Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Far Eastern Department Stores, Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Far Eastern Department Stores, Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its 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 audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and 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 Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

• 1 -

The key audit matter identified in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is stated as follows:

Impairment of goodwill from the investment in subsidiaries

As of December 31, 2021, the investment accounted for using the equity method of the Company amounted to NT$21,058,586 thousand, representing 27%, of the total assets, which was significant to the Company’s financial statements. The important component of goodwill originated from the merger contract signed between FAR EASTERN AI MAI CO., LTD. (AI MAI), a subsidiary of the Company under the equity method, and GEANT Group (France) in 2000. Each party obtained 50%-50% ownership with FAR EASTERN AI MAI CO., LTD. as the surviving entity at the time. The Company acquired the other 50% ownership in 2006 due to the consideration of the retail business strategy, and goodwill was generated. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and the changes in retail business, the Company has considered whether the carrying amount of the goodwill from the time the retail business was acquired exceeds the recoverable amount. Since management’s subjective judgment on the recoverable amount involves significant uncertainties, the carrying amount of goodwill may be overestimated; Thus, we considered the evaluation of impairment loss of goodwill as a key audit matter. For the accounting policy related to impairment loss of the goodwill, refer to Notes 4 (f), 5 and 11 to the accompanying financial statements.

The key audit procedures that we performed in respect of the impairment loss of goodwill are as follows:

1. We evaluated the expertise, competency and independence of the independent appraisers contracted by the management to perform an impairment test.

2. We obtained an understanding of the process of management’s estimation of the future sales growth rate and the profit margin forecast by the operating segments in Far Eastern Ai Mai Co., Ltd.

3. We confirmed the appropriateness of the discount rate used by management and assessed the impairment of goodwill by using the same evaluation model to calculate the weighted average cost of capital ratio used by management.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the 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.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the 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 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 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 auditors’ 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the 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.

• 3 -

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Shu-Chuan Yeh and Ming-Hsing Cho.

• 12 -

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

The amendments clarify that for a liability to be classified as non-current, the Company shall assess whether it has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If such rights are in existence at the end of the reporting period, the liability is classified as non-current regardless of whether the Company will exercise that right. The amendments also clarify that, if the right to defer settlement is subject to compliance with specified conditions, the Company must comply with those conditions at the end of the reporting period even if the lender does not test compliance until a later date.

The amendments stipulate that, for the purpose of liability classification, the aforementioned settlement refers to a transfer of cash, other economic resources or the Company’s own equity instruments to the counterparty that results in the extinguishment of the liability. However, if the terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by a transfer of the Company’s own equity instruments, and if such option is recognized separately as equity in accordance with IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, the aforementioned terms would not affect the classification of the liability.

• 2) Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

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

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

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

• Not all accounting policy information related to material transactions, other events or conditions are themselves material.

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

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

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

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

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

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

• 13 -

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

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

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

The amendments clarify that the initial recognition exemption under IAS 12 does not apply to transactions in which equal taxable and deductible temporary differences arise on initial recognition. The Company will recognize a deferred tax asset (to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized) and a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with leases and decommissioning obligations on January 1, 2022, and recognize the cumulative effect of initial application in retained earnings at that date. The Company will apply the amendments prospectively to transactions other than leases and decommissioning obligations that occur on or after January 1, 2022.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Company’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

• a. Statement of compliance

The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (the “Regulations”).

• b. Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments and investment properties which are measured at fair value, and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of the plan assets.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

• 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

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

• 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

• 14 -

When preparing the Company’s financial statements, the Company used the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries and associates. In order for the amounts of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same with the amounts attributable to the owner of the Company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for using the equity method, share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method, share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method and related equity items, as appropriate, in the Company’s financial statements.

• c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

• Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

• Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

• Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the financial statements are authorized for issue; and

• Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 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.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

• d. Foreign currencies

In preparing the Company’s financial statements, transactions in currencies other than Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

For the purposes of presenting the Company’s financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations (including the subsidiaries and associates in other countries or subsidiaries which use currencies that are different from the Company) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

• 15 -

e. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower cost or net realizable value, using the retail method. Inventories are recorded at the weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

f. Investments in subsidiaries

The Company uses the equity method of accounting to recognize its investments in subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company.

Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and is adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary. In addition, the Company recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of equity of subsidiaries attributable to the Company.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the carrying amounts of the Company’s interests and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

When the Company’s share of losses of a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in that subsidiary (which includes any carrying amount of the investment in the subsidiary accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance for part of the Company’s net investment in the subsidiary), the proportionate share of losses is recognized.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the acquisition is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Company assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the investee’s financial statements as a whole. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes a reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.

When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, it recognizes the investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date control is lost. The difference between the fair value of the retained investment plus any consideration received and the carrying amount of the previous investment at the date when control is lost is recognized as a gain or loss in profit or loss. Besides, the Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Profits and losses from downstream transactions with a subsidiary are eliminated in full in the Company’s financial statements. Profits and losses resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.

