Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Eastern Media International Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Eastern Media International Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and 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 auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (" the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of partial companies, associates of the Group, which represented investments in other entities accounted for using the equity method. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for partial companies, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The investments in partial companies accounted for using the equity method constituting 15.14% and 12.03% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the related share of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method constituting 65.85% and (7.26)% of consolidated total profit before tax for the years then ended, respectively.

Eastern Media International Corporation has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with other matters paragraph and unqualified opinion with emphasis paragraph and other matter paragraph respectively.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance

4

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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Revenue recognition

Please refer to Note 4r "Revenue recognition" for accounting policy related to revenue recognition, and Note 30 "Revenue from contracts with customers" to the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

Major of the operating revenue sources of the Group are the services of warehousing, media advertising, and pet merchandise sales. The impact of revenue recognition on financial report is significant. Therefore, revenue recognition is one of the key matters in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In response to the risk mentioned above, we planned to perform the following audit procedures: understanding the sales and collection cycle, and sampling to test the effectiveness of manual control and internal control. Additionally, we would perform test of detail on revenue; as well as perform sales cut off test on the periods before and after the balance sheet date by inspecting relevant documents of sales transactions to determine whether sales had been appropriately recognized.

  1. Right of use assets impairment

Please refer to Note 4o "Leases " and Note 4q “Impairment of non-financial assets” for accounting policy related to right-of-use assets impairment, and Note 18 " Right-of-use assets" to the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

The right-of-use assets of the Group constituted 39.60% of its consolidated assets. The assets mentioned above is likely to be influenced by the government policies and economic environments, which may result in the recoverability of the assets valued with discounted cash flow to be highly uncertain. Therefore, right-of-use assets impairment is one of the key matters in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In response to the risk mentioned above, we have performed the following audit procedures: evaluating the consistency of discounted cash flow and the future operating plans; verifying the assumptions made by the management according to (i) external information, (ii) understanding of the Group, and (iii) relative business information; evaluating the ratios such as the growth rate, discount rate, gross profit rate, etc. to determine whether they were adopted properly.

  • 3.The investments accounted of using equity method impairment

  • Please refer to Note 4m " Investment in associates " and Note 4q “Impairment of non-financial assets” for accounting policy related to the investments accounted of using equity method impairment, and Note 13 " investments accounted for using equity method " to the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

The investments accounted of using equity method of the Group amounted to $2,409,481 thousand, constituting 15.14% of its consolidated assets. The evaluation of the impairment on December 31 is significant to the consolidated financial statements. There are risks that the

5

assumption of the financial performance and cash flows related to the Group’s associates which Management uses remains a highly uncertainty. This risk may affect the recoverability of the asset mentioned above. Therefore, the evaluation of the investments accounted of using equity method impairment is one of the key matters in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In response to the risk mentioned above, we planned to perform the following audit procedures: obtaining the information on which the management relied to make assumptions and evaluations for the report made by external expert; engaging evaluation experts to assess the appropriateness of the evaluation methods and assumptions used by them, including the discount rate and the forecast of future cash flows; comparing the forecasted and historical data, past forecasts and actual conditions; evaluating the reasonableness of past management’s estimates.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

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

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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

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

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

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit

6

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

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

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

  3. 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.

  4. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the group 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 auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Shih Chin Chih and Hsin-Ting Huang.

EASTERN MEDIA INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For The Years Ended December 31, 2021 And 2020 (Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise)

1. Company history

Eastern Media International Corporation (the “Company”) was established on May 14, 1975 to promote the private port silo business, and its warehouse officially opened in 1980 with the completion of its silo. In order to enhance the operating performance and expand the business scope, the Company merged with Grain Union Transport Ltd. on May 15, 1989. The Company’s shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, classified in the shipping category, on September 25, 1995. As the proportion of revenue from shipping has declined years by years, and the proportion of revenue from trading has increased to more than 50% of overall revenue, the Company’ s stocks have changed classification to the retail sales category. The transfer was approved by the Taiwan Stock Exchange on July 1, 2014. In June 2019, the Group terminated all of the lease contracts of its shipping operations in advance. Since none of the operating segments owns more than 50% of overall revenue, the Company’s stocks have changed classification to other category, which was approved by the Taiwan Stock Exchange on June 1, 2021.

The Company's business development is mainly based on diversification. In addition to land development, grain trading and consumer product development and sales, the Company has diversified into new businesses such as cross-strait trade platform and multimedia shopping through its investment in subsidiaries since 2009.

The main businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) include forwarding, loading and unloading cargo onto/from ships, the handling and operation of wharf and transit shed facilities, selling pet food and supplies, providing pet beauty service, video advertising services and the production of related shows.

2. Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 23, 2022.

3. New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted

  • a. The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.

The details of impact on the Group s adoption of the new amendments beginning January 1, 2021 are as follows

  • (a) Amendments to IFRS 16“Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond June 30, 2021”

  • A one-year extension to the practical expedient is available to lessees when accounting for COVID-19-related rent concessions reduce the lease payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022. The related accounting policy is explained in Note 4o.

The Group has elected to apply the amendments beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption. No adjustment was made upon the initial application of the amendments. The amounts recognized in profit or loss for the year ended December

15

31, 2021 was $248,391.

  • (b) Other amendments

     - The following new amendments, effective January 1, 2021, do not have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements:
    
    • Amendments to IFRS 4 “Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9”

    • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39, IFRS7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Phase 2”

  • b.

  • The impact of IFRS issued by the FSC but not yet effective

The Group assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2022, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment—Proceeds before Intended Use”

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

  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

  • c. The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The Group is evaluating the impact of its initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations on its consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.

The Group does not expect the following other new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • 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” and amendments to IFRS 17 “ Insurance Contracts”

  • Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”

  • Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

  • Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

  • • Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction”

4. Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

a. Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “the Regulations”) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (hereinafter referred to as “IFRS endorsed by the FSC”).

16

b. Basis of consolidation

  • (a) Basis of preparation

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

  • (a-1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • (a-2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

  • (a-3) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation, limited as explained in Note 4u,

  • (b) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Group entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars (NTD), which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in NTD has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

c. Basis of consolidation

  • (a) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, 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.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from Intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group attributes the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non controlling interests, even if this results in the non controlling interests having a deficit balance.

The Group prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attribute it to the owners of the parent.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost, with the resulting gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss. The Group recognizes as gain or loss in profit or loss the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration received as well as any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost; and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill), liabilities of the subsidiary

17

as well as any related non-controlling interests at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost, as gain or loss in profit or loss. When the Group loses control of its subsidiary, it accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if it had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

8.51% and 11.49% of the interests in December, 2021 and January, 2022, respectively.

(c) Subsidiaries excluded from the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • d. Foreign currencies

  • (a) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to fair value through other comprehensive income equity investment, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(b) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future. Exchange differences arising thereon form part of the net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • e. Classification of current and non current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria and all other assets are classified as non-current.

  • (a) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  • (b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (c) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (d)The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged

20

or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  • (a) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  • (b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (d) The Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Since the operating cycles of EILF and TKLF are more than one year, the classification of balance sheet accounts depends on whether their realization or settlement will be within or beyond one year from the balance sheet date.

  • f. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

g. Financial instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(a) Financial assets

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

On initial recognition, financial assets are classified into the following categories: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

(a-1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL

21

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

(a-2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

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

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

(a-3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

22

(a-4) Business model assessment

The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes

  • the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;

  • how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management;

  • the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;

  • how managers of the business are compensated e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and

  • the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, and are consistent with the Group’s continuing recognition of the assets.

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

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

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

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers

  • contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows

  • terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features

  • prepayment and extension features and

  • terms that limit the Group s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non recourse features).

(a-6) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on

23

financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and trade receivable, other receivable, refundable deposits and other financial assets).

The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL), except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL

  • debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date and

  • other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.

The Group considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘investment grade which is considered to be BBB or higher per Standard & Poor’s, Baa3 or higher per Moody’s or twA or higher per Taiwan Ratings.

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

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full.

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

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

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

ECLs are a probabilityweighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

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

24

observable data

  • significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer

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

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

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

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

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset. The Group recognizes the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss.

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

(a-7) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

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

(b) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

(b-1) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also

25

recognized in profit or loss.

(b-2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

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

(b-3) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

h. Program to be broadcast

The program to be broadcast is a video to be broadcast, a program to be broadcast, and a program to be produced. The videos to be broadcast and the programs to be broadcast are recognized at the original cost, and measured at the lower of unamortized cost and net realizable value. The programs to be produced are recognized on the base of actual input cost, and measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

  • i. Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and capitalized borrowing costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

  • j. Biological assets

Biological assets shall be measured at fair value, except when the fair value of the biological assets determined by the market cannot be obtained and the alternative estimate of fair value is unreliable, then the cost is measured by the accumulated depreciation. The cost of raising the cost and other related costs are capitalized in the current period, and the impairment test is carried out regularly every year, and the impairment loss is recognized for objective evidence of impairment.

  • k. Investment subsidiary

Goodwill is measured at the consideration transferred less the amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (generally at fair value) at the acquisition date. If the amount of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the acquisition price, the Group reassesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and recognizes a gain for the excess.

