Independent Auditor’s Report

To: Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd.

Foreword

We, as the CPAs, have completed the audit on the balance sheets dated March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, consolidated statements of cash flow, and notes to consolidated financial statements from January 1 to March 31, 2021 and 2020 (including summaries of major accounting policies) of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd.. Based on the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the International Accounting Standards No. 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” recognized and released by the Financial Supervisory Commission, the management shall be responsible for preparation of financial statements fairly presented. The responsibility of the CPAs is to conclude the financial statements based on the result of the audit.

Scope

The CPAs have performed the review based on Statements on Auditing Standards No. 65 “Audit on financial statement.” The procedures performed during the review of financial statements include inquiries (mainly the inquiries to the personnel in charge of finance and accounting affairs), analytical procedures and other review procedures. The scope of review is apparently smaller than the scope of an audit; therefore, the CPAs may not be able to detect all the material matters that may be identifiable under audit, and thus no audit opinion may be provided.

Conclusion

Based on the results of review by us and other CPAs (please refer to the “Other Matters” paragraph), we do not find any incompliance in the preparation of the above-mentioned consolidated financial statements, in all major respects, with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Accounting Standards No. 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” recognized and released by the Financial Supervisory Commission, that may result in inability to fairly presented the consolidated financial position of Feng Hsin Steel Co.,

Other Matters - About other CPAs’ review

The financial statements of some investees referred to in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 were not reviewed by us but by other CPAs. Therefore, the amount identified by us with respect to said investees in the review conclusion about said consolidated financial statements was based on the other CPA’s review report.

Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements January 1 to March 31, 2021 and January 1 to March 31, 2020

(Reviewed only but not audited in accordance with the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards.) (NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

I. History

Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) was founded in 1969, initially engaged in manufacturing, processing and trading of various triangle iron, angle iron, round iron, flat iron and iron plate products, and management and investment of businesses incidental thereto. The No. 2 Steel Rolling Mill was completed and started operating in June 1989. Then, the Company launched into the area of special steel and engaged in producing carbon steel and special steel. The Company’s No. 2 Steelmaking Shop completed the hot commissioning in 1997 and started to produce the special steel billets needed by No. 2 Steelmaking Shop and No. 1 Steelmaking Shop, hoping to control quality and cut costs. The Company’s stocks were listed upon approval of the competent authority in 1991, and officially traded on TWSE on May 25, 1992. The Company’s registered place and principal business place are both situated at No.998, Sec.1, Jiahou Rd., Houli Dist., Taichung City.

II. Date and Procedure for Authorization of Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the “Group”) from January 1 to March 31, 2021 and 2020 were approved and released by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2021.

III. Applicability of newly promulgated and amended standard rules and interpretations

  1. Changes in accounting policies caused by the first-time application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)

The Group has adopted the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs),” International Accounting Standards (IAS), Standing Interpretation Committee (SIC) interpretation and International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRSIC) announcement, which has been recognized and applied by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”) as of the fiscal year since January 1, 2021.

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

The first-time application of new and amended standards rendered no material impact to the Group.

  1. By the date for authorization of the financial reports, the Group has not adopted the following new, revised and amended standards and interpretation, which have been released by International Accounting Standards Board but not yet recognized by FSC:

  • (1) Amendments to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” - “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments address the inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an associate or a joint venture. IAS 28 requires that gains and losses arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or a joint venture shall be derecognized through downstream transactions. IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition on the loss of control of the subsidiary. IAS 28 was amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a

10

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full.

IFRS 10 was also amended so that the gains or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.

(2) IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects (including recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements). The core of IFRS 17 is the General Model. Under this model, on initial recognition, an entity shall measure a company of insurance contracts at the total of the fulfillment cash flows and the contractual service margin. The carrying amount of a company of insurance contracts at the end of each reporting period shall be the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and incurred claims.

Other than the General Model, the standard also provides a specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the Variable Fee Approach) and a simplified approach (Premium Allocation Approach) mainly for short-term contracts.

Upon promulgation of the Standard as of May 2017, the Standard was amended in June 2020, so that the effective date should be deferred for another two years (i.e. to be postponed from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2023) and additional exemptions should be made available; meanwhile, the costs for the adoption of the Standard may be cut through the simplification and certain circumstances may be explained in an easier way by virtue of the amendments. The Standard will replace the provisional one (namely IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts) after it becomes effective.

