Information and communication, and 5. Monitoring operations. Each component consists of a number of items. Please refer to the “Regulations” for these items.

  • IV. The Company has adopted the aforementioned criteria of the internal control system to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and implementation of its internal control system.

  • V.

In addition, if the Company complies with the regulations of the competent authorities, the remaining balance after setting aside or reversing the special reserve in accordance with the law, together with the accumulated unappropriated earnings, shall be retained at the discretion of the Board of Directors for business needs. The Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for the distribution of earnings and submit it to the shareholders for a resolution to distribute dividends to shareholders.

The Company is a stable and growing company. In order to meet the operational development plan and achieve the goal of diversified operations. In case shareholder dividend is distributed, the cash dividend portion should be no less than 10% of the shareholder dividend distributed that year.

The aforementioned remuneration of employees and directors shall be resolved by the Board of Directors and reported to the shareholders' meeting. However, if the Company still has accumulated losses, the amount in losses make-up should be retained in advance, and the remuneration to employees and directors should be based on the aforementioned percentage.

  • (III) Future supply and demand in the market:

  • According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the future focus of global tourism development is in Asia. Taiwan is located at the center of the Asia-Pacific region and has potential for tourism development. The Tourism Bureau promotes the “Tourism2020-Taiwan Sustainable Tourism Development Program” with the goals of “Innovation and Sustainability to build a Happy Local Industry,” “Diversification and Creation of added value in Tourism,” and “Safety and Security to fulfill Tourism Social Responsibility,” and through five major development strategies, including “Developing Diversified Markets, Promoting National Tourism, Guiding Industrial Transformation, Developing Smart Tourism, and Promoting Experiential Tourism” to actively build Taiwan's tourism brand and bring the world to Taiwan and Taiwan to the world.

  • (IV) Competitive niches and development prospects, favorable and unfavorable factors

  • (1) Competitive niches:

    • The hotel has a long history, is located in the center of the city with convenient transportation, and has a high reputation, allowing customers to enjoy the essence of local culture and interest. The room rate is in the middle of the range, which gives us a competitive edge in the market.
  • (2) Favorable factors:

    • a) The Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications has adopted a visa-free entry policy, which is conducive to increasing the willingness of foreign visitors to come to Taiwan.

    • b) The hotel is located less than 200 meters from the MRT Songjiang-Nanjing Station Exit 1 and 8, and the Luzhou, Xinzhuang and Songshan lines all stop at the Songjiang-Nanjing Station. The operation of the airport MRT and the rise of low-cost airlines have boosted the willingness of the young generations from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia to travel. It is believed that the international airlines and the domestic transportation network will be more closely integrated, and it will be more convenient for foreign tourists to arrive at the hotel via the well-connected MRT network, which is beneficial to the business opportunities of the hotel.

  • (3) Unfavorable factors:

    • a) In order to promote the Tourism Doubling Plan, the government adopts BOT to encourage private operators to build several hotels and requires them to attract tourists to Taiwan by limiting the price, which made it difficult to raise the room rate in the market.

    • b) The number of Mainland Chinese traveling to Taiwan has dropped dramatically, which has affected Taiwan's tourism industry.

    • c) The implementation of the system of one fixed and one flexible day off per week has led to an increase in a number of costs, making operations more difficult.

  • (4) Countermeasures: Actively develop new customer sources and markets and diversify business and risks.

50

  • (V) Important applications and production process of the major products. The Company is mainly engaged in tourist hotels and commercial buildings rental, providing visitors with the necessary venues for accommodation, meetings, and dining.

  • (VI) Supply of major raw materials:

reinvestment ratio increased (decreased) by 20% or more from the year ended December 31, 2019, mainly due to the COVID-
19 epidemic.
Note 1: The year(s) not audited by CPAs should be noted.
Note 2: TWSE or TPEx listed companies should include in the analysis the financial information for the current
year as of the quarter prior to the publication date of the annual report.

59

Note 3: The following formula should be shown at the end of this table for the annual report.

  1. Capital structure

  2. (1) Debts to assets ratio = total liabilities/total assets.

  3. (2) Long-term capital to property, plant, and equipment ratio = (total equity + noncurrent liabilities)/net property, plant, and equipment.

  4. Solvency

  5. (1) Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities.

  6. (2) Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory - prepaid expenses)/current liabilities.

