Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. However, there is no guarantee that significant misstatements can be detected with the audit work performed in accordance with Standards on Auditing. Misstatements can be caused by fraud or error. If the misstatement for individual amount or aggregate could reasonably be considered significant.

1. 7.Identify and evaluate the risk of significant misstatements caused by fraud or error in consolidated financial statements; Design and execute appropriate responding strategies for the evaluated risks; obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis for audit opinion. Since fraud might involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, false statement, or violations of internal control, the risk of undetected significant misstatements due to fraud is higher than that of error.

The Accountant is responsible for the guidance, supervision, and execution of the auditing case, and is also responsible for forming auditing opinion for the Formosa Group.

The matters being communicated between the Accountant and the governing body include the planning of the range and time for the audit, and significant audit discoveries (including the significant lack of internal control identified during the audit process).

The Acc

(Unless stated otherwise, the amounts’ unit is in NTD thousand)

I.Company history

Formosa Oilseed Processing Company Co., Ltd. (parent company, parent company and entities controlled by the parent company are hereafter referred to as “Consolidated Company”) was established in 1986. Since September 1993, the Company’s share has been listed for transaction on Taiwan Stock Exchange. The main businesses include the manufacturing and the selling of soybean oil (salad oil), soy flour, flour, oatmeal, corn, pet food, and import and export transactions. The Company’s subsidiary, Top Food Industry Corporation (Top Food), started to operate since October 2007, and its main business includes producing and selling flour. Thus, the parent company no longer engages in the production of flour. Formosa Oilseed Processing Co., Ltd., Ningbo (Formosa Oilseed Processing (Ningbo)) was reinvested in Mainland China in 1999 by the subsidiary, FORMOSA OIL PROCESSING (PANAMA) S.A. (FORMOSA PANAMA), which is 100% held by the parent company, and its business mainly engages in the processing, sales and wholesale trading of soybeans, rapeseed oil, oilseeds, and its byproducts. Owing to the local government’s expropriation of Formosa Oilseed Processing (Ningbo)’s land use right and plant and equipment, Formosa Oilseed Processing (Ningbo) temporarily terminated its operation in soybean and rapeseed oil, oilseeds and its byproducts’ processing and sales business, and only engaged in wholesale trading business since July 2015. In response to the market’s future developmental demand, the Consolidated Company expanded its business to poultry breeding and the wholesaling of agricultural products, and acquired Fu You An Kang Co., Ltd. (Fu You An Kang) by cash in February 2016. CHONG HSIANG INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. (former Yuan He Catering Co., Ltd., hereinafter “CHONG HSIANG INTERNATIONAL”) was established in October, 2011 upon approval, and originally engaged in catering business. Due to continuous deficit in operation, the business suspended in 2014. In consideration of operation and developing strategies, the transformation to sales of oil products has been resolved in 2018, and it is renamed as CHONG

IV.Summary of significant accounting policies

  • (1) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

  • (2) Basis of preparation

Except for net defined benefit liabilities recognized by the present value of defined benefit obligations less fair value of plan assets, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.

  • (3) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  1. the assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  2. the assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date; and

  3. cash and cash equivalents (excluding the assets restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.)

Current liabilities include:

  1. the liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading

  2. the liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date and

  3. the Consolidated Company does not have the substantive right at the balance sheet date to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

A liability that is not current shall be classified as a non-current liability.

An asset or a liability that is not current shall be classified as a non-current asset or liability.

(4) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the parent company and the entities controlled by the parent company (subsidiaries). The consolidated statements of comprehensive income has already included the operating profit or loss of

18
17

the acquired or disposed subsidiaries from the current acquisition date or until the disposal date. Adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Consolidated Company. All intracompany transactions, balances, income, and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. The total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the parent company and the non-controlling interests.

Changes in the Consolidated Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Consolidated Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Consolidated Company and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the parent company.

Please refer to Note VI(5), Table 4, and Table 5 for detailed information, percentage of ownership, and main businesses of subsidiaries.

(5) Foreign currencies

In preparation the financial statements of each entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are translated by the rate of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions into the functional currency.

Foreign currency monetary items shall be translated using the closing rate at the balance sheet date. The exchange differences arising from settlement or translation of monetary items shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency shall be translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was measured, and the exchange differences shall be recognized in profit or loss. When the profit or loss arising from exchange differences arising on the non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive income, the exchange differences arising on the retranslation of such profit or loss are also recognized in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency shall be translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, and shall not be translated again.

