Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of First Steamship Company Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of First Steamship Company Ltd. and its subsidiaries ("the Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended 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 (please refer to other matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended 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 developed by the International Financial
Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or the former Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC") endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the FSC and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 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 Auditor's 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. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As stated in Note 3(a) to the consolidated financial statements, the Group has initially adopted the IFRS 16, "Leases" from January 1, 2019 and applied the modified retrospective approach with no restatement of comparative period amounts. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of Mariner Finance Ltd., a subsidiary of the Group. Those statements were audited by another auditor, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Mariner Finance Ltd., is based solely on the report of other auditor. The financial statements of Mariner Finance Ltd, reflect the total assets constituting 6% of the consolidated total assets at December 31, 2019, and the total operating revenues constituting 4% of the consolidated total operating revenues for the years then ended.
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investees which represented the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method of the Group. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts is based solely on the report of other auditors. The investments in other entities accounted for using the equity method constituting 1 % and 3% of the total assets at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the related share of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method constituted 1% and (25)% of the total profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
First Steamship Company Ltd. has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with emphasis of matter or other matter paragraph.
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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
- Impairment of goodwill and trademark
Please refer to notes $4(n)$ , $4(o)$ , $5(b)$ , and $6(m)$ to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting principles on the recognition of impairment of intangible assets, non-financial assets, the accounting estimates and uncertainty of assumptions in assessment of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, as well as details of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, respectively.
Description of key audit matter:
As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amounts of intangible assets constituted 6% of the total assets of the Group. The major part of goodwill and trademark originated from the acquisition of GORG in 2006. Since retailing business is influenced by downward economic growth and online shopping, maintaining revenue and profitability has become a challenge. Therefore, the goodwill and trademark from acquisition are affected, and the Group concerns if the carrying amounts exceed recoverable amounts of retailing department. The Group's management should follow IAS 36 to determine the value in use using a discounted cash flow forecast of retailing department. Due to the fact that the estimated recoverable amounts involved management's judgment, and it has great uncertainty, there is an overestimated risk on value in use of goodwill, trademark, and assets of retailing business department. Therefore, we consider the assessment of assets impairment as one of the key audit matters to the consolidated financial statements in the audit process.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
We cast professional doubt on the model that the Group's management used to assess the impairment of goodwill and trademark, including to evaluate whether management has identified cash generating units ("CGU") which might have impairments, and to consider all the assets that have to be tested have been included in the assessment. We also review separate financial assumptions that the management used to assess impairments and related verification of recoverable amounts. We verify the reasonability of the assumptions and accuracy of management's calculation based on available data. We also examine the appropriateness of disclosure for the aforesaid assets.
2. Assets impairment
Please refer to notes $4(0)$ , $5(4)$ , $6(1)$ , and $6(k)$ to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting principles on the recognition of impairment of non-financial assets, the accounting estimates and assumptions uncertainty in assessment of impairment of property, plant and equipment, and right of use assets, details of impairment of property, plant and equipment, as well as right-of-use assets, respectively.
Description of key audit matter:
As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets constitute 61% of the total assets of the Group. The major part of property, plant and equipment is operating assets in retailing and shipping departments. Since retailing business is influenced by downward economic growth and online shopping; shipping business is affected by the uncertainty of international economic cycle and transportation volume, maintaining revenue and profitability has become a challenge. Therefore, the carrying amounts of operating assets are affected, and the Group concerns if the carrying amounts exceed recoverable amounts. The Group's management should follow IAS 36 to determine the recoverable amounts by the higher of using discounted cash flow forecast or fair value less disposal costs. Due to the fact that the estimated recoverable amounts involved management's judgment, and it has great uncertainty, there is an overestimated risk on value in use of operating assets. Therefore, we consider the assessment of assets impairment as one of the key audit matters to the consolidated financial statements in the audit process.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
We cast professional doubt on the model that the Group's management used to assess assets impairment, including to evaluate whether management has identified CGU which might have impairments, and to consider all the assets that have to be tested have been included in the assessment. We also review separate financial assumptions that the management used to assess impairments and related verification of recoverable amounts. We verify the reasonability of the assumptions and accuracy of management's calculation based on available data. We also examine the appropriateness of disclosure for the aforesaid assets.