  7. (3) Interests coverage multiplier = net profits before tax and interest expense/interest expense for the period.

  8. Operation performance

  9. (1) Receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable from business operations) turnover rate = net sales / balance of average accounts receivable for various periods (including accounts receivable and notes receivable from business operations).

  10. (2) Average collection days = 365/accounts receivable turnover rate.

  11. (3) Inventory turnover rate = costs of goods sold/average inventory.

  12. (4) Payable (including accounts payable and notes payable from business operations) turnover rate = costs of goods sold / balance of average accounts payable for various periods (including accounts payable and notes payable from business operations).

  13. (5) Average sales days = 365/inventory turnover rate.

  14. (6) Property, plant, and equipment turnover rate = net sales/average property, plant, and equipment.

  15. (7) Total assets turnover rate = net sales/average total assets.

  16. Profitability

  17. (1) Return on assets = [net profits after tax + interest expense x (1 - tax rate)]/average total assets.

  18. (2) Return on equity = net profits after tax/average total equity.

  19. (3) Net profit margin = net profits after tax/net sales.

  20. (4) Earnings per share = (net profits attributable to shareholders of the parent - preferred stock dividend)/weighted average number of shares outstanding. (Note 4)

  21. Cash flows

  22. (1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow from operating activities/current liabilities.

  23. (2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = sum of net cash flow from operating activities for the most recent 5 years /( sum of capital expenditures, inventory additions, and cash dividend) for the most recent 5 years.

  24. (3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flow from operating activities - cash dividend) / (gross property, plant, and equipment + long-term investment + other non-current assets + working capitals). (Note 5)

  25. Leverage:

60

  - (1) Operating leverage = (net operating revenues - variable operating costs and expenses) / operating profits (Note 6).

  - (2) Financial leverage = operating profits / (operating profits - interest expense).
  • Note 4: Special attention should be paid to the following when measuring earnings per share with the above calculation formula:

  • Based on the weighted-average number of common shares rather than the number of shares outstanding at the end of the year.

  • Where there are cash capital increase or treasury stock transactions, the weighted average number of shares should be used considering the period of circulation.

  • Where there is a capital increase from earnings or capital surplus, when calculating the annual or semi-annual earnings per share for previous years, retrospective adjustments should be made in proportion to the capital increase, regardless of the issuance period of such capital increase.

  • If the preferred shares are non-convertible and cumulative, their dividends for the current year (whether paid or not) should be deducted from the net profits after tax or added to the net losses after tax. If the preferred shares are non-cumulative, their dividends should be deducted from net profits after tax if there are net profits after tax; if there are net losses, no adjustment is required.

  • Note 5: Special attention should be paid to the following in performing cash flow analysis.

  • Net cash flow from operating activities represents the net cash inflow from operating activities in the cash flow statement.

  • Capital expenditures represent the annual cash outflows from capital investments.

  • Increase in inventory is included only if the ending balance is greater than the beginning balance, or zero if inventory decreases at the end of the year.

  • Cash dividends include cash dividends on common stock and preferred stock.

  • Gross property, plant and equipment represent the total amount of property, plant and equipment before accumulated depreciation.

  • Note 6: The issuer should distinguish between fixed and variable operating costs and operating expenses according to their nature. Where estimates or subjective judgments are involved, pay attention to the reasonableness and maintain consistency.

  • Note 7: If the Company's stock has no face value or the face value per share is not NT$10, the ratios related to paid-in capital in the preceding paragraph should be replaced with the ratio of equity attributable to shareholders of the parent in the balance sheet.

Among them, the company's 2020 financial statements have been audited by CPA Ying-chou Chen and Wang-sheng Lin of Deloitte & Touche, who have issued an audit report.

FIRST HOTEL COMPANY LTD.

Convener of the Audit Committee: Hsieh-hung Li

IV. Financial Reports in Recent Years

(I) Accountant’s Auditing Report in Recent Years

To First Hotel Company Ltd.:

Opinions

We have audited the balance sheets of First Hotel Company Ltd. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, as well as the comprehensive income statements, the statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements, and notes to the financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) for the years 2020 and 2019, from January 1[st] to December 31[st] .

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors (please refer to the Other Information), the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Hotel Company Ltd. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and cash flows from January 1[st] to December 31[st] , 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of regulations governing the preparation of financial statements by securities issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing” and generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 were of most significance in our audit to First Hotel Company Ltd. of the 2020 financial statements of the current period in our professional judgment. 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.