19
18

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the assets, and liabilities of the foreign operations (including the subsidiaries in other countries or the subsidiaries using currencies different from the Consolidated Company) are translated into the New Taiwan Dollars using exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(6) Inventories

Inventories include raw materials (in transit), supplies, finished goods, work in process, and merchandises. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value item by item, unless the inventories are in the same categories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale. The costs of inventories are calculated by weighted-average method.

Costs of biological assets transferred to agricultural products are measured by the fair value at the point of harvest less costs to sell.

(7) Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Consolidated Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. The Consolidated Company accounts for investments in associates by equity method.

Under the equity method, investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Consolidated Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associates. The Consolidated Company also recognizes the changes in the equity of associates attributable to the Consolidated Company in proportion to the percentage of ownership.

When the associates issue new shares, if the Consolidated Company does not subscribe in proportion to the percentage of ownership and result in the changes in percentage of ownership and increases or decreases in net worth of the invested equity, capital surplus and investments accounted for using equity method are adjusted for the increases or decreases. In debiting capital surplus for the aforementioned adjustments, any remaining difference is debited to retained earnings if capital surplus arising from investments accounted for using equity method is not enough for debiting purposes.

20
19

The entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with it carrying amount. The impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment, including goodwill. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

The gains or losses arising from the upstream and downstream transactions between the Consolidated Company and the associates are recognized in the consolidated financial statements, only to the extent unrelated to the Consolidated Company's interests in the associates.

(8) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost, and are measured subsequently by the cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairments. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated by straight-line method over the useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. If the lease term is shorter than the useful life, the property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the lease term. The residual value and the useful life of an item of property, plant, and equipment shall be reviewed at least at the end of the period, and the changes shall be accounted for as a change in an accounting estimates and applied prospectively.

The differences between the net disposal proceeds received and the carrying amount of the asset arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment losses were not recognized or reversed for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Depreciation expenses are provided on a straight-line basis over the useful lives as follows:

useful lives as follows:
Buildings
Main buildings of plant 3~55 years
Engineering systems 5~50 years
Machinery equipment 2~24 years
Transportation equipment 3~20 years
Testing equipment 2~11 years
Other equipment 2~24 years
Please refer to Note 8 for the amounts of property, plant and equipment pledged as
collateral for borrowings.
21
20

(9) Intangible assets

A separately acquired intangible asset with finite useful life shall be measured at its cost at initial recognition, and sequent measured by the cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets shall be depreciated over the useful life as follows by straight-line method. The estimated useful life, residual value and the amortization method shall be reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Any changes in estimates shall be applied prospectively. An intangible asset with indefinite useful life shall be presented at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

The difference between the net disposal proceeds received and the carrying amount of the asset arising from the derecognition of an item of intangible assets shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Amortization expenses are provided on a straight-line basis over the useful life as follows” Computer softwar 3~5 years

(10) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets The Consolidated Company shall assess at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an item of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible asset may be impaired. If any indication is present, the Consolidated Company shall assess the recoverable amount of the asset. If the Consolidated Company is unable to assess the recoverable amount of the asset, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit that the asset belongs to shall be assessed. Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or a cashgenerating unit is less than it carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cashgenerating unit shall be adjusted to its recoverable amount. The impairment losses shall be recognized in profit or loss.

When the impairment loss is reversed subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset or the cash-generating unit shall be increased to the revised recoverable amount. However, the increased carrying amount of the asset or the cash-generating unit attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. The reversal of impairment losses shall be recognized in profit or loss.

22
21

(11) Biological assets

A biological asset is initially recognized at cost plus transactions costs, and subsequently measured at its fair value less costs to sell. Any gains or losses arising from changes in measurements of fair value less costs to sell are recognized in profit or loss of the year of occurrence. A biological asset whose fair value can be measured reliably are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairments. Expenses associated with immature bearer biological assets during the breeding period are capitalized.

Biological assets whose fair value can be measured reliably are depreciated on a straightline basis over the production period. The Consolidated Company conducts testing for impairment on a regular basis. When there is objective evidence of impairment, impairment losses are recognized.

Agricultural produce harvested from the biological assets is measured at its fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest and transferred to inventories, and subsequently accounted for as inventories.

(12) Financial instruments

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

Financial assets or liabilities 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 issue of financial assets and liabilities. The transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss immediately.

1. Financial assets

A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

  • 1) Measurement types

The financial assets held by the Consolidated Company are financial assets at amortized cost.