3. Recoverability of other receivables
Please refer to notes $4(g)$ , $6(e)$ , and $6(n)$ to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting principles on the recognition of financial instruments, the disclosures of other receivables and other financial assets, respectively.
Description of key audit matter:
The retailing department of the Group recently ended part of their investment due to the downturn of business cycle and rigorous competition in mainland China. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amounts of other receivables, originated from uncollected prepaid investments, amounted to \$698,512 thousand, and constituted 2% of the total assets of the Group. The recoverability of other receivables depended on the value of collateral and the progress of the disposal of assets by debtors. Therefore, we consider it as the key audit matter to the consolidated financial statements in the audit process.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
To evaluate the recoverability of other receivables, we obtained documentation of managements' assessment to examine if their collaterals were sufficient. Also, we tested control points related to collection and examined the collection documents in subsequent period to assess the reasonability on recognition and amount of allowance for bad debt.
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 IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance 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 are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditor's 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 auditor's 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 auditors' 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 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are Shu-Ying Chang and Li-Chen Lai.

(English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese) FIRST STEAMSHIP COMPANY LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(1) Company history
First Steamship Company Ltd. (the "Company") was established in October 1963 in accordance with the Company Act of the Republic of China. The Company's registered office address is located at 14F. No.237, Sec. 2, Fuxing S. Rd., Taipei City, R.O.C. The major business activities of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") are the domestic and international sea transportation and related businesses, trading of vessels and related products, providing services of financial leasing, providing business consultation services, trading of cosmetics, furnishings and etc., investments, and selling, renting, investing in construction. Please refer to note 13 for further information.
(2) Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements:
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 30, 2020.
(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:
$(a)$ The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. ("FSC") which have already been adopted.
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | Effective date per IASB |
|---|---|
| IFRS 16 "Leases" | January 1, 2019 |
| IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 "Prepayment features with negative compensation" | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 19 "Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement" | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 28 "Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures" | January 1, 2019 |
| Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015-2017 Cycle | January 1, 2019 |
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 16"Leases"
IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
The Group applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below.
$\left| \right|$ Definition of a lease
Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in Note $4(m)$ .
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Group applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.
$2)$ As a lessee
As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Group. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases $-$ i.e. these leases are on-halance sheet.
Leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17
At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group's incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at:
their carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application $-$ the Group applied this approach to its largest property, machinery and transportation equipment leases.
In addition, the Group used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases.
- Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
- Adjusted the right-of-use assets by the amount of IAS 37 onerous contract provision immediately before the date of initial application, as an alternative to an impairment review.
- Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term.
-
Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
-
Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
- $3)$ As a lessor
The Group is not required to make any adjustments on transition to IFRS 16 for leases in which it acts as a lessor, except for a sub-lease. The Group accounted for its leases in accordance with IFRS 16 from the date of initial application.
$4)$ Impacts on financial statements
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognized additional \$11,009,298 thousand of right-of-use assets, reduced \$3,469,405 thousand of long-term of prepaid rents (including current portion), additional \$329,302 thousand of deferred tax assets, reduced \$1,445,566 thousand of long-term accounts payable and additional \$10,297,999 thousand of lease liabilities, reduced \$428,738 thousand of non-controlling interest and reduced \$554,500 thousand of retained earnings. When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weightedaverage rate applied is 4.90%.
The explanation of differences between operating lease commitments disclosed at the end of the annual reporting period immediately preceding the date of initial application. and lease liabilities recognized in the balance sheet at the date of initial application disclosed as follows:
| January 1, 2019 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Operating lease commitment at December 31, 2018 as disclosed in the Group's consolidated financial statements |
13,126,826 | |
| Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019 | S. | 10.297.999 |
| Finance lease liabilities recognized as at December 31, 2018 | ||
| Lease liabilities recognized at January 1, 2019 | 10,297,999 |
(b) The impact of IFRS endorsed by FSC but not yet effective
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 in accordance with Ruling No. 1080323028 issued by the FSC on July 29, 2019:
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | Effective date per IASB |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 3 "Definition of a Business" | January 1, 2020 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39 and IFRS7 "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform" | January 1, 2020 |
| Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 "Definition of Material" | January 1, 2020 |
The Group assesses that the adoption of the abovementioned standards would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
$(c)$ The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
As of the date, the following IFRSs that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| Effective date | |
|---|---|
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | per IASB |
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture" |
Effective date to be determined by IASB |
| IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" | January 1, 2021 |
| Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current" | January 1, 2022 |
The Group is evaluating the impact of its initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations on its consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.