Key audit matters of the 2020 financial statements of First Hotel Company Ltd. are as follows: Investments accounted for under the equity method

As of December 31, 2020, the balance of the investment in Today's Hotel Corporation of the USA under the equity method was NT$4,114,738 thousand, accounting for 39% of total assets. As of December 31, 2020, the amount of loss recognized under the equity method in relation to Today's Hotel Corporation USA was NT$50,349 thousand, accounting for (25%) of net profits before tax. Since the amounts of the aforementioned items are significant in relation to the overall financial statements, if the investee's financial

63

statements do not properly reflect the results of operations for the year or do not correctly calculate the investment income or loss, the amount in the investment using the equity method and its share of the income or loss will be adjusted for deviations and is therefore considered a key audit matter for the year ended December 31, 2020. Please refer to Notes 4 and 9 for related accounting policies and disclosures.

In order to address the above risks, we understood the planning of the audit teams of these affiliated companies, assessed the professional competence of the audit teams and communicated the materiality of the audit and the risk of a material misstatement by means of audit contact letters. Upon completing the audit, we assessed whether the audit teams had obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence and obtained audited financial statements to confirm and verify the accuracy of the amount in profit or loss and related investments recognized under the equity method.

Other Information

Among the affiliated companies accounted for under the equity method in the financial statements of First Hotel Company Ltd., the 2020 and 2019 financial statements of Forward Time Corporation, Today’s V, Inc. and Today’s VI, LLC accounted for under the equity method by F&W Hotel corporation and Today's Hotel Corporation USA have not been audited by us. Therefore, our opinion on the financial statements referred to above is based on the report of the other auditors as to the amounts of the above-mentioned investments accounted for under the equity method and the shares of income or loss of the affiliates accounted for under the equity method. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the above balances audited by other accountants amounted to NT$1,471,744 thousand and NT$1,474,791 thousand, respectively, accounting for 14% of total assets. The share of income or loss of affiliates recognized under the equity method amounted to NT$76,283 thousand and NT$25,988 thousand, respectively, accounting for 38% and 4% of net profits before tax in 2020 and 2019.

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 the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission 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 ability of First Hotel Company Ltd. 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.

64

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing First Hotel Company Ltd.'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. Still, it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence users' economic decisions based on these financial statements.

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

  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. 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 to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of First Hotel Company Ltd.

  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. Based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of First Hotel Company Ltd. to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause First Hotel Company Ltd. 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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within First Hotel Company Ltd. to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion of First Hotel Company Ltd.

65

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those of most significance in the audit of First Hotel Company Ltd.’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

IV. Summary of significant accounting policies

(i) Compliance statement

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs approved and published by the FSC.

  • (ii) Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the present value of defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets. Historical cost is generally determined by the fair value of the consideration paid to acquire the asset. The evaluation of fair value could be classified into Level 1 to Level 3 by the observable intensity and importance of the related input value:

  1. Level 1 input value: Refers to the quotation of the same asset or liability in an active market as of the evaluation (before adjustment).

  2. Level 2 input value: Refers to the direct (the price) or indirect (inference of price) observable input value of asset or liability further to the quotation of Level 1.

  3. Level 3 input value: The unobservable input value of asset or liability.

  4. (iii) Standards in differentiating current and noncurrent assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  1. Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

  2. Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date; and

  3. Cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date).

Current liabilities include:

  1. Liabilities held mainly for trading purposes;

  2. Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date; and

  3. Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

Those that are not current assets or liabilities above are classified as noncurrent assets or

  • liabilities.

77

(iv) Foreign currency

Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate on each balance sheet date. The exchange differences arising from the settlement of monetary items or translating monetary items are recognized in the current profit or loss.

The foreign non-currency items measured at fair value are translated in accordance with the exchange rate on the fair value determination date and the exchange difference is booked as profit or loss in the period. However, for the changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, the exchange difference is recorded in other comprehensive income.

The foreign non-currency items measured at historical cost are translated in accordance with the exchange rate on the transaction date without the need for a translation again.

In preparing the financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on each balance sheet date, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, with the resulting exchange differences recorded in other comprehensive income.

Upon the disposal of a foreign operation that constitutes a loss of significant influence over the foreign operation, all interests related to the foreign operation that is attributable to the Company's owners are reclassified to profit or loss.

