantor and the approval of such appointment or tax clearance certification are required as conditions to repatriating the holder’s profits derived from the sale of Common Shares. There can be no assurance that non-ROC holders will be able to appoint and obtain approval for a Tax Guarantor in a timely manner.
33
There are legal restrictions on a PRC investor’s conversion of the Bonds into the Common Shares.
Under current ROC laws, regulations and policy, a PRC person is not permitted to hold the Common Shares upon conversion of the Bonds and to register as shareholders of our company unless (i) it is a qualified domestic institutional investor approved by competent PRC authorities (“QDII”) who will hold less than 10% of the Common Shares after conversion of the Bonds, or (ii) it otherwise obtains the approval of the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs if all the business items of the Company are within the positive list promulgated by the ROC government from time to time and it will hold 10% or more (or other threshold required by the regulators) of the Common Shares after conversion of the Bonds. In addition, there are restrictions on the amount remitted to Taiwan for investments by QDIIs, separately and jointly. Accordingly, the qualification criteria for a PRC person to make investment and the investment threshold imposed by the FSC and the TWSE might cause a Bonds holder who is a PRC person to be unable to hold the Common Shares upon conversion of the Bonds and to register as shareholders of our company. Under current ROC laws, “PRC person” means an individual holding a passport issued by the PRC, a resident of any area of China under the effective control or jurisdiction of the PRC (but not including a special administrative region of the PRC such as Hong Kong and Macau, if so excluded by applicable laws of the ROC), any agency or instrumentality of the PRC and any corporation, partnership or other entity organized under the laws of any such area or controlled by, or directly or indirectly having more than 30% of its capital owned by, or beneficially owned by any such person, resident, agency or instrumentality.
The returns of the Bondholders on the Bonds may depend on the value of the Common Shares.
The terms of the Bonds differ from those of ordinary debt securities because each Bond is convertible by the holder of the Bonds into the Common Shares. Accordingly, the Bonds may bear particular risks related to the Common Shares in addition to the risks of the debt securities. It is difficult to predict whether the price of the Common Shares will rise or fall. Trading prices of the Common Shares will be influenced by our operating results, and by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that can affect the capital markets generally, the TWSE and the market segments of which we are a part.
Depending on these factors, the value of the Common Shares may become substantially lower than it is when the Bonds are initially purchased. In addition, the value of the securities to be delivered may vary substantially between the date on which conversion rights are exercised and the date on which such securities are delivered.
Investors may face difficulties in protecting their interests because we are incorporated under the Panama law and the Panama Islands law may provide different remedies to minority shareholders when compared with the laws of other jurisdictions.
Subject to the Companies Law of the Republic of Panama (the “Companies Law”) and the common law of the Panama Islands, our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association. The laws of Panama Islands relating to the protection of the interests of minority shareholders (including the rights of our shareholders to bring shareholders’ suits against our board of directors under Panama laws) differ in some respects from those established under statutes or judicial precedents in some other jurisdictions. Such differences may mean that the remedies available to our minority shareholders may be different from those they would have under the laws of certain other jurisdictions. Therefore, our shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests in connection with actions taken by our management, members of our board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as shareholders of corporations of certain other jurisdictions.
34
A liquid market for the Bonds may not develop and there are restrictions on the transfer of the Bonds.
Prior to this offering, there has been no market for the Bonds being offered. The Initial Purchasers may make a market for the Bonds. However, the Initial Purchasers are not obligated to make a market and may discontinue this market-making activity at any time without notice. Such market-making activity is limited by the anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The Bonds are being offered pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and, as a result, you will only be able to resell your Bonds in transactions that have been registered under the Securities Act or in transactions not subject to or exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Similarly, neither the Common Shares nor the Bonds are registered under the Exchange Act. Approval-in-principle has been received for the listing and quotation of the Bonds on the SGX-ST. However, there can be no assurance that we will obtain or be able to maintain such a listing on the SGX-ST, or that, if listed, a trading market for the Bonds will develop on the SGX-ST.
The Common Shares or the Bonds may not be publicly offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in any jurisdiction where registration may be required. The Common Shares may only be publicly traded on the TWSE.
The value of your investment may be reduced by possible future sales of Common Shares or any securities that are substantially similar to the Common Shares by us or our stockholders.
Each of us, our chairman and his affiliates, certain of our directors and executive officers has agreed that it, she or he (as the case may be) will not, nor will any entity controlled by it, her or him (as the case may be) or any person acting on its, her or his (as the case may be) behalf, during the 90 day period commencing from the date of this Offering Memorandum, subject to certain specified exceptions, without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchasers, to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares. See “Plan of distribution” for a more detailed discussion of restrictions that may apply to future sales of our Common Shares or securities convertible into the Common Shares.
While we are not aware of any other plans by any major stockholders to dispose of significant numbers of Common Shares, we cannot assure you that one or more existing stockholders or owners of securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for our Common Shares will not dispose of significant numbers of Common Shares or such securities. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of Common Shares, or the availability of Common Shares for future sale, will have on the market price of the Bonds or Common Shares prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into the Common Shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could depress the prevailing market prices of our Bonds or Common Shares.
A holder of the Bonds or its designees requesting the conversion of the Bonds may be required to provide certain information to us or the Conversion Agent, and failure to provide such information may result in a delay of the conversion.
A holder of the Bonds or its designees requesting the conversion of the Bonds may be required to provide certain information to us or the Conversion Agent, including the name and nationality of the person to be registered as the stockholder and the number of Common Shares to be acquired by such person and the number of Common Shares acquired by such person in the past through the date of the Conversion Date. Under applicable ROC laws, we are required to report to the Securities and Futures Bureau if the person to be registered as a stockholder (1) is a “related party” of ours as defined in the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, or (2) will hold, immediately following such conversion, more than 10% of the total number of the Common Shares. Failure to provide such information may cause the delay of such conversion of the Bonds.
35
There are limitations on the Bondholders’ ability to exercise conversion rights.
The Bondholders will not be able to exercise conversion rights during any Closed Period (as defined in – Description of the bonds). Under the current ROC law, regulations and policy, PRC persons are not permitted to convert the Bonds or to register as our shareholders unless it is a QDII or otherwise obtains approval from the Investment Commission of Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Holders of the Bonds will bear the risk of fluctuations in the price of the Common Shares.
The market price of the Bonds at any time will be affected by fluctuations in the price of the Common Shares. It is impossible to predict how the price of the Common Shares will change. Trading prices of the Common Shares will be influenced by, among other things, our results of operations and political, economic, financial and other factors that affect capital markets generally. Any decline in the price of the Common Shares would adversely affect the market price of the Bonds.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the NT dollar and the US dollar may have a material adverse effect on the value of the Bonds in US dollar terms.
Although the principal amount of the Bonds is denominated in US dollars, the Common Shares are listed on the TWSE, which quotes and trades the Common Shares in NT dollars. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the NT dollar and the US dollar will affect, among other things, the market price of the Bonds and the US dollar equivalent of the Common Shares received upon conversion of the Bonds.
Holders of the Bonds will have no rights as shareholders until they acquire the Common Shares upon conversion of the Bonds.
Unless and until the holders of the Bonds acquire the Common Shares upon conversion of the Bonds, the holders of the Bonds will have no rights as shareholders, including any voting rights or rights to receive any dividends or other distributions with respect to the Common Shares. Subject to the indenture and other applicable Panama Islands and ROC laws, holders of the Bonds who acquire the Common Shares upon the exercise of their Conversion Rights will be entitled to exercise the rights of shareholders only as to actions for which the applicable record date occurs after the Conversion Date.
Our obligations under the Bonds will be junior in their right of payment to the secured indebtedness of our Company and our subsidiaries.
The Bonds will be our direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations and will rank pari passu without any preference or priority among themselves and with all of our other senior, direct, unconditional unsubordinated and unsecured obligations. However, the Bonds are junior in their right of payment to all of our current and future secure indebtedness. In addition, our ability to make payments in respect of the Bonds depends largely upon the receipt of dividends, distributions, interest of advances from our subsidiaries. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends and other amounts to us may be subject to their profitability and applicable laws. In the event of a winding up of our Company, although the Bonds would become immediately due and payable at the Early Redemption Amount, the assets of our Company would be available to pay such amounts only after all the secured indebtedness of our Company and our subsidiaries have been paid in full. Therefore, we may not be able to repay the Bonds in the event of a winding up of our Company, and you may suffer losses on your investment in the Bonds.
36
Use of Proceeds
We anticipate the net proceeds from this Offering, after deducting underwriting commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us for the Offering, to be approximately US$297.95 million. We intend to use the net proceeds to purchase raw materials overseas (fuel), ships, equipment and to lease ships.

Notes:
-
(1) Our stock dividend is declared in New Taiwan dollar amount per share. A shareholder receives as a stock dividend based on the number of Shares equal to the New Taiwan dollar amount per Share of dividend declared multiplied by the number of Shares owned by the shareholder and divided by the par value of NT$10 per Share.
-
(2) Our cash dividend is declared in New Taiwan dollar amount per Share. A shareholder receives as a cash dividend equal to the New Taiwan dollar amount per Share of dividend declared multiplied by the number of Shares owned by the shareholder.
-
(3) The total number of Shares issued as stock dividends include Shares issued from retained earnings and from capital reserve.
-
(4) The New Taiwan dollar amount of stock dividends paid is calculated based upon NT$10 per share times number of shares issued as stock dividend.
-
(5) The US dollar amount of stock dividends paid is calculated based upon the Noon Buying Rate as set forth in the weekly H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board for June 30, 2020 of NT$29.44 to US$1.00.
We are generally not permitted under the ROC Company Act to distribute dividends or to make any other distributions to shareholders for any fiscal year in which we have not generated net income. In addition, before distributing a dividend or making any other distribution to shareholders, we must pay all outstanding taxes, recover any past losses, and set aside a legal reserve equal to 10% of our net income. Apart from the aforesaid legal reserve, we also set aside a special reserve in accordance with applicable laws and regulations when necessary. See “Description of our share capital.”
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that, in principle, our net income, less prior years’ losses, outstanding taxes, the legal reserve and any special reserve may be distributed as dividends to shareholders upon proposal of the board of directors and approval of shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting. We may distribute dividends in way of cash or shares, provided that the cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of the total amount of dividends distributed to shareholders in that year. The ratio between cash dividend and stock dividend shall be proposed by our board of directors and then be approved by our shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting. In addition, pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, prior to distributing any dividends to our shareholders, we were required to first distribute (i) not less than 0.5% of the distributable earnings to employees as compensation and (ii) not more than 2% of the distributable earnings to directors as compensation. The employees’ compensation may, subject to a resolution of the board of directors, be distributed to employees in way of cash or shares and the directors’ compensation should be distributed in way of cash.
For information relating to ROC withholding taxes payable on dividends, see “Taxation – ROC Taxation.”

Business
Overview
We are the largest publicly listed international container shipping company in Taiwan and one of the leading international shipping companies in terms of fleet operations, service quality and innovative shipbuilding concepts. Our business covers ocean-going and near-sea shipping line, shipping agency business, as well as container freight station business. We owned 59 vessels and chartered 75 vessels as of June 30, 2020. We also have a total of 61 newbuilding as of June 30, 2020, which are expected to be delivered between 2020 and 2022.
We earn revenue primarily from the shipment of goods. All of our service routes are running under a regular liner basis, also involving port stevedoring, inland transports and comprehensive logistics services. Our customers cover various areas such as manufacturing, trading companies and retailers located all over the world. We consider many pricing factors for our ocean freight rate. Such factors typically include prevailing market prices, costs associated with the given service routes and the nature of cargo being shipped, among other factors.
We formed a substantial part of Evergreen Line, a member of the OCEAN Alliance. Members of the OCEAN Alliance together operate 38 services on the East-West trades with 97 ports of call and almost 500 port pairs. Supported by a highly-efficient fleet of 330 vessels with approximately 3.8 million TEUs in total annual capacity, the OCEAN Alliance complies with the requirements of global supply chains while providing higher sailing frequencies, better transit times and greater coverage in terms of loops, ports of call and port pairs.
We were founded by our Founder Chang, Yung-Fa. Mr. Chang incorporated the Company in Taiwan in 1968. We have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since 1987 and trade under the stock code “2603.” As of September 22, 2020, our market capitalization, based on the closing price of NT$15.80 per Common Share on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, was approximately NT$76.0 billion (US$2.6 billion).
Competitive Strengths
We believe that our historical success and future prospects are directly related to a combination of strengths, including the following:
Market-leading position in Transpacific and Intra-Asia routes supported by strong global network and cooperation agreements
According to Alphaliner, Evergreen Line is the seventh-largest operator with approximately 5% global market share by TEU. Evergreen Line has demonstrated a strong foothold and leadership by being the second-largest operator of Transpacific routes with approximately 12% market share, the third-largest operator of Intra-Asia routes with approximately 11% market share and the sixth-largest operator of Asia-Europe routes with approximately 10% market share. Evergreen Line operates a global container shipping network made up of 141 lines, composed of 59 main lines and 82 short sea and feeder lines as of June 30, 2020. Our global and diversified global network provides a key advantage for us in a market where scale helps to attract customers and has a positive impact on operating costs and profitability. As of June 30, 2020, Evergreen Line has an extensive global network with a presence in 117 countries with approximately 150 weekly loops, approximately 250 terminals and 320 global offices and agencies.
In April 2017, COSCO, CMA CGM and OOCL and Evergreen Line established the “OCEAN Alliance,” which is designed to enable its members to offer comprehensive service networks covering the AsiaEurope, Asia-Mediterranean, Asia-Red Sea, Asia-Middle East, Trans-Pacific, Asia-US East Coast and Trans-Atlantic trade routes. As of June 30, 2020, the OCEAN Alliance had 38 service routes, 330 vessels and a total operating capacity of approximately 3.8 million TEUs. As a member of the OCEAN Alliance, we focus on coordinating the members’ respective landside/terminal operations to generate additional cost benefits. Our participation in the OCEAN Alliance allows us to build on our
40
comprehensive and customer-focused service network by allowing our customers to take advantage of higher sailing frequencies, better transit times and greater coverage in terms of loops, ports of call and port pairs to more efficiently and reliably transport their goods. At the same time, the OCEAN Alliance allows us to improve our level of slot utilization on relevant lines as compared to our standalone operations and to take advantage of economies of scale to ensure competitive costs.
Proven track record of financial resilience and operational stability over shipping cycles,brought about by extensive geographical coverage and diversified trade routes managed with “big data” analysis
Evergreen Line benefits from a diversified and integrated business model, which includes wide geographical coverage and global trade routes. The broad geographical presence of our terminals reduces risk of business concentration and imbalance due to trade regulations in any particular country, region or industry. Our diversified revenue base supports our resilience and the stability of our business model. The geographic diversity reduces our reliance on any particular region and manages geographical imbalances occurred with trade regulations. For example, during the trade war between the United States and China, we experienced significant volume increases in Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia, making up for a volume decrease in the United States and China due to the trade war. Evergreen Line plans to continue to add new routes and diversify our trade routes with extensive coverage of the intra-regions to provide a buffer against external disruptions, such as COVID-19 and US-China trade tensions.
Our diversified, integrated business model is also supported by our big data analysis. Our big data analysis with respect to routing has allowed us to optimize our sailing schedules and routes to account for currents and weather. The analysis also improves our fleet allocation to cater to our customers’ demand. We also use our big data analysis to manage trade flows within our trade routes, which allows the strategic allocation of fleet resources to enhance resilience and operational stability. Moreover, our business’s increasing overall resilience and operational stability as a result of technological advancements have helped us control our operating costs and improve our profitability. Since we started utilizing big data analysis in 2018, we have successfully enhanced the efficiency and performance of our Asia-Middle East routes as we made adjustments to our routes based on results from our analysis model. We believe big data analysis could help us systematically avoid “blind spots” and we expect more improvement to our operating efficiency based on further analysis.
Young and modern fleet with a balanced ownership profile providing operational flexibility
We operate our business through a young and modern fleet. Our fleet comprises vessels of the latest designs with various energy-saving measures, and employs some of the latest vessel technologies. As of June 30, 2020, our fleet of container vessels has an average age lower than 11 years, significantly lower than the typical useful life of container vessels ranging from 18 to 25 years. With our new orders of ships, the average age is expected to further reduce to approximately eight years. We believe that a modern fleet lowers our shipping costs, and improves operational efficiency and competitiveness in various trade routes.
Our fleet has a balanced fleet composition with vessels of different capacities, ages and ownership that provide us with a significant degree of operational flexibility in our operations. We are able to swiftly deploy our vessels on different trade lanes and actively manage and control the optimal use of the vessels, depending on the respective demand and slot allocation. The flexibility could also help us cope with fast-evolving environment regulations. As of June 30, 2020, our operating fleet comprised 134 container vessels, which we owned 59 vessels and chartered 75 vessels. We are targeting to have a balanced 44-56 ratio between owned and chartered fleet. Our balanced ownership profile is also shown by the age of our chartered fleets, which stands at 11 years as of June 30, 2020. Among all of our chartered fleets, approximately 61% are in long-term chartered agreement with a duration of seven to 15 years, while the remaining are in short-term chartered agreement with a duration of less than one year.
41
Innovative eco-friendly and cost-saving initiatives and digitization that enhances our profitability and competitiveness
We are at the forefront of operating environmentally compliant vessels in line with the latest emission guidelines by IMO. To ensure our compliance with the prescribed limit, we adopted various measures to reduce the sulfur bunker used by our vessels. As of June 30, 2020, 18.9% of our fleet by TEU was installed with scrubbers. In addition, as we were the first two shipping companies to start the installation of scrubbers, we were not affected by the backlog of installation of scrubbers due to the close-down of shipyards during the COVID-19 outbreak. Unlike us, our competitors on the AsiaEurope and transpacific routes might have been late in their scrubber adoption and had to shift to a more expensive Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) system in order to comply with the new IMO 2020 regulation. We believe our high exposure to scrubbers and strict compliance with the new IMO 2020 regulation gives us a cost advantage in long-haul routes and the opportunity to further gain market share.
We have also improved our profitability with other cost reduction initiatives. For example, in order to reduce maintenance costs, we intend to dispose of inefficient and old 4,000 to 6,000 TEU vessels. We have been phasing out our old vessels over the last three years, which are down from 12 vessels to six vessels. We also share the usage of terminals in the United States, Taiwan and Panama, namely Everport Terminal Services Inc., Taipei Port Container Terminal Corporation and Colon Container Terminal S.A., respectively. Sharing terminals allows us to operate at a lower cost.
In addition, the container shipping industry has been transformed by the ongoing trend towards innovation and digitalization, and we are at the forefront of digitalization in our industry and are wellpositioned to leverage our strong capabilities to compete in this trend. We are one of the first in the container shipping industry to provide digitized services. For example, since 2018, we have introduced two new intelligent services, the intelligent i-B/L (Bill of Lading) and i-Dispatch, the solutions that deliver documents associated with export/import transactions. These new services, provided in partnership with Bolero International Ltd., a multi-bank trade finance solutions company, will lower shippers’ costs while making data transfer more accurate, efficient, reliable and secure. With access to the ShipmentLink portal, customers can benefit from the ability to achieve paperless data exchange among all parties concerned in a shipment, and it will significantly simplify supply chain linkages. Evergreen i-B/L provides digitized Bill of Lading, which is legitimately initiated, activated, maintained and delivered afterward. The registered title to i-B/L will be legitimately secured and transferred in these new services. We have developed and deployed a global information system that consolidates information from across all our operations. With backyard service data, one-stop service and other technological infrastructure, we support our shipping agencies, individual lines and various head office departments. We will continue to seek benefit of digitalization in identifying and exploiting opportunities, and to spread best practices across our operations and streamline our operations to control costs. We plan to continue our significant technology system investments to provide convenient service and new digital capabilities for our customers. We are continuing to build our WEB service data exchange system, optimizing our operational ship information system, connecting our E-Payment system with eligible banks in several regions or countries and enhancing information technology security solutions for our overseas companies.
Strong management team with multi-disciplinary experience and international background
Our key management team has been working together for over 20 years and has a proven track record of managing us through the various shipping cycles. Each of our senior management team member has extensive experience, with an average of more than 20 years of experience in the shipping industry, much of which is with us. Our management team has been a key driver of our endeavor to develop data digitization and the creation of an efficient and responsive organization. We believe our management team’s experience gives us a competitive advantage and positions us favorably for future growth and profitability.
42
Our management team’s leadership has helped us acquire and retain a loyal customer base with an average customer tenure of approximately 15 years, with no attrition of major customers. Our customer portfolio is highly diversified by both the geography and industry sectors and includes meaningful customer relationships. In 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from our top ten customers represented 6.9% and 6.8% of our total revenues and we had no customer that accounted for more than 2% of total revenues. We believe that this diverse customer base helps reduce the adverse effects of downturns in a particular region or industry. Furthermore, our management team has continuously enhanced our service through constant fleet renewal and prudent capital allocation. Hands on approach to business facilitates quick decision-making to seize business opportunities in container shipping business and minimize the time required for problem resolution in challenging market conditions. In addition, we have also earned accreditation from international media and organizations. For example, we were awarded with the Green Ship Award 2018 by The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, 2018 Blue Circle Award by Port of Vancouver and 2019 AGTC Annual Ocean Carrier Award by Agriculture Transportation Coalition.
Strategies
Enhance competitiveness by building advanced ships with scale and fuel economy
We plan to continue to expand our fleet with modern vessels that are well-suited for various trade routes and are fuel efficient and eco-friendly. As of June 30, 2020, we have a total of 61 newbuildings on order.
We believe modern, high-quality and cleaner vessels can deliver superior returns over the life of the vessel, with advantages in lower operating costs and higher utilization. As such, we have commissioned the construction of six 12,000 TEU F-type vessels in order to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of our fleet.
We plan to continue to grow our fleet primarily through high quality newbuildings from reputable shipyards in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, with a focus on modern, fuel-efficient vessels, commonly known as “eco-ships,” that combine a computerized engine management system with an aerodynamic design, including low friction paint, to improve energy efficiency. We believe such new additions to our fleet will help improve our overall operating efficiency and competitiveness of the various trade routes that we operate.
Pioneering digital capabilities to enhance connectivity and cloud shipping in order to enrich customer satisfaction
We aim to strengthen our leading digitalization capabilities and continue to lead the industry in pursuit of greater efficiency. We have developed and deployed a global information system that consolidates information from across all our operations using real-time internet-linked technologies and a common software platform. We will continue to leverage and improve our technological infrastructure to support our shipping agencies, individual lines and various head office departments. We will also seek to leverage digitalization to identify and exploit opportunities to incorporate best practices across our operations and streamline our operations to control costs. For example, we launched the “i-B/L (Bill of Lading)” and “i-Dispatch” systems to provide and facilitate paperless bill of lading transactions and alterations as well as encrypted document transfers to streamline the shipping process and efficiency of our customers. We are also a member of the Digital Container Shipping Association, an organization formed and comprised of nine major container shipping companies, to standardize container shipping protocols by working with governments and regulatory authorities to streamline international shipping processes and incorporate more efficient digitization practices. In addition, we are partnering with some of the leading international banks on our e-commerce platform to integrate business operations with digital financial services.
43
Further improve long-term growth and profitability through new routes, network optimization, strengthening customer relationships and cost improvement initiatives
We have built substantial expertise and a track record of quickly identifying and seizing upon opportunities in high growth and niche markets. We plan to continue to actively pursue opportunities on trades and in regions where opportunity for significant growth is available with scale and efficiency.
We are constantly reassessing the profitability of our network of service routes and configuring the network to meet the changing needs of our customers. We also intend to continue to reduce service overlaps to minimize related costs by optimizing our overall fleet schedule and implementing procedures to optimize our delivery network and reduce inefficiencies.
We also intend to continue to enhance the efficiency of our management of sales, operations and costs, which we believe will ultimately increase our revenue. At the same time, we will continue to build and cultivate long-term relationships with our customers through our business centers at major hubs around the world and maintain close contact with our key customers.
We will continue to deploy these cost improvement measures and fuel efficiency initiatives to maintain our leading position in the markets where we operate.
Continue to strengthen the OCEAN Alliance cooperation
As a member of the OCEAN Alliance, we believe we can benefit from various advantages, such as effectiveness of operation of our fleets and more significant exposure in long-haul routes and more resilience in responding to adverse industry changes. We may also benefit from other benefits, such as capacity optimization, joint terminal negotiation, transship cost reduction, productivity gains in ports, yard operations and inland rail operations.
We will continue to strengthen our cooperation with the members of the OCEAN Alliance and seek to expand the shipping network and product offerings under the Alliance. We will also remain attentive to opportunities to collaborate with other container shipping companies.
Proactively addressing Environmental, Social and Governance issues and being at the forefront of changes in the industry
We are committed to pollution prevention, energy conservation, and greenhouse gas reduction. As such we continue to not only comply with international environmental protection conventions and regulations but also actively seek ways to contribute to environmental sustainability. We aim to maintain strict standards and operational procedures for different aspects of environmental protection and pollution prevention and control of ships sailing at sea. We also aim to use the latest available technology to minimize the impact of container shipping operations both on marine life, on port communities and on humanity worldwide.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have built and entered into charter hire arrangements of 18 units of 12,000 TEU F-type vessels. We engaged in intensive discussions with shipyards on ship design optimization. Different hull designs were also put through hydrodynamic modeling and model basin testing when we were selecting hulls to minimize fuel consumption. We expect these new ships to be delivered between 2020 and 2022. With the delivery of these newbuilds, we will return older chartered ships upon expiry of their charter agreements to optimize our fleet structure, improve operational competitiveness and effectively reduce the environmental impact of our fleet.
Further expand business models to offer more integrated solutions and broader service offerings to our customers
We plan to expand our complementary support services and provide a more integrated and comprehensive offering of logistics solutions to our customers. We currently provide complementary services such as logistics services and inter-modal container transportation services that allow us to provide door-to-door and tailor-made transportation of cargo. We also operate port terminals in the
44
United States, Thailand and Panama through our sister companies. We believe that expanding these complementary services will enhance our position as a full-service provider, further diversify our sources of revenue and help us gain access to new customers searching for a simple and comprehensive transportation solution. By broadening and enhancing service offerings, we seek to provide a one-stop solution to satisfy our customers’ global logistics needs.