  • (3) Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)

These are the amendments to paragraphs 69-76 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial statements and the amended paragraphs related to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current.

  • (4) Limited amendments to IFRSs, including the amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16 and IAS 37, and annual improvements.

11

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries

(Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

  • A. Updating a Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3)

The amendments are made in order to replace the old index version for the financial reporting conceptual concept and update IFRS 3 with the latest index version released in March 2018. Meanwhile, an exception is added into the recognition principle to prevent the gain or loss on “2nd day” potentially arising from liabilities or contingent liabilities, and to clarify the existing guidelines which remain unaffected by the replacement of the framework index.

  • B. Property, Plant and Equipment: Income before the intent to use (amendments to IAS 16)

The amendments are made to prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss.

  • C. Onerous contract - cost of fulfilling a contract (amendments to IAS 37)

The amendments are made to clarify the costs that a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous.

  • D. Improvements to IFRSs from 2018 to 2020.

Amendments to IFRS 1

The amendment to IFRS 1 simplifies the application of IFRS 1 by a subsidiary that becomes a first-time adopter after its parent in relation to the measurement of cumulative translation differences.

Amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

The amendments are made in order to clarify the expenses to be included when an entity evaluates whether there is any significant difference between the new or amended contractual terms and conditions for financial liabilities and the old ones for the same financial liabilities.

Amendments to the illustrative example accompanying IFRS 16 “Leases”

The amendments to Illustrative Example 13 accompanying IFRS 16 are made in order to amend the lease incentives related to the lessee’s leasehold improvement.

Amendments to IAS 41

The amendments to IAS 41 removed a requirement to exclude cash flows from

12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

taxation when measuring fair value, thereby aligning the fair value measurement requirements in IAS 41 with those in other IFRS Standards.

  • (5) Disclosure Initiative - Accounting policy (amendments to IAS 1)

The amendments are designed to improve the disclosure of accounting policies in order to provide investors and other primary users of the financial statements with more useful information.

  • (6) Definition of Accounting Estimate (amendments to IAS 8)

The amendments are made to define the accounting estimates directly, and also amend IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, in order to help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates.

  • (7) “Leases Regarding COVID-19-related Rent Concessions” after June 30, 2021 (amendments to IAS 16)

The amendments are made in order to extend the availability of the practical expedient referred to in paragraph 46A in IFRS 16 “Leases” by one year.

The effective dates of said standards and interpretations which were already issued by IASB but have not yet been recognized by FSC, shall be decided by FSC. The new or amended standards or interpretations rendered no material effect on the Group.

IV. Summary of significant accounting policies

1. Statement of Compliance

The Group’s consolidated financial statements for the years from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” recognized and put to effect by FSC.

2. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars (“NT$”) unless

13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

otherwise stated.

  1. Overview of consolidation

Principles for preparation of consolidated financial statements

The Company controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Particularly, the Company controls an investee if and only if it satisfies all of the following three elements:

  • (1) Power over the investee (i.e. the Company has existing rights that give it the ability to direct the relevant activities).

  • (2) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and

  • (3) Ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.

When the Company holds, directly or indirectly, the voting rights or other similar rights less than the majority investee’s, the Company evaluates whether it still holds power over the investee by taking into account all critical facts and circumstances, including:

  • (1) Contractual arrangements with the investee and others with voting rights.

  • (2) Rights derived from other contractual arrangements.

  • (3) Voting rights and potential voting rights

When the facts and circumstances show changes of any or more of the three controlling elements, the Company re-evaluates whether it still holds power over the investee.

The subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition (namely, the date when the Group acquires the controlling power) in whole, until the date when the Company loses the controlling power over the subsidiaries. The fiscal period and accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries’ financial statements are consistent with those adopted by the parent company. The balance, transactions, and unrealized internal gains and losses and dividends generated from the Group’s internal transactions in the Group’s internal account shall be derecognized accordingly.

14

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

If the Company doesn’t lose the controlling power over the subsidiaries as a result of changes in shareholdings in the subsidiaries, the changes in equity should be treated as the equity transaction.

A subsidiary’s total comprehensive income is attributed to the parent company’s owner and non-controlling interests, irrelevant with balance or loss generated from non-controlling interests.

Where the Group loses the controlling power over a subsidiary,

  • (1) it shall derecognize the subsidiary’s assets (including goodwill) and liabilities;

  • (2) it shall derecognize any book value of the non-controlling interests;

  • (3) it shall recognize the fair value of consideration for the acquisition;

  • (4) it shall recognize the fair value of any retained investments;

  • (5) it shall recognize any gain or loss as the current income;

  • (6) it shall re-classify the amount recognized by the parent company to other comprehensive income previously as the current income.

