Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Formosa Plastics Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Formosa Plastics Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“ IASs” ), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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 during our audits and the reports of the other auditors are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

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

1. Revenue Recognition

As the transfer of risks and rewards from the sales occurs at different points in time, it exposes the risk wherein revenue may not be recognized within the proper period. For this reason, revenue recognition is considered to be one of the key audit matters. The accounting policies and the related information for revenue recognition were discussed in Notes 4(o) and 6(o) to the consolidated financial statements.

KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity.

4-1

The principal audit procedures we have performed to address the aforementioned key audit matter included assessing the rationality of accounting treatment for revenue recognition; vouching the original sales documents according to the transactions with the customers during a selected period of time before and after the balance sheet date to evaluate whether the revenue is recorded appropriately.

2. Valuation of Inventories

The Group measured the cost and net realizable value of inventory and recognized a loss on the balance sheet date according to IAS 2 (including loss on obsolescence of inventories); However, to determine whether or not the loss of inventories should be recognized depends on the subjective judgment of the management. For this reason, the valuation of inventories is considered to be one of the key audit matters. The accounting policies and the related information for the valuation of inventories were discussed in Notes 4(h), 5 and 6(d) to the consolidated financial statements.

The principal audit procedures we have performed to address the aforementioned key audit matter included assessing the appropriateness of the policy on inventory valuation and slack loss recognition; ensuring whether the process of inventory valuation is in conformity with the accounting policies, confirming the sales price adopted by the management and the changes in the market price of inventory in the period after the balance sheet date; and sampling procedures to assess the reasonableness of the net realizable value of inventory.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investee companies under equity method. The Group's investments in the aforementioned investee companies constituted 32.31% and 31.25% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively; and the recognized shares of profit of associates accounted for using equity method of these investee companies constituted 53.15% and 63.66% of the consolidated income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The consolidated financial statements of the aforementioned investee companies were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these investee companies, is based solely on the reports of other auditors.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and have expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC interpretations and SIC interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the audit committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’ s financial reporting process.

4-2

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

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

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability 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 consolidated 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 the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

4-3

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsiu-Lan Chen and Chi-Lung Yu.

Except for the following items, the Group believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:

(i) IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" which contains classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment and hedge accounting.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1) Classification- Financial assets

IFRS 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS 9, derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial assets in the scope of the standard are never bifurcated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification. In addition, IAS 39 has an exception to the measurement requirements for investments in unquoted equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market (and derivatives on such an instrument) and for which fair value cannot therefore be measured reliable. Such financial instruments are measured at cost. IFRS 9 removes this exception, requiring all equity investments (and derivatives on them) to be measured at fair value.

Based on its assessment, the Group does not believe that the new classification requirements will have a material impact on its accounting for trade receivables and investments in equity securities that are managed on a fair value basis. At December 31, 2017, the Group had equity investments classified as available-for-sale with a fair value of $107,007,059 and financial assets measured at cost of $18,538,315 that are held for long-term strategic purposes. At initial application of IFRS 9, the Group has designated these investments as measured at FVOCI. Consequently, all fair value gains and losses will be reported in other comprehensive income, no impairment losses would be recognized in profit or loss and no gains or losses will be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal. The Group had currency fund classified as available-for-sale with a fair value of $4,574,268 that is held for sale strategic purposes. At initial application of IFRS 9, the Group has designated these investments as measured at FVTPL. Consequently, all fair value gains and losses will be reported in profit or loss. In addition, the adjustment included the Group’ s shares of the investment accounted for using equity method amounting to $194,029,840 at initial application of IFRS 9 adjusted other components of equity and retained earnings. The Group estimated the application of IFRS 9’ s classification requirements on January 1, 2018 resulting in the increase of $9,174,774 and $3,177,479 in other components and retained earnings, respectively.

2) Impairment-Financial assets and contact assets

IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. This will require considerable judgment as to how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on a probability-weighted basis.

