INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR21000116 To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corporation

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, as well as the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews and the reports of other independent auditors.

Scope of Review

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

~1~

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As explained in Notes 4(3) and 6(7), the financial statements of certain insignificant consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for using equity method were not reviewed by independent auditors. Those statements reflect total assets (including investments accounted for using equity method) of NT$96,956,417 thousand and NT$96,007,777 thousand, constituting 16% and 20% of the consolidated total assets, and total liabilities of NT$18,545,661 thousand and NT$16,777,542 thousand, both constituting 12% of the consolidated total liabilities as at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and total comprehensive income (including share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method and share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method) of NT$353,760 thousand, NT$1,629,752 thousand, and NT$6,455,143, NT$412,548, constituting 2%, 66% and 10%, (1%) of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, respectively.

Qualified Conclusion

Except for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for using equity method been reviewed by independent auditors, that we might have become aware of had it not been for the situation described above, based on our reviews and the reports of other independent auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at September 30, 2021 and 2020, and of its consolidated financial performance for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, and of its consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

~2~

Other matter – reviews of the other independent auditors

We did not review the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method. The investment balance amounted to NT$83,685,737 thousand and NT$67,095,139 thousand, both constituting 14% of consolidated total assets as at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and share of profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$3,248,877 thousand, NT$2,669,151 thousand, NT$10,907,114 thousand, and (NT$5,689,245) thousand, constituting 15%, 107%, 17 % and 15% of consolidated total comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, respectively. Those financial statements were reviewed by other independent auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our conclusion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements was based solely on the review reports of other independent auditors.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements

are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

~12~

(1) Compliance statement

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Accounting Standards 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the FSC.

(2) Basis of preparation

  • A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

  • (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

  • (b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • (c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRS”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(3) Basis of consolidation

  • A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:

  • (a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

  • (b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • (c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.

~13~

  • (d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.

  • (e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

  • (a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • (b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.

  • (c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • (d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

~20~

B. Translation of foreign operations

  • (a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and jointly controlled entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

  • ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

  • iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

  • (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.

(5) Classification of current and non-current items

  • A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

  • (a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

  • (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

  • (c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • (d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

  • B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

  • (a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;

  • (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • (c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • (d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

(6) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

~21~

(7) Financial assets at amortised cost

  • A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:

    • (a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

    • (b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

  • D. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (8) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial assets at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition when they eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.

  • D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (9) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments which meet all of the following criteria:

    • (a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

    • (b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

~22~

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:

  • (a) The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (b) Except for the recognition of impairment loss, interest income and gain or loss on foreign exchange which are recognised in profit or loss, the changes in fair value of debt instruments are taken through other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

  • (10) Accounts and notes receivable

  • A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  • B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (11) Impairment of financial assets

  • For accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

  • (12) Derecognition of financial assets

  • The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

  • A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

  • B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

  • C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.

~23~

(13) Inventories

  • Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

  • (14) Investments accounted for using equity method /associates

  • A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.

  • B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

  • C. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises the Group’s share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.

  • D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

~24~

  • F. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

  • G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.

  • H. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.

  • (15) Property, plant and equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.

  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

  • D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Land improvements 3 ~ 15 years Buildings 10 ~ 60 years Machinery and equipment 5 ~ 15 years Transportation equipment 3 ~ 15 years Other equipment 2 ~ 15 years

~25~

(16) Leasing arrangements (lessee) right-of-use assets /lease liabilities

  • A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of lowvalue assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of the following:

  • (a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;

  • (b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;

  • (c) Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

  • (d) The exercise price of a purchase option, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  • (e) Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.

  • C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:

  • (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

  • (b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;

  • (c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and

  • (d) An estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

  • D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognise the difference between remeasured lease liability in profit or loss.

(17) Intangible assets

Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.

~26~

(18) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

(19) Borrowings

Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and short-term loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(20) Notes and accounts payable

  • A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.

  • B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(21) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

  • B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

(22) Bonds payable

  • Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Group are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised to profit or loss over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’.

(23) Derecognition of financial liabilities

  • A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

~27~

(24) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(25) Non-hedging derivatives

Non-hedging derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and recorded as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently remeasured at fair value and the gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss.

(26) Employee benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.

