Independent Auditors' Review Report

To the Board of Directors

Formosa Plastics Corporation:

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Formosa Plastics Corporation (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”) as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as well as the changes in equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Republic of China. A review of the consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As stated in Note 4(b), the consolidated financial statements included the financial statements of certain non-significant subsidiaries, which were not reviewed by independent auditors. These financial statements reflect total assets amounting to $28,725,451 thousand and $26,773,248 thousand, constituting 5.23% and 5.15% of consolidated total assets, total liabilities amounting to $16,942,358 thousand and $13,727,241 thousand, constituting 8.14% and 7.75% of consolidated total liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and total comprehensive income (loss) amounting to $(49,282) thousand, $(363,699) thousand, $246,210 thousand and $(862,440) thousand, constituting (1.32)%, 23.22%, 201.68% and (7.54)% of consolidated total comprehensive income (loss) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Furthermore, as stated in Note 6(f), the other equity accounted investments of the Group in its investee companies of $129,417,191 thousand and $117,484,572 thousand as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and its equity in net earnings on these investee companies of $521,024 thousand, $86,412 thousand, $618,075 thousand and $942,859 thousand for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were recognized solely on the financial statements prepared by these investee companies, but not reviewed by independent auditors.

KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

Qualified Conclusion

Except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investee companies described in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph above been reviewed by independent auditors, based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and of its consolidated financial performance for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Other Matter

We did not review the financial statements of certain investee companies which represented investments in other entities accounted for using equity method. Those financial statements were reviewed by other auditors, whose review reports have been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those, are based solely on the review reports of other auditors. The aforementioned investments accounted for using the equity method amounting to $100,293,157 thousand and $96,744,446 thousand, constituting 18.26% and 18.62% of consolidated total assets as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the related share of profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method amounting to $883,503 thousand, $(14,290) thousand, $2,433,609 thousand and $1,493,750 thousand, constituting 65.78%, (1.33)%, 142.83% and 42.21% of consolidated total profit before tax for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Kuo, Hsin-Yi and Ko, Hui-Chih.

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2024 and 2023

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

(1) Company history

Formosa Plastics Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 5, 1954, and established its factories in Kaohsiung City. The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) engage in the manufacture and sale of plastic raw materials, chemical fibers, and petrochemical products. The Company has gone through several capital increases and established many divisions, and become a well-diversified enterprise.

(2) Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements:

The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were authorized for issuance by the board of directors on August 8, 2024.

(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:

(a) The impact of the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. which have already been adopted.

The Group has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, from January 1, 2024:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”
  • Amendments to IAS 1 “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants”
  • Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 “Supplier Finance Arrangements”
  • Amendments to IFRS 16 “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback”

(b) The impact of IFRS issued by the FSC but not yet effective

The Group assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2025, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • Amendments to IAS 21 “Lack of Exchangeability”

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Group, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:

Standards or Interpretations Content of amendment Effective date per IASB
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture” The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 (2011) in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. Effective date to be determined by IASB
The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary.
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” The new standard introduces three categories of income and expenses, two income statement subtotals and one single note on management performance measures. The three amendments, combined with enhanced guidance on how to disaggregate information, set the stage for better and more consistent information for users, and will affect all the entities. January 1, 2027
• A more structured income statement: under current standards, companies use different formats to present their results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. The new standard promotes a more structured income statement, introducing a newly defined ‘operating profit’ subtotal and a requirement for all income and expenses to be allocated between three new distinct categories based on a company’s main business activities.