(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:
The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of the English and Chinese language consolidated financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as "the Regulations") and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C.
- Basis of preparation $(b)$
- $(i)$ Basis of measurement
Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:
- $1)$ Financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;
- $2)$ The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
(ii) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each Group entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar (NTD), which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in NTD has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
- Basis of consolidation $(c)$
- Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements $(i)$
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group 'controls' an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from Intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group attributes the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
The Group prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
Changes in the Group's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attribute it to the owners of the parent.
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost, with the resulting gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss. The Group recognizes as gain or loss in profit or loss the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration received as well as any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost ;and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill), liabilities of the subsidiary as well as any related non-controlling interests at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost, as gain or loss in profit or loss. When the Group loses control of its subsidiary, it accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if it had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

(iii) Subsidiaries excluded from the consolidated financial statements: None.
Foreign currencies $(d)$
$(i)$ Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:
- an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other $\mathbf{D}$ comprehensive income;
- a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to $2)$ the extent that the hedge is effective; or
- qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective. $3)$
- (ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
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 only 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 interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.
$(e)$ Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Except the business activities in selling, renting, and investing in construction are based on operating cycle, $3\sim$ 5 years, to classify the current or non-current ; other assets are classified as current under one of the following criteria, and 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 or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non current.
An entity shall classify a liability as current when:
- $(i)$ It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
- (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
- (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
- (iv) The Group does not have an 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 demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.
Financial instruments $(g)$
Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
$(i)$ Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
$\vert$ ) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
$2)$ Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. Trade receivables that the Group intends to sell immediately or in the near term are measured at FVTPL; however, they are included in the 'trade receivables' line item. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
$3)$ Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and trade receivables, other receivables, long-term lease payments receivable and other financial assets).
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:
- $\cdot$ debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
- other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowance for trade and other receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full.
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ' credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
- $\cdot$ significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer.
- $\cdot$ a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;
- the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider:
- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization: or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For individual customers, the Group has a policy of writing off the gross carrying amount when the financial asset is 180 days past due based on historical experience of recoveries of similar assets. For corporate customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group's procedures for recovery of amounts due.
4) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
- (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
- $\left| \right|$ Classification of debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
$2)$ Equity instrument
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.
$3)$ Treasury shares
When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid. which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be written down).
4) Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible bonds denominated in NTD that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value.
The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognized at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognized at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss. On conversion at maturity, the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognized.
Financial liabilities 5)
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
$6)$ Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities 7)
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
$8)$ Financial guarantee contract
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL and do not arise from a transfer of an asset, are measured subsequently at the higher of: (a) the amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9; and (b) the amount recognized initially less, where appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policies set out below.
(iii) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.
(h) Inventories
Department stores
Inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs include other costs incurred in making them available for use at locations and conditions, and are calculated using the first-in first-out method.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
Construction
The initial cost of inventory is necessary expenditure incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. The developing costs for real estate include construction, land, borrowings, and project expenditure. When the construction is finished, building construction in progress will be reclassified to real estate held for sale, and the Group will recognize operating costs in the proportion of the part being sold to the total developing costs for real estate. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When the costs exceed net realizable value. the costs should be reduced to their net realizable value, and the reducing amount should be recognized at current cost for sale. The net realizable value is measured as follows:
- Land held for development: the net realizable value is the replacement cost or estimated price $(i)$ (based on the market condition), less the estimated selling expenses at the end of the period.
- $(ii)$ Building construction in progress: the net realizable value is the estimated price (based on the market condition), less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses at the end of the period.
- (iii) Real estate held for sale: the net realizable value is the estimated price (based on the market condition), less the estimated selling expenses at the end of the period.
