Chapter 1. Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Facing the harsh situation of extreme volatility of the financial market and stagnation of economic activities from the outbreak of COVID-19 at the beginning of 2020, numerous countries launched large-scale incentive financial and monetary policies in succession; the global economy was depressed and overseas market demand was weak, which lasted until the second half of the year when the economy recovered slowly. The global easing of monetary policy also gave rise to the price hike of raw material, which furthermore drove the price of domestic main bulk construction materials (including steel bars, concrete, and formwork) to go up. In addition, semiconductor companies continued to invest in advanced process, while technology companies continued to invest in supply chains in Taiwan; both actions caused the overall domestic construction cost to gradually increase, and some of the real estate developers reduced project quantity and veered toward land development and commercial offices. In addition, the government bolstered public construction investment by the means of "expanding, increasing, and speeding up." The policy aims to drive industrial innovation and development, as well as revive the economy and creating employment on the basis of balancing regional infrastructure over the country. All these actions are expected to contribute to the growth of domestic investment. Generally speaking, the construction industry is expected to continue to expand into the public and private sectors, driven by the government’s construction policies and the trend of increasing capital expenditure within the industry.
In addition to the continuous support from leading benchmark clients in the technology industry, the Company's business in 2020 achieved a new record of operating revenue with the active promotion of projects such as the most advantageous tender for public construction projects and the most advantageous tender for contracting, etc. In addition to maintaining a stable scale of operation in the future, the Company will continue to invest in innovative materials, technologies and construction methods to improve the performance and operating profit.
-
I. Operating Results for 2020 Items included in the consolidated operating revenue in 2020 include construction revenues and non-operating income, totaling NT$14.161 billion, with a growth of 23.2% compared with that of 2019. Among them, the proportion of construction revenues is based on the progress of construction and steady investment to achieve the goal of stable revenue scale. The total of consolidated operating expenses for 2020 is NT$13.379 billion, including construction costs, operating expenses, and non-operating expenses, with a growth of 21.69% compared with that of 2019. Apart from the fact that the construction costs increase as the scale of the construction increases, as for operating expenses, the increase in employee welfare expenses due to the increase in operating income and the number of employees and the increase in expenses (e.g. operation demand) are all major reasons for the increase in operating expenses from the previous period.
-
Upon the increase of single scale and total performance of projects the Company undertook and scheduled receipt of funds (e.g. advance payment) as per contract and supplementation of working capital, in 2020, the consolidated net cash inflow from operating activities was NT$1.986 billion and consolidated net cash outflow from investment and financing activities was NT$404 million, realizing a net inflow of NT$1.582 billion compared with cash flow of 2019. In 2020, the return on assets (ROA) was 7.10%, return on equity (ROE) was 21.65% and consolidated earnings per share (EPR) was NT$ 5.91. All those reflect the operation result is better than that of 2019.
-
II. Annual Business Plan for 2021
-
With the goal to undertake high-tech content and high-value-added project bids, the Company adopted the strategies of diversified contracting and medium and long-term business layout and accelerated the development of intelligent construction technology. In 2021, our business will mainly focus on the needs such as hi-tech plant expansion and increase and development of
-

government’s track economy, which is in favor of the layout of short and medium-term bid stocks and future performance kinetic energy. Our management team will maintain the Company’s brand and goodwill by creating the mode of mutual benefit and cooperative development and try to develop towards the goal that construction project becomes our leading and sustainable business.
As of February 2021, there are 21 on-going projects, ten residential and commercial office building projects including Kindom Wenhua and Kindom Roosevelt, three civil projects (C712A bid, C212 bid, and C611 bid), and 11 indicative construction and construction of hightech plants including the turnkey project Taipei Veterans General Hospital, the first phase of Kaohsiung Municipal Feng-Shan Hospital, the turnkey project of reconstruction of Nanmen Market, the turnkey project of Taoyuan Convention and Exhibition Center and TSMC F18P6 FAB, with the total amount of NT$ 44 billion or so.
Kedge Construction responded to the short-term scheduling impact of workers and materials through the policies such as purchase flexibility and contract awarding split. In light of the fact that bid evaluation and commencement of works tend to be cautious and conservative, the Company, besides finishing the existing projects, tried to win the bids of building, road and bridge projects with highly competitive advantages, expanded the project resources of rail, tunnel and cutting-edge technology plant, so as to create new performance and improved our value.
III. The Effect of External Competition Environment, the Legal Environment, and the Overall Business Environment
The COVID-19 pandemic continued to spread all over the world. Countries in the world were forced to take such measures as “lockdown” and “quarantine”, which severely affect economic activities. In response to the unprecedented large scale of fiscal, monetary and regulatory measures introduced by various countries in response to the pandemic, although the global economic forecasts have moderated in terms of levels of recession, the global economic growth in 2021 is expected to rebound, but the forecast remains highly uncertain, as the economic performance depends on the subsequent actions of every government to put the pandemic under control. Trade tensions among major economies may slow down the pace of recovery; the shortterm economy is expected to rebound strongly, but the medium-term debt burden has inhibited economic growth and the impact of trade stagnation will also continue.
Due to the continuous growth of long-distance business opportunities in Taiwan due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the continuous expansion of emerging technology applications such as 5G communications, automotive electronics, and high-performance computing, domestic semiconductor manufacturers continue to invest in advanced manufacturing processes, and domestic and foreign technology industry manufacturers continue to increase their investment in the supply chain in Taiwan. In addition, the return of Taiwanese businessmen and the continued investment of foreign businessmen in Taiwan have helped boost domestic investment momentum. In addition, driven by the abundant funds in the domestic market, coupled with the strong demand from life insurance companies and the government's monetary rewards of urban renewal projects, the real estate development volume in seven metropolitan areas in Taiwan has increased by almost 10% over the previous year. The real estate market is expected to return to owner-occupied demand in 2021, and whether the impact of the suppression of flipping properties from the government will defer the willingness of buying properties is still waiting to be seen.
In respect of public engineering projects, the total budget plus special budget for 2021 amounted to NT$534 billion, which is an increase of NT$96.2 billion, approximately 22%, as compared to that of 2020. The budget is in line with the priority of the government policy, as the total budget for public infrastructure investment will fund the projects such as MRT systems, highways, national highways and bridge construction and improvement projects, railway elevation projects, public sewage treatment plants treating reclaimed water and industrial innovation projects. These infrastructure projects will balance regional infrastructure