A financial asset held by the Consolidated Company is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

23
22
  • A The financial asset is held in a business model whose objective is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows; and

  • B The cash flows occur at specific dates based on the contractual terms. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, notes receivables, accounts receivables, other receivables, and guaranteed deposits paid) are measured after initial recognition at amortized cost calculated by total carrying amount determined by effective interest method less any impairment losses. Any resulting foreign exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the total carrying amount of the financial assets, except for the two conditions as follows:

  • A Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial assets.

  • B Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial assets

Cash equivalents include highly liquid time deposits that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and with maturity dates that do not present significant risks of changes in value, that the Consolidated Company holds for the purpose of short-term cash commitments.

  • 2) Impairment of financial assets

At each balance sheet date, the Consolidated Company assesses the financial assets at amortized cost (including notes receivables and accounts receivables), by expected credit loss.

The Consolidated Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for notes receivables and accounts receivables. If the credit risk on other financial assets has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Consolidated Company measures the loss allowance for those financial assets at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. If the

24
23

credit risk on other financial assets has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Consolidated Company measures the loss allowance for those financial assets at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

Expected credit losses are the weighted average credit losses with the probability of default as the weight. 12-month expected credit losses are the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represent the expected credit losses that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. Lifetime expected credit loss is the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

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

  • 3) Derecognition of financial assets

The Consolidated Company only derecognizes the financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire, or the Consolidated Company transfers the financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets to other entities.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received shall be recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income in its entirety, the accumulated profit or loss shall not be reclassified to profit or loss, instead, directly to retained earnings.

  • 2.Financial liabilities

  • 1) Subsequent measurement All the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost by effective interest method.

  • 2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

At derecognition of financial liabilities, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) are recognized in profit or loss.

25
24

(13) Provisions

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, and in consideration of the risk and uncertainty of obligations.

  • (14) Revenue recognition

The Consolidated Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation after identifying performance obligations in the contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized at satisfaction of performance obligations

  1. Revenue from sales of goods

  2. Revenue from sales of goods arises from the sales of goods including oil, feed, and flour, etc.

The Consolidated Company recognizes revenue and accounts receivables when goods including oil, feed, and flour, etc. are delivered to the destination designated by the customers or departed. It’s the time when the customer has the discretion to direct the price of goods and usage, is primarily responsible for the resales, and the risk of obsolescence is transferred to the customer. Receipts in advance is recognized as contract liabilities before the goods are delivered to the destination designated by the customers or the delivery terms are fulfilled.

In processing outsourced contracts, as the significant risk and rewards of the ownership of the processed goods is not transferred, when the processing is outsourced, it is not treated as sales of goods.

  1. Processing revenue

Processing revenue arises from processing flour products. The Consolidated Company recognized relevant revenue when the services are rendered.

  1. Other operating revenue

  2. Other operating revenue arises from services, including unloading and weighing, and warehousing, etc. The amounts of revenue are collected by fixed unit prices based on number of tons handled. The Consolidated Company recognized relevant revenue when the services are rendered.

(15) Leases

At inception of a contract, the Consolidated Company and subsidiaries shall assess whether the contract is (or contains) a lease.

  1. The Consolidated Company as the lessor Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases
26
25

are classified as operating leases.

Under an operating lease, the lease payment is recognized as income on a straightline basis during the relevant lease term. The original direct cost incurred in obtaining the operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Consolidated Company as the lessee

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

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost (which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities, lease payments made before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets). Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement dates of the leases to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments (which comprise fixed payments and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate). The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Consolidated Company shall use the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

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

27
26

(16) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset form part of the cost of that asset shall be capitalized as part of the costs of the assets, until substantially all the activities necessary to prepare that asset for its intended use or sale is complete.

Except for the conditions aforementioned, other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period of occurrence.

(17) Employee benefits

  1. Short-term employee benefits

  2. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for employees’ service.

  3. Post-employment benefits

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses during the period employees rendering services.

Defined benefit costs (including service costs, net interests, and remeasurement) of defined benefit plans are calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Service costs (including current service costs) and net interests of net defined benefit liabilities are recognized as employee benefits expenses as incurred. Remeasurement (including actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets less interests) are recognized in other comprehensive income as incurred and stated in retained earnings. Remeasurement will not be reclassified to profit or loss subsequently.

Net defined benefit liabilities represent the deficit in the defined benefit plan. Net defined benefit assets shall not exceed the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

(18) Income taxes

The income tax expenses comprise current and deferred income taxes.

  1. Current income taxes

  2. The Consolidated Company determines the current profit (loss) in accordance with the rules established by each income tax declaration jurisdiction and calculate income tax payables (recoverables).