- $(i)$ Non-current assets held for sale
Noncurrent assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale or distribution rather than through continuing use are reclassified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners. Immediately before classification as held for sale or held for distribution to owners, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Thereafter, generally, the assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Any impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to assets not within the scope of IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets. Such assets will continue to be measured in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Impairment losses on assets initially classified as held for sale and any subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized.
Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.
Investment in associates $(i)$
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 those associates, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Group recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate's equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual significant influence.
Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Group's interests in the associate.
When the Group's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interests in an associate, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method and measures the retained interest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Group accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the associates had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued. If the Group's ownership interest in an associate is reduced while it continues to apply the equity method, the Group reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest to profit or loss.
When the Group subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Group's proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments, with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under capital surplus. If the capital surplus resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Group's ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of the associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
Investment property $(k)$
Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition, and subsequently at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.
Rental income from investment property is recognized as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.
- Property, plant and equipment $(1)$
- $(i)$ Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:
| $_{1}$ | Buildings | $3 \sim 50$ years |
|---|---|---|
| 2) | Transportation equipment | 5 years |
| 3) | Vessel | $22 \sim 26$ years |
| 4) | Office equipment | $3 - 5$ years |
| 5) | Leasehold improvement | $5{\sim}20$ years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
$\sim$
(iv) Reclassification to investment property
A property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from owner occupied to investment property.
(m) Lease
Applicable from January 1, 2019
(i) Identifying a lease
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:
- the contract involves the use of an identified asset this may be specified explicitly or $\vert$ ) implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and
- $2)$ the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
- 3) the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:
-
the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used $\bullet$ throughout the period of use; or
-
the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:
- the customer has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; $\alpha$ r
- the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will beused throughout the period of use.
(ii) As a leasee
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
- payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
- there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or
- there is a change in the Group's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or
-
there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option; or
-
there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or
- there is any lease modifications
When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Group accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.
The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.
(iii) As a lessor
When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.
The Group recognizes a finance lease receivable at an amount equal to its net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs, such as lessors to negotiate and arrange a lease, are included in the measurement of the net investment. The lessor recognizes the interest income over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor's net investment in the lease. The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of 'other income'.
Applicable before January 1, 2019
$(i)$ Lessor
A finance lease asset is recognized on a net basis as lease receivable. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the net investment in the leased asset. The finance income is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the receivable.
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. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into an operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.
Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.
(ii) Lessee
Leases in which the Group assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the lease asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the asset.
Other leases are operating leases and are not recognized in the consolidated 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. Lease incentives Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Contingency rent is recognized as expense in the period in which it is incurred.
$(n)$ Intangible assets
Recognition and measurement $(i)$
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Amortization
Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets. other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
$\left| \cdot \right|$ Computer software 5 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Impairment of non-financial assets $(0)$
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
$(p)$ Revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers $(i)$
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Group's main types of revenue are explained below.
Sales of goods $1)$
The Group's department store sells goods in the retail market. The Group recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered to the customer. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately when the customer purchases the product.
$2)$ Customer loyalty program
The Group operates a customer loyalty program to its retail customers. Retail customers obtain points for purchases made, which entitle them to discount on future purchases. The Group considers that the points provide a material right to customers that they would not receive without entering into a contract. Therefore, the promise to provide points to the customer is a separate performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated to the product and the points on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Management estimates the stand-alone selling price per point on the basis of the discount granted when the points are redeemed and on the basis of the likelihood of redemption, based on past experience. The stand-alone selling price of the product sold is estimated on the basis of the retail price. The Group has recognized contract liability at the time of sale on the basis of the principle mentioned above. Revenue from the award points is recognized when the points are redeemed or when they expire.
$3)$ Services
The Group provides consultancy services and management services to the customers. Revenue from services rendered is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to services performed to date as a percentage of total services to be performed.
Commissions 4)
When the Group acts as an agent rather than as a principal in a transaction, the revenue is recognized as the net amount of the commission received.
5) Land development and sale of real estate
The Group develops and sells residential properties and usually sells properties in advance during construction or before construction begins. Revenue is recognized when control over the properties has been transferred to the customer. The properties have generally no alternative use for the Group due to contractual restrictions. However, an enforceable right to payment does not arise until legal title of a property has passed to the customer. Therefore, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the legal title has passed to the customer.
The revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract. For sale of readily available house, in most cases, the consideration is due when legal title of a property has been transferred. While deferred payment terms may be agreed in rare circumstances, the deferral never exceeds twelve months. The transaction price is therefore not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component. For pre selling properties, the consideration is usually received by installment during the period from contract inception until the transfer of properties to the customer. If the contract includes a significant financing component, the transaction price will be adjusted for the effects of the time value of money during the period, using the specific borrowing rate of the construction project. Receipt of a prepayment from a customer is recognized as contract liability. Interest expense and contract liability are recognized when adjusting the effects of the time value of money. Accumulated amount of contract liability is recognized as revenue when control over the property has been transferred to the customer.
6) Financing components
The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
The Group preliminarily assesses whether there is a difference between the consideration for contractual commitment and the current sales price based on the individual contract, and whether the advance receipts from the sale of real estate include financing factors. The advance receipts from the sale of real estate are security for the customer to perform the contract and decrease of the price variance risk from re sale and subsidy to the Group due to the customer not performing the contract, rather than significant financial component of the financing obtained from the customer.
(ii) Contract costs — incremental costs of obtaining a contract
The Group recognizes as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Group expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that the Group incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained shall be recognized as an expense when incurred, unless those costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer regardless of whether the contract is obtained.
The Group recognizes the incremental costs as an asset which meets the expectation to recover those costs of obtaining a contract through the sale of the real estate and amortizes it on the basis of the transfer of pre-sold house.
- $(q)$ Employee benefits
- Defined contribution plans $(i)$
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
(ii) Defined benefit plans
The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to 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. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(iii) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid 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.
$(r)$ Income taxes
Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
The Group has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatment, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS37.
Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:
- temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is $(i)$ not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction:
- (ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
- (iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:
- the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax $(i)$ liabilities; and
- (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
- $\left| \right|$ the same taxable entity; or
- $2)$ different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
$(s)$ Share-based payment
The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met. such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the sharebased payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any changes in the liability are recognized in profit or loss.
Grant date of a share-based payment award is the date which the board of directors authorized the price and number of a new award.
Business combination $(t)$
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. The goodwill arising from an acquisition is measured as the excess of (i) the consideration transferred (which is generally measured at fair value) and (ii) the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree, both over the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date. If the amount calculated above is a deficit balance, the Company recognized that amount as a gain on a bargain purchase in profit or loss immediately after reassessing whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed.
All acquisition-related transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.
For each business combination, the Group measures any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, if the non controlling interests are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the Group's net assets in the event of liquidation. Other components of non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition-date fair values, unless another measurement basis is required by the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete are reported in the Group's financial statements. During the measurement period, the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date are retrospectively adjusted, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
(u) Earnings per share
The Group discloses the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

Assessment
The Group's accounting policies include measuring financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

This financial instrument valuation group also periodically adjusts valuation models, conducts back-testing, renews input data for valuation models, and makes all other necessary fair value adjustments to assure the rationality of fair value. The Company strives to use market observable inputs when measuring assets and liabilities. Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities. $(a)$
- (b) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- $(c)$ Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.
For any transfer within the fair value hierarchy, the impact of the transfer is recognized on the reporting date.

The Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

1.496.220 | 1,238,467 |

The Board of Directors of the Group resolved during the meeting to adopt the stock dividend policy for the subsidiary, First Steamship S.A. Moreover, Group does not intend to dispose the equity investment in the near future, hence the temporary difference between the book value and the tax of the subsidiary will not be disposed and the nonrecognized deferred income tax liabilities shall not be dividend.
$2)$ Unrecognized deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the following items:
| December 31, 2019 |
December 31, 2018 |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Tax effect of deductible temporary differences | 12,671 | 9.502 | |
| The carry forward of unused tax losses | 394.395 | 539,470 |
The R.O.C Income Tax Act allows net losses, as assessed by the tax authorities, to offset taxable income over a period of ten years for local tax reporting purposes. Besides, the Law of the People's Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax allows net losses, as assessed by the tax authorities, to offset taxable income over a period of five years for local tax reporting purposes.
Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilize the benefits therefrom.