The new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, except for investments in equity instruments, and to contract assets.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Under IFRS 9, loss allowances will be measured on either of the following bases:

‧ 12-month ECLs. These are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and
‧ Lifetime ECLs. These are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

Lifetime ECL measurement applies if the credit risk of a financial asset at the reporting date has increased significantly since initial recognition and 12-month ECL measurement applies if it has not. An entity may determine that a financial asset’s credit risk has not increased significantly if the asset has low credit risk at the reporting date. However, lifetime ECL measurement always applies for trade receivables and contract assets without a significant financing component; an entity may choose to apply this policy also for trade receivables and contract assets with a significant financing component.

The Group preliminary assessment that the adoption of the IFRS 9 impairment model would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3) Disclosures

IFRS 9 will require extensive new disclosures, in particular about hedge accounting, credit risk and expected credit losses. The Group’s assessment included an analysis to identify data gaps against current processes and the Group plans to implement the system and controls changes that it believes will be necessary to capture the required data.

Transition

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 will generally be applied retrospectively, except as described below.

‧ The Group will take advantage of the exemption allowing it not to restate comparative information for prior periods with respect to classification and measurement (including impairment) changes. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 generally will be recognized in retained earnings and reserves as at January 1, 2018.
‧ The following assessments have to be made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of initial application.
The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held.
(ii) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 "Revenue" and IAS 11 "Construction Contracts".

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 on its consolidated financial statements.

1) Sales of goods

For the sale of all products, revenue is currently recognized when the goods are delivered to the customers’ premises, which is taken to be the point in time at which the customer accepts the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership transfer. Revenue is recognized at this point provided that the revenue and costs can be measured reliably, the recovery of the consideration is probable and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.

Under IFRS 15, revenue will be recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods. The Group has performed a preliminary assessment when the timing of the related risks and rewards of the goods ownership transferred is similar to the timing when control is transferred and the Group does not expect that there will be a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2) Construction contracts

Contract revenue currently includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments, to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. When a claim or variation is recognized, the measure of contract progress or contract price is revised and the cumulative contract position is reassessed at each reporting date.

Under IFRS 15, claims and variations will be included in the contract accounting when they are approved.

Based on its assessment, the Group does not expect the application of IFRS 15 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The actual impacts of adopting the standards may change depending on the economic conditions and events which may occur in the future.

As of the date the following IFRSs that have been issued by the IASB, but not yet endorsed by the FSC:

Those which may be relevant to The Group are set out below:

Issuance / Release Dates January 13, 2016	Standards or Interpretations Content of amendment IFRS 16 "Leases" The new standard of accounting for lease is amended as follows:

‧ For a contract that is, or contains, a lease, the lessee shall recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet. In the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, a lessee shall present interest expense on the lease liability separately from the depreciation charge for the right of-use asset during the lease term.
‧ A lessor classifies a lease as either a finance lease or an operating lease, and therefore, the accounting remains similar to IAS 17.

The Group is evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance upon the initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:

The following significant accounting policies are adopted in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the reporting periods presented in these financial statements.

(a) Statement of compliance

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to the Guidelines) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC interpretations and SIC interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China (hereinafter referred to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC).

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(b) Basis of preparation

Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, except for the following material items in the statement of financial position.

(i) Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
(ii) The net defined benefit liabilities are measured as the fair value of the plan assets, less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Group is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’ s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand

(c) Basis of consolidation
(i) Principles of preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Changes in the ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

(ii) Subsidiaries included in the consolidated report are as follows:

(iii) Subsidiary not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.

(d) Foreign currency

(i) Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currency of the Group at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary assets and liabilities is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for the effective interest and payments during the period, and such assets and liabilities reported in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.

Foreign currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the date when fair value was determined. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary items measured at historical cost is translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss.

(ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Group’s functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to the Group’s functional currency at average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Group disposes of only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planed nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign currency gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under any one of the following conditions. All other assets are classified as non-current.