In the case of partial disposal of a foreign operation (i.e., the Company's ownership interest in an affiliate is reduced without a loss of significant influence), the cumulative translation differences recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified profit or loss in proportion to the disposal.

(v)

Investment in affiliates

An affiliate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence but not a subsidiary or a joint venture.

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in affiliates. Under the equity method, investments in affiliated companies are initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount in the investment after the acquisition date increases or decreases in accordance with the Company's share of profits or losses of the affiliated companies and other comprehensive income and profit distribution. In addition, changes in equity in affiliated companies are recognized on a proportional basis to shareholdings.

If the Company does not subscribe for new shares of a related company in proportion to its shareholding, resulting in a change in the Company's shareholding and a resulting increase or decrease in the net value of the investment, the increase or decrease is adjusted to capital surplus and investments accounted for using the equity method. However, if the Company does not subscribe or acquire according to the shareholding percentage and causes a decrease in the ownership interest of affiliated companies, the previously recognized amount in the

78

affiliated companies will reduce the ratio accordingly based on the comprehensive income and its accounting process is same as the direct disposition of the relevant assets or liabilities for the affiliated companies; If the previous adjustment should be debited to capital surplus and the balance of capital surplus from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the difference is debited to retained earnings.

The recognition of further losses ceases when the Company's share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate (including the carrying amount in its investment in the affiliate under the equity method and other long-term interests that are in substance a component of the Company's net investment in the affiliate). The Company recognizes additional losses and liabilities only to the extent that legal obligations, constructive obligations or payments on behalf of affiliates have been incurred.

In assessing the impairment, the Company treats the overall carrying amount in the investment as a single asset to compare the recoverable amount with the carrying amount and performs an impairment test. The impairment loss recognized is also part of the carrying amount in the investment. Any reversal of the impairment loss can be recognized within the range of the recoverable amount in the subsequently increased investment.

(vi)

The Company measures its remaining investment in the former affiliate at fair value at the date of loss of significant influence. The difference between the fair value of the remaining investment and any disposal price and the carrying amount in the investment at the date of loss of significant influence is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. In addition, all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income related to the affiliate are accounted for on the same basis as if the affiliate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

No depreciation on self owned land

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, with separate depreciation for each significant component. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods at least at the end of each year and defers the effect of changes in applicable accounting estimates.

When property, plant and equipment are derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and the carrying amount in the assets is recognized in profit or loss.

(vii) Real estate investment

Investment property is held to earn rent or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property also includes land held for future use that has not yet been determined and is therefore considered to be held for capital appreciation.

79

Investment property is recognized at cost (including transaction cost) and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The Company accounts for depreciation on a straight-line basis.

When investment property is derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and the carrying amount in the assets is recognized in profit or loss.

(viii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment and investment property

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment and investment property may have been impaired. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount in the asset is estimated. If the recoverable amount in an individual asset cannot be estimated, the Company estimates the recoverable amount in the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Shared assets are allocated to individual cash-generating units on a reasonably consistent basis.

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

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount in the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount (net of amortization or depreciation) that would have been determined if the impairment loss had not been recognized in prior years for that asset or cash-generating unit. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(ix) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  1. Financial assets

Regular transactions of financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

  • (1) Type of measurement

The types of financial assets held by the Company are financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

80

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include investments in equity instruments investments not designated by the Consolidated Company as being measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and investments in debt instruments not qualified for classification as being measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from remeasurement are recognized in gains and losses. Please refer to Note 18 for the determination of fair value.

  • B. Financial assets measured at amortized cost

The Company's financial assets, if meeting both of the following conditions, are classified as financial assets at amortized cost:

  • a. Financial assets held under a particular mode of operation and the purpose of holding is for the collection of contractual cash flows; and

  • b. The terms of the contracts give rise to cash flows at specified dates that are solely for the payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

Financial assets carried at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with original maturities of more than three months, notes and accounts receivable, etc.) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method to determine the total carrying amount less any impairment loss after initial recognition, with any foreign currency exchange gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the total carrying amount in the financial assets.

Cash equivalents include time deposits with a maturity of less than 3 months that are highly liquid, readily convertible into a fixed amount in cash with minimal risk of value changes, and are used to meet short-term cash commitments.