4. Foreign currency transaction

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in New Taiwan Dollars, the functional currency adopted by the Company. Each entity in the Group decides its own functional currency independently, and measures its financial statement based on the functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies conducted by each entity in the Group are retranslated at its functional currency at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in

15

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

foreign currencies are retranslated at the closing foreign exchange rate on the same day; non-monetary items are retranslated at the foreign exchange rate on the same day when the fair value is determined; non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are retranslated at the foreign exchange rate on the date of initial transactions.

All exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items are taken to profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for the following:

  • (1) Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings for an acquisition of a qualifying asset to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs are included in the borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalization.

  • (2) Foreign currency items within the scope of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” are accounted for based on the accounting policy for financial instruments.

  • (3) Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entity’s net investment in a foreign operation are recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized into other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized into profit or loss.

  1. Criteria for classifying assets and liabilities as current or non-current items

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

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

  • (2) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

  • (3) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the reporting period;

  • (4) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those

16

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the reporting period.

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

  • (1) Liabilities arising from operating activities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;

  • (2) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • (3) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within twelve months from the reporting period;

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

6. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term and highly liquid time deposits or investments (time deposits to be matured within 3 months) that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

7. Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities shall be recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” are recognized initially at fair value, plus or minus transaction costs directly attributable to acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (except those classified into financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss).

(1) Recognition and measurement of financial assets

The Group accounts for regular way purchase or sales of financial assets on the trade date.

17

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

The Group classified financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss considering both factors below:

  • A. The Group’s business model for managing the financial assets

  • B. The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and presented as note receivables, accounts receivables, financial assets measured at amortized cost and other receivables etc., on the balance sheet:

  • A. Business model managing financial assets: To hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.

  • B. The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset: Cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Such financial assets (excluding those involving hedging relationship) are subsequently measured at amortized cost (the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount and adjusted for any loss allowance). A gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized through the amortization process or in order to recognize the impairment gains or losses.

Interest calculated by using the effective interest method (calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset) or under the following circumstances shall be recognized into profit or loss:

  • A. In the case of purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets, the Group applies the credit adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

  • B. In the case of financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit impaired financial assets, the Group applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial

18

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

assets.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met and presented as the financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income on the balance sheet:

  • A. Business model managing financial assets: To collect contractual cash flows and sell financial assets.

  • B. The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset: Cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Recognition of gain or loss on such financial asset is described as below:

  • A. Except for the impairment gain or loss and foreign currency exchange gain or loss, which is recognized into the income, the gain or loss thereof should be recognized into other comprehensive income before derecognition or re-classification.

  • B.At the time of derecognition, the accumulated gains or losses initially recognized into other comprehensive income should be re-classified from equity into income as the reclassification adjustment.

  • C.Interest calculated by using the effective interest method (calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset) or under the following circumstances shall be recognized into profit or loss:

  • (a) In the case of purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets, the Group applies the credit adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

  • (b) In the case of financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit impaired financial assets, the Group applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial assets.

Besides, for certain equity investments within the scope of IFRS 9 that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies, the Group made an irrevocable

19

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

election to present the changes of the fair value in other comprehensive income at initial recognition. Amounts presented in other comprehensive income shall not be subsequently transferred to profit or loss (when disposal of such equity instrument, its cumulated amount included in other components of equity is transferred directly to the retained earnings) and these investments should be presented as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income on the balance sheet. Dividends on such investment are recognized as profit or loss, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of investment.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets were classified as measured at amortized cost or measured at fair value through other comprehensive income based on aforementioned criteria. All other financial assets were measured at fair value through profit or loss and presented on the balance sheet as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Such financial assets are measured at fair value. The gains or losses resulting from remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss, which includes any dividend or interest received on such financial assets.

(2) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes and measures the loss allowance for financial assets at amortized costs based on expected credit losses.

The Group measures expected credit losses in a way that reflects:

A. an unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;

  • B. the time value of money;

  • C. reasonable and supportable information (that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date) about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

The loss allowance is measured as follow:

  • A. At an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses: the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition or the

20

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the balance sheet date. Additionally, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current balance sheet date that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition is no longer met.

