One Report to Shareholders

I. 2020 Business Report:

(I) Implementation Results of Operating Plan

The profits of styrene products in 2020 were significantly compressed due to affection of addition of new productivity. First, significant increase in market supply was caused by the smooth release of new productivities of Zhejiang Petrochemicals / Heng Li Petrochemicals of Mainland China in January and February; second, sharp shrink and week in market demand was affected by lockdown against pandemic in various countries for COVID 19 pandemic spread after the Spring Festival; and then the crash of oil price further exacerbated the deterioration of demand on global level, resulting in serious recession of styrene price and volume. Starting from the middle of the second quarter, Mainland China and other countries in East Asia successively resumed industrial productions; the demand of various countries in Europe and America while continuing their lockdown for home appliances such as refrigerators and IT products rose; in addition, the global shopping and packing demand outburst, resulting in gradual rise of demand for major downstream of styrene, ABS/PS/EPS, the successive resumption of demand of UPR/SBR/SBS industries in the third quarter, and the gradual rise of prices of downstream products of styrene. As affected by the traditional hot season after the long vacation of October 1 in Mainland China, the unexpected shutdown of Korean producers, and the continual hurricane in Bay Area of USA, the supply from Northeast Asia turned from large to slight rare, the demand of downstream continued its strong trend, and therefore, resulted in rise of both price and volume of styrene. The monthly average of spot spread of styrene in November further created new high over recent five years, sweeping out the dark market condition in the previous three quarters. The shortage in Asian market also caused Mainland China to face the outburst of productivity, by which styrene gradually explored its export channel.

Due to turnaround of the production line of styrene (3) at the end of the first quarter, the total output in the year was about 340 thousand M.T., a decrease about 25 thousand M.T. as compared with the previous year. The total shipment volume including the part for our own use was about 350 thousand MT, a decrease about 20 thousand M.T., as compared with the previous year.

As affected by COVID 19 pandemic and the weak of price of raw materials, both price and volume of ABS in the first quarter of 2020 were slowdown, resulting in pullback of revenue and profit. In the second quarter, due to safe cap policy in Mainland China, active demand of white home appliances, successive relief of lockdown in various countries, and the recovery of economic activities, the sale volume of ABS and PS increased and their prices rose, leading to steady profitability. In the last half of the year, thanks to and affected by the limited addition of new productivity, the ahead of schedule for supplemental shipment, and strong demand of terminal, both offer price and sale volume rose, pushing up the profit of ABS to the best record over recent years.

The consolidated revenues of Grand Group for the year of 2020 were NT$16,580 million, a decrease of NT$3,890 million from 2019. The consolidated net income before tax was NT$5,110 million, an increase of NT$2,370 million from 2019. The consolidated net income after tax was NT$4,320 million and the consolidated net income after tax attributable to owners of the Company was NT$4,110 million.

The Parent Company Only revenue of the Company was NT$12,500 million,

representing 75.6% of the consolidated revenue. The 2020 Parent Company Only operating status is summarized as follows:

Main products between two years are compared as follows: The Company’s 2020 annual production volumes of SM was 337,920 tons, a decrease of 7.5% from 365,490 tons in 2019; sale volume was 300,212 tons, a decrease of 7.0% from 322,931 tons in 2019; Sale amount of SM was $6,443,771 thousand, a decrease of 34.0% from $9,767,995 thousand in 2019. Annual production volume of ABS was 96,460 tons, an increase of 7.8% from 89,492 tons in 2019; sale volume was 97,282 tons, an increase of 7.0% from 90,933 tons in 2019; the sale amount of ABS was $4,429,790 thousand, an increase of 2.8% from $4,309,782 thousand in 2019. Annual production volume of Nylon was 16,645 tons, an increase of 12.4% from 14,805 tons in 2019; sale volume was 16,872 tons, an increase of 11.9% from 15,077 tons in 2019; the sale amount of Nylon was $1,129,024 thousand, a decrease of 26.6% from $1,539,118 thousand in 2019.

In total, the Company’s net revenue for the year of 2020 was $12,524,992 thousand, a decrease of 22.8% from $16,229,085 thousand for the year of 2019; the net operating profit for the year of 2020 was $1,065,895 thousand, an increase of 2.49% from $1,040,045 thousand of net operating profit for the year of 2019; the net gain on reinvestment for the year of 2020 was $3,338,905 thousand, an increase of 145% from $1,358,076 thousand of net gain on investment for the year of 2019. The net income after tax for the year of 2020 was $4,108,803 thousand.

(II)

R&D Status

Styrene represents the Company's core niche, with tentacles extending upward. Nylon 66 (PA66) known as crystal engineering plastic laid downward to optimize the ABS quality. These represent as the very orientations of our efforts in the year.

This year, the Company will continue with the following tasks:

  1. We spared no effort to optimize agglomerated PBL large particle latex to, in turn, upgrade ABS dyeing with wholehearted effort to develop high temperature nylon engineering plastic toward the three major targets including notably energy saving and waste reduction.

  2. With PBL (polybutadiene latex) rubber agglomerated large particle latex, we further improved the quality of ABS products with better dyeing, electroplating grades, tube levels, flame retardant grades, high heels, punch and rigidity for use in vehicle battery materials.

  3. We tried hard to expand nylon industrial yarn market and develop high-temperature nylon, develop engineering plastics such as super tough nylon, heat-resistant super tough nylon, soft, water transparent grade and PPO blended to create high performance, high quality, high price nylon 66 (PA66) plastic products.

  4. We are committed to the long-term diversification strategy, with investments in the fully integrated polypropylene (PP) facilities in Quanzhou, China with new capacities in propane dehydrogenation (PDH) and polypropylene (PP). The purpose is to extend our footprint from SM to acrylic products.

II. Business Plan Summary for 2020:

(I) Business Strategy

  1. To survive: Grand Group to thrive for sustainable development.

  2. To be successful: Strengthen crisis awareness and hold ground in survival niche.

  3. To stand steadfast: Implement annual maintenance and revamp projects to secure baseline revenues and profits.

  4. To be pragmatic: Leverage and extension of the existing competitiveness position to constant growth.

  5. To refine: Enhance the added value of all individuals and teams.

  6. (II) Expected Sales Volume and Basis for Projections

  7. Styrene Monomer(SM)

The year 2021 will see more capacities coming online in China – Zhejiang Petrochemicals’ Phase 2; Shell in Huizhou; Sinochem Holdings in Quanzhou; and Gulei Petrochemical. The supply will increase dramatically this year and over the next two years.

The price rose significantly during the first half of the year, due to output shortage caused by the turnarounds in Northeast Asia and the extreme cold weather in the U.S. Whilst economic activities are resuming to the normal level in the second half of the year amid signs of the pandemic easing, the outlook is conservative due to the sharp increase in supply.

The styrene monomer plant No. 2 is scheduled for a turnover in the first quarter this year and planned for an annual output of close to 370 thousand tons.

  1. Acrylonitrile - Butadiene-Styrene copolymer resin (ABS)

The demand in China increased during the first quarter of 2021 due to the need to curb COVID-19. Production suspension was reduced as labor was encouraged to spend the Chinese New Year locally. The supply chain started to stock up before the Chinese New Year and the market sentiment turned positive. Prices were looking up subsequently as the oil prices went up and petrochemical supplies were tight due to ice storms in Texas. The oil price is expected to maintain the steady upward trend in the second quarter and hence support the ABS and PS prices. As vaccination programs started in many countries this year, the pandemic is expected to be gradually under control. This will benefit the recovery of economic activities and boost the demand for petrochemicals. The supply remains tight given the limited addition of ABS capacities in 2021. The ABS spread is expected to continue given demand greater than supply. The business outlook is cautiously optimistic.

In 2021, the Company plans to maintain the ABS production and distribution at 94 thousand tons. Production and marketing will be optimized, under the high-value strategy and the continued pursuit of product differentiation, niche market expansion and hence profits.

3. Hydrogen (H2)

The Company sold 10.68 million cubic meters of hydrogen in 2020, about the same level as in 2019 and exceeding the annual target of 9.48 million cubic meters.

The customers shipped via pipelines exhibit a stable demand for 2021. The sales target is 9.58 million cubic meters.

  1. Steam and Electricity

The Company’s steam power plants generate steam and electricity for internal use and sells the excess to external parties.

In 2020, the steam power plants produced 1,928,207 tons of steam for internal consumption and 138,508 tons for external sales. A total of 303,963,600 KwH of electricity was generated and 141,292,800 KwH was sold to TaiPower.

In 2021, the Company plans to generate 2,101,016 of steam for internal consumption and 153,406 tons for external sales, as well as 321,204,000 KwH of electricity in total and 140,506,731 KwH sold to TaiPower.

  1. Nylon 66 (PA66)

The global automobile market plummeted during the first quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19. The demand for PA66 was adversely affected and the customers took a wait-and-see attitude. The pandemic continued into the second quarter and production by key customers overseas suspended production in lockdowns. The PA66 price reached the rock bottom, with demand even more conservative. At the outset of the third quarter, the PA66 demand rapidly climbed up as the car market in China gradually recovered. In the fourth quarter when the pandemic was eased, the global auto makers slowly resumed normal production. The demand for PA66 rebounded significantly and exceeded the supply.

In early 2021, the ice storm in Texas caused production suspension of hexamethylene diamine, the raw material for nylon, and manufacturers issued the statement of force majeure. As a result, the global supply was tight, and the nylon price soared further. Looking into 2021, the demand for PA66 is expected to continue its strength from the fourth quarter of 2020 after the recovery in the second half of 2020. The Company’s output and sales target is at 24 thousand tons for 2021. As for the future growth direction, the Company will continue to aggressively develop new application markets and specifications, such as: industrial yarns slice, textile grade products and special grades of nylon 66 (PA66) composite engineering plastics, so as to increase the diversity of products, and to increase the high added value products within the overall nylon 66 (PA66) business. The Company will seek innovation with stability, thus creating greater profits.

III. Future company development strategies:

Our Company will continue to strengthen its competitiveness in the core business, by focusing on our baseline revenues and main markets, i.e., SM, ABS, hydrogen and Nylon 66 (PA66). We will optimize and improve cost, efficiency, and quality and strive to expand sales channels for niche products. We seek to create profits with constant pursuit of steady growth in both quality and quantity and capitalize on the spread when the demand is high. Meanwhile, the Company is preparing, designing and constructing projects for baseline revenues in the C3 chemicals supply chain, including 660 thousand tons/year capacity of propane dehydrogenation (PDH) and 450 thousand tons/year capacity of polypropylene in Quangang Chemical Industrial Park, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. The Company pushing for full ramp-up and commercial operation of these capacities by the end of 2023. Furthermore, the R&D center under incubation is charging ahead with the development of high-performance nylon fibers, engineering plastics and other high-value products, so as to lay the foundations for potential growth going forward.

IV. External competition environment, regulatory environment and overall business environment impact:

To prepare and respond to the daunting challenges internally and externally, the Company remain fully committed to creating the expected benefits of each target. In order to meet the high standards requirements for best-practice companies in industrial safety and environmental protection such as production safety, energy savings and carbon reduction, the Company has launched a series of major capital expenditures during past years for critical projects e.g., introduction of best-in-class control technology for state-of-the-art improvement. It has been the Company’s objective over recent years to establish environmentally friendly production methods as the underlying driver of corporate operation and to honor our mission statement as a role-model corporate citizen. Looking forward, the Company strives to meet the expectation of shareholders by gradually enhancing hardware and software infrastructure and with dedication from the management. We will continue to rise to new challenges by becoming bigger and better with operational synergies.

At last, we wish all shareholders,

good health and good luck!

oil tanks and facilities that may become the source of pollutions to soil and groundwater. For example, we have installed a cathode protection system,
replaced the material of oil-water separation tanks with stainless steel, and brought the previous underground pipelines to above the ground to avoid any
leakage of organic solutions due to equipment erosion. Meanwhile, we have segmented the responsibility areas for underground pipelines and relevant
facilities and organized patrol shifts accordingly.
(VI) Safety and integrity management of underground pipelines
We collaborated with the Industrial Development Bureau for joint inspections after the gas explosion on August 1, 2014 in Kaohsiung. In 2019, we initiated
an underground pipeline maintenance & management program by putting in place the following control measures.

(VII) Social services and welfare campaigns
In 2020, to give back to the society, our colleagues voluntarily organized an outreach group. They visited charities and nursery homes over holidays and gave
donations, food, and other items. In addition, they ordered moon cakes from charity groups during festive seasons to support these organizations.
As economically disadvantaged children do not have sufficient access to educational resources, Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation organizes
supporting classes to sponsor children from low-income families to see international art performances. We hope these efforts boost their learning
achievements, expand their horizons, and enhance their personality development.
To advocate the importance of environmental maintenance and no fly-tipping or littering, the outreach group organizes a mountain clean-up event and
attracted nearly 100 employees and their family members to join. Participants picked up, sorted, and wrapped up trash onsite. This activity was educational to
younger generations. It also enhanced the awareness among employees regarding environmental protection in daily life. The purpose is to give back to the
society, assist government and private organizations and understand the society’s needs. For example, the participation in cultural tours and festivals for
agricultural produces and the purchase of fruits in season are the support of the agriculture industry in Taiwan. Meanwhile, Grand Pacific Petrochemical
Corporation sponsors the fire-safety equipment and advocacy campaigns for CPR and fire prevention for brigades of Ren Da Industrial Park, Association of
Volunteer Firefighters and Family Members in Renwu Precinct, Headquarters of Volunteer Firefighters in Kaohsiung City. We hope to provide director
support for firefighting organizations and ensure the safety of communities.
Being a good neighbor
Our root is in Taiwan and we strive for co-living for community residents. We assist in all community and public campaigns, to promote community
developments.
Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation provides scholarships to local students, sponsors local folklore festivals, holiday celebrations, cultural activities in
proximity of schools, community cultural events and associations, summer-holiday talent classes, hiking trips for neighbors, training camps for volunteers in
environmental protection, winter-warmth giving to orphanages, donations to the disadvantaged and senior citizen groups, participation in local sports events
and support to health advocacy programs organized by the government.

(II) Industry Overview:

1. Industry Status and Development

The upstream of the petrochemical industry is crude oil, followed by natural gas and coal. Because crude oil has the attributes of energy, finance and geopolitics, its price volatility is affected by multiple factors. When the price was high in 2008, it rose to more than US$140 per barrel. Since then there were several fluctuations, and in the beginning of 2016, it fell to US$30. After 2016, the price was on a gradual upward trend despite occasional oscillations. However, the oil price once plummeted due to COVID-19 in 2020. As the pandemic is increasingly under control around the world, the oil price has been slowly recovering and it is where it was before the pandemic. The demand for petrochemicals will also resume growth, in tandem with the gradual recovery of the global economy post COVID-19.

Coal-derived petrochemical raw materials were vigorously promoted in mainland China during the period of high oil prices, but their development was constrained by factors such as oil price reversion and water resources. Natural gas is another upstream source of raw materials for petrochemical. With the rise and maturity of shale oil and gas resources in the United States, it is one of the few places, other than China, where petrochemical production capacity has increased in recent years.

The company's main products are styrene, ABS and Nylon 66 (PA66) plastics. The range of their downstream applications covers major petrochemical industries, such as plastics, rubber and fibers. Their further downstream range covers an even broader scope, including electronic appliances, home appliances, automobiles, building materials, textiles and packaging and various other important industries. These all play an important role in supporting economic development.

Styrene is a bulk petrochemical raw material that is widely used. It is in liquid form at ambient temperatures and is convenient to transport. Therefore, the price difference of styrene around the world, except for the short-term factors in various regions, is mainly affected by transportation conditions and tariffs. The major raw materials of styrene are ethylene and benzene, with the proportion of benzene at about 80%. Ethylene is a gas at ambient temperatures and pressure, and the transportation cost is relatively high. Therefore, the site of styrene plant is usually very close to the supply of ethylene materials. Benzene is liquid at ambient temperatures, and its sources are more diverse. In addition to light oil cracking plants and refineries, there are products of other chemical manufacturing methods, or by-products of the steel industry, which are easier to obtain and transport.

In terms of use, the three major uses of styrene are in polystyrene (PS), expanded polystyrene (EPS), and ABS resin. In addition, there are secondary uses, such as: thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), styrene butadiene latex (SB Latex), unsaturated polyester (UPS), and others. Styrene derivatives are widely used in industries such as home appliances, electronics, construction, toys, automobiles, and such. Therefore, the rise and fall of the styrene industry is extremely sensitive to the economic cycles.

After years of development, there are currently three domestic styrene manufacturers. In the past three years, the annual production and sales volume has remained at about 2 million tons. In addition to the downstream export that is primarily for self-use, there is still import demand for about 300,000 tons every year. In 2020, Taiwan imported about 340 thousand tons.

ABS is a downstream product of styrene. In addition to styrene, two raw materials,

87

acrylonitrile and butadiene, are required. The ABS industry differs from styrene in its diversified product specifications, and that its production must be adjusted according to customer needs. Generally, ABS in Asia is mainly used for home appliances and electronic products. As digital information products continue to evolve, the demand for fire resistance, heat resistance and special flow characteristics has also increased. As the economies of emerging countries grow and the national and individual income levels increase, the development of home appliances, electronics and automobiles will continue to increase the demand for ABS.

There are currently four manufacturers of ABS plastics in Taiwan. In the past three years, the annual production and sales volume has remained at about 1.3 million tons. Unlike styrene, over 80% of ABS is exported. Exporting and competing with markets in various countries around Asia has become the norm for the domestic ABS industry. Since the Mainland China's demand for ABS accounts for more than half of the global total demand, the mainland market has become a must-have for players in the Red Ocean market, which is also a major target area for domestic ABS export. However, due to the US-China trade war, the sales market is accelerating in its migration to other regions, such as Southeast Asia.

In response to government's high-value development policy, the Company pragmatically invested in the construction of a Nylon 66 (PA66) plant, which is the first and the only manufacturing plant of such products in Taiwan, and it partially eases the import pressure on domestic demands. Nylon 66 (PA66) is a heat-resistant engineering plastic. In addition to the traditional textile applications, such as clothing and carpets, the demand for its application in high-end products, such as automotive components and electronic appliances, has developed rapidly in recent years, which has also become one of the largest applications of Nylon 66 (PA66). With the increase in per capita income, the demand for high-end products is increasing day by day. After the Company put the plant into production, Nylon 66 (PA66) still maintains an annual import volume of about 60,000 tons, which just shows its growth potential.

Due to the rapid economic development of mainland China in recent years, it has become a major market for petrochemical products. Its domestic production capacity of styrene is over 10 million tons and significant increase is in the cards. Import demand will also be revised downward year after year from a maximum of 3.5 million tons, due to its own production capacity increasing year on year. Its ABS production capacity is close to 4 million tons, and it still requires imports of 2 million tons. In order to protect its own production market, Mainland China imposes high anti-dumping duties on Nylon 66 (PA66) on major producing countries, including Taiwan, but regardless, it still requires 280,000-ton imports every year.

According to the analysis made by IHS, the demand for styrene in Northeast Asia is 19.15 million metric tons in 2021, and the nameplate capacity is 20.45 million metric tons. It is expected that the production capacity could increase by 12.5% this year, but the effective operating rate is estimated at only 82%. As a result, the actual supply is estimated to increase by only 12%, and 3.02 million metric tons will still need to be imported to cope with the 5% increase in demand in the region. The same analysis estimated that global ABS demand for styrene was about 5.43 million metric tons last year and forecasted 5% increase in 2022 and onward. At the same time, the apparent demand volume for styrene in Taiwan last year (production volume + import volume-export volume) was 1.87 million metric tons, of which the demand volume for ABS was 780,000 metric tons. It was originally expected that the apparent demand volume for styrene in Taiwan this year would be 2.12 million metric tons, of which the demand volume for ABS would be 855,000 metric tons. It is expected that the gradual

88

easing of the pandemic around the world this year will benefit the recovery of economic activities and hence, the demand for styrene and ABS is likely to increase.

Recently, the market for Nylon is gradually expanding. In addition to the mainland market, the economic performance of emerging markets, such as Southeast Asia, India and the Middle East, are gradually receiving more attention. Although the total volume is small, the growth rate is considerable. The company's plastic (ABS and Nylon 66 (PA66)) products are also steadily expanding in these emerging regions to mitigate the risks of excessive market concentration.

In February 1962, the education television experimental station began broadcasting, which started Taiwan's television industry. Previously, there were only four wireless TV stations in Taiwan for commercial television: Taiwan Television, China Television, Chinese Television System and Formosa Television (and a non-commercial television station--Public Television, a total of five TV stations in Taiwan). However, such an oligopoly market produced undesirable conditions: A. Bad TV reception in remote areas; B. Program contents did not meet demassified audience demand; C. Contents were all composite fusion type; thus, the community common antenna and broadcasting system industry (commonly known as the fourth station) came into being. This development also contributed to the rise of program providers. All the cable TV stations were then competing to gain the audience's attention with demassified audience content.