  • B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • (b) Defined benefit plans

  • i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

  • ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as other equity.

  • iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

~28~

  - iv. Pension cost for the interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the pension cost rate derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-off events. Also, the related information is disclosed accordingly.
  • C. Employees’, directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration Employees’ remuneration and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.

  • (27) Income tax

  • A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.

  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

~29~

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.

  • G. The interim period income tax expense is recognised based on the estimated average annual effective income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pretax income of the interim period, and the related information is disclosed accordingly.

  • H. If a change in tax rate is enacted or substantively enacted in an interim period, the Group recognises the effect of the change immediately in the interim period in which the change occurs. The effect of the change on items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity while the effect of the change on items recognised in profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

(28) Treasury shares

Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

(29) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities.

(30) Revenue recognition

Sales of goods

  • A. The Group manufactures and sells a variety of petrochemical products, including the spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing of rayon and nylon fiber. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products.

~30~

  • B. The amount of sales revenue recognised is equal to the contract price net of volume discounts and sales discounts and allowances. Volume discounts and sales discounts and allowances are estimated based on historical information, and a refund liability is recognised for expected volume discounts and sales discounts and allowances payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 30 to 120 days. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

  • C. A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

(31) Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

5. Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. The information is addressed below:

(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

  • None.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • A. Impairment assessment of accounts receivable

In the process of assessing impairment of accounts receivable, the Group must use judgements and assumptions to determine the collectability of accounts receivable. The collectability is affected by various factors: customers’ financial conditions, the Group’s internal credit ratings, historical experience, etc. When sales are not expected to be collected, the Group recognises a specific allowance for doubtful receivables after the assessment. The assumptions and estimates of loss allowance provided for accounts receivable are based on concerning future events as that on the balance sheet date. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results which may result in material adjustments.

~31~

B. Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

As of September 30, 2021, the carrying amount of inventories was $45,780,447.

  • A. The Group transacts with a variety of financial institutions all with high credit quality to disperse credit risk, so it expects that the probability of counterparty default is remote. Loss allowance is measured using 12-month expected credit losses. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Group did not recognise any loss allowance.

  • B. As of September 30, 2021, the capital repatriated by the Group amounting to USD 44,221 thousand (equivalent to $1,231,541) that failed to meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents under the IAS 7, ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ due to the restrictions under “The Management, Utilisation, and Taxation of Repatriated Offshore Funds Act” was classified as other financial assets, and listed under other non-current assets.

  • C.The Group has no cash and cash equivalents pledged to others.

(15) Pensions

  • A. (a) The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law, covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Law. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries will make contributions for the deficit by next March.

  • (b) For the aforementioned pension plan, the Group recognised pension costs of $31,459 and $39,320, $94,176 and $119,277 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

  • (c) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of the Group for the year ending December 31, 2022 amount to $111,387.

  • B. (a) From July 1, 2005, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have established a defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount based on 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of employment.

  • (b) The Company’s mainland subsidiaries have a defined contribution plan. Monthly contributions to an independent fund administered by the government in accordance with the pension regulations in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are based on a certain percentage of employees’ monthly salaries and wages. The contribution percentage was 10~20% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Other than the monthly contributions, the Group has no further obligations.

  • (c) The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plans of the Group for the threemonth and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $95,118 and $78,539, $281,234 and $248,245, respectively.

(18) Retained earnings

  • A. Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the current year's earnings, if any, shall first be used to pay all taxes and offset prior years' operating losses and then 10% of the remaining amount shall be set aside as legal reserve. The remaining balance is to be set aside as special reserve if necessary; and distributed to shareholders as interest on capital. The remaining balance for current year, after allocating for interest on capital, shall be accumulated with remaining balance of previous year. Bonus distributed shall be proposed by the Board of Directors and resolved by the stockholders.

  • The special reserve includes:

  • (a) Reserve for a special purpose;

  • (b) Investment income recognised under equity method and deferred income tax assets arising from unused investment tax credits which are deemed unrealised and transferred to special reserve. Such investment income and deferred income tax assets are reclassified to unappropriated earnings only when they are realised;

  • (c) Net unrealised gains from financial instruments transactions. The special reserve for unrealised gains from financial instruments is reduced when the accumulated value of the unrealised gains also decreases; and

  • (d) Other special reserves as stipulated by other laws.