  • B.At an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses: the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition or financial asset that is purchased or originated credit impaired financial asset.

  • C.For accounts receivables or contract assets arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 15, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

At each balance sheet date, the Group needs to assess whether the credit risk on a financial asset has been increased significantly since initial recognition by comparing the risk of a default occurring at the balance sheet date and the risk of default occurring at initial recognition. Please refer to Note 12 for further details on credit risk.

  • (3) Derecognition of financial assets

Any financial asset held by the Group is derecognized when any of the following circumstances are met:

  • A.The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.

  • B.The Group has transferred the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset have been transferred.

  • C.The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received or receivable, including any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized into profit or loss.

  • (4) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

21

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries

(Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

Classification between liabilities or equity

The Group classifies the instrument issued as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instrument

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in an entity's assets after deducting all of its liabilities. The equity instrument issued by the Group is recognized based on the acquisition price less the direct issue cost.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost upon initial recognition.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include interest bearing loans and borrowings that are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method after initial recognition. Gains and losses are recognized into profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate method amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired.

When debt instruments subject to contractual terms different from each other significantly are exchanged or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) between the Group and creditors, such an exchange or modification is treated as a

22

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized into profit or loss.

  • (5) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

8. Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • (1) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • (2) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants acted in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

23

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries

(Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

9. Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower cost and net realizable value item by item.

Costs incurred in bringing each inventory to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

Raw materials - Actual purchase cost on a weighted average method.

Finished goods and work in progress - Cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Finished goods and work in progress adopt the weighted average method.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Rendering of services is accounted in accordance with IFRS 15 and not within the scope of inventories.

10. Investment under equity method

The Group’s investment in its associates is accounted for using the equity method other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. A joint venture means that the Group has rights over net assets under the joint arrangement (with joint control).

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate or an investment in a joint venture is carried in the balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate or joint venture. After the interest in the associate or joint venture is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s related interest in the associate or joint venture.

24

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

When changes in the net assets of an associate or a joint venture occur and not those that are recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income and do not affect the Group’s percentage of ownership interests in the associate or joint venture, the Group recognizes such changes in equity based on its percentage of owner ship interests. The resulting capital surplus recognized will be reclassified to profit or loss at the time of disposing of the associate or joint venture on a pro rata basis.

When the associate or joint venture issues new stock, and the Group’s interest in an associate or a joint venture is reduced or increased as the Group fails to acquire shares newly issued in the associate or joint venture proportionately to its original ownership interest, the increase or decrease in the interest in the associate or joint venture is recognized into “Capital Surplus” and “Investment accounted for using the equity method”. When the interest in the associate or joint venture is reduced, the related items previously recognized into other comprehensive income are reclassified into profit or loss or other appropriate items. The aforementioned capital surplus recognized is reclassified into profit or loss on a pro rata basis when the Group disposes of the associate or joint venture.

The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

The Group determines at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate or an investment in a joint venture is impaired in accordance with IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes the amount into the profit or loss of the associate or joint venture in accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”. Where said recoverable amount adopts the value in use of the investment. The Group may determine the related value in use of the investment in the following manners:

  • (1) The Group’s share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the associate or joint venture, including the cash flows from the operations of the associate or joint venture, and the proceeds on the ultimate disposal of the investment; or

25

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

  • (2) The present value of the estimated future cash flows expected by the Group to arise from dividends to be received from the investment and its ultimate disposal.

Because goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate or an investment in a joint venture is not separately recognized, it is not tested for impairment separately by applying the requirements for impairment testing goodwill in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognizes any retaining investment at its fair value. Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture and the fair value of the retaining investment plus proceeds from disposal is recognized into profit or loss. Meanwhile, when the investment in the associate becomes that in the joint venture, or the investment in the joint venture becomes that in the associate, the Group continues to apply the equity method without re-measuring the retained equity.

11. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located and necessary interest expenses for construction in progress. Each part of property, plant and equipment that is significant is depreciated separately. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful life and depreciation. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized in accordance with the derecognition provisions of IAS 16 “Property, plant and equipment”. When a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as the replacement cost if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated economic life of the following assets:

Asset items
House and building
Useful life
6~56 years

26

(Cont’d) (Cont’d)
(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)
Machine and equipment 3~41 years
Transportation equipment 4~16 years
Office equipment 3~17 years
Leasehold improvement 2~25 years

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on the derecognition of the asset is recognized as profit or loss.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and the changes resulting from the difference in the expected value and previous estimate are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

12. Investment property

The Group owned investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day to day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale (or are included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5 “Non current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”, investment properties are measured using the cost model in accordance with the requirements of IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment for that model. If investment properties are held by a lessee as the right of use assets and are not held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, investment properties are measured in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 16.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated economic life of the following assets:

Asset items
Building
Useful life
30~50 years

Investment properties are derecognized and relevant profit or loss is recognized when

27

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.