  • C. Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company may make an irrevocable choice at the time of initial recognition for designating the investment of equity instruments not availablefor-sale and not recognized by the acquirer under corporate merger and

81

acquisition or with consideration at fair value through other comprehensive income for measurement.

The investment of equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income is measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value will be recognized as other comprehensive income and accumulated into other equity. In the disposition of assets, accumulated gains or loss shall be directly transferred to retained earnings without classification as profit or loss.

The dividend of the investment of equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income shall be recognized as income when the Consolidated Company's right in the collection of dividends is ascertained, unless the dividend is obviously representing the recovery of the cost of investment in part.

  • (2) Impairment of financial assets

The Company at each balance sheet date assesses the impairment loss of financial assets (including accounts receivable) at amortized cost according to the expected credit loss.

An allowance for losses is recognized for accounts receivable based on the expected credit loss over the duration.

The carrying amount in all financial assets is reduced through an allowance account.

  • (3) De-recognition of financial assets

The Company has financial assets derecognized only when the contractual rights from the cash flows of a financial asset become invalid or when the financial assets are transferred. Almost all the risks and rewards of the asset ownership have been transferred to other enterprises.

When a particular entry of financial assets measured at amortized cost is removed, the difference between its book value and consideration shall be recognized as profit or loss. When investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are derecognized as a whole, the cumulative gain or loss is transferred directly to retained earnings. It is not reclassified to profit or loss.

2. Equity instruments

The debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity pursuant to the contractual agreements and the definition of financial liabilities and equity instruments.

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized for an amount after deducting the direct issuing cost from the proceeds collected.

The Company’s equity retrieved is debited or credited to the equity.

82

The Company’s equity purchased, sold, issued, or cancelled is not recognized in the profit or loss.

  1. Financial liabilities

  2. (1) Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Except for the recognition of interest on short-term accounts payable, which is not material.

  • (2) De-recognition of financial liabilities

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

  • (x) Revenue recognition

After the Company identifies performance obligations in customer contracts, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation and revenue is recognized when each performance obligation is satisfied.

  1. Travel service revenues

Travel service revenue is recognized when the services are actually provided and is measured at the transaction price agreed between the Company and the buyer. Prepayments received before the services are provided are recognized as contract liabilities.

  1. Rental income

Rental income is recognized in accordance with IFRS 16, “Leases,” and is recognized monthly for the realized portion.

  • (xi) Lease The Company is the lessor

The Company assesses whether a contract is (or contains) a lease at the date of contract establishment.

A lease is classified as a capital lease when the terms and conditions of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Under operating leases, rental payments, net of lease incentives, are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the period of the relevant lease. The original direct cost incurred in acquiring an operating lease is added to the carrying amount in the subject asset and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

Rentals under leases that do not depend on changes in indices or rates are recognized as income in the period in which they are incurred.

83

(xii) Government grants

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the government grant and that the grant will be received.

Government grants are recognized in other income on a systematic basis over the period in which the related costs for which they are intended to compensate are recognized as expenses by the Company.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become collectible if they are intended to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to provide immediate financial support to the Company and have no future related costs. (xiii) Employee benefits

  1. Short-term employee benefits

  2. Liabilities relating to short-term employee benefits are measured by the non-

  3. discounted amount in the expected payment in exchange for employee services.

    1. Post-employment benefits

Under a defined contribution pension plan, the pension amount appropriated during the service years of the employees is recognized as an expense.

The defined benefit cost (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) of a defined benefit pension plan is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefit expense as incurred. Remeasurements (including actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets, net of interest) are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings as incurred and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

The net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the deficit (remaining) of the defined benefit pension plan appropriation. The net defined benefit asset may not exceed the present value of refunds of appropriations from the plan or reductions in future appropriations.

(xiv) Income tax

Income tax expense is the sum of the current income tax and deferred income tax.

  1. Income tax in the current period

Surtax on unappropriated earnings calculated in accordance with the Income Tax Act is recognized in the year in which resolutions are made at the shareholder meeting. The adjustment to prior period income tax payable is booked as current income tax.