The amount to be reclassified should equal the current period total net reduction of other shareholders' equity. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve (and does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to 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.

$2)$ Sensitivity analysis
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at fair value though profit or loss, loans and borrowings; and trade and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency.
A strengthening (weakening) of 1% of the NTD or CNY against the USD, EUR, HKD, AUD and CNY as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased (decreased) the profit before tax by \$8,277 thousand and \$20,508 thousand, respectively. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the reporting date.
Since the Group has many kinds of functional currency, the information on foreign exchange loss on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, foreign exchange gain (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $\frac{20.203}{100}$ thousand and $\frac{20.203}{100}$ thousand. respectively.
(iv) Interest rate analysis
The details of the Group's exposure to interest rate of financial assets and liabilities, please refer to the note on liquidity risk management.
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments at the reporting date. Regarding of liabilities with floating interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of liabilities outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.5% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the Group management's assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.
If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.5%, the Group's profit before tax would have decreased or increased by \$391 thousand and \$20,654 thousand, which is mainly due to the Group's borrowings at variable rates and demand deposits for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, given that all other variable factors remaining constant.
(v) Other market price risk
If the equity price changes, the impact of equity price change to other comprehensive income will be as follows, assuming the analysis is based on the same basis for both years and assuming that all other variables considered in the analysis remain the same:
| For the years ended December 31 | |||||||

(vi) Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value hierarchy $1)$
The carrying amount and fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities, including the information on fair value hierarchy were as follows; however, except as described in the following paragraphs, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is reasonably close to the fair value, and for equity investments that has no quoted prices in the active markets and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, disclosure of fair value information is not required :

$2)$ 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 assets or liabilities measured at amortized cost $a)$
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
- Non-derivative financial instruments $a)$
A financial instrument is regarded as being quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. Whether transactions are taking place 'regularly' is a matter of judgment and depends on the facts and circumstances of the market for the instrument.
Quoted market prices may not be indicative of the fair value of an instrument if the activity in the market is infrequent, the market is not well established, only small volumes are traded, or bid ask spreads are very wide. Determining whether a market is active involves judgment.
$b)$ Derivative financial instruments
Measurement of the fair value of derivative instruments is based on the valuation techniques. Embedded derivative instruments are measured at model of adjusted Binary tree.
Financial guarantee contract c)
Discounted cash flow models that are applied to estimate the fair value of a financial guarantee. The assumption is to use a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis that incorporates the expected default rate of the borrower and expected recoveries in the event of default.
$4)$ There were no transfers in either direction of levels in 2019 and 2018.
$5)$ Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values

For the year ended December 31, 2019, total gains and losses that were included in "other gains and losses" were as follows:
| 2019 | |
|---|---|
| Total gains and losses recognized: | |
| In profit or loss, and including "other gains and losses" | (3,856) |
$6)$ Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement
The Group's financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value include financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - embedded derivative instruments, and the financial instrument in Level 3 has only one significant unobservable input.
Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follow:
| Item | Valuation technique |
Significant unobservable inputs | Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embedded derivative instruments-call and put options |
Adjusted Binary tree |
Volatility (As of December 31, 2019 was 24.29%) |
The estimated fair value would decrease if the volatility were higher |
$7)$ 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:
| Fluctuation | Profit or loss | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2019 | Innuts | m inputs |
Favorable | Unfavorable |
| Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Embedded derivative instruments-call and put options |
Volatility | |||
| 5% | 308 | (308) |
The favorable and unfavorable effects represent the changes in fair value, and fair value is based on a variety of unobservable inputs calculated using a valuation technique. The analysis above only reflects the effects of changes in a single input, and it does not include the interrelationships with another input.
- (ab) Financial risk management
- $(i)$ Overview
The Group have exposures to the following risks due to the uses of its financial instruments:
- $\mathbf{1}$ Credit risk
- $2)$ Liquidity risk
- $3)$ Market risk
The following likewise discusses the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the above mentioned risks. For more disclosures about the quantitative effects of these risks exposures, please refer to the respective notes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
(ii) Structure of risk management
The Groups risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the Group's exposure to risks, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities.
The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the derivative financial instruments, and internal auditor undertakes regular reviews of risk management controls and procedures.