The Group decides to transfer to or from investment properties based on the actual usage of the assets.

Properties are transferred to or from investment properties when the properties meet, or cease to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use.

13. Lease

The Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease on the date when the contract is established. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the Group assesses whether, throughout the period of use, has both of the following:

  • (1) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset; and

  • (2) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

For a contract that is, or contains, a lease, the Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract. For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. The relative stand-alone price of lease and non-lease components shall be determined on the basis of the price the lessor, or a similar supplier, would charge the Group for that component, or a similar component, separately. If an observable stand-alone price is not readily available, the Group estimates the stand-alone price, maximizing the use of observable information.

Group as a lessee

Except for leases that meet and elect short term leases or leases of low value assets, the

28

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

Group recognizes the right to use asset and lease liability for all leases. The Group is the lessee of those lease contracts.

At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that is not paid at the commencement date:

  • (1) Fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

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

  • (3) amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

  • (4) the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  • (5) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

After the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability on an amortized cost basis, which increases the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability by using an effective interest method, and reduces the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

At the commencement date, the Group measures the right-of-use asset at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises:

  • (1) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

  • (2) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

  • (3) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and

  • (4) 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.

For subsequent measurement of the right-of-use asset, the Group measures the right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated

29

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

impairment losses. That is, the Group measures the right-of-use asset by applying a cost model.

If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option, the Group depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Group depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

The Group applies IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.

Except for those leases that the Group accounted for as short term leases or leases of low value assets. The Group presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet and separately presents lease-related depreciation expense and interest expense in the statements of comprehensive income.

For short term leases or leases of low value assets, the Group elects to recognize the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis during the lease period.

The Group elects not to assess whether the related rent concessions resulting from the pandemic of COVID-19 directly is leasehold improvement, but treats such rent concessions as changes in the lease payment. The Group also has the practical expediency applied to all qualified rent concessions.

Group as a lessor

At the inception of a contract, the Group classifies its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it substantially transfers all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not so. At the commencement date, the Group recognizes assets held under a finance lease in its balance sheet and presents them as a receivable amount equal to the net investment in the lease.

For a contract that contains lease components and non-lease components, the Group

30

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

allocates the consideration in the contract applying IFRS 15.

The Group recognizes lease payments from operating leases as rental revenue on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis. Variable lease payments for operating leases that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as rental revenue when incurred.

14. Impairment of non financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset in the scope of IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group tests the individual assets or cash-generating units of the assets. If the impairment test result shows that the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit of the asset is more than the recoverable amount thereof, the impairment loss should be recognized. An asset’s recoverable amount is higher than the net fair value or value in use.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at the end of each reporting period regarding whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been an increase in the estimated service potential of an asset, increasing the recoverable amount. However, the reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

A cash generating unit, or group of cash-generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually at the same time, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment. If an impairment loss is to be recognized according to the impairment loss test, it is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill and then allocated to any assets other than goodwill pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods for any reason when they are recognized.

An impairment loss of continuing operations or a reversal of such impairment loss is recognized as profit or loss.

  1. Revenue recognition

31

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

The Group’s revenue arising from contracts with customers are primarily related to sale of goods and rendering of services. The accounting policies are explained as follow:

Sale of goods

The Group manufactures and sells goods. Sales revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer. The goods are delivered to the customers (i.e. the customer directs the use of such goods and obtains the ability of almost residual effects of such goods). The main products of the Group are steel and iron products and revenue is recognized based on the consideration stated in the contract. Transactions of the other goods are generally conditioned at a discount for quantity (based on the total sales accumulated within a specific time limit). Therefore, the revenue is recognized based on the consideration stated in the contract, less the amount of discount for the estimated quantity. The Group estimates the variable considerations generated from the discount for quantity based on the actual shipping quantity, to the extent that the accumulated revenue as recognized is highly unlikely to be reversed significantly after the uncertainty related to variable considerations is eliminated subsequently. The expected discount for quantity is also recognized as the refund liability relatively during the specific time limit as agreed.