All transaction costs relating to a business combination are recognized immediately as expenses when incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.

26

The Group shall measure any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, if the non-controlling interests are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation. Other non controlling interests are evaluated by their fair value or by another basis permitted by the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC.

The change in ownership of the subsidiaries not causing losing control, are recognized as equity transaction. The Group recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying-amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.

  • l. Non-current assets held for sale & Discontinued operations

  • (a) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are highly probable to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are reclassified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets, or components of a disposal group are re-measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter, generally the assets or disposal group are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Any impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated assets not within the scope of IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets. Such assets will continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.

Impairment losses on assets initially classified as held for sale and any subsequent gains or losses on re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are no longer amortized or depreciated, and any equity accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.

  • (b) Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that either has been disposed, or is classifies as held for sale, and

(b-1) represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; (b-2) is part of a single co ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or

(b-3) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

  • m. Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

27

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

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

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

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method and measures the retained interest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Group accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the associates had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss (or retained earnings) on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) (or retained earnings) when the equity method is discontinued.

When the Group subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments, with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under capital surplus. If the capital surplus resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of the associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

  • n. Property, plant and equipment

  • (a) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

28

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (b) Subsequent cost

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

  • (c) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

Buildings 1 55 years Machinery and equipment 2 7 years Transportation equipment 3 20 years Leasehold improvements 1 20 years Miscellaneous equipment 1 20 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • o. Leases

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

  • (a) As a leasee

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

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

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

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

  • fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

29

  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • - ’ there is a change in the Group s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

  • there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or

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

  • there is any lease modifications

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

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

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

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of office equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As a practical expedient, the Group elects not to assess whether all rent concessions that meets all the following conditions are lease modifications or not:

  • the rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID 19 pandemic;

  • the change in lease payments that resulted in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

  • any reduction in lease payments that affects only those payments originally due on, or before, June 30, 2022; and

  • there is no substantive change in other terms and conditions of the lease.

In accordance with the practical expedient, the effect of the change in the lease liability is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concession occurs.

30

(b) As a leasor

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

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

  • p. Intangible assets

  • (a)Recognition and measurement

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets, including customer relationships, patents and trademarks, that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (b) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • (c) Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

Trademark rights
23 years
Computer software 110 years
Copyright
3 years
Patents
3 years
Client rights and Supplier contract 10 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • q. Impairment of non-financial assets

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

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that

31

generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

r. Revenue recognition

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

(a) Sale of goods

The Group is involved in TV shopping channels and E-commerce portal services, and sales of pet food and supplies and electronic tickets. Revenue can be reliably measured when the income is transferred, and future economic benefits are likely to be recognized as income when flowing into the company.

(b) Rending of services

The Group is involved in loading and unloading, warehousing, ticket system construction and integration services, and recognizes relevant revenue during the financial reporting period of providing labor services.

In case of fixed-price contracts, the customer pays the fixed amount based on a payment schedule. If the services rendered by the Group exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognized. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

(c) Advertisement revenue

Advertising revenue is deducted from the agency commission and is recognized at the completion of the broadcast.

  • (d) Program authorization revenue

The program authorization revenue is recognized on an accrual basis based on the substance of the contract, or is recognized when the relevant program is delivered.

  • (e) Installment sales interest income

32

The Group engages in installment sales, wherein the amount exceeds the cash sales price, resulting in the difference to be recognized as unrealized interest income deducted to installment notes and accounts receivable, which interest is accounted for annually using the interest method over the installment period. The installment sales are transferred to the owner after the price has been fully paid.

  • (f) Receivables transfer

The Group also operates the business of accounts receivable financing. Transfers of receivables should be considered as collateral for loans except for those conforming to all the following conditions as purchase of receivables.

  • (f-1) A transfer of financial assets or a portion of a financial asset in which the transferor surrenders control over those financial assets is regarded as a sale to the extent that consideration other than beneficial interests in the transferred assets is received in exchange.

  • (f-2) The rights to accounts receivable are derecognized after deducting the estimated charges or losses in a commercial dispute when all of the following conditions are met.

    • (f-2-1) The rights to accounts receivable have been isolated from the transferor as they are put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership.

    • (f-2-2) Each transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the rights to the accounts receivable, and no condition prevents the transferee (or holder) from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor.

    • (f-2-3) The transferor does not maintain effective control over the rights to the accounts receivable claims through either:

      • An agreement that both entitles and obligates the transferor to repurchase or redeem them before their maturity, or

      • The ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific rights to the accounts receivable.