(i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;
(ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(iv) The asset is cash and cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

A liability is classified as current under any one of the following conditions. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

(i) The liability is expected to be settled during the Group’s normal operating cycle;
(ii) The liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(iv) The Group does not have any unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and cash in bank. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are classified under cash equivalents.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(g) Financial instruments

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

(i) Financial assets

Financial assets are categorized into available-for-sale financial assets, loans, and receivables.

1) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and dividend income, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in other equity interest in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and is included in other income and expenses in statement of comprehensive income. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at cost less impairment loss, and are included in financial assets measured at cost.

Dividend income from equity investments is recognized when the Group obtains the right to receive the dividend (usually the ex-dividend date) and is recognized in other income.

2) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, which comprise accounts receivable and other receivables. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses, except for short-term receivables in which the effect of discounting is immaterial. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

Interest income from receivables is recognized in other income.

3) Impairment of financial asset

Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, a financial asset is assessed for impairment at reporting date. A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a ‘loss event’) that occurred subsequent to the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets that can be estimated reliably.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes delinquency or default (such as unpaid or delayed payment of interest or principal) by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an available-for-sale investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is accounted for as objective evidence of impairment.

All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Objective evidence that receivables are impaired includes historical trends of collection and increasing level of overdue receivables which are collected beyond the credit term.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is determined based on the excess of its carrying amount over the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at cost is determined based on the excess of its carrying amount over the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss is not reversible in subsequent periods.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is written off directly against its carrying amount, except for accounts receivable, in which an impairment loss is credited to an allowance account against the receivables. When a receivable is determined to be uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery of receivable written off is charged to the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance accounts are recognized into profit or loss.

Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognized by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the other equity interest in equity to profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss of a financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before impairment was recognized at the reversal date.

Impairment losses recognized on available-for-sale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in other equity interest in equity.

Impairment losses and recoveries on receivables are recognized in profit or loss.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

4) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash inflow from the asset are terminated, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

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

If the transferred asset is part of a larger financial asset and the part transferred qualifies for derecognition in its entirety, the previous carrying amount of the larger financial asset is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the relative fair values of those parts.

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt or equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized based on the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss under nonoperating income and expenses.

2) Other financial liabilities

Except for those held-for-trading or is designated at fair value through profit or loss, financial liabilities which comprise of short-term and long-term loans, and accounts and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction cost at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in finance costs.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

3) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the contractual obligation thereon has been discharged or cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

4) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are presented on a net basis when the Group has legally enforceable rights to offset, and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted-average method. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(i) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over their financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The consolidated financial statements include the Group’ s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date when significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.

Unrealized profits resulting from the transactions between the Group and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’ s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses on transactions with associates are eliminated in the same way, except to the extent that the underlying asset is impaired.

When the Group’ s share of losses exceeds its interest in associates, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

(j) Joint venture

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Those parties are called joint ventures. Joint ventures should account the rights from the joint arrangement as an investment, and account it for using equity method according to IAS 28, unless, the entity is exempted from applying the equity method as specified in the standard.

(k) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset, any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, and any borrowing cost eligible for capitalization. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment.

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, unless the useful life and the depreciation method of a significant part of an item of property, plant and equipment are the same as the useful life and depreciation method of another significant part of that same item.

Gain or loss arising from the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and is charged to profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent cost

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure can be assessed reasonably, and will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. On-going repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided over their estimated useful lives by using the straight-line method. Each significant item of property, plant and equipment is evaluated individually and depreciated separately if it possesses different useful life. The depreciation charge for each period is recognized in profit or loss.

Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

1) Buildings and constructions: 3 to 55 years.
2) Machinery and equipment: 2 to 25 years.
3) Other facilities: 3 to 15 years.

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

(l) Lease
(i) Lessor

Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset, and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

(ii) Lessee

Operating leases are not recognized in the Group’s balance sheets.

Payments made under operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(m) Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
- 1) Initial Recognition

When Yung Chia Chemical Industries Corp. was acquired, the excess of original investment cost over the fair value of net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill.

2) Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(iii) Subsequent expenditure:

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

(iv) Amortization:

The depreciable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life, from the date that they are made available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Technical development expense 5~15 years

The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year-end. Any change thereof is treated as a change in an accounting estimate, and is charged to profit or loss.

(n) Impairment of non-derivative financial assets

At each balance sheet date, an assessment is made whether there is any indication that an asset (including inventories, deferred tax assets, and other non-financial assets) may have been impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for the individual asset, then the Group will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash-generating unit (CGU).

For goodwill, an assessment is made whether there is any such indication exists. The recoverable amount for individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Such reduction is treated as an impairment loss, which is charged to profit or loss.

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of that asset is estimated. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The increase in the carrying amount shall not exceed the carrying amount (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Notwithstanding whether indicators exist, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or those not yet in use is tested at least annually. Impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the acquirer’s CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If the carrying value of the CGUs exceeds the recoverable amount thereof impairment loss is recognized and allocated to reduce the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited.

(o) Revenue recognition

(i) Sales of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary business activities is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

(ii) Construction contracts

Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments, to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred to date relative to the estimated total contract costs. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion is assessed with reference to surveys of work performed. Otherwise, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract expenses are recognized as incurred unless they create an asset related to future contract activity. An expected loss on a contract is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(iii) Rental

Revenue from sub-lease of property, plant and equipment is recognized as rental income on accrual basis.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(p) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss for the period in which services are rendered by employees.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’ s net obligation in respect of a defined benefit pension plan is calculated separately for the plan by estimating the discounted present value of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. Any unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted from aforementioned net obligation. The discount rate is the yield on the reporting date of government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

An actuarial calculation of pension costs and related liabilities are performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, an asset is recognized but the recognized asset is limited to the total of any unrecognized past service costs and the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liabilities (assets), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group can reclassify the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings or other equity. If the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to other equity, they shall not be reclassified to profit or loss or recognized in retained earnings in a subsequent period.

Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan are also recognized as pension expenses when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, change in the present value of defined benefit obligation and any related actuarial gains or losses and past service cost that was not previously recognized.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(iii) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(q) Income taxes

Tax expense comprises current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax shall be included in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction or event which is recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current tax comprises the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax lows) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date, and any adjustments for current tax of prior periods.

Deferred tax is recognized for the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax is recognized for all temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax arises from:

(i) the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination, and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss); or
(ii) the investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint ventures, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future; or
(iii) the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax is measured, at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

The Group offset deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities only if:

(i) the Group has a legal enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
1) the same taxable entity; or
2) different taxable entities which intent either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously; in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for the carryforward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset will be utilized.

(r) Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share is calculated based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Group divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

(s) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may incur revenues and incur expenses. Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’ s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about allocating the resources to the segment and assessing its performance.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

The Information about the assumptions and estimation uncertainties of valuation of inventories that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is as follows:

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Refer to note 6(d) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

6) Actuarial assumptions

The following are the principal actuarial assumptions as of December 31, 2017 and 2016:

Discount rate Rate of future salary increases	For the years ended December 31,
	2017 2016 % 1.25 % 1.25 % 2.85 % 2.50

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Based on the actuarial report, the Company is expected to make contributions of $128,075 to the defined benefit plans for the one year period after the reporting date.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan is 11 years.

7) Sensitivity analysis

When calculating the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the Company should use judgments and estimates in determining the related actuarial assumptions at balance sheet date, including discount rate, expected return on plan assets and future salary increases. Any changes in actuarial assumptions may significantly impact the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the effects of the present value of the defined benefit obligation arising from changes in principal actuarial assumptions were as follows:

December 31, 2017 Discount rate (change 0.25%) Future salary increases (change 1.00%) December 31, 2016 Discount rate (change 0.25`％`) Future salary increases (change 1.00`％`)	Effect of defined benefit obligations Increase Amount Decrease Amount $ (217,664) 227,501 968,975 (830,255) (215,937) 226,071 968,923 (824,447)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. The sensitivity analysis adopts the same methods for determining the defined benefit assets at balance sheet date.