The credit period of the Group’s sale of goods is from 10 to 75 days. For most of the contracts, when the Group transfers the goods to customers and has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, these contracts are recognized as accounts receivables. Such accounts receivable are generally short-term and free from any important financial components. Few contracts are recognized as contract assets, when the Group transfers the goods to customers but has not yet had a right to an unconditional amount of consideration. In the case of contract assets, the loss allowance should be measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses under IFRS 9.

Rendering of services

The Group provides labor services primarily with respect to the transportation and insurance services for the various steel and iron products sold by the Group. Such services are separately priced or negotiated, provided based on the contract period. Since the Group provides transportation and insurance services during the contract

32

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

period, customers may obtain the effects of transportation and insurance for such goods during the contract period. Accordingly, the Group recognizes revenues when the Group satisfied a performance obligation at a point in time.

Most of the contractual considerations of the Group are collected evenly throughout the contract periods after rendering the transportation and insurance services. When the Group has performed the services for customers but does not has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, these contracts should be presented as contract assets. However, for some rendering of services contracts, part of the consideration was received from customers upon signing the contract. The Group has an obligation to provide the services subsequently; accordingly, these amounts are recognized as contract liabilities.

The period between the transfers of the Group’s said contract liabilities to revenue is usually within one year. Thus, no significant financing component arises.

16. Borrowing costs

The borrowing costs of qualifying assets directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production shall be eligible for capitalization as a part of the costs of such assets. The other borrowing costs are recognized as the expenses when incurred. The borrowing costs include the interests and other costs incurred related to the borrowing of loans.

17. Post employment benefits

The Company’s regulations governing employees’ retirement apply to all employees hired by the Company officially. The employees’ pension fund is managed by the Pension Supervisory Committee and deposited into the pension fund account as a whole. Said pension fund is deposited under the Committee’s name in the specific bank account and hence, not associated with the Company. Therefore, such a fund is not included in said consolidated financial statements.

For the defined contribution plan, the Company will make a monthly contribution of no less than 6% of the monthly wages of the employees subject to the plan. The Company recognizes expenses for the defined contribution plan in the period in which the contribution becomes due.

33

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

The post-employment benefit plan classified as a defined benefit plan uses the Projected Unit Credit Method to measure its obligations and costs based on actuarial assumptions. Remeasurements, comprising of the effect of the actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest) and the return on plan assets, excluding net interest, are recognized as other comprehensive income with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings in the period in which they occur. The past service costs are the changes in the present value of defined benefit obligation generated from amendments to or curtailment of the plan and recognized into profit or loss on the earlier of:

(1) the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

(2) the date that the Group recognizes restructuring-related costs or termination benefits.

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset, both as determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contribution and benefit payment.

Interim retirement costs are calculated from the beginning until the end of the interim period using the actuarial pension cost rate determined at the end of the previous year, and adjusted for major market changes, plan modifications, settlements and other one-time events that took place after the end of the interim period.

18. Income tax

Income tax expense (income) is the aggregate amount included in the determination of profit or loss for the period in respect of current tax and deferred tax.

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current income tax relating to items recognized into other comprehensive income or directly into equity is recognized into other comprehensive

34

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

income or equity and not into profit or loss.

The income tax for undistributed earnings is recognized as income tax expense on the date when the Shareholders’ meeting approves the distribution proposal.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences at the end of reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the balance sheet.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • (1) Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;

  • (2) In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, except:

  • (1) Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

  • (2) In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against

35

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities 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. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized accordingly.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities. The deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Income taxes for the interim period are assessed and disclosed by determining the tax rate applicable to expected total annual earnings, i.e. applying the estimated annual average effective tax rate to interim pre-tax profit. The estimate of annual average effective rate only comprises of current income tax expenses. The deferred income tax shall be recognized and measured in line with the annual financial reporting and under IAS 12 “Income Tax”. If the tax rate is changed during the interim period, the effect of the tax rate change to deferred income tax is recognized through profit and loss, other comprehensive income or directly into equity in one entry in the period occurred.

V. Major sources of major accounting judgments, estimates, and hypotheses

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

  1. Judgment

36

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

(1) Investment property

Some of the Group’s property is held to earn rent or capital appreciation in one part and for own use in the other part. If each part thereof may be sold independently, it shall be treated as investment property and property, plant and equipment, respectively. If it is impossible to sell each part independently, the property may be classified into investment property, to the extent that the parts held for own use are considered insignificant.