Summary of financing terms of our newbuildings
We entered into long-term loan agreements with various banks in Taiwan to finance the purchase of our 61 newbuildings. As of June 30, 2020, we had a total of NT$51 billion (US$1.7 billion) outstanding under such bank loans. These bank loans have a term of seven to 12 years and are secured by mortgage over the relevant vessel, which are customary for this type of financing arrangement on the market.
Newbuildings
We commission the construction of newbuildings primarily from leading shipyards in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, including Imabari, CSBC Corporation and Samsung Heavy Industries. We believe modern and high quality and cleaner vessels can deliver superior returns over the life of the vessel, with advantages in lower operating costs and higher utilization. As such, we have commissioned the construction of six units of 12,000 TEU F-type vessels in order to reduce fuel consumption of ships and greenhouse gas emission. We aim to continue to grow our fleet primarily through newbuildings at high quality vessels from these companies, with a focus on modern, fuel-efficient vessels commonly termed eco-ships, which combine computerized engine management system with aerodynamic design, including low friction paint, to improve energy efficiency. These new ships are expected to be delivered between 2020 and 2022. All of our existing 61 newbuildings are eco-ships.
The typical lead time between placing an order for a newbuilding and its delivery is within two years, which depends on the specifications of the newbuilding and the availability of shipyards. The table below sets forth certain information on our newbuildings as of June 30, 2020.

Our Business Model
Our core business is international container shipping, which covers ocean-going and near-sea shipping line, shipping agency business, as well as container freight station business. We earn revenue primarily from the shipment of goods. All of our service routes are running under a regular liner basis, also involving port stevedoring, inland transports, and comprehensive logistics services. Our customers cover various areas such as manufacturing, trading companies, and retailers located all over the world. We consider many pricing factors for our ocean freight rate. Such factors typically include prevailing market prices, costs associated with the given service routes and the nature of cargo being shipped, among other factors.

Transpacific Routes
As a result of our participation in the OCEAN Alliance, our transpacific service now has a total of 22 service routes, including 15 routes between the Far East and the U.S. West Coast and seven routes between the Far East and the U.S. East Coast. We deploy 42 vessels for these services. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, Trans-pacific routes accounted for approximately 884 thousand TEUs of our total shipping volume and 41% of our shipping revenue.
48
Far East-Europe/Mediterranean Routes
We currently offer 12 European routes for our Far East-Europe services under the OCEAN Alliance, including one China-Europe shuttle service route that was added in April 2019. In addition, we currently offer five Asia-Mediterranean service routes every week via slot swap arrangement under the OCEAN Alliance. We deploy 21 vessels for these services. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, our Far East-Europe/Mediterranean routes accounted for approximately 629 thousand TEUs of our total shipping volume and contributed to 22% of our shipping revenue.
Intra-Asia Routes
We currently offer a total of 82 service routes for our Intra-Asia services and deploy 92 vessels for these services. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, our Intra-Asia routes accounted for approximately 1.36 million TEUs of our total shipping volume and contributed to 25% of our shipping revenue.
Others (including Far East-Latin America/Africa Routes/Australia Routes and others)
We currently offer a total of 32 Far East-Latin America/Africa/Australia/Other service routes and deploy 47 vessels for these services. Most of these services are operated under joint service with other shipping companies such as COSCO, X-press, ONE and PIL. We also operate certain services by entering into slot swapping arrangements with shipping companies, including CMA CGM, Emirates and COSCO. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, these routes accounted for approximately 321 thousand TEUs of our total shipping volume and contributed to 12% of our shipping revenue.
Terminal and Other Related Services
We, through our subsidiaries, Everport Terminal Services Inc., PT. Multi Bina Pura International, PT. Multi Bina Transport and Kingtrans Intl. Logistics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., provide container stevedoring, inland transports, and comprehensive logistics services (collectively, “terminal services”) at terminals located in the United States, Indonesia and China.
We utilize the services of other third-party terminal operators at all of the other ports served by our vessels.
Fleet Management
Commercial management
Our senior management team consists of experienced shipping executives and our Taipei-based management team undertakes all of the commercial management of our fleet and provides these services to third parties. Commercial management of our fleet includes:
-
Identifying, purchasing, and selling vessels . We believe that we have an established reputation in the newbuilding and sales and purchase market. We believe our access to an extensive network of shipyards, ship brokers and vessel owners will provide us with an advantage in future transactions.
-
Obtaining booking for our containers . We believe that our commercial judgment on market trends and our reputation of extensive experience provide us with access to a broad range of customers and can manage our fleet efficiently under any market conditions.
-
Obtaining insurance coverage for our vessels . We have well-established relationships with reputable marine underwriters in the Norway and France insurance markets that provide our fleet with insurance coverage at competitive rates.
Technical management
As we are committed to providing our customers with the highest standards of service, we perform our technical management in-house to ensure that we achieve the highest standards and maintain the best industry practices in safety and quality management. We are qualified to perform technical management for container vessels. We are fully responsible for the maintenance and safety management of our owned fleet vessels.
49
We make every effort to prevent delays at sea or in port caused by malfunctions or breakdowns. We minimize operation costs through continuous onboard supervision of our vessels and use of the vessels’ crews for ship maintenance. We believe that our preventive maintenance practice has extended the lives of the vessels in our controlled fleet, minimized drydocking expenses and nearly eliminated downtimes and off-hire periods resulting from speed deficiencies, stoppages at sea and vessel breakdowns.
Daily operations
Our experienced managers supervise and monitor our daily operations, which include supervising the operations of our vessels, providing technical support to our vessels, arranging for ship supplies, appointing port agents and resolving incidental claims arising from vessel operations.
Our experienced staff will exercise due diligence to ensure that the vessel engine functions well, routine maintenance has been performed, qualified crew members have been recruited, proper insurance has been obtained, relevant regulations have been complied with and necessary qualifications have been obtained so that our vessels remain cargo worthy and are safe to enter into particular ports.
Repair and maintenance
We employ experienced and highly qualified staff to supervise repair and maintenance activities on our vessels. Our repair and maintenance programs can be broadly divided into three areas: shipboard maintenance, voyage and emergency maintenance and drydock maintenance. Shipboard maintenance includes the precautionary inspection of vessels and maintenance carried out by crew members during voyages. Voyage and emergency maintenance involve emergency repairs carried out by the crew and occasionally engine makers during voyages to maintain the smooth operation of the vessels. Drydock maintenance involves drydocking the vessel for a thorough inspection and repairing or replacing any components or equipment in order to satisfy the requirements of relevant classification societies. We have selected reliable ship servicing companies and have established long-term relationships with them for the provision of maintenance services to our vessels.
We conduct periodic survey for each of our vessels twice every five years for an “intermediate survey” and a “special survey,” respectively. If any defects are found, we take immediate action to repair the defects to ensure that our vessels remain in good condition and are in compliance with the classification society requirements.
We monitor the classification status of the vessels in our fleet on an ongoing basis as part of our basic ship management policy. In addition to the surveys required by the classification societies, we also periodically carry out a number of on-board surveys for each ship.
Crew training and management
We recruit most of our senior crew members from Taiwan, China and the Philippines, as we believe that senior crew members from these places have the requisite experience and qualifications to further improve the management of our ships. We typically recruit the other crew members from China, the Philippines, and occasionally Indonesia, Vietnam and Myanmar to benefit from a lower cost base.
We provide both introduction and continuous training to our crew, including training on safety, environmental protection and other emergency exercises. Potential crew recruits undergo a selection process in order for us to ensure that the crews we hire have the required skills and experience.
Arrangement of insurance coverage
The operation of any container vessel includes risks such as mechanical failure, collision, property loss, cargo loss or damage due to political circumstances in foreign countries, piracy, hostilities and labor strikes. In addition, there is always an inherent possibility of marine disasters, including oil spills and other environmental mishaps, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade. In order to effectively manage our risks, we are committed to obtaining comprehensive insurance coverage for our operations, including the following:
50
-
Hull & Machinery and War Risks Insurance. We maintain marine hull and machinery and war risks insurances, which cover the risk of actual or constructive total loss, repair, damage for all of our vessels. For example, our vessels are each covered up to at least their book value or the balance of their outstanding loan with a deductible of US$125,000 or US$125,000 per vessel per incident.
-
Protection and Indemnity Insurance . Protection and indemnity insurance is provided by mutual protection and indemnity associations, or P&I Associations, which insure our third-party liabilities in connection with our shipping activities. This includes third-party liability and other related expenses resulting from the injury, illness or death of crew, passengers and other third parties, the loss or damage to cargo, claims arising from collisions with other vessels, damage to other third-party property, pollution arising from oil or other substances and salvage, towing and other related costs, including wreck removal. Protection and indemnity insurance is a form of mutual indemnity insurance, extended by protection and indemnity mutual associations, or “clubs.” As of June 30, 2020, the limits of cover available to us were US$3.1 billion in total.
-
Container Insurance. We also maintain additional insurance policies for our containers. As of June 30, 2020, the limits of cover available to us under these policies were US$20 million in total.
Our Customers
Our customers include manufacturing, trading companies, and retailers all over the world. In 2017, 2018 and 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020, our 10 largest freight customers together accounted for approximately 6.7%, 7.9%, 6.9% and 6.8% of our revenue, respectively. In general, our larger international customers contract with us on an ocean freight collect basis. Our smaller customers, which provide a majority of our business, generally contract with us on a prepaid cargo basis.
In response to the digitization in the container shipping industry, we launched the “i-B/L (Bill of Lading)” and “i-Dispatch” systems to provide and facilitate paperless bill of landing transaction and alteration as well as encrypted document transfer to streamline customer’s shipping process and efficiency. We also partner with some of the global leading banks on our e-commerce platform to integrate business operations with digital financial services.
We believe that we distinguish ourselves from our competition by offering proven reliability, stable operation and stellar reputation. Our business model is designed to enable us to respond rapidly to our customers’ changing demands, increasing the value of our services to them as we offer them high flexibility to schedule production and distribution.
Our Sales and Marketing
We maintain an integrated marketing presence in most of our customers’ key markets throughout the world. We believe that this extensive network not only helps us to serve and maintain strong relationships with existing customers but also enables us to identify potential new customers and business opportunities. Our regional business centers are supported by our wide global agency network. We have an extensive network of business centers in major hubs business hubs around the world. Most of our overseas agents have represented us for decades and we plan to acquire direct control and ownership of a majority of the agency offices in our key markets to further enhance our competitiveness.
Our Suppliers
Our principal suppliers include bunker fuel, lubricant, motor oil providers and terminal operators. Fees payable to our suppliers are usually agreed upon by contract parties after negotiation, taking into account factors such as the market rate and the reputation of suppliers. Our main bunker fuel and lubricant suppliers include Chimbusco Pan Nation Petro-chemical Co., Ltd. and Bunker One (Singapore) Pte Ltd.
Payments to the bunker fuel, lubricant and motor oil providers are usually made within 45 days after we receive the invoices from them.
51
Competition
The container shipping market is highly competitive. The products in the container shipping market are almost homogeneous because there is very little differentiation between shipping companies based on the capacity to carry seaborne cargoes. As the ships can easily be moved to any area of the world, shipping companies may not be limited geographically and are thus competing for business on a worldwide scale. In addition, although new investors may face technical challenges in terms of management and compliance, the comprehensive network of support services within the container shipping market enables them to subcontract most business functions, which makes it easier for new investors to enter into this market. Due to this market structure, most of the shipping companies are in lack of pricing power and accept the market price.
OCEAN Alliance. In April 2017, Evergreen Line formed the OCEAN Alliance with three other major container shipping companies, namely, COSCO, CMA CGM and OOCL, which is designed to enable the members to offer comprehensive service networks covering the Asia-Europe, Asia-Mediterranean, Asia-Red Sea, Asia-Middle East, Trans-Pacific, Asia-US East Coast and Trans-Atlantic trades. The OCEAN Alliance obtained clearance from the main competition and/or shipping authorities. The OCEAN Alliance operations started on April 1, 2017. Each member of the OCEAN Alliance provides ships for the services covered by the OCEAN Alliance’s operating agreement and agrees to share capacity on its ships with the other OCEAN Alliance members. Ships are matched to routes on a “best ship for the loop” rationale, which considers a number of factors of each vessel to determine which vessel is best suited for each service. In return, each member of the OCEAN Alliance is allocated slots on vessels contributed by other OCEAN Alliance members. Together, the members operate 38 services on the East-West trades with 97 ports of call and almost 500 port pairs. Supported by a highly-efficient fleet of 330 vessels with about 3.8 million TEUs in total annual capacity, the Alliance complies with the requirements of global supply chains while providing higher sailing frequencies, better transit times and greater coverage in terms of loops, ports of call and port pairs. As the main contributor to the Alliance, Evergreen Line has the substantial share within it, deploying a fleet of 81 vessels with a 23.3% capacity share. The Alliance allows us to share slots and vessels with other members and benefit from the competitive selection of sailing schedules and direct port pairs, fast transit times, and a highly efficient fleet of vessel, which ultimately will increase our competitiveness.
In 2019, Evergreen Line extended the OCEAN Alliance agreement to ten years until 2027, expecting to derive the following main benefits from being a member of the OCEAN Alliance:
-
the service and deployment of a large and far-reaching network;
-
capacity sharing and adjustment in line with the carriers’ demand;
-
unused capacity may be sold or sub-chartered to third parties;
-
substitution of containerships for regular and ad-hoc maintenance and repair;
-
capacity adjustment during slack periods;
-
financial compensation schemes ( e.g. , for void voyages during slack periods); and joint terminal selection and negotiation where legally permissible and focus on productivity gains in ports, shore/yard operations and inland rail operations.
Cooperation Agreements. Where the economic benefits justify the capital investment, we generally prefer to contribute owned ships into vessel-sharing agreements, rather than use slot purchase or swap agreements, as we believe that lower costs can be achieved by operating our own ships compared to chartering space from other carriers. Moreover, we aim to enter into vessel-sharing agreements only where our position in the relevant market enables us to have a decisive influence on the operation of the service, such as investments in new ships and service schedules.
Logistics Activities and Inter-Modal Container Transportation Services. We respond to changing customer expectations and increasingly competitive environment in the shipping industry by providing value-added services prior to and following transoceanic shipping with the use of various transportation solutions and by offering a single-contact for communication with the customer. The product portfolio is continuously expanding ( e . g ., hub solutions) and investments are being made worldwide in logistics assets ( e . g ., dry ports). These logistics services and investments allow our customers to outsource non-core activities and concentrate on their core business. We provide these logistics and supply chain activities to complement our transportation services and to generate additional revenue for us, as well as providing additional services for our customers.
52
Employees, Crew and Shore Employees
Each of our vessels is crewed with 18 to 23 officers and seamen. Our officers and seamen are primarily Taiwanese, Filipino and Chinese. We work with ten independent crewing agencies to staff our vessels. We work with ten independent crewing agencies to staff our vessels. The crewing agencies handle each seaman’s recruitment, training, travel and payroll. We ensure that all our seamen have the qualifications and licenses required to comply with international regulations and shipping conventions.
Since our inception, we have not experienced any strikes or other disruptions of employment. We believe our relationships with our employees are good.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had 1,555 regular full-time employees on a consolidated basis. Set forth below is a breakdown of our employees by their main category of activity, for the periods indicated.

Since the inception of our Company, we adopted a pension plan under the Labor Standards Act of the ROC. Pursuant to the Labor Pension Act of the ROC, which became effective on July 1, 2005, we make a monthly contribution up to the amount of 6% of the employee’s monthly wages to each employee’s personal retirement savings accounts. We do not set aside a fund or accrue any liabilities under this retirement plan.
For some of the employees of our Company who were previously employed by other companies that adopted a pension mechanism under the Labor Standards Act of the ROC, and who chooses to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Labor Standards Act of the ROC, we maintain and fund a defined benefit retirement plan. We make a monthly contribution up to the amount of 9% or 15% of the employees’ monthly wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan. Under the Labor Standards Law, payments of pension benefits are calculated based on the employees’ average monthly salary for the six months prior to approved retirement and base point (“b.p.”) entitlement. The b.p. earned by each employee is based on 2 b.p. for the first 15 years of services and 1 b.p. from the 16th year and thereafter. As of June 30, 2020, the total amount accrued under this pension mechanism is NT$621 million (US$21.1 million).

Environmental Matters and Safety
Environmental Matters
With new IMO low Sulphur fuel regulations, we have ordered the Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (SOx scrubber) for nearly half of our fleet to save the cost for business sustainability. With our efforts, we transform our business model into a sustainable and environmental-friendly mode. We have also been certified by the American Bureau of Shipping, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai, China Corporation Register of Shipping and Maritime and Coastguard Agency, for our safety and environmental management system. We utilize such system to monitor every step of our operation that may impact the environment and identify risks to the environment. We continuously improve the environmental management skills of personnel ashore and aboard ships. We commit to fulfilling the compliance obligations of applicable national and international pollution prevention laws, regulations regarding air, water, and environment. We are currently applying for ISO14001:2015 Certification, which specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance, to bring better communication with external parties.
We have installed shore power on total 47 vessels as of June 30, 2020 to reduce gas emission at port. We also installed or retrofitted SOx Scrubber System (Exhaust Gas Cleaning System, E.G.C.S.) on nearly half of our own fleet. With using this system, our ship’s emission is not causing acid rain and deforestation. We also have installed Selective Catalytic Reactor on our new F-Type vessels aiming to reduce the emission of NOx. Currently, we are working very closely with U.S. local government and engine makers to seek possibility to transfer our NOx Tier II vessel to comply with NOx Tier III.
In addition, we have devoted ourselves to planning the whole life cycle of our vessels, from design, construction, operation and, ultimately, to decommissioning in order to make the use of ships more environmentally sustainable. We demand the buyers of our decommissioned vessels choose only the
57
“Green-Ship Recycling” shipyards certified by Hong Kong Convention, which recycle vessels after their service lives and do not pose any unnecessary risks to human health, safety and to the environment.
We have implemented internal policies to supervise the disposal of waste oil and sludge. We only arrange qualified contractors to collect the ship’s waste oil and sludge, either by truck or barge.
Health and Safety
We have implemented a safety management system under the International Safety Management Code (“ISM Code”). Regular internal and external audits are designed to ensure compliance of all our vessels and our shore based organization with the ISM Code. Our safety management system is focused on safety at sea, preventive measures to protect health and life, cargo and the environment, as well as vessels and property against safety risks, accidents and emergency situations in connection with our operations.
We have also established an occupational safety and health management department which is responsible for formulating, planning, and promoting occupational safety and health related affairs, so as to eliminate hazards and reduce occupational safety and health risks. The relevant preventive measures are as follows: (i) establish codes of practice in safety and health based on the size of the Company according to the Occupational Safety and Health Act, publish it and require employees to comply with it, (ii) conduct education and training on safety and health for new and current employees in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act, (iii) conduct education and training on fire safety for employees in accordance with the provisions of the Fire Services Act, (iv) provide and arrange regular health examinations and medical consultations for employees, and (v) establish a 24hour security force and implement round-the-clock access control for personnel to ensure the safety of Company property and personnel.
Governmental Regulations and Licenses
Our operations are subject to a variety of laws and regulations promulgated by the national and local governments of each jurisdiction in which we operate. See “Regulation.” We believe we are in compliance in all material respects with the applicable governmental regulations in each jurisdiction in which we operate. We are not aware of any governmental proceedings or investigations to which we might become a party and which may have a material adverse effect on our properties and operations. Various governmental, quasi-governmental, and regulatory agencies require the holding of certain licenses, concessions, and permits with respect to our shipping and shipping related operations. Our operations are conducted under valid licenses, concessions, permits, or certificates granted by the applicable regulatory body in that jurisdiction. We maintain regular dialog with local governments and regulatory authorities through their management teams or representatives in each jurisdiction, ensuring compliance with the requirements and conditions for obtaining and maintaining the aforementioned licenses, concessions, permits, or certificates. The key certificates which we require for operation of our vessels include:
-
Certificate of Classification;
-
International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate;
-
International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate;
-
International Sewage Pollution Prevention Certificate;
-
International Ship Security Certificate;
-
International Load Line Certificate;
-
International Tonnage Certificate;
-
Interim Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate;
-
Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate;
-
Safety Management Certificate; and
-
Maritime Labor Certificate.