  • B. The Group is in the mature stage and the profit is stable. The Board of Directors shall establish the cash dividend or stock dividend percentage. At least 50% of the distributable earnings after deducting the legal reserve, directors' and supervisors' remuneration, employee bonus and special reserves shall be distributed to stockholders. The Group would prefer cash dividend. If the Group requires funds for significant investments or needs to improve its financial structure, part of the dividend will be in the form of stocks which shall not exceed 50% of the total dividends.

  • C. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose. The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion in excess of 25% of the Group’s paid-in capital.

  • D. In accordance with the regulations, the Group shall set aside special reserve from the debit balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When debit balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount could be included in the distributable earnings.

~59~

  • E. The appropriations of 2020 earnings had been resolved after meeting the statutory voting threshold before June 30, 2021 via the electronic voting platform for the stockholders’ meeting and had been resolved at the stockholders’ meeting on July 23, 2021.

  • (5) Contingencies - litigation

  • A. Taiwan Cooperative Bank Co., Ltd. (“TCB”) filed a civil lawsuit against the Group’s subsidiary, Formosa Taffeta Co., Ltd. (“Formosa Taffeta”) with the Taipei District Court in September 2019. TCB claimed that the former employees of Formosa Taffeta colluded with New Site Industries Inc. (“New Site”) and New Brite Industries Inc. (“New Brite”) to make false statements. TCB was misled with the fact that New Site and New Brite have accounts receivable due from Formosa Taffeta, causing damage to TCB. Therefore, TCB claimed that Formosa Taffeta should be liable with the obligation of indemnity. However, this case arose purely as a result of the personal behavior of the former employee. As the case is still under trial proceedings, the ultimate outcome and amount of the lawsuit cannot presently be determined. However, Formosa Taffeta has engaged a lawyer to submit a strong defense to protect its rights and interests.

  • B. DBS (Taiwan) Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. (“DBS”) filed a civil lawsuit against the Group’s subsidiaries, Formosa Taffeta Co., Ltd. (“Formosa Taffeta”) and Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai Co., Ltd. (“Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai”) with the Taipei District Court in September 2019. The former employees of Formosa Taffeta and Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai colluded with New Site Industries Inc. (“New Site”) to make false statements. DBS was misled with the fact that New Site has accounts receivable due from Formosa Taffeta and Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai, causing damage to DBS. Therefore, DBS claimed that Formosa Taffeta and Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai should be jointly and severally liable with the obligation of indemnity. However, this case arose purely as a result of the personal behavior of the former employee. As the case is still under trial proceedings, the ultimate outcome and amount of the lawsuit cannot presently be determined. However, Formosa Taffeta and Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai have engaged lawyers to submit a strong defense to protect their rights and interests.

  • C. O-Bank Co., Ltd. (“O-Bank”) filed a civil lawsuit against the Group’s subsidiaries, Formosa Taffeta Co., Ltd. (“Formosa Taffeta”) and Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai Co., Ltd. (“Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai”) with the Taipei District Court in February 2020. The former employees of Formosa Taffeta and Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai colluded with I Chin Young Inc. (“I Chin Young”) to make false statements. O-Bank was misled with the fact that I Chin Young has accounts receivable due from Formosa Taffeta and Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai, causing damage to O-Bank. Therefore, O- Bank claimed that Formosa Taffeta and Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai should be jointly and severally liable with the obligation of indemnity. However, this case arose purely as a result of the personal behavior of the former employee. As the case is still under trial proceedings, the ultimate outcome and amount of the lawsuit cannot presently be determined. However, Formosa Taffeta and Formosa Taffeta Dong Nai have engaged lawyers to submit a strong defense to protect their rights and interests.

~83~

  • D. Yuanta Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. (“YCB”) filed a criminal lawsuit with a supplementary civil action against the Group’s subsidiary, Formosa Taffeta Co., Ltd. (“Formosa Taffeta”) with the Taipei District Court in October 2020. The former employees of Formosa Taffeta colluded with Loomtech Industries Inc. (“Loomtech”) to make false statements. YCB was misled with the fact that Loomtech has accounts receivable due from Formosa Taffeta, causing damage to YCB. Therefore, YCB claimed that Formosa Taffeta should be liable with the obligation of indemnity. However, this case arose purely as a result of the personal behavior of the former employee. As of November 5, 2021, the court was not in session, hence the ultimate outcome and amount of this litigation is not presently determinable. However, Formosa Taffeta has engaged a lawyer to submit a strong defense to protect its rights and interests.