(2) Operating lease commitment - Group as the lessor

The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.

2. Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(1)Post employment benefits

The cost of post-employment benefit and the present value of the pension obligation under defined benefit pension plans are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions. These include the determination of the discount rate and increase/decrease in expected salaries.

(2)Revenue recognition - Sales return and allowance

The Group estimates the sales return and allowance based on historical experience and other known reasons. It presents it as a deduction to operating revenue at the

37

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

time of sale of the goods. Said estimate about sales return and allowance would be done to the extent that the accumulated revenue recognized due to important reversal is very unlikely to be incurred. Please refer to Note 6 for details.

(3)Income tax

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective counties in which it operates. Such provisions are based on various factors, such as the experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective Group’s entity’s domicile.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available or there are taxable temporary differences. The amount of deferred tax assets determined to be recognized is based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits and taxable temporary differences together with future tax planning strategies.

(4)Accounts receivables–estimation of impairment loss

The Group estimates the impairment loss of accounts receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows due under the contract (carrying amount) and the cash flows that expect to receive (evaluate forward looking information). However, as the impact from the discounting of short-term receivables is not material, the credit loss is measured by the undiscounted difference. Where the actual future cash flows are lower than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.

38

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

(5)Inventories

Estimates of the net realizable value of inventories take into consideration that inventories may be damaged, become wholly or partially obsolete, or their selling prices have declined. The estimates are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.

E. Other information related to lease activities

(a) Variable lease payments

Some of the Group’s property lease contracts include the clauses about variable lease payments of the present value of land, which amount is structured with the present value of the leased land. Such variable lease

54

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.) payments lease is very common in the industry in which the Group is engaged. As the variable lease payments do not satisfy the definition of lease payment, they are excluded from the measurement of assets and liabilities.

  • (b) Options for extension of lease and options for termination of lease

Some of the Group’s property lease contracts include the option for extension of lease and the option for termination of lease. The non-cancellable period for which the lessee has the right to use an underlying asset, including optional periods when the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend (or not to terminate) a lease shall be included when deciding the lease period. The exercise of such options may maximize resilience in contract management. Most of the options to extend and terminate a lease can only be exercised by the Group. The Group must reassess the lease period if there is either a significant event or change after the commencement of the lease (as to whether it is still controllable by the Group or whether the Group is still reasonably certain to exercise an option excluded when deciding the lease period previously, or not to exercise an option included when deciding the lease period previously).

  1. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s principal financial risk management objective is to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activities. The Group

63

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

identifies measures and manages the aforementioned risks based on the Group’s policy and risk appetite.

The Group has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for financial risk management. Before entering into significant transactions, due approval process by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee must be carried out based on related protocols and internal control procedures. The Group shall comply with its financial risk management policies during its financial management activities.

3. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that a financial instrument's fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate because of the changes in market prices. The Group’s market risk primarily includes foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks.

In practice, it is rarely the case that a single risk variable will change independently from other risk variables, there is usually interdependencies between risk variables. However, the sensitivity analysis disclosed below does not take into account the interdependencies between risk variables.

Foreign exchange rate risk

The Group ’s exposure to the foreign exchange rate risk relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue or expense are denominated in a different currency from the Group’s functional currency).

The Group’s foreign currency receivables and foreign currency payables are denominated in the same foreign currency in part. Accordingly, the equivalent positions would generate the natural hedging effect.

The Group’s foreign exchange rate risk sensitivity analysis is performed on the effect posed to the Group’s income by revaluation/devaluation of foreign currency related to the significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as at the end of the reporting period. The Group’s foreign exchange rate risk is mainly related to the volatility in the exchange rates for USD, JPY and EUR.

Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk arises when the fluctuation of the market interest rate results in fluctuation in financial instruments' fair value or future cash flow. The Group's interest rate risk arises primarily from the loans with fixed interest rates and floating interest rates.

64

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

The sensitivity analysis on the Group’s interest rate risk was primarily intended to be conducted against the interest rate exposure items at the end of the financial reporting period, including the loan with a floating interest rate, under the hypothesis of holding for one fiscal year when interest rate increases/decrease by 10 basis points.