Legal Proceedings and Governmental Investigations
We and our subsidiaries are involved in certain legal actions and governmental investigations relating to our business from time to time. For example, we are involved in a governmental investigation filed by the Korea Fair Trade Commission in May 2019 regarding alleged cartels in the container shipping industry. Such investigation is still at a preliminary stage as of the date of this Offering Memorandum. We were fined by the Maritime Port Bureau of ROC in July 2019 for a total of NT$300,000 for oil leakage and harbor contamination in April, 2019 relating to our vessel, UNI-Promote. We already brought an administrative proceeding against such decision by the Maritime Port Bureau of ROC and such case is still ongoing as of the date of this Offering Memorandum.
We are involved in a claim filed by Nautical Challenge Limited regarding the collision between our vessel, Ever Smart, and their vessel, Alexandra 1, which occurred in February 2015. Such case is still ongoing as of the date of this Offering Memorandum. If we cannot obtain a favorable decision from the court, we may have to pay the plaintiff of up to US$9.5 million of damage, which is expected to be under insurance coverage. The overall cost we bear in the case will be USD85,000 in insurance deductible.
We are currently involved in a subrogation claim regarding container and cargo damage caused by the Typhoon Jebi in Japan filed by Shinkong Insurance Co., Ltd. The trial court ruled in favor of us and determined that we do not have to pay for the damage of JPY35.3 million claimed by Shinkong Insurance Co., Ltd. Shinkong Insurance Co., Ltd. already filed an appeal to reverse such decision and the case is currently before the appellate court. In addition to the litigation between Shinkong Insurance Co., Ltd. and us, we also initiated an arbitration process with the relevant ship owner involved in this accident in August 2018 to assert our right against such ship owner in case the courts rule in favor of Shinkong Insurance Co., Ltd.
In addition, we have also being involved in the lawsuits regarding the collision between our vessel, Ever Birth, and Cosco England at Port Klang in Malaysia, which occurred on April 21, 2019. The relevant cases are currently at an early stage and the total claims against us amount to approximately NT$12.2 million. The overall cost we bear in the case will be USD85,000 in the insurance deductible.
Save as described above, there are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings, including such proceedings which are pending or threatened of which the Company is aware, as of June 30, 2020, which may have, or have had a significant effect on the Company’s financial position or profitability.
Public Takeover or Exchange Offers of Shares
For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020, there have not been any public takeover or exchange offers by third parties in respect of our Common Shares, and we have not made any public exchange offers in respect of other companies’ shares.
59
Regulation
International Shipping Regulations
Our ships and their operation are significantly affected by a variety of laws and regulations, being subject to various international conventions and national, supranational, state and local laws and regulations in force in the countries in which our ships may operate or are registered.
A variety of governmental, quasi-governmental and private entities, such as the local port authorities, classification societies, flag state administration and terminal operators, subject our ships to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections. We are required to obtain and maintain permits, licenses and certificates for the operation of our ships by certain of these entities. We could incur administrative or civil penalties, criminal sanctions, substantial costs and liabilities or have our maritime operations suspended or terminated if we fail to comply and obtain and maintain the necessary permits, licenses or the requisite certificates.
We believe that the heightened level of environmental and quality concerns among insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers is leading to greater inspection and safety requirements on all ships. We are required to maintain operating standards for all of our ships, which emphasize operational safety, quality maintenance, prevention of pollution, continuous training of our officers and crews and compliance with international regulations.
We believe that the operation of our ships is in substantial compliance with environmental and safety laws and regulations applicable as of the date of this Offering Memorandum. Nevertheless, because such laws and regulations are frequently changed and more stringent requirements could be imposed in the future, it is possible that these may have a certain influence on our operation.
International Maritime Organization
The International Maritime Organization (the “IMO”) is the United Nations specialized agency for maritime regulation. The IMO is responsible for creating an international regulatory framework for the shipping industry, covering the prevention of pollution by ships (including bunker spills and air pollution) and setting standards for maritime safety and security and has negotiated and adopted a number of international conventions.
The IMO continues to review existing regulations and to introduce new ones. Additional or new conventions, laws and regulations may be adopted by the IMO that could materially affect our ability to manage or operate our ships and/or increase the costs of such management or operation. It is impossible to predict what additional regulations, if any, may be passed by the IMO and what effect, if any, such regulations may have on our operations.
The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea provides that overall responsibility for the implementation and enforcement of international maritime regulations lies with the flag state. Noncompliance with the IMO regulations may subject a ship owner, operator or bareboat charterer to increased liability and, if the implementing legislation so provides, to criminal sanctions, a deduction in available insurance coverage for affected ships, invalidation of existing insurance cover or possible denial of access to or detention in some ports.
IMO Regulations Concerning Maritime Safety and Security
SOLAS Convention
The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974, as amended and including the regulations and codes of practice that form part of its regime (the “SOLAS Convention”) is widely regarded as the most important international treaty concerning the safety of merchant ships. The SOLAS Convention provides rules for the construction, equipment and operation of ships, setting minimum safety standards. Although not directly concerned with the prevention of pollution, some of the SOLAS Convention’s safety provisions are intended to prevent pollution as well as promote safety of life and preservation of property.
60
Flag states are responsible for ensuring that ships under their jurisdictions comply with these requirements and therefore generally employ classification societies, which have incorporated SOLAS requirements into their class rules, to undertake surveys to confirm compliance. The SOLAS Convention has been and continues to be regularly amended by the IMO as new and higher safety standards are introduced.
ISM Code
An amendment of the SOLAS Convention which was introduced in 1993 is the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention, as amended (the “ISM Code”). The purpose of the ISM Code is to set an international standard for the safe management and operation of ships and for pollution prevention. Ship owners, bareboat charterers and management companies are required to develop, implement and maintain an extensive Safety Management System (the “SMS”). The SMS should include a safety and environmental protection policy, preparation and response procedures for emergency situations, instructions and procedures to ensure safe operation of ships and protection of the environment in compliance with international and applicable flag state legislation.
The ISM Code requires that ship operators obtain a “Safety Management Certificate” from the government of a ship’s flag state, for each ship that they operate. The Safety Management Certificate evidences that the ship has an SMS and operates in compliance with it. No ship can obtain a Safety Management Certificate unless a document of compliance with the ISM Code has already been issued by a classification society under the authority of the relevant flag state to the ship’s manager. The document of compliance and Safety Management Certificate are renewed every five years. However, the document of compliance is subject to an audit verification each year and the Safety Management Certificate is subject to an audit verification at least every 2 and a half years.
The hull and machinery of all commercial ships must be classed by a classification society. Such classification society should be authorized by the relevant flag state and will certify that a ship is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the SOLAS Convention and the applicable rules and regulations of the relevant flag state.
ISPS Code
A further amendment of the SOLAS Convention, known as the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (the “ISPS Code”) came into force in July 2004 following the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001, which heightened awareness of the threat to ships and port facilities. The ISPS Code is a set of measures to enhance the security of ships and port facilities. Among the various requirements are:
-
(a) on-board installation of automatic information systems to enhance ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communications;
-
(b) on-board installation of ship security alert systems;
-
(c) the development of ship security plans; and
-
(d) compliance with flag state security certification requirements.
Compliance of a ship with the SOLAS Convention’s security requirements and the ISPS Code is evidenced by an International Ship Security Certificate (“ISSC”).
Load Lines Convention
The 1966 International Convention on Load Lines, as amended (the “Load Lines Convention”) created uniform rules for the limits which ships on international voyages may be loaded with. Under the Load Lines Convention, all assigned load lines must be marked amidships on each side of the ship, together with the deck line and an “International Load Line Certificate” or “International Load Line Exemption Certificate” is required to be obtained.
SAR Convention
The International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue 1979 (the “SAR Convention”) entered into force in 1985. The SAR Convention provides for an international system covering search and rescue operations.
61
STCW Convention
The IMO’s International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers 1978, as amended (the “STCW Convention”) was the first convention to establish basic requirements on training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers at the international level. The STCW Convention is supported by a code which expands on the basic requirements set out in STCW Convention, containing mandatory minimum standards of competence required for crews and recommended guidance intended to assist the implementation of the convention by the parties to it. In 2015 the IMO adopted amendments to the STCW Convention setting out mandatory minimum requirements for the training and qualifications of masters, officers, ratings and other personnel on ships which are subject to the IGF Code (see below). These amendments entered into force on January 1, 2017. Earlier amendments to the STCW Convention included guidance on the training and experience of personnel operating dynamic positioning systems.
SOLAS Convention Container Weight Verification Requirement
On July 1, 2016, the SOLAS Convention was amended when new requirements to verify the gross mass of a packed container entered into force. Whilst there has always been a requirement in the SOLAS Convention to declare the gross mass of cargo and containers, the new requirement adds an extra level requiring verification of the mass. The verification of the gross mass is required to be provided by the shipper before the packed container can be loaded onto a ship. This is to ensure that the mass declared is a true reflection of the gross mass of the packed container so that containers carried on ships are optimally stowed, thereby helping to prevent injury, cargo damage and loss of containers overboard.
Convention for Safe Containers
The Convention for Safe Containers 1972 (the “CSC Convention”) was adopted in 1972 following the rapid increase since the 1950s in the use of freight containers for the shipment of goods by sea and applies to the vast majority of freight containers used internationally. The purpose of CSC Convention is to maintain a high level of safety of human life in the transport and handling of containers by providing generally acceptable test procedures and related strength requirements and to facilitate the international transport of containers by providing uniform international safety regulations.
IMDG Code
The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (the “IMDG Code”) was adopted in 1965 as per the SOLAS Convention and was formed to prevent all types of pollutions at sea and ensure that goods transported via sea are packaged in such a way that they can be safely transported. The IMDG Code is applicable for all cargo-carrying ships around the world. The IMDG Code also sets out specific rules for container ships when they carry containers commonly known as “IMO containers” (i.e. containers carrying some types of dangerous goods that must be segregated to prevent risks due to incompatibility between cargoes) by using a series of graphs and charts to establish the rules for segregating such IMO containers.
Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing
The Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing (the “CSS Code”) was adopted in November 1991. The purpose of the CSS Code is to provide an international standard to promote the safe stowage and securing of cargoes by, amongst other things, drawing the attention of ship owners and operators to the need to ensure that the ship is suitable for its intended purpose, providing advice to ensure that the ship is equipped with proper cargo securing means and proper stowage and securing of cargoes to minimize the risks to the ship and personnel and advising on actions which may be taken in heavy sea conditions or where cargo has shifted.
62
Other IMO conventions
Other IMO conventions relating to maritime safety and security include the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972, as amended, which sets out navigation rules to be followed by ships at sea to prevent collisions between two or more ships and the Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic 1965, as amended, which aims to prevent unnecessary delays in maritime traffic.
Other Conventions Concerning Maritime Safety
MLC Convention
The International Labour Organization’s Maritime Labour Convention, as amended (the “MLC Convention”) was adopted in 2006 and came into force in 2013. The MLC Convention aims to ensure comprehensive worldwide protection of the rights of seafarers (for example working and living conditions).
IMO Regulations and Conventions Relating to the Prevention of Marine Pollution
MARPOL Convention
The primary convention dealing with the prevention of pollution is the IMO’s International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973 (as amended, including by the 1978 Protocol) (the “MARPOL Convention”). The MARPOL Convention entered into force in 1983 and has been adopted by over 150 nations. The MARPOL Convention imposes environmental standards on the shipping industry, which are set out in its Annexes I-VI, each of which regulates a different source of pollution. These relate to, among other things, the prevention of pollution by oil (Annex I), by noxious liquid substances in bulk (Annex II), by harmful substances in packaged forms within the scope of the IMDG Code (Annex III), by sewage (Annex IV), by garbage (Annex V) and by air emissions (Annex VI).
Under Annex Ito the MARPOL Convention, oil tankers of 150 gross tons and above and all ships of 400 gross tons and above must carry an approved “Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan.” Such a plan is also required to be carried on certain ships under the International Convention on Oil Pollution, Preparedness, Response and Co-operation 1990, as amended.
In 2012, the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (the “MEPC”) adopted amendments to the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Vessels Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk 2004 (the “IBC Code”). The provisions of the IBC Code are mandatory under the MARPOL Convention and the SOLAS Convention. The amendments came into force in June 2014. They relate to revised international certificates of fitness for the carriage of dangerous chemicals in bulk and identify new products that fall under the IBC Code.
Anti-fouling Convention
The IMO adopted the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships (the “Anti-fouling Convention”) in 2001, which entered into force in September 2008. The Antifouling Convention prohibits and/or restricts the use of organotin compounds in anti-fouling paints used on ships to prevent the attachment of sea-life to their hulls. Ships of over 400 gross tons which operate on international voyages must obtain an “International Anti-Fouling System Certificate” and undergo a survey before the ship can be put into service, before the Anti-fouling System Certificate is issued for the first time and whenever the antifouling systems are altered or replaced.
63
Removal of Wrecks Convention
On April 14, 2015 the Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks 2007 (the “Wrecks Convention”) entered into force. The Wrecks Convention introduced a legal regime which provides for the payment of compensation (and associated costs incurred by the affected state) for the removal of wrecks and aims to ensure that proportionate action is taken for the prompt and effective removal of wrecks. The onus is also placed on ship owners and operators to report wrecks and provide all relevant information enabling the affected state to locate the wreck, determine whether the wreck poses a hazard and mark the wreck (should the affected state determine that the wreck constitutes a hazard). Subject to limited exceptions such as act of war or governmental negligence, the Wrecks Convention provides that the registered owner shall be liable for locating, marking and removing the wreck.
Ballast Water Management Convention
In 2004 the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (the “Ballast Water Management Convention”) was adopted by the IMO and came into force on September 8, 2017. MEPC has decided that new vessels constructed after September 8, 2017 must comply with the Ballast Water Management Convention from delivery and existing ships must meet at least the D-1 (ballast water exchange) standard by September 8, 2017. However, full compliance with the D-2 (discharge) standard for existing ships will be phased in overtime for such ships and the date for compliance will depend on when and whether the ship undergoes the renewal for its International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate and whether an earlier date for compliance is determined by its flag state, but such date shall be no later than September 8, 2024. The Ballast Water Management Convention aims to prevent the spread of harmful aquatic organisms from one region to another, by establishing standards and procedures for the management and control of ships’ ballast water and sediment. Ships in international traffic will be required to conduct ballast water and sediment management in accordance with the standards set out in the Ballast Water Management Convention, which include performance of ballast water exchange in accordance with the requirements set out in the relevant regulation and the gradual phasing in of a ballast water performance standard which requires ballast water treatment and the installation of ballast water treatment systems on board the ships. Under the Ballast Water Management Convention, ships are required to implement a ship-specific “Ballast Water and Sediments Management Plan” and to carry a “Ballast Water Record Book” and an “International Ballast Water Management Certificate.”
Recycling Convention
In 2009 the IMO adopted the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (the “Recycling Convention”), which covers issues relating to ship recycling and aims to address occupational health and safety and environmental risks relating to ship recycling. The Recycling Convention, amongst other things, prohibits and/or restricts the installation or use of hazardous materials on ships and requires ships to have on board an inventory of hazardous materials specific to each ship.
The Recycling Convention is not yet in force. It will enter into force 24 months after it has been ratified by 15 states with a combined gross tonnage of 40% of the world’s gross tonnage and who have a combined maximum annual recycling volume which is not less than 3% of their combined tonnage.
Other IMO conventions
Other IMO conventions relating to the prevention of marine pollution include the International Convention Relating to Intervention on the High Seas in Cases of Oil Pollution Casualties 1969, which affirms a coastal state’s right to take such measures as may be necessary to prevent, mitigate or eliminate danger to its coastline from oil pollution or following a maritime casualty and the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter 1972 (as amended, including by the 1996 Protocol) which restricts dumping of waste at sea (subject to permitted exceptions which require a permit).

Liability and Compensation
CLC Convention
Many countries have ratified and follow the liability scheme adopted by the IMO and set out in the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage 1969 (either in its original form or as amended by the 1992 Protocol to it) (the “CLC Convention”). Under the CLC Convention, a ship’s registered owner is strictly liable (subject to certain defenses and subject to the right to limit liability) for pollution damage caused in the territorial waters or, under the 1992 Protocol, in the exclusive economic zone or equivalent area, of a contracting state by discharge of persistent oil (for example, crude oil, fuel oil, heavy diesel oil or lubricating oil). The CLC Convention is supplemented by the International Convention for the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage of 1971, as amended (the “Fund Convention”), the purpose of which was the creation of a supplementary compensation fund (the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund, or “IOPC Fund”) which provides additional compensation to victims of a pollution incident who are unable to obtain adequate or any compensation under the CLC Convention.
The countries that have ratified the CLC Convention as amended by the 1992 Protocol have increased the liability limits provided therein (such increased liability limits are set out in the 2000 amendments to the 1992 Protocol). The liability limits under the CLC Convention are based on the use of the International Monetary Fund currency unit of “Special Drawing Rights” (the “SDRs”), which varies according to a basket of currencies. At December 30, 2019, the exchange rate was 1 SDR = US$1.3828.
HNS Convention
The International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea 1996, as superseded by the 2010 Protocol (the “HNS Convention”), sets out a liability regime for loss or damage caused by hazardous or noxious substances carried on board a ship. These substances are listed in the convention itself or defined by reference to lists of substances included in various IMO conventions and codes.
The HNS Convention imposes strict liability (subject to certain defenses) on the registered owner of ships and covers loss or damage by contamination to the environment, costs of preventative measures and further damage caused by such measures, loss or damage to property outside a ship and loss of life or personal injury caused by such substances on board or outside a ship. It also provides for the owner’s right to limit its liability and requires compulsory insurance to be in place. If it is proved that the damage resulted from the owner’s personal act or omission, committed with the intent to cause such damage, or recklessly and with knowledge that such damage would probably result, the owner’s right to limit its liability is lost. The HNS Convention is not yet in force.
Bunker Spills Convention
The International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage 2001 (the “Bunker Spills Convention”) came into force in November 2008. The Bunker Spills Convention covers liability and compensation for pollution damage caused by discharges of bunker oil and aims to ensure adequate, prompt and effective compensation for persons who suffer damage as a result. Under the Bunker Spills Convention, strict liability is, subject to certain defenses, imposed on the ship owner, which extends to include the registered owner, bareboat charterer, manager and operator of the ship.
Ships of greater than 1,000 gross tons are required under the Bunker Spills Convention to maintain insurance or other financial security, such as a bank guarantee, in an amount equal to the limits of liability under the applicable national or international limitation regime (but not exceeding the amount calculated in accordance with the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims 1976 (as amended, including by the 1996 Protocol to it).
In other jurisdictions which have not ratified the Bunker Spills Convention, liability for spills or releases of oil from ships’ bunkers continues to be determined by the national or other domestic laws in the jurisdiction where the events or damages occur.