  1. Deferred income tax

84

Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the tax bases used to compute taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. In contrast, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which income tax credits can be utilized, such as deductions for temporary differences, loss carry forwards and investment tax credits.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with affiliates except where the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and equities are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to realize the benefits of the temporary differences and within the amount of the reversal expected to occur in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount in deferred tax assets must be reviewed at each balance sheet date. The carrying amount in those that no longer have any sufficient taxable income to recover all or part of the asset should be adjusted down. Those that are not originally recognized as deferred income tax assets should also be reexamined at each balance sheet date. The book amount in those that are likely to generate taxable income in the future for the recovery of all or part of their assets should be adjusted up.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured in accordance with the expected liability liquidation or the tax rate in the period when the asset is realized. The tax rate is based on the tax rate and tax laws that are legislated or substantively legislated at the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences of the manner in which an enterprise expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.

3.

  • Current and deferred income tax

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the profit or loss, except for the current and deferred income taxes related to the items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in the equity are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in the equity.

V. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation and uncertainty

When the Company adopts accounting policies, the Company’s management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that are based on historical experience and other factors that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

Management will review the estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis. If a revision of an estimate affects only the current period, it is recognized in the period in which it is revised. If a revision of an accounting estimate affects both the current and future periods, it is recognized in the period in which it is revised and in the future periods.

XII. Post-employment benefits plan

  • (i) Defined contribution plan

The pension system of the Company under the “Labor Pension Act” is a government-administered defined contribution pension plan with contributes 6% of employees' monthly salaries contributed to the personal accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized in the comprehensive income statements a total of NT$686 thousand and NT$843 thousand, respectively, in accordance with the percentage of the defined contribution plan. (ii) Defined benefit plan

The Company has a retirement plan for its regular employees; the Labor Standards Act has been in effect since March 1998. The calculation of seniority of the Company's employees prior to the implementation of the Labor Standards Act was in accordance with the “Regulations for the Implementation of Post-Employment and Retirement” of the “Personnel Management Regulations” of the Company, which came into effect on January 1, 1989. Therefore, if the Company's employees who were employed before the implementation of the Labor Standards Act retire or are laid off, their seniority for determining pension or severance will be calculated in two stages as follows: (1) For seniority prior to the implementation of the Labor Standards Act, pension or severance shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the “Regulations for the Implementation of Post-Employment and Retirement” of the “Personnel Management Regulations” of the Company, which came into effect on January 1, 1989. (ii) The seniority after the implementation of the Labor Standards Act shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Standards Act.

The pension system of the Company under the “Labor Standards Act” is a governmentadministered defined benefit pension plan. Since August 2003, The Company has been appropriating 2% of employees' monthly salaries to pension funds, which is deposited by the Supervisory Committee of Labor Retirement Reserve in the Committee's name into a special account at the Bank of Taiwan. Before the end of the year, if the balance in the special account is estimated to be insufficient to pay for employees who are expected to meet the retirement requirements in the following year, the difference will be made up in one lump sum by the end of March of the following year. The management of the special account is entrusted to the Bureau of Labor Funds, the Ministry of Labor. The Consolidated Company has no right to influence the investment management strategy.

The amounts included in the Company’s balance sheets for defined benefit plans are shown below:

The Company is exposed to the following risks due to the pension system under the Labor Standards Act:

  1. Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor invests the labor pension fund in domestic and foreign equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits through its own management or entrusted third parties, but the amount allocated to the Company's plan assets is based on the income at a rate no less than the local bank's 2-year time deposit rate.

  2. Interest rate risk: A decrease in interest rates on government bonds will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation, but the return on debt investment in plan assets will also increase, which will have a partially offsetting effect on the net defined benefit obligation.

  3. Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the plan member's future salary. Therefore, increases in plan member’s salary will result in an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The present value of the Company's defined benefit obligation was actuarially determined

by a qualified actuary and the significant assumptions at the measurement date were as follows:

Discount rate
Expected rate of salary increase
December 31, 2020
0.375%
1.500%
December 31, 2019
0.625%
1.500%

The amount by which the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) if there are reasonable possible changes in significant actuarial assumptions, with all other assumptions held constant, is as follows:

Discount rate
Increase by 0.25%
Decrease by 0.25%
Expected rate of salary increase
Increase by 0.25%

In addition, if the Company complies with the regulations of the competent authorities, the remaining balance after setting aside or reversing the special reserve in accordance with the law, together with the accumulated unappropriated earnings, shall be retained at the discretion of the Board of Directors for business needs. The Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for the distribution of earnings and submit it to the shareholders for a resolution to distribute dividends to shareholders.