• 16 -

g. Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. The Company uses the equity method of accounting to recognize its investments in associates.

Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and is adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of the equity of associates attributable to the Company.

When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of the associate, at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription of new shares of the associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net investment in the associate), the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.

The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

The Company discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment in the associate ceases. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on the disposal of the associate. The Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

When the Company transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Company’s financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Company.

• h. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such properties are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.

• 17 -

The depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognize the asset of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss for the year.

• i. Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn long-term rental profit and/or capital gain (including properties that are qualified as investment properties and under construction). Investment properties also include land in which the intended use has yet to be determined.

Freehold investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. All investment properties are subsequently measured using the fair value model. Changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

Investment properties under construction, of which the fair value is not reliably measurable, are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss until such time as either the fair value becomes reliably measurable or construction is completed (whichever comes earlier).

For a transfer of classification from investment properties to property, plant and equipment, the deemed cost of an item of property for subsequent accounting is its fair value at the commencement at the commencement of owner-occupation.

For a transfer of classification from property, plant and equipment to investment property at the end of owner-occupation, any difference between the fair value of the property at the transfer date and its previous carrying amount is recognized in other comprehensive income.

To derecognize an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss for the year.

• j. Intangible assets

• 1) Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis during their expected useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

• 2) Derecognition of intangible assets

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss for the year.

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

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews for any indications of impairment loss pertaining to the property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

• 18 -

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount (deducting amortization or depreciation) that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

l. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

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

a) Measurement categories

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost and investments in debt instruments and equity instruments at FVTOCI.

• i. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

• i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

• ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost (including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable at amortized cost and refundable deposits) are measured at the carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Any exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset.

• 19 -

• ii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments; instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

• b) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables).

The Company always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

Without taking the collateral held into consideration, pertinent to the objectives of the credit risk management, the Company determines that a default has occurred for a financial asset when internal or external information indicates that the borrower can no longer repay the liability, unless there is reasonable and substantiated information to recognize the default later.

The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account.

• c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

• 20 -

2) Financial liabilities

• a) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

• b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

m. Revenue recognition

The Company identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue from the sale of goods are recognized as revenue when the goods are shipped or delivered because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently.

When the other party participates in providing goods or services to customers, the Company obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customers and, therefore, is acting as a principal in the transaction. On the contrary, the other party is acting as an agent. As the principal, the total amount of the consideration that is expected to be obtained in exchange for the transfer of goods or services is recognized as income. As an agent, the amount of any fees or commissions that the other party expected to obtain in exchange for the provision of goods or services, recognized as income. The charge or commission of the Company may be the net amount of the consideration. The income retained by the Company in exchange for goods or services is the amount retained after payment to the other party.

The Company offers award credits which can be used for future purchases when the customer shops (customer loyalty program). The award credits provide a material right to the customer. The transaction price allocated to the award credits is recognized as a contract liability when collected and will be recognized as revenue when the award credits are redeemed or have expired.

n. Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

1) The Company as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as income in the periods in which they are incurred.

• 21 -

When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Company assesses the classification of each element separately as a finance or an operating lease based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the lessee. The lease payments are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of a contract. If the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, each element is accounted for separately in accordance with its lease classification. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases; in which case, the entire lease is classified as an operating lease.

• 2) The Company as lessee

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate, less any lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term, or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Company remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.

The Company and the lessor conducted rent negotiations directly related to COVID-19 and adjusted the rent due before June 30, 2022, resulting in a decrease in rent. These negotiations did not significantly change other lease terms. The Company chooses to adopt a practical and expedient approach to all rent negotiations that meet the aforementioned conditions. It does not assess whether the negotiation is a lease modification, but recognizes a reduction of lease payment in the profit or loss when the concession event or situation occurs (accounted for as a deduction in variable lease payments) and reduces the lease liability accordingly.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

• 22 -

o. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other than that which is stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

p. Government subsides

The government subsidies are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to the subsidies, and the grants will be received.

If the nature of the government subsidies is to compensate for the expenses incurred by the Group or as a form of financial support to the Group and not related to the related future expenses, the government subsidies shall be recognized in the profit or loss when received.

q. Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit assets are recognized as employee benefits expenses when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses (the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit assets represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

r. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

The current payable (recoverable) income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the country where the Company operates and generates taxable income (loss).

According to the Income Tax Act of the ROC, the recognition of annual undistributed surplus earnings that are taxable, is subject to the resolution passed in the shareholders’ meeting.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current period’s income tax expenses.

• 23 -

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to use the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such assets are presumed to be recovered entirely through their sale.

