Jourdeness Group Limited and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Jourdeness Group Limited

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Jourdeness Group Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China on February 25, 2020, and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. We conducted our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

  • 1 -

Key audit matters in the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:

- Impairment Assessment of Other Intangible Assets Customer Relationship and Goodwill

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included customer relationship (classified as other intangible assets) of NT$775,134 thousand and goodwill of NT$522,188 thousand, for a total amount of NT$1,297,322 thousand, which represented 20% of total assets in the consolidated financial statements. The intangible assets of customer relationship and goodwill both resulting from the acquisition of assets and existing operations of beauty stores in mainland China, Taiwan and Malaysia for expanding the cosmetology services and the scale of Group’s operations. In accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, management assesses whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss at the balance sheet date. Determining whether those assets are impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which those assets have been allocated, and the assumptions suffer from high uncertainty since they are subject to management’s judgments and affected by economic trends. Therefore, the impairment assessment of intangible assets was identified as one of the key audit matters.

Refer to Notes 4, 5, 15, 16 and 29 to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies, critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty and details of the information about the impairment of intangible assets of customer relationship and goodwill.

The audit procedures performed in response to the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We understood and assessed the reasonableness of the identification for impairment of those assets by management.

  2. We evaluated the professional qualification, competency and independence of independent valuers engaged by the management.

  3. We understood the process and basis for the estimation of sales growth rate and profit margin with regard to the future operating prospects of the asset’s cash-generating units.

  4. We consulted our internal experts to assess the reasonableness and appropriateness of assumptions and methods used in the impairment test report provided by the independent valuers.

Revenue Recognition of Beauty and Body Spa Course Services

As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of the contract liabilities - current was NT$1,831,738 thousand, which represented 41% of total liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the revenue from beauty and body spa course services amounted to NT$1,596,852 thousand, which represented 49% of net revenue in the consolidated financial statements. The Group’s management recognized revenue arising from beauty and body spa course services based on independent actuarial reports. The assumptions of actuarial analyses were made according to the Group’s historical service experience, and the percentage of expected redemption rate of deferred courses was calculated as the number of courses actually rendered to customers relative to the number of courses expected to be rendered to customers, excluding the courses that had incurred refund liability during the effective period. Such underlying assumptions are subject to management’s objective judgments and estimates which are highly uncertain. Therefore, the revenue recognition of beauty and body spa course services was identified as one of the key audit matters.

  • 2 -

Refer to Notes 4, 5, 20 and 24 to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies, critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty, and details of the information about the recognition of revenue from beauty and body spa course services.

The audit procedures performed in response to the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We evaluated the professional qualifications, competency and independence of the independent actuaries engaged by the management.

  2. We understood and sample tested the accuracy and completeness of the data used by management in performing actuarial analyses of the expected redemption rate of deferred courses.

  3. We compared the methodologies and significant assumptions, including expected redemption rate and expected aggregate redemption rate of deferred courses, with specific historical data of the Group in order to assess the reasonableness of management’s judgments.

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

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

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

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

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

  • 3 -

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation preludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

JOURDENESS GROUP LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Jourdeness Group Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in Cayman Islands in June 2010. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) are mainly engaged in the beauty and body spa business (except medical cosmetology), manufacturing and sale of cosmetics, business management and consulting services.

The Company’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since October 21, 2015.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency, the New Taiwan dollar.

2. APPROVAL OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s board of directors on March 26, 2020.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

  • a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRIC (IFRIC), and Interpretations of SIC (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)

Except for the following, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

  • IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessee and lessor. It supersedes IAS 17 “Leases”, IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease”, and a number of related interpretations. Refer to Note 4 for information relating to the relevant accounting policies.

Definition of a lease

The Group elects to apply the guidance of IFRS 16 in determining whether contracts are, or contain, a lease only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are not reassessed and are accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.

  • 12 -

The Group as lessee

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value asset and short-term leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group presents the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities are classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion are classified within operating activities. Prior to the application of IFRS 16, payments under operating lease contracts were recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Prepaid lease payments for land use rights in mainland China were recognized as prepayments for leases. Cash flows for operating leases were classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Group elected to apply IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Comparative information was not restated.

Lease liabilities were recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments. The Group applies IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.

The Group expects to apply the following practical expedients:

  • a) The Group applies a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.

  • b) The Group accounts for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.

  • c) The Group excludes initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.

  • d) The Group uses hindsight, such as in determining lease terms, to measure lease liabilities.