The sensitivity analysis on the changes in related risks before tax in Q1 of 2021 and 2020 is stated as follows:

The fair value of the Group’s TWSE/TPEx-listed and unlisted equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The Group’s TWSE/TPEx-listed and unlisted equity securities are

65

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

classified as at fair value through profit or loss and at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Group manages the equity price risk through diversification of investment and placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Group’s senior management on a regular basis. The Group’s Board of Directors reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.

A change of 1% in the price of the equity securities measured at fair value through profit or loss could have the impact of NT$109 thousand and NT$0 thousand on the Group’s equity in Q1 of 2021 and 2020.

A change of 1% in the price of the TWSE/TPEx-listed stocks in the investment in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income could impact NT$27,902 thousand and NT$5,911 thousand on the Group’s equity in Q1 of 2021 and 2020.

4. Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk that a trading counterpart will not meet its obligations under a contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from operating activities (primarily for contract assets, accounts receivables and notes receivables) and from its financing activities (primarily for bank deposits and other financial instruments).

Credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to credit risk management. Credit limits are established for all trading counterparts based on their financial position, rating from credit rating agencies, historical experience in transactions, prevailing economic conditions and the Group’s internal rating criteria, etc. The Group also uses certain credit enhancing procedures (such as unearned sales revenue and insurance, etc.) to mitigate certain trading counterparts’ credit risk.

As of March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, amounts receivables from the top ten customers and accounts receivable represent 21.95%, 24.53% and 26.60% of the balance of the Group’s contract assets and total accounts receivables, respectively. The credit concentration risk of other contract assets and accounts receivables is insignificant.

66

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

The Group’s treasury manages credit risk from balances with bank deposits and other financial instruments in accordance with the Group’s policy. The Group only transacts with trading counterparts approved by the internal control procedures, which are banks and financial institutions, companies and government entities with good credit ratings. Consequently, there is no significant credit risk for these trading counterparts.

5. Liquidity risk management

The Group’s objective is to maintain financial resilience through instruments including cash and cash equivalents and bank loan contracts. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based on the earliest date when the repayment is required and the undiscounted cash flows thereof. The undiscounted interest amounts of the cash flow of interest at floating rate are extrapolated based on the estimated interest rate yield curve as of the end of the reporting period.

7. Fair value of financial instruments

  • (1) The methods and assumptions applied in determining the fair value of financial instruments:

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Group used the following methods and assumptions to measure or disclose the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities:

  • A. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities

approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

  • B. For financial assets and liabilities traded in an active market with standard terms and conditions, their fair value is determined based on market quotation price (including TWSE/TPEx-listed stocks and bonds).

  • C. For equity instruments not traded in an active market (including a public company’s stocks not traded in an active market and stocks issued by an unlisted company), the fair value is assessed under the market approach. That is, the fair value is estimated based on the price generated from the market where an identical or a comparable company’s equity instruments are traded, and other critical information (e.g. the inputs including discount for lack of marketability, similar company’s P/E ratio, similar company’s P/B ratio, etc.).

  • D. For investment in debt instruments without active market quotation, bank loans and other non-current liabilities, the fair value is decided based on the trading

69

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

counterpart’s quotation or valuation technique. The valuation technique is decided based on an analysis of cash flow discounts. The interest rate and discount rate hypotheses are based on the information related to similar instruments (e.g. TWSE reference interest rate yield curve, average quotation of promissory note interest rate and credit risk, etc.).

  • (2) Fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost approximate their fair values.

  • (3) Fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments

Please refer to Note 12(9) for the fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments of the Group.

8. Derivatives

The Group has never held the derivative financial instruments for trading by March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020.

9. Fair value hierarchy

  • (1) Fair value measurement hierarchy

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. Each level of inputs is described as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

  • Level 2: Other than quoted prices included within Level 1 are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

70

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Feng Hsin Steel Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

(NT$ Thousand, unless otherwise provided.)

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group reevaluates their classification at the end of each reporting period to determine the amount of any transfer between different fair value hierarchy levels.

(2) Fair value measurement hierarchy

The Group does not have assets that are measured at fair value on a non recurring basis. The fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

Assets measured at fair value:
Financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss
Stocks
At fair value through other
comprehensive income

Valuation process used for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy

The Group ’s Financial Department is responsible for validating the fair value measurements and ensuring that the results of valuation are in line with market conditions, based on independent and reliable inputs which are consistent with other information, and represent exercisable prices. The Department analyzes the movements in the values of assets and liabilities required to be remeasured or reassessed as per the Group ’s accounting policies at each reporting date to ensure that the results of valuation are reasonable.