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Standards or Interpretations Content of amendment Effective date per IASB
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” • Management performance measures (MPMs): the new standard introduces a definition for management performance measures, and requires companies to explain in a single note to the financial statements why the measure provides useful information, how it is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined under IFRS Accounting Standards.
• Greater disaggregation of information: the new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes. January 1, 2027
IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” The new standard allows eligible subsidiaries to apply the reduced disclosure requirements in the new standard while applying the requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards except for the disclosure requirements. Eligible subsidiaries may voluntarily choose to apply the new standard in its financial statements provided that, at the reporting date:
• it does not have public accountability; and
• its ultimate or intermediate parent produces consolidated financial statements under IFRS Accounting Standards.
A subsidiary applying the new standard is required to clearly state that the new standard has been adopted. January 1, 2027

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Standards or Interpretations Content of amendment Effective date per IASB
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments” The amendments set out:
1. The company generally derecognises its trade payable on the settlement date. However, the amendments provide an exception for the derecognition of financial liabilities. The exception allows the company to derecognise its trade payable before the settlement date, potentially, when it uses an electronic payment system that meets all of the following criteria:
• no practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instruction;
• no practical ability to access the cash to be used for settlement as a result of the payment instruction; and
• the settlement risk associated with the electronic payment system is insignificant.
2. An additional SPPI test for financial assets with contingent features that are not related directly to a change in basic lending risks or costs – e.g. where the cash flows change depending on whether the borrower meets an ESG target specified in the loan contract. The amendments also include additional disclosures for all financial assets and financial liabilities that have certain contingent features that are:
• not related directly to a change in basic lending risks or costs; and
• are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. January 1, 2026

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.

The Group does not expect the following other new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”
  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards—Volume 11

$ 11,804,561 11,829,847 11,795,560

(ii) Retained earnings

According to the Company’s Articles of Association, the Company’s annual net earnings, after providing for income tax and covering the losses of previous years, are first set aside for legal reserve at the rate of 10% thereof. However, this is not the case when the statutory surplus reserve has reached the amount of paid-in capital of the Company. In addition, a special reserve shall also be set aside as necessary. The remainder plus the undistributed earnings at the beginning of the same period, if any, should be distributed as part of the appropriation of earnings by the Board of Directors for resolution by the shareholders at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

According to the Company’s Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is authorized to distribute cash dividends by the attendance of at least two-thirds of the directors and the resolution of a majority of the directors attended, and to report the distribution to the Shareholders’ Meeting; the distribution of stock dividends is proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting for resolution.

The Company's business is a mature industry with table profits each year. The Company also adopts a dividend policy that combines cash dividends, capitalization from earnings, and capitalization from capital surplus. At least 50% of the Company's distributable earnings, after deducting legal reserve and special reserve, should be distributed as cash dividends, with cash dividends as the first priority, and the combined ratio of capitalization from earnings to capital surplus and from capitalization to capital surplus should not exceed 50% of the total dividends. 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

(Continued)

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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) Legal reserve

When a company incurs no loss, it may, pursuant to a resolution by a Shareholders’ Meeting, distribute its legal reserve by issuing new shares or by distributing cash, and only the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25% of capital may be distributed.

2) 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 first-time adoption of the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the FSC, unrealized revaluation increments and cumulative translation adjustments (gains) of $2,790,507 thousand under shareholders’ equity were reclassified to retained earnings. When the related assets are used, disposed of, or reclassified, the Company may reverse the appropriation of the special reserve in proportion to the original appropriation. The carrying amount of the special reserve amounted to $2,790,507 thousand as of June 30, 2024, December 31 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

In accordance with the requirements issued by the FSC, a portion of earnings shall be allocated as special reserve during earnings distribution. If the Company has already reclassified a portion of earnings to special reserve under the preceding subparagraph, it shall make supplemental allocation of special reserve for any difference between the amount it has already allocated and the amount of the current-period total net reduction of other shareholders’ equity. An equivalent amount of special reserve shall be allocated from the after-tax net profit in the period, plus items other than after-tax net profit in the period, that are included in the undistributed current-period earnings and the undistributed prior-period earnings. A portion of undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified to special earnings reserve (and does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to the net reduction of other shareholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholders’ equity shall qualify for additional distributions.

3) Earnings distribution

The amounts of cash dividends for the 2023 and 2022 earnings distribution had been approved at the shareholders’ meeting held on June 20, 2024 and May 30, 2023, respectively, as follows:

2023 2022
Dividends distributed to ordinary shareholders:
Cash $ 6,365,741 26,736,112

Contract liabilities - unearned sales $ 854,775 1,309,623 1,574,379

For details on accounts receivable and allowance for impairment, please refer to Note 6(c).

