INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Formosan Rubber Group Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Formosan Rubber Group Inc., which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the accompanying parent company only financial position of Formosan Rubber Group Inc. as of December 31,2024 and 2023, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Formosan Rubber Group Inc. in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31,2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

2

Key audit matters for Formosan Rubber Group Inc.’ parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 are stated as follows:

Valuation of Net Realizable Value of Real Estate For Sale

Summary of key issues for auditing

As of December 31, 2024, the value of real estate for sale on the parent company only balance sheet was NT$2,580,665 thousand primarily reflective of the completed properties and land held for sale. These items accounted for approximately 17% of the parent company only total assets. Please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 10 of the parent company only financial statements for detailed information. Formosan Rubber Group Inc. uses the lower of the cost or net realizable value for the valuation of real estate for sale. As the valuation of real estate for sale is subject to the effects of the cycle in the real estate market and the changes of the government policy and the determination of net realizable values for real estate for sale requires major judgment and estimates, it was listed as one of the audit priorities this year.

Audit procedures

The audit procedures were carried out by CPAs as follows:

  1. Acquisition of the data concerning the company’s assessment of lower of the costs and net realizable value;

  2. Random inspection of the ownership documents for the properties held for sale, in order to validate the integrity of the assessment;

  3. Random inspection of the data concerning the estimated selling price and the sale records of the most recent period, so as to determine the basis and reasonability of the management’s estimate of net realizable value.

Impairment of Property Investments

Summary of key issues for auditing

As of December 31, 2024, the value of property investments on the parent company only balance sheet was NT$3,135,611 thousand accounting for approximately 21% of the parent company only total assets. Please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 15 of the parent company only financial statements for detailed information. Management complies with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” by evaluating whether there are any signs indicating the investment properties may be impaired on each balance sheet date. Given the numerous assumptions involved, and the high uncertainty of accounting estimates, it was listed as one of the audit priorities this year.

3

Audit procedures

The audit procedures were carried out by CPAs as follows:

  1. Acquisition of the data concerning the company’s assessment of asset impairments according to cash generating units;

  2. Assessment of the reasonability of the management’s identification of impairment signs, assumptions and estimates used, such as the division of cash generating units, forecasting of cash flows, the appropriateness of the discount rate.

Other Matter – Reference to the Audit Report from Other Independent Auditor

The financial statements of Formosan Construction Corp., an investee with investments accounted for using equity method for the year 2024, were audited by another independent auditor. Hereby our opinion on the parent company only financial statements, insofar as it relates to the investments accounted for using equity method and their share of other comprehensive income, is based solely on the audit report of the other auditor.

As of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the investments accounted for using equity method in the aforementioned investee was NT$91,332 thousand, constituting 0.6% of the parent company only total assets. The share of other comprehensive income recognized as of December 31, 2024, was NT$13,436 thousand, constituting 1.19% of the total parent company only other comprehensive income.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing Formosan Rubber Group Inc.’ 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 Formosan Rubber Group Inc. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing Formosan Rubber Group Inc.’ financial reporting process.

4

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 Standards on Auditing of 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 parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Formosan Rubber Group Inc.’ internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Formosan Rubber Group Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause Formosan Rubber Group Inc. to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

5

  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Formosan Rubber Group Inc. to express an opinion on the parent company only 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.

were authorized for issue, the Corporation is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Corporation’ s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies

  • (1) Compliance statement

This is the Company’s first set of parent company only financial statements prepared according to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

14

(2) Preparation bases

Other than the financial assets measured at the fair value and the pension liability recognized with the net value (assets less the present value of the liabilities due to defined benefits), the parent company only financial statements are based on historical costs, usually the fair value paid for the acquisition of assets.

The subsidiaries, associates are incorporated in the parent company only financial statements under the equity method. To make net profit for the year, other comprehensive income and equity in the parent company only financial statements equal to those attributed to owners of the Company on parent company only financial statements, the effect of the differences between basis of parent company only and basis of consolidation are adjusted in the investments accounted for using equity method, the related share of the profit or loss, the related share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates and related equity.

(3) Foreign Currency

The individual financial statements for the parent company only entities are prepared and presented in the functional currency for these entities (i.e. the currency used in the economy they operate in). The functional currency and the presentation currency of the Company’s Parent company only financial statements is NT Dollars. All the financial performances and statuses are converted into the NT dollars for the preparation of the parent company only financial statements.