Other Environmental Regulations and Initiatives
Climate change regulations
In February 2005 the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (the “UNFCCC”) came into force. Under the Kyoto Protocol, national programs to reduce emissions of certain greenhouse gases which are suspected of contributing to global warming are required to be implemented by adopting countries. In December 2009 more than 27 nations also entered into the Copenhagen Accord, which although non-binding, is intended to pave the way for a comprehensive, international treaty on climate change. Currently the greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping do not come under the ambit of the Kyoto Protocol, but the Kyoto Protocol does direct Annex I countries to pursue limitation and reduction measures through the IMO.
More recently in 2016, the Paris Agreement (which was adopted in 2015 by a large number of countries which are parties to the UNFCCC) entered into force. The Paris Agreement is the first legally binding agreement to set out a commitment to limit greenhouse gas emissions, with the aim of limiting global temperature increases to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit temperature increase even further to 1.5°C. Again, greenhouse gas emissions from global shipping fall outside the ambit of the Paris Agreement, but it is expected that the adoption of the Paris Agreement may lead to regulatory changes in relation to curbing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping.
In April 2018, the IMO announced that the MEPC had adopted an initial strategy on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships, which such initial strategy is due to be revised by 2023. The deal envisages a reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions from ships by at least 50% by 2050, compared to 2008 levels, whilst concurrently pursuing efforts towards phasing them out entirely as soon as possible. The initial strategy also includes a specific reference to “a pathway of carbon dioxide (“CO2”) emissions reduction consistent with the Paris Agreement temperature goals” and represents a framework for IMO member states, which sets out the future vision for international shipping, the levels of ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, guiding principles and possible timelines and their impacts on its member states.
MARPOL’s Annex VI (“Annex VI”) contains regulations for the prevention of air pollution from ships. It came into force in May 2005. Annex VI prescribes limits on sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter emissions from ship exhausts and prohibits “deliberate emissions” of “ozone-depleting substances” such as chlorofluorocarbons and halons. “Deliberate emissions” are not limited to when a ship is at sea and can include, for example, discharges which occur in the course of a ship’s maintenance and repair. Shipboard incineration of specific substances, is also regulated by Annex VI. Annex VI includes a global cap on the sulfur content in bunker fuel (currently 3.5% outside ECAs (as defined below) and 0.1% within ECAs). The IMO announced on October 27, 2016 that the global sulfur cap on marine fuels is to be reduced to 0.5% with effect from January 1, 2020. The new global cap will not affect the 0.1% sulfur emission cap already in place in the ECAs. In 2018 the IMO further agreed that after 2020, the carriage of non-compliant fuel for combustion purposes for propulsion or operation on board a ship, would be prohibited, unless a ship is fitted with an equivalent arrangement to meet the 0.5% sulfur limit, such as a scrubber. Annex VI provides for the creation of special areas with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions, known as Emission Control Areas (“ECAs”). ECAs which have already been established include the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, including the English Channel, the North American area and the U.S. Caribbean Sea area but additional geographical areas may be designated as ECAs in the future. China also established emission control areas in the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Bay rim area with restrictions, applicable from January 1, 2016, in the maximum sulfur content of the fuel to be used by ships within those areas, which restrictions are to become progressively stricter overtime.
Annex VI also provides for progressive reductions in nitrogen oxide (“NOx”) emissions from marine diesel engines of over 130 kW output power (other than those used solely for emergency purposes) installed in ships. These reductions are to occur in three tiers. The final tier (“Tier III”) is to apply to engines installed on ships constructed on or after January 1, 2016 and which operate in the North American ECA or the U.S. Caribbean Sea ECA. In October 2016 the MEPC approved the designation of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea as ECAs for NOx emissions. These two new NOx ECAs are expected to enter into effect on January 1, 2021.
66
Annex VI of MARPOL was amended in July 2011, by the adoption by the IMO of regulations imposing mandatory technical and operational measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These regulations became effective in January 2013 and the new technical and operational measures imposed by them include the “Energy Efficiency Design Index” (mandatory for all newbuild ships) and the “Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan” (mandatory for all ships). Under these amendments, by 2025, all new ships built will be 30% more energy-efficient than those built in 2014. In October 2016 the IMO adopted updated guidelines for the calculation of the Energy Efficiency Design Index. The IMO has been examining other mandatory measures for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from shipping. These may include market-based instruments or a carbon tax. On March 1, 2018, amendments to Chapter 4 of Annex VI of MARPOL entered into force. These amendments added new regulations for the mandatory collection and reporting of ship fuel oil consumption data. Ships of 5,000 gross tons and above (which account for approximately 85% of CO2 emissions from international shipping) will now need to collect consumption data for each type of fuel that they use and other data and report the aggregated data so collected to their flag state at the end of each calendar year, with the first reporting period being for the 2019 calendar year. Once the relevant flag state has determined that the data has been reported in accordance with the requirements, the flag state will issue a statement of compliance to the ship and will be required to subsequently transfer this data to an IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database. The IMO will produce an annual report to the MEPC, summarizing the data collected. The data collection system is intended to provide the IMO with concrete data on fuel consumption which in turn should assist IMO member states in making decisions about any further measures required to address greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping and enhance energy efficiency.
MARPOL has been and will continue to be regularly amended and supplemented as new and higher standards of pollution prevention are introduced. It is therefore possible that in order to comply with these regulations, emission control systems may need to be installed in the future.
The IMO and individual countries, as well as the European Union (the “EU”) may impose additional requirements on the emission of greenhouse gases from international shipping in the future. See “-European Union Regulations.” Any new climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives by the IMO, the EU or other countries of states where we operate that restrict greenhouse gas emissions could have impact on our business through increased compliance costs or additional operational restrictions that we cannot predict with certainty at this time.
United States Regulations
OPA
The United States Oil Pollution Act 1990 (the “OPA”) establishes an extensive regulatory and liability regime for the protection and clean-up of the environment from oil spills. The OPA affects all owners, bareboat charterers and operators whose ships trade in the U.S., its territories and possessions or whose ships operate in U.S. waters (which includes the U.S. territorial sea and its 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone) and applies to discharges of any oil from a ship, including discharges of fuel and lubricants. The OPA does not solely apply to oil tankers, but also to non-tanker ships that carry fuel oil, or bunkers, to power such ships.
Under the OPA, ship owners, operators and bareboat charterers are “responsible parties” and are jointly, severally and strictly liable (unless the spill results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war and the responsible party reports the incident and reasonably cooperates with the appropriate authorities) for all containment and clean-up costs and other damages arising from discharges or threatened discharges of oil from their ships within the 200-mile exclusive economic zone around the U.S. These other damages are defined broadly to include:
-
(a) natural resource damages and related assessment costs;
-
(b) real and personal property damages;
-
(c) net loss of taxes, royalties, rents, profits or earnings capacity;
-
(d) net cost of public services necessitated by a spill response, such as protection from fire, safety or health hazards; and
-
(e) loss of subsistence use of natural resources.
67
Owners and operators of all ships over 300 gross tons must also establish and maintain with the U.S. Coast Guard evidence of financial responsibility (such as insurance or surety bond) sufficient to meet the limit of their potential liabilities under the OPA. Under the OPA regulations, an owner or operator of more than one ship is required to demonstrate evidence of financial responsibility for the entire fleet in an amount equal only to the financial responsibility requirement of the ship having the greatest maximum strict liability under the OPA. An owner or operator can satisfy their financial responsibility obligations by providing a surety bond, guarantee or proof of insurance.
CERCLA
The U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (the “CERCLA”), which applies to owners, bareboat charterers and operators of ships in respect of the discharge of hazardous substances (other than oil except in limited circumstances) whether on land or at sea, contains a similar liability regime and provides for clean-up, removal and natural resource damages.
The OPA and CERCLA do not prohibit individual states from imposing their own liability regimes with regard to oil pollution incidents occurring within their boundaries, provided they accept, at a minimum, the levels of liability established under the OPA and CERCLA. Some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited strict liability for oil spills. We intend to comply with all applicable regulations in the ports where our ships call.
MTSA
On November 25, 2002, the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (the “MTSA”) came into effect in the U.S. To implement certain portions of the MTSA, in July 2003, the U.S. Coast Guard issued regulations requiring the implementation of certain security requirements aboard ships operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. U.S. Coast Guard regulations, intended to align with international maritime security standards, exempt non-U.S. ships from the MTSA ship security measures provided such ships have on board a valid ISSC that attests to the ship’s compliance with the SOLAS Convention’s security requirements and the ISPS Code.
Clean Water Act
The U.S. Clean Water Act 1972 (the “Clean Water Act”) prohibits the discharge of oil or hazardous substances in U.S. navigable water, imposing strict liability. Substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages are imposed which complement the remedies which are available under the OPA and CERCLA. Under the Clean Water Act, ships trading within U.S. waters must also obtain a “Vessel General Permit” and comply with a range of effluent limitations, best management practices, reporting, inspections and other requirements.
NISA
In 1996 the U.S. National Invasive Species Act (the “NISA”), which established a ballast water management program for ships entering U.S. waters, was established. Mid-ocean ballast water exchange is voluntary (subject to a few exceptions), however any ship bound for any port in the U.S. is required to comply with NISA’s reporting and record-keeping requirements.
European Union Regulations
The EU has been a driving force behind a number of amendments to the MARPOL Convention (particularly following an incident in 1999 where MT Erica broke in two off the coast of France whilst carrying heavy fuel oil) and has been prepared to legislate on a unilateral basis if dissatisfied either with the extent of amendments or with the timetable for introduction of amendments. In some instances where the EU has done so, international regulations have been subsequently amended to the same level of stringency as has been introduced in the EU. Conversely, the EU may adopt more stringent measures with respect to certain aspects than those adopted by the IMO.
Council Directive 1999/32/EC (as amended, most recently by Directive 2012/33/EU), requires that as from January 1, 2015, ships burn fuel with a sulfur content not exceeding 0.1% (the legislation does permit higher sulfur contents, but only if the appropriate exhaust cleaning systems are in place) while
68
within EU member states’ territorial seas, exclusive economic zones and pollution control zones falling within sulfur oxide Emission Control Areas (“SECAs”), such as the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, including the English Channel. Further sea areas may be designated as SECAs in the future.
In 2005, the EU adopted Council Directive 2005/35/EC on ship-source pollution, as amended, which imposes criminal liability for discharges of oil and other noxious substances from ships (regardless of their flag) sailing in its water, which are caused by intent, recklessness or serious negligence.
By Directive 2009/15/EC, as amended, the EU established measures to be followed by its member states for the exercise of authority and control over classification societies, including the ability to seek to suspend or revoke the authority of classification societies that are negligent in their duties.
Under Directive 2009/16/EC on Port State Control, as amended, EU member states are required to refuse access to their ports to certain sub-standard ships according to various factors (including the ship’s condition, flag and number of previous detentions within certain preceding periods). This Directive also provides for EU member port states to inspect minimum percentages of ships using their ports annually and provides for increased surveillance of ships which pose a high risk to maritime safety or the marine environment. The state is required to detain the ship or stop loading or unloading until deficiencies are addressed if any deficiencies are found that are clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment. Member states are also required to implement their own separate systems of proportionate penalties for breaches of these standards.
Commission Regulation (EU) No 802/2010 introduced a ranking system in relation to the safety records of shipping companies operating in the EU (based on the results of the technical inspections carried out on ships owned by a particular shipping company), which is published on a public website and updated daily. Shipping companies that have the most positive safety records are subjected to fewer inspections, whilst those with the worst safety records or technical failings recorded upon inspection are subjected to a greater frequency of official inspections of their ships.
The EU has also adopted Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 which lays down requirements for the recycling of ships in an environmentally sound manner and control and management of hazardous materials on ships, including the prohibition or restriction of the installation or use of certain hazardous materials on ships. The Regulation aims at facilitating the early ratification of the Recycling Convention which has not yet entered into force internationally (see above). It applies to ships flying the flag of a member state and certain provisions apply to ships calling at a port or anchorage of a member state flying the flag of a non-member state country. The Regulation will apply not later than December 31, 2018, although certain of its provisions are to apply at different stages, with some of them being applicable from December 31, 2020. Pursuant to this Regulation, the EU Commission has recently published the first version of a European List of approved ship recycling facilities meeting the requirements of the Regulation, as well as four further implementing decisions dealing with certification and other administrative requirements set out in the Regulation.
In 2015, the EU adopted Regulation (EU) 2015/757 (as amended by Delegated Regulation 2016/2071) on the monitoring, reporting and verification of CO2 emissions from ships (“the MRV Regulation”), which was published in the Official Journal on May 19, 2015 and which entered into force on July 1, 2015. The MRV Regulation applies to all ships over 5,000 gross tonnage calling at EU member states’ and the European Free Trade Association, which includes Norway and Iceland (collectively, the “EEA”) ports (except for a few types, such as warships and fish catching or processing ships), irrespective of flag or port of registry. Such ships will be required to monitor their CO2 emissions and other relevant information emitted on journeys to, from and between EEA ports of call, and also when in EEA ports of call. The first reporting period commenced on January 1, 2018 and will reoccur annually from January 1 to December 31. The monitoring, reporting and verification system adopted by the MRV Regulation may be the precursor to a market-based mechanism to be adopted in the future. In fact, the EU is currently considering a proposal for the inclusion of shipping in the EU Emissions Trading System as from 2021 in the absence of a comparable system operating under the IMO.

Description of Our Share Capital
Set forth below is certain information relating to our capital stock, including brief summaries of certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, the Securities and Exchange Act of the ROC, or the ROC Securities and Exchange Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Company Act of the ROC, or the ROC Company Act.
General
As of the date of this Offering Memorandum, our authorized share capital registered with the MOEA is NT$70,000,000,000, and our paid-in share capital is NT$48,129,737,860, divided into 4,812,973,786 Shares with a par value of NT$10 per share. Any change in the authorized share capital of a public company limited by shares, such as us, requires an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (which requires approval at a shareholders’ meeting). Authorized but unissued shares may also be issued at such times and, subject to the provisions of the applicable laws and the approval of, or registration with, the MOEA and the FSC, upon terms that our board of directors may determine. Except as disclosed in this Offering Memorandum, we do not as of the date of this Offering Memorandum have any equity in any other form such as preference shares, preferential subscription rights, exchangeable debt securities or warrants other than the Shares.
All issued and outstanding Shares are fully paid and in registered form.
Pre-Emptive Rights and Issue of New Shares
The ROC Company Act provides that between 10% to 15% of any newly-issued shares must be offered first to the issuing company’s employees except in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the ROC Securities and Exchange Law and the relevant securities regulations require that if a public company listed on the TWSE or whose shares are traded on the Taipei Exchange, formerly known as GreTai Securities Market, intends to offer new Shares for cash, at least 10% of the issue must be offered to the public, except under certain circumstances or when exempted by the FSC. This percentage can be increased by a resolution passed at a shareholders’ meeting, which will reduce the number of new shares to which existing shareholders may have pre-emptive right. Unless the percentage of the shares offered to the public is increased by a resolution, our existing shareholders have a pre-emptive right to acquire the remaining 75% to 80% of the issue in proportion to their existing shareholdings. The shares not subscribed for by the employees or the shareholders at the expiration of the period for the exercise of their rights, may be freely offered by the Company (subject to ROC law) to the general public by means of a public offering or to specified persons at the direction of our board of directors.
Transfer of Shares
Shares (in registered form) are transferred by endorsement and delivery of the related share certificates. However, settlement of trading of share of a listed company, such as our company, is generally carried out on the book-entry system maintained by the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation, or TDCC. Transferees must have their names and addresses registered on our shareholder’s register in order to assert shareholder’s rights against us. Shareholders are required to register their respective specimen seals or chops with our share registrar.
Shareholders’ Meetings
Our annual ordinary shareholders’ meetings are usually held in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, or an alternative location within the ROC as determined by our board of directors, within six months following the end of our fiscal year. Notice in writing of our annual ordinary shareholders’ meetings stating the place, time and agenda thereof must be dispatched to each shareholder at least 30 days prior to the date set for the meeting. Special meetings of our shareholders may be convened by resolution of our board of directors, or by our shareholders under certain circumstances. Special meetings of our shareholders may be convened on the written requisition of any shareholder or
80
shareholders entitled to attend and vote at general meetings holding at least 3% of the total number of issued Shares for a period of one year or a longer time to the board of directors or the competent authority. Any one or more shareholder(s) may summon a special meeting of shareholders, provided that such shareholder(s) shall hold more than 50% of the total issued Shares for a continuous period of no less than three months. Special meetings of our shareholders may also be convened by any of our independent directors when the board of directors does not or cannot convene a shareholders’ meeting and/or such a meeting is necessary for the benefit of the shareholders.
Notice in writing of such special meetings stating the place, time and agenda thereof must be dispatched to each shareholder at least 15 days prior to the date set for the meeting. Notice of the shareholders’ meetings shall also be published on the MOPS in accordance with the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation Regulations Governing Information Reporting by Listed Companies.
Voting Rights
Each Share is entitled to one vote. Except as otherwise provided by ROC law, a resolution may be adopted by the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding Shares represented at a shareholders’ meeting at which a majority of the holders of our issued and outstanding Shares are present. Notwithstanding the above, in order to approve certain major corporate actions, including (a) any amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (which is required in respect of, inter alia, any increase in authorized share capital and any changes in the rights of different classes of shares), (b) entering into, modification or termination of any contract regarding leasing all our business, outsourcing our operations or forming joint operations with others, (c) our dissolution, amalgamation or spin-off, the transfer of all or a material part of our business or our property, (d) the taking over of the whole of the business or property of any other entity which would have a significant impact on our operations, and (e) the distribution of any stock dividend, a resolution has to be approved by the holders of at least a majority of our Shares represented at a meeting of shareholders with a quorum of holders of at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding Shares.
Our shareholders may be represented at an ordinary or a special shareholders’ meeting by proxy if a valid proxy form is delivered to us at least five days before the date fixed for the ordinary or special shareholders’ meeting. Voting rights attached to our Shares exercised by our shareholders’ proxies are subject to the proxy regulations promulgated by the FSC.
Any shareholder who has a personal interest in a matter to be discussed at our shareholders’ meeting, the outcome of which may impair our interests, shall not vote or exercise voting rights on behalf of another shareholder on such matter.
Registration of Shareholders
Our register of shareholders is maintained by the database of the TDCC. For the purpose of determining certain rights, including right to dividends attached to the Shares, the ROC Company Act provides that the register of shareholders be closed for a period of 60 days, 30 days and five days immediately before the date of each ordinary shareholders’ meeting, each special shareholders’ meeting and the record date for dividend distribution, respectively.
Annual Financial Statements
Under the ROC Company Act, ten days before our ordinary shareholders’ meeting, the statements and records of accounts prepared by the board of directors and the report made by the audit committee must be made available at our registered office in Taipei City for inspection by our shareholders. According to the regulations of the FSC, we are required to publish our annual and quarterly financial statements on a consolidated basis.
81
Dividends and Distributions
Except under limited circumstances as permitted by the ROC Company Act, a ROC company is not permitted to distribute dividends or make any other distributions to shareholders for any year in which the company does not have current or retained earnings (excluding reserves). In addition, before distributing a dividend or making any other distribution to shareholders, a company must pay all outstanding taxes, recover any past losses, and set aside a reserve, referred to as the “Legal Reserve,” at 10% of its earnings until such time as its accumulated Legal Reserve equals the amount of its total paid-up capital. In addition, a company may set aside a special reserve in accordance with its articles of incorporation or resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting. Subject to compliance with these requirements, a company may pay dividends from its earnings or make other distributions from its reserves as set forth below.
In addition to permitting dividends to be paid out of current or retained earnings, the ROC Company Act also permits a company to make distributions to its shareholders in the form of additional shares of capital stock from recapitalization of reserves (including the Legal Reserve and the capital surplus of premium from issuing stocks and earnings from gifts received, referred to as the “Capital Reserve”). In the case of a company’s Capital Reserve, subject to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law and applicable FSC regulations, 100% of the Capital Reserves may be recapitalized through stock distributions to shareholders. In the case of a company’s Legal Reserve, however, the recapitalized portion payable out of such Legal Reserve can only be effected when the accumulated Legal Reserve exceeds 25% of the paid-in capital of the company.
Under the ROC Company Act, following approval at the shareholders’ meeting, dividends are paid to shareholders from a company’s current or retained earnings, Legal Reserves or Capital Reserve (subject to compliance with the above requirements), in proportion to the number of shares owned by each shareholder as listed on the register of shareholders as of the relevant record date. Dividends declared out of earnings may also be distributed either in cash or in the form of common stock or a combination thereof. Stock dividends are delivered to the persons whose names are recorded as shareholders in the shareholders’ register at the relevant record date. Notices of such persons’ entitlements to stock dividends are delivered by post notifying them of the place and date to collect the relevant share certificates or requesting them to designate an account under their names to which such stock dividends will be delivered. In respect of cash dividends, the company will notify the shareholders and make the payments in check or wire transfer to such accounts as may be designated by the shareholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that, in principle, our net income, less prior years’ losses, outstanding taxes, the legal reserve and any special reserve may be distributed as dividends to shareholders upon proposal of the board of directors and approval of shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting. We may distribute dividends in way of cash or shares, provided that the cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of the total amount of dividends distributed to shareholders in that year. The ratio between cash dividend and stock dividend shall be proposed by our board of directors and then be approved by our shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting. In addition, pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, prior to distributing any dividends to our shareholders, we were required to first distribute (i) not less than 0.5% of the distributable earnings to employees as compensation and (ii) not more than 2% of the distributable earnings to directors as compensation. The employees’ compensation may, subject to a resolution of the board of directors, be distributed to employees in way of cash or shares and the directors’ compensation should be distributed in way of cash.
No dividend or distribution shall bear interest against the Company. Upon the date of declaration, we typically remit dividends into a special bank account, and the bank agency will transfer dividends to each shareholder’s designated account. In limited cases, we also distribute dividends with nonnegotiable notes by registered mails. If a shareholder fails to provide the correct bank account or address for the wire transfer or registered mail and thus is unable to receive dividends, such dividends will remain as a debt due to the shareholder. Any dividend which remains unclaimed after five years from the date of declaration shall be forfeited and returned to us.
For information on the dividends paid by us in recent years, see “Dividends and Dividend Policy.” For information as to ROC taxes on dividends and distributions, see “Taxation – ROC Taxation.”

Acquisition of Our Shares by Us
With minor exceptions, we cannot acquire our own Shares under the ROC Company Act. However, under the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, we may by a board resolution adopted by majority consent at a meeting with two-thirds of our directors present, purchase up to 10% of our issued and outstanding Shares on the TWSE or by a tender offer, in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the FSC, for the following purposes:
-
(i) to transfer Shares to our employees;
-
(ii) to convert bonds with warrants, preferred shares with warrants, convertible bonds, convertible preferred shares or certificates of warrants issued by us into the Shares; and
-
(iii) if necessary, to maintain our credit and our shareholders’ equity provided that the Shares so purchased shall be cancelled thereafter.
Share purchased by us pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be transferred to the intended transferees within five years after the purchase date; otherwise, such Shares shall be cancelled. Shares purchased by us pursuant to (iii) above must be canceled and we are required to complete an amendment registration for such cancelation within six months after the purchase date.
In addition, we may not spend more than the aggregate amount of the retained earnings, the premium from issuing Shares and the realized portion of the Capital Reserve to purchase our Shares.
We may not pledge or hypothecate any purchased Shares. In addition, we may not exercise any shareholders’ rights attached to such Shares. In the event that we purchase our Shares on the TWSE, our affiliates, directors, managers, shareholder holding more than 10% of the Shares and their respective spouses and minor children and/or nominees are prohibited from selling any of our Shares during the period in which we purchase our Shares.
Substantial Shareholders and Transfer Restrictions
Under the ROC Securities and Exchange Act, our directors, managers and shareholders (together with their spouses, minor children and nominees) holding more than 10% of the Shares are required to report to us, on a monthly basis, any changes in their shareholding in the Company. Unless under limited circumstances, the number of Shares that they may sell or transfer on the TWSE on any trading day is limited by ROC laws. In addition, they may only sell or transfer such Shares on the TWSE at least three days after they have filed a notification with the FSC in connection with such sale or transfer, provided that such notification is not required if the number of Shares to be sold or transferred within one trading day does not exceed 10,000.
Liquidation Rights
Pursuant to the ROC Company Act, in the event of our liquidation, the assets remaining after payment of all debts, liquidation expenses, taxes and distributions to holders of preferred shares, if any, will be distributed pro rata to our shareholders.
Other Rights of Shareholders
Under the ROC Company Act and the ROC Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act, dissenting shareholders are entitled to appraisal rights in the event of a spin-off or a merger and various other major corporate actions. Dissenting shareholders may request us to redeem all their shares at a fair price to be determined by mutual agreement. If no agreement can be reached, the valuation will be determined by a court. Subject to applicable law, dissenting shareholders may, among other things, exercise their appraisal rights by notifying us before the related shareholders’ meeting and/or by raising and registering their dissent at the shareholders’ meeting.
83
The ROC Company Act allows shareholders holding 1% or more of the total issued shares of a company to submit, during the period of time prescribed by the company, one proposal in writing for discussion at the ordinary meeting of shareholders. The ROC Company Act also provides that a company may adopt a nomination procedure for election of directors. If a company wishes to adopt the nomination procedure, it must be stipulated in its articles of incorporation. With such provision in the articles of incorporation of a company, shareholders representing 1% or more of the total issued shares of such company may submit a candidate list along with relevant information to the company within the period prescribed by the company. Our Articles of Incorporation currently offer such nomination procedure.

If more than one Bond shall be deposited for conversion at any one time by the same holder of the Bonds, the number of Shares to be issued upon

(v) Revival on Default
Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 6(A)(i), if the Company defaults in making payment in full in respect of any Bond that has been called for redemption prior to the Maturity Date on the date fixed for redemption thereof, the Conversion Right attaching to such Bond will continue to be exercisable up to, and including, the close of business (at the place where the Certificated Bond evidencing such Bond is deposited for conversion) on the date upon which the full amount of the monies payable in respect of such Bond has been duly received by the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent and notice of such receipt has been duly given to the Bondholders.