The major change in the balance of the contract liabilities is the difference between the time frame in the performance obligation to be satisfied and the payment to be received.

The amounts of revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 that were included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the periods were $879,295 thousand and $887,765 thousand, respectively.

(s) Remunerations to employees

According to the Company's Articles of Association, once the Company has annual profit, it should appropriate 0.05%~0.5% of the pre-tax net profit before deducting remunerations to employees. However, if the Company has accumulated deficits, an amount should be reserved to offset the deficits.

The remunerations to employees amounted to $2,248 thousand, $1,482 thousand, $4,495 thousand and $4,538 thousand for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts were calculated using the Company's pre-tax income for each period before deducting the remunerations of employees multiplied by the proposed percentages of remunerations of employees as stated in the Company's Articles of Association. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or expenses for each period. If there are any subsequent adjustments to the actual remuneration amounts after the annual shareholders' meeting, the adjustments will be regarded as changes in accounting estimates and will be reflected in profit or loss in the following year.

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the remunerations to employees amounted to $8,989 thousand and $55,483 thousand, respectively, which were consistent with the actual distributions. The information is available on the Market Observation Post System website.

b) Sensitivity analysis

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, long and short-term borrowings, accounts payable and other payables which are denominated in foreign currencies. A strengthening of 1% of the NTD against the USD, EUR, JPY and RMB as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 would have decreased the net income before tax by $73,674 thousand and $83,735 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

c) Foreign exchange gains (losses) on monetary items

Since the Group has many kinds of functional currency, the information on foreign exchange gains (losses) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the foreign exchange gain (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $460,725 thousand and $194,640 thousand, respectively.

2) Other market price risk

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the sensitivity analyses for the changes in the securities price at the reporting date were performed using the same basis for comprehensive income as illustrated below:

Prices of securities at the reporting date For the six months ended June 30,

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:

A. Financial assets measured at amortized cost

If the quoted prices in active markets are available, the market price is established as the fair value. Otherwise, the estimated valuation or prices used by competitors are adopted.

B. 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.

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.

(Continued)


52

FORMOSA PLASTICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

If public quotations for financial instruments can be timely obtained frequently from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industry associations, pricing services, or regulatory authorities, wherein the prices represent actual and regularly occurring fair market transactions, the financial instrument is considered to have an active market with publicly quoted prices. Otherwise, the market is considered inactive. Typically, wide bid-ask spreads, significant increase in bid-ask spreads, or very low trading volumes, are indicators of an inactive market.

If the financial instruments possessed by the Group 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 in active markets are determined by reference to quoted market prices.

Measurements of fair value of financial instruments without an active market are based on valuation technique or quoted price from a competitor.

4) Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

There was no transfer between levels for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024.

5) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

6) The valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3 are to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price. According to the Group’s accounting policy, at the reporting date, the analysis of value changes of remeasured or reevaluated assets and liabilities is performed to ensure the reasonability of the evaluation results.

7) Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement

Most of the Group’s financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs involve only one significant unobservable input. Only equity investment with no-active markets have multiple significant unobservable inputs.

Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:

Item Valuation technique Significant unobservable inputs Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income – unquoted equity instruments Comparable Companies Approach Price to earnings ratio multiple, price to book ratio multiple, enterprise value to operating income ratio multiple, enterprise value to EBITDA multiple, discount for lack of marketability The estimated fair value would increase if the multiplier were higher

8) Fair value measurements in Level 3 – sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions

The Group’s measurement on the fair value of financial instruments is deemed reasonable despite different valuation models or assumptions may lead to different results. For fair value measurements in Level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions would have the following effects on profit or loss and other comprehensive income:

Inputs Change Recognized in other comprehensive income
Favorable change Unfavorable change
June 30, 2024
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income – unquoted equity instruments Price to earnings ratio multiple price to book ratio multiple, enterprise value to operating income ratio multiple, enterprise value to EBITDA multiple, discount for lack of marketability ± 1%