Any transactions not in the functional currency shall be converted and recognized according to the exchange rate on the transaction dates in the preparation of the individual financial statements for the parent company only entities. The monetary items in foreign currencies shall be recalculated according to the spot exchange rate on the end-of-the-period date. Any difference resultant from exchange rates shall be recognized as profits or losses during the period. The non-monetary items in foreign currencies measured with the fair value shall be recalculated according to the exchange rate on the date of fair value determination. Any different resultant from exchange rates shall be recognized as profits or losses during the period. However, any difference as a result of changes in the fair value shall be recognized as other comprehensive incomes or losses. The non-monetary items in foreign currencies measured by historical costs shall not be recalculated.

For the purpose of presenting parent company only financial statements, the functional currencies of the group entities are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

15

On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Corporation are reclassified to profit or loss.

In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Corporation losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed to non-controlling interests of the subsidiary and is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

  • (4) Standards to classify current and non-current assets and liabilities

The basis for current and non-current assets and liabilities for the real estate development business is based on the operating cycle. All the other items following the principles below: Current assets are the assets held for trading purposes or expected to be realized or exhausted within one year. Any assets not classified as current are non-current assets. Current liabilities are the liabilities held for trading purposes or expected to be repaid within one year. Any liabilities not classified as current are non-current liabilities.

  • (5) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents can be converted into a fixed amount of cash at any time. They are short-term, highly liquid investments with minimum changes in value.

Bank overdrafts, a credit facility that can be immediately repaid, are part of the Company’s cash management. They are reported under cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows, and as an item in short term loans in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

  • (6) Inventory and real estate for sale and real estate under construction

  • Inventories include raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Comparisons between cost and net realizable value are made on an item-by-item basis, except for inventories of the same type. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price under normal circumstances, less estimated costs to complete and estimated costs to sell. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted-average method.

If a house is exchanged for land under a subdivision contract and is classified as land for sale, no gain or loss is recognized on the exchange and revenue is not recognized until the land is sold to the buyer.

  • (7) Investments accounted for under equity method

Investments accounted for using the equity method is investments in subsidiaries and associates.

16

A. A subsidiary

A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company.

Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary as well as the distribution received. The Company also recognized its share in the changes in the equity of subsidiaries.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the carrying amount of the subsidiary and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

The acquisition cost exceeding the amount of the share of the fair value of the subsidiary’s recognizable assets and liabilities received by the Company on its acquisition day is listed as goodwill. Such goodwill includes the investment’s book value which cannot be amortized. The amount exceeding the share of the fair value of the subsidiary’s recognizable assets and liabilities received by the Company on its acquisition day is listed as the current income.

When losing the control of its subsidiary, the Company measures its residual investment in the aforesaid subsidiary according to the fair value at the day that the Company loses its control of the subsidiary. The difference between the residual investment’s fair value as well as any disposal amount and the investment book value at the day that the Company loses its control is listed as the current profit or loss. In addition, the accounting treatment of all the amounts related to the subsidiary in question and recognized in the comprehensive income is same as the basis required to be complied with in the Company’s direct handling of related assets or liabilities.

When the Company transacts with its subsidiaries, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the subsidiaries are recognized in the Company’s parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not owned by the Company.

  • B. Investments in associates are reported.

Associates are the companies over which the Company has significant influence. Associates are not entitles of subsidiaries.

The investment in associates shall be recognized as costs under the equity method. After the asset acquisition, the book value shall change in line with the Company’s share of profits and losses, other comprehensive income and profit distributions. Meanwhile, the recognized equity value of the associates also changes in line with any increase or decrease in the Company’s shares.

17

If the Company does not subscribe to the new shares of associates on a pro-rata basis according to existing holdings, and any increase or decrease is incurred to the percentage of the Company’s holdings and hence net equity value of the investment, the adjustment shall be reflected with the change in capital surplus and according to the equity method. If the Company has not subscribed or acquired to new shares on a pro-rata basis and seen a reduction in its stake in the associates, the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income and the reclassification as a result of the values for the associates concerned should have the same basis for accounting treatment as if the assets or the liabilities of the associates were directly disposed. Any debit should be made from the capital surplus. However, if the capital surplus is insufficient for debits incurred by investments under the equity method, the debit may be drawn from retained earnings.

The residual investment of the previous associates should be measured with the fair value on the date of loss of significant influence. The delta between the sum of the fair value of the residual investment and the disposal amounts and the book value of the investment on the date of loss of significant control shall be recognized in the income statement during the period. Meanwhile, the values recognized in relation to the associates concerned in other comprehensive income shall have the same accounting basis as if the assets or the liabilities of the associates were directly disposed.