Videoland Inc. is a member of the channel industry, and the rise of the channel (program distribution) industry is closely related to the announcement of the Cable TV Act (August 11, 1993). In the early days, the program providers delivered copied videos to transmission systems for broadcast. Thus, apart from copyright fees, there was no revenue from advertising. Later, with the sharp drop in the lease cost of satellite channels, the program providers moved to satellite transmission to ensure broadcast quality (around the time in 1995). In addition, they utilized the gap between programs to broadcast advertisements; hence, the program providers became channel providers and commercial time slot providers. Advertising became one of the main sources of revenue for channel operators, and some channel operators only used advertising revenue to sustain their programs.

The Satellite Broadcasting Act was promulgated and implemented in February 1999, which opened up the international space for Taiwan's communication industry, and promoted the sound development of satellite broadcasting.

In July 2012, the digitalization of wireless TV was fully implemented, and the analog signal of wireless TV officially became part of history. Cable TV, in turn, was also digitalized, and now produces and broadcasts high-definition digital program contents.

To cope with the trend of digitalization and internet new media, Videoland Fine channel was launched on Chunghwa Telecom's MOD platform on February 20, 2015.

The digitalization of cable TV was fully implemented in 2018, and the cable analog signal officially became part of history.

  1. The correlation between the upstream, midstream and downstream within the industry

The raw materials for styrene are benzene and ethylene. The source of ethylene is primarily supplied by the CPC Corporation. In recent years, as the production of benzene by the CPC Corporation has decreased year by year, the proportion of benzene imported by the Company has gradually increased. The raw materials for producing ABS, apart from the self-produced styrene, such as butadiene, are also supplied by the CPC

89

Corporation, and Acrylonitrile is supplied by China Petrochemical Development Corporation. The raw materials for Nylon 66 (PA66), hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, are not domestically produced, and must be imported from abroad.

The downstream of styrene still requires one or more manufacturing processes to make plastic pellets or rubber, so customers are larger in scale. The downstream of ABS and Nylon 66 (PA66) is predominantly used in forming or blending business of the industries, hence the customer scale is more diversified.

  1. Market share, supply and demand status, and growth of future markets:

The company's production capacity of SM and ABS in FY 2020 is 370,000 metric tons and 120,000 metric tons, respectively, accounting for 19% and 6.06% of the total production capacity of Taiwanese producers. Since the upstream expansion of the domestic petrochemical industry has reached saturation under the constraints of existing industrial development policies, and expansion in the midstream and downstream is restricted, in the absence of new production capacity, this market share will only fluctuate slightly.

After decades of development in mainland China, it has become the world’s factory, with its huge workforce, and now is gradually entering the world market. Both its production capacity and market appetite have become its main driving sources. Apart from the expansion of production capacity, driven by the rise of shale gas in the United

93

States, due to the low price of raw materials and market competitiveness, the expansion of the general petrochemical industry and market growth, since the beginning of this century, come mainly from Mainland China. Its infrastructure construction, the rapid growth of the real estate and automotive industries, and the previous policy of selling home appliances to the countryside, all triggered a wave of expansion of styrene products. Because of the significant profitability improvements of the styrene industry in recent years, a new round of production capacity increase plans have been sequentially put into production. Over the next two or three years, the self-sufficiency rate of styrene in Mainland China will gradually increase, and the import volume will shrink year after year, within a certain time frame. Unlike previous plans, many of the new rounds of investment plans incorporate upstream materials, which is helpful in increasing the average operating rate of their styrene industry.

Whilst the increase in supply may squeeze existing producers to a certain extent, China’s continued march towards the world market will provide sufficient demand. China lowered its economic growth target from 6.1% to 2.3% in 2020 due to COVID-19. However, it was the first country to bounce back, due to good control of the virus and gradual lifting of lockdowns at the end of April. In the second half of the year, its economy was accelerating and China is one of the few countries with economic growth for the year.

As the pandemic is gradually under control, the global economy is slowing springing back to life. The Global Economic Prospects (GEP) published in January 2021 by the World Bank forecasts over 4% growth of the global economy in 2021 given the low base. The rising income per capita will drive the demand shift from basic plastics such PE and PVC to the styrene series, such as PS, ABS and EPS. The economic development in different countries will also stimulate the demand for home appliances, electronics, automobile, communication, ecommerce packaging materials and thermal insulation. Hence, the demand is expected to increase for high-end engineering plastics, such as nylon 66 (PA66).

Certainly, with the increase of per capita income in various markets, the requirements for increased product quality have gradually grown out of the initial stages of long-lasting and easy-to-use. Health and environmental protection have become universal requirements. In summary, high strength, low-volatility and low-residual monomer, bright coloration, fast and excellent processability are some, if not all, of the development trends of styrene and nylon 66 (PA66) series products. The company's historical research and development has focused on these trends with constant upgrades and improvements.

In June 2017, the Ministry of Commerce of Mainland China announced an anti-dumping investigation on styrene sold to the mainland by Taiwan, South Korea and the United States. The final result was released in June 2018. The final adjudicated tariff for Taiwan was 3.8%-4.2%; and 6.2%-7.5% and 13.7%-55.7% for Korea and the United States, respectively. Whilst this ongoing measure has not affected the global supply and demand dynamics, it has reshaped the direction of trade flows in different regions and the price gaps between these regions.

The pandemic in 2020 and the failure of OPEC+ to reach a production cut agreement in early March contributed to high volatility of the oil price and commodity prices. Fortunately, the demand for styrene-based polymers such as ABS, PS, and EPS styrene gathered strong momentum in the second half of the year when China gradually reopened from lockdowns. The demand for other downstream products such as UPR and SBR also slowly recovered at the end of the Third Quarter. The new capacities suppressed the styrene price and made profits impossible during the first three quarters.

94

However, the strong demand absorbed the incremental supply or at least minimized the impact of this factor. After the Chinese National Holiday, the inventory in East China dropped significantly given a lack of supplies from the U.S. as a result of production suspension amid hurricanes in August and September and the unexpectedly suspended production of Korean manufacturers. The price soared due to the severe supply shortage in Northeast Asia. The quarterly profit offset the cumulative losses during the first three quarters and ended the year 2020 break-even.

To date, the total number of satellite channels actually in service on the cable TV market is about 100. Videoland Inc. has a total of 7 self-produced channels, accounting for a market share of 7%.

Currently, the total number of fee-based satellite channels on the cable TV market is about 65. Videoland Inc. has a total of 7 self-produced channels, accounting for a market share of 10.7%.

In terms of video revenue, system operators (cable TV companies) charge video fees every month, and this income is about NT$500 to 600 per household. Providing program purchases accounts for about 40% (about NT$240) of the cost. The number of households that can sign a contract nationwide is about 2.9 million for 2020.

Channel operators' potential total video revenue is about NT$240 × 12 months × 2.9 million households = NT$8.35 billion.

Videoland Inc.'s video revenue in 2020 is approximately NT$762.7 million, accounting for approximately 9.13% of the channel operator's total video revenue.

As for the advertising business, based on Nielsen Media Research and MAA's reference on media owners ’opinions about the current state of the advertising industry, actual advertising pricing changes, and Gross Rating Point's (GRP) media purchase references, etc., the advertising volume statistics of the five major media and outdoor media in 2020 are as follows:

Ranking Media Effective Ad Volume
(Million NT$)
Market Share
1 Cable TV 15,310 57.55%
2 Newspaper 1,840 6.92%
3 Magazine 1,291 4.85%
4 Broadcast TV 2,553 9.60%
5 Radio 1,637 6.15%
6 Outdoor 3,973 14.93%
Grand Total 26,604 100.00%

Videoland Inc.'s total annual advertising revenue in 2020 reached NT$1.79 billion, accounting for approximately 7.04% of cable TV advertising.

  1. Competitive niche, and advantages, disadvantages of development prospects and countermeasures

  2. (1) Competitive Niche

    • A. Continuous improvement of various environmental protection schemes and

95

energy saving is conducive to a sustainable business and the operation of the Company and its factories.

  • B. Continue to pursue the improvement of production efficiency of each production plant and maintain its competitive advantage.

  • C. Increase factory production of crystal plastics, and increase the proportion of the Company's high quality products.

  • (2) Advantages and disadvantages of development prospects and countermeasures

  • Styrene Monomer(SM)

    • A. Advantages

      • ① Global styrene demand grows steadily.

      • ② Taiwan still has import demand.

      • ③ Despite anti-dumping duties imposed on SM by China and continued capacity expansion in China, China remains the biggest market in the world and needs to import SM to meet its own demand over the next few years.

      • ④ There are vertical integration benefits for the downstream ABS/HIPS capacity.

      • ⑤ Supply to domestic SM customers is timely given geographic proximity.

    • B. Disadvantages

      • ① The United States and the Middle East use abundant and inexpensive natural gas raw materials, while the local raw material costs are relatively high.

      • ② The absence from free trade agreements such as RCEP makes exporting difficult for downstream players.

      • ③ After the closure of CPC's Fifth Naphtha Cracker, domestic supply of petrochemical raw materials decreased.

      • ④ Environmental regulations are becoming more stringent, and it is not easy to expand production capacity of bulk petrochemical products in Taiwan.

      • ⑤ The transportation capacity of petrochemical pipelines in the Kaohsiung area is obviously restricted after the recent gas explosion, which increases the scheduling difficulties for imported petrochemical raw materials.

      • ⑥ Taiwan is on the list of styrene monomer (SM) anti-dumping tariffs imposed by China, which restricts the export of Taiwan's styrene monomer (SM) to China, and also makes Taiwan a coveted export target for US and Korean manufacturers, which in turn disrupts domestic prices.

      • ⑦ With the successive increases of new production capacity in China, starting with this year, the pressure of its significant reduction in imports can be felt. In addition, the Chinese government announced

96

that the 13% value-added business tax can be fully refunded for exports. This has stepped up China’s SM exports since the Fourth Quarter of 2020 and expanded its influence on the global market.

  • C. Countermeasures

    • ① To work in concert with the government policy of "quantity overseas, quality domestic", the Company seeks expansion opportunities overseas for the increase in available quantity, while striving to develop value-based products.

    • ② Continue to pursue the enhancement and improvement of industrial safety and environmental protection, and increase the production efficiency of each production plant to enhance the overall comprehensive effect of energy saving and waste reduction.

    • ③ Expand foreign suppliers, and fill the gap with imported raw materials to maintain production capacity.

    • ④ Enable flexible transportation scheduling to ensure smooth operation of styrene plants.

    • ⑤ Identify and strive for various expansion opportunities, and expand production scales to reduce costs.

    • ⑥ Increase the downstream styrene integration to slow down the impact from anti-dumping tariffs and new production capacity of Mainland China.

  • Acrylonitrile - Butadiene-Styrene copolymer resin (ABS)

Global demand for ABS in recent years has been growing steadily. In particular, the increase in the demand for household appliance and automobile manufacturing in China has led to the continuous increase in global ABS consumption and considerable profit margins. This has led to new production capacity and centralized manufacturers' production and increased supply. 2021 will also be a challenging year for ABS, which will be affected by many factors, such as the overall economy, output policy, supply, demand, and cost:

  • A. Advantages:

  • ① The forecast in 2021 expects the ABS demand to continue growing over the next few years. The industry fundamentals are relatively stable.

  • ② The supply of self-produced raw materials for styrene monomer (SM) is sufficient to reduce the risk of raw materials fluctuations.

  • ③ The demand for ABS in the field of home appliances may still have some momentum. The Chinese home appliance market and the automotive industry will maintain a steady rhythm for development, and there is possibility of continued production growth.

  • ④ Demand for new applications is expanding steadily.

  • B. Disadvantages:

  • ① Whilst the epidemic is gradually under control and the global trade and economic and trade activities slowly resume, the headline news

97

about virus variants in certain regions causes volatility in demand and pricing.

  - ② Trade friction rises. After the signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), trade protectionism batters many industries and tariff barriers hinder market promotion.

  - ③  The excessive dependence of AN and BD on the supply of raw materials has increased the impact of raw materials fluctuations on profits.

  - ④ The supply is increasing with new capacities in China coming online this year.

  - ⑤ The competition from alternative products: Other materials are used for home appliances and toys with low quality requirements.
  • C. Countermeasures:

    • ① Make efforts to reduce costs, and make full use of production capacity, in order to reduce the pressure caused by the diluted interest rate spread.

    • ② Provide customized product design, and expand product planning in response to customers' demand for high-value products.

    • ③ Seek to migrate and disperse markets in Southeast Asia, thus expanding market spread.

    • ④ Pay constant attention to the domestic and international environmental situation and the price trends of main raw materials, while adjusting the sales strategy accordingly.

  • Nylon (PA)

  • A. Advantages:

    • ① Stable product quality, positive R&D capabilities, and timely customer services are conducive to enhancing customer confidence in the products.

    • ② The applications and demands in the field of engineering plastics are increasing.

    • ③ After the expansion of the nylon 66 (PA66) factory, the production cost is reduced. With the continuous growth of the automotive electronics industry, the application of and demand for engineering plastics will continue to increase.

    • ④ We are the only domestic manufacturer. Our delivery speed is fast, and we can promptly meet customer demands.

  • B. Disadvantages

    • ① Prices of main raw materials fluctuate greatly, and are difficult to manage.

    • ② There are many nylon 66 (PA66) producers overseas. The price competition is fierce.

98

     - C. Countermeasures:

        - ① Make efforts to develop specifications for industrial yarn slices, textile grade products and special grade engineering plastics, to create market differentiation and to help move into the field of higher value products.

        - ② Make regular customer visits, enable fast and timely customer service capabilities, and make use of enhanced after-sales service systems to improve product added value.

        - ③ Expand market presence in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East to help avoid excessive market concentration.

1. Countermeasures

  • (1) Corrective plans

In terms of the corporate responsibility to the society, other than investment in hardware, the Company spares no effort to improve the discharge of various pollutants and improve safety management facilities (Cf. Industrial safety environmental capital expenditures below for more details) in order to directly minimize environmental pollution and improve production safety. Besides, where a large number of equipment components in our plants are prone to leakage and emission, for our factories, we continually commission qualified inspection companies to conduct factory-wide scanning with FLIR and flame-type ion detector devices to inspect each and every equipment component one by one. Meanwhile, we commissioned SGS to scan and re-test with infrared devices. Where the management of equipment components, we cannot rely solely on outsources for inspection, our on-site personnel also continually carry out follow-up testing based on the assigned responsibility from the jurisdiction with the detector devices purchased by the factories. The environmental engineering department conducts random testing to ensure the integrity in the inspection. In terms of pollution reduction of combustion facilities, in our factories we have converted the entire plant steam boilers, heat medium boilers and steam heating furnaces with natural gas as the fuel, and with steams and electric boilers used for the best feasible control technology (BACT) to prevent pollution and to effectively reduce pollutant emissions. In terms of industrial safety environmental management system, in our plants we have introduced the OHSAS18000 occupational safety and health management system. In 2019, we further introduced the ISO-45001 system and the process safety management (PSM) system within a three-year period along with efforts in planning, implementation, audit, improvement and other action cycles to make the management system in full and effective play. At the same time, we promote the evaluation of industrial safety environmental protection performance indicators of various departments to improve execution efficiency. In terms of employee safety protection, in addition to efforts to provide personal protective equipment such as goggles, earplugs and ear muffs as well as vertical fall arresters for employees, we further continuously promote safety observation and encourage the reporting of a false alarm event and continuously provide employees and contractors with safety related educational & training programs. We earnestly expect that the factory process equipment will operate safely and smoothly and successfully achieve production goals.

State the changes in financial ratios over the past two years (2020 & 2019) up to over 20% and the reasons why:
1. Interest coverage ratio (times) changed, with an increase by 45% from the previous period, primarily due to the income tax
and net profit before tax increased by 86% from the previous period and the interest expense increased by 1.3 times from
the previous period.

Note 1: All Consolidated Financial Statements of all fiscal years have been audited and certified by certified public accountants.

Note 2: The calculation formulas as enumerated below should be shown at the end of this Table 1. Capital Structure

  • (1) Liabilities to assets ratio = total liabilities / total assets

  • (2) Long-term funds to property, plant and equipment ratio = (total equity + non-current liabilities) / net property, plant and equipment

  • Liquidity

114

  • (1) Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities

  • (2) Quick ratio = (current assets – inventory- prepaid expenses) / current liabilities

  • (3) Interest coverage ratio (times) = net gains before income tax and interest / interest expenses of the current term

  • Operating ability

  • (1) Account receivables (including Notes receivables from operating activities and accounts receivable) turnover = net sales/average receivables of each term (including notes receivables from operating activities and accounts receivable) balance

  • (2) Average days of accounts receivable = 365 / receivables turnover rate

  • (3) Inventory turnover rate = COGS (cost of goods sold)/average inventory amount

  • (4) Account payables (including Notes payable from operating activities and accounts payable) turnover= COGS (cost of goods sold)/average payables of each term (including Notes payable from operating activities and accounts payable) balance

  • (5) Average days of sales = 365 / inventory turnover rate

  • (6) Property, plant and equipment turnover rate = net sales / average net property, factory and equipment

  • (7) Total assets turnover rate = net sales / average total assets

  • Profitability

  • (1) Return on assets = [gain/loss after tax + interest expense x (1-tax rate)] / average total asset

  • (2) Return on equity = gain/loss after tax / average total equity

  • (3) Net margin = gain/loss after tax / net sales

  • (4) Earnings per share = (the gain/loss contributed to the parent company – preferred stock dividend) / weighted average shares outstanding (Note 4)

  • Cash flow

  • (1) Operating cash flow ratio = net cash flow of operating activities/current liabilities

  • (2) Cash flow adequacy ratio= net cash flow of operating activities in the past five years / the past five years sum of (capital expenditures + inventory addition +cash dividends)

  • (3) Cash reinvestment ratio= (net cash flow of operating activities- cash dividends) / (Property, plant and equipment gross + long term investment + other non-current assets + working capital) (Note 5)

  • Leverage

  • (1) Operating leverage = (operating revenues - variable operating cost and expenses)/operating income (Noe 6)

  • (2) Financial leverage = operating profit / (operating profit - interest expense)

Note 3: In terms of the aforementioned formulas to count earnings per share (EPS), the key points for attention should be noted as below upon measurement:

  1. To be counted at the number of common shares in weighted average instead of outstanding issued shares as of end of the year.

  2. In case of capital increase through cash injection or transaction with treasury shares, the period of transaction should be taken into account to calculate the number of shares in weighted average.

  3. In case of the earnings to be converted into capital increase, upon calculation of earnings per share (EPS) on an annual basis or on a semiannual basis in the past, it calls for retrospective adjustment pro rata to the ratio of capital increase without a need to take into account the period of issuance.

  4. Where the preferred shares are non-convertible accumulated preferred shares, the dividend of that year (disregarding whether it was distributed) should be deducted from the net profit to should increase the net loss after tax. Where the preferred shares are attributed as not accumulated and where there is net profit after tax, the preferred share dividend should be deducted from the net profit after tax. It calls for no adjustment in case of a loss.

  5. Note 4: Key points for attention upon analysis of the cash flow:

  6. Net cash flow in operating activities refers to the net cash inflow in the operating activities in the Table of Cash Flow.

  7. Capital expenditure refers to cash outflow in the investment with investment every year.

  8. Increase in inventory would be counted only when the ending balance exceeds the beginning balance and would be entered at zero in case of decrease in inventory at end of the year.

  9. The cash dividend includes cash dividend of both common shares and preferred shares.

  10. Gross fixed assets refer to the aggregate total of fixed assets before deducting accumulated depreciation.

Note 5: An issuer shall duly distinguish into fixed and variable ones based on attributes of the operating costs and operating expenses. In case of an involvement in estimation or subjective judgment, the issuer shall watch the rationality and assure consistency.

Recognition of Income

Income is the basic operational activities for the sustainable management of an enterprise and concerns its operational performance and the management generally is faced with the pressure of fulfilling the expected financial or business performance goals.

Other Matters - Individual Financial Statement

Individual financial statements of 2020 and 2019 have been prepared by Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation and have been documented in the Audit Report without reservation in the opinions expressed issued by the CPAs; they are submitted for your reference.

Responsibilities of Management and Governance Unit for Consolidated Financial Statement

The management is responsible for preparing an adequately expressed consolidated financial statement in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and international financial reporting standards, international accounting standards, interpretations, and interpretation announcements approved and released to take effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission and maintaining necessary internal control relevant to the compilation of the consolidated financial statement in order to ensure that no significant untruthful expressions caused by frauds or errors exist in the consolidated financial statement.

While preparing the consolidated financial statement, the management is responsible for also evaluating the ability of Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation and its subsidiaries to continue with the operation and disclosing related matters and adopting the accounting basis for continued operation, among others. Unless the management intends to liquidate Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation and its subsidiaries or discontinue operation or there are no other actually feasible solutions than liquidation or discontinued operation.

The governance unit (including the Audit Committee) of Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation and its subsidiaries is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

Responsibilities of CPAs in Inspecting Consolidated Financial Statement

We audit the consolidated financial statement in order to be reasonably convinced as to whether the consolidated financial statement as a whole contains major untruthful expressions due to frauds or errors and to issue the audit report. Reasonably convinced is highly convinced. There is no guarantee, however, that the existence of significant untruthful expressions in the consolidated financial statement will be detected according to generally accepted auditing standards. Untruthful expressions might have been caused by frauds or errors. If individual values or an overview of untruthful expressions can be reasonably expected to affect economic decisions made by users of the consolidated financial statement, they are considered significant.