The lessee’s weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized on January 1, 2019 was 4.62%. The difference between the (i) lease liabilities recognized and (ii) operating lease commitments disclosed under IAS 17 on December 31, 2018 is explained as follows:

The future minimum lease payments of non-cancellable operating lease
commitments on December 31, 2018

Less: Recognition exemption for short-term leases

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

  • b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit assets/liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • 2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.

  • c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  • 1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • 3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

  • 1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, and

  • 3) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

  • 15 -

d. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e., its subsidiaries). When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

Refer to Note 11, Table 7 and Table 8 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).

e. Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as they are incurred.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

f. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income; in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Company and its foreign operations (including subsidiaries in other countries that use currencies which are different from the currency of the Company) are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

g. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at the weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

  • 16 -

h. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. If a lease term is shorter than the assets’ useful lives, such assets are depreciated over the lease term. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

  • i. Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rental and/or for capital appreciation. Beginning January 1, 2019, investment properties include right-of-use assets and properties if the definition of investment properties is met; before January 1, 2019, investment properties included properties if the definition of investment properties was met. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Beginning January 1, 2019, investment properties acquired through leases were initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made on or before the commencement date, plus initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, less any lease incentives received. These investment properties are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.

Except for freehold land which is not depreciated, the depreciation of all investment properties are recognized using the straight-line method.

For a transfer of classification from right-of-use assets to investment properties, the deemed cost of an item of property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount.

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.

  • j. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is measured at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as “cash-generating units”) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

  • 17 -

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then pro rata to the other assets of the unit based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. Any impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the entity disposes of an operation within that unit, the goodwill associated with the operation which is disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal and is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

  • k. Intangible assets

  • 1) Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

  • 2) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

  • 3) Derecognition of intangible assets

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

  • l. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 18 -

m. Financial instruments

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

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

  • a) Measurement categories

Financial assets are classified into the following categories:

  • i. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any dividends or interest earned on such financial assets are recognized in other income; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 31.

  • ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

  • i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

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

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable at amortized cost, trade receivables and other receivables, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 19 -

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:

  • i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and

  • ii) Financial assets that are not credit impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.

A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred:

  • i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

  • ii) Breach of contract, such as a default;

  • iii) It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or

  • iv) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

  • b) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables).

The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

For internal credit risk management purposes, the Group determines that the following situations indicate that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Group):

  • i. Internal or external information show that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.

  • ii. When a financial asset is more than specific days past due unless the Group has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.

  • 20 -

The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

  • c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

3) Financial liabilities

  • a) Subsequent measurement

Except for the following situations, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method:

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when such financial liabilities are held for trading.

Financial liabilities held for trading are stated at fair value, and any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial liabilities are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 31.

  • b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) Convertible bonds

The component parts of compound instruments (i.e., convertible bonds) issued by the Group are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

  • 21 -

On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or upon the instrument’s maturity date. Any embedded derivative liability is measured at fair value.

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised; in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premiums. When the conversion option remains unexercised at maturity, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premiums.

Transaction costs that relate to the issuance of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component.

n. Revenue recognition

The Group identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

  • 1) Revenue from the sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of beauty cosmetics. The main channels of distribution are franchise, directly-managed stores and internet. Sales of beauty cosmetics are recognized as revenue when the goods are delivered to the customer’s specific location. Before the goods are delivered to the customer, the transaction price received is recognized as a contract liability. When the goods have been delivered to the customer, the advance receipts is recognized as revenue.

  • 2) Revenue from the rendering of services

The services revenue comes from beauty and body spa course services, and the Group provides beauty and body spa course services and charges for various courses. At the time of sale, the total amount of income from the beauty and body spa courses will be based on the ratio of number of courses in which customers actually attended to the overall number of courses, advanced receipts are recognized as a contract liability, then reclassified as revenue when services have been provided. At the end of each reporting period, the Group’s management recognized and adjusted beauty and body spa course services revenue based on the actuarial analyses of the Group’s historical service experience and the percentage of expected redemption rate of deferred courses was calculated as the number of courses actually rendered to customers relative to the number of courses expected to be rendered to customers, excluding the courses that had incurred refund liability during the effective period.

  • o. Leasing

2019

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

1) The Group as lessor

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

  • 22 -

When the Group subleases a right-of-use asset, the sublease is classified by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. However, if the head lease is a short-term lease that the Group, as a lessee, has accounted for applying recognition exemption, the sublease is classified as an operating lease.

Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.