Only the profits and losses resultant from upstream, downstream and lateral transactions with associates not relevant to the Company’s stake in the associates can be recognized in the parent company only financial statements.

  • (8) Property, plant and equipment

The property, plant and equipment are listed in accordance with cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment. Cost shall include the incremental cost able to be directly attributed to acquisition or asset implementation.

Straight-line method is applied to depreciation, by indicating the amount of an asset within the durable service life offset its cost and less its residual value. All the major components of the non-current assets shall be depreciated on a standalone basis. Depreciation is accrued in accordance with the following durable service years: building, 3-55 years; machinery equipment, 3-24 years; transportation and other equipments, 3-10 years.

Estimated durable service life, residual value and depreciation method shall be reviewed at the end of the reporting period; prospective application shall be made for any impact on estimation change.

The profit or loss incurred during disposition or obsolescence of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized in the income statement with the differential amount between the disposition price and asset book account.

18

(9) Investment property

Only if investment properties is attempted for earning rental or capital appreciation or both may it be classified as the investment properties. The investment properties shall be measured according to its original cost, including related transaction cost, and related interest capitalization shall be made during the construction period. Cost model shall be applied to follow-up measurement, to be measured by cost less the amounts of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.

In case straight-line method is applied to depreciation and building depreciation accrued by 3-50 years.

Estimated durable service life, residual value and depreciation method shall be reviewed at the end of the reporting period; prospective application shall be made for any impact on estimation change.

The profit or loss incurred during disposition or obsolescence of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized in the income statement with the differential amount between the disposition price and asset book account.

(10) Lease

A. The Company as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Company assesses the classification of each element separately as a finance or an operating lease based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the Company. The lease payments are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of a contract. If the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, each element is accounted for separately in accordance with its lease classification. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases; in which case, the entire lease is classified as an operating lease.

19

B. The Company as lessee

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

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

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

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

(11) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company shall review the book amounts of tangible assets and intangible financial assets at the end of the reporting period to decide whether there is any impairment with such assets. In case it shows any impairment situation, the estimated recoverable amount of assets shall decide the recognized loss amount. In case there is no way of estimating the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company shall estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit of the said asset. In case it can be amortized according to a reasonable and conforming basis, shared assets shall also be amortized to an individual cash product sector. Otherwise it shall be amortized to the minimal cash-generating unit group according to a reasonable and conforming basis.

20

The recoverable amount shall be fair value less sales cost and its use value whichever is higher.

In case the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is anticipated to be lower than the book amount, the book amount of the said asset or cash-generating unit shall be adjusted and decreased to its recoverable amount; any impairment loss shall be immediately recognized to the current profit and loss.

When any impairment loss reverses in a subsequent period, the book amount of asset or cash-generating unit shall be adjusted and increased to the estimated recoverable amount after revision, provided the book amount after increase shall be limited to the reasonable book amount under the situation when the said asset or cash-generating unit did not recognize an impairment loss in the past years (except for goodwill). The reversed impairment loss shall be immediately recognized to the current profit and loss.

(12) Employee benefits cost

The short-term employee benefits obligation is measured with the basis without discount, and shall be recognized as expenses when providing the related service. Concerning the anticipated payable amount concerning short-term cash bonus or a bonus sharing plan, if it is a current legal or prescribed obligation to be borne by a company due to the past service provided by employees, and the said obligation can be estimated in a reliable manner, such amount shall be listed as liability.

When an expense belongs to defined contribution plans, during the service period provided by employees, it is required to recognize the pension amount contributable as the current expense.

The cost of defined benefits (including service costs, net interests and re-measurements) shall be calculated according to the projected unit credit method. Service costs and net interests of the defined benefits liabilities shall be recognized as employee benefits expenses when incurred, or when the defined benefit plans is modified, shortened or repaid. The re-measurement shall be recognized as other comprehensive income and the retained earnings. There is not reclassification into profits and losses during subsequent periods.

Net defined benefit liabilities refer to the shortfall appropriation of the defined benefit retirement plan, whereas net defined benefit assets shall not exceed the plan’s refunded amount or may reduce the present value of the future appropriation amount.

(13) Financial Instrument

Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be recognized when the Company becomes a party of the said financial instrument clause.

21

Upon the original recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, they shall be measured according to fair values. Upon the original recognition, concerning the acquired or distributed transaction cost directly attributable to financial assets and financial liabilities (except for the financial assets and financial liabilities classified as measurement according to fair value of profit and loss), it shall be increased or decreased from the fair values of the said financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities directly attributable to the ones measured according to fair values through profit and loss shall be immediately recognized as profit and loss.