  • s. Contract costs

Costs to fulfil a contract

If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer are not within the scope of another Standard (for example, IAS 2 Inventories, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment or IAS 38 Intangible Assets), the Group recognizes an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

  • (a) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Group can specifically identify;

  • (b) the costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; and

  • (c) the costs are expected to be recovered.

General and administrative costs, costs of wasted materials, labor or other resources to fulfil the contract that were not reflected in the price of the contract, costs that relate to satisfied performance obligations (or partially satisfied performance obligations), and costs for which the Group cannot distinguish whether the costs relate to unsatisfied performance obligations or to satisfied performance obligations (or partially satisfied performance obligations), the Group recognizes these costs as expenses when incurred.

33

t. Government subsidies

The Group recognizes an unconditional government grant in profit or loss as other income when the grant becomes receivable. Other government grants related to assets are initially recognized as deferred income at fair value if there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant; they are then recognized in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses or losses incurred are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses or losses are recognized.

  • u. Employee benefits

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

  • (b) Defined benefit plans

The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

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

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

  • (c) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

34

  • v. Income taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses that are related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

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

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are not recognized except for the following:

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

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

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

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

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

  • (a) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (b) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

    • (b-1) the same taxable entity; or

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

  • w. Business combination

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. The goodwill arising from an acquisition is measured as the excess of (i) the consideration transferred (which is generally measured at fair value) and (ii) the amount of noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, both over the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date. If the amount calculated above is a deficit balance, the Group recognized that amount as a gain on a bargain purchase in profit or loss immediately after reassessing

35

whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed.

All acquisition-related transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.

For each business combination, the Group measures any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, if the non-controlling interests are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the Group’s net assets in the event of liquidation. Other components of non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition-date fair values, unless another measurement basis is required by the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC.

x. Earnings per share

The Group discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares.

y. Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

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

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

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

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

  • a. The Group is the single largest shareholder of an investee with less than 50% of the voting rights of it and concludes that the Group does not control but has significant influence over it.

  • It is stated in Note 13 that the Group is the single largest shareholder of EHS with 25.87% of the voting rights of theinvestee. Considering the size of the Group’s holding of voting rigts relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other shareholders and the voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings, which indicate that other shareholders

36

are not passive, the Group is not able to appoint more than half of the members of EHS’s governing body. Therefore, the Group cannot direct the relevant activities of EHS and does not control EHS. Management of the Group considered the Group as exercising significant influence over EHS and; therefore, classified it as an associate of the Group.

It is stated in Note13 that the Group is the single largest shareholder of Natural Beauty with 30% of the voting rights of the investee. After considering Natural Beauty is a listed company in Hong Kong, the independent executive directors and non-executive directors have the right to excute their own duty. Furthermore, the board of Natural Beauty directs the relevant activities, and none shareholder is able to appoint enough board members to direct the board’s decision. Therefore, the Group cannot direct the relevant activities of Natural Beauty and does not control Natural Beauty. Management of the Group considered the Group as exercising significant influence over Natural Beauty and; therefore, classified it as an associate of the Group.

b. Lease term

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably not to exercise that option. In assessing whether a lessee is reasonably to exercise the options, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option or not to exercise the option upon the occurrence of either a significant event or a significant change in circumstances that is within the control of the lessee. If there is a change in the lease term, the Group recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Please refer to Note 18 and 25.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows. Those assumptions and estimation have been updated to reflect the impact of COVID 19 pandemic:

a. The loss allowance of trade receivables

The Group has estimated the loss allowance of trade receivables that is based on the risk of a default occurring and the rate of expected credit loss. The Group has considered historical experience, current economic conditions and forward-looking information at the reporting date to determine the assumptions to be used in calculating the impairments and the selected inputs. The relevant assumptions and input values, please refer to Note 9.

  • b. Valuation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Please refer to Note 11 for further description of the valuation of inventories.

  • c. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, and right-of-use assets

In the process of evaluating the potential impairment, the Group is required to make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows, useful lives, expected

37

future income and expenses related to the specific asset groups considering of the nature of the industry. Any changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies and could result in significant impairment charges or reversal in future years. Refer to Note 17 and 18 for further description of the key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount.

d. Impairment of goodwill

The assessment of impairment of goodwill requires the Group to make subjective judgments to identify CGUs, allocate the goodwill to relevant CGUs, and estimate the recoverable amount of relevant CGUs. Refer to Note 19 for further description of the impairment of goodwill.