A Conversion Notice once deposited may not be withdrawn without the consent in writing of the Company. Bondholders who deposit a Conversion Notice during a Closed Period will not be permitted to convert their Bonds until the business day following the last day of that Closed Period which (if all other conditions to conversion have been fulfilled) will be deemed as the Conversion Date (as defined below) for such Bonds. A converting Bondholder shall retain the rights of a Bondholder with respect to the Bonds until the Conversion Date. The price at which such Bonds will be converted will be the Conversion Price then in effect on the Conversion Date.
No Shares or beneficial interests therein will be delivered to a converting Bondholder unless such Holder satisfies the foregoing conditions. If such Bondholder is unable or otherwise fails to satisfy the foregoing conditions, such Bondholder may transfer its Bond or beneficial interest therein subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Agency Agreement. See “Transfer restrictions.”
89
(ii) Taxes and Expenses; Deposit Date and Conversion Date
As conditions precedent to conversion, a Bondholder must pay directly to the relevant tax authorities all stamp, issue, registration and similar taxes and duties (if any) arising on conversion in the jurisdiction in which the Bond is deposited for conversion, or payable in any jurisdiction consequent upon the issuance of Shares or payment of any other property or cash upon conversion of the Bonds to, or to the order of a person other than, the converting Bondholder. Except as aforesaid, the Company will pay the expenses arising in the ROC on the issue of Shares on conversion of Bonds and all charges of the Conversion Agents in connection therewith as provided in the Agency Agreement.
The date on which any Bond and the Conversion Notice (in duplicate) relating thereto are deposited with a Conversion Agent and the payments, if any, required to be paid by the Bondholder are made is hereinafter referred to as the “ Deposit Date .” The “ Conversion Date ” applicable to a Bond means the day next following the Deposit Date, which day both is a Trading Day (as hereinafter defined in Condition 6(C)) and falls during the Conversion Period.
(iii) Holders of Record
With effect from the opening of business in the ROC on the Conversion Date, the Company will deem the person designated in the Conversion Notice to have become the holder of record of the number of Shares to be delivered upon such conversion (disregarding any retroactive adjustment of the Conversion Price referred to below prior to the time such retroactive adjustment shall have become effective) and at such time, subject to Condition 6(B)(iv) – Delivery of Shares, the rights of such converting Bondholder as a Bondholder with respect to the Bonds deposited for conversion shall cease (except rights arising under Condition 6(B)(v) – Retroactive Adjustment of Conversion Price).
(iv) Delivery of Shares
On the Conversion Date, the Company shall register the converting Holder (or its designee) in the Company’s register of shareholders as the owner of the number of Shares to be issued upon conversion of such Bonds and, subject to any applicable limitations then imposed by ROC laws and regulations, according to the request made in the relevant Conversion Notice, procure that, as soon as practicable, and in any event within five Trading Days from the Conversion Date (subject to changes to applicable laws and regulations), there be delivered to the local agent appointed by the converting Holder through book-entry system maintained by the Taiwan Depositary and Clearing Corporation for the relevant Shares, registered in the name specified for that purpose in the relevant Conversion Notice, together with any other property or cash required to be delivered upon conversion and such assignments or other documents (if any) as may be required by law to effect the delivery thereof.
(v) Retroactive Adjustment of Conversion Price
If (a) the Conversion Date in relation to any Bond shall be on or after a date with effect from which an adjustment to the Conversion Price takes retroactive effect pursuant to Condition 6(C) and the provisions of the Indenture; and (b) the relevant Conversion Date falls on a date when the relevant adjustment has not been reflected in the Conversion Price, the Company shall, within 20 days after the effective date of such adjustment of the Conversion Price, issue and deliver such number of Shares to the person designated in the Conversion Notice as is equal to the excess of the number of Shares that would have been required to be issued and delivered on conversion of such Bond if the relevant retroactive adjustment had been made as at the said Conversion Date over the number of Shares previously transferred pursuant to such conversion, and in such event and in respect of such number of Shares referenced in Condition 6(B)(iv) (Delivery of Shares) to the Conversion Date shall be deemed to refer to the date upon which such retroactive adjustment becomes effective (disregarding the fact that it becomes effective retroactively).
90
(vi) Dividends and Other Entitlements
Each Bondholder will not have any right to receive or be paid any dividends declared on the Shares unless such Bondholder has exercised the Conversion Right in accordance with the procedures set forth in Conditions 6(B)(i) (Conversion Notice) and 6(B)(ii) (Taxes and Expenses; Deposit Date and Conversion Date). A converting Bondholder’s right to receive dividends declared on the Shares which are delivered to the person designated in the Conversion Notice upon conversion of a Bond or Bonds will begin on the Conversion Date. The Shares issued on conversion of the Bonds will in all respects rank pari passu with the Shares outstanding on the date on the relevant Conversion Date (except for any right or distribution the record date for which falls on or precedes such Conversion Date and except for any other right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law).
(vii) Restrictions on Shareholding of PRC persons
Under current ROC laws, regulations and policy, a PRC person is not permitted to convert the Bonds and to register as a shareholder of the Issuer unless (i) it is a qualified domestic institutional investor approved by competent PRC authorities (“QDII”) who will hold less than 10% of the Issuer’s issued shares after conversion of the Bonds, or (ii) it otherwise obtains the approval of the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs if all the business items are within the positive list promulgated by the ROC government from time to time and it will hold 10% or more (or other threshold required by the regulators) of the Issuer’s issued shares after conversion of the Bonds. In addition, there are restrictions on the amount remitted to Taiwan for investments by QDIIs, separately and jointly. Accordingly, the qualification criteria for a PRC person to make investment and the investment threshold imposed by the FSC and the TWSE might cause a Bondholder who is a PRC person to be unable to convert and hold the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Bonds. Under current ROC laws, “PRC person” means an individual holding a passport issued by the PRC, a resident of any area of China under the effective control or jurisdiction of the PRC (but not including a special administrative region of the PRC such as Hong Kong and Macau, if so excluded by applicable laws of the ROC), any agency or instrumentality of the PRC and any corporation, partnership or other entity organized under the laws of any such area or controlled by, or directly or indirectly having more than 30% of its capital owned by, or beneficially owned by any such person, resident, agency or instrumentality.
(viii) ROC Procedures for Foreign Nationals Holding the Shares
Under the existing ROC law, a non-ROC converting Bondholder, before exercising the Conversion Right, is required to register with the TWSE for making investments in the ROC securities market. Such non-ROC converting Bondholder is also required to appoint a local agent in Taiwan which meets the qualifications that are set from time to time by the FSC to open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm and a bank account to remit funds, pay taxes, exercise shareholders’ rights and perform such other functions as may be designated by such Holder. In addition, such non-ROC converting Bondholder must also appoint a custodian bank in Taiwan to hold the securities and any cash proceeds for safekeeping, to make confirmation and settlement of trades and to report all relevant information. Furthermore, such non-ROC converting Bondholder is required to appoint a tax guarantor, in Taiwan which meets the qualifications that are set from time to time by the Ministry of Finance of the ROC for filing tax returns and making tax payments on their behalf. Without meeting such requirements, such non-ROC converting Bondholder would not be able to hold or sell or otherwise transfer the Shares into which the Bonds may be converted on the TWSE or otherwise.

- (i) If the Company shall declare a dividend in Shares or make a free distribution or bonus issue of Shares which is treated as a capitalization issue for accounting purposes (including but not limited to capitalization of capital reserves but excluding the issuance of employee stock bonus), then the Conversion Price in effect on the date when such dividend and/or distribution is declared (or, if the Company has fixed a prior record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend and/or distribution, on such record date) shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
NCP = OCP x [N/(N + n)]
where:
NCP = the Conversion Price after such adjustment.
OCP = the Conversion Price before such adjustment.
- N = the number of Shares outstanding (having regard in this case and in each subsection mentioned below to subsection (q) below) at the time of distribution of such dividend, free distribution and/or bonus issue.
- n = the number of Shares to be distributed to the shareholders as a dividend, free distribution and/or bonus issue.

-
(b) Reduction of Share Capital
-
(i) If the Company shall reduce its share capital other than by means of canceling any Shares held in treasury or repurchasing any Shares for the purpose of holding such Shares in treasury, the Conversion Price then in effect on the record date for the determination of the shareholders participating in such capital reduction shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

92
- (ii) If the Company shall reduce its share capital other than by means of canceling any Common Shares or repurchasing any Common Shares and for the purpose of holding such Common Shares in treasury and distributes cash in connection with such share capital reduction, the Conversion Price then in effect on the record date for the determination of the shareholders participating in such capital reduction shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

-
(vi) in the case of the issue of Shares credited as fully paid out of retained earnings or capitalization or reserves at their par value, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company shall be deemed to be zero (and accordingly the number of Shares which such aggregate consideration receivable by the Company could purchase at the relevant Current Market Price per Share shall also be deemed to be zero).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall continue to be responsible to such Bondholders for any Additional Amount that is payable in respect of the Bonds under Condition 9 as a result of the laws, treaties or regulations (or the interpretation or administration thereof) of a relevant taxing jurisdiction in effect on the Issue Date.

No notice of redemption given under the above Conditions 8(B) and 8(C) shall be effective if the Redemption Date specified therein is during a Closed Period or within 30 days following the last day of a Closed Period.
Upon the expiration of such notice, the Company will be bound to redeem the Bonds at the applicable redemption price on the Redemption Date, except as otherwise indicated in these Conditions or the Indenture.
Payment of the relevant redemption price for any Bond will be made on the Redemption Date, provided , however , that (i) if such Bond is a Certificated Bonds and has not been so delivered on or prior to the Redemption Date, payment will only be made at the time of delivery of such Certificated Bonds (together with the necessary endorsements), (ii) if the Redemption Date falls on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next immediate Business Day and (iii) money sufficient for payment of the relevant redemption price has been deposited with the Paying Agents at least one Business Day prior to the Redemption Date.

In the event that any such deduction or withholding from any such payment is so required, the Company will pay such additional amounts (“ Additional Amounts ”) as will result in the receipt by the Bondholders of the amounts which would otherwise have been receivable in the absence of any such deduction or withholding, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Bond:
-
(i) to a Bondholder or beneficial owner (or to a third party on behalf of a Bondholder or beneficial owner) where such Bondholder or beneficial owner is liable for such Taxes in respect of such Bond by reason of its being connected with the relevant taxing jurisdiction otherwise than merely by holding such Bond or by the receipt of principal or premium or any other amount in respect of any Bond or the enforcement of payment on such Bond;
-
(ii) to or on behalf of a Bondholder or beneficial owner to the extent that such Bondholder or beneficial owner would not be liable for or subject to such deduction or withholding by making a declaration of non-residence or other claims for exemption or deduction to the relevant tax authorities if such Bondholder or beneficial owner is eligible to make such declaration or claim and, after a written request from the Company, such Bondholder or beneficial owner fails to timely do so;
-
(iii) presented for payment more than 30 days after the relevant date except to the extent that the Bondholder or beneficial owner thereof would have been entitled to the Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such 30-day period; or
-
(iv) to or on behalf of a Bondholder or beneficial owner if such Bondholder or beneficial owner would have been able to avoid the withholding or deduction by the presentation (where presentation is required) of the relevant Bond to, or otherwise accepting payment from, another paying agent in a member state of the European Union.
For this purpose the “ relevant date ” in relation to any Bond means (a) the due date for payment in respect thereof, or (b) if the full amount of the moneys payable on such due date has not been received by the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent on or prior to such due date, the date on which notice is duly given to the Bondholders that such moneys have been so received.
Additionally, the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts shall not apply with respect to (i) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of similar nature or (ii) any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on the Bonds or issuance of Shares on conversion of the Bonds.
References in these Conditions to principal, premium and/or any other amounts which may be payable pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Indenture shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amounts which may be payable under this Condition or any undertaking given in addition to or substitution for it under the Indenture.
The Company will provide to the Trustee and Agents a certified copy of an official receipt (or, if official receipts are not obtainable, other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) evidencing the payment of any applicable Taxes deducted or withheld. Copies of those receipts or other documentation, as the case may be, will be made available to the Bondholders upon written request.
112
Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be responsible for paying any tax, duty, charges, withholding or other payment referred to in this Condition 9 or in connection with the Bonds or for determining whether such amounts are payable or the amount thereof, and none of them shall be responsible or liable for any failure by the Issuer, any Bondholder or any other person to pay such tax, duty, charges, withholding or other payment in any jurisdiction or to provide any notice or information that would permit, enable or facilitate the payment of any principal, premium (if any) or other amount under or in respect of the Bonds without deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax, duty, charge, withholding or other payment imposed by or in any jurisdiction.
The above obligations will survive termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and will apply to any successor of the Company.
Any premium paid on redemption of the bonds will be deemed interest income for the purpose of ROC taxation.

None of the Trustee or any of the Agents shall be responsible for the performance by the Issuer and any other person appointed by the Issuer in relation to the Bonds of the duties and obligations on their part expressed in respect of the same and, unless it has written notice from the Issuer to the contrary, the Trustee and each Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are being duly performed. None of the Trustee or any Agent shall be liable to any Bondholder, the Issuer or any other person for any action taken by the Trustee or such Agent in accordance with the instructions of the Bondholders.
Each Bondholder shall be solely responsible for making and continuing to make its own independent appraisal and investigation into the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Issuer and their respective Subsidiaries, and the Trustee shall not at any time have any responsibility or liability for the same and each Bondholder shall not rely on the Trustee in respect thereof.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, we will reimburse the Trustee, Registrar and Principal Agent for all fees, costs, taxes and expenses. The Indenture contains limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become our creditor, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The Trustee and its affiliates are entitled and permitted to engage in other transactions with the Issuer and/or any entity related (directly or indirectly) to the Issuer, including normal banking and trustee relationships, without accounting for any profit. With respect to notices to holders of a beneficial interest in the Global Bond, such notices would be deemed to have been provided to such holders if the notices are sent to the clearing systems for dispatching to the holder.
121
Taxation
Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of owning the Bonds or Common Shares and the laws of any other relevant taxing jurisdiction to which they are subject.
ROC
The following summary addresses the principal ROC tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Bonds or Shares by a non-resident individual or non-resident entity that holds such Bonds or Shares (each a “Non-ROC Holder”). A “non-resident individual” (a “Non-ROC Individual Holder”) is a foreign national individual who is not physically present in the ROC for 183 days or more during any calendar year in which he or she owns the Bonds or Shares and a “non-resident entity” (a “Non-ROC Entity Holder”) is a corporation or a non-corporate body that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the ROC and does not have a fixed place of business or business agent in the ROC.
Conversion of Bonds
The conversion of Bonds into Shares will not be taxable to Non-ROC Holders under ROC income tax law, i.e., you will generally not recognize gain or loss on the conversion of your Bonds into the Shares except to the extent of cash received in lieu of a fractional Share. The amount of gain or loss you recognize on the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional Share will be equal to the difference between the amount of cash you receive in respect of the fractional Share and the portion of your adjusted tax basis in the Bonds allocable to the fractional Share. The tax basis of the Shares received upon a conversion of a Bond will equal the adjusted tax basis of the Bond that was converted (excluding the portion of the tax basis allocable to any fractional Share).
In addition, securities transaction tax, gift tax and/or income tax may be imposed in relation to the converting holder’s designation of other person to be the holder of Shares upon conversion of the Bonds.
Dividends
Dividends (whether in cash or Shares) declared by the Company out of its retained earnings and distributed to a Non-ROC Holder in respect of the Shares are ROC sourced income and; therefore, subject to ROC withholding tax, currently at the rate of 21%, on the amount of the distribution (in the case of cash dividends) or on the par value of the Shares (in the case of stock dividends) unless a lower withholding rate is provided under an applicable tax treaty between the ROC and the jurisdiction where the Non-ROC Holder is a resident. A 10% undistributed earnings tax was imposed on an ROC company for its after-tax earnings generated after January 1, 1998 which were not distributed in the following year. The undistributed earnings tax was reduced to 5% on January 1, 2018. The undistributed earnings tax so paid will further reduce the retained earnings available for future distribution. Distributions of stock dividends declared by the Company out of its Capital Reserves are not subject to withholding tax, except under limited circumstances.
Capital Gains
Sales of the Bonds by Non-ROC Holders are regarded as transactions relating to property located outside the ROC and thus any resultant gains are currently not subject to ROC income tax. Non-ROC Holders are exempt from income tax on capital gains from the sale or disposal of the Shares. Payments of principal on the Bonds made by the Company will not be subject to ROC withholding tax. Payments of premium (if any ever becomes payable on the Bonds) to a Non-ROC holder constitute interest income derived from the ROC and, therefore, are subject to ROC withholding tax at a rate of 15% at the time of payment unless a lower withholding rate is provided under a tax treaty between ROC and the jurisdiction where the Non-ROC holder is a resident. The Company has agreed to pay Additional Amounts in respect of the withholding tax on such payments. See “Description of the bonds – Taxation.”
122
Securities Transaction Tax
Securities transaction tax will be withheld at the rate of 0.3% of the transaction price upon a sale of the Shares. Nevertheless, transfers of the Bonds by Non-ROC Holders are not subject to ROC securities transaction tax.
Pre-emptive Rights
Distributions of statutory subscription rights for the Shares in compliance with the ROC Company Act are not subject to ROC tax. Proceeds derived from sales of statutory subscription rights evidenced by securities are subject to securities transaction tax, currently at the rate of 0.3% of the gross amount received. Non-ROC Holders remain exempt, after January 1, 2013, from income tax on capital gains from such sale. Proceeds derived from sales of statutory subscription rights which are not evidenced by securities are subject to income tax at the rate of 20% of the gains realized. Subject to compliance with ROC laws, the Company has the sole discretion to determine whether statutory subscription rights shall be evidenced by the issuance of securities.
Estate Tax and Gift Tax
Subject to allowable exclusions, deductions and exemptions, ROC estate tax is payable on any property located within the ROC of a deceased Non-ROC Individual Holder, and ROC gift tax is payable on any property located within the ROC donated by a Non-ROC Individual Holder. Estate tax and gift tax are currently imposed at the progressive rates of 10%, 15% and 20%. Under ROC estate and gift tax law, the Shares are deemed located within the ROC regardless of the location of the owner. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether a holder of the Bonds will be considered to own the Shares for this purpose.
Tax Treaties
At present, the ROC has income tax treaties with Singapore, Indonesia, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Gambia, Eswatini, Malaysia, North Macedonia, the Netherlands, UK, Senegal, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Israel, Paraguay, Hungary, France, India, Slovakia, Switzerland, Germany, Thailand, Kiribati, Luxembourg, Austria, Italy, Japan, Canada, and Poland, which limit the rate of withholding tax on dividends or interest paid by ROC companies to residents of these countries. Holders of the Bonds or Shares should consult their own tax advisers concerning their eligibility for benefits under an income tax treaty with respect to the Bonds or Shares.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT JUNE 30, 2019 AND 2020
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT (TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE)
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at June 30, 2019 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods then ended as well as the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the six-month periods then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” in the Republic of China. 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 explained in Note 6(7), we did not review the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method, which statements reflect investments accounted for using equity method of NT$1,911,729 thousand and NT$1,589,393 thousand, constituting 0.64% and 0.52% of the consolidated total assets as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and comprehensive income and loss under the equity method of NT$35,331 thousand, NT$32,833 thousand, NT$66,019 thousand and NT$55,784 thousand, constituting (16.58%), 0.84%, 15.78% and 2.72% of the consolidated total comprehensive income and loss for the three-month and six-month periods then ended. These amounts and the related information disclosed in Note 13 were based on the unreviewed financial statements of such investee companies.
Qualified Conclusion
Based on our reviews and the reports of other independent accountants, except for the possible effects on the consolidated financial statements, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method and the related information disclosed in Note 13 been reviewed by independent accountants as explained in the preceding paragraph, nothing has come to our attention that causes 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 at June 30, 2019 and 2020, and of its consolidated financial performance for the three-month and six-month periods then ended and its consolidated cash flows for the six-month periods then ended in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Other Matter – Review Reports of Other Independent Accountants
We did not review the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for using equity method. Those financial statements were reviewed by other independent accountants, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our report expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements and the information disclosed in Note 13 was based solely on the review reports of other independent accountants. These consolidated subsidiaries reflect total assets of NT$65,620,826 thousand and NT$61,198,837 thousand, constituting 21.81% and 19.92% of the consolidated total assets as at June 30, 2019 and 2020, and total operating revenues of NT$10,379,442 thousand, NT$8,672,549 thousand, NT$21,096,388 thousand and NT$16,754,411 thousand, constituting 22.03%, 19.77%, 22.73% and 19.18% of the consolidated total operating revenues for the three-month and six-month periods then ended. The investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$16,921,381 thousand and NT$17,439,601 thousand, constituting 5.62% and 5.68% of the consolidated total assets as at June 30, 2019 and 2020, and the comprehensive income and loss under equity method was (NT$331,280) thousand, NT$410,601 thousand, (NT$143,973) thousand and (NT$219,985) thousand, constituting 155.48%, 10.49%, (34.41%) and (10.74%) of the consolidated total comprehensive income and loss for the three-month and six-month periods then ended.

- THE DATE OF AUTHORISATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORISATION
These consolidated financial statements were authorised by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2020.
-
APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
-
(1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by FSC effective from 2020 are as follows:
| NewStandards,Interpretations and Amendments | Effective date by International Accounting Standards Board |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure initiative-definition of material’ Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Definition of a business’ Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS7 ,‘Interest rate benchmark reform’ Amendment to IFRS 16, ‘Covid-19-related rent concessions’ |
January 1, 2020 January 1, 2020 January 1, 2020 June 1, 2020 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
- A. Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure initiative-definition of material’
The amendments clarify the definition of material that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.
~13~
F-14
- B. Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Definition of a business’
The amendments clarify the definition of a business that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together; narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs. Remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs. Besides, add an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Related impact assessment is provided in Note 4(3).
- C. Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, ‘Interest rate benchmark reform’
The reliefs relate to hedge accounting and have the effect that IBOR reform should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. Also, the amendment requires disclosure about how the entity is impacted by IBOR reform and is managing the transition process.
- D. Amendment to IFRS 16, ‘Covid-19-related rent concessions’
This amendment provides a practical expedient for lessees from assessing whether a rent concession related to COVID-19, and that meets all of the following conditions, is a lease modification:
-
(a) Changes in lease payments result in the revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
-
(b) Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30 2021; and
-
(c) There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
Related impact assessment is provided in Note 6(9).
(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by
the Group
None.
(3) Effect of IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC are as follows:
| endorsed by the FSC are as follows: | |
|---|---|