2) The Group as lessee

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

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

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

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

2018

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

  • 1) The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

  • 2) The Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • 23 -

p. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other than that which is stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

  • q. Employee benefits

  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.

2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost), and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

r. Share-based payment arrangements

Restricted shares for employees granted to employees

The fair value at the grant date of the restricted shares for employees is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s best estimates of the number of shares or options that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in other equity - unearned employee benefits. It is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date if vested immediately.

When restricted shares for employees are issued, other equity - unearned employee benefits is recognized on the grant date, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - restricted shares for employees.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of restricted shares for employees expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expenses reflect the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - restricted shares for employees.

  • 24 -

s. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

3) Current and deferred taxes for the year

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity; in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

  • a. Beauty and body course services revenue recognition

In principle, the total amount for the total number of the beauty and body spa course advanced receipt from customer is recognized as a contract liability, then reclassified as revenue when service is provided. At the end of each reporting period, the Group needs judgment to assess the assumptions of the actuarial analyses, including the percentage of expected redemption rate of deferred courses calculated as the number of courses actually rendered to customers relative to the number of courses expected to be rendered to customers, excluding the courses that have incurred refund liability during the effective period, in order to adjust the revenue recognized.

  • b. Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The calculation of the value in use requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating units and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

  • c. Impairment of tangible assets and intangible assets other than goodwill

In assessing the impairment of tangible assets and intangible assets, management evaluates the cash flows and profit or loss of specific group of assets based on management’s objective judgment and industry characteristic. When there are changes in the economic trends or corporate strategies, a material impairment loss may arise.

  • d. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rates

In determining a lessee’s incremental borrowing rate used in discounting lease payments, a risk-free rate for the same currency and relevant duration is selected as a reference rate, and the lessee’s credit spread adjustments and lease specific adjustments (such as asset type, secured position, etc.) are also taken into account.

The retail sales of the Group to individual consumers were usually settled through cash and credit card. Trade receivables mainly consist of payments due from banks for credit cards. The average credit period of sales of goods for other trade receivables was 90-180 days, and no interest was charged on trade receivables.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to the past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecasted direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base.

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix.

(Concluded)

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group is exposed to the following risks:

  • 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic or foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate of a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

  • 2) Interest risk: A decrease in government and corporate bond interest rates will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plans’ debt investments.

  • 3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated with reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salaries of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

Discount rates
Expected rates of salary increase
December 31
2019
2018
0.75%
1.00%
2.00%
2.00%
  • 43 -

If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions were to occur and all other assumptions were to remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

Discount rates
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease
Expected rates of salary increase
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in the assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The shareholders of the Company held their regular meeting on June 25, 2019 and in that meeting, resolved the amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”). Under the dividends policy as set forth in the amended Articles, as the Company continues to grow and undertakes capital expenditure projects and business expansion, and for a sound financial planning of sustainable development, the Company may distribute dividends to shareholders in the form of cash and/or bonus shares. Shares may be distributed in lieu of the cash amount of any dividend according to the Company’s future expenditure budgets and funding needs. The issue of bonus shares is subject to the resolution of shareholders in their meeting for review and approval. The payment of cash dividend is subject to the resolution of the board of directors in their meeting for review and approval.

Unless otherwise provided in the Applicable Listing Rules, the net profit of the Company for each annual financial year shall be allocated in the following order and proposed by the board of directors to the shareholders in the general meeting for approval:

  • 1) To make provision of the applicable amount of income tax pursuant to applicable tax laws and regulations;

  • 2) To set off accumulated losses of previous years (if any);

  • 3) To set aside ten percent (10%) as legal reserve pursuant to the Applicable listing rules unless the accumulated amount of such legal reserve equals to the total paid-up capital of the Company;

  • 4) To set aside an amount as special reserve pursuant to the Applicable Listing Rules and requirements of the commission; and;

  • 45 -

  • 5) With respect to the earnings available for distribution (i.e., the net profit after the deduction of the items (1) to (4) above plus any previously undistributed cumulative retained earnings), the board of directors may present a proposal to distribute to the shareholders by way of dividends at the annual general meeting for approval pursuant to the Applicable Listing Rules. Dividends may be distributed in the form of cash dividends and/or bonus shares, the Group authorized the distribution of whole or a part of the distributable dividends and bonuses may be paid in cash at a meeting of the board of directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors; and in addition thereto a report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting. According to Cayman Islands laws, the amount of dividends shall be at least ten percent (10%) of net profit after the deduction of items (1) to (4) above. Cash dividends shall comprise a minimum of ten percent (10%) and a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) of the total dividends allocated to shareholders.

Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Articles before the amendments, unless otherwise provided in the Applicable Listing Rules, the net profits of the Company for each annual financial year shall be allocated in the following order and proposed by the board of directors to the shareholders in the general meeting for approval:

  • 1) To make provision of the applicable amount of income tax pursuant to applicable tax laws and regulations;

  • 2) To set off accumulated losses of previous years (if any);

  • 3) To set aside ten percent (10%) as legal reserve pursuant to the Applicable listing rules unless the accumulated amount of such legal reserve equals to the total paid-up capital of the Company;

  • 4) To set aside an amount as special reserve pursuant to the Applicable Listing Rules and requirements of the commission; and;

  • 5) With respect to the earnings available for distribution (i.e., the net profit after the deduction of the items (1) to (4) above plus any previously undistributed cumulative retained earnings), the board of directors may present a proposal to distribute to the shareholders by way of dividends at the annual general meeting for approval pursuant to the Applicable Listing Rules. Dividends may be distributed in the form of cash dividends and/or bonus shares, and, subject to Cayman Islands law, the amount of dividends shall be at least ten percent (10%) of the net profit after the deduction of the items (1) to (4) above. Cash dividends shall comprise a minimum of ten percent (10%) and a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) of the total dividends allocated to shareholders.

For the policies on the distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors after the amendment, refer to employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors in Note 25-f.

An appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Items referred to under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC should be appropriated to or reversed from a special reserve by the Company.

In 2017, the applicable corporate income tax rate used by the group entities in the ROC was 17%. However, the Income Tax Act in the ROC was amended in 2018, and the corporate income tax rate was adjusted from 17% to 20%, effective in 2018. In addition, the rate of the corporate surtax applicable to the 2018 unappropriated earnings has been reduced from 10% to 5%.

In July 2019, the President of the ROC announced the amendments to the Statute for Industrial Innovation, which stipulate that the amounts of unappropriated earnings in 2018 and thereafter that are reinvested in the construction or purchase of certain assets or technologies are allowed as deduction when computing the income tax on unappropriated earnings. The Group had already deducted the amount of capital expenditure from the unappropriated earnings in 2018 that was reinvested when calculating the tax on unappropriated earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

The goodwill recognized in the acquisitions of beauty salons in 2019 and 2018 mainly represents the acquisition premium, consisting of customer relationship and net liabilities due from advance receipts included in the cost of the combinations. Acquisition premium included amounts attributed to the benefits of expected synergies, revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforces. Except for the recognition of customer relationship as other intangible assets, these benefits are not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

d. Impact of acquisitions on the results of the Group

The results of the acquirees since the acquisition date included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income were as follows:

Had these business combinations been in effect at the beginning of the annual reporting period, the Group’s revenue from continuing operations would have been $30,991 thousand and $67,157 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively; the profit from continuing operations would have been $8,610 thousand and $8,651 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This pro-forma information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily an indication of the revenue and results of operations of the Group that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2019 and 2018, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

In determining the pro-forma revenue and profit of the Group had beauty salons been acquired at the beginning of the current reporting period, the management calculated net assets acquired on the basis of the fair values at the initial accounting for the business combination rather than the carrying amounts recognized in the respective pre-acquisition financial statements.

30. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

In order to set out the appropriate capital structure, the Group manages its capital based on the industry scale, the growth of market and the development of products for determining an appropriate market share, and considers the working capital, business benefits and cash flow generated from the competitive products.

Except as stated above, the management of the Group believes the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values or their fair values cannot be reliably measured.

  • 2) The balances include financial liabilities at amortized cost, which comprise short-term loans, notes payable, trade payables, other payables (including related parties), refundable deposits, bonds payable and long-term loans.

  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The operations of the Group are affected by several financial risks, the risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management policy is focused on unpredictable events in the financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.

The risk management work is carried out by the financial management function of the Group in accordance with the policies approved by the board of directors. The Group’s financial management function is responsible for identifying, assessing and evading financial risks by working closely with the Group’s operation management function.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the market risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

  • a) Foreign currency risk

The Group is a multinational corporation, which exposed it to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (the main currencies are U.S. dollars and RMB). The relevant foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions, financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and net investments in the foreign operation institutions.

The Group holds investments from a number of foreign operating institutions resulting in foreign currency risk on net assets.