  • e. Measurement of defined benefit obligations

Accrued pension liabilities and resulting pension expenses under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise the discount rate, rate of employee turnover, future salary increase rate, etc. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability. Refer to Note 26 for further description of the actuarial assumptions and sensitivity analysis.

f. Revenue recognition

The Group records a refund liability using the expected value or the most likely amount for estimated future returns and other allowances in the same period the related revenue is recorded. Refund liability for estimated sales returns and other allowances is generally made and adjusted based on historical experience, market and economic conditions, and any other known factors that would significantly affect the allowance. The adequacy of estimations is reviewed periodically. The fierce market competition and evolution of technology could result in significant adjustments to the estimation made.

g. Recognition of deferred tax assets

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets in relation to unused tax losses were $445,416 and $408,009, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, no deferred tax assets have been recognized on tax losses of $1,292,410 and $1,663,653, respectively, due to the unpredictability of future profit streams. The realizability of deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future profit or taxable temporary differences will be available. In cases where the actual future profit generated is less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognized in profit or loss for the period in which such a reversal takes place.

The Group’s accounting policies include measuring financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

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

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

38

  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

For any transfer within the fair value hierarchy, the impact of the transfer is recognized on the reporting date. Please refer to the following notes for assumptions used in measuring fair value:

  • (a) Note 17, Property, plant and equipment.

  • (b) Note 33, Financial instruments.

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e., the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, accounts receivable have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information, including macroeconomic and relevant industry information.

  • b. In March 2020, Group subsidiary Eastern Asset cooperated with the Economic Development Bureau of the New Taipei City Government and the North District Office of the State-owned Property Administration on the “Linkou International Media Park

50

Investment Promotion Project” and signed a contract to establish land usage rights. The duration of the land usage rights is 50 years from the date of registration of the land usage, and the land usage was set up on April 13, 2020. During the duration of the contract, Eastern Asset shall pay rent to the North Branch of the State-owned Property Administration of the Ministry of Finance each year at a certain rate of the announced land price.

Eastern Asset also signed an investment contract with the Economic Development Bureau of New Taipei City Government in March 2020. The main contents of the contract are as follows:

  • (a) Development and operation period: 50 years from the date of establishment and registration of land usage rights.

  • (b) Development royalties: The total amount is $200,000 under the right-of-use assets account.

  • (c) Operating royalties: Starting from the date of operation, the actual net operating income of each base for the year is multiplied by the percentage of operating royalties contained in the contract to the net operating income to calculate the actual operating royalties payable by each base.

  • (d) Performance bond: The performance bond has been paid according to the contract amounting to $200,000 (under the guarantee deposits paid account).

  • c. The land rights obtained by Eastern Asset are expected to be used to build the headquarters of the Eastern Media Group, and the depreciation expenses of the right-of-use assets and the interest expenses of lease liabilities during the planning and construction period will be capitalized.

  • d. Impairment losses

The media segment was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused a decline in advertising business. The Group expects that the future cash inflow generated by outdoor advertising boards will decrease, causing its recoverable amount to be less than the book value of the right-of-use assets. Therefore, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the impairment losses recognized were $10,595 and $150,403, respecively. The impairment loss has been included in the other gains and losses net of the consolidated comprehensive income statement; please refer to Note 32.

The recoverable amount of outdoor advertising boards is calculated based on the value in use, and the value in use in turn is calculated based on the pre-tax cash flow forecast of the financial forecast for the remaining lease period of the outdoor advertising boards. The discount rates used to estimate the value in use are 7.02% and 7.6482%, respectively. The discount rate is a pre-tax rate measured on the basis of the estimated industry weighted average cost of capital, and the risk premium is adjusted to reflect the increased risk of general investment in equity and the specific systemic risk of cash-generating units.

The cash flow estimation is based on the financial budget of the remaining lease period

51

of the outdoor advertising boards estimated by the management. The estimation of EBITDA during the financial budget period is based on past experience, actual operating results and future lease expiry dates. Considering the nature of the outdoor media business, the management believes that the aforementioned forecast period is reasonable. The relevant operating income is estimated based on past experience and actual operating conditions, taking into account the market environment and the growth of the industry market. It also estimates operating costs and expenses based on past experience and changes in various costs and expenses, and calculates the recoverable amount using the pre-tax discount rate. The values of these key assumptions represent the management's assessment of the future trend of the outdoor media space operation business, while taking external and internal information (historical information) into account.

  • d. Tradermark, Client rights, brand values and Supplier contracts

The Group measured the fair value of the net assets at acquisition date and evalued the fair value and durability of intangible assets which were met the standard and

52

significant.

The identifiable intangible assets with determined durability would amortize since the acquisition year.

  • e. The impairment evaluation of goodwill

  • Goodwill had been allocated to the acquirer’s identifiable cash generating units. The recoverable amount was based on its value in use, determined by pre tax cash flow forecasts of five-year financial budgets approved by the management. The recoverable amount measured by gross profit ratio, growth rate and discount rate exceeded the carrying amount, thus, impairment loss did not occur.