122

We apply our professional judgment and keep our professional doubts while performing the audit according to generally accepted auditing standards. The CPAs also perform the following tasks:

  1. Identify and evaluate the risk of significant untruthful expressions in the consolidated financial statement due to frauds or errors, design and enforce appropriate responsive policies for determined risks; and collect sufficient and adequate evidence from the audit in order to render audit opinions. Due to the fact that frauds might involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, untruthful statement, or non-compliance with internal control, the risk associated with undetected significant untruthful expressions caused by frauds is higher than that caused by errors.

  2. Obtain a necessary understanding of internal control concerning the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures reflective of then-current situation. The purpose, however, is not to effectively express opinions on the internal control of Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation.

  3. Evaluate the adequacy of accounting policies adopted by the management and the legitimacy of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.

  4. Reach a conclusion with regard to the adequacy of the accounting basis adopted to continue with operation by the management and whether significant uncertainties of events or conditions that might result in significant concerns about the ability of Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation and its subsidiaries to continue with operation exist or not according to the evidence obtained from the audit. In the event that it is determined that significant uncertainties exist with such events or conditions, on the other hand, the CPAs must remind users of the consolidated financial statement in their audit report that they should pay attention to related disclosures included in the statement or modify their audit opinions if such disclosures are inappropriate. Conclusions made by the CPAs are based on the evidence from the audit obtained as of the date of the audit report. Future events or conditions, however, are likely to result in Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation and its subsidiaries no longer capable of continuing with operation.

  5. Evaluate the overall expression, structure, and contents of the consolidated financial statement (including related notes) and whether or not the consolidated financial statement has fairly expressed related transactions and events.

  6. Obtain sufficient and adequate evidence from the audit regarding the financial information of entities comprising Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation and its subsidiaries and express opinions about the consolidated financial statement. The CPAs are responsible for providing guidance on, supervising and implementing audits and for coming up with audit opinions for the Group.

Communications made by the CPAs with governance units include the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including significant deficiencies found with internal control during the audit).

The CPAs have also provided the governance units with the declaration on independence that independently governed staff in the accounting firm that the CPAs belong to have followed moral regulations in honor of the profession of CPA and have communicated with the governance units all relationships and other matters considered to be likely undermining the independence of CPAs (including related safeguard measures).

The CPAs, from the matters communicated with the governance units, decided key matters to be included in the 2020 consolidated financial statement audit of Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation and its subsidiaries. The CPAs specify such matters in the audit report unless it is disallowed by law to disclose to the public specific matters or under rare circumstances, the CPAs decide not to communicate specific matters in the audit report as it can be reasonably expected that negative impacts from such communication would be greater than the public interest that will be enhanced.

  1. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are explained below. Unless otherwise specified, these policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

  • (1) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs endorsed, issued to take effect by FSC.

  • (2) Basis of preparation

  • 1) Except for the following significant items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

    • 1) Financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss measured based on the fair value.

    • 2) Financial assets at fair values through other comprehensive income measured based on the fair value.

    • 3) The liabilities on the shares-based payment agreement with cash settlement measured based on the fair value.

    • 4) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • 2) The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, please refer to Note 5.

  • (3) Consolidated base

  • 1) Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:

    • A. All subsidiaries are included as the entities in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Group. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, 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. Subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements begin from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases consolidation starting from the date of forfeiture of control.

    • B. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

134

  • C. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non­controlling interests having a deficit balance.

  • D. Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

  • E. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group measures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. The difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in current profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on other comprehensive income as previously recognized, its accounting treatment is on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed directly by the Group. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

  • (4) Foreign currency translation

  • 1) Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company's functional and the Group's presentation currency.

  • 2) When preparing financial statements for each entity using currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currency) converted into functional currency at the spot exchange rate on the transaction day or measurement date, and the exchange difference resulting from the translation of these transactions was recognized as current profit and loss. At the end of the financial statement period, the balance of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities were evaluated and adjusted at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and translation differences arising from the adjustment were recognized as current profit and loss. In case of foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities, the balance was evaluated and adjusted at the spot exchange rate quoted on the balance sheet date as measured at fair value through profit or loss, and the exchange difference arising from the adjustment was recognized as current profit and loss as measured at fair value through comprehensive income. The resulting exchange differences resulting from the adjustment were recognized in other comprehensive income items; where they were not measured at fair value, they were measured at the historical exchange rate on the initial trading day. All gains and losses on exchange were reported according to the attribute of the transaction and other gains and losses in the comprehensive income.

  • 3) When preparing the consolidated financial statements, assets and liabilities of the foreign operations of the companies in merger (including the subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures or branches of the Company in the countries of business operation or those using different currencies) were translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the spot exchange rate quoted on the balance sheet date. The income and expense items were translated using the exchange rates average in that period. All exchange differences arising from the translation were recognized as other comprehensive income.

  • 4) When the foreign operations were disposed of and constituting a loss of control, joint control or significant influence on the foreign operations, all and the relevant interests of the foreign operations would be reclassified into profit or

140

loss. In some cases where the disposal of subsidiaries in foreign operations did not constitute a loss of control of the subsidiary, the cumulative exchange difference recognized in other comprehensive income was calculated into the equity transaction on a pro rata basis, but it was not recognized as profit or loss. In some cases where the interests of the disposal of associates or joint venture in foreign operations did not constitute a significant impact of loss on the associates or joint venture or joint control in interests, the cumulative exchange difference recognized in other comprehensive income was reclassified into profit or loss based on the disposal ratio.

  • (5) Criteria of classification of current and noncurrent assets and liabilities

  • 1) Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:

    • A. Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

    • B. Assets arising mainly from trading activities;

    • C. Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

    • D. Cash & cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being used for an exchange or used to settle a liability for more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

The Group classifies the assets that do not satisfy the above conditions as noncurrent.

  • 2) Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:

  • A. Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;

  • B. Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • C. Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • D. Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve (12) months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

The Group classifies the liabilities that do not satisfy the above conditions as noncurrent.

  • (6) Cash & cash equivalents

Cash & cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits, and short-term and highly liquidity investments that could be converted into cash in fixed amounts at any time with little change in value risk. Time deposits that meet the aforementioned definitions and are held for short-term operations cash promise are classified as cash equivalent.

(7) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities should be recognized when the Group became a party to the terms of the financial instruments contract.

When financial assets and financial liabilities were initially recognized, they were measured at the fair value. At the time of initial recognition, the transaction costs

141

acquired or issued directly attributable to financial assets and financial liabilities (unless classified as financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss), shall be added or subtracted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction costs directly attributable to financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss should be recognized immediately as profit or loss.

  • (8) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss and designation as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include investments in equity instruments that the Group does not specify at fair value through other comprehensive income, and investments in debt instruments that did not qualify as being measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • 2) In a case carried at amortized costs or financial assets at fair values through other comprehensive income, when measurement or recognition inconsistency could be eliminated or significantly reduced, the Group designated the case as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at the time of initial recognition.

  • 3) The Group adopts transaction day accounting for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss consistent with transaction customs.

  • 4) The Group measured at fair value at the time of initial recognition, and recognized related transaction costs in profit or loss and subsequently measured at fair value and the gains or losses were recognized in profit or loss.

  • 5) When the right to receive dividends was ascertained and the economic benefits related to dividends were likely to flow inward while the amount of dividends could be reliably measured, the Group recognized the dividend income in profit or loss.

  • (9) Financial assets at fair values through other comprehensive income

  • 1) Referring to an irrevocable option at the time of initial recognition to report changes in the fair value of investments in equity instruments that were not held for trading in other comprehensive income; or the investment in debt instrument simultaneously met the following conditions:

    • A. The financial asset held under the business model of collecting cash flows under contracts and for the purposes of selling.

    • B. The cash flow generated on a specific date under the contract terms for the financial assets were completely intended to pay off the principal and the interest of the outstanding principals.

  • 2) The Group adopts transaction day accounting for financial assets at fair value through comprehensive income consistent with transaction customs.

  • 3) The Group measured at fair value plus transaction costs at initial recognition, and subsequently at fair value:

    • A. Changes in the fair value of equity instruments were recognized in other comprehensive income. When derecognized, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income would not be reclassified to profit or loss and would be transferred to retained earnings instead. When the right to receive dividends was ascertained and the

142

economic benefits related to dividends were likely to flow inward while the amount of dividends could be reliably measured, the Group recognized the dividend income in profit or loss.

  - B. Changes in the fair value of debt instruments were recognized in other comprehensive income, impairment losses before derecognition, interest income and gains and losses in foreign currency exchange were recognized in profit or loss, and at the time of derecognition, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income were reclassified from the equity into profit or loss.
  • (10) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

  • 1) Referring to the events that conform with the conditions as below simultaneously:

    • A. The financial assets held under the business model for the purposes of collecting cash flows under contracts.

    • B. The cash flow generated on a specific date under the contract terms for the financial assets were completely intended to pay off the principal and the interest of the outstanding principals.

  • 2) The Group adopts transaction day accounting for financial assets carried at amortized cost consistent with transaction customs.

  • 3) The Group measured at fair value plus transaction costs at initial recognition, and subsequently used the effective interest method to recognize interest income during the circulation period based on the amortization process, and recognized impairment losses, and when derecognized, the gains or losses were recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) The Group held time deposits that were not eligible for cash equivalent. As the holding period was short, the effect of discounting was insignificant, which was measured by the amount of investment.

  • (11) Accounts & notes receivable

Referring to the contract which had been received unconditionally for the accounts and notes for the right to consideration exchanged due to the transfer of products or labor services. As short-term accounts & notes receivable were paid without bearing interest, the impact of the discounting was insignificant, therefore, the Group measured at the initial amount.

  • (12) Impairment of financial assets

For investment in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial assets carried at amortized cost and accounts receivable or contract assets that contain significant financial components, rent receivables, lending commitments and financial guarantee contracts, The Group, after considering all reasonable and corroborable information (including forward-looking perspectives) on each balance sheet date, measured by the amount of expected credit loss in 12 months toward an insignificant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. For the credit risk has increased significantly since the original recognition, the allowance for loss was measured by the amount of expected credit loss during the existence period. For accounts or contract assets that do not include significant financial components, the allowance for losses measured by the amount of expected credit loss during the existence period.

  • (13) Derecognition of financial assets

143

The Group will derecognize financial assets when one of the following conditions is met:

  • 1) When rights to contract of receiving cash flow from financial asset has expired.

  • 2) Transfer of right to contract of receiving cash flow from financial asset, and when nearly all risk and reward associated with the said financial assets have been transferred.

  • 3) Transfer of rights to contract of receiving cash flow from financial asset, and excluding control over the financial assets.

  • (14) Lease transaction of the lessor - rent receivables/operating leases

  • 1) Pursuant to the terms and conditions under the lease agreements, when almost all the risks and rewards of lease ownership were borne by the lessee, they are classified as finance leases.

    • A. As the lease started up, the net lease investment (including the original direct cost) was recognized as "rent receivables", and the difference between the total lease receivables and the present value was recognized as "unearned financing income from finance leases".

    • B. Subsequent adoption of a systematic and reasonable basis to distribute financing income over the lease period to reflect a fixed rate of return on the net lease investment held by the lessor.

    • C. The period related lease payments (excluding service costs) offset the total lease investment to reduce the principal and unearned financing income.

  • 2) Lease income from operating leases, net of any incentives given to the lessee, was recognized as a current profit or loss and amortized on a straight line basis during the lease period.

(15) Inventory

Inventories were measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, whichever is the lower under the perpetual inventory system adopted, and the cost was determined by the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, and production-related manufacturing overhead (as normal capacity distribution), but excludes borrowing costs. Upon comparison of cost and the net realizable value, whichever was the lower, the itemized comparison method was adopted. The net realizable value refers to the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less the estimated cost that must be invested to completion and the balance after related changes in selling expenses.

  • (16) Investments accounted for using the equity method/associates

  • 1) Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost, including the goodwill already identified upon acquisition, with any accumulated impairment loss estimated to occur subsequently deducted.

  • 2) The share of profit or loss for the Group after acquisition of an associate is recognized as current profit and loss and the share of other comprehensive income after acquisition is recognized as other comprehensive income.

144

When the Group's share of loss in an associate is equal to or exceeds the equity in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

  • 3) The profits and losses generated from the fair current, countercurrent and side stream transactions between the Group and associates were recognized in the financial statements only to the extent that the Group has no interest in the associates. The accounting policies of associates have been adjusted as necessary, and the policies adopted by the Group have been consistent.

  • 4) When changes in an associate's equity are not recognized in profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group's shareholding ratio of the associate, the Group recognizes the Group's share of change in equity of the associate in 'capital reserves' in shareholding ratio .

  • 5) In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group's investment percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then 'capital surplus' and 'investments accounted for using the equity method' shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its changes in net equity. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group's ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the profit or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the ownership interest are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

  • 6) Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in current profit or loss.

  • 7) When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it still retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.

  • 8) When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it still retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.

  • (17) Property, plant and equipment

  • 1) Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Loans costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

  • 2) Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is

145

derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • 3) Land is not depreciated. The subsequent measurement of other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

  • 4) The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed by the Group at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets' residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets' future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of p various assets are as follows:

    • A. Buildings & constructions 4 - 56 years

    • B. Machinery & equipment 5 - 25 years

    • C. Transportation facilities 2 - 7 years

    • D. Other equipment 3 - 10 years

  • 5) The Group's depreciable assets were originally used in the rate-decreasing method at the time of tax declaration; however, the Group has switched to use the average method in Year 1998. This change was already approved by the National Taxation Bureau of the Southern Area, Ministry of Finance with Letter (1998) Nan-Qu-Guo-Shui-Shen-I-Zi 87051967.

  • (18) Lease agreements of the lessee - right-of-use assets/lease liabilities

  • 1) Lease assets were recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the date when they became available for use by the Group. When the lease agreement was a short-term lease or lease of a low-value underlying asset, the lease payment was recognized as expense by straight-line method.

  • 2) In lease liabilities, the Group recognized the unpaid lease payments at the lease starting date at the present value of the Group’s incremental loan rate discounted. The lease payments include fixed payments, less any incentives that could be received for the lease. Subsequently the Group measure at the amortized cost method under the interest method and recorded as interest expenses during the lease period. When the non-contract modification caused a change in the lease period or lease payment, the lease liabilities would be reassessed, and the remeasurements would be adjusted to right-of-use assets.

  • 3) The right-of-use assets were recognized at cost on the lease starting date and the cost includes the original measured amount of lease liabilities. The subsequent measurement using cost model which were earlier at the end of the useful life of the right-of-use assets or at the end of the lease period while depreciation expenses were recorded. When lease liabilities were reassessed, right-of-use assets would adjust any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.

(19) Investment property

The investment property was real property held to earn either rent or capital appreciation or both, and also included real property held for which the future use has not yet been determined. The investment property was originally measured by

146

acquisition cost, and was subsequently reduced by cost except for accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss where the amount was measured. Except for land, depreciation was provided on the straight-line method according to the estimated useful life which was 40 years. While the investment property was derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and the carrying amount of such assets was recognized in current profit or loss.

(20) Intangible assets

1) Obtained separately

The intangible assets acquired separately for a limited useful life were originally measured at cost and subsequently at the amount of the costs deducted with the accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets were amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life. All such facts of the estimated useful life, residual value and amortization method should be reassessed at end of every fiscal year as the minimum to postpone the impact of changes in applicable accounting estimates. When Intangible assets derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and the carrying amount of the asset was recognized in the profit or loss of the current year.

2) Goodwill

The goodwill obtained from the business combination was based on the amount of goodwill recognized on the acquisition date as the cost, which was subsequently measured by the amount of the cost after subtracting the accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill needs to be allocated to each cash-generating unit or cash-generating units that the Group expects to benefit from the merger concerted performance.

(21) Cost of program broadcasting

The cost of program broadcasting include the proceeds acquired on outsourcing film broadcasting rights outsourced investment in filming or self-made programs, and the production costs with future economic benefits which were entered into accounts at the substantial costs. The outsourcing film broadcasting rights depends on individual programs and was transferred to the amortization of the film under the current operating cost during actual playback. The sub-authorized film broadcasting right was transferred into the film sub-authorization cost under the current operating cost when actually delivered. The outsourced investment in filming and the self-made ribbon-type program would be converted into the production cost and filming cost under the current operating cost during the actual broadcast. The cost of the broadcast program was recorded under other noncurrent assets, and was expected to be amortized within one year as other current assets. For other current assets, if the fair value at the end of the year was estimated to be lower than the accounted unamortized cost, the impairment loss would be recognized as the loss of the current year.

(22) Impairment loss on non-financial assets

The Group estimates the recoverable amount of assets with signs of impairment on the balance sheet date. When the recoverable amount was lower than its carrying amount, the impairment loss would be recognized. The recoverable amount refers to the fair value of an asset less disposal cost or its value in use, whichever is higher. Except for goodwill, when the impairment of assets recognized in previous years did not exist or decrease, the impairment loss would be reversed, but the asset carrying amount increased by the impairment loss should not exceed the carrying amount

147

after depreciation or amortization of the asset if no impairment loss was recognized.

  • (23) Loans

Loans are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Loans are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the loans using the effective interest method.

  • (24) Notes and accounts payable

Notes and accounts payable are obligations to pay for products or labor services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (25) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • 1) Referring to the main purpose of the sale or repurchase in the latest period, and financial liabilities held for trading except for derivatives instruments that are designated as hedging instruments under hedge accounting. The financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss were designated on the Initial recognition. When a financial liability meets one of the following conditions, the Group measured at fair value through profit loss on the initial recognition:

    • A. As hybrid (combined) contracts; or

    • B. Where the inconsistency in significant decrease measurement or recognition could be eliminated; or

    • C. Pursuant to the documented risk management policies, the instruments with performance evaluated in fair value based management.

  • 2) The Group measured at fair value at the time of initial recognition, and recognized the related transaction costs in profit or loss and subsequently measured at fair value and the gains or losses were recognized in profit or loss.

  • 3) In case of a financial liability designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss where the amount of change in fair value resulted from credit risk, except for avoiding improper accounting ratios or loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the Group recognized the same in other comprehensive income.

(26) Provisions

The Group is under current statutory or constructive obligation due to past events, very likely that economically efficient resources would need to be discharged to settle such obligation and the amount of the obligation could be reliably estimated when the provisions were recognized. The measurement of provisions is based on optimal estimated present value of the expenditure required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date. The discount rate uses the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of currency and the specific risk of the liability. The amortization discounted is recognized as interest expenses. The future loss in operations should not be recognized as provisions.

  • (27) Employee benefits

  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

148

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.

  • 2) Post-employment benefits

  • A. Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions of pension funds are recognized as current pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • B. Defined benefit plans

  • Net obligation under a defined benefit plans is defined as the present value of an amount of future benefits that employees will receive for their services with the Company in current year or prior periods, and the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate is determined by reference to the balance sheet date, the currency of defined benefit plans and the market yield of high-quality corporate bonds that were consistent during the period. The countries of such bonds without in-depth market adopt the market yield of government bonds (as of the balance sheet date).

  • Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans is recognized in other comprehensive income in the current year in which they arise, and expressed in the retained earnings.

  • The expenses related to the service cost of the prior period were immediately recognized into profit or loss.

3) Termination benefits

Termination benefits refers to the benefits provided by the termination of the employment before the normal retirement date or when the employee decides to accept the Company’s benefits offer in exchange for termination of the employment. The cost of restructuring was not recognized until the moment while the Group could no longer revoke a contract for termination benefits or the restructuring cost was recognized, whichever came the earlier. Termination benefits that were not expected to be fully settled 12 months after the balance sheet date should be discounted.

  • 4) Compensation to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors

Compensation to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Subsequently, any difference between actual distributed amounts as resolved and estimated mounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.

(28) Financial liabilities & equity instruments

1) Classification of financial liabilities or equity instruments

The liability and equity instruments issued by the Group were classified as

149

financial liabilities or equity according to the substance of the contract agreement and the definition of financial liabilities & equity instruments.

2) Equity instruments

The “equity instruments” refers to any contract that recognizes the remaining equity of an enterprise after the assets are deducted from all its liabilities. The equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the price obtained after deducting the direct issue cost.

3) Financial liabilities

In case of financial liabilities that were not held for trading purposes and were not designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss, such financial liabilities were measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting period.

4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group did not derecognize financial liabilities until the obligations were lifted, cancelled or lapsed. When financial liabilities were derecognized, the difference between their carrying amount and total consideration paid or payable (including any transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) was recognized into profit or loss.

5) Inter-offset of financial assets and liabilities

The financial assets and financial liabilities were not offset against each other and expressed in net in balance sheet until there was a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amount of financial assets and liabilities with an intention to deliver on a net basis or achieve assets and liquidate liabilities at the same time.