An additional tax on unappropriated earnings in accordance with the Income Tax Act of R.O.C. is recognized in the year that the shareholders’ meeting resolved the distribution of earnings.

28
27

Adjustments to prior years’ income tax payables are included in the income taxes of the current year.

  1. Deferred income taxes

Deferred income tax is determined by the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities in the financial statements.

A deferred tax liability is generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Carrying amount of deferred tax assets shall be reassessed at each balance sheet date. For the deferred tax assets recognized when it has become not probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered, decrease the carrying amount. The Consolidated Company reassesses the unrecognized deferred tax assets, and increases the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered entirely or partially.

Deferred income 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 balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Consolidated Company expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

  1. Current and deferred income taxes

Current and deferred income taxes re recognized in profit or loss. However, the current and deferred income taxes related to the items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly recognized in equity are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

V.Major sources of uncertainty arising from significant accounting judgments, estimates, and

assumptions

When the Consolidated Company adopts accounting policies, for information that is not available from other sources, the management has to make relevant judgments, estimates, and assumptions based on historical experiences and other relevant factors. The actual result may be different from the estimates.

When the Consolidated Company develops significant estimates, the management takes into consideration of significant estimates associated with cash flow forecast, growth rate, discount rate, profitability, etc. in the possible impacts of inflation and fluctuations of market interest rates , and will keep reviewing estimates and basic assumptions.

Information on uncertainty of major assumptions and estimates is as follows:

Impairment of inventories

Costs and relevant selling prices of inventories in transit and raw materials are affected by the international prices of raw materials, may fluctuate severely and result in the risk of net realizable value of raw materials lower than the carrying amounts. As the assessment of the net realizable value of raw materials by the management in accordance with the regulations in IAS 2 “Inventories” involves estimates and judgements, the change in the actual condition may significantly influence the results of the estimates.

1. Notes receivables

The average credit period of the notes receivables arising from sales of goods is 60 days. No interest is accrued for the notes receivables. The policies adopted by the Consolidated Company are only trading with counterparties with good credit quality, and acquiring sufficient collaterals to decrease the risk of financial losses due to default. The Consolidated Company rates the major customers by utilizing other public available financial information and historical transaction records. The Consolidated Company continues to monitor the credit risk exposure and the credit rating of the counterparties, and diversify the total transaction amount to different customers with qualified credit rating. Besides, the credit risk exposure is managed by reviewing and approving the credit amounts of counterparties each year.

The Consolidated Company estimates the expected credit loss at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit loss by simplified approach in accordance with IFRS 9. The Consolidated Company considers the past default records of customers, current financial condition, and reasonable forecast to the future economic condition to stipulate the expected credit loss rate. Based on the historical experiences of credit loss, as there is no significant difference of the types of losses among different groups of customers, the provision matrix doesn’t further classify groups of customers, and only determines expected credit loss by the days of overdue of notes receivables. If there is evidence indicating that the counterparty is confronting serious financial difficulty and the Consolidated Company is unable to reasonably expect the recoverable amount, the Consolidated Company directly writes off the relevant notes receivables. However, recourse activities will continue. The amounts recovered from recourse are recognized in profit or loss.

2. Accounts receivables

The Consolidated Company rates the major customers by utilizing other public available financial information and historical transaction records.

The Consolidated Company’s biological assets are the laying hens from the subsidiary, Fu You An Kang.

The Consolidated Company’s laying hens are mainly used to produce eggs. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Consolidated Company possessed 85 thousand and 68 thousand laying hens, respectively.

Owing to the short productive cycle of eggs, and the difficulty in obtaining the market price during the breeding period, and the likelihood of damage in biological assets caused by external factors such as climate and disease, the value estimated by discounted cash flows cannot be measured reliably. Thus, they are measured by the amount of cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, and the related expenses during the breeding period of immature bearer biological assets have been capitalized. Bearer biological assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the productive period, and the depreciation period is about 14 months.

The gains on changes in agricultural products originally recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $50,999 thousand and $42,794 thousand, respectively.

The Consolidated Company’s financial risks related to biological assets derive from price changes for laying hens and eggs. The Consolidated Company reviews the price expectations for laying hens and eggs on a regular basis, so as to consider the necessity in adopting active financial risk management measures.

The Consolidated Company is exposed to the risks below because of the pension system of the “Labor Standards Act.”:

  • 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits, etc., by self-utilization and conducting the mandated management by the Bureau of Labor Funds. The distributable amount of the plan asset shall not be lower than the return calculated by the interest rate for a two-year time deposit with local banks.
48
47
  • 2) Interest rate risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rates and corporate bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation. However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan assets’ investments in debt instruments.