  • (14) Financial assets

The convention trading of financial assets is recognized and removed by trading day accounting.

  • A. Type of measurement

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, investment in debt instruments measured at FVTOCI, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

  • a. Financial asset at FVTPL

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, designated as upon initial recognition. Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include investments in equity instruments that are not designated by the Company to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and investments in debt instruments that fail to meet the criteria as to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. The dividends and interests generated are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively, and any gain or loss arising from remeasurement is recognized in other gains and losses.

  • b. Measured at amortized cost

When a company after merger simultaneously meets the following two conditions in its investment in financial assets, the financial assets are classified as the ones carried at cost after amortization:

  • A) The financial assets are held under a specific operation mode, in which the purpose of the mode is to hold the financial assets in order to collect contract cash flows.

22

  • B) The cash flow generated on a specific date due to contract clauses is completely for the payment of the principal and the interest accrued from the outstanding principal amount.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost, which equals to carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss.

Except for the two conditions below, the interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the total book value of the financial assets:

  • A) The interest income of the purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets is calculated by multiplying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate by the cost of amortized financial assets.

  • B) The interest income of the financial assets which are not purchased or originated credit-impairment but subsequently become credit-impaired financial assets is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the cost of amortized financial assets.

  • c. Investment in debt instruments measured at FVTOCI

Debt instruments that meet the following two conditions are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income:

  • A) The debt instruments are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and to sell the financial assets; and

  • B) The contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amount of investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, such as interest revenue calculated using the effective interest method, gain (loss) on foreign exchange and impairment loss or gain on reversal, are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of such instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when such instruments are disposed of.

  • d. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to

designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent considerate on recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

23

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, they will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

B. Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, a loss allowance for expected credit loss is recognized for financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable) investments in debt instruments at fair value through other

comprehensive income, lease payments receivable due, and contract assets based on their expected credit losses on each balance sheet date.

The loss allowance for accounts receivable and lease payments receivable due is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For financial assets at amortized cost, when the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to expected credit loss resulting from possible default events of a financial instrument within 12 months after the reporting date. If, on the other hand, there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to expected credit loss resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

The expected credit loss is calculated according to the average weighted credit loss in which the risk rated ratio of default occurrence is used in calculation. The 12-month expected credit loss represents the credit loss expected to occur to the financial instruments within 12 months after their reporting day due to possible default. The expected credit loss in the duration period refers to the credit loss expected to occur to the financial instruments in the expected duration period due to possible default.

The Company recognizes an impairment loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial assets.

24

(15) Income recognition

After identifying the performance obligations of contracts with the customers, the Company allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are met.

(16) Borrowing costs

The cost of borrowing for the funds directly used to acquire, construct or produce the assets (which will reach the status ready for use or available for sale after a long period of time) can be treated as part of the asset costs, until the completion of almost all the necessary activities to get the assets ready for use or available for sale.

Other than the above, all the borrowing costs shall be recognized in the income statement during the current period.

  • (17) Income tax

Income tax expenses include income taxes during the period and deferred income taxes, and should be recognized as income taxes in the profit and loss income, except for the income taxes during the period and deferred income taxes recognized as other comprehensive incomes or directly as an equity item.

A. Current tax

The current income tax is based on the taxed income of the said year. Since partial income and expense is taxable item or deductible of other years, or not attributing to taxable or deductible item in accordance with related tax laws, it causes the taxable income to differ from the reported net profit in the parent company only income statement. The related liabilities of the current income tax are calculated by the legislated or substantially legislated tax rate at the end of the reporting period. It is estimated by the income tax of the previous year, serving as the adjustment of the current income tax.

According to the provisions of Income Tax Law, The unallocated earnings of the Company adding profit-seeking enterprise income tax shall be recognized as the current expense in the allocated earning year resolved in the shareholders’ meeting

  • B. Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is recognized by the temporary differential calculation generated from the taxation basis of book amounts of the recorded assets and liabilities and income through taxation calculation. Deferred income tax liabilities in general are recognized by the temporary differences of all future taxes payable. Deferred income tax assets are recognized by all likely future taxes less the deductible temporary difference in use.

