Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Eastern Media International Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the the parent Company only financial statements of Eastern Media International Corporation (“the Company”), which comprise the parent Company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the parent Company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent Company only 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 parent Company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent Company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its parent Company only financial performance and its parent Company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the parent Company only 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 parent Company only financial statements of partial companies, associates of the Company, 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 22.04% and 17.81% of total assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the related share of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method constituting 66.77% and (7.01)% of total profit before tax for the years then ended, respectively.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent Company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent Company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Warehousing Revenue recognition

Please refer to Note 4n "Revenue recognition" for accounting policy related to revenue recognition, and Note 21 "Revenue from contracts with customers" to the parent Company only financial statements.

3

Description of key audit matter:

Major of the operating revenue sources of the Company are the services of warehousing amounted to $1,369,908 thousand, constituting 100.00% of its Company revenue. 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 of warehousing; 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.

  • 2.The investments accounted of using equity method impairment

  • Please refer to Note 4m “Impairment of non-financial assets” for accounting policy related to the investments accounted of using equity method impairment, and Note 12 " investments accounted for using equity method " to the parent Company only financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

The investments accounted of using equity method of the Company constituted 41% of its parent Company only assets. The evaluation of the impairment on December 31 is significant to the parent Company only financial statements. There are risks that the assumption of the financial performance and cash flows related to the Company’ s subsidiaries and 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 Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent Company only financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the parent Company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

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

4

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent Company only Financial Statements

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent Company only 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent Company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent Company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent Company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent Company only financial statements of the

5

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.

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

EASTERN MEDIA INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

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 Company 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 include forwarding, loading and unloading cargo onto/from ships, the handling and operation of wharf and transit shed facilities.

2. Approval date and procedures of the financial statements

The 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 Company has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its parent company only financial statements, from January 1, 2021:

  • 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”

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

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

The Company 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

13

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 Company 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 Company completes its evaluation.

The Company 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

The parent company only financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • b. Basis of preparation

  • (a) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the parent company only 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 4o,

  • (b) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Company 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. Foreign currencies

14

(a) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Company 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. Nonmonetary 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 Company 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 Company 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.

  • d. 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 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.

15

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 Company 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.

  • e. 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.

  • f. 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 Company 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 Company 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

  • 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

16

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 Company 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 Company’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 Company 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.

(a-4) Business model assessment

The Company 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

17

the sale of the assets;

  • how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Company’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 Company’ 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non recourse features).

(a-6) Impairment of financial assets

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

18

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 Company 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 Company’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.

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

The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Company 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 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

19

loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset. The Company 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 Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company 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 Company 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 Company’ s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

(a-7) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company 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 Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company 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 recognized in profit or loss.

(b-2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company 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

20

in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company 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.

g. 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.

h. Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Company 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 the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The parent company only financial statements include the Company’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 Company, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Company 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 Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Company’s interests in the associate.

When the Company’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 Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments, with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The

21

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 Company’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

  • i. Subsidiaries

The subsidiaries in which the Company holds controlling interest are accounted for under equity method in the parent company only financial statements. Under equity method, the net income, other comprehensive income and equity in the parent company only financial statement are the same as those attributable to the owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements.

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

  • j. 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.

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 Company.

  • (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 5 20 years Leasehold improvements 2 20 years Miscellaneous equipment 2 20 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting

22

date and adjusted if appropriate.

k. Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company 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 Company 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 Company’ s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company 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;

  • 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 Company’ 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

23

lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

  • (b) As a leasor

When the Company 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 Company 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 Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Company 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 shortterm lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

  • l. 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 Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

24

  • (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:

Computer software 3 4 years

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

  • m. Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company 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 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.

  • n. Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer.

The Company 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.

25

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

  • o. 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 Company’ 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 Company, 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

  • p. 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

26

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 Company 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 Company 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.

  • q. Business combination

The Company 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 non controlling 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 Company recognized that amount as a gain on a bargain purchase in profit or loss immediately after reassessing 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 Company 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 acquire’s net assets in the

27

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.

  • r. Earnings per share

The Company 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.

  • s. Operating segments

Please refer to the consolidated financial report of Eastern Media International Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 for operating segments information.

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

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers 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 financial statements is as follows:

  • a. Refer to the consolidated financial statement for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 for judgment regarding control of subsidiaries.

  • b. Lease term

The Company 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 Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee. The Company 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 Company recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Please refer to Note 14 and 16.

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. Measurement of defined benefit obligations

28

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 17 for further description of the actuarial assumptions and sensitivity analysis.

b. 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 $431,634 and $399,839, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, no deferred tax assets have been recognized on tax losses of $753,621 and $1,123,969, 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.