10. Significant Disaster Loss

  • None.

11. Significant Events after the Balance Sheet Date

  • None.

12. Others

  • (1) Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant loss of momentum in the consumption market as a result of restrictions on people’s movement and social contact in many countries, and the spread of petrochemical products, being the difference between the product prices and cost of raw materials, gradually deviated from its historical norm because of fluctuations in international crude oil prices. Consequently, the Group incurred operating loss for the three quarter of 2020 and the overall operating revenue of 2020 decreased by nearly 20% than 2019, resulting in a decrease in consolidated profit before tax of almost 33%. Although in the third quarter of 2021, the operating revenue increased by nearly 50% compared to the corresponding period of last year and the Group generated an operating profit due to the slowdown of the pandemic, the market demand significantly increased compared to the corresponding period of last year, the oil prices and the prices of petrochemical plastic products caused by the industry anomaly increased and the winter storm in Texas, USA had an impact of the Group’s operations, the overall impact of the pandemic on the financial position and performance of the Group in 2021 depends on the subsequent control of the pandemic and recovery momentum in the consumption market.

~84~

(2) Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.

The Group’s management strategy of its debt-to-capital ratio for the year ended December 31, 2021 is the same as that for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the Group’s debt-to-capital ratio was 15%, 16% and 20%, respectively.

Price risk

  • i. The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

  • ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed, beneficiary certificate and fund. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, components of equity for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by $31,371 and $31,707, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $1,918,078 and $1,365,580, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

~89~

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • i. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD and USD.

  • ii. The Group’s borrowings are measured at amortised cost. The borrowings are periodically contractually repriced and to that extent are also exposed to the risk of future changes in market interest rates.

  • iii. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, if interest rates on borrowings had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the periods then ended would have been $124,504 and $143,466 lower/higher, respectively, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

  • (b) Credit risk

  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, classified as the contract cash flows of instruments stated at amortised cost at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • ii. The Group manages its credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • iii. The Group adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, that is, to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

  • iv. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights. On September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the Group’s written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures amounted to $0, $128,665 and $128,665, respectively.

(c) Liquidity risk

  • i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Company treasury. Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and, if applicable, external regulatory or legal requirements, for example, currency restrictions.

  • ii. Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Group treasury. Group treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, loans to related parties, time deposits and cash equivalents, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned forecasts.

  • iii. The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for nonderivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020: None.

iv. The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount will be significantly different.

(4) Fair value estimation

  • A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks is included in Level 1.

~93~

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in stock investment, private equity fund market, and most derivative instruments is included in Level 2.

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

  • B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

  • The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable (including related parties), accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables (including related parties), short-term borrowings, short-term notes and bills payable, notes payable (including related parties), accounts payable (including related parties) and other payables (including related parties) are approximate to their fair values. The carrying amounts of long-term borrowings (including current portion) and lease liabilities are reasonable basis for fair value estimate given that their interest rates are approximate to market rates.

  • C. The related information on financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities are as follows:

  • D. The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

  • (a) The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:

listed below by characteristics:
Market quoted price Listed shares
Closing price
Open-endfund
Net asset value

~95~

  • (b) Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date.

  • (c) When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, debt instruments without active market, interest rate swap contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts and options, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.

  • (d) The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate. Structured interest derivative instruments are measured by using appropriate option pricing models (i.e. Black-Scholes model) or other valuation methods, such as Monte Carlo simulation.

  • (e) The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.

  • (f) The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.

  • E. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • F. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

  • G. Because the investment target has been traded in active market from June 2021, and there is insufficient observable market information available, the Group has transferred the fair value from Level 3 into Level 1 at the end of the month when the event occurred.

  • H. The Group Treasury is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value. The Treasury sets up valuation policies, valuation processes and rules for measuring fair value of financial instruments and ensure compliance with the related requirements in IFRS. The related valuation results are reported to Accounting Division monthly. Accounting Division is responsible for managing and reviewing valuation processes.