The same methods and assumptions are adopted in the two-year sensitivity analysis.

(ii) Defined contribution plan

The Group contributes an amount equal to 6% of the employee’s monthly wages to the Labor Pension personal account with the Bureau of the Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act, under which, the Group is not required to bear the regulated or putative obligation subsequent to the payment of fixed-rate contribution.

The Group’s pension costs under the defined contribution pension plan amounted to $277,901 and $271,339 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The information presented above is for reference only.

(m) Capital and other equity

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s government registered total authorized capital and issued capital stock both amounted to $63,657,408, divided into $6,365,741 thousand shares of stock with $10 par value per share. All issued shares were paid up upon issuance.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

According to the R.O.C. Company Act, capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit, and only the realized capital surplus can be used to increase the common stock or be distributed as cash dividends. The aforementioned realized capital surplus includes capital surplus resulting from premium on issuance of capital stock and earnings from donated assets received. According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, capital increases by transferring capital surplus in excess of par value should not exceed 10% of the total common stock outstanding.

(ii) Retained earnings

According to the rules of the Company’s articles and Company Act, the Company’s annual net profit, after providing for income tax and covering the losses of previous years, is first set aside for legal reserve at the rate of 10% thereof. In addition, a special reserve in accordance with applicable laws and regulations shall also be set aside. The remainder plus the undistributed earnings of the previous years are distributed or left undistributed for business purposes according to the resolution of the stockholders’ dividend distribution plan, which are initially proposed by the Board of Directors and adopted by the shareholders in the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting.

The Company also adopts a dividend distribution policy, under which, net earnings after deducting the legal reserve and special reserve may first be distributed by way of cash dividends which shall be equal to at least fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s total dividend distribution every year. The capitalization of earnings and capital surplus shall not exceed fifty percent of the total dividends.

1) Special reserve

As the Company opted to avail of the exemptions allowed under IFRS 1 “ First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” during the Company’s firsttime adoption of the IFRS as endorsed by the FSC, unrealized revaluation increments and cumulative translation adjustments (gains) of $2,790,507, which were previously recognized in shareholders’ equity were reclassified to retained earnings. In accordance with Regulatory Permit No. 1010012865 as issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012, a special reserve is appropriated from retained earnings for aforementioned reclassification. In addition, during the use, disposal or reclassifications of relevant assets, this special reserve is reverted to distributable earnings proportionately. The carrying amount of special reserve amounted to $2,790,507 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Pursuant to the Regulatory Permit mentioned above, the Company is also required to set aside an additional special reserve, as part of the distribution of its annual earnings, equal to the difference between the amount of above-mentioned special reserve and net debit balance of the other components of stockholders’ equity.

(s) Financial instruments

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from operating activities, primarily accounts receivable and notes receivable.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In order to minimize credit risk, management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Group’s ten largest customers accounted for 36% and 33% of accounts receivable, respectively. The Group did transactions with a large number of unrelated customers so that management believes no concentration of credit risk.

(ii) Liquidity risk

The following are the remaining contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments but excluding the impact of netting agreements:

Contractual cash flow	Within 6 months	6~12months	1~2years

The Group’s exposure to significant foreign currency risk was as follows:

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the foreign currency exchange fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans and borrowings, accounts payable and other payables which are denominated in different foreign currencies. A 1% depreciation of the NTD against the USD, EUR, JPY and CHF as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 would have decreased and increased the net income after tax by $114,524 and $78,799 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This analysis is performed on the same basis assuming that all other variables remain constant and ignoring any impact of forecasted sales and purchases.

(iv) Interest rate analysis

The Group’ s exposure to interest rate risk arising from financial assets and liabilities is described in Note 6(s).

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rates of the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the liabilities bearing variable interest rates are outstanding for the whole year. A 1% increase or decrease in interest rate is assessed by management to be a reasonably possible change in interest rate.