The Company is a stable and growing company. In order to meet the operational development plan and achieve the goal of the diversified operation, in case shareholder dividend is distributed, the cash dividend portion should be no less than 10% of the shareholder dividend distributed that year.

The earnings distribution should be ratified at the shareholders' meeting to be held in the following year.

The Company has provided and reversed the special reserve in accordance with the letter JinGuan-Zheng-Fa-Zi No. 1010012865 and the provisions of the “Questions and Answers on the Application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) to the Provision of Special Reserve.” If the amount debited to the other shareholders’ equity is subsequently reversed, the reversed amount can be distributed.

The legal reserve should be provided until the balance reaches the Company's total paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to make up losses. If the Company has no losses, the excess of legal reserve over 25% of the paid-in capital may be distributed in cash in addition to capitalization as equity.

At the shareholders' annual meetings held on June 15, 2020 and June 24, 2019, the Company

  1. Methods, valuation techniques and input values for measuring the fair value of financial instruments

  2. (1) The fair values of financial instruments with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets are determined by reference to quoted market prices (including listed stocks and beneficiary certificates of open-end funds, etc.).

  3. (2) The Company holds financial assets measured at fair value in Level 3, which are non-listed stocks, and the fair value is measured primarily by the income, market and asset methods. The estimates or assumptions used are based on information and estimates of future cash flows with reference to market comparable transactions. The major unobservable input values include the discount for the absence of control at 19.68% and 21.45% as of December 31 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the discount for the risk of lack of marketability at 16.54%~26.10% and 16.58% 22.67% as of December 31 2020 and 2019, respectively. The fair value of the investments would decrease by NT$9,206 thousand and NT$17,985 thousand, respectively, if the discount for the absence of control increases by 1%, and by NT$11,861 thousand and NT$8,744 thousand, respectively, if the discount for the risk of lack of marketability increases by 1%.

(iv) Purpose and policy of financial risk management

The Company's financial risk management objective is to manage market risk (including interest rate risk and other price risks), credit risk and liquidity risk associated with operating activities. The Company identifies, measures and manages the aforementioned risks in accordance with the Company's policies and risk appetite.

The Company has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for the aforementioned financial risk management in accordance with relevant regulations. Significant financial activities are subject to review by the Board of Directors in accordance with relevant regulations and internal control systems. During the implementation of the financial risk management activities, the Company did comply with the relevant regulations established for financial risk management.

1. Market risk

Market risk refers to the potential loss that the Company may suffer from the related transactions due to changes in market interest rates or prices. The Company assesses that the impact of market risk on financial assets and liabilities is limited.

There have been no changes in the Company's exposure to market risk of financial instruments and how it manages and measures such exposures.

  • (1) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of fluctuations in the fair value of financial instruments or future cash flows due to market changes. The Company's interest rate risk is mainly related to floating-rate time deposits. The Company assesses that the change in interest rates does not impact the Company's net profits before tax.

  • (2) Other price risk

The Company has price risk due to equity securities investments and fund beneficiary certificates. If the equity and fund prices had increased/decreased by 1%, profit or loss would have increased/decreased by NT$112 thousand for both 2020 and 2019 due to the change in fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Other comprehensive income would have increased/decreased by NT$11,166 thousand and NT$12,020 thousand for 2020 and 2019, respectively, due to the change in fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

108

2. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss resulting from the default of contractual obligations by the counterparties. As of the balance sheet date, the Company's maximum exposure to the credit risk of financial loss due to nonperformance by counter-parties is mainly from the carrying amount in financial assets recognized in individual balance sheets.

The business unit manages customer credit risk in accordance with the Company's policies, procedures and controls for customer credit risk. The credit risk of all customers is evaluated by taking into account the customer's financial condition, historical transaction experience and the current economic environment. The Company also uses certain credit enhancement tools (such as advance on sales) at appropriate times to reduce the credit risk of specific customers.

3.

The Company does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or to any group of counterparties with similar characteristics. Liquidity risk

The Company manages and maintains sufficient positions of cash and cash equivalents to support its operations and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk Schedule

The below details the analysis of the remaining contractual maturities of the Company's non-derivative financial liabilities with contractual repayment periods, which are based on the earliest possible date on which the Company can be required to make repayment, and is prepared using the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities, which include cash flows of interest and principal.