• 3) Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income, respectively.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company considers the possible impact of the recent development of the COVID-19 in Taiwan and its economic environment implications when making its critical accounting estimates on cash flow projections, growth rate, discount rate, profitability, etc. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Impairment of goodwill included in the 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, or change in facts and circumstances results in downward revision of future cash flows or upward revision of discount rate, a material impairment loss may arise. Furthermore, the estimated cash flows, growth rate and discount rate are subject to higher degree of estimation uncertainties in the current year due to uncertainty on the impact arising from potential disruptions of subsidiary’s operations and volatility in financial markets due to the evolution of COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company’s trade receivables pertained to revenue on credit cards and gift certificates. The average credit period for revenue from credit cards and gift certificates was 2 to 3 days and 15 days, respectively.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Company considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. Allowances for impairment loss were recognized against trade receivables based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined with reference to past default experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.

The Company measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix approach considering the past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecasted direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Company’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Company’s different customer base.

• 27 -

The Company writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Company’s provision matrix.

The Company had evaluated the recoverable amount of goodwill for any possible impairment at the end of the reporting period and based the calculation of the recoverable amount on the value in use. The value in use is calculated according to the cash flow from each cash-generating unit’s financial budget. It was calculated according to the estimated annual discount rate of 9.30% in 2021. The Company after having the recoverable amount of goodwill evaluated had recognized goodwill impairment loss related to the Far Eastern Ai Mai Co., Ltd. for an amount of $437,462 thousand. The Company did not recognize any goodwill impairment loss in 2020.

Some stores are leased by acquiring land use rights to build buildings and transfer buildings to lessor unconditionally at the end of the lease term.

In 2021 and 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic that severely affected the global market economy, the Company entered into lease negotiations with some of the lessors. The lessors agreed to reduce the rents from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company recognized the aforementioned rent reductions of $170,191 and $113,828 thousand (as a deduction in operating expenses).

		2021 $ 21,526,409 2,769,040 $ 18,757,369 4.095%	2020 $ 21,079,871 2,485,443 $ 18,594,428 4.095%

The market rentals in the area where the investment properties are located were between $1 thousand and $2 thousand per ping (i.e., per 3.3 square meters). The market rentals for comparable properties were between $1 thousand and $4 thousand per ping (i.e., per 3.3 square meters).

The expected future cash inflows generated by investment properties referred to rental income, interest income on rental deposits and disposal value. The rental income was extrapolated using the existing lease contracts of the Company and comparative market rentals covering 5-10 years, taking into account the annual rental growth rate. The interest income on rental deposits was extrapolated by the one-year average deposit interest rate, and the disposal value was determined by the direct capitalization method under the income approach. The expected future cash outflows on investment properties included expenditures such as property taxes, insurance premiums, management fees, maintenance costs and replacement allowances. These expenditures were extrapolated on the basis of the current level of expenditures, taking into account the future adjustments to the government-announced land value, the tax rate promulgated under the Construction Cost Index and the House Tax Act and construction costs.

• 35 -

The discount rate was determined with reference to the interest rate for two-year time deposits of Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. plus 0.75% and the risk premium of investment properties of 2.5%.

Part of the land owned by the Company which is located in the east of Taiwan was not developed yet. The fair value of the undeveloped land area was measured by the land development analysis approach. The increase in the estimated total sales price, the increase in the rate of return, or the decrease in the overall capital interest rate would result in increase in the fair value. The significant assumptions used are as follows:

Estimated total sales price Rate of return Overall capital interest rate		December 31	December 31
		2021 $ 1,750,756 17%-20% 1.40%-2.68%	2020 $ 1,647,633 18%-20% 1.34%-2.72%

The total sales price is estimated on the basis of the most effective use of land or property available for sale after development is completed, taking into account the related regulations, optimism of domestic macroeconomic prospects, local land use, and comparable market prices.

19. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plan

The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

• 39 -

b. Defined benefit plan

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contribute amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the following year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the following year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the “Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Company’s defined benefit plan are as follows:

Present value of the defined benefit obligation Fair value of the plan assets Net defined benefit assets Movements in net defined benefit assets are as follows: Present Value of the Defined Benefit Obligation Balance at January 1, 2021 $ 691,522 Service cost Current service cost 4,298 Net interest expense (income) 3,458 Recognized in profit or loss 7,756 Remeasurement Return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest) - Actuarial loss - changes in demographic assumptions 13,493 Actuarial loss - experience adjustments (28,955) Recognized in other comprehensive income (15,462) Contributions from the employer - Benefits paid (21,321) Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 662,495		December 31

			(Concluded)

Through the defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Act, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

• 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

• 2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments of the plan assets.