An increase of 1% in interest rates mainly from loans with floating interest rates at the reporting date would have decreased net income after tax by $274,662 and $332,081 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value

The Group’ s valuation techniques and assumptions used for financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

If there is quoted price generated by transactions, the recent transaction price and quoted price data is used as the basis for fair value measurement. However, if no quoted prices are available, the discounted cash flows are used to estimate fair values.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

3) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

The fair value of the financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of listed equity instruments is based on the market prices that were published at main stock exchanges.

If the financial instruments possessed by the Company have quoted market prices in active markets, the fair value was as follows:

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices (includes publicly traded stocks).

4) There was no transfer between the fair value hierarchy levels for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

(t) Financial risk management

The Group seeks to ensure sufficient cost-efficient funding readily available when needed. The Group manages its exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk with the objective to reduce the potentially adverse effects the market uncertainties may have on its financial performance.

(i) Framework of risk management

The plans for material treasury activities are reviewed by Audit Committees and/or Board of Directors in accordance with procedures required by relevant regulations or internal controls. During the implementation of such plans, Corporate Treasury function must comply with certain treasury procedures that provide guiding principles for overall financial risk management and segregation of duties.

1) Accounts receivable and other receivables

To maintain the credit quality of receivables, a credit risk management policy has been established. Under this policy, each customer is analyzed individually regarding customer’ s financial situation, external and internal credit rating, historical trading record, and current economic condition which may affect customer’s payment ability. In addition, some methods are adopted to reduce the credit risk for specific customers, such as prepayment and insurance of accounts receivable.

2) Investments

The Group mainly invests in Petrochemical Industry, which belongs to mature industry with lower risk. In addition, the Group’s prudent management creates financial health without high-leveraged investment.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

3) Guarantee

The Group’s endorsement policy is limited to endorsement of subsidiaries or associates with business relationship. The endorsed items are usually related to financing and import duty guarantee. Due to associates’ financial health created by prudent management, management of the Group believes that they are expecting no significant losses from endorsement.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it will always have sufficient current funds, such as cash and cash equivalent, securities with high liquidity and sufficient credit line from banks, to meet its liabilities when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

(iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices that will affect the Group’ s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

1) Foreign currency risk

To protect against reductions in value and the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in foreign exchange rates, the Group utilizes derivative financial instruments, including currency forward contracts and cross currency swaps, to hedge its currency exposure. These instruments help to reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements.

2) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk arising from long-term borrowings at floating interest rates. To reduce the risk caused by floating interest rates, the Group utilized interest rate swap contracts to partially hedge its exposure.

(u) Capital management

Although business operated by the Group has reached the stage of maturity, a sufficient amount of capital is still required to support the operation of investee companies, construction and expand its production facilities and equipment.

The Group’s policy is to maintain adequate financial resources and operating plan to meet future operating capital, capital expenditure, research and development expenditure, loans reimbursement, and dividend distribution.

(a) General information:

The Group’ s five reportable segments are: plastic division, polyolefin division, polypropylene division, tairylan division and chemical division. Plastic division is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of PVC; polyolefin division is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of polyethylene; polypropylene division is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of polypropylene; tairylan division is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of acrylic esters; chemical division is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of acrylonitrile.

The Group’ s reportable segments are responsible for the Company's strategic business units, including the manufacturing and supplying of different products. Since each strategic business unit requires different technology and marketing strategies, it must be administered separately.

No tax expenses are allocated to the reporting segment. In addition, the reporting segment does not include depreciation and amortization of significant non-cash items. The reportable amount is similar to that of the report used by the chief operating decision maker.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 4. The operating segment’s profit of the Group uses the operating income before tax as the measurement and basis of performance evaluation. The Group treats intersegment sales and transfers as third-party transactions. They are measured at market price.

Operating segments are combined and reconciled as follows:

Revenue: From external customers From sales among intersegments Total revenue Interest expense Depreciation and amortization Reportable segment profit or loss Asset: Capital expenditure of non-current assets Reportable segment assets Reportable segment liabilities			For t	he year ended D	ecember 31, 20	17