The Group’s operations are transacted in several non-functional currencies (the functional currencies of the Company and subsidiaries include the NTD, RMB and MYR), therefore, the Group is affected by the volatility of exchange rates. The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 36.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group’s sensitivity analysis mainly focuses on the foreign currency risk of U.S. dollars at the end of the reporting period. Assuming a 3% strengthening/weakening of the functional currency against U.S. dollars, the net income before tax for the year ended December 31, 2019 would have increased/decreased by $310 thousand; the net income before tax for the year ended December 31, 2018 would have increased/decreased by $896 thousand.

In management’s opinion, sensitivity analysis was unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period did not reflect the exposure during the period.

  • 60 -

b) Interest rate risk

The Group was exposed to fair value and cash flow interest rate risk because the Group held both fixed and floating interest rate financial assets and financial liabilities. The Group’s management monitors fluctuations in market interest rate regularly. If it is needed, the management will perform necessary procedures to control significant interest rate risks from fluctuations in market interest rates.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets
Financial liabilities
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets
Financial liabilities

1,735,827
719,327
986,533
989,106
76,449
478,323

The Group’s sensitivity analysis is based on the floating interest rates financial assets and financial liabilities at the end of the reporting period. If interest rates had been 0.5% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the net income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would increase/decrease by $4,550 thousand and $2,554 thousand, respectively.

2) Credit risk

  • a) Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group is required to manage and analyze the credit risk for each of its new customers before granting the payment terms and the delivery conditions in accordance with the internal credit policy. For internal risk control, the Group assesses the credit quality of customers by considering their financial status, past experience and other factors. The limitations of individual risk are set by the board of directors based on internal or external credit ratings and regular monitoring of the use of credit lines.

  • b) There were no excess credit lines for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the management did not expect any significant losses due to the counterparty default on its contractual obligations.

  • c) The Group transacts with a large number of unrelated customers and, thus, no concentration of credit risk was observed. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposit in banks and trade receivables from customers. In addition, the credit risk is not high because the counterparty of liquidity is the bank with a high credit rating granted by the rating agency.

  • d) The Group only deals with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss. The Group monitors the exposure at default and the credit ratings of its counterparties continuously.

  • 61 -

  • 3) Liquidity risk

  • a) The Group’s financial control center aggregates the cash flow forecasting performed by each operating entity and monitors the forecast of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient funds to meet operational needs.

  • b) The remaining cash held by each operating entity is invested in demand deposits and marketable securities when it exceeds the management of working capital. The selected instruments have appropriate maturity dates or sufficient liquidity to meet the above forecast and provide sufficient water level.

  • c) The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

  • a. Subsidiary Jourdeness International entrusts the credit bank to process the collection and payment from the credit card holder’s account. Since the service provided by Jourdeness International is of a pre-receipt nature, the failure of Jourdeness International to satisfy performance obligations will cause losses on the credit card bank. Therefore, Jourdeness International has agreed to provide time deposit as collateral to obtain credit line with credit bank, and the guaranteed amount is $76,000 thousand. In addition, Jourdeness International signed an agreement with National Credit Card Center of the ROC and agreed to obtain a comprehensive credit line by pledging buildings and land as collateral. The credit bank issues a performance statement with a guarantee amount of $350,000 thousand which is the guarantee for the credit card losses caused by Jourdeness International’s promise to pay for the bank’s default.

  • b. For the purpose of strengthening the protection of consumer rights by Jourdeness International, in addition to the original performance bond, the “Guarantee Trust Deed Agreement” was approved by Jourdeness International’s board of directors on August 28, 2015. The agreement states that Jourdeness International needs to consider the liquidity and the enhancement of the guarantee reserve rate, and be responsible for trust management through the trust management bank, as well as 30% of the advance receipts which are based on the Jourdeness International’s recent audit report deducted by the performance bond as a guarantee reserve have to be remitted to the trust account.

35. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia in January 2020 caused Jourdeness (Guangzhou) Cosmetics Co., Ltd. to temporarily suspend its operations in Wuhan, Hubei Province, Guangzhou, Guangdong, and other regions with severe epidemic situation. Because the stores of Jourdeness (Guangzhou) Cosmetics Co. were concentrated in severely affected areas, its operations would be significantly affected. As of the release date of this consolidated financial statements, 143 stores had resumed operations, which accounted for approximately 80% of direct retail stores in mainland China. Since the Group was unable to assess the situation of epidemic control, it could not reasonably estimate the extent to which the operations and overall industry of Jourdeness (Guangzhou) Cosmetics Co., Ltd. had been affected by the epidemic.