| New Standards,Interpretations and Amendments | Effective date by International Accounting Standards Board |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IAS 1, ‘Classification of liabilities as current or non- current’ Amendments to IAS 16, ‘Property, plant and equipment:proceeds before intended use’ Amendments to IAS 37, ‘Onerous contracts—cost of fulfilling a Annual improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 |
January 1, 2022 January 1, 2022 January 1, 2022 January 1, 2022 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
- A. Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Reference to the conceptual framework’
The amendments were made to IFRS 3, 'Business combinations' to update the references to the 2018 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, in determining what constitutes an asset or a liability in a business combination. In addition, the amendments added an exception in IFRS 3 for the recognition of liabilities and contingent liabilities. The exception specifies that, for some types of liabilities and contingent liabilities, an entity applying IFRS 3 should instead refer to IAS 37, 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets' or IFRIC 21, 'Levies', rather than the 2018 Conceptual Framework. The amendments also confirmed that contingent assets, as defined in IAS 37, should not be recognised by the acquirer at the acquisition date.
- B. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, ‘Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture’
The amendments resolve a current inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28. The gain or loss resulting from a transaction that involves sales or contribution of assets between an investor and its associates or joint ventures is recognised either in full or partially depending on the nature of the assets sold or contributed:
-
(a) If sales or contributions of assets constitute a ‘business’, the full gain or loss is recognised;
-
(b) If sales or contributions of assets do not constitute a ‘business’, the partial gain or loss is recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.
-
C. Amendments to IAS 1, ‘Classification of liabilities as current or non-current’
The amendments clarify that classification of liabilities depends on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. An entity shall classify a liability as current when it does not have a right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Also, the amendments define ‘settlement’ as the extinguishment of a liability with cash, other economic resources or an entity’s own equity instruments.
~15~
F-16
-
D. Amendments to IAS 16, ‘Property, plant and equipment: proceeds before intended use’ This amendment to IAS 16 prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use (for example, the proceeds from selling samples produced when testing a machine to see if it is functioning properly). The proceeds from selling such samples and the costs relating to items produced are now recognised in profit or loss. This amendment also clarifies that an entity is ‘testing whether the asset is functioning properly’ when it assesses the technical and physical performance of the asset. The financial performance of the asset is not relevant to this assessment.
-
E. Amendments to IAS 37, ‘Onerous contracts—cost of fulfilling a contract’ The amendments clarify that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract. Costs that relate directly to a contract consist of the incremental costs of fulfilling the contract and an allocation of other costs directly related to fulfilling contracts.
The impact of the above standards and interpretations is still under management's assessment.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
- (1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the“Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as endorsed by the FSC.
-
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
-
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
~16~
F-17
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
- (a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
~25~
F-26
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
-
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
-
(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
-
(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
-
(d) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
~26~
F-27
-
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
-
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits with original maturities of three months or less that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
-
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
~27~
F-28
(8) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments which meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
-
(a) The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as other income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
-
(b) Except for the recognition of impairment loss, interest income and gain or loss on foreign exchange which are recognised in profit or loss, the changes in fair value of debt instruments are taken through other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
(9) Financial assets at amortised cost
-
A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
-
D. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
~28~
F-29
(10) Notes, accounts and other receivables
-
A. Notes and account receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services. Receivables arising from transactions other than the sale of goods or service are classified as other receivables.
-
B. The short-term notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(11) Impairment of financial assets
For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(12) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
- (13) Operating leases (lessor) operating leases
Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(14) Inventories
Inventories refer to fuel inventories and steel inventories. Fuel inventories are physically measured by the crew of each ship and reported back to the Head Office through telegraph for recording purposes at balance sheet date. Valuation of inventories is based on the exchange rate prevailing at balance sheet date.
The perpetual inventory system is adopted for steel inventory recognition. Steel inventories are stated at cost. The cost is determined using the weighted-average method. At the end of period, inventories are evaluated at the lower of cost or net realisable value, and the individual item approach is used in the comparison of cost and net realisable value. The calculation of net realisable value should be based on the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, net of estimated costs of completion and estimated selling expenses.
~29~
F-30
(15) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates
-
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
-
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
C. When changes in an associate’s equity that are not recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes not affecting the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises the Group’s share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
-
D. Unrealised gains and loss on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for using equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
-
F. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
-
G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
~30~
F-31
-
H. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it still retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
-
(16) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
-
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings 20 ~ 135 years Loading and unloading equipment 5 ~ 20 years Ships (Except for docking repair and scrubber) 18 ~ 25 years Ship (Docking repair) 2.5 ~ 5 years Ship (Scrubber) 7 ~10 years Transportation equipment 5 ~ 10 years Other equipment 2 ~ 20 years
(17) Leasing arrangements (lessee) � right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
- A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of lowvalue assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
~31~
F-32
-
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of the following:
-
(a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
-
(b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and
-
(c) The exercise price of a purchase option, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
-
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:
-
(a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
-
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;
-
(c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
-
(d) An estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
- D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognise the difference between remeasured lease liability in profit or loss.
(18) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 ~ 60 years.
(19) Intangible assets
- A. Computer software
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years.
B. Goodwill
Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
~32~
F-33
C. Customer relationship
Customer relationship arises from the business combination is measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Customer relationship has a finite useful life and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 8.05 to 10 years.
(20) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
(21) Borrowings
-
A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and shortterm loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
-
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
(22) Accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(23) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition:
-
(a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
-
(b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
-
(c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management policy.
~33~
F-34
-
B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
-
(24) Bonds payable
Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Group are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised to profit or loss over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’.
-
(25) Derecognition of financial liabilities
-
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
-
(26) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
-
(27) Hedge accounting
-
A. At the inception of the hedging relationship, there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the Group’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. That documentation shall include identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Group will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements.
-
B. The Group designates the hedging relationship as follows: Cash flow hedge:
- A hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.
-
C. Cash flow hedges
-
(a)The cash flow hedge reserve associated with the hedged item is adjusted to the lower of the following (in absolute amounts):
-
i. the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; and
-
ii. the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge.
-
-
(b)The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss.
-
~34~
F-35
-
(c)The amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve in accordance with item(a) is accounted for as follows:
-
i. If a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, the Group shall remove that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve and include it directly in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or liability.
-
ii. For cash flow hedges other than those covered by item i. above, that amount shall be reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.
-
iii. If that amount is a loss and the Group expects that all or a portion of that loss will not be recovered in one or more future periods, it shall immediately reclassify the amount that is not expected to be recovered into profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
-
(d) When the hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated, exercised or when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria, if the forecast transaction is still expected to occur, the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve shall remain in the cash flow hedge reserve until the forecast transaction occurs; if the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the amount shall be immediately reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
(28) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
(b) Defined benefit plans
- i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds
~35~
F-36
that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
-
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
-
iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
-
iv. Pension cost for the interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the pension cost rate derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-off events. And, the related information is disclosed accordingly.
-
C. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of employment as a result from either the Group’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group recognises expense as it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognises relating restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present value.
- D. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
-
(29) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in
~36~
F-37
the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
-
F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
-
G. The interim period income tax expense is recognised based on the estimated average annual effective income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pretax income of the interim period, and the related information is disclosed accordingly.
-
H. If a change in tax rate is enacted or substantively enacted in an interim period, the Group recognises the effect of the change immediately in the interim period in which the change occurs. The effect of the change on items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity while the effect of the change on items recognised in profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
-
(30) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
~37~
F-38
(31) Revenue recognition
-
A. Sales of services
-
Revenue from delivering services is recognised under the percentage-of-completion method when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of a service contract is measured by the percentage of the actual services performed as of the financial reporting date to the total services to be performed. If the outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue should be recognised only to the extent that contract costs incurred are likely to be recoverable. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
-
B. Rental revenue
The Group leases ships and shipping spaces under IFRS 16, ‘Leases’. Lease assets are classified as finance leases or operating leases based on the transferred proportion of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset, and recognised in revenue over the lease term.
-
(32) Business combinations
-
A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisitionrelated costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the Group measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be measured at the acquisition-date fair value.
-
B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquiree recognised and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
~38~
F-39
(33) Operating segments
The Group’s operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker. The Chief Operating Decision-Maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
(34) Convenience conversion into U.S dollars
The Group maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial statements in New Taiwan (“NT”) dollars. The United States (“US”) dollar amounts disclosed in the financial statements are presented solely for the convenience of the reader and were translated to US dollars at the rate of NT$29.44 : US $1.00, the noon buying rate in effect as of Federal Reserve Board on June 30, 2020 , as uniformly applied for all the financial statements accounts. Such translation amounts are unaudited and should not be construed as a representations that the NT dollar amounts represent, have been, or could in the future be converted into US dollars at that or any other rate.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF
ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
None.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
- A. Revenue recognition
Revenue from freight services of the Group is recognised under the percentage-of-completion method for each vessel of which the service has been provided during the reporting period. The adjustments to the estimated amount may be required as the transit days and the freight revenue are subject to estimation.
- B. Impairment assessment of tangible assets
The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilized and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.
As of June 30, 2020, the Group recognised property, plant, equipment and cargo handling equipment, transport equipment and ship equipment, which are recognised in right-of-use asset, amounting to $103,481,284 and $67,298,884, respectively.

Price risk
-
i. The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Group and classified on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
-
ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, equity would have increased/decreased by $18,470 and $14,340 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
- i. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD, USD and GBP.
~87~
F-88
-
ii. At June 30, 2019 and 2020, if interest rates on borrowings had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2020 would have been $935,857 and $986,434 lower/higher, respectively, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms.
-
ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
-
iii. The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition: If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
iv. As the Group’s historical credit losses experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments which are worldwide and in a wide range without connection, so there is no credit risk concentration for notes and accounts receivable as well as contract assets. Therefore, the provision for losses is not further distinguished according to different segments of the Group’s customer base.
-
v. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights. As of June 30, 2019, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, the Group has no written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures.
-
vi. The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical, timely information, economic conditions of the industry, GDP forecast and trade growth rate to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable (including related parties), contract assets and overdue receivable. As of June 30, 2019, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, the loss rate methodology is as follows:

(3) Fair value estimation
-
A.The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active if it meets all the following conditions: the items traded in the market are homogeneous; willing buyers and sellers can normally be found at any time; and prices are available to the public. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks, beneficiary certificates and derivative instruments with quoted market prices is included in Level.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
-
B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(10).
-
C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
-
(a) Except for those listed in the table below, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, financial assets measured at amortised cost, accounts payable and other payables are approximate to their fair values.

(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
i. The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
Listed shares
-
Market quoted price Closing price
-
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).
-
iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
-
iv. The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate. Structured interest derivative instruments are measured by using appropriate option pricing models (i.e. Black-Scholes model) or other valuation methods, such as Monte Carlo simulation.
-
v. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
-
vi. The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.

H. The Group is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd.
Introduction
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. (the“ Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) as at December 31, 2018 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants (please refer to Other Matter section of our report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2019, and the 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the reports of other independent accountants are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Accuracy and cut-off of freight revenue
Description
Please refer to Note 4(32) for accounting policies on revenue recognition, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on revenue recognition, and Note 6(22) for details of sales revenue.
Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. primarily engages in global container shipping service covering ocean-going and near-sea shipping line, shipping agency business as well as container freight station business. In 2019, freight revenue from contracts with customers was NTD 168,582,876 thousand, representing 88.45% of operating revenue. Since ocean-going shipping often lasts for several days, voyages are sometimes completed after the date of balance sheet. Also, demands for freight are consistently sent by forwarders during voyage. Due to the factors mentioned above, freight revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method for each vessel during the reporting period.
Despite the Group conducting business worldwide, its transactions are all in small amounts, whereas the freight rate is subject to fluctuation caused by cargo loading rate as well as market competition. Worldwide shipping agencies use a system to record the transactions by entering data including shipping departure, destination, counterparty, transit time, shipping amounts, and freight price for the Group. Therefore, management could recognize freight revenue in accordance with the data on bill of lading reports generated from the system, accompanied by estimation made from past experience and current cargo loading conditions that the revenue would flow in, and calculate the revenue under the percentageof-completion method. As the process of recording transactions, communicating with agencies, and maintaining the system are done manually, and the estimation of freight revenue are subject to management’s judgement, therefore freight revenue involves high uncertainty and is material to the financial statements. Given the conditions mentioned above, we consider the accuracy of freight revenue and the appropriate use of cut-off by the Group and its investee companies as a key audit matter.
~3~
F-141
How our audit addressed the matter
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
-
Obtained an understanding of the operation and industry of the Group to assess the reasonableness of policies and procedures on revenue recognition, and confirmed whether it is appropriate to the financial statements.
-
Obtained an understanding of the procedures of revenue recognition from booking, picking, billing to receiving. Assessed and tested relevant internal controls, including checking freight items and amounts of delivery information against the approved contracts and booking list. In addition, recalculated the accuracy of freight revenue, and ensured its consistency with the bill of lading report.
-
Obtained the estimated freight income report for vessels underway as of balance sheets date, and inquired with management for the reasonableness of judgement. In addition, checked historical freight revenue for total voyage under each individual vessel, along with comparing with current cargo loading condition as well as actual revenue received after period end to ensure the reasonableness of revenue assumptions.
-
Confirmed the completeness of vessels underway for the reporting period, including tracking the movements of shipments on the internet to ensure the vessels that depart before period end have been taken into consideration in the freight revenue calculation.
-
Verified accuracy of data used in calculating percentage of completion under each voyage, including selecting samples and check whether total shipping days shown on the Company’s website are in agreement with cruise timetable as well as recalculating shipping days (days between departure and balance sheet date), in order to examine the soundness of percentage applied.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
Description
Please refer to Notes 4(16) and 4(17) for accounting policies on property, plant and equipment and rightof-use assets, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, and Notes 6(8) and 6(9) for details of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets.
As of December 31, 2019, property, plant and equipment amounted to NTD 108,393,511 thousand, constituting 35.35% of total assets, and ship equipment, transport equipment and cargo handling equipment amounted to NTD 100,150,433 thousand, accounting for approximately 92.40% of total property, plant and equipment; right-of-use assets amounted to NTD 82,624,186 thousand, constituting 26.95% of total assets, and ship equipment, transport equipment and cargo handling equipment amounted to NTD 69,466,851 thousand, accounting for approximately 84.08% of total right-of-use assets.
As new ships have been built and put into operation by many carriers around the world, market supply has exceeded demand. Therefore, the market imbalance led to price competition, resulting in unstable profitability for the industry and raising the risk of impairment arising from main operating ship equipment, transport equipment and cargo handling equipment. The valuation of impairment and recoverable amounts are evaluated by the Group using the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash-generating unit compared to the book value. The main assumptions of discount rates used in recoverable amounts, and expected operating revenue growth rates, gross profit, operating profit rates, capital expenditures and discount rates used in future cash flow estimates are subject to management’s judgement and involve high uncertainty, and the estimated results are material to the consolidated financial statements. Given the conditions mentioned above, we consider the impairment assessment of ship equipment, transport equipment and cargo handling equipment in the property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets under the Group and its investee companies as a key audit matter.
~5~
F-143
How our audit addressed the matter
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
-
Obtained an understanding and assessed the relevant policies, internal controls and process applied to valuation of asset impairments.
-
Interviewed with management regarding the impairment test report, and assessed the reasonableness of discount rates and the reasonableness of operating revenue, gross profit, operating profit rate, growth rates and capital expenditure that management used in estimating future cash flows by checking actual performance under past operating plans and comparing the performance with industry forecast to evaluate the intention and capability of management.
-
Checked the parameters of the valuation model and recalculated the valuation model for accuracy.
Other matter – Report of other independent accountants
We did not audit the financial statements of all the consolidated subsidiaries. Those statements and the information disclosed in Note 13 were performed by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our audit expressed herein is based solely on the reports of the other independent accountants. The statements reflect that total assets in these subsidiaries amounted to NTD 52,567,030 thousand and NTD 64,007,665 thousand, constituting 22.95% and 20.88% of the total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2018, and 2019, respectively. Net operating revenues in the subsidiaries amounted to NTD 50,179,774 thousand and NTD 41,978,500 thousand, constituting 29.65% and 22.03% of the total consolidated net operating revenues of 2018 and 2019 for the years then ended. In addition, we did not audit the financial statements of all the investments accounted for using equity method. Those statements and the information disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our audit expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those investee companies accounted for using equity method and information disclosed in Note 13 related to these long-term equity investments, is based solely on the reports of other independent accountants. Long-term equity investments in these investee companies amounted to NTD 17,158,367 thousand and NTD 18,297,311 thousand, constituting 7.49% and 5.97% of the total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively, and comprehensive income (including share of profit or loss and share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method) was NTD 109,172 thousand and NTD 331,944 thousand constituting 16.69% and (51.01%) of the consolidated total comprehensive income and loss for the years then ended, respectively.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited the parent company only financial statement of Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with explanatory paragraph thereon.
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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
~7~
F-145
-
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 auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the 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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
~8~
F-146
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

EVERGREEN MARINE CORPORATION (TAIWAN) LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, except as otherwise indicated)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANISATION
Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. (the “Company”) was established in the Republic of China. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) are mainly engaged in domestic and international marine transportation, shipping agency services, and the distribution of containers. The Company was approved by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB), Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan, R.O.C. to be a public company on November 2, 1982 and was further approved by the SFB to be a listed company on July 6, 1987. The Company’s shares have been publicly traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since September 21, 1987.
- THE DATE OF AUTHORISATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORISATION
These consolidated financial statements were authorised for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 24, 2020.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
(1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”) New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:
| New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC follows: |
effective from 2019 are a |
|---|---|
| NewStandards,Interpretations and Amendments | Effective date by International Accounting Standards Board |
| Amendments to IFRS 9, ‘Prepayment features with negative compensation’ IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’ Amendments to IAS 28, ‘Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures’ IFRIC 23, ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’ Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle |
January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
A. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
(a) IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and
~18~
F-156
account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
-
(b) The Group has elected to apply IFRS 16 by not restating the comparative information (referred herein as the ‘modified retrospective approach’) when applying “IFRSs” effective in 2019 as endorsed by the FSC. Accordingly, the Group increased ‘right-of-use asset’ by $74,284,901 and ‘lease liability’ by $72,202,777, and decreased prepayments by $182,711, lease assets by $13,539,111 and lease payable (including current portion) by $11,639,698 with respect to the lease contracts of lessees on January 1, 2019.
-
(c) The Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard at the date of initial application of IFRS 16:
-
i. Reassessment as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is not required, instead, the application of IFRS 16 depends on whether or not the contracts were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
-
ii. The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
-
iii. The accounting for operating leases whose period will end before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases and accordingly, rent expense of $6,227,119 was recognised in 2019.
-
iv. The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
-
(d) The Group calculated the present value of lease liabilities by using the weighted average incremental borrowing interest rate range from 1% to 10%.
-
(e) The Group recognised lease liabilities which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, ‘Leases’. The reconciliation between operating lease commitments under IAS 17 measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate and lease liabilities recognised as of January 1, 2019 is as follows:
| January 1, 2019 is as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Operating lease commitments disclosed by applying IAS 17 as at | ||
| December 31, 2018 | $ | 130,964,797 |
| Add: Lease payable recognised under finance lease by applying | ||
| IAS 17 as at December 31, 2018 | 11,639,698 | |
| Less: Short-term leases | ( | 3,550,755) |
| Less: Low-value assets | ( | 49,970) |
| Less: Contracts reassessed as service agreements | ( | 22,715,097) |
| Less: Lease contracts contracted but the construction not yet finished | ( | 33,049,430) |
| Add: Adjustments as a result of a different treatment of | ||
| extension and termination options | 24,432 | |
| Total lease contracts amount recognised as lease liabilities by applying | ||
| IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 | 83,263,675 | |
| Incremental borrowing interest rate at the date of initial application | 1%~10% | |
| Lease liabilities recognised as at January 1, 2019 by applying IFRS 16 | $ | 72,202,777 |
~19~
F-157
- B. Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’
When a change to a plan take place, the amendments require a company to use the updated assumptions from this remeasurement to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after the change to the plan.
-
C. Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle
-
(a) Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Business combinations’
The amendments clarified that obtaining control of a business that is a joint operation is a business combination achieved in stages. The acquirer should remeasure its previously held interest in the joint operation at fair value at of the acquisition date.
- (b) Amendments to IAS 12, ‘Income taxes’
The amendment clarified that the income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity should be recognised according to where the past transactions or events that generated distributable profits were recognised. These requirements apply to all income tax consequences of dividends.
- (c) Amendments to IAS 23, ‘Borrowing costs’
The amendments clarified that if a specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale, it becomes part of general borrowings.
(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Group
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2020 are as follows:
| the Group New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC follows: |
effective from 2020 are a |
|---|---|
| NewStandards,Interpretations and Amendments | Effective date by International Accounting Standards Board |
| Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure Initiative-Definition of Material’ Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Definition of a business’ Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS7 ,‘Interest rate benchmark reform’ |
January 1, 2020 January 1, 2020 January 1, 2020 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
- A. Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure Initiative-Definition of Material’
The amendments clarify the definition of material that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.
~20~
F-158
- B. Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, ‘Interest rate benchmark reform’
The reliefs relate to hedge accounting and have the effect that IBOR reform should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. Also, the amendment requires disclosure about how the entity is impacted by IBOR reform and is managing the transition process.
(3) Effect of IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC are as follows:
| endorsed by the FSC are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| NewStandards,Interpretations and Amendments | Effective date by International Accounting Standards Board |
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, ‘Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture’ IFRS 17, ‘Insurance contracts’ Amendments to IAS 1, ‘Classification of liabilities as current or non- current’ |
To be determined by International Accounting Standards Board January 1, 2021 January 1, 2022 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
- A. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, ‘Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture’
The amendments resolve a current inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28. The gain or loss resulting from a transaction that involves sales or contribution of assets between an investor and its associates or joint ventures is recognised either in full or partially depending on the nature of the assets sold or contributed:
-
(a) If sales or contributions of assets constitute a ‘business’, the full gain or loss is recognized;
-
(b) If sales or contributions of assets do not constitute a ‘business’, the partial gain or loss is recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.
-
B. Amendments to IAS 1, ‘Classification of liabilities as current or non-current’
The amendments clarify that classification of liabilities depends on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. An entity shall classify a liability as current when it does not have a right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Also, the amendments define ‘settlement’ as the extinguishment of a liability with cash, other economic resources or an entity’s own equity instruments.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
~21~
F-159
(1) Compliance statement
These consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
-
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
-
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
~22~
F-160
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
~30~
F-168
- i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
- ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
- iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
- (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
- (c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
- (d) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
-
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
~31~
F-169
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits with original maturities of three months or less that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(8) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments which meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
-
(a) The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as other income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
-
(b) Except for the recognition of impairment loss, interest income and gain or loss on foreign exchange which are recognised in profit or loss, the changes in fair value of debt instruments are taken through other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
~32~
F-170
(9) Financial assets at amortised cost
-
A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
-
D. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(10) Notes, accounts and other receivables
-
A. Notes and account receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services. Receivables arising from transactions other than the sale of goods or service are classified as other receivables.
-
B. The short-term notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(11) Impairment of financial assets
For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(12) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
~33~
F-171
- (13) Operating leases (lessor) operating leases
Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(14) Inventories
Inventories refer to fuel inventories and steel inventories. Fuel inventories are physically measured by the crew of each ship and reported back to the Head Office through telegraph for recording purposes at balance sheet date. Valuation of inventories is based on the exchange rate prevailing at balance sheet date.
The perpetual inventory system is adopted for steel inventory recognition. Steel inventories are stated at cost. The cost is determined using the weighted-average method. At the end of period, inventories are evaluated at the lower of cost or net realisable value, and the individual item approach is used in the comparison of cost and net realisable value. The calculation of net realisable value should be based on the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, net of estimated costs of completion and estimated selling expenses.
-
(15) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates
-
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
-
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
C. When changes in an associate’s equity that are not recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes not affecting the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises the Group’s share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
-
D. Unrealised gains and loss on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
~34~
F-172
-
E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for using equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
-
F. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
-
G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
-
H. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it still retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
-
(16) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
~35~
F-173
- D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings 20 ~ 135 years Loading and unloading equipment 5 ~ 20 years Ships (Except for docking repair and scrubber) 10 ~ 25 years Ship (Docking repair) 2.5 ~ 25 years Ship (Scrubber) 6 ~ 10 years Transportation equipment 6 ~ 10 years Lease assets 2 ~ 90 years Other equipment 1.5 ~ 20 years
The ships (Docking repair and Scrubber) mentioned above are significant components of ships.
(17) Leasing arrangements (lessee) � right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
Effective 2019
-
A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of lowvalue assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of the following:
-
(a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
-
(b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and
-
(c) The exercise price of a purchase option, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
~36~
F-174
-
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:
-
(a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
-
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;
-
(c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
-
(d) An estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
- (18) Leased assets/ operating leases (lessee)
Prior to 2019
-
A. Based on the terms of a lease contract, a lease is classified as a finance lease if the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset.
-
(a) A finance lease is recognised as an asset and a liability at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments.
-
(b) The minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charges are allocated to each period over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
-
(c) Property, plant and equipment held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. If there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease, the asset shall be depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
-
B. Payments made under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
C. The accounting treatment of sale and leaseback transactions depends on the substance of the transaction. If sale and finance leaseback is in substance a financing transaction, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value of the asset is deferred and amortised to the income statement over the lease term. If the sale price is below the fair value, the difference between sale price and carrying amount should be recognised immediately except that, if a loss arising is compensated by future rent at below market price, it should be deferred and amortised in proportion to the rent payments over the period for which the asset is expected to be used. If the sale price is above the fair value, the excess of proceeds over fair value should be deferred and amortised over the period for which the asset is expected to be used.
~37~
F-175
(19) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 ~ 60 years.
(20) Intangible assets
- A. Computer software
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years.
- B. Goodwill
Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
- C. Customer relationship
Customer relationship arises from the business combination is measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Customer relationship has a finite useful life and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 8.05 to 10 years.
(21) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
(22) Borrowings
-
A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and shortterm loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
-
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
(23) Accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
~38~
F-176
(24) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition:
-
(a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
-
(b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
-
(c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management policy.
-
-
B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
-
(25) Bonds payable
-
Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Group are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised to profit or loss over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’.
-
(26) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
- (27) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(28) Hedge accounting
-
A. At the inception of the hedging relationship, there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the Group’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. That documentation shall include identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Group will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements.
-
B. The Group designates the hedging relationship as follows: Cash flow hedge:
A hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.
~39~
F-177
C. Cash flow hedges
-
(a) The cash flow hedge reserve associated with the hedged item is adjusted to the lower of the following (in absolute amounts):
-
i. the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; and
-
ii. the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge.
-
(b) The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) The amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve in accordance with (a) is accounted for as follows:
-
i. If a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, the Group shall remove that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve and include it directly in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or liability.
-
ii. For cash flow hedges other than those covered by item i. above, that amount shall be reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.
-
iii. If that amount is a loss and the Group expects that all or a portion of that loss will not be recovered in one or more future periods, it shall immediately reclassify the amount that is not expected to be recovered into profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
-
(d) When the hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated, exercised or when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria, if the forecast transaction is still expected to occur, the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve shall remain in the cash flow hedge reserve until the forecast transaction occurs; if the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the amount shall be immediately reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
(29) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
~40~
F-178
-
(b) Defined benefit plans
-
i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
-
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
-
iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
-
-
C. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of employment as a result from either the Group’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group recognises expense as it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognises relating restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present value.
-
D. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration
-
Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
(30) Income tax
- A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
~41~
F-179
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
-
F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
-
(31) Dividends
-
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
~42~
F-180
(32) Revenue recognition
-
A. Sales of goods
-
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account of business tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognised when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.
-
B. Sales of services
Revenue from delivering services is recognised under the percentage-of-completion method when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of a service contract is measured by the percentage of the actual services performed as of the financial reporting date to the total services to be performed. If the outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue should be recognised only to the extent that contract costs incurred are likely to be recoverable. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
- C. Rental revenue
The Group leases ships and shipping spaces under IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and IFRS 16, ‘Leases’. Lease assets are classified as finance leases or operating leases based on the transferred proportion of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset, and recognised in revenue over the lease term.
(33) Business combinations
- A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisitionrelated costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the Group measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be
~43~
F-181
measured at the acquisition-date fair value.
- B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquiree recognised and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
(34) Operating segments
The Group’s operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker. The Chief Operating Decision-Maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
- (35) Convenience conversion into U.S dollars
The Group maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial statements in New Taiwan (“NT”) dollars. The United States (“US”) dollar amounts disclosed in the financial statements are presented solely for the convenience of the reader and were translated to US dollars at the rate of NT$29.44 : US $1.00, the noon buying rate in effect as of Federal Reserve Board on June 30, 2020 , as uniformly applied for all the financial statements accounts. Such translation amounts are unaudited and should not be construed as a representations that the NT dollar amounts represent, have been, or could in the future be converted into US dollars at that or any other rate.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION
UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
None.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
- A. Revenue recognition
Revenue from delivering services and related costs are recognised under the percentage-ofcompletion method when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of a service contract is measured by the percentage of the actual services performed as of the financial reporting date to the total services to be performed.
~44~
F-182
B. Impairment assessment of tangible assets
The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilized and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.
As of December 31, 2019, the Group recognised property, plant, equipment and right-of-use asset amounting to $100,150,433 and $69,466,851, respectively.