  • The discount rate the management adopted was a pre tax measure reflecting specific risks of the relative operating divisions.

  • The management believed that any reasonable changes to key assumptions used for determining recoverable amount of each cash generating unit would not cause its carrying amount greater than the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount determined under aforesaid the key assumptions comparing with the carrying amount of the assets used for operation and the goodwill on the valuation date, ended up with no impairment loss should be recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Group also leases IT equipment and machinery with contract terms of one to three years. These leases are short-term or leases of low value items. The Group has elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for these leases.

According to the R.O.C.

The aforementioned realized capital surplus includes capital surplus resulting from premium on issuance of capital stock and earnings from donated assets received. According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, capital increases by transferring capital

60

surplus in excess of par value should not exceed 10% of the total common stock outstanding.

  • c. Retained earnings

  • (a) Legal reserve

When a company incurs no loss, it may, pursuant to a resolution by a shareholders’ meeting, distribute its legal reserve by issuing new shares or by distributing cash, and only the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25% of capital may be distributed.

  • (b) Special reserve

By choosing to apply exemptions granted under IFRS 1 First time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards during the Company’s first-time adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, unrealized revaluation gains recognized under shareholders’ equity and cumulative translation adjustments (gains) shall be reclassified as investment property at the adoption date. In accordance with Ruling No. 1010012865 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on April 6 2012, an increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve during earnings distribution, and when the relevant asset is used, disposed of, or reclassified, this special earnings reserve shall be reversed as distributable earnings proportionately.

A portion of current period earnings and undistributed prior period earnings shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should be equal to the difference between the total net current period reduction of special earnings reserve resulting from the first-time adoption of IFRSs and the carrying amount of other shareholders’ equity as stated above. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior period earnings shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes in other shareholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholders’ equity shall qualify for additional distributions. (c) Earnings distribution

The Company held a shareholder’s meeting on June 29, 2020 to pass a resolution to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to state that if profit distribution is to be paid in cash, it may be approved by the Board of Directors and reported to the Shareholders in its meeting.

The dividend policy of the Company takes into consideration the expenditures for its business expansion, investment, and improvement of its financial structure. Dividend distributions should not be less than 15% of distributable earnings. The Company distributes dividends of at least 10% of the aggregated dividends, if the distributions include cash dividends. The policy requires that all after-tax earnings shall first offset any deficit, and 10% of the balance shall be set aside as legal reserve. The appropriation for legal reserve is discontinued when the balance of the legal reserve equals the amount of issued share capital. Aside from the aforesaid legal reserve, the Company may, under its articles of incorporation or as required by the government, appropriate a special reserve. If there is still surplus, and the undistributed surplus at the beginning of the same period (including adjustment of the amount of undistributed surplus), its distribution shall be the approved by the board of directors.

Employees’ remuneration is based on stocks or cash, subject to a special resolution of the board of directors and reporting to the regular shareholders meeting.

The company's employee compensation for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are respectively $25,402 and $11,637. The estimated amounts mentioned above are calculated based on the net profit before tax, excluding the remuneration to employees,

64

multiplied by the percentage of remuneration to employees. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or expenses during those periods. The differences between the actual distributed amounts, as determined by the board of directors, and those recognized in the financial statements, if any, shall be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized in profit or loss in the following year. The numbers of shares to be distributed were calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares, one day before the date of the meeting of Board of Directors.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company estimated its employee remuneration amounting to $11,637 and $7,025, respectively. The amounts of employees’ and directors’ remuneration, as stated in the consolidated financial statements, were identical to the actual distributions amounts for the years 2020 and 2019. For further information, please refer to the Market Observation Post System.

33. Financial instruments

a. Credit risk

(a) Credit risk exposure

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the maxinum credit exposure for the Group originates from possible non-fulfillment of obligations by counterparties and from financial losses arising from financial guarantees provided by the Company, mainly from:

  • ‧ The carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheet; and

  • ‧ The amount of liabilities as a result from the Group providing financial guarantees to its customers was $1,674,569 and $1,120,682.

  • (b) Concentration of credit risk

The Group caters to a large group of customers; therefore, there is no concentration of regional credit risk.

For credit risk exposure of notes and accounts receivable, please refer to Note 9.

66

All of these financial assets are considered to have low risk, and thus, the impairment provision recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected losses. Regarding how the financial instruments are considered to have low credit risk, please refer to Note 4g.