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

The actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation was carried out by qualified actuaries. The principal assumptions used for the purpose of the actuarial valuations at the measurement date were as follows

Discount rate
Rate of expected future salary increase
December 31, 2024
1.500%
2.500%
December 31, 2023
1.250%
2.500%

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

Discount rate
Increase by 0.25%
Decrease by 0.25%
Rate of expected future salary increase
Increase by 0.25%

$ 1,014
$ (993 )
$ 485
$ (474 )

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

If the parent company may elect to distribute the employees’ remuneration in stock or in cash, in calculating the diluted earnings per share, assume the employees’ remunerations to be paid in stock, and add the diluted potential ordinary shares into the calculation of weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to calculate the diluted earnings per share, when the potential ordinary shares are dilutive. In calculating the diluted earnings per share in the next year before distribution of employees’ remuneration, the parent company shall keep considering the dilution of the potential ordinary shares.

(19) Capital risk management

  1. Objectives and policies of financial risk management

The primary financial instruments of the Consolidate Company include financial assets at amortized cost, receivables, payables, borrowings, and lease liabilities, etc. The financial management department of the Consolidated Company monitors and manages the financial risk relating to operations of the Consolidated Company by the internal risk report of analysis of exposure to risks based on the extent and scope of risks. The risks include market risk (including exchange rate risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

  1. Market risk

The Consolidated Company’s exposure to financial risks, including risk of changes in foreign exchange rate and changes in interest rates, result from operating activities.

There is no change in the exposure to market risk of financial instruments and the management and measurement to the exposure.

  • A. Exchange rate risk

Carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in different currencies from the functional currency as of the balance sheet date (including the monetary items denominated in different currencies from the functional currency that have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements).

Sensitivity analysis

The Consolidated Company is mainly affected by the fluctuations of the exchange rate of USD.

The table below is the sensitivity analysis under the circumstances of a strengthening/weakening of 5% of NTD (the functional currency) against the each relevant foreign currency. 5% is the sensitivity rate used for the Consolidated Company to report exchange rate risk to the key management, and also the management’s evaluation of possible reasonable variation range of exchange rates. The table below shows when functional currency of entities relatively appreciates by 5% to each relevant currency, the amount of changes in net profit before tax or equity. When NTD to each relative foreign currency depreciates by 5%, its impact on net profit before tax will be the same amount in reverse.

Impact of USD Impact of USD

The sensitivity analysis arises from the bank deposits, receivables and short-

term borrowings denominated in USD without engaging in cash flow hedge outstanding as of the balance sheet date.

B. Interest rate risk

Carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk as of the balance sheet date are as follows:

With fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets

With cash flow interest rate risk

2,162,850

1,994,141

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below is determined by the exposure to interest rate risk of the non-derivative financial instruments at the balance sheet date. An increase or decrease of 25 bp is the rate used for the Consolidated Company to report interest rates to key management, and also the evaluation of possible reasonable variation range of interest rates.

If all other variables were to remain constant, an increase or decrease of 25 bp in the interest rate would have decreased or increased the profit before tax by $135 thousand and $2,731 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This is primarily resulting from the exposure to interest rate risk of the demand deposits and borrowings with floating interest rates.

63
62

2. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial losses to the Consolidated Company. As of the balance sheet date, the max exposure to credit risk due to financial losses resulting from a default on the contractual obligations is primarily from the carrying amounts of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheets

The policies of the Consolidated Company are only entering into transactions with counterparties with good credit and acquiring sufficient guarantees if necessary, to decrease the risk due to financial losses resulted from default.

The counterparties of accounts receivables cover numerous customers and diversify in the sales of oil, feeds, and flour, etc. Except for the associate, Central Union Oil, the Consolidated Company is not significantly exposed to credit risk arising from any single counterparty or any group of counterparties with similar characteristics.

3. Liquidity risk

The objective of managing liquidity risk is guaranteeing sufficient financial flexibility by maintaining cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities with high liquidity, and sufficient credit lines from banks, etc., necessary in operation.

The table below is prepared based on the earliest date on which repayment may be required, and by the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities (including the principals and estimated interests). Therefore, bank loans of the Consolidated Company that may be required to repay immediately are listed in the earliest period of the table below, without considering the possibility that the banks enforce the right immediately. The maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared by the agreed repayment date.

64
63

The undiscounted interests of the cash flows of interests paid at floating interest rate are derived by the yield curve at the balance sheet date.