(29) Share capital & treasury stocks

1) Share capital

Common shares were classified as equity. The classification of preferred shares refers to the definition of substantial contractual agreement, financial liabilities and equity instruments, and evaluates the specific rights attached to preferred shares. When the basic characteristics of financial liabilities were exhibited, they were classified as liabilities; otherwise they would be an equity. The net of increase in costs directly attributable to issuance of new share or share warrants after deducting income tax is recorded as the deduction of share prices.

2) Treasury stocks

The Group withdrew the issued outstanding shares and recognized them as "treasury stocks" based on the consideration paid at the time of purchase (including direct attributable costs) as a deduction of equity. Where the price of the disposal of treasury stocks is higher than the carrying amount, the difference was listed as capital surplus-treasury stocks transactions. Where the disposal price is lower than the carrying amount, the difference is offset against the asset surplus generated by the exchange of the same type of treasury stocks. In case of a shortfall, the surplus is debited in the retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury stocks is taken weighted average and calculated separately according to the reason for recovery.

When treasury stocks are cancelled, the capital reserve is debited according to the proportion of equity - share certificates issuance premium and share capital,

150

where the carrying amount is higher than the face value and the total value of the stock issuance premium, the difference would be offset against the capital generated by the exchange of the same type of treasury stocks. In case of a shortfall, it would be offset against the retained earnings. Where the carrying amount is lower than the face value and the total of the stock issuance premium, the capital reserve generated by the same type of treasury stocks exchanges would be credited.

Where subsidiary held the Group's stocks using the equity method to recognize the share of profit and loss and prepare financial statements, the subsidiary's stocks of the Group should be dealt with as treasury stocks.

  • (30) Shares-based payment

  • 1) The shares-based payment agreement upon equity settlement was pursuant to the employee service acquired at fair value of the given equity commodities on the given day, and was recognized as compensation costs during the vesting period, and the equity was relatively adjusted. The fair value of equity commodities should be reflected with the influence of the market price vested conditions and the non-vested conditions. The recognized compensation cost was adjusted according to the expected amount of incentive rewards that meet the service condition and the non-market price vested condition until the final recognition amount was recognized in the vested amount.

  • 2) The shares-based payment agreement settled in cash was based on the fair value of the liabilities assumed, recognized as compensation costs and liabilities within the vesting period, and was based on the fair value of the equity commodities given on each balance sheet date and settlement date to measure, any change recognized as profit or loss of the current year.

  • (31) Income tax

  • 1) The income tax expenses comprise current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the income tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

  • 2) The Group calculates the income tax payable for the current term exactly in accordance with the tax rates that had been enacted or substantially enacted in the countries for the income tax as of the balance sheet date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable relevant laws of income tax, and under the fact of situations, the income tax liabilities estimated shall be paid to tax collection authority. The undistributed earnings having been consolidated were charged for the income tax. The income tax expense of undistributed earnings was recognized based on the actual distribution of the earning as resolved in the shareholders’ meeting in the year ensuing the year in which the earnings were yielded.

  • 3) Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the balance sheets. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries

151

and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted as of the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  • 4) Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

  • 5) Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • 6) The Group's tax incentives oriented expenditures that comply with the statutory incentives were accounted with use of income tax deduction accounting. The unused income tax credit was transferred into the latter period of time within the scope as the credit ready for future use, duly recognized deferred income tax assets.

  • 7) The difference between the previous year's estimated income tax of the Group and the adjustment difference approved by the tax collection authority was recognized as the adjustment items of the income tax of the current year.

  • (32) Recognition of revenues

After identifying the performance obligations under a customer contract, the Group allocated the transaction price to each performance obligation and recognized revenue when the performance obligations were fulfilled.

  • 1) Sales revenues

  • A. All products manufactured by the Group and sold into the market were recognized as revenue when the control over the product was transferred to the customers. To put it in more understandable terms, when the products were delivered to the customers, the customers have discretion on the channel and price of product sales, and the Group was not in any outstanding performance obligations that might affect the customers’ acceptance of the products. When the products were shipped to a designated location, the risk of obsolescence and loss has been transferred to the customers and the customers would accept the products according to the sales contract. The delivery of the products did not occur until there was objective evidence to prove all standards/criteria for acceptance have been met.

  • B. Where the Group provides standard warranty on the products sold and is obliged to refund for defective products, the provisions were recognized at the moment of sales.

  • C. Accounts receivable were recognized at the moment when the goods were

152

delivered to the customers. At that timepoint, the Group was entitled to the unconditional rights to the contract price and the price could be received from the customers only after the time elapsed. The advance receipts before the arrival of the products was recognized as a contract liability.

  • D. The control of the ownership of the processed products was not transferred upon processing of the materials so that the income was not recognized when the material was forwarded.

  • 2) Labor service revenues

  • A. Advertising revenues

The Group and the customers signed advertising broadcast contracts and recognized the revenues when the actual broadcast was completed based on the degree of fulfillment of the performance obligation. The degree of completion of the performance obligation was determined based on the percentage of the actual performance of the required services to the entire labor service under this Agreement.

B. Video revenues

The Group and the customers signed fundamental channel agency contracts to provide cable TV operators and other public broadcasters with self-made programs or transmission on behalf of channels through satellites for viewers through cable TV system or network platforms. Throughout the duration of the labor service contracts, the Group continually fulfilled the obligations to provide users with TV channel viewing rights and network bandwidth usage rights as well as other performance obligations. All revenues so received were recognized as income on a straight-line basis during the period of contract services.

C. Licensing revenues

The Group and the customers signed contracts to license the Group's film broadcasting rights and program copyrights to the customers. Where the licensing authorization was distinguishable, the licensing income was recognized during the licensing period according to the nature of the licensing authorization, or the timepoint of control of the right as transferred to the customers. When the Group intended to carry out events that would significantly affect the film broadcasting rights and program copyrights which would, in turn, directly affect the licensed customers and such events would not result in the transfer of labor services to customers, the nature of the licensing authorization was to provide access for the rights of intellectual property rights. The relevant royalties were recognized as income on a straight-line basis during the licensing period. In an event where the licensing did not meet the foregoing conditions and its nature was to provide customers with the right to use intellectual property rights, the income was recognized at the time of licensing transfer.

  • D. The customers fulfilled payment obligations in accordance with the payment schedule agreed in a contract. When the service provided by the Group exceeded the customers’ payment value, the payment was recognized as a contract asset. If the customer payable exceeds the labor service provided by the Group, it was recognized as a contract liability.

  • 3) Refund liabilities

153

Sales and labor service revenues were recognized at the contract price net of estimated discounts and other similar discounts. The amounts recognized as revenues would be limited to the portion of the future height that was unlikely to undergo a major turnaround, and was included in each asset estimates updated on the balance sheet date. Sales and labor service estimated discounts payable to customers and other similar discounts as of the balance sheet date were recognized as refund liabilities.

4) Financing component

Under the contracts signed by and between the Group and the customers, the collection conditions of the sales and labor service transactions were consistent with the market practice. It was, therefore, judged that the contracts did not contain a significant financing component. In addition, the time interval for transferring the promised goods or labor services and receiving the consideration amidst the contracts was within one year. The significant financing component would not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of the currency.

  • 5) Costs to acquire contracts from customers

Although the incremental costs incurred by the Group in obtaining a customer contract were expected to be recoverable, the relevant contract period was shorter than one year. These costs were, therefore, recognized as current operating costs or expenses at the moment of occurrence.

(33) Government grants

Government grants are recognized at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. If it is intended for the purpose of providing immediate financial support to the Group and there is no future related cost, it got the profit or loss recognized during the period when such could be received. Such government grants related to property, plant and equipment were recognized as noncurrent liabilities, and were recognized as current profit or loss using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of the relevant assets.

  1. Major sources leading to material accounting judgments, estimates and assumption uncertainties

The results of the Group’s consolidated financial statements would be affected by the adoption of accounting policies, accounting estimates and assumptions. Therefore, when the Group adopted the significant accounting policies under Note 4, the acquisition of assets from other sources would result in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next information on significant adjustment risks in the consolidated financial statements that would require management to use appropriate professional judgment, estimates and assumption uncertainties. The Group’s estimates and relevant assumptions were based on the optimal estimates pursuant to the requirements of IFRS endorsed and issued to take effect by the FSC. Estimates and assumptions would be based on historical experience and other factors considered to be relevant, but actual results and estimates might differ. The Group continues to review the estimates and assumptions. Where the revision of the estimate would only affect the current year, the accounting estimate would be recognized in the current year. Where the estimation affects both the current year and the future period, then it would be recognized in the estimated and amended current year and future period.

154

(1) Major judgments to adopt accounting policies

In addition to an involvement in judgments related to and estimates (see (2) below), the management’s judgments in the process of adopting accounting policies that have the most significant impact on the recognized amounts of the financial statements are as follows:

  • 1) Judgment of business model of financial asset classification

The Group evaluates the business model of financial assets based on the level of financial assets that are jointly managed to achieve a specific business purpose. This evaluation calls for consideration of all relevant evidence, including asset performance measurement methods, risks affecting performance, and the salary determination method of relevant managers, salary determination method where the judgment was required. The Group continuously assesses whether its business model judgment is appropriate, and monitors the financial assets carried at amortized cost and investment in debts instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income to look into the reasons for its disposition to assess whether the disposition would be consistent with the business model's objectives. Whenever the business model was found to have changed, the Group would postpone the adjustment of the subsequent classification of financial assets.

2) Investment property

The purpose of part of the property held by the Group was intended to earn rent or capital appreciation. It also includes property held for the purpose of which the future has not yet been determined. Other parts were used by the Group itself. When the respective parts could be solely sold, such property would not be classified under the investment property only the portion in the Group’s own use accounted for a not significant portion of the respective property.

  • 3) Commitment to operating lease - the Group is the Lessor

The Group has signed commercial property agreements toward some property portfolios. Based on its evaluation of the agreed terms, the Group still retains significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and treats these leases as operating leases.

4) Leased term

In determining the lease term of the leased assets, the Group takes into account all relevant facts and circumstances that might generate economic incentives to exercise (or not to exercise) the option, including all facts and circumstances from the start of the lease to the day when the option is exercised with expected changes. The main factors taken into account include the contract terms and conditions during the period covered within the option, significant lease interest improvements during the contract period, and the importance of the underlying assets to the lessee's operations and the like. Significant changes in such matters or circumstances within the control of the Group when it occurred while the Group reassessed the lease term anew.

  • (2) Major accounting estimation & assumptions

The accounting estimates conducted by the Group were based on the reasonable expectations of future events on the grounds of the situation on a specific day, but the actual results might differ from the estimates, and the assets and liabilities of the next financial year might have significant adjustments to the risk of carrying amount and assumptions. Please note the following instructions:

155

1) Estimated impairment of financial assets

The impairment of accounts receivable and contract assets was estimated based on the Group's assumptions about the default rate and the expected loss rate. The Group took into account historical experience, current market conditions and forward-looking information to work out assumptions and select input values for impairment assessment. For more details regarding the important assumptions and input values please refer to Note 6(4). In the event that the actual future cash flow is below expected, it might cause significant impairment losses. The carrying amount of the Group’s receivables and contract assets was NT$2,611,098 thousand and NT$2,513,717 thousand, respectively, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (After deducting allowance losses at NT$5,536 thousand and NT$10,219 thousand, respectively)

2) Evaluation of inventory

Since inventory should be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group shall use judgment and estimation to decide the net realizable value at the balance sheet date. Due to the rapid changes of the industrial environment, the Group assesses the amount of inventory on the balance sheet date that has undergone normal wear and tear, obsolescence or no market sales value, and will mark down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. This assessment of inventories primarily uses product need within a certain period in the future as the basis of estimation, and thus material changes could occur. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying amount of the Group's inventories was NT$1,203,284 thousand and NT$1,673,157 thousand, respectively. (After deducting loss on allowance for obsolescence and market price decline of inventories of NT$33,978 thousand and NT$50,982 thousand, respectively)

3) Fair value measurement and evaluation process

Where the assets and liabilities measured at fair value were not quoted in the active market, the Group would decide whether to outsource the valuation and determine the appropriate fair value technology according to relevant laws or judgments. Where the fair value was estimated, Level 1 input value could not be obtained for the value, the Group would refer to the analysis of the financial status and operating results of the investee, the latest transaction price, the quote of the same equity instrument in the non-active market, the quote of similar instruments in the active market, and the comparable company evaluation multiplier to determine the input value. If the actual changes in future input values and expectations would differ, fair value changes might occur. The Group regularly updated each input value according to market conditions to monitor whether fair value measurement was appropriate. For more details regarding the fair value evaluation techniques and input value, please refer to the descriptions of Note 12(4). As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group's holdings of unlisted (OTC) company stocks and limited partnership investments showed the carrying amounts of NT$825,583 thousand and NT$862,037 thousand, respectively.

4) Evaluation on impairment of investment accounted for using the equity method

Whenever there was an indication of impairment that an investment accounted for using the equity method might have been impaired while the carrying amount could not be recovered, the Group immediately assessed the impairment of the investment. The Group assessed the impairment based on the discounted value of the expected future cash flow of the investee or cash dividends receivable to

156

be expected and disposal of the discounted value of future cash flows from the investment to assess the recoverable amount and analyze the reasonableness of its related assumptions. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 after the Group’s prudent assessment of the results, there showed no significant impairment loss.

  • 5) Assessment onto the impairment of tangible assets, intangible assets (except goodwill) and other noncurrent assets

In the process of asset impairment assessment, the Group was required to rely on subjective judgment and asset usage patterns and industry characteristics to determine the independent cash flow of a particular asset group, years of useful life, the future revenue and expenses that might be cause significant impairment in the future due to economic condition changes or estimated changes caused by strategies. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the accumulated impairment of tangible assets, intangible assets (except goodwill) and other noncurrent assets recognized by the Group was NT$78,732 thousand and NT$88,671 thousand, respectively.

  • 6) Evaluation on impairment in goodwill

Upon determination whether goodwill has been impaired, the use value of the cash-generating unit allocated to goodwill needs to be estimated. To calculate the use value, the management should estimate the future cash flows expected to be generated from the cash-generating unit and decide on appropriate discount rate of the use of the present value. If the actual cash flow became less than expected, significant impairment losses might occur. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the amount of goodwill impairment recognized by the Group amounted to NT$15,155 thousand and 0.

7) Realizability of deferred income tax assets

Deferred income tax assets were recognized when there is a possibility in the future that there would be sufficient taxable income for the purpose of deducting temporary differences. Upon assessment of the realizability of deferred income tax assets, significant accounting judgments and estimations of the management must be involved including expected future sales revenue growth and profit margins, usable income tax credits, tax planning and other assumptions. Any changes in the global economic environment, industrial environment and changes in laws and regulations might cause significant adjustment of deferred income tax assets. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the deferred income tax assets recognized by the Group were NT$46,396 thousand and NT$55,493 thousand respectively. The deferred income tax assets not recognized by the Group due to non-probable taxable income were to NT$12,907 thousand and NT$ 12,014 thousand, respectively.

8) Calculation of long-term employee benefits liabilities

Upon calculation of the present value of the benefit obligations, the Group must use judgments and estimates to determine the relevant actuarial hypotheses on the balance sheet date, including the discount rate and future salary growth rate. Any changes in actuarial assumptions should significantly affect the Group’s amount of defined benefit obligations. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying amounts of the Group’s long-term employee benefits liabilities (including net defined benefit liabilities and provisions - noncurrent) were NT$78,120 thousand and NT$95,210 thousand, respectively.

  • 9) Lessee's incremental loan interest rate

157

When determining the interest rate of the lessees' incremental loan used for discounting lease payments, the Group used the risk-free interest rate of the equivalent duration and currency as the reference interest rate, and discounted the estimated lessee's credit risk allowance and lease specific adjustments (e.g., asset characteristics and factors such as guarantees) to be taken into account.

The above analysis is based on the number of days past due.

The expected credit loss rate of the Group's aforementioned account aging intervals (excluding abnormal amounts which should be recorded at 100%): Not overdue and overdue within 90 days from 0% to 50%; 91 to 365 days overdue from 30% to 100%, more than 365 days overdue 100%.

The Group's accounts receivable not overdue were expected to have a very low risk of credit loss; For other accounts receivable which had been overdue as of the balance sheet date, the Group has taken into account other credit enhancement protection, post-period collection, and deductions and the like. After reasonable and corroborable information, it is assessed that there was no significant change in its credit quality, and the credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. Therefore, the management of the Company expects that no credit loss of accounts receivable will be caused by default of transaction counterparties.

  • 2) The Group adopted the simplified method of IFRS 9, and recognized the expected credit loss during the existence in the accounts receivable allowance loss. The expected credit loss during the existence was calculated using the reserve matrix, with consideration of the customers’ past default record and historical experience of collection, increase in delayed payments beyond the average credit period, and at the same time with consideration of the current financial status of customers, and observable national or regional industrial

159

economic situation changes related to the arrears of receivables and future prospects such as outlook considerations. As the Group’s historical experience of credit losses indicates that there would be no significant differences in the loss patterns of different customer bases, the preparation matrix did not further distinguish the customer bases, only the accounts receivable days past due and actual conditions would determine the expected credit loss rate. The Group did not hold any collateral for these accounts receivable.

If there was evidence indicating that the counterparty was facing serious financial difficulties and the Group could not reasonably anticipate the recoverable amount, the Group would recognize 100% allowance loss or directly write off the related accounts receivable, but would, meanwhile, continue to recourse the activities due to the amount recovered and recognized in profit or loss.

  • 3) Major lease events and clauses

  • A. The Group leased the land in the People’s Republic of China for use as a production plants and office spaces for land use right in 50 years. The entire rents should be paid up in a lump-sum at the time of execution of this Lease Agreement. The Group was not entitled to procure the land upon expiry of the duration of land use right. The Group was entitled to the act of disposition such as land use right, income right, transfer and lease within the land use limit, and the Group is responsible to pay a variety of taxes as required.

In addition, the subject assets leased by the Group include buildings & constructions, machinery equipment and transportation facilities, and the like. At the end of the lease term, the Group held no preferential acquisition rights for the leased target assets, and some leases were attached to lease term renewal right after expiration. The lease agreement was negotiated individually and contained various terms and conditions. Some lease agreements stipulate that the lease payment may be adjusted according to the consumer price index. Assets other than leases should not be used as loan collateral, and it was agreed that unless with the consent of the lessor, the Group should not sublet or transfer the Subject Premises either in whole or in part. Except these facts, the lease agreement was free of any other restrictions.

  • B. Option to prolong the lease

The part of the Subject Premises covered within the Group's lease agreement includes the extension option entitled to the Group. Under the general practice for the lease agreement, the Group was bestowed with the maximum possible operating flexibility and effective use of assets. While the Group resolved to enter into the lease term, the Group already took into account all the facts and circumstances that will result in the economic incentives generated from the exercise of extension option. Therefore, upon the estimation for the exercise of extension option, as of

172

December 31, 2020 and 2019, the right-of-use assets increased by NT$294,345 thousand and NT$279,050 thousand,, respectively; and the lease liabilities increased by NT$286,730 thousand and NT$280,427 thousand, respectively.

  • C. Impact of variable lease payments on lease liabilities

In the Group's lease agreement, the variable lease payment terms are subject to storage/usage link. The variable payment depends on the actual use of the underlying assets. The variable payment terms are used for many reasons, mainly for profit control and operating flexibility to minimize fixed costs. The changes in storage/usage of lease payments are recognized as expenses during the period that triggers these payment terms.

4) Sublet:

The Group sub-leases the right to use part of the leased spaces under a short-term operating lease. The rent has been collected in accordance with the lease agreements. Most lease agreements could be renewed at the market price at the end of the lease term. Those lease agreements include clauses that can adjust the rent according to the market environments every year. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the proceeds from sublease of right-of-use assets amounted to NT$948 thousand and NT$938 thousand respectively.

5) Other lease related information

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group recognized rental income of NT$7,068 thousand and NT$6,409 thousand respectively based on operating lease agreements. Among them, there was no income from variable lease payments.

The Group’s agreement to lease investment property by means of operating lease is detailed in Note 6(14)-6.

6) The Group conducted impairment assessment on the recoverable amount of goodwill on the balance sheet date and took the value in use as the calculation basis for the recoverable amount. The calculation of value in use is based on the cash flow of the Group's future financial forecasts to reflect the specific risks of those relevant cash-generating unit(s).

The Group’s goodwill generated as a result of the acquisition of GPPC Investment Corp. was valued at NT$15,155 thousand. As of December 31, 2020, it was assessed that the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit related to the goodwill was below the book value. Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2020, NT$15,155 thousand was recognized for impairment loss of goodwill. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit related to the goodwill was determined on the basis of the value in use and duly calculated based on the pre-tax cash flow forecast of the approved financial budget of the Group and the discount rate used to

176

calculate the value in use was 3.09%. Other key assumptions include estimated operating income and gross profit. These assumptions are conducted based on the past operating conditions of the cash-generating units and the management's expectations of the market.

  • E. Composition of the plan assets

The Group did not allocate related assets, the effected payment based on actual occurrence.