(17) Pension
-
A. (a) The Company and its domestic subsidiary-TTSC have a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act (“the Act”), covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Act. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company and its domestic subsidiary-TTSC contribute monthly an amount equal to 15% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company and its domestic subsidiary-TTSC would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company and its domestic subsidiary-TTSC will make contributions for the deficit by next March.

(e) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries-TTSC’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilization for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from twoyear time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earning is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorized by the Regulator. The Group has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Group is unable to disclose the classification of plan asset fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2019 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD, USD and GBP.

-
ii. At December 31, 2018 and 2019, if interest rates on borrowings had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 would have been $866,151 and $946,578 lower/higher, respectively, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms.
-
ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
-
iii. The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition: If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
iv. If the default rate of an investment target exceeds 0.03%, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
v. The Group classifies customers’ contract assets, notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties) and overdue receivable in accordance with the nature of segments. The Group applies the modified approach using probability of default to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.
-
vi. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights. As of December 31, 2018 and 2019, the Group has no written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures.
-
vii. The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties), contract assets and overdue receivable. As of December 31, 2018 and 2019, the loss rate methodology is as follows:

- iii. The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount will be significantly different.
-
(3) Fair value estimation
-
A.The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active if it meets all the following conditions: the items traded in the market are homogeneous; willing buyers and sellers can normally be found at any time; and prices are available to the public. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks, beneficiary certificates and derivative instruments with quoted market prices is included in Level 1.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
-
-
B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(10).
-
C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
- (a) Except for those listed in the table below, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, financial assets measured at amortised cost, accounts payable and other payables are approximate to their fair values.

(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
i. The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
Listed shares Market quoted price Closing price
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).
~101~
F-239
-
iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
-
iv. The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate. Structured interest derivative instruments are measured by using appropriate option pricing models (i.e. Black-Scholes model) or other valuation methods, such as Monte Carlo simulation.
-
v. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
-
vi. The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.
-
E. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
-
F. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019:

-
H. The Group is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.

- (4) The Group initially classified time deposits exceeding 3 months as “cash and cash equivalents” and initially classified pledged time deposits as “other current-assets”. However, considering the categories of financial instruments, the Group recorded those time deposits exceeding 3 months and pledged time deposits as “current financial assets at amortised cost” for this period and reclassified accounts of prior period at the same time for comparison. This reclassification had no effect on either earnings (losses) per share for the year ended December 31, 2018 or total assets and total liabilities as of December 31, 2018.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS (TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE)
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd.
Introduction
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. (the“ Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants (please refer to Other Matter section of the report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, and the 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the reports of other independent accountants are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Accuracy and cut-off of freight revenue
Description
Please refer to Note 4(31) for accounting policies on revenue recognition, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on revenue recognition, and Note 6(21) for details of sales revenue.
Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. primarily engages in global container shipping service covering ocean-going and near-sea shipping line, shipping agency business as well as container freight station business. In 2018, freight revenue from contracts with customers was NTD 153,056,483 thousand, representing 90.44% of operating revenue. Since ocean-going shipping often lasts for several days, voyages are sometimes completed after the date of balance sheet. Also, demands for freight are consistently sent by forwarders during voyage. Due to the factors mentioned above, freight revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method for each vessel during the reporting period. Despite the Group conducting business worldwide, its transactions are all in small amounts, whereas the freight rate is subject to fluctuation caused by cargo loading rate as well as market competition. Worldwide shipping agencies use a system to record the transactions by entering data including shipping departure, destination, counterparty, transit time, shipping amounts, and freight price for the Group. Therefore, management could recognize freight revenue in accordance with the data on bill of lading reports generated from the system, accompanied by estimation made from past experience and current cargo loading conditions that the revenue would flow in, and calculate the revenue under the percentageof-completion method. As the process of recording transactions, communicating with agencies, and maintaining the system are done manually, and the estimation of freight revenue are subject to management’s judgement, therefore freight revenue involves high uncertainty and is material to the financial statements. Given the conditions mentioned above, we consider the accuracy of freight revenue and the appropriate use of cut-off by the Group and its investee companies as a key audit matter.
~3~
F-267
How our audit addressed the matter
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
-
Obtained an understanding of the operation and industry of the Group to assess the reasonableness of policies and procedures on revenue recognition, and confirmed whether it is appropriate to the financial statements.
-
Obtained an understanding of the procedures of revenue recognition from booking, picking, billing to receiving. Assessed and tested relevant internal controls, including checking freight items and amounts of delivery information against the approved contracts and booking list. In addition, recalculated the accuracy of freight revenue, and ensured its consistency with the bill of lading report.
-
Obtained the estimated freight income report for vessels underway as of balance sheets date, and inquired with management for the reasonableness of judgement. In addition, checked historical freight revenue for total voyage under each individual vessel, along with comparing with current cargo loading condition as well as actual revenue received after period end to ensure the reasonableness of revenue assumptions.
-
Confirmed the completeness of vessels underway for the reporting period, including tracking the movements of shipments on the internet to ensure the vessels that depart before period end have been taken into consideration in the freight revenue calculation.
-
Verified accuracy of data used in calculating percentage of completion under each voyage, including selecting samples and check whether total shipping days shown on the Company’s website are in agreement with cruise timetable as well as recalculating shipping days (days between departure and balance sheet date), in order to examine the soundness of percentage applied.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Description
Please refer to Note 4(16) for accounting policies on property, plant and equipment, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on impairment of property, plant and equipment, and Note 6(8) for details of property, plant and equipment.
As of December 31, 2018, property, plant and equipment amounted to NTD 117,219,185 thousand, constituting 51.18% of total assets, and ship equipment, transport equipment and cargo handling equipment amounted to NTD 95,517,451 thousand, accounting for approximately 81.49% of total property, plant and equipment. As new ships have been built and put into operation by many carriers around the world, market supply has exceeded demand. Therefore, the market imbalance led to price
~4~
F-268
competition, resulting in unstable profitability for the industry and raising the risk of impairment arising from main operating ship equipment, transport equipment and cargo handling equipment. The valuation of impairment and recoverable amounts are evaluated by the Group using the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash-generating unit compared to the book value. The main assumptions of discount rates used in recoverable amounts, and expected operating revenue growth rates, gross profit, operating profit rates, capital expenditures and discount rates used in future cash flow estimates are subject to management’s judgement and involve high uncertainty, and the estimated results are material to the consolidated financial statements. Given the conditions mentioned above, we consider the impairment assessment of ship equipment, transport equipment and cargo handling equipment in the property, plant and equipment under the Group and its investee companies as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
-
Obtained an understanding and assessed the relevant policies, internal controls and process applied to valuation of asset impairments.
-
Interviewed with management regarding the impairment test report, and assessed the reasonableness of discount rates and the reasonableness of operating revenue, gross profit, operating profit rate, growth rates and capital expenditure that management used in estimating future cash flows by checking actual performance under past operating plans and comparing the performance with industry forecast to evaluate the intention and capability of management.
-
Checked the parameters of the valuation model and recalculated the valuation model for accuracy.
Significant transaction
Description
Please refer to Note 4(32) for accounting policies on business combination and Note 6(31) for details of business combination.
The subsidiary, Evergreen Marine (Hong Kong) Ltd., acquired 100% equity interest of Hatsu Marine (Hong Kong) Limited for a cash consideration of $3,265,341 thousand in December 2018. The fair value of identifiable net assets, inclusive of intangible asset - customer relationship, amounted to $ 3,274,188 thousand and gain from bargain purchase amounted to $ 8,847 thousand. The merger was classified as a significant transaction during the reporting period. The valuation and measurement of the fair value of
~5~
F-269
identifiable net assets based on management’s estimation and the Purchase Price Allocation report issued by the independent expert appraisers involved critical judgements and estimates so as to be material to the financial statements. Given the conditions mentioned above, we consider the allocation of purchase price as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
-
Understood and assessed the purpose of the acquisition, relevant internal controls and process applied to the accounting treatments.
-
Understood and assessed the valuation models that management used in measuring the fair value of the acquisition and the reasonableness of major assumption, inclusive of discount rate and operating revenue, gross profit and operating profit rate that management used in estimating future cash flows.
-
Obtained an understanding of the acquisition price allocation and procedures including acquiring the measurement and disclosure of relevant policy and evaluation procedures relating to acquiree’s identifiable net assets and reviewed the contract and the Purchase Price Allocation report of the acquisition. In addition, examined the date, the consideration and the fair value of acquiree’s identifiable net assets of the acquisition determined by management to ensure the accuracy of the accounting treatment.
Other matter – Report of other independent accountants
We did not audit the financial statements of all the consolidated subsidiaries. Those statements and the information disclosed in Note 13 were performed by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our audit expressed herein is based solely on the reports of the other independent accountants. The statements reflect that total assets in these subsidiaries amounted to NTD 53,765,827 thousand and NTD 52,567,030 thousand, constituting 26.87% and 22.95% of the total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2017, and 2018, respectively. Net operating revenues in the subsidiaries amounted to NTD 55,681,727 thousand and NTD 50,179,774 thousand, constituting 36.98% and 29.65% of the total consolidated net operating revenues of 2017 and 2018 for the years then ended. In addition, we did not audit the financial statements of all the investments accounted for using equity method. Those statements and the information disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our audit expressed herein, insofar as
~6~
F-270
it relates to the amounts included for those investments accounted for using equity method and information disclosed in Note 13 related to these long-term equity investments, is based solely on the reports of other independent accountants. Long-term equity investments in these investee companies amounted to NTD 16,239,361 thousand and NTD 17,158,367 thousand, constituting 8.12% and 7.49% of the total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and comprehensive income (including share of profit or loss and share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method) was NTD 1,892,245 thousand and NTD109,172 thousand constituting 51.28% and 16.69% of the consolidated total comprehensive income and loss for the years then ended, respectively.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited the parent company only financial statement of Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with explanatory paragraph thereon.
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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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.
~7~
F-271
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement 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 auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the 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.
~8~
F-272
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

EVERGREEN MARINE CORPORATION (TAIWAN) LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, except as otherwise indicated)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANISATION
Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. (the “Company”) was established in the Republic of China. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) are mainly engaged in domestic and international marine transportation, shipping agency services, and the distribution of containers. The Company was approved by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB), Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan, R.O.C. to be a public company on November 2, 1982 and was further approved by the SFB to be a listed company on July 6, 1987. The Company’s shares have been publicly traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since September 21, 1987.
2. THE DATE OF AUTHORISATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORISATION
These consolidated financial statements were authorised by the Board of Directors on March 22, 2019.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
(1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”) New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2018 are as follows:
| follows: | |
|---|---|

January 1, 2018 January 1, 2017 January 1, 2018 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment. A. IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’
-
(a) Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortised cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income.
-
(b) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an ‘expected credit loss’ approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognise 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument that has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance). The Group shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.
-
(c) The amended general hedge accounting requirements align hedge accounting more closely with an entity’s risk management strategy. Risk components of non-financial items and a group of items can be designated as hedged items. The standard relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness, removing the 80-125% bright line, and introduces the concept of ‘rebalancing’; while its risk management objective remains unchanged, an entity shall rebalance the hedged item or the hedging instrument for the purpose of maintaining the hedge ratio.
~18~
F-282
-
(d) The Group has elected not to restate prior period financial statements using the modified retrospective approach under IFRS 9. The significant effects of adopting the modified transition as of January 1, 2018 are summarised below:
-
i. In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group expects to reclassify available-for-sale financial assets in the amount of $2,282,619 by increasing financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in the amount of $2,282,619. Additionally, the Group increased retained earnings by $281,074, decreased investments accounted for using equity method by $1,397 and decreased other equity interest by $279,677.
-
ii. In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group expects to reclassify held-to-maturity financial assets of $100,000 by increasing financial assets at amortised cost in the amount of $100,000.
-
iii. In line with the regulations under IFRS 9 on provision for impairment, the Group increased deferred income tax assets by $289, and decreased notes receivable, net by $5, accounts receivable, net by $857, contract assets, net by $4,467, accounts receivable, net - related parties by $52, other current assets by $502, investments accounted for using equity method by $30, retained earnings by $4,393 and non-controlling interest by $1,231.
-
iv. Please refer to Note 12(4) for disclosure in relation to the first time application of IFRS 9.
-
-
B. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ and amendments
-
(a) IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ replaces IAS 11, ‘Construction contracts’, IAS 18, ‘Revenue’ and relevant interpretations. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. A customer obtains control of goods or services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify contracts with customer. Step 2: Identify separate performance obligations in the contract(s). Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
- Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s).
Step 5: Recognise revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
~19~
F-283
- (b) The Group has elected not to restate prior period financial statements and recognised the cumulative effect of initial application as retained earnings at January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach under IFRS 15. The Group applied retrospectively IFRS 15 only to incomplete contracts as of January 1, 2018, by adopting an optional transition expedient. The significant effects of adopting the modified transition as of January 1, 2018 are summarised below:
Presentation of assets and liabilities in relation to contracts with customers
-
In line with IFRS 15 requirements, the Group changed the presentation of certain accounts in the balance sheet as follows:
-
i. Under IFRS 15, contracts whereby services have been rendered but not yet billed are recognised as contract assets, but were previously presented as part of accounts receivable in the balance sheet. As of January 1, 2018, the balance amounted to $1,881,693 (including contract assets and allowance for bad debts amounting to $1,886,160 and $4,467, respectively).
-
ii. Under IFRS 15, liabilities in relation to contracts are recognised as contract liabilities, but were previously presented as advance sales receipts in the balance sheet. As of January 1, 2018, the balance amounted to $2,523,101.
-
iii. Please refer to Note 12(5) for other disclosures in relation to the first time application of IFRS 15.
(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by
the Group
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:
| follows: | |
|---|---|
| Effective date by | |
| International Accounting | |
| New Standards,InterpretationsandAmendments | StandardsBoard |
| Amendments to IFRS 9, ‘Prepayment features with negative | January 1, 2019 |
| compensation’ | |
| IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’ | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 28, ‘Long-term interests in associates and joint | January 1, 2019 |

| IFRIC 23, ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’ | January 1, 2019 |
| Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle | January 1, 2019 |
| Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have | no significant impact to the |
| Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment. |
~20~
F-284
-
A. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
-
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
The Group expects to recognise the lease contract of lessees in line with IFRS 16. However, the Group does not intend to restate the financial statements of prior period (collectively referred herein as the � modified retrospective approach � ). On January 1, 2019, it is expected that rightof-use asset and lease liability will be increased by $60,887,660 and $60,710,151, respectively.
-
B. Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’
-
When a change to a plan take place, the amendments require a company to use the updated assumptions from this remeasurement to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after the change to the plan.
-
C. Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle
-
(a) Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Business combinations’
The amendments clarified that obtaining control of a business that is a joint operation is a business combination achieved in stages. The acquirer should remeasure its previously held interest in the joint operation at fair value at of the acquisition date.
- (b) Amendments to IAS 12, ‘Income taxes’
The amendment clarified that the income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity should be recognised according to where the past transactions or events that generated distributable profits were recognised. These requirements apply to all income tax consequences of dividends.
-
(c) Amendments to IAS 23, ‘Borrowing costs’
-
The amendments clarified that if a specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale, it becomes part of general borrowings.

F-285
(3) Effect of IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC are as follows:
| endorsed by the FSC are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| New Standards,Interpretations andAmendments | Effective date by International Accounting StandardsBoard |
| Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure Initiative-Definition of Material’ Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Definition of a business’ Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, ‘Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture’ IFRS 17, ‘Insurance contracts’ |
January 1, 2020 January 1, 2020 To be determined by International Accounting Standards Board January 1, 2021 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
- A. Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure Initiative-Definition of Material’
The amendments clarify the definition of material that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.
- B. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, ‘Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture’
The amendments resolve a current inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28. The gain or loss resulting from a transaction that involves sales or contribution of assets between an investor and its associates or joint ventures is recognised either in full or partially depending on the nature of the assets sold or contributed:
-
(a) If sales or contributions of assets constitute a ‘business’ , the full gain or loss is recognized;
-
(b) If sales or contributions of assets do not constitute a ‘business’ , the partial gain or loss is recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement

~22~
F-286
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income /Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
-
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
-
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
-
C. In adopting IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 effective January 1, 2018, the Group has elected to apply modified retrospective approach whereby the cumulative impact of the adoption was recognised as retained earnings or other equity as of January 1, 2018 and the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 were not restated. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 were prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 39 (‘IAS 39’), International Accounting Standard 11 (‘IAS 11’), International Accounting Standard 18 (‘IAS 18’) and related financial reporting interpretations. Please refer to Notes 12(4) and (5) for details of significant accounting policies and details of significant accounts.

(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
-
~23~
F-287
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

(4) Foreign currency translation
-
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
-
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
~33~
F-297
- (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
- (c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
- (d) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
-
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
-
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits with original maturities of three months or less that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
~34~
F-298
-
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
-
(8) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments which meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
-
(a) The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as other income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
-
(b) Except for the recognition of impairment loss, interest income and gain or loss on foreign exchange which are recognised in profit or loss, the changes in fair value of debt instruments are taken through other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
-
~35~
F-299
(9) Financial assets at amortised cost
-
A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
-
(10) Notes, accounts and other receivables
-
A. Notes and account receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services. Receivables arising from transactions other than the sale of goods or service are classified as other receivables.
-
B. The short-term notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(11) Impairment of financial assets
For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(12) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
(13) Operating leases (lessor)
Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
~36~
F-300
(14) Inventories
Inventories refer to fuel inventories and steel inventories. Fuel inventories are physically measured by the crew of each ship and reported back to the Head Office through telegraph for recording purposes at balance sheet date. Valuation of inventories is based on the exchange rate prevailing at balance sheet date.
The perpetual inventory system is adopted for steel inventory recognition. Steel inventories are stated at cost. The cost is determined using the weighted-average method. At the end of period, inventories are evaluated at the lower of cost or net realisable value, and the individual item approach is used in the comparison of cost and net realisable value. The calculation of net realisable value should be based on the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, net of estimated costs of completion and estimated selling expenses.
-
(15) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates
-
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
-
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
C. When changes in an associate’s equity that are not recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes not affecting the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises the Group’s share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
-
D. Unrealised gains and loss on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for using equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously
~37~
F-301
recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
-
F. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
-
G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
-
H. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it still retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
-
(16) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
-
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
~38~
F-302
Buildings 20 ~ 135 years Loading and unloading equipment 5 ~ 20 years
Ships 18 ~ 25 years Transportation equipment 5 ~ 10 years Lease assets 2 ~ 90 years Other equipment 2 ~ 15 years
(17) Leased assets/ operating leases (lessee)
-
A. Based on the terms of a lease contract, a lease is classified as a finance lease if the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset.
-
(a) A finance lease is recognised as an asset and a liability at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments.
-
(b) The minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charges are allocated to each period over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
-
(c) Property, plant and equipment held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. If there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease, the asset shall be depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
-
B. Payments made under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
C. The accounting treatment of sale and leaseback transactions depends on the substance of the transaction. If sale and finance leaseback is in substance a financing transaction, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value of the asset is deferred and amortised to the income statement over the lease term. If the sale price is below the fair value, the difference between sale price and carrying amount should be recognised immediately except that, if a loss arising is compensated by future rent at below market price, it should be deferred and amortised in proportion to the rent payments over the period for which the asset is expected to be used. If the sale price is above the fair value, the excess of proceeds over fair value should be deferred and amortised over the period for which the asset is expected to be used.
(18) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 ~ 60 years.
~39~
F-303
(19) Intangible assets
A. Computer software
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years.
- B. Goodwill
Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
- C. Customer relationship
Customer relationship arises from the business combination is measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Customer relationship has a finite useful life and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 8.05 to 10 years.
- (20) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
-
(21) Borrowings
-
A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and shortterm loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
-
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
-
(22) Accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
~40~
F-304
(23) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition:
-
(a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
-
(b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
-
(c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management policy.
-
B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
(24) Bonds payable
Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Group are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised to profit or loss over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’.
(25) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
(26) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(27) Hedge accounting
-
A. At the inception of the hedging relationship, there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the Group’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. That documentation shall include identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Group will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements.
-
B. The Group designates the hedging relationship as follows: Cash flow hedge:
A hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.
~41~
F-305
-
C. Cash flow hedges
-
(a)The cash flow hedge reserve associated with the hedged item is adjusted to the lower of the following (in absolute amounts):
-
i. the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; and
-
ii. the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge.
-
-
(b)The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c)The amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve in accordance with (a) is accounted for as follows:
-
i. If a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, the Group shall remove that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve and include it directly in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or liability.
-
ii. For cash flow hedges other than those covered by item i. above, that amount shall be reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.
-
iii. If that amount is a loss and the Group expects that all or a portion of that loss will not be recovered in one or more future periods, it shall immediately reclassify the amount that is not expected to be recovered into profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
-
-
(d) When the hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated, exercised or when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria, if the forecast transaction is still expected to occur, the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve shall remain in the cash flow hedge reserve until the forecast transaction occurs; if the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the amount shall be immediately reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
(28) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
~42~
F-306
-
(b) Defined benefit plans
-
i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
-
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
- C. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of employment as a result from either the Group’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group recognises expense as it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognises relating restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present value.
- D. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
(29) Income tax
- A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
~43~
F-307
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
-
F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
-
(30) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
~44~
F-308
(31) Revenue recognition
A. Sales of goods
-
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account of business tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognised when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.
-
B. Sales of services
-
Revenue from delivering services is recognised under the percentage-of-completion method when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of a service contract is measured by the percentage of the actual services performed as of the financial reporting date to the total services to be performed. If the outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue should be recognised only to the extent that contract costs incurred are likely to be recoverable.
-
C. Rental revenue
The Group leases ships and shipping spaces under IAS 17, ‘Leases’. Lease assets are classified as finance leases or operating leases based on the transferred proportion of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset, and recognised in revenue over the lease term.
(32) Business combinations
- A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisitionrelated costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the Group measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be measured at the acquisition-date fair value.
~45~
F-309
-
B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquiree recognised and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
-
(33) Operating segments
-
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker. The Chief Operating Decision-Maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1)Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
None.
(2)Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
-
A. Revenue recognition
-
Revenue from delivering services and related costs are recognised under the percentage-ofcompletion method when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of a service contract is measured by the percentage of the actual services performed as of the financial reporting date to the total services to be performed.
-
B. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill)
The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilized and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.
As of December 31, 2018, the Group recognised property, plant, equipment amounting to $117,219,185.