The loss allowance provision for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were determined as follows:

(b) Sensitivity analysis

The Group’s exposure to exchange rate risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans, accounts payable, and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. If the TWD, when compared with each major foreign currency, had appreciated or depreciated 1% (with other factors remaining constant on the reporting date), net profit before tax would have respectively increased or decreased by $111 and $862 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

As the Group deals in diverse foreign currencies, gains or losses on foreign exchange are summarized as a single amount. For the the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, foreign currency exchange gains (losses) (including realized and unrealized) amounted $3,149 and ($2,621), respectively.

d. Interest rate analysis

The interest risk exposure of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities is described in the note on market risk management.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rate risk of the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the variable rate liabilities on the reporting date have been outstanding for the whole year. The Group’s internal management reported the increases/decreases in interest rates, and changes in interest rates of one basis point are considered by management to be reasonably possible.

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 1% and assuming all other variable factors remained constant, the Group’s net profit after tax would have respectively increased or decreased by $5,386 and $1,664 for the the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. This is mainly due to the Group’s variable rate deposit and borrowing.

  • (b) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value The Group’s valuation techniques and assumptions used for financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

  • (b-1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

If the quoted prices in active markets are available, the market price is established as the fair value. However, if quoted prices in active markets are not available, the estimated valuation or prices used by competitors are adopted. If there is quoted price generated by transactions, the recent transaction price and quoted price data is used as the basis for fair value measurement. However, if no quoted price are available, estimates shall be used. The estimates and assumptions used in the evaluation method shall be the discounted value of cash flows to estimate the fair value.

  • (c) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

  • (c-1) Non-derivative financial instruments

If there is a quoted market price in an active market for a financial instrument, the fair value is based on the quoted market price in an active market. The fair value of listed (over-the-counter) equity instruments and debt instruments with quoted prices in active markets are based on quoted market prices on major exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC) central

70

government bond marketplaces, which are judged to be popular securities.

A financial instrument is publicly quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and consistently available from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industry associations, pricing services authorities, or regulatory authorities, and if those prices represent prices that are representative of actual and regularly occurring fair market activity. If the above conditions are not met, the market is considered inactive. In general, large bid-ask spreads, significant increases in bid-ask spreads, or low trading volume are indicators of an inactive market.

The fair values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities, such as shares, funds and bonds of listed companies, with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets, are determined by reference to quoted market prices, respectively.

Except for the above-mentioned financial instruments for which there is an active market, the fair values of other financial instruments are based on valuation techniques or quoted prices with reference to counterparties.

  • (c-2) Derivative financial instruments

    • Derivative financial instruments are valued based on widely accepted valuation models, such as discounted and option pricing models. Structured interest rate derivative financial instruments are valued using an appropriate option pricing model (e.g., Black-Scholes model) or other valuation techniques, such as Monte Carlo simulation.
  • (d) Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

  • There was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

34. Financial risk management

  • a. Overview

The Group is exposed to the following risks due to usage of financial instruments:

  • (a) Credit risk

  • (b) Liquidity risk

  • (c) Market risk

This note describes the Group’s information concerning risk exposure and the Group’s targets, policies and procedures to measure and manage the risks. For more quantitative information about the financial instruments, please refer to related notes to the financial statements.

  • b. Risk management framework

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board has deputized the management of core business departments to develop and monitor the Group’s risk management policies. Management reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

  • c. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty of a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, which arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and financial instruments.

  • (a) Accounts receivable and other receivables

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 10% of the Group’s revenue was not concentrated with a single customer; therefore, there was no significant concentration of credit risk.

The Risk Management Committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases, bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer and represent the maximum open amount without requiring approval from the Risk Management Committee; these limits are reviewed periodically. The Group would not trade with clients who cannot meet the basic credit rating requirement through regular review.

The Group monitored customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics. Trade and other receivables relate mainly to the Group’s wholesale customers. Customers that are graded as “high risk” are placed on a restricted customer list and monitored by the Risk Management Committee, and future sales are made on a prepayment basis.

73

The Group established a credit policy to obtain the necessary collateral to mitigate risks arising from financial loss due to default risk.

The Group has set up an allowance for impairment to reflect the estimate of incurred losses with respect to trade receivables. The collectible status of the allowance for doubtful accounts is divided into five stages: normal, noticeable, recoverable, recoverable with difficulty, and uncollectible. The Group recognizes the balance of the accounts receivable as impairment loss.

  • (b) Investment

The credit risk exposure of the bank deposits, fixed income investments, and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the General Manager’s office. The Group only deals with financial institutions, corporations and organizations with a credit rating of investment grade or higher; therefore, there are no significant doubts regarding default on the above financial instruments, and as a result, there is no significant credit risk.

  • (c) Guarantee

The Group’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, no other guarantees were outstanding.