  • F. The present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations of the

181

Group was actuarially counted by a qualified actuary. The main assumptions of the actuarial evaluation on the measurement date are as follows:

follows:
Items
Discount rate
Future salary growth rate
Year Ended
December 31, 2020
0.375% - 0.500%
1.75% - 2.00%
Year Ended
December 31, 2019
0.625% - 0.750%
1.75% - 2.00%

The assumption of future mortality rate is estimated based on the fifth life experience table of life insurance industry in Taiwan.

  • G. Because changes in the main actuarial assumption used, the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations is affected. The analysis was as follows:

  • ① Interest rate risks

The decline in the interest rate of government bonds would increase the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations, but the returns on debt investment of the plan assets would also increase accordingly. The both two would have a partial offset effect on other long-term employee benefits liabilities.

  • ② Salary related risks

The calculation of the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations refers to the future salary of the plan members. Therefore, the increase in the salary of plan members would increase the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations.

  • H. In the event that the significant actuarial assumptions were subject to a combination of possible changes, and if other assumptions remained unchanged, the amount of increase (decrease) in present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations would be as follows:
Items Discount rate Discount rate Future salary growth rate Future salary growth rate

($ 234) $ 243 $ 153 ($ 147)
($ 182) $ 189 $ 103 ($ 100)

Practically, since actuarial assumptions might relate to each other, it would be unlikely to have a single assumption in change. The aforementioned sensitivity analysis, therefore, might not reflect the actual change in the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations. In addition, in the aforementioned sensitivity analysis, the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations at the end date of the reporting period would be based on the actuarial calculation of the projected unit credit method and the defined benefit liabilities included in the balance sheet would be measured on the same basis. The method assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis in the

182

current year was exactly same as that used in the prior one.

  • I. The Group expected to pay to other long-term employee benefit plans in Year 2021 in the amount of attribution and the amount of payment at NT$0 and NT$782 thousand, respectively.

  • 2) Decommissioning liabilities

  • A. Under promulgated policies and applicable contracts or regulatory requirements, the Group was obligated to dismantle, remove or restore the location of some right-of-use assets. Accordingly, the present value of the cost expected to be incurred in the location of the removal, relocation or restoration is recognized as a provision. The Group expects that this provision would occur in the next 8 years on various occasions in succession.

  • 1) Defined benefit plans

  • A. In accordance with the “Labor Standards Act”, the Company and the domestic subsidiaries in the Group have established retirement methods to define benefits. Under the “Labor Pension Act” applicable on July 1, 2005, the service seniority accumulated by employees prior to enforcement of the “Labor Pension Act” and subsequently accumulated by employees who chose subject to “Labor Standards Act” after enforcement of the “Labor Pension Act” as entitled to retirement would be taken to count pension which would be calculated number of years in the service seniority accumulated and the salary amounts averaged in the six (6) months prior to retirement. Each year of service seniority accumulated in full within fifteen (15) years (inclusive) would be entitled to two base units and each year the period of service seniority accumulated beyond fifteen (15) years would be entitled to one base unit. The cumulative base units shall not exceed the maximum limit of 45 base units. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries attributed retirement funds on a monthly basis to the specified ratio of total salary, and deposited the funds in the bank account designated for pension fund opened with the Bank of Taiwan under the name of the Labor Retirement Reserve Supervision Committee. Besides, in response to the retirement needs of senior managers, the Company set up the “Manager’s

183

Retirement Fund Management Committee” in September 2004 and attributed on a monthly basis for a certain ratio (currently about 40%) of the total salary of managers into the management of the Manager’s Retirement Fund Management Committee and deposited in a special account of a financial institution opened in the name of the Manager’s Retirement Reserve Fund. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries estimate the balance of the retirement fund mentioned in the preceding item before the end of each year. In the event that the balance is found not enough to pay off the pension amount calculated according to the foregoing for the employees who meet the retirement requirements in the next year, the Company would make up the difference in a lump-sum before the end of March of the following year.

H. The defined benefit retirement plan assets of the Company and the domestic subsidiaries were commissioned into business management through Bank of Taiwan according to the proportion of the items of commissioned management as specified under the annual investment utilization plans of the funds and within the specified amounts within the items as per Article 6 of Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund (i.e., to be deposited into financial institutions in Taiwan and abroad, to be invested in the Exchange-listed and OTC-listed companies or private placement equity securities and to be invested into securitized commodities of real property in Taiwan and abroad). The relevant utilization was under supervision by the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee. In the utilization of the Fund, the minimum gain distributed amidst final account settlement in every fiscal year should not be lower than the income calculated by the local banks’ two-year fixed term deposit interest rate. The shortfall, if any, should be supplemented by the national treasury after approval by the competent authority. Where the Company

185

was not entitled to participate in the operation and management of the fund, the Company could not classify the plan assets at the fair value disclosed under IAS 19 Paragraph 142. For more details of the fair value of the total assets of the Fund as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, please refer to reports of the Labor Pension Fund Utilization promulgated by the government in the respective years.

The assumption of future mortality rate is estimated based on the fifth life experience table of life insurance industry in Taiwan.

  • J. The Company and the domestic subsidiaries have been exposed to the following risks due to the Labor Standards Act:

  • Interest rate risks

The decline in the interest rate of government bonds would increase the present value of defined benefit obligations, but the returns on debt investment of the plan assets would also increase accordingly. The both two have a partial offset effect on the net defined benefit liabilities.

  • Salary related risks

The calculation of the present value of defined benefit obligation refers to the future salary of the plan members. Therefore, the increase in the salary of plan members would increase the present value of defined benefit obligations.

  • K. In the event that the significant actuarial assumptions were subject to a combination of possible changes, and if other assumptions remained unchanged, the amount of increase (decrease) in present value of the defined benefit obligations would be as follows:

Practically, since actuarial assumptions might relate to each other, it would be unlikely to have a single assumption in change. The aforementioned sensitivity analysis, therefore, might not reflect the actual

186

change in the present value of defined benefit obligations. In addition, in the aforementioned sensitivity analysis, the present value of defined benefit obligations at the end date of the reporting period would be based on the actuarial calculation of the projected unit credit method and the defined benefit liabilities included in the balance sheet would be measured on the same basis. The method assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis in the current year was exactly same as that used in the prior one.

  • L. The Company and the domestic subsidiaries expected to pay the aforesaid defined benefit plans in Year 2021 in the amount of contribution and the amount of payment NT$19,074 thousand and NT$38,534 thousand, respectively. Payment in the Company's account was NT$12,000 thousand.

  • 2) Defined contribution plans

  • A. The Company and the domestic subsidiaries of the Group have established the regulations on defined contribution retirement in accordance with the "Labor Pension Act", which are applicable to employees of ROC (Taiwan) nationality. The Company withheld 6% of the salary as labor pension into the employees’ personal pension accounts of Bureau of Labor Insurance for the employee who chose to apply the labor pension system specified under the "Labor Pension Act" and the payment of pension was granted based on the employees’ personal pension accounts and the amount of accumulated income either on a monthly basis or in one-time pension payment. Under such plan, after the Company and the domestic subsidiary contributed a fixed amount to the Bureau of Labor Insurance, the Company and the subsidiaries would no longer be subject to statutory or presumed obligations extra.

  • B. The foreign subsidiaries of the Group have contributed old-age insurance fund or reserve of retirement allowance in accordance with the retirement regulations promulgated by the local governments. The pension for every employee has been managed under packaged arrangement by the local government authorities. Those companies have not been subject to further obligations except contribution of the pension on a monthly basis or on an annual basis as required by the Local Government Authorities.

  • C. The Group recognized the pension costs in accordance with the aforementioned defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to NT$26,730 thousand and NT$26,760 thousand, respectively.

(45) Earnings per share (EPS)

The basic earnings per share (EPS) of the Company was calculated by dividing the current year's net profit (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding; the shares added by undistributed earnings or capital reserve conversion to capital increase in cash, then with retroactive adjustment calculation.

If the Company was entitled to the option to distribute compensation to employee in stocks or cash, then upon calculating the diluted earnings per share (EPS), it was assumed that the compensation to employee would be distributed by stocks and would be included in the weighted average number of outstanding shares when the potential common stocks were entitled to dilution effect so as to calculate the diluted earnings per share (EPS). When calculating the diluted earnings per share (EPS) before the resolution of distributing compensation to employee in the following year, the Company also continues to take into account the dilution effect of these potential common shares.

  • 2) Financial risk management policies

In terms of routine business operation, the Group has been subject to impact from a variety of financial risks, including market risks (including exchange rate risks, interest rate risks and price risks), credit risks and liquidity risks. In an attempt to minimize relevant financial risks, the Group has put forth maximum possible efforts to identify, evaluate and evade the uncertainty in the markets to minimize the negative impact of market variation upon the Company's financial performance.

The Group has set up appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls in response to the aforementioned financial risk management in accordance with relevant regulations, and all important financial activities must be reviewed by the Board of Directors in accordance with relevant regulations and internal control systems. During the implementation of the financial plan, the Group must comply with the relevant financial operation procedures for overall financial risk management and division of powers and responsibilities.

  • 3) The attribute and level of significant financial risks

  • A. Market risks

Here at the Group, the market risk has notably been the risk in financial instruments' fair value or cash flow fluctuations due to changes in market prices. Such market risks mainly include exchange rate risks, interest rate risks and price risks.

  • Exchange rate risks

The Group's business involves certain non-functional currencies (the functional currency of the Company and some subsidiaries has been the New Taiwan Dollars and the functional currencies of some subsidiaries have been U. S. Dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Malaysian Ringgit and Renminbi) so it is subject to exchange rate fluctuations impact. Information on foreign currency assets and liabilities with significant exchange rate fluctuations is as follows: (including non-functional currency-denominated monetary items that have been written off in the consolidated financial statements).

Note: The foreign currency related non-monetary assets measured at the historical exchange rate on the transaction date have not been disclosed because they have no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Here at the Group, the sensitivity analysis on the exchange rate risks mainly focuses on the major foreign currency monetary items and non-monetary items at the end of the financial statement period, and the related foreign currency appreciation/depreciation impact on the Group's profit and loss as well as equity. Where the exchange rates for foreign currencies was appreciated/depreciated by 1%, the net profit after tax for the Group for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would increase/decrease at NT$15,938 thousand and NT$11,263 thousand respectively while the equity would increase/decrease by NT$89,510 thousand and NT$66,487 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the net loss with exchange in foreign currency (including realization and un realization) under the Group's monetary items for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were NT$32,279 thousand and NT$28,741 thousand, respectively. Due to multiple currency types of foreign currency transactions, practically, it was impossible to clearly distinguish the types of exchange gains and losses and their exposure separately according to each foreign currency, so they are expressed in a summary amount.

 Interest rate risks

The interest rate related risks refers to the risks of financial instruments' fair value or future cash flow fluctuations due to

211

changes in market interest rates. The Group's interest rate risks mainly come from floating rate in loans where some of the risks would be held with floating rates through cash & cash equivalents offset. Where the Group regularly assesses the trend of interest rate changes and responds to it, it is not expected that there would be a significant risk of market interest rate changes. If the loans interest rate increases or decreases by 10 basis points, with all other factors remaining unchanged, the net profit after tax of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would decrease/increase by NT$305 thousand and NT$16 thousand, respectively.

 Price risks

The investment held by the Group as shown through the balance sheet has been primarily classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and financial assets at fair values through other comprehensive income. The Group has been, therefore, exposed to pricing risks of equity instruments. In an effort to manage the pricing risks of equity instruments, the Group virtually diversifies its investment portfolio in a manner that was based on the limits set by the Group. The Group has invested in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income with the price of financial instruments such as profit or loss affected by the uncertainty of the future value of the investment target. If the price of such financial instruments rises/falls by 1% where all other factors remain unchanged, the net profit after tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would increase/decrease by NT$5,084 thousand and NT$1,722 thousand, respectively and the equity would increase/decrease by NT$41,911 thousand and NT$44,889 thousand, respectively.

B. Credit risks

Credit risks refer to such risks in financial losses incurred in an event where a customer of the Group or financial instrument transaction counterparty fails to perform the contract. The credit risks of the Group primarily resulted from operating activities (primarily as accounts & notes receivable) and financial activities (primarily as bank deposits and a variety of financial instruments). The credit risks related to business operation and financial credit risks have been managed respectively.

 Credit risks related to business operation

The business department faithfully complies with the Group's customer credit risk policies, procedures and controls to manage customer credit risk. The credit risks assessment of all customers is a comprehensive consideration such as the financial status of the customers, the rating of the credit rating agency, past historical transaction experience, the current economic environment and the internal rating criteria of the Group. In addition, the Group also uses certain credit enhancement instruments (such as payments collected in advance, etc.) at appropriate times to minimize the credit risk of specific customers.

 Financial credit risks

212

Here at the Group, the Finance Department manages credit risks of bank deposits and other financial instruments in accordance with company policies. Since the Group’s transaction objects have been determined by internal control procedures as banks with good credit and an investment grade and above in the forms of institutions, company organizations. Where all such entities prove free of major performance doubts, there have been no major credit risks upon the Group.

 Information of credit-related risks in accounts receivable

The Group adopted the assumption provided under IFRS 9. As the payment was more than 30 days overdue from schedule in the provision of contracts, the financial asset was deemed to have significantly increased in credit risks from the initial recognition. In an event where a contract payment was more than 365 days overdue or where the loanee would be highly unlikely to fulfill the credit obligations to pay amount in full to the Group, the Group deemed that financial asset in default.

In an effort to minimize credit risks, the management of the Group would assign the special team to assume the responsibility to determine the facility of credit extension, approve of credit extension or other supervisory procedures with actions to be taken as appropriate to assure successful retrieval of receivables. Besides, on the balance sheet date, the Group would, on one-by-one basis, recheck the reclaimable amounts of receivables to assure that appropriate allowance would have been provided against the potential loss. For facts of changes regarding aging analysis of accounts receivables and allowance loss, please see Note 6(3) & (4).

 Exposure to credit risks

The Group has been well known for the sound quality of credit standing with financial institutions and has tried to profoundly diversify potential credit risks with multiple financial institutions. As natural result, the Group has seen very low potential default. Besides, the Group has been in transactions with only third parties of very fine credit standing and would grant credit lines toward customers exactly based on the credit facility procedures. Meanwhile, with continued efforts to look into customers’ credit standing and with evaluation of the possibility to retrieve accounts receivable on a regular basis, the Group has amortized adequate allowance against loss. The management has, therefore, firmly believed that the Group’s receivables would not have been significantly concentrated in the credit risks. As of the balance sheet date in terms of cash & cash equivalents, contract assets - current, receivables and other financial assets - current, the maximum possible exposure to credit risks would be exactly the carrying amounts of such financial assets.

The table below summarizes the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities, grouped by the relevant maturity date based on the earliest possible date of repayment and compiled with its undiscounted cash flow. The Group did not expect that the time when the cash flow of the analysis of the due date occurred would be significantly earlier or the actual amount would be significantly different. The interest cash flow paid at floating interest rates, the undiscounted interest amount derived based on the yield curve on the balance sheet date which was the amount of floating interest rate instrument of a non-derivative financial liability. The amount of the floating interest rate instrument would change according to the different interest rate and the estimated interest rate on the balance sheet date. For more details regarding the analysis of the due date of lease liabilities, please see Note 6(13)-2-(2).

  • (4) Information of fair value

  • 1) Fair value hierarchy

The evaluation technique used to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments divided the fair value into the first to the third level based on the observable degrees. Each fair value hierarchy was defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Referring to the public quotation (unadjusted) from the same asset or liability in the active market.

  • Level 2: In addition to the public quotation of Level 1, the fair value is derived using observable input parameters that belong to the asset or liability directly (i.e., the price) or indirectly (i.e., derived from price).

  • Level 3: Referring to the input parameters (non-observable parameters) of the valuation techniques for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data to derive fair value.

  • 2) Financial instruments not measured at fair values

The Group's financial instruments not measured at fair values (including cash & cash equivalents, contract assets - current, notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, other financial assets - current, short-term loans, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables and the like) refer to rational approximate values in the carrying amounts at fair values. Where refundable deposits and guarantee deposits received would not be subject to significant impact in the cash flow discounting, their carrying amounts should be the very rational grounds to estimate the fair values. The long-term loan contracts bore an agreed floating interest rate. Since the floating interest rates were mostly close to the market interest rates, the discounted value of its expected cash flow is used to estimate its fair value to approximate its book value.

  • 3) As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 for financial and non-financial instruments at fair values were classified by the Group based on the attributes, characteristics, risks and fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities, with the relevant information as follows:

4) Evaluation technology and assumptions adopted to measure fair values:

The fair values of the financial and non-financial instruments refer to the amounts of current transaction of the said instruments with the interested counterparties (instead of mandatory means or liquidation). Here at the Group, the methods and assumptions used for the financial and non-financial instruments to measure the fair values are as follows:

  • A. In case of financial instruments with standard terms and conditions and traded in the active market, the fair value was determined by referring to the market quotation. The listed stocks were counted based on the closing price as fair value, the unlisted (OTC) emerging stocks were counted based on the transaction price as the fair value. Mutual fund beneficiary certificates were counted based on net worth as fair values.

  • B. For financial instruments with higher complexity, the Group measured the fair value based on the evaluation model developed using evaluation method and technology which were widely used between the fellow traders. Some of the parameters used in such evaluation models were not market observable information. The Group must make appropriate estimates based on assumptions. The Company's unlisted stocks on OTC held by the Group (excluding the emerging stocks that were traded in the active market) and the limited partnership were counted based on the market approach or the asset approach to estimate the fair value. The judgment was conducted with reference to the same type company evaluation, third-party quotation, the Company's net worth and business performance. In addition, the significant non-observable input value was mainly current discount. For more details regarding the impact of

216

non-market observable parameters on the evaluation of financial instruments please see Note 12(4)-10.

  • C. The output of the evaluation model was the approximate value of the estimate and the evaluation technology might not reflect all relevant factors of the Group’s holding of financial instruments and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value of the evaluation model would be appropriately adjusted according to additional parameters, e.g., the model risk or liquidity risk. According to the Group’s fair value evaluation model management policy and related control procedures, the management believes that the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial instruments as shown in the balance sheet should be expressed in a fair way. The evaluation adjustment is appropriate and essential. The price information and parameters used in the evaluation process have been carefully evaluated and appropriately adjusted according to the current market conditions.

  • D. The Group took credit risks evaluation adjustment into consideration of calculation in fair value of the financial instruments and non-financial instruments to respectively reflect the credit risk of the transaction counterparties and credit quality of the Group.

  • 5) Transfer of fair values between Level 1 and Level 2 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: Nil

  • 6) Change in the financial instruments of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

  • 7) Facts of outward transfer from Grade III and inward transfer into Grade III for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

During the period starting for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group's original holding of emerging stocks not listed onto TSE(OTC) was terminated from transaction in emerging stocks on August 20, 2020. This resulted in a lack of sufficient observable market information. Accordingly, on the date such very fact took place, the Group transferred the fair value from the first level to the third level.

  • 8) The Group's evaluation process for the fair value classified in Level 3 was the independent fair value verification of financial instruments conducted by the Company's Financial Department in collaboration with an outsourced professional evaluation agency. The independent sources of data were used to bring the evaluation results closer to the market status as independent, reliable,

217

and other resources consistent with and represent the executable price, and regularly update the required input values and data, and any other necessary fair value adjustments to ensure that the evaluation results would be rational.

  • 9) The quantitative information about the significant unobservable input value of the evaluation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement items and the sensitivity analysis of the significant unobservable input value change are explained as follows:

  • (5) Extra disclosure of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19):

Affected by the global pandemic of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), the Group's sales volume of various products plummeted sharply, resulting in a decrease in consolidated revenue of approximately 19% in 2020 compared to the same period last year. In response to the impact of the pandemic, the Group has taken the following countermeasures:

  • 1) Adjustment of business operation strategies:

The panic of the global economic recession leads to a decline in oil demand in conjunction with the decline in oil prices as well. In an effort to avoid major losses due to fluctuation in the market, production and sales operators need to be extremely cautious in reducing inventories. They should put further effort to expand the replacement of superior prices in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions to realize the sustainable operation of the Company, Only with such sophisticated countermeasures could we assure a certain amount of production and sales and maintain profitability amidst the volatile markets.

2) Financing strategies:

Given the impact of the epidemic on the economy, we shall strive to balance production and sales to minimize the pressure of excessive inventory funds and shall, temporarily, adopt various austerity policies for entertainment, with use of private vehicles for public purposes and phone bills so as to economize operating expenses and stabilize the financial structure.

  • 3) Government bailout measures:

Here at the Group, we have successively applied to the government for various subsidies in working capital and salary and applied for abatement in electricity and water bills. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a total of NT$44,578 thousand bailout allowances and pandemic prevention information broadcast subsidies along with a total of NT$4,387 thousand expenses for electricity and water fee from the abatement package.

In the Group, we have taken the potential economic impact upon the pandemic into consideration of major accounting estimates based on the information available as of the balance sheet date. In Taiwan, domestic epidemic has slowed down and the government has gradually untiled controls and restrictions. Throughout the world, nevertheless, lots of countries are still adopting lockdown management. The global economic situation continues to shrink leading to a significant change in consumption patterns. The timing of the Group's return to normal operations remains uncertain. As the epidemic slows down and policies are loosened, the Group expects

219

to gradually restore the business operation to a normal manner.