• 3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated with reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salaries of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations are as follows:

Discount rates Expected rates of salary increase	December 31
	2021 2020 0.500% 0.500% 2.000% 2.000%

• 41 -

If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions occur and all other assumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

Discount rate(s) 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease Expected rate(s) of salary increase 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease		**December **	**31 **
		2021 $ (15,360) $ 15,906 $ 15,395 $ (14,947)	2020 $ (16,862) $ 17,485 $ 16,923 $ (16,409)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The expected contributions to the plan for the next year The average duration of the defined benefit obligation		**December **	**31 **
		2021 $ 5,109 9.4 years	2020 $ 5,356 9.9 years

Note: Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus and once a year).

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

According to the Articles of Incorporation, where the Company makes profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized to make its business income tax payments and offset deficit. From any remaining profit, out of the profit after tax for the current period plus other profit items adjusted to the current year’s undistributed earnings other than profit after tax for the period, 10% will be appropriated as a legal reserve. After appropriating to the special reserve as required by government regulations, the remaining amount, along with any prior years’ undistributed earnings, may be utilized for earnings distribution in the form of dividend based on shareholding percentage. However, the Company may retain a certain portion depending on the operating needs. In case of a capital increase during the year, dividends appropriated to new shareholders are subject to the resolution passed in the shareholders’ meeting. For policies of compensation of employees and remuneration of directors stipulated by the Articles of Incorporation, please see Note 22(i).

The Company’s distribution of dividends would be in consideration of economic conditions, tax obligations, and operating requirements for cash. For an orderly system of dividend distribution, the dividends are distributed in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation. In addition, improvements of the financial structure and support for investment, capacity expansion or other major capital expenditures. The cash dividends to be distributed should not be below 50% than the current year’s post-tax net profit deduction, offsetting losses of previous years, the statutory surplus reserve and the special surplus reserve, except for the improvement of financial structure and the transfer of funds, capacity expansion or other major capital expenditures. The cash dividends to be distributed should not be below 10% of the total cash and share dividends for the current accounting year.

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

On the initial application of the fair value model to investment properties and on the initial application of IFRS 16, property leasehold interests which were previously accounted for as operating leases under IAS 17 are recognized as investment properties and measured at fair value, the Company appropriated for a special reserve at the amount that was the same as the net increase arising from fair value measurement and transferred to retained earnings. The additional special reserve should be appropriated for subsequent net increases in fair value. The amount appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the cumulative net increases in fair value decrease or on the disposal of investment properties.

The Company’s Finance Department strives to analyze and evaluate financial risk factors related to the market, and then propose and implement relevant responsive strategies to reduce the impact of risks related to market changes.

• 56 -

The main financial activities of the Company are governed by the Company’s internal management and approved by the board of directors. The financial schemes, which include fund raising plans should be carried out in compliance with the Company’s policies.

1) Market risk

a) Interest rate risk

The Company was exposed to interest rate risk because the Company borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

Fair value interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities	**December 31 **
	2021 2020 $ 47,508 $ 39,354 14,090,911 14,785,326 105,142 88,585 20,299,235 20,399,041

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for financial assets and financial liabilities at the end of the reporting period. For sensitivity analysis purposes, the sensitivity rate was adjusted as a result of the volatile financial market. The measurement of the increase or decrease in the interest rates is based on 100 basis points, which is reported to the senior management denoting the management’s assessment for the reasonableness of the fluctuation of the interest rates.

If interest rates increase/decrease by 100 basis points and all variables remained unchanged, the profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would decrease/increase by $201,941 thousand and $203,105 thousand, respectively.

b) Other price risks

The Company was exposed to equity price risks involving equity investments in listed companies and beneficial certificates. The Company’s investments in listed companies and beneficial certificates should be in compliance with the rules made by the board of directors in order to achieve the goal of risk management and maximize the returns on investments.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period. For sensitivity analysis purposes, the sensitivity rate was adjusted as a result of the volatile financial market.

If equity prices increase/decrease by 5%, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would increase/decrease by $145,197 thousand and $142,281 thousand, respectively, due to the change in fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

• 57 -

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. At the end of the reporting period, the Company’s credit risk was mainly contributed from trade receivables in operating activities, bank deposits and financial instruments in financial activities.

To maintain the quality of trade receivables, the Company manages credit risk by assessing customers’ credit status in terms of financial status, historical transactions, etc., and obtains an adequate amount of collaterals as guarantees from the customers with high credit risk. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts. On the credit risk management of bank deposits and other financial instruments, the Company trades with counterparties which comprise banks with good credit ratings.

3) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is a risk in which the Company has difficulty in settling its financial liabilities either by cash or other financial assets. The Company manages its liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Further, the management monitors the use of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants, to avoid critical damage and mitigate the reputation risk facing the Company.

To cater to the demand of capital payments for a particular purpose, the Company maintains adequate cash by way of long-term financing/borrowings. For the management of cash shortage, the Company monitors cash management and allocates cash appropriately to maintain financial flexibility and ensure the mitigation of liquidity risk.

a) Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities

The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed upon repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed upon repayment dates.