  • d. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group had unused bank credit lines for short term borrowings amounting to $6,450,216 and $1,377,300, respectively. According to the Group’s evaluation, the working funds of the Group are sufficient to meet its entire contractual obligations and non hedging forward exchange contracts; therefore, management does not expect any significant issue regarding liquidity risk. The Company revised the plan for real estate and investments, which is expected to improve liquidity risk. Equity investments recorded as financial assets carried at cost do not have reliable market prices and are expected to have liquidity risk.

  • e. Market risk

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

  • (a) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, primarily the New Taiwan Dollar (TWD), US Dollar (USD), and Chinese Yuan (CNY). The currencies used in these transactions are the TWD, EUR, and USD.

Interest is denominated in the same currency as borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group, and the main currency is the New Taiwan Dollar and US Dollar.

74

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short term imbalances.

  • (b) Interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk is managed by maintaining an appropriate combination of fixed and floating interest rates. The Group periodically evaluates the hedging activities and makes the interest rate and risk preference consistent, so that the hedging strategies are most cost effective.

  • (c) Other market price risk

  • b. Contingent liabilities were as follows:

  • (a)On October 27, 2008, the Securities and Futures Investors Protection Center (the SFIPC) filed a lawsuit to the Taipei District Court against the ex-chairman and the general manager of the Company, together with all the previous directors and supervisors, alleging the offense of gaining an illegal benefit for Chia Hsin and Synthetic Fiber Co., Ltd. as well as for the family members of the ex-chairman. The prosecution is based on the alleged ill-gotten assets from the Company by means of false commodity transactions and capital increment in the name of Eastern International Lease Finance Co., Ltd. and Tung Kai Lease Finance Co., Ltd. (both are subsidiaries of the Company). The SFIPC also demanded the compensation of $41,038. The Taipei District Court ruled that the Company violated the Commercial Company Act. However, both the ex-chairman and the general manager were acquitted, and not only did the Company did not bear any losses from the said transaction above, but on the contrary, it gained a profit amounting to $6,894, plus an additional 5% interest arising from the delayed payment amounting to $6,884 with a total amount around $13,000. In other words, the transaction did not do any damage to the Company and its shareholders. As a result, the appeal filed against the Company was denied by the Taipei District Court on December 5, 2012. However, the SFIPC was not satisfied with the decision made by the court. Therefore, it filed another appeal, this time with the Taiwan High Court, demanding compensation amounting to $22,664. The appeal was denied on December 3, 2013. Nevertheless, the SFIPC filed an appeal once more with the Taiwan High Court on December 24, 2013. The case was transferred from the Supreme Court to the High Court on April 23, 2015, for further investigation. On May 10, 2017, the Taiwan High Court ruled against SFIPC. Therefore, SFIPC filed an appeal to the Supreme Court on June 6, 2017. On February 23, 2021, the Taiwan High Court still ruled against SFIPC. However, SFIPC filed an appeal and the Supreme Court retimed to the High Court for a third trial. Currently, the arbitration process is still in progress and the results have yet

to be determined.

  • (b) The Company and its subsidiary, FESS Panama, jointly chartered and returned the ship to South Korea’s Sammok Shipping Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Sammok) at Kaohsiung Port in accordance with the contract signed on August 10, 2018. Sammok believed that the ship still has many defects due to its usual operation and negligence of maintenance; hence, submitted arbitration to the London Maritime Arbitration Association. The Company also filed a statement of defense to the arbitral tribunal in July 2019. Currently, the arbitration process is still in progress and the results have yet to be determined.

  • (c) The Company established a legal affair department and hired external counselors to handle its legal affairs. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, all unsettled lawsuits had no impact on its financial and business operation.

  • a. General Information

The Group’s reportable segments are warehousing, trading, media, and tourism. The warehousing segment operates a cargo storage business; the trading segment operates a retail business; the media segment operates a channel agency and advertising business; the tourism segment operates a hotel and catering business.

  • b. Reportable segment profit or loss, segment assets, segment liabilities, and their measurement and reconciliation

The Group uses the internal management report that the chief operating decision maker reviews as the basis to determine resource allocation and make a performance evaluation. The internal management report includes profit before taxation, excluding any extraordinary activity and foreign exchange gain or losses, because taxation, extraordinary activity, and foreign exchange gains or losses are managed on a group basis, and hence they are not able to be allocated to each reportable segment. In addition, not all reportable segments include depreciation and amortization of significant non cash items. The reportable amount is similar to that in the report used by the chief operating decision maker.

Except for the recognition and measurement of pension cost, which is on a cash basis, there was no material inconsistency between the accounting policies of the operating segments and the accounting policies described in Note 4. The intercompany transaction price was the same as that with other customers, and the price was based on the market value.