  1. Information of the operating segments

  2. (1) The “operating segments” as set forth herein were business composing units which would comport with the following characteristics:

     - 1) The operating activities to obtain revenues and incur expenses.
    
     - 2) Where the operating results would be regularly rechecked by the enterprise’s decision-makers to formulate decisions to allocate resources of the segments and to evaluate the performance of the segments
    
     - 3) With individual and separable financial information.
    
  3. (2) Based on the view of the operating decision-makers, the Group would recheck the link up with various managerial departments and the products and labor services. The operating units were classified into three reportable operating segments:

     - 1) Petrochemistry Department: That department was responsible for the production, processing and trading of related products and their products using styrene as raw materials.
    

232

  • 2) Television Media Department: That department was responsible for TV program production, import and export agency distribution of cable TV programs and various advertising agencies and the planning and production thereof.

  • 3) Packaging Materials Department: That department was responsible for manufacturing, processing and trading of various packaging materials such as trademark paper and release paper.

Other operating activities not reported by the Group and related information of the operating segments are consolidated and disclosed under "Other Departments".

  • (3) The departments required to be reported to the Group were strategic business units to provide different products and labor services. Each strategic business unit would call for different technologies and marketing strategies, so they must be managed separately.

  • (4) Here in the Group, the management individually monitored the operating results of the business units to formulate resource distribution and performance evaluation decisions. The performance of the operating segment was measured based on operating profit or loss, and the amount so measured was provided to the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources to the department and evaluate its performance and, in turn, adopted the consistent method of operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial report. The operating cost of the headquarters in the consolidated financial report, income tax expense (gain) and non-recurring profit or loss (non-operating income and expenditure) were, nevertheless, based on the management of the parent company, and was not distributed to the reportable department. The reported amount and the report used by the operating decision maker proved consistent. The transfer price between the operating segments was based on the regular transactions as similar to external third parties. The operating segment’s accounting policies were roughly the same as those shown in Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Responsibilities of Management and Governance Unit to Individual Financial Reports

The management is responsible for preparing adequately expressed individual financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and maintaining necessary internal control relevant to the compilation of the individual financial statements in order to ensure that no significant untruthful expressions caused by frauds or errors exist in the individual financial statements.

While preparing the individual financial statement, the management is responsible for also evaluating the ability of Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation to continue with the operation and disclosing related matters and adopting the accounting basis for continued operation, among others. Unless the management intends to liquidate Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation or discontinue operation or there are no other actually feasible solutions than liquidation or discontinued operation.

238

The governance unit (including the Audit Committee) of Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

Responsibilities of CPAs in Inspecting Individual Financial Statement

We audit the individual financial statement in order to be reasonably convinced as to whether the individual financial statement as a whole contains major untruthful expressions due to frauds or errors and to issue the audit report. Reasonably convinced is highly convinced. There is no guarantee, however, that existence of significant untruthful expressions in the individual financial statement will be detected according to generally accepted auditing standards. Untruthful expressions might have been caused by frauds or errors. If individual values or an overview of untruthful expressions can be reasonably expected to affect economic decisions made by users of the individual financial statement, they are considered significant.

We apply our professional judgment and keep our professional doubts while performing the audit according to generally accepted auditing standards. The CPAs also perform the following tasks:

  1. Identify and evaluate the risk of significant untruthful expressions in the individual financial statement due to frauds or errors, design and enforce appropriate responsive policies for determined risks; and collect sufficient and adequate evidence from the audit in order to render audit opinions. Due to the fact that frauds might involve collusion, forging, intentional omission, untruthful statement, or non-compliance with internal control, the risk associated with undetected significant untruthful expressions caused by frauds is higher than that caused by errors.

  2. Obtain a necessary understanding of internal control concerning the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures reflective of then-current situation. The purpose, however, is not to effectively express opinions on the internal control of Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation.

  3. Evaluate the adequacy of accounting policies adopted by the management and the legitimacy of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.

  4. Reach a conclusion with regard to the adequacy of the accounting basis adopted to continue with operation by the management and whether significant uncertainties of events or conditions that might result in significant concerns about the ability of Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation to continue with operation exist or not according to the evidence obtained from the audit. In the event that it is determined that significant uncertainties exist with such events or conditions, on the other hand, the CPAs must remind users of the individual financial statement in their audit report that they should pay attention to related disclosures included in the statement or modify their audit opinions if such disclosures are inappropriate. Conclusions made by the CPAs are based on the evidence from the audit obtained as of the date of the audit report. Future events or conditions, however, are likely to result in Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation no longer capable of continuing with operation.

  5. Evaluate the overall expression, structure, and contents of the individual financial statement (including related notes) and whether or not the individual financial statement has fairly expressed related transactions and events.

  6. Obtain sufficient and adequate evidence from the audit regarding the financial information of entities comprising Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation and express opinions about the individual financial statement. The CPAs are responsible for providing guidance on, supervising, and implementing audits and for coming up with audit opinions for the individual financial statement.

Communications made by the CPAs with governance units include the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including significant deficiencies found with internal control during the audit).

239

The CPAs have also provided the governance units with the declaration on independence that independently governed staff in the accounting firm that the CPAs belong to have followed moral regulations in honor of the profession of CPA and have communicated with the governance units all relationships and other matters considered to be likely undermining the independence of CPAs (including related safeguard measures).

The CPAs, from the matters communicated with the governance units, decided key matters to be included in the 2020 individual financial statement audit of Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation. The CPAs specify such matters in the audit report unless it is disallowed by law to disclose to the public specific matters or under rare circumstances, the CPAs decide not to communicate specific matters in the audit report as it can be reasonably expected that negative impacts from such communication would be greater than the public interest that will be enhanced.

  1. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the individual financial statements are explained below. Unless otherwise specified, these policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

  • (1) Statement of compliance

The individual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • (2) Basis of preparation

  • 1) Except for the following significant items, the individual financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

    • A. Financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss measured based on the fair value.

    • B. Financial assets at fair values through other comprehensive income measured based on the fair value.

    • C. The liabilities on the shares-based payment agreement with cash settlement measured based on the fair value.

    • D. Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • 2) The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the individual financial statements, please refer to Note 5.

  • 3) When preparing individual financial statements, the Company adopts the equity method for subsidiaries, associates, or joint ventures that it has investments in. In order for the profits and losses, other comprehensive income, and equities of the year in this individual financial statement to be identical to those in the Company’s consolidated financial statement that attribute to the clients of the Company, on the individual and consolidated bases, for several accounting differences, the “investments accounted for using the equity method”, the “shares of profits and losses of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method”, “shares of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method”, and related equity items were adjusted.

  • (3) Foreign currency translation

  • 1) Items included in the Company's individual financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The individual financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company's functional and the

248

Company's presentation currency.

  • 2) When preparing financial statements using currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currency) converted into functional currency at the spot exchange rate on the transaction day or measurement date, and the exchange difference resulting from the translation of these transactions was recognized as current profit and loss. At the end of the financial statement period, the balance of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities were evaluated and adjusted at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and translation differences arising from the adjustment were recognized as current profit and loss. In case of foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities, the balance was evaluated and adjusted at the spot exchange rate quoted on the balance sheet date as measured at fair value through profit or loss, and the exchange difference arising from the adjustment was recognized as current profit and loss as measured at fair value through comprehensive income. The resulting exchange differences resulting from the adjustment were recognized in other comprehensive income items; where they were not measured at fair value, they were measured at the historical exchange rate on the initial trading day. All gains and losses on exchange were reported according to the attribute of the transaction and other gains and losses in the comprehensive income.

  • 3) The Company’s assets and liabilities of the foreign operations (including the subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures or branches of the Company in the countries of business operation or those using different currencies) were translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the spot exchange rate quoted on the balance sheet date. The income and expense items were translated using the exchange rates average in that period. All exchange differences arising from the translation were recognized as other comprehensive income.

  • 4) When the foreign operations were disposed of and constituting a loss of control, joint control or significant influence on the foreign operations, all and the relevant interests of the foreign operations would be reclassified into profit or loss. In some cases where the disposal of subsidiaries in foreign operations did not constitute a loss of control of the subsidiary, the cumulative exchange difference recognized in other comprehensive income was calculated into the equity transaction on a pro rata basis, but it was not recognized as profit or loss. In some cases where the interests of the disposal of associates or joint venture in foreign operations did not constitute a significant impact of loss on the associates or joint venture or joint control in interests, the cumulative exchange difference recognized in other comprehensive income was reclassified into profit or loss based on the disposal ratio.

  • (4) Criteria of classification of current and noncurrent assets and liabilities

  • 1) Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:

    • A. Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

    • B. Assets arising mainly from trading activities;

    • C. Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve (12) months from the balance sheet date;

    • D. Cash & cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being used for an exchange or used to settle a liability for more than twelve (12) months after the balance sheet date.

249

The Company classifies the assets that do not satisfy the above conditions as noncurrent.

  • 2) Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:

  • A. Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;

  • B. Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • C. Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve (12) months from the balance sheet date;

  • D. Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve (12) months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

The Company classifies the liabilities that do not satisfy the above conditions as noncurrent.

(5) Cash & cash equivalents

Cash & cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits, and short-term and highly liquidity investments that could be converted into cash in fixed amounts at any time with little change in value risk. Time deposits that meet the aforementioned definitions and are held for short-term operations cash promise are classified as cash equivalent.

(6) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities should be recognized when the Company became a party to the terms of the financial instruments contract.

When financial assets and financial liabilities were initially recognized, they were measured at the fair value. At the time of initial recognition, the transaction costs acquired or issued directly attributable to financial assets and financial liabilities (unless classified as financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss), shall be added or subtracted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction costs directly attributable to financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss should be recognized immediately as profit or loss.

  • (7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss and designation as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include investments in equity instruments that the Company does not specify at fair value through other comprehensive income, and investments in debt instruments that did not qualify as being measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • 2) In a case carried at amortized costs or financial assets at fair values through other comprehensive income, when measurement or recognition inconsistency could be eliminated or significantly reduced, the Company designated the case as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at the time of initial recognition.

250

  • 3) The Company adopts transaction day accounting for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss consistent with transaction customs.

  • 4) The Company measured at fair value at the time of initial recognition, and recognized related transaction costs in profit or loss and subsequently measured at fair value and the gains or losses were recognized in profit or loss.

  • 5) When the right to receive dividends was ascertained and the economic benefits related to dividends were likely to flow inward while the amount of dividends could be reliably measured, the Company recognized the dividend income in profit or loss.

  • (8) Financial assets at fair values through other comprehensive income

  • 1) Referring to an irrevocable option at the time of initial recognition to report changes in the fair value of investments in equity instruments that were not held for trading in other comprehensive income; or the investment in debt instrument simultaneously met the following conditions:

    • A. The financial asset held under the business model of collecting cash flows under contracts and for the purposes of selling.

    • B. The cash flow generated on a specific date under the contract terms for the financial assets were completely intended to pay off the principal and the interest of the outstanding principals.

  • 2) The Company adopts transaction day accounting for financial assets at fair value through comprehensive income consistent with transaction customs.

  • 3) The Company measured at fair value plus transaction costs at initial recognition, and subsequently at fair value:

    • A. Changes in the fair value of equity instruments were recognized in other comprehensive income. When derecognized, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income would not be reclassified to profit or loss and would be transferred to retained earnings instead. When the right to receive dividends was ascertained and the economic benefits related to dividends were likely to flow inward while the amount of dividends could be reliably measured, the Company recognized the dividend income in profit or loss.

    • B. Changes in the fair value of debt instruments were recognized in other comprehensive income, impairment losses before derecognition, interest income and gains and losses in foreign currency exchange were recognized in profit or loss, and at the time of derecognition, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income were reclassified from the equity into profit or loss.

  • (9) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

  • 1) Referring to the events that conform with the conditions as below simultaneously:

    • A. The financial assets held under the business model for the purposes of collecting cash flows under contracts.

    • B. The cash flow generated on a specific date under the contract terms for the financial assets were completely intended to pay off the principal and the interest of the outstanding principals.

  • 2) The Company adopts transaction day accounting for financial assets carried at

251

amortized cost consistent with transaction customs.

  • 3) The Company measured at fair value plus transaction costs at initial recognition, and subsequently used the effective interest method to recognize interest income during the circulation period based on the amortization process, and recognized impairment losses, and when derecognized, the gains or losses were recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) The Company held time deposits that were not eligible for cash equivalent. As the holding period was short, the effect of discounting was insignificant, which was measured by the amount of investment.

(10) Accounts & notes receivable

Referring to the contract which had been received unconditionally for the accounts and notes for the right to consideration exchanged due to the transfer of products or labor services. As short-term accounts & notes receivable were paid without bearing interest, the impact of the discounting was insignificant, therefore, the Company measured at the initial amount.

(11) Impairment of financial assets

For investment in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial assets carried at amortized cost and accounts receivable or contract assets that contain significant financial components, rent receivables, lending commitments and financial guarantee contracts, The Company, after considering all reasonable and corroborable information (including forward-looking perspectives) on each balance sheet date, measured by the amount of expected credit loss in twelve (12) months toward an insignificant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. For the credit risk has increased significantly since the original recognition, the allowance for loss was measured by the amount of expected credit loss during the existence period. For accounts or contract assets that do not include significant financial components, the allowance for losses measured by the amount of expected credit loss during the existence period.

  • (12) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company will derecognize financial assets when one of the following conditions is met:

  1. When rights to contract of receiving cash flow from financial asset has expired.

  2. Transfer of right to contract of receiving cash flow from financial asset, and when nearly all risk and reward associated with the said financial assets have been transferred.

  3. Transfer of rights to contract of receiving cash flow from financial asset, and excluding control over the financial assets.

  4. (13) Lease transaction of the lessor - rent receivables/operating leases

  5. 1) Pursuant to the terms and conditions under the lease agreements, when almost all the risks and rewards of lease ownership were borne by the lessee, they are classified as finance leases.

    • A. As the lease started up, the net lease investment (including the original direct cost) was recognized as "rent receivables", and the difference between the total lease receivables and the present value was recognized as "unearned financing income from finance leases".

    • B. Subsequent adoption of a systematic and reasonable basis to allocate

252

financing income over the lease period to reflect a fixed rate of return on the net lease investment held by the lessor.

  - C. The period related lease payments (excluding service costs) offset the total lease investment to reduce the principal and unearned financing income.
  • 2) Lease income from operating leases, net of any incentives given to the lessee, was recognized as a current profit or loss and amortized on a straight line basis during the lease period.

  • (14) Inventory

Inventories were measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, whichever is the lower under the perpetual inventory system adopted, and the cost was determined by the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, and production-related manufacturing overhead (as normal capacity distribution), but excludes borrowing costs. Upon comparison of cost and the net realizable value, whichever was the lower, the itemized comparison method was adopted. The net realizable value refers to the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less the estimated cost that must be invested to completion and the balance after related changes in selling expenses.

  • (15) Investments accounted for using the equity method/subsidiaries

  • 1) Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company (including structural entities). When the Company is exposed to the variable compensation from participation in an entity or is entitled to the said variable compensation and is capable of impacting the compensation through its power over the entity, the Company has control over the entity. The Company adopts the equity method when handling investments in subsidiaries. Upon acquisition, they are recognized by the cost, including the goodwill already identified upon acquisition, with any accumulated impairment loss estimated to occur subsequently deducted.

  • 2) The share of profit or loss for the Company after acquisition of a subsidiary is recognized as current profit and loss and the share of other comprehensive income after acquisition is recognized as other comprehensive income. When the share of loss recognized by the Company in its subsidiaries is equal to or exceeds the equity held by the Company in the subsidiaries, the shareholding ratio will continue to be applied in the recognition of loss.

  • 3) The unrealized profits or losses of fair current transactions between the Company and subsidiaries were eliminated in the individual. The profits and losses generated from the countercurrent and side stream transactions between the Company and subsidiaries were recognized in the individual financial statements only to the extent that the Company has no interest in the subsidiaries. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted as necessary, and the policies adopted by the Company have been consistent.

  • 4) When changes in an subsidiary's equity are not recognized in profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary and such changes do not affect the Company's shareholding ratio of the subsidiary, the Company recognizes the Company's share of change in equity of the subsidiary in 'capital reserves' in shareholding ratio .

  • 5) Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests)

253

are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

  • 6) When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, the Group measures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. The difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in current profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on other comprehensive income as previously recognized, its accounting treatment is on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed directly by the Company. That is, when the Company loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

  • 7) As is required by the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, the current profit and loss and other comprehensive income in individual financial statements and those in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis that belong to the parent company's owners‘ amortizations are the same and the equities of the owners in individual financial statements and those in financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis that belong to the parent company's owners’ equity are identical.

  • (16) Property, plant and equipment

  • 1) Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Loans costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

  • 2) Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • 3) Land is not depreciated. The subsequent measurement of other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

  • 4) The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed by the Company at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets' residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets' future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of various assets are as follows:

    • A. Buildings & constructions 4 - 56 years

254

  - B. Machinery & equipment 7 - 25 years

  - C. Transportation facilities 2 - 6 years

  - D. Other equipment 3 - 8 years
  • 5) The Company's depreciable assets were originally used in the rate-decreasing method at the time of tax declaration; however, the Company has switched to use the average method in Year 1998. This change was already approved by the National Taxation Bureau of the Southern Area, Ministry of Finance with Letter (1998) Nan-Qu-Guo-Shui-Shen-I-Zi 87051967.

  • (17) Lease agreements of the lessee - right-of-use assets/lease liabilities

  • 1) Lease assets were recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the date when they became available for use by the Company. When the lease agreement was a short-term lease or lease of a low-value underlying asset, the lease payment was recognized as expense by straight-line method

  • 2) In lease liabilities, the Company recognized the unpaid lease payments at the lease starting date at the present value of the Company’s incremental loan rate discounted. The lease payments include fixed payments, less any incentives that could be received for the lease. Subsequently the Company measure at the amortized cost method under the interest method and recorded as interest expenses during the lease period. When the non-contract modification caused a change in the lease period or lease payment, the lease liabilities would be reassessed, and the remeasurements would be adjusted to right-of-use assets.

  • 3) The right-of-use assets were recognized at cost on the lease starting date and the cost includes the original measured amount of lease liabilities. The subsequent measurement using cost model which were earlier at the end of the useful life of the right-of-use assets or at the end of the lease period while depreciation expenses were recorded. When lease liabilities were reassessed, right-of-use assets would adjust any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.

  • (18) Impairment loss on non-financial assets

The Company estimates the recoverable amount of assets with signs of impairment on the balance sheet date. When the recoverable amount was lower than its carrying amount, the impairment loss would be recognized. The recoverable amount refers to the fair value of an asset less disposal cost or its value in use, whichever is higher. Except for goodwill, when the impairment of assets recognized in previous years did not exist or decrease, the impairment loss would be reversed, but the asset carrying amount increased by the impairment loss should not exceed the carrying amount after depreciation or amortization of the asset if no impairment loss was recognized.

  • (19) Accounts payable

Accounts payable are obligations to pay for products or labor services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (20) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • 1) Referring to the main purpose of the sale or repurchase in the latest period, and financial liabilities held for trading except for derivatives instruments that are designated as hedging instruments under hedge accounting. The financial

255

liabilities at fair value through profit or loss were designated on the Initial recognition. When a financial liability meets one of the following conditions, the Company measured at fair value through profit loss on the initial recognition:

  • A. As hybrid (combined) contracts; or

  • B. Where the inconsistency in significant decrease measurement or recognition could be eliminated; or

  • C. Pursuant to the documented risk management policies, the instruments with performance evaluated in fair value based management.

  • 2) The Company measured at fair value at the time of initial recognition, and recognized the related transaction costs in profit or loss and subsequently measured at fair value and the gains or losses were recognized in profit or loss.

  • 3) In case of a financial liability designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss where the amount of change in fair value resulted from credit risk, except for avoiding improper accounting ratios or loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the Company recognized the same in other comprehensive income.

(21) Provisions

The Company is under current statutory or constructive obligation due to past events, very likely that economically efficient resources would need to be discharged to settle such obligation and the amount of the obligation could be reliably estimated when the provisions were recognized. The measurement of provisions is based on optimal estimated present value of the expenditure required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date. The discount rate uses the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of currency and the specific risk of the liability. The amortization discounted is recognized as interest expenses. The future loss in operations should not be recognized as provisions.

  • (22) Employee benefits

1) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.

2) Post-employment benefits

  • A. Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions of pension funds are recognized as current pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • B. Defined benefit plans

  • Net obligation under a defined benefit plans is defined as the present value of an amount of future benefits that employees will receive for their services with the Company in current year or prior periods, and the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate is determined by

256

reference to the balance sheet date, the currency of defined benefit plans and the market yield of high-quality corporate bonds that were consistent during the period. The countries of such bonds without in-depth market adopt the market yield of government bonds (as of the balance sheet date).

  • Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans is recognized in other comprehensive income in the current year in which they arise, and expressed in the retained earnings.

  • The expenses related to the service cost of the prior period were immediately recognized into profit or loss.

3) Termination benefits

Termination benefits refers to the benefits provided by the termination of the employment before the normal retirement date or when the employee decides to accept the Company’s benefits offer in exchange for termination of the employment. The cost of restructuring was not recognized until the moment while the Company could no longer revoke a contract for termination benefits or the restructuring cost was recognized, whichever came the earlier. Termination benefits that were not expected to be fully settled twelve (12) months after the balance sheet date should be discounted.

4) Compensation to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors

Compensation to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Subsequently, any difference between actual distributed amounts as resolved and estimated mounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.

  • (23) Financial liabilities & equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of financial liabilities or equity instruments

The liability and equity instruments issued by the Company were classified as financial liabilities or equity according to the substance of the contract agreement and the definition of financial liabilities & equity instruments.

2) Equity instruments

The “equity instruments” refers to any contract that recognizes the remaining equity of an enterprise after the assets are deducted from all its liabilities. The equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the price obtained after deducting the direct issue cost.

3) Financial liabilities

In case of financial liabilities that were not held for trading purposes and were not designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss, such financial liabilities were measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting period.

4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company did not derecognize financial liabilities until the obligations were lifted, cancelled or lapsed. When financial liabilities were derecognized, the difference between their carrying amount and total consideration paid or payable (including any transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) was recognized into profit or loss.

257

5) Inter-offset of financial assets and liabilities

The financial assets and financial liabilities were not offset against each other and expressed in net in balance sheet until there was a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amount of financial assets and liabilities with an intention to deliver on a net basis or achieve assets and liquidate liabilities at the same time.

  • (24) Share capital & treasury stocks

1) Share capital

Common shares were classified as equity. The classification of preferred shares refers to the definition of substantial contractual agreement, financial liabilities and equity instruments, and evaluates the specific rights attached to preferred shares. When the basic characteristics of financial liabilities were exhibited, they were classified as liabilities; otherwise they would be an equity. The net of increase in costs directly attributable to issuance of new share or share warrants after deducting income tax is recorded as the deduction of share prices.

2) Treasury stocks

The Company withdrew the issued outstanding shares and recognized them as "treasury stocks" based on the consideration paid at the time of purchase (including direct attributable costs) as a deduction of equity. Where the price of the disposal of treasury stocks is higher than the carrying amount, the difference was listed as capital surplus-treasury stocks transactions. Where the disposal price is lower than the carrying amount, the difference is offset against the asset surplus generated by the exchange of the same type of treasury stocks. In case of a shortfall, the surplus is debited in the retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury stocks is taken weighted average and calculated separately according to the reason for recovery.

When treasury stocks are cancelled, the capital reserve is debited according to the proportion of equity - share certificates issuance premium and share capital, where the carrying amount is higher than the face value and the total value of the stock issuance premium, the difference would be offset against the capital generated by the exchange of the same type of treasury stocks. In case of a shortfall, it would be offset against the retained earnings. Where the carrying amount is lower than the face value and the total of the stock issuance premium, the capital reserve generated by the same type of treasury stocks exchanges would be credited.

Where subsidiary held the Company's stocks using the equity method to recognize the share of profit and loss and prepare financial statements, the subsidiary's stocks of the Company should be dealt with as treasury stocks.

  • (25) Shares-based payment

  • 1) The shares-based payment agreement upon equity settlement was pursuant to the employee service acquired at fair value of the given equity commodities on the given day, and was recognized as compensation costs during the vesting period, and the equity was relatively adjusted. The fair value of equity commodities should be reflected with the influence of the market price vested conditions and the non-vested conditions. The recognized compensation cost was adjusted according to the expected amount of incentive rewards that meet the service condition and the non-market price vested condition until the final recognition amount was recognized in the vested amount.

258

  • 2) The shares-based payment agreement settled in cash was based on the fair value of the liabilities assumed, recognized as compensation costs and liabilities within the vesting period, and was based on the fair value of the equity commodities given on each balance sheet date and settlement date to measure, any change recognized as profit or loss of the current year.

  • (26) Income tax

  • 1) The income tax expenses comprise current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the income tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

  • 2) The Company calculates the income tax payable for the current term exactly in accordance with the tax rates that had been enacted or substantially enacted in the countries for the income tax as of the balance sheet date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable relevant laws of income tax, and under the fact of situations, the income tax liabilities estimated shall be paid to tax collection authority. The undistributed earnings having been consolidated were charged for the income tax. The income tax expense of undistributed earnings was recognized based on the actual distribution of the earning as resolved in the shareholders’ meeting in the year ensuing the year in which the earnings were yielded.

  • 3) Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the balance sheets. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted as of the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  • 4) Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

  • 5) Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • 6) The Company's tax incentives oriented expenditures that comply with the

259

statutory incentives were accounted with use of income tax deduction accounting. The unused income tax credit was transferred into the latter period of time within the scope as the credit ready for future use, duly recognized deferred income tax assets.

  • 7) The difference between the previous year's estimated income tax of the Company and the adjustment difference approved by the tax collection authority was recognized as the adjustment items of the income tax of the current year.

  • (27) Recognition of revenues

After identifying the performance obligations under a customer contract, the Company distributed the transaction price to each performance obligation and recognized revenue when the performance obligations were fulfilled.

  • 1) Sales revenues

  • A. All products manufactured by the Company and sold into the market were recognized as revenue when the control over the product was transferred to the customers. To put it in more understandable terms, when the products were delivered to the customers, the customers have discretion on the channel and price of product sales, and the Company was not in any outstanding performance obligations that might affect the customers’ acceptance of the products. When the products were shipped to a designated location, the risk of obsolescence and loss has been transferred to the customers and the customers would accept the products according to the sales contract. The delivery of the products did not occur until there was objective evidence to prove all standards/criteria for acceptance have been met.

  • B. Where the Company provides standard warranty on the products sold and is obliged to refund for defective products, the provisions were recognized at the moment of sales.

  • C. Accounts receivable were recognized at the moment when the goods were delivered to the customers. At that timepoint, the Company was entitled to the unconditional rights to the contract price and the price could be received from the customers only after the time elapsed. The advance receipts before the arrival of the products was recognized as a contract liability.

  • D. The control of the ownership of the processed products was not transferred upon processing of the materials so that the income was not recognized when the material was forwarded.

2) Refund liabilities

Sales and labor service revenues were recognized at the contract price net of estimated discounts and other similar discounts. The amounts recognized as revenues would be limited to the portion of the future height that was unlikely to undergo a major turnaround, and was included in each asset estimates updated on the balance sheet date. Sales and labor service estimated discounts payable to customers and other similar discounts as of the balance sheet date were recognized as refund liabilities.

3) Financing component

Under the contracts signed by and between the Company and the customers, the collection conditions of the sales and labor service transactions were consistent

260

with the market practice. It was, therefore, judged that the contracts did not contain a significant financing component. In addition, the time interval for transferring the promised goods or labor services and receiving the consideration amidst the contracts was within one year. The significant financing component would not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of the currency.

  • 4) Costs to acquire contracts from customers

Although the incremental costs incurred by the Company in obtaining a customer contract were expected to be recoverable, the relevant contract period was shorter than one year. These costs were, therefore, recognized as current operating costs or expenses at the moment of occurrence.

(28) Government grants

Government grants are recognized at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. If it is intended for the purpose of providing immediate financial support to the Company and there is no future related cost, it got the profit or loss recognized during the period when such could be received. Such government grants related to property, plant and equipment were recognized as noncurrent liabilities, and were recognized as current profit or loss using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of the relevant assets.

5. Major sources leading to material accounting judgments, estimates and assumption uncertainties

The results of the Company’s individual financial statements would be affected by the adoption of accounting policies, accounting estimates and assumptions. Therefore, when the Company adopted the significant accounting policies under Note 4, the acquisition of assets from other sources would result in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next information on significant adjustment risks in the individual financial statements that would require management to use appropriate professional judgment, estimates and assumption uncertainties. The Company’s estimates and relevant assumptions were based on the optimal estimates pursuant to the requirements of IFRS endorsed and issued to take effect by the FSC. Estimates and assumptions would be based on historical experience and other factors considered to be relevant, but actual results and estimates might differ. The Company continues to review the estimates and assumptions. Where the revision of the estimate would only affect the current year, the accounting estimate would be recognized in the current year. Where the estimation affects both the current year and the future period, then it would be recognized in the estimated and amended current year and future period.

  • (1) Major judgments to adopt accounting policies

In addition to an involvement in judgments related to and estimates (see (2) below), the management’s judgments in the process of adopting accounting policies that have the most significant impact on the recognized amounts of the financial statements are as follows:

  • 1) Judgment of business model of financial asset classification

The Company evaluates the business model of financial assets based on the level of financial assets that are jointly managed to achieve a specific business purpose. This evaluation calls for consideration of all relevant evidence, including asset performance measurement methods, risks affecting performance,

261

and the salary determination method of relevant managers, salary determination method where the judgment was required. The Company continuously assesses whether its business model judgment is appropriate, and monitors the financial assets carried at amortized cost and investment in debts instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income to look into the reasons for its disposition to assess whether the disposition would be consistent with the business model's objectives. Whenever the business model was found to have changed, the Company would postpone the adjustment of the subsequent classification of financial assets.

  • 2) Commitment to operating lease - the Company is the Lessor

The Company has signed commercial property agreements toward some property portfolios. Based on its evaluation of the agreed terms, the Company still retains significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and treats these leases as operating leases.

3) Leased term

In determining the lease term of the leased assets, the Company takes into account all relevant facts and circumstances that might generate economic incentives to exercise (or not to exercise) the option, including all facts and circumstances from the start of the lease to the day when the option is exercised with expected changes. The main factors taken into account include the contract terms and conditions during the period covered within the option, significant lease interest improvements during the contract period, and the importance of the underlying assets to the lessee's operations and the like. Significant changes in such matters or circumstances within the control of the Company when it occurred while the Company reassessed the lease term anew.

(2) Major accounting estimation & assumptions

The accounting estimates conducted by the Company were based on the reasonable expectations of future events on the grounds of the situation on a specific day, but the actual results might differ from the estimates, and the assets and liabilities of the next financial year might have significant adjustments to the risk of carrying amount and assumptions. Please note the following instructions:

1) Estimated impairment of financial assets

The impairment of accounts receivable and contract assets was estimated based on the Company's assumptions about the default rate and the expected loss rate. The Company took into account historical experience, current market conditions and forward-looking information to work out assumptions and select input values for impairment assessment. For more details regarding the important assumptions and input values please refer to Note 6(4). In the event that the actual future cash flow is below expected, it might cause significant impairment losses. The carrying amount of the Company’s receivables was NT$1,566,344 thousand and NT$1,402,091 thousand, respectively as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,

2) Evaluation of inventory

Since inventory should be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company shall use judgment and estimation to decide the net realizable value at the balance sheet date. Due to the rapid changes of the industrial environment, the Company assesses the amount of inventory on the balance sheet date that has undergone normal wear and tear, obsolescence or no market

262

sales value, and will mark down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. This assessment of inventories primarily uses product need within a certain period in the future as the basis of estimation, and thus material changes could occur. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying amount of the Company's inventories was NT$844,761 thousand and NT$1,342,132 thousand, respectively. (After deducting loss on allowance for obsolescence and market price decline of inventories of NT$1,490 thousand and NT$11,775 thousand, respectively)

3) Fair value measurement and evaluation process

Where the assets and liabilities measured at fair value were not quoted in the active market, the Company would decide whether to outsource the valuation and determine the appropriate fair value technology according to relevant laws or judgments. Where the fair value was estimated, the level 1 input value could not be obtained for the value, the Company would refer to the analysis of the financial status and operating results of the investee, the latest transaction price, the quote of the same equity instrument in the non-active market, the quote of similar instruments in the active market, and the comparable company evaluation multiplier to determine the input value. If the actual changes in future input values and expectations would differ, fair value changes might occur. The Company regularly updated each input value according to market conditions to monitor whether fair value measurement was appropriate. For more details regarding the fair value evaluation techniques and input value, please refer to the descriptions of Note 12(4). As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company's holdings of unlisted (OTC) company stocks and limited partnership investments showed the carrying amounts of NT$87,018 thousand and NT$87,541 thousand, respectively.

4) Evaluation on impairment of investment accounted for using the equity method

Whenever there was an indication of impairment that an investment accounted for using the equity method might have been impaired while the carrying amount could not be recovered, the Company immediately assessed the impairment of the investment. The Company assessed the impairment based on the discounted value of the expected future cash flow of the investee or cash dividends receivable to be expected and disposal of the discounted value of future cash flows from the investment to assess the recoverable amount and analyze the reasonableness of its related assumptions. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the investment impairment recognized by the Company in equity method came to NT$15,155 thousand and NT$0 respectively.

5) Assessment onto the impairment of tangible assets

In the process of asset impairment assessment, the Company was required to rely on subjective judgment and asset usage patterns and industry characteristics to determine the independent cash flow of a particular asset Company, years of useful life, the future revenue and expenses that might be cause significant impairment in the future due to economic condition changes or estimated changes caused by strategies. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the accumulated impairment of tangible assets recognized by the Company was NT$41,200 thousand and NT$40,700 thousand, respectively.

6) Realizability of deferred income tax assets

Deferred income tax assets were recognized when there is a possibility in the future that there would be sufficient taxable income for the purpose of deducting

263

temporary differences. Upon assessment of the realizability of deferred income tax assets, significant accounting judgments and estimations of the management must be involved including expected future sales revenue growth and profit margins, usable income tax credits, tax planning and other assumptions. Any changes in the global economic environment, industrial environment and changes in laws and regulations might cause significant adjustment of deferred income tax assets. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the deferred income tax assets recognized by the Company were NT$29,421 thousand and NT$35,210 thousand, respectively. The deferred income tax assets not recognized by the Company due to non-probable taxable income were NT$686 thousand for both.

7) Calculation of long-term employee benefits liabilities

Upon calculation of the present value of the benefit obligations, the Company must use judgments and estimates to determine the relevant actuarial hypotheses on the balance sheet date, including the discount rate and future salary growth rate. Any changes in actuarial assumptions should significantly affect the Company’s amount of defined benefit obligations. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-term employee benefits liabilities (including net defined benefit liabilities and provisions - noncurrent) were NT$47,269 thousand and NT$56,285 thousand, respectively.

8) Lessee's incremental loan interest rate

When determining the interest rate of the lessees' incremental loan used for discounting lease payments, the Company used the risk-free interest rate of the equivalent duration and currency as the reference interest rate, and discounted the estimated lessee's credit risk allowance and lease specific adjustments (e.g., asset characteristics and factors such as guarantees) to be taken into account.

The expected credit loss rate of the Company's aforementioned account aging intervals (excluding abnormal amounts which should be recorded at 100%): Not overdue and overdue within 30 days 0%, 31 to 90 days overdue 5%, 91 to 180 days overdue 30%, 181 days to 365 days overdue 50%, more than 365 days overdue 100%.

The Company's accounts receivable not overdue were expected to have a very low risk of credit loss; For other accounts receivable which had been overdue as of the balance sheet date, the Company has taken into account other credit enhancement protection, post-period collection, and deductions and the like. After reasonable and corroborable information, it is assessed that there was no significant change in its credit quality, and the credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. Therefore, the management of the Company expects that no credit loss of accounts receivable will be caused by default of transaction counterparties. As the amount of impairment loss according to the expected credit loss ration is not significant, the allowance for loss is not adjusted.

  • 2) The Company adopted the simplified method of IFRS 9, and recognized the expected credit loss during the existence in the accounts receivable allowance loss. The expected credit loss during the existence was calculated using the reserve matrix, with consideration of the customers’ past default record and historical experience of collection, increase in delayed payments beyond the average credit period, and at the same time with consideration of the current financial status of customers, and observable national or regional industrial economic situation changes related to the arrears of receivables and future prospects such as outlook considerations. As the Company’s historical experience of credit losses indicates that there would be no significant differences in the loss patterns of different customer bases, the preparation matrix did not further distinguish the customer bases, only the accounts receivable days past due and actual conditions would determine the expected credit loss rate. The Company did not hold any collateral for these accounts receivable.

If there was evidence indicating that the counterparty was facing serious financial difficulties and the Company could not reasonably anticipate the recoverable amount, the Company would recognize 100% allowance loss or directly write off the related accounts receivable, but would, meanwhile, continue to recourse the activities due to the amount recovered and recognized in profit or loss.

  • 3) Analysis of changes in allowance loss for accounts receivable (including related parties): Nil

  • 4) The Company’s accounts receivable (including related parties) have not been used for collateral, pledge.

3) Major lease events and clauses

A. The subject assets leased by the Company include buildings & constructions and machinery equipment, and the like. At the end of the lease term, the Company held no preferential acquisition rights for the

275

leased target assets, and some leases were attached to lease term renewal right after expiration. The lease agreement was negotiated individually and contained various terms and conditions. Assets other than leases should not be used as loan collateral, and it was agreed that unless with the consent of the lessor, the Company should not sublet or transfer the Subject Premises either in whole or in part. Except these facts, the lease agreement was free of any other restrictions.

  • B. Option to prolong the lease

The part of the Subject Premises covered within the Company's lease agreement includes the extension option entitled to the Company. Under the general practice for the lease agreement, the Company was bestowed with the maximum possible operating flexibility and effective use of assets. While the Company resolved to enter into the lease term, the Company already took into account all the facts and circumstances that will result in the economic incentives generated from the exercise of extension option. Therefore, upon the estimation for the exercise of extension option, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the right-of-use assets increased by NT$25,791 thousand and NT$22,181 thousand, respectively and the lease liabilities increased by NT$26,067 thousand and NT$22,290 thousand, respectively.

  • C. Impact of variable lease payments on lease liabilities

In the Company's lease agreement, the variable lease payment terms are subject to storage/usage link. The variable payment depends on the actual use of the underlying assets. The variable payment terms are used for many reasons, mainly for profit control and operating flexibility to minimize fixed costs. The changes in storage/usage of lease payments are recognized as expenses during the period that triggers these payment terms.

4) Sublet: Nil

5) Other lease related information

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized rental income of NT$324 thousand and NT$302 thousand respectively based on operating lease agreements. Among them, there was no income from variable lease payments.

  • 6) The present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations of the Company was actuarially counted by a qualified actuary. The main assumptions of the actuarial evaluation on the measurement date are as follows:
follows:
Items
Discount rate
Future salary growth rate
Year Ended
December 31, 2020
0.375%
1.75% - 2.00%
Year Ended
December 31, 2019
0.625% - 0.750%
1.75% - 2.00%

The assumption of future mortality rate is estimated based on the fifth life experience table of life insurance industry in Taiwan.

  • 7) Because changes in the main actuarial assumption used, the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations is affected. The analysis was as follows:

  • A. Interest rate risks

The decline in the interest rate of government bonds would increase the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations, but the returns on debt investment of the plan assets would also increase accordingly. The both two would have a partial offset effect on other long-term employee benefits liabilities.

  • B. Salary related risks

The calculation of the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations refers to the future salary of the plan members. Therefore, the increase in the salary of plan members would increase the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations.

  • 8) In the event that the significant actuarial assumptions were subject to a combination of possible changes, and if other assumptions remained unchanged, the amount of increase (decrease) in present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations would be as follows:
Items Discount rate Discount rate Future salary growth rate Future salary growth rate

$ 225 $ 135 ($ 130)

($ 170)
$ 176 $ 90 ($ 88)

Practically, since actuarial assumptions might relate to each other, it would be unlikely to have a single assumption in change. The aforementioned sensitivity analysis, therefore, might not reflect the actual change in the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations. In addition, in the aforementioned sensitivity analysis, the present value of other long-term employee benefits obligations at the end date of the reporting period would be based on the actuarial calculation of the projected unit credit method and the defined benefit liabilities included in the balance sheet would be measured on the same basis. The method assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis in the current year was exactly same as that used in the prior one.

  • 1) Defined benefit plans

  • A. In accordance with the “Labor Standards Act”, the Company has established retirement methods to define benefits. Under the “Labor Pension Act” applicable on July 1, 2005, the service seniority accumulated by employees prior to enforcement of the “Labor Pension Act” and subsequently accumulated by employees who chose subject to “Labor Standards Act” after enforcement of the “Labor Pension Act” as entitled to retirement would be taken to count pension which would be calculated number of years in the service seniority accumulated and the salary amounts averaged in the six (6) months prior to retirement. Each year of service seniority accumulated in full within fifteen (15) years (inclusive) would be entitled to two base units and each year the period of service seniority accumulated beyond fifteen years would be entitled to one base unit. The cumulative base units shall not exceed the maximum limit of 45 base units. The Company attributed retirement funds on a monthly basis to the specified ratio (currently about 3%) of total salary, and deposited the funds in the bank account designated for pension fund opened with the Bank of Taiwan under the name of the Labor Retirement Reserve Supervision Committee. Besides, in response to the retirement needs of senior managers, the Company set up the “Manager’s Retirement Fund Management Committee” in September 2004 and attributed on a monthly basis for a certain ratio (currently 40%) of the total salary of managers into the management of the Manager’s Retirement Fund Management Committee and deposited in a special account of a financial institution opened in the name of the Manager’s Retirement Reserve Fund. The Company estimates the balance of the retirement fund mentioned in the preceding item before the end of each year. In the event that the balance is found not enough to pay off the pension amount calculated according to the foregoing for the employees who meet the retirement requirements in the next year, the Company would make up the difference in a lump-sum before the end of March of the following year.