  • c. Impairment of goodwill from investments in subsidiaries

Determining whether the goodwill included in the investments in subsidiaries is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the related combination and to which the goodwill has been allocated since the acquisition date. The calculation of the value in use requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash generating units and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

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

The Company 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).

  • 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:

Note 24, Financial instruments.

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.

The appropriations of 2020 earnings concerning cash dividends have been approved by the Company’s board of directors on March 25, 2021. The rest appropriations of 2020 earnings and 2019 earnings would be resolved by the shareholder’s meeting on July 7, 2021 and June 29, 2020, respectively. The appropriations were as follows:

22. Remuneration of employees

If the Company makes a profit during the year (referring to profit before tax minus the profit before the distribution of employee compensation), then after deducting any accumulated loss, 3.5% of the balance shall be allocated as employee compensation and the amount allocated shall be used as the current year's expense. 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

44

calculated based on the net profit before tax, excluding the remuneration to employees, 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.

The amounts of employees’ and directors’ remuneration, as stated in the parent company only 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.

(b) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’ 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

47

factors remaining constant on the reporting date), net profit before tax would have respectively increased or decreased by $1,690 and $987 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

As the Company 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 $750 and ($3,406), respectively.

d. Interest rate analysis

The interest risk exposure of the Company’ 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 Company’ 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 Company’ s net profit after tax would have respectively increased or decreased by $615 and $0 for the the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

e. Other market price risk

Sensitivity analyses for the changes in the securities price at the reporting date were performed using the same basis for the profit and loss as illustrated below:

(b) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value The Company’ 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

49

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 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 Company’ 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.

  • (e) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values

  • There was no change in fair value through other comprehensive income recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

  • (f) Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement

The Company’ s financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value are “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.”

Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:

  • (g) Fair value measurements in Level 3 – sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions

The Company’ s fair value measurement of financial instruments is reasonable, but using different evaluation models or evaluation parameters may result in different evaluation results. For fair value measurements in Level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions would have the following effects:

a. Overview

The Company 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 Company’ s information concerning risk exposure and the Company’ 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 Company’ s risk management policies. Management reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.

The Company’ s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, 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 Company’ s activities. The Company, 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 Company if a customer or counterparty of a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, which arises principally from the Company’ s receivables from customers and financial instruments.

  • (a) Accounts receivable and other receivables

The exposure of the credit risk depends on each customer of the sales of loading storage and lease. The Company assesses the customers' credit risk based on their basic information, which comprises of the default risk in their industry and country. The Company continuously monitors the exposure to credit risk and counterparty credit ratings, the Company does not require any collateral for trade and other receivables.

The Risk Management Committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’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 with requiring approval from the Risk Management Committee; these limits are reviewed periodically. The Company would not trade with clients who cannot meet the basic credit rating requirement through regular review.

The Company monitored customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics. Trade and other receivables relate mainly to the Company’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.

The Company has set up an allowance for impairment to reflect the estimate of

52

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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to subsidiaries. At December 31, 2021, no other guarantees were outstanding.

  • d. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’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 Company’s reputation.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had unused bank credit lines for short term borrowings amounting to $1,836,016 and $958,491, respectively. According to the Company’s evaluation, the working funds of the Company 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. The Company intends to strenghten the activation and utilization plan of real estate and investment, which is expected to be sufficient to cope with 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 Company’ 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 Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Company’s entities, primarily the New Taiwan Dollar (TWD). The currencies used in these transactions are the TWD, EUR, and USD.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company 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 Company’s interest rate risk is managed by maintaining an appropriate combination of fixed and floating interest rates. The Company periodically evaluates the hedging activities and makes the interest rate and risk preference consistent, so

53

that the hedging strategies are most cost effective.

(c) Other market price risk

  • The Company is exposed to equity price risk due to the investments in equity securities. This is a strategic investment and is not held for trading. The Company does not actively trade in these investments since the management of the Company monitors and manages the equity investments by holding different investment portfolios. The Company’s management will adjust the investment portfolios of stocks and bonds based on the market price. The significant components of the investment portfolios are individually managed.

26. Capital management

The Company’s objectives for managing capital to safeguard the capacity to continue to operate, to continue to provide a return on shareholders, to maintain the interest of other related parties, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to the shareholders, reduce the capital for redistribution to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle any liabilities.

The Company and other entities in the same industry use the debt to equity ratio to manage capital. This ratio is the total net debt divided by the total capital.

  • (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.