25

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities may only be mutually offset when concurrently conforming to the following conditions: (1) a company has legal execution right to mutually offset the current income tax assets and income tax liabilities; and (2) deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are levied by the same taxation authority towards the same tax payment major entity, or levied towards different tax payment corporate entities, yet each major entity attempts to, at each future period of the deferred income tax liabilities or assets pay-off or recovery of the major amount, pay off the current income tax liabilities and assets on net-amount basis, or concurrently realize assets and pay off liabilities.

The temporary differences in tax payables related to invested subsidiary company and associates are all recognized as deferred income tax liabilities, provided if the Company can control the time point of temporary difference reverse, and the said temporary differences may very likely not be reversed in the foreseeable future are excluded. The deferred income tax assets generated from the related deductible temporary differences to this kind of investment and equity can only be recognized in the gains very likely with sufficient taxable income used to realize the temporary differences, and be within the scope of reverse within the anticipated future.

The book amounts of deferred income tax assets shall be reviewed at the end of the reporting period, and adjust and decrease the book amounts for all or partial assets without sufficiently taxable income to serve it to recover. Concerning the ones originally not recognized deferred income tax assets, they shall also be reviewed at the end of the reporting period, and adjust and increase the book amounts for all or partial assets very likely to generate taxable income to serve it to recover.

The deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured by expected liabilities pay-off or assets in realizing the current tax rate, while the said tax rate shall be based on the legislated or already substantially legislated tax rate at the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and assets shall reflect the tax consequences of a company generated in expected recovery or pay-off of the book amounts of its assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period.

(18) Treasury stocks

The recovered issued stock shall be recognized as treasury stocks I accordance with the paid cost upon buy-back. In case the disposition price in disposing treasury stocks is higher than the book value, its difference shall be listed as capital surplus – treasury stocks trade; in case the disposition price in disposing treasury stocks is lower than the book value, its difference shall be offset the capital surplus generated from the trade of the treasury stocks of the same category of treasury stocks; in case of any deficit, it shall be debited to keep the surplus. Weighted average shall be applied to the book value of treasury stocks and be separately calculated in accordance with the recovery reasons.

26

Upon cancellation of treasury stocks, it shall be debited to keep the capital surplus – stock issue premium and share capital; in case its book value is higher than the total sum of par value and stock issue premium, its difference shall offset the capital surplus generated from the trade of the treasury stocks of the same category of treasury stocks; in case of any deficit, it shall be debited to offset retained earnings; in case the book value of treasury stocks is lower than the total amount of par value and stock issue premium, it shall be credited as the capital surplus generated from the trade of the treasury stocks of the same category of treasury stocks.

5. Citical Accounting Judgements, And Key Sources Of Estimation And Uncertainty

The Company upon applying the accounting policy stated in Note 4 provides related judgments, estimations and assumptions for the information acquired from other resources which are based on historical experience and other factors deemed crucial. The actual result may differ from what is estimated.

The Company shall be continuously reviewing estimations and basic assumptions. In case the revision of estimations would influence the current period, then the current recognition shall be revised in accounting estimations. In case the revision of accounting estimations would concurrently influence the current period and future period, then the estimations revision shall be recognized in both the current period and future period.

The following shows the information related to major assumptions made in the future, and other major sources of uncertainty at the end of the financial reporting period; the said assumptions and estimations have risks of causing book amounts of assets and liabilities to incur major adjustments in the following fiscal year.

(1) Evaluation of inventory and real estate for sale

Since inventory and real estate for sale shall be priced by cost and net cash realizable value whichever is lower, therefore the Company shall use judgments and estimations to determine the net cash realizable value at the end of the financial reporting period.

Since industry rapidly changes, the inventory and real estate for sale of the Company at the end of the financial reporting period due to the amounts of normal wear and tear, obsolescence, or without market selling price, offsets its cost to decrease to its net cash realizable value. The evaluation of this inventory and real estate for sale mainly based on the product demand in the future specific period as estimation basis; therefore, it may generate major changes.

27

  • (2) Impairment evaluation of tangible assets and intangible assets (except for goodwill) During the asset impairment evaluation process, the Company shall rely on subjective judgments and, with basis on asset use mode and rubber, real estate industry characteristics, determine parent company only cash flow asset durable years and future likely generated revenues and expenses of specific asset groups; any change in estimations from changes in economic status or corporate policies may likely cause major impairment in the future.

Therefore, the measurement of fair values should be reasonable. The use of different valuation models or valuation parameters may result in different numbers. For example, If the evaluation parameter's share price net multiplier increases, the market liquidity discount decreases, and the weighted average capital cost discount rate decreases, the fair value of the investment will be increased.