The relevant utilization was under supervision by the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee. In the utilization of the Fund, the minimum gain distributed amidst final account settlement in every fiscal year should not be lower than the income calculated by the local banks’ two-year fixed term deposit interest rate. The shortfall, if any, should be supplemented by the national treasury after approval by the competent authority. Where the Company was not entitled to participate in the operation and management of the fund, the Company could not classify the plan assets at the fair value disclosed under IAS 19 Paragraph 142. For more details of the fair value of the total assets of the Fund as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, please refer to reports of the Labor Pension Fund Utilization promulgated by the government in the respective years.

  • 6) The unrecognized deferred income tax liabilities related to investment

The temporary difference related to investment in subsidiaries, while the Company could control the very timepoint of reversal of that temporary difference and was very likely not to dispose and reverse within the foreseeable future, the Company did not recognize the deferred income tax liabilities. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the aggregate total amounts of the temporary differences of investment in subsidiaries which had not been recognized for the deferred income tax liabilities amounted to NT$1,790,995 thousand and NT$1,242,618 thousand, respectively.

  • 7) The Company’s income tax returns through 2018 has been assessed and approved by the tax authority.

  • 8) Where the distribution of earnings for Year 2021 to be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting remains uncertain, the undistributed earnings added with the very outcome of the potential income tax in Year 2020 could not be determined in a reliable way.

(37) Earnings per share (EPS)

The basic earnings per share (EPS) of the Company was calculated by dividing the current year's net profit (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding; the shares added by undistributed earnings or capital reserve conversion to capital increase in cash, then with retroactive adjustment calculation.

If the Company was entitled to the option to distribute compensation to employee in stocks or cash, then upon calculating the diluted earnings per share (EPS), it was assumed that the compensation to employee would be distributed by stocks and would be included in the weighted average number of outstanding shares when the potential common stocks were entitled to dilution effect so as to calculate the diluted earnings per share (EPS). When calculating the diluted earnings per share (EPS) before the resolution of distributing compensation to employee in the following year, the Company also continues to take into account the dilution effect of these potential common shares.

During the implementation of the financial plan, the Company must comply with the relevant financial operation procedures for overall financial risk management and division of powers and responsibilities.

  • 3) The attribute and level of significant financial risks

  • A. Market risks

Here at the Company, the market risk has notably been the risk in financial instruments' fair value or cash flow fluctuations due to changes in market prices. Such market risks mainly include exchange rate risks, interest rate risks and price risks.

 Exchange rate risks

The Company's business involves certain non-functional currencies (the functional currency of the Company has been the New Taiwan Dollars so it is subject to exchange rate fluctuations impact. Information on foreign currency assets and liabilities with significant exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Note: The foreign currency related non-monetary assets measured at the historical exchange rate on the transaction date have not been disclosed because they have no significant impact

303

on the individual financial statements.

Here at the Company, the sensitivity analysis on the exchange rate risks mainly focuses on the major foreign currency monetary items and non-monetary items at the end of the financial statement period, and the related foreign currency appreciation/depreciation impact on the Company's profit and loss as well as equity. Where the exchange rates for foreign currencies was appreciated/depreciated by 1%, the net profit after tax for the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would increase/decrease at NT$13,537 thousand and NT$7,717 thousand, respectively while the equity would increase/decrease by NT$145,646 thousand and NT$92,127 thousand, respectively.

The unrealized exchange profit (loss) of monetary items in foreign currency of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was NT$1,638 thousand and (NT$15,450), thousand respectively, as affected by the fluctuation of USD and CNY exchange rate.

 Interest rate risks

The interest rate related risks refers to the risks of financial instruments' fair value or future cash flow fluctuations due to changes in market interest rates. The Company's interest rate risks mainly come from floating rate in loans where some of the risks would be held with floating rates through cash & cash equivalents offset. Where the Company regularly assesses the trend of interest rate changes and responds to it, it is not expected that there would be a significant risk of market interest rate changes. If the borrowing interest rate increases/decreases by 10 basis points and all other factors remain unchanged, the Company’s net profit after tax for the year ended December 31, 2010 would decrease/increase by NT$267 thousand and 0, respectively.

 Price risks

The investment held by the Company as shown through the balance sheet has been primarily classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and financial assets at fair values through other comprehensive income. The Company has been, therefore, exposed to pricing risks of equity instruments. In an effort to manage the pricing risks of equity instruments, the Company virtually diversifies its investment portfolio in a manner that was based on the limits set by the Company. The Company has invested in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income with the price of financial instruments such as profit or loss affected by the uncertainty of the future value of the investment target. If the price of such financial instruments rises/falls by 1% where all other factors remain unchanged, the net profit after tax of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would increase/decrease by NT$0 and NT$232 thousand, respectively and the equity would increase/decrease by NT$2,851 thousand and NT$2,948 thousand, respectively.

304

B. Credit risks

Credit risks refer to such risks in financial losses incurred in an event where a customer of the Company or financial instrument transaction counterparty fails to perform the contract. The credit risks of the Company primarily resulted from operating activities (primarily as accounts & notes receivable) and financial activities (primarily as bank deposits and a variety of financial instruments). The credit risks related to business operation and financial credit risks have been managed respectively.

  • Credit risks related to business operation

The business department faithfully complies with the Company's customer credit risk policies, procedures and controls to manage customer credit risk. The credit risks assessment of all customers is a comprehensive consideration such as the financial status of the customers, the rating of the credit rating agency, past historical transaction experience, the current economic environment and the internal rating criteria of the Company. In addition, the Company also uses certain credit enhancement instruments (such as payments collected in advance, etc.) at appropriate times to minimize the credit risk of specific customers.

 Financial credit risks

Here at the Company, the Finance Department manages credit risks of bank deposits and other financial instruments in accordance with company policies. Since the Company’s transaction objects have been determined by internal control procedures as banks with good credit and an investment grade and above in the forms of institutions, company organizations. Where all such entities prove free of major performance doubts, there have been no major credit risks upon the Company.

 Information of credit-related risks in accounts receivable

The Company adopted the assumption provided under IFRS 9. As the payment was more than 30 days overdue from schedule in the provision of contracts, the financial asset was deemed to have significantly increased in credit risks from the initial recognition. In an event where a contract payment was more than 365 days overdue or where the loanee would be highly unlikely to fulfill the credit obligations to pay amount in full to the Company, the Company deemed that financial asset in default.

In an effort to minimize credit risks, the management of the Company would assign the special team to assume the responsibility to determine the facility of credit extension, approve of credit extension or other supervisory procedures with actions to be taken as appropriate to assure successful retrieval of receivables. Besides, on the balance sheet date, the Company would, on one-by-one basis, recheck the reclaimable amounts of receivables to assure that appropriate allowance would have been provided against the potential loss. For facts of changes regarding aging analysis of accounts receivables and allowance loss, please see Note 6(3) & (4).

305

The credit risk of the Company focuses on the Top 10 sales customers of the Company. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the ratios of the above-mentioned customers in the total amount of accounts receivable (including related parties) were 49.88% and 47.08%, respectively.

 Exposure to credit risks

The Company has been well known for the sound quality of credit standing with financial institutions and has tried to profoundly diversify potential credit risks with multiple financial institutions. As natural result, the Company has seen very low potential default. Besides, the Company has been in transactions with only third parties of very fine credit standing and would grant credit lines toward customers exactly based on the credit facility procedures. Meanwhile, with continued efforts to look into customers’ credit standing and with evaluation of the possibility to retrieve accounts receivable on a regular basis, the Company has amortized adequate allowance against loss. The management has, therefore, firmly believed that the Company’s receivables would not have been significantly concentrated in the credit risks. As of the balance sheet date in terms of cash & cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets, the maximum possible exposure to credit risks would be exactly the carrying amounts of such financial assets.

C. Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk refers to the risk that the position could not be settled as expected. The Company mainly used financial institutions to use loans, and cash & cash equivalents and other instruments to adjust funds, and achieve the goal of flexible use of funds and stable funds. The share capital and working capital of the Company were sufficient to meet all contract obligations, so there would be no liquidity risk due to the inability to raise funds to fulfill contract obligations.

The table below summarizes the Company's non-derivative financial liabilities, grouped by the relevant maturity date based on the earliest possible date of repayment and compiled with its undiscounted cash flow. The Company did not expect that the time when the cash flow of the analysis of the due date occurred would be significantly earlier or the actual amount would be significantly different. The interest cash flow paid at floating interest rates, the undiscounted interest amount derived based on the yield curve on the balance sheet date which was the amount of floating interest rate instrument of a non-derivative financial liability. The amount of the floating interest rate instrument would change

306

according to the different interest rate and the estimated interest rate on the balance sheet date. For more details regarding the analysis of the due date of lease liabilities, please see Note 6-12-(2) to B.

  • (4) Information of fair value

  • 1) Fair value hierarchy

The evaluation technique used to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments divided the fair value into Level 1 to Level 3 based on the observable degrees. Each fair value hierarchy was defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Referring to the public quotation (unadjusted) from the same asset or liability in the active market.

  • Level 2: In addition to the public quotation of the Level 1, the fair value is derived using observable input parameters that belong to the asset or liability directly (i.e., the price) or indirectly (i.e., derived from price).

  • Level 3: Referring to the input parameters (non-observable parameters) of the valuation techniques for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data to derive fair value.

  • 2) Financial instruments not measured at fair values

The Company's financial instruments not measured at fair values (including cash & cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, other financial assets - current, short-term loans, accounts payable (including related parties), other payables and the like) refer to rational approximate values in the carrying amounts at fair values. Where refundable deposits and guarantee deposits received would not be subject to significant impact in the cash flow discounting, their carrying amounts should be the very rational grounds to estimate the fair values. The long-term loan contracts bore an agreed floating interest rate. Since the floating interest rates were mostly close to the market interest rates, the discounted value of its expected cash flow is used to estimate its fair value to approximate its book value.

  • 3) As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 for financial and non-financial instruments at fair values were classified by the Company based on the attributes, characteristics, risks and fair value hierarchy, with the relevant information as

  • 4) Evaluation technology and assumptions adopted to measure fair values:

The fair values of the financial and non-financial instruments refer to the amounts of current transaction of the said instruments with the interested counterparties (instead of mandatory means or liquidation). Here at the Company, the methods and assumptions used for the financial and non-financial instruments to measure the fair values are as follows:

  • A. In case of financial instruments with standard terms and conditions and traded in the active market, the fair value was determined by referring to the market quotation. The listed stocks were counted based on the closing price as fair values, the unlisted (OTC) emerging stocks were counted based on the transaction price as the fair value. Mutual fund beneficiary certificates were counted based on net worth as fair values.

  • B. For financial instruments with higher complexity, the Company measured the fair value based on the evaluation model developed using evaluation method and technology which were widely used between the fellow traders. Some of the parameters used in such evaluation models were not market observable information. The Company must make appropriate estimates based on assumptions. The Company's unlisted stocks on OTC held by the Company (excluding the emerging stocks that were traded in the active market) were counted based on the market approach or the asset approach to estimate the fair value. The judgment was conducted with reference to the same type company evaluation, third-party quotation, the Company's net worth and business performance. In addition, the significant non-observable input value was mainly current discount. For more details regarding the impact of non-market observable parameters on the evaluation of financial instruments please see Note 12(4)-10.

308

  • C. The output of the evaluation model was the approximate value of the estimate and the evaluation technology might not reflect all relevant factors of the Company’s holding of financial instruments and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value of the evaluation model would be appropriately adjusted according to additional parameters, e.g., the model risk or liquidity risk. According to the Company’s fair value evaluation model management policy and related control procedures, the management believes that the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial instruments as shown in the balance sheet should be expressed in a fair way. The evaluation adjustment is appropriate and essential. The price information and parameters used in the evaluation process have been carefully evaluated and appropriately adjusted according to the current market conditions.

  • D. The Company took credit risks evaluation adjustment into consideration of calculation in fair value of the financial instruments and non-financial instruments to respectively reflect the credit risk of the transaction counterparties and credit quality of the Company.

  • 7) Facts of outward transfer from Grade III and inward transfer into Grade III for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

During the period starting for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company's original holding of emerging stocks not listed onto TSE(OTC) was terminated from transaction in emerging stocks on August 20, 2020. This resulted in a lack of sufficient observable market information. Accordingly, on the date such very fact took place, the Company transferred the fair value from the first level to the third level.

  • 8) The Company's evaluation process for the fair value classified in the level 3 was the independent fair value verification of financial instruments conducted by the Company's Financial Department in collaboration with an outsourced professional evaluation agency. The independent sources of data were used to bring the evaluation results closer to the market status as independent, reliable, and other resources consistent with and represent the executable price, and regularly update the required input values and data, and any other necessary fair value adjustments to ensure that the evaluation results would be rational.

(5) Extra disclosure of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19):

Affected by the global pandemic of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), the Company's sales volume of various products plummeted sharply, resulting in a decrease in consolidated revenue of approximately 23% in 2020 compared to the same period last year. In response to the impact of the pandemic, the Company has taken the following countermeasures:

310

  • 1) Adjustment of business operation strategies:

The panic of the global economic recession leads to a decline in oil demand in conjunction with the decline in oil prices as well. In an effort to avoid major losses due to fluctuation in the market, production and sales operators need to be extremely cautious in reducing inventories. They should put further effort to expand the replacement of superior prices in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions to realize the sustainable operation of the Company, Only with such sophisticated countermeasures could we assure a certain amount of production and sales and maintain profitability amidst the volatile markets.

2) Financing strategies:

Given the impact of the epidemic on the economy, we shall strive to balance production and sales to minimize the pressure of excessive inventory funds and shall, temporarily, adopt various austerity policies for entertainment, with use of private vehicles for public purposes and phone bills so as to economize operating expenses and stabilize the financial structure.

  • 3) Government bailout measures:

Here at the Company, we have successively applied to the government for various subsidies in working capital and salary and applied for abatement in electricity and water bills. During the period for the year ended December 31, 2020, a total of NT$23,234 thousand of pandemic subsidy income and NT$4,363 thousand of electricity and water fee abatement were recognized.

In the Company, we have taken the potential economic impact upon the pandemic into consideration of major accounting estimates based on the information available as of the balance sheet date. In Taiwan, domestic epidemic has slowed down and the government has gradually untiled controls and restrictions. Throughout the world, nevertheless, lots of countries are still adopting lockdown management. The global economic situation continues to shrink leading to a significant change in consumption patterns. The timing of the Company's return to normal operations remains uncertain. As the epidemic slows down and policies are loosened, the Company expects to gradually restore the business operation to a normal manner.

  • Note 1: The consolidated operating costs decreased by NT$4.4 billion or approx. 24% from the prior year, primarily due to a reduction by the parent company Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corporation by NT$3.8 billion, a reduction by the subsidiary QuanZhou Grand Pacific Chemical Co., Ltd. by NT$400 million and by the subsidiary Videoland Inc. by NT$400 million. As a result, consolidated gross profits increased by about NT$500 million or approx.18%. The consolidated operating income went up by 28%.

  • Note 2: Non-operating revenues and expenditures increased by NT$2 billion or approx. 144% from the prior year, primarily due to an increase of recognized profit/loss of subsidiaries under the equity method by NT$1.9 billion (mainly with an increase of NT$1.7 billion recognized for Land & Sea Capital Corp. (BVI) compared to prior year).

  • Note 3: Due primarily to the facts that the comprehensive net operating profit increased by NT$400 million from the prior year, the comprehensive non-operating revenues and expenditures increased by NT$2 billion over the prior year. As a result, the consolidated comprehensive net profit before tax increased by NT$2.4 billion, approximately 86% from the prior year.

Note 5
  • Note 1: This was primarily due to drastic decline of selling prices for all products year-over-year. The average selling prices of SM/ABS/nylon dropped 25%/5%/30%. Net revenues decreased by NT$3.7 billion or approx. 23% from the previous period. The cost of major raw materials also fell year-over-year, most noticeably the cost of hexamethylene diamine down by 50%. Operating cost decreased by NT$3.8 billion or approx. 26% compared with the prior year. Gross profits increased by NT$100 million or 8%, and gross margin posted a 33% growth at 12% for the period (vs. 9% in the prior year). Net gross profits and operating profits went up by 7% and 2%, respectively from the prior year.

  • Note 2: With the difference between the unit selling prices toward affiliated enterprises and the costs of the year, leading to NT$ 4.27 million unrealized selling profit and in the prior year, the already realized selling profits came to NT$320,000.

  • Note 3: Non-operating revenues and expenditures increased by NT$2 billion or approx. 144% from the prior year, primarily due to an increase of recognized profit/loss of subsidiaries under the equity method by NT$2 billion (mainly with an increase of NT$1.7 billion recognized for Land & Sea Capital Corp. (BVI) compared to prior year).

  • Note 4: Net profit before tax increased by NT$2 billion or about 83% from the prior year, primarily due to an increase of non-operating revenues and expenditures by NT$2 billion compared to prior year.

  • Note 5: Net profit after tax increased by NT$2 billion or about 98% from the prior year, primarily due to an increase of non-operating revenues and expenditures by NT$2 billion compared to prior year.

  • (1) Changes in exchange rate

In 2020, the loss in foreign exchange by Grand Pacific and its subsidiaries accounted for 0.19% of the net operating revenues and 0.63% of the net profit before tax, primarily due to appreciation of New Taiwan Dollars in 2020. Overall in the Group, the revenues and expenditures in foreign exchange were balanced. The Group would, nevertheless, still continually evaluate potential risks in foreign exchange and execute contracts for forward foreign exchanges as the actual requirements may justify so as to evade potential risks in foreign currencies.

  • (2) Changes in interest rates:

As of December 31, 2020, Grand Pacific and its subsidiaries had raised some bank loans within the credit facilities. The Group, nevertheless, maintains very close connection ties with the bank, ready for a potential need. Besides, the Group has set up multiple channels to raise working capitals to minimize the averaged capital costs. In 2020, the total interest expense came to NT$7.711 million, accounting for merely 0.05% of the net operating revenues and 0.15% of the net profit before tax.

  • (3) Currency inflation:

The commodity price statistical report revealed by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) of Executive Yuan indicates that the consumer commodity price index counted with Year 2016 as the base (100) got the average commodity price index at 102.31 in 2020 and at 102.55 in 2019, with a slight down.

In Taiwan in 2020, the commodity prices recorded a stable state. The Company's business operation was unaffected by inflation of currency.

  1. Countermeasures in the future

  2. (1) Here in the Company, the Financial Dept. has maintained very sound and close ties with the foreign exchange departments in all banks and collected updates linked up

329

with changes in foreign exchanges all the time to firmly dominate the trends and updates of foreign exchanges in domestic markets with continued efforts to evaluate foreign exchange related risks. As necessary, the Financial Dept. would execute forward foreign exchange contracts in an attempt to evade potential risks in exchange rates.

  • (2) Other than close ties and efforts maintained with banks to obtain most optimal possible interest rates, further through multiple channels, the Company has tried to raise working capitals to minimize average operating costs.

  • (3) Slow inflation is a sign of healthy economic growth. At the present time, the Company is in easy transfer for operating costs and the Company's products is relatively profitable as quite beneficial to the Company. On the other hand, nevertheless, in case of a rapid inflation, the consumers tend to be discouraged from consumption with difficulty to pass on the costs as unfavorable to the Company. At the present time, the company does not need at all to formulate measures to cope with inflation.

  • (II) The policies on high-risk, highly leveraged investments, fund lending with others, endorsement guarantees and derivatives trading, the main reasons for profit or loss and the future response measures

  • In 2020, the Company did not at all engage in derivative financial instruments and such high risk, high leverage transactions.

  • In 2020 in the Company, KK Enterprise Co., Ltd. rendered endorsement/guarantee toward its subsidiary KK Enterprise (Malaysia) Co., Ltd. with facts as enumerated below:

(IV) The potential impact from a change in important domestic and international policies and laws upon the Company's financial business and the countermeasures thereof:

As always, the Company is closely watchful of political & economic updates, enactment of major policies and changes in laws. As the actual requirements may justify, the Company assigns dedicated personnel to accept educational & training programs both in-house and outsourced ones. In entire 2020, there was not significant change in at home and abroad

330

policies or legal affairs that might have a significant impact upon the Company.

  • (V) The impact of technological changes and industrial changes upon the Company's financial business and the countermeasures

The Company has been closely watching the changes and updates of relevant business lines and assigned dedicated personnel into evaluation and study to look into the potential impact upon the Company's in future development, financial conditions and business operation, and the relevant countermeasures which should be taken: In most recent year, there has not been significant technical changes that might have unfavorable impact upon the Company in financial conditions and business operation.