(iii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers and investments in debt securities.
$1)$ Trade and other receivables
To minimize the credit risk, the Group's shipping business consistently adheres to its policy of receiving in advance of each freight fee being charged to its customers. In addition, the Group's vessel management receives fees monthly, assesses possibility of collecting receivables, and recognizes allowances for doubtful account.
The Group's retail business is expected to have no significant credit risk because its collection methods of primary customers and debtors of accounts receivable are through cash or credit card.
To minimize credit risk, the Group' s automobile lease business transacts with corporations with high credit ratings, and assesses the ratings based on other publicly available financial information and records of transactions with its major customers. The Group continuously monitors the exposure to credit risk and counterparty credit ratings. and establishes sales limits based on credit rating for each of its approved customer. In addition, the management of credit risk to other receivables, please refers to note 6(e).
The Group establishes an impairment allowance that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables. The two components of this impairment allowance are specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component which the loss has been incurred but not yet identified. Considering that the Group has no concentration on single customer and complies with the policy to receive proceeds in advance, the credit risk of accounts receivable is estimated to be low.
Investment $2)$
The exposure to credit risk for the bank deposits, fixed income investments, and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Group's finance department. The Group only deals with banks with high credit rating, or financial institutes and corporate organizations with level of professional investor; therefore, the Group does not expect any counterparty above fails to meet its obligations hence there is no significant credit risk arising from these counterparties.
$3)$ Guarantees
the Group's guarantees with high credit ratings, and assesses the ratings based on other publicly available financial information and records of transactions with its major borrower. The Group continuously monitors the exposure to credit risk and counterparty credit ratings for each of its approved borrower.
For the Group providing financial guarantees, please refer to notes 9 and 13.
(iv) 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 far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group's unused credit line amounted to \$2,969,138 thousand and \$3,491,795 thousand, respectively.
(v) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, 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.
The Group buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risk. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Risk Management Committee. Generally, the Group seeks to apply hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss.
$\vert$ Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases, and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group's entities, primarily the NTD, US, and CNY. The currencies used in these transactions are the US and CNY.
The subsidiaries of the Group which use the CNY as the functional currency, choose US or EUR borrowings to reduce the finance cost, because these borrowings are denominated in currencies that not match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group. The Group considers that reduced finance cost should offset the exchange rate risk arising from US and EUR borrowings, and therefore, hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.
In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.
$2)$ Interest rate risk
The Group's risks with exposure to changes in interest rates arise mainly from borrowings from banks. Borrowings on a variable-rate basis will exposed the Group to the variability in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk. The Group assess the level of interest rate is recently stable in the business environment. Therefore, material interest rate risk is less likely to occur.
Other market price risk 3)
The Group is exposed to equity price risk due to use capital effectively and hold different investment portfolios. The management of the Group monitors the proportion of equity securities in its investment portfolio based on market index. Material investments within the portfolio are managed on an individual basis, and all buy and sell decisions are approved by the management authority.
The primary goal of the Group's investment strategy is to maximize investment returns; the board of directors and member in investment department were all professional in finance to make appropriate decision, and therefore the market price risk of investment at fair value through profit or loss were controlled by management,
(ac) Capital management
The Group's objectives for managing capital are ensuring the ability to operate continuously, providing returns to shareholders and other stakeholders, and maintaining an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to the shareholders, reduce the capital for redistribution to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle any liabilities.
The Group and other entities in the same industry use the debt-to-equity ratio to manage capital. This ratio is the total net debt divided by the total capital. The net debt from the balance sheet is derived from the total liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. The total capital and equity include share capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity plus net debt.
The Group's debt to adjusted capital ratios at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| December 31, 2019 |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Total liabilities | 25,011,007 | 21,395,381 | |
| Less: cash and cash equivalents | (5,149,276) | (5,468,507) | |
| Net debt | 19,861,731 | 15,926,874 | |
| Total equity | 13,258,758 | 13,079,712 | |
| Total capital | 33,120,489 | 29,006,586 | |
| Debt-to-equity ratio | 60% | 55 % |
The increase in the ratio of debt to equity in 2019 is due to the issuance of overseas guaranteed convertible bonds and adoption of IFRS 16.