B. Financial risk management policies
-
(a) The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.
-
(b) Risk management is carried out by the Group’s Finance Department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Group’s Finance Department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s Operating Department. The Board of Directors provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
-
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
-
i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and GBP. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investment in foreign operations.
-
ii. The Group’s management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Group’s Finance Department. To manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, entities in the Group use forward foreign exchange contracts, transacted with Group’s Finance Department. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities are denominated in a foreign currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
-
iii. The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: USD, GBP, EUR, CNY and others). The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Price risk
-
i. The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Group and classified on the consolidated balance sheet either as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
-
ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, equity would have increased/decreased by $22,364 and $16,071 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
- i. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD, USD and GBP.
~96~
F-360
-
ii. At December 31, 2017 and 2018, if interest rates on borrowings had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 would have been $702,141 and $866,151 lower/higher, respectively, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms.
-
ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
-
iii. The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:
-
If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
iv. If the default rate of an investment target exceeds 0.03%, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
v. The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable in accordance with the nature of segments. The Group applies the modified approach using probability of default to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.
-
vi. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights. On December 31, 2018, the Group has no written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures.
-
vii. The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties) and contract assets. On December 31, 2018, the loss rate methodology is as follows:
| At December 31, 2018 Expected loss rate Total book value Loss allowance |
Individual 100% 269,567 $ 269,567 $ |
Group 0.17% 17,945,460 $ 30,251 $ |

(c) Liquidity risk
-
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group’s Finance Department. Group’s Finance Department monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
-
ii. The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities.

- iii. The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount will be significantly different.
(3) Fair value estimation
-
A.The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active if it meets all the following conditions: the items traded in the market are homogeneous; willing buyers and sellers can normally be found at any time; and prices are available to the public. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks, beneficiary certificates and derivative instruments with quoted market prices is included in Level.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
-
B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(9).
-
C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
-
(a) Except for those listed in the table below, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets, accounts payable and other payables are approximate to their fair values.

Listed shares Market quoted price Closing price
~100~
F-364
-
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).
-
iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
-
iv. The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate. Structured interest derivative instruments are measured by using appropriate option pricing models (i.e. Black-Scholes model) or other valuation methods, such as Monte Carlo simulation.
-
v. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
-
vi. The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.
-
E. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

-
H. The Group is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.

(4) Effects on initial application of IFRS 9 and information on application of IAS 39 in 2017
-
A. Summaries of adopting significant accounting policies in 2017:
-
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
i. They are financial assets held for trading or financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:
-
(i) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
-
(ii) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
-
(iii)They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
-
-
ii. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
iii. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.
-
-
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets
-
i. They are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.
-

-
iii. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
(c) Held-to-maturity financial assets
-
i. They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity date that the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity other than those that meet the definition of loans and receivables and those that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale on initial recognition.
-
ii. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, held-to-maturity financial assets are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
iii. They are initially recognised at fair value on the trade date plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Amortisation of a premium or a discount on such assets is recognised in profit or loss.
-
(d) Notes, accounts and other receivables
-
Notes and accounts receivable are claims resulting from the sale of goods or services. Receivables arising from transactions other than the sale of goods or services are classified as other receivables. Notes, accounts and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(e) Impairment of financial assets
-
i. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
-
ii. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:
-
(i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
-
(ii) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
(iii) The Group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granted the borrower a concession that a lender would not otherwise consider;
-
(iv) It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
-
~106~
F-370
-
(v) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
-
(vi) Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group;
-
(vii) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered; or
-
(viii) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
-
iii. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:
-
(i) Financial assets measured at cost
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
- (ii) Available-for-sale financial assets
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss, and is reclassified from ‘other comprehensive income’ to ‘profit or loss’. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an investment in a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, such impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
~107~
F-371
-
(f) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
-
i. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Any changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
-
ii. The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).
-
iii. The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
-
iv. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as current assets or liabilities.
-
v. Cash flow hedge
-
(i) The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
-
(ii) Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified into profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘finance costs’. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in other comprehensive income are reclassified into profit or loss in the periods when the asset acquired or the liability assumed affects profit or loss. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognised in operating costs.
-
(iii) When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold, cancelled or executed, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in other comprehensive income at that time remains in other comprehensive income. When a forecast transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged forecast cash flow affects profit or loss.

-
(a) Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of 'A' are accepted.
-
(b) For the year ended December 31, 2017, no credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods, and management does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

-
A. The significant accounting policies applied on revenue recognition for the year ended December 31, 2017 are set out below.
-
(a) Sales of goods
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account of business tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognised when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated
~111~
F-375
with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.
- (b) Sales of services
Revenue from delivering services is recognised under the percentage-of-completion method when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of a service contract is measured by the percentage of the actual services performed as of the financial reporting date to the total services to be performed. If the outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue should be recognised only to the extent that contract costs incurred are likely to be recoverable.
- B. The revenue of the Group recognised by using above accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2017 are as follows:

– Appendix A The Securities Market of the ROC
The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents which have not been prepared or independently verified by us, the Initial Purchasers or any of our respective affiliates or advisors in connection with this Offering.
In September 1960, the ROC government established the ROC Securities and Exchange Commission to supervise and control all aspects of the existing domestic securities market and the TWSE began to take shape soon thereafter. In the 1970s and the early 1980s, the ROC government implemented a number of steps designed to upgrade the quality and importance of the ROC securities markets, such as encouraging listing on the TWSE and establishing an over-the-counter securities exchange. In the mid-1980s, the ROC government began to revise its laws and regulations in a manner designed to facilitate the gradual internationalization of the ROC securities markets. In 1997, the ROC Securities and Exchange Commission was renamed the ROC Securities and Futures Commission. Effective July 1, 2004, the ROC Securities and Futures Commission has been renamed the ROC Securities and Futures Bureau of the FSC, and its supervisory authority has been transferred from the Ministry of Finance to the FSC.
The Taiwan Stock Exchange
In 1961, the ROC SFB established the TWSE to provide a marketplace for securities trading. The TWSE is a corporation owned by government-controlled and privately owned banks and enterprises. The TWSE is independent of the entities transacting business through it, each of which pays to the TWSE a user’s fee. Subject to limited exceptions, all transactions in listed securities by brokers, traders and integrated securities firms must be made through the TWSE.
The TWSE commenced operations in 1962. During the early 1980s, the ROC SFB actively encouraged new listings on the TWSE and the number of listed companies has grown from 119 in 1983 to 946 as of August 31, 2020. As of August 31, 2020, the market capitalization of companies listed on the TWSE was approximately NT$38.3 trillion.
Historically, ROC companies have listed only shares and bonds on the TWSE. However, the ROC SFB has encouraged companies to list other types of securities. In 1988, the Ministry of Finance permitted the issuance of ROC’s first exchangeable bonds. Since 1989, there have been offerings of domestic convertible bonds and convertible preferred shares. In addition, beneficiary units evidencing beneficiary interests in closed-end investment funds and bonds issued by super-national financial institutions are also listed on the TWSE. The ROC SFB also has promulgated regulations which permit foreign issuers to list certain securities on the TWSE.
The TWSE considers the following factors when evaluating a company for listing:
-
the number and distribution of stockholders, including the diversification of such stockholders;
-
length of time in business;
-
amount of paid-in capital; and
-
profitability.
However, special listing criteria apply to technology companies and key businesses that are engaged in the national economic development.

Price Limits, Commissions, Transaction Tax and Other Matters
The TWSE has placed limits on block trading and on the range of daily price movements. According to the TWSE’s block trading guidelines, transactions in one class of securities that involve 500 or more trading lots or trading amounts exceeding NT$15 million, and transactions involving five or more different classes of securities and trading amounts exceeding NT$15 million must be registered and executed in accordance with the guidelines. Fluctuations in the price of stock traded on the TWSE are currently subject to a restriction of 10% above and below the previous day closing price (or reference price set by the TWSE if the previous day closing price is not available because of lack of trading activity). However, these restrictions have been modified from time to time by the ROC SFB based on market conditions. The ROC SFB has announced that limitations on price fluctuations may be relaxed with a view to eventually abolish all share price fluctuation controls. Brokerage commission can be set at any rate of the transaction price, provided that any rate exceeding 0.1425% shall be reported to the TWSE and notified to the client in advance. A securities transaction tax, currently levied at 0.3% of the transaction price, is payable by the seller of equity securities. Such securities transaction taxes are withheld at the time of the transaction giving rise to such tax. Sales of shares of companies listed on the TWSE are currently sold in round lots of 1,000 shares. Investors who desire to sell less than 1,000 shares of a listed company occasionally experience delays in effecting such sales.
A-2
Regulation and Supervision
The ROC SFB has extensive regulatory authority over public companies. Public companies are generally required to obtain the deemed approval from the ROC SFB for all securities offerings. The ROC SFB has promulgated regulations requiring, unless otherwise exempted, periodic reporting of financial and operating information by all public companies. In addition, the ROC SFB establishes standards for financial reporting and carries out licensing and supervision of participants in the ROC securities market.
The ROC SFB has responsibility for implementing ROC Securities and Exchange Law and for overall administration of governmental policies in the ROC securities market. It has extensive regulatory authority over the offering, issuance and trading of securities. In addition, ROC Securities and Exchange Law specifically empowers the ROC SFB to promulgate necessary rules. ROC Securities and Exchange Law prohibits market manipulation. For example, it permits a ROC public company to recover short-swing trading profits made through purchases and sales within six months by directors, managerial personnel, supervisors, as well as the spouses, minor children and nominees of these parties, and stockholders (together with their spouses, minor children and nominees) who hold more than 10% of the shares of the company. ROC Securities and Exchange Law prohibits trading by “insiders” based on non-public information that materially affects share price movement prior to publication of such information and within 18 hours after publication of such information. “Insiders” include:
-
directors, supervisors, managers, as well as the spouses, minor children and nominees of these parties, and stockholders (together with their spouses, minor children and nominees) who hold more than 10% of a ROC public company’s shares and any individual designated by a governmental or corporate director or supervisor to act on its behalf;
-
any person who has learned material, non-public information due to an occupational or controlling relationship with a ROC public company;
-
any person who has discharged from the status or position in the first and second bullet points for not more than six months; and
-
any person who has learned material, non-public information from any of the above.
Sanctions include imprisonment. In addition, damages may be awarded to persons injured by the transaction. ROC Securities and Exchange Law also imposes criminal liability on certified public accountants and lawyers who make false certifications in their examination and audit of a company’s contracts, reports and other documents related to securities transactions. The ROC SFB regulations require that financial reports of listed companies be audited by accounting firms consisting of at least three certified public accountants and be signed by at least two certified public accountants.
The ROC SFB does not have criminal or civil enforcement powers under ROC Securities and Exchange Law. Criminal actions may be pursued only by government prosecutors. Civil actions may only be brought by plaintiffs who assert that they have suffered damages. The ROC SFB is empowered to curb abuses and violations of laws and regulations only through administrative measures including:
-
issuance of warnings;
-
temporary suspension of operation;
-
imposition of administrative fines; and
-
revocation of licenses.
In addition to providing a market for securities trading, the TWSE reviews applications by ROC issuers to list securities on the TWSE. If issuers of listed securities violate laws and regulations or encounter significant difficulties, the TWSE may, with the approval of the ROC SFB, delist the securities of these issuers.

– Appendix B Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in the ROC
The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents which have not been prepared or independently verified by us, the Initial Purchasers or any of our respective affiliates or advisors in connection with this Offering.
Foreign Investment
Foreign investments in ROC securities markets were once restricted. Since 1983, the ROC government has adopted, enacted and amended laws and regulations to enable investment in ROC securities markets by oversea Chinese, foreign nationals, and PRC nationals. Currently, the Regulations Governing Investment in Securities by Overseas Chinese and Foreign Nationals, or the Securities Investment Regulations for Foreign Investors, announced on May 26, 1983 and last amended on February 11, 2014, and the Regulations Governing Securities Investment and Futures Trading in Taiwan by Mainland Area Investors, or the Securities Investment Regulations for PRC Nationals, announced on April 30, 2009 and last amended on October 6, 2010, are the two major regulations governing foreign investment in ROC securities. Foreign investors who are not PRC nationals shall follow the Securities Investment Regulations for Foreign Investors for their respective investment in ROC securities.
Under the Securities Investment Regulations for Foreign Investors, investors are classified into “Offshore General Foreign Investors,” “Onshore General Foreign Investors,” “Offshore Foreign Institutional Investors” and “Onshore Foreign Institutional Investors,” based upon whether they are institutional investors or natural persons, and whether they reside in the ROC (“Offshore General Foreign Investors” and “Offshore Foreign Institutional Investors,” hereafter “Offshore Investor”; Onshore General Foreign Investors” and “Onshore Foreign Institutional Investors,” hereafter “Onshore Investor”). Foreign investors are required to register with the TWSE to trade securities listed on TWSE, and the TWSE may withdraw or rescind the registration if the application documents submitted by foreign investors are untrue or incomplete, or if any material violation of the relevant regulations exists. Offshore investors are required to appoint their local agent or nominee to act on their behalf in Taiwan.
An Offshore Investor may only invest in ROC securities as permitted by the FSC such as shares, certificates of bond conversion entitlement, and Taiwan Depositary Receipts publicly or privately offered by TWSE-listed, TPEx-listed or emerging market-listed companies, beneficiary certificates issued by securities investment trusts, government bonds, bank debentures, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, bonds with warrant, beneficiary securities or asset-backed securities issued by the special purpose trust or special purpose vehicle and warrants. The FSC may set a cap for the total investment amount of offshore investors, after consulting with the CBC; provided that the FSC lifted such cap in 2008.
In the past, PRC persons were prohibited from investing, whether directly or indirectly, in ROC securities. The Securities Investment Regulations for PRC Nationals promulgated in 2009 (as amended in 2010) allow PRC nationals and institutional investors to make investment in ROC securities, if they are qualified for any of the following categories: (i) qualified domestic institutional investors approved by the PRC government, also known as “QDIIs”; (ii) PRC residents who are employees of a TWSE-listed or TPEx listed company and thereupon granted securities; (iii) companies incorporated under the laws of PRC or PRC residents who are the stockholders of a foreign company whose shares or depositary receipts are listed and traded on the TWSE or TPEx; or (iv) other categories as permitted by the competent authority. Subject to the requirements and restrictions set forth below, a PRC investor may invest in TWSE-listed or TPEx-listed securities, beneficiary certificates issued by securities investment trusts, government bonds, bank debentures, corporate bonds issued by public companies, beneficiary securities or asset-backed securities issued by the special purpose trust or special purpose vehicle, warrants and other securities as permitted by the FSC.
- PRC investors are required to appoint their agent or nominee in Taiwan for opening a securities trading account.
B-1
-
PRC investors are required to appoint a custodian permitted by the competent authority to handle the custody of funds and certificates related to securities.
-
In exercising the voting rights of the shares of a TWSE-listed or TPEx-listed company, unless otherwise permitted by laws and regulations, PRC investors may not substantially control or effect the operation and management of the company.
-
The amount of investment remittance for each QDII is capped at US$100 million, and the total amount remitted into Taiwan by all QDIIs shall not exceed US$500 million.
-
The PRC investor may not exceed the PRC ownership limit imposed by the Taiwan competent authority.
Depositary Receipts
In April 1992, the ROC Securities and Futures Commission (later reformed and known as the Securities and Futures Bureau of the FSC) enacted regulations permitting ROC companies with securities listed on the TWSE, with the prior approval of the FSC, to sponsor the issue and sale to foreign investors of depositary receipts. Depositary receipts represent deposited shares of ROC companies. In December 1994, the ROC Ministry of Finance allowed companies whose shares are traded on the TPEx or listed on the TWSE, upon approval of the FSC, to sponsor the issue and sale of depositary receipts.
After depositary receipts are issued initially by a foreign depositary, a holder of depositary receipts may request the foreign depositary to cause the underlying shares (1) to be sold in the ROC, with the proceeds from that sale distributed to the depositary receipt holder after deducting tax payments and relevant costs and expenses, or (2) to be withdrawn from the depositary receipt facility and transferred to the depositary receipt holder.
Under existing laws and regulations relating to foreign exchange control, a depositary may, without obtaining further approvals from the CBC or any other governmental authority or agency of the ROC, convert NT Dollars into other currencies, including US Dollars, in respect of the following: proceeds of the sale of shares represented by depositary receipts, proceeds of the sale of shares received as stock dividends which have been deposited into the depositary receipt facility and any cash dividends or cash distributions received. In addition, a depositary, also without any of these approvals, may convert inward remittances of payments into NT Dollars for purchases of underlying shares for deposit into the depositary receipt facility against the creation of additional depositary receipts. However, a depositary may be required to obtain foreign exchange approval from the CBC on a payment-bypayment basis for conversion from NT Dollars into other currencies relating to the sale of subscription rights for new shares. Proceeds from the sale of any underlying shares by holders of depositary receipts withdrawn from the depositary receipt facility may be converted into other currencies without obtaining CBC approval.
Proceeds from sale of the underlying shares withdrawn from the depositary receipt facility may be used for reinvestment in the TWSE, the TPEx, or stock of emerging market companies, subject to limitations and restrictions set forth in “Foreign Investment” above (as applicable).
Overseas Corporate Bonds
Since 1989, the ROC Securities and Futures Commission has approved a series of overseas bonds issued by ROC companies listed on the TWSE in offerings outside the ROC. Under current ROC law and subject to the FSC approval, overseas corporate bonds can be (i) exchanged or converted by bondholders, other than persons of the PRC except for QDIIs, into shares of ROC companies; or (ii) converted into or exchanged for depositary receipts issued by the same ROC company or by the issuing company of the exchange shares, in the case of exchangeable bonds. The relevant regulations also permit ROC companies attaining public company status to issue corporate bonds in offerings outside the ROC. Proceeds from the sale of the shares converted from overseas convertible bonds may be used for reinvestment in securities listed on the TWSE or traded on the TPEx, subject to limitations and restrictions set for in “Foreign Investment” section above (as applicable).
B-2
According to the Securities Investment Regulations for Foreign Investors, a non-resident foreign converting bondholder, when exercising the conversion right to convert bonds into shares of a ROC company, will be required to register with the TWSE, and to appoint a local agent (with such qualifications provided by the FSC) to open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm, pay ROC taxes, remit funds, exercise stockholders’ rights and perform such other matters as may be designated by such converting bondholder on behalf of and as agent for such converting bondholder. The converting holder is also required to appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities and any cash proceeds in safekeeping, to make confirmation to settle trades, and to report all relevant information. Additionally, such converting holder is required to appoint a tax guarantor for filing tax returns and making tax payments.
According to the Securities Investment Regulations for PRC Nationals, a PRC holder of overseas convertible bonds issued by a ROC company may not convert or exchange such convertible into shares unless (i) it is a qualified QDII, (ii) the businesses of the issuer are in the Positive List promulgated by the MOEA, (iii) the shares converted from overseas convertible bonds, in general, would not, jointly with the other PRC stockholders of the issuer, account for 10% or more of the issuer’s shares.
Unless otherwise limited by the CBC, a ROC company may, without obtaining further approval from the CBC or any other government authority of the ROC, convert NT Dollars to other non-ROC currencies, including US Dollars, for making payments in respect of proceeds of the redemption of the bonds or repayment of principal of and interest on the bonds. A non-ROC converting bondholder may, through its local agent and without obtaining prior approval from the CBC, convert into foreign currencies net proceeds realized from the sale of certificates of bond conversion entitlement, shares or any stock dividends relating to such shares, or any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of such shares, as well as inward remittance of subscription payments in respect of rights offerings. However, a converting bondholder must obtain prior approval from the CBC on a paymentby-payment basis for conversion from NT Dollars into other currencies in respect of the proceeds from the sale of subscription rights for newly issued Shares.
Other Foreign Investment
In addition to investments permitted under the Regulations, foreign investors (other than foreign investors who have registered with the TWSE for making investments in the ROC securities market) who wish to make direct investments in the shares of ROC companies are required to submit a Foreign Investment Approval application to the Investment Commission of the ROC Ministry of Economic Affairs or other government authority. The Investment Commission or such other government authority reviews each Foreign Investment Approval application and approves or disapproves each application after consultation with other governmental agencies (such as the CBC and the FSC).
Under current law, any non-ROC person possessing a Foreign Investment Approval may remit capital for the approved investment and is entitled to repatriate annual net profits, interest and cash dividends attributable to such investment. Dividends attributable to such investment, investment capital and capital gains attributable to such investment may be repatriated after approvals of the Investment Commission or other authorities have been obtained.
In addition to the general restriction against investment by non-ROC persons in ROC securities markets, non-ROC persons (except in certain limited cases) are currently prohibited from investing in certain industries in the ROC pursuant to a Negative List, as amended by the Executive Yuan. The prohibition on foreign investment in the prohibited industries specified in the Negative List is absolute in the absence of specific exemption from the application of the Negative List. Pursuant to the Negative List, certain other industries are restricted so that non-ROC persons (except in certain limited cases) may invest in such industries only up to a specified level and with the specific approval of the relevant competent authority which is responsible for enforcing the relevant legislation which the Negative List is intended to implement.
B-3
Exchange Controls
The Foreign Exchange Control Statute and regulations provide that all foreign exchange transactions must be executed by banks designated to handle such business by the FSC and by the CBC. Current regulations favor trade-related foreign exchange transactions and Foreign Investment Approval investments.
Consequently, foreign currency earned from exports of merchandise and services may now be retained and used freely by exporters, and all foreign currency needed for the importation of merchandise and services may be purchased freely from the designed foreign exchange banks.
Trade aside, ROC companies and resident individuals may, without foreign exchange approval, remit outside the ROC foreign currency of up to US$50,000,000 (or its equivalent) and US$5,000,000 (or its equivalent) respectively in each calendar year. In addition, ROC companies and resident individuals may, without foreign exchange approval, remit into the ROC foreign currency of up to US$50,000,000 (or its equivalent) and US$5,000,000 (or its equivalent) respectively in each calendar year. Furthermore, any remittance of foreign currency into the ROC by an ROC company or resident individual in a year will be offset by the amount remitted out of the ROC by the company or individual (as applicable) within its annual quota and will not use up its annual inward remittance quota to the extent of such offset.