construction and guiding industrial upgrading through appropriate and effective public investment, and help drive private investment and industrial development.
In respect of the raw materials for construction, although the increase in investment from domestic and international enterprises as well as the high willingness of private investment have boosted the construction projects of office buildings and factories, the increase in international crude oil and steel prices, and the shortage of the supply of concrete materials has not yet been solved. It is also necessary to prepare for problems such as redistribution of budgets for public engineering projects, difficulties of dispatch of labor and raw materials, as well as extreme climate. Kedge Construction has a complete supply chain. The Company will continue to pay attention to the follow-up changes of the pandemic, and conduct flexible procurement and adjust the construction schedule accordingly to ensure the on-time delivery, cost and quality of projects, and to create a win-win and mutually beneficial high-quality project with the owners and suppliers.
In regard to the labor market, domestic students are reluctant to engage in the construction industry, resulting in an age gap and long-term labor shortage, which will affect the operating cost, construction quality and project progress. Due to the enthusiasm of the real estate market, the return of Taiwanese businessmen, the large-scale construction of new factories by technology factories, and the continued release of government investment projects, the construction manpower is in shortage. Under the impact of the pandemic, the problem of labor shortage will become even more serious. Kedge Construction values labor relations and regards every colleague as an important partner. The Company builds the growing foundation of human resources through three strategies: attracting, nurturing and retaining talents, including making efforts to create a friendly working environment, planning a comprehensive education and training system, encouraging staff to self-develop and enhance their professional skills, so as to nurturing talent and reinforcing the synergy of Kedge Construction.
IV. Future Development
Focused on the intelligent technology and innovative application development by building leading business and deepening core competitiveness, Kedge Construction will try to achieve our blueprint goal of sustainable strategy, advance steadily based on the four business polices such as "strengthening corporate governance," "implementing internal control system," "integrating group resources" and "participating in social public welfare," and build the sustainable strategy blueprint through "green homeland," "smart city" and "happy society;" decrease the impact of buildings on environment by means of innovative technology, undertake the social responsibility of caring local and weak groups continuously and develop towards the goal of sustainability; perform responsibilities of enterprise and shareholder and create a better future.
With a focus on the business idea of “honesty, quality, service, innovation and sustainability,” Kedge Construction has highlighted practical operation and developed business comprehensively; introduced more modern, delicate and information-based construction method systematically and integrated and improved construction management process with technical tools, so as to make sure the unified purchase resources for key material are allocated, to give play to the occasions of price restraint by quantity and judgment; construction item contract awarding is flexibly integrated and analyzed in order to master contractor’s resources and conform to the requirements for construction period; innovation method is continuously improved and developed, so as to provide higher-value services for owner and lead contractor to improve technology.
Wishing you all Good health and good luck.
Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. Chairman Ai-Wei Yuan

(II) Industrial Overview:
-
The Current Status and Development of the Industry: The COVID-19 pandemic continued to spread all over the world. Countries in the world were forced to take such measures as “lockdown” and “quarantine”. Economic activities have almost come to a standstill, interpersonal communication has been reduced to a minimum, and people’s lives have been severely affected. In response to the COVID19 pandemic, countries have introduced unprecedented large-scale fiscal, monetary, and regulatory measures. By the second half of 2020, the global economic recession was
-
86 -
expected to ease compared to the first half of the year. However, it is still full of risks for global economic activities to return to pre-pandemic levels.
Although global economic growth is expected to rebound in 2021, there are still great uncertainties in the forecast, depending on the subsequent pandemic control of the situation in each countries. The “Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development” (OECD) report pointed out that as long as the vaccine can effectively control the spread of COVID-19, the global economy will continue to grow moderately, but the service industry, which is more affected, will still make the job market sluggish. The international trade tensions may slow down the pace of recovery. The “International Monetary Fund” (IMF WEO) explained that due to the huge fiscal expenditures of each countries, although the economic deterioration has been reduced and the short-term economy has rebounded strongly, the medium-term debt burden has inhibited economic growth and the impact of trade stagnation will also continue.
Due to the continuous growth of long-distance business opportunities in Taiwan due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the continuous expansion of emerging technology applications such as 5G communications, automotive electronics, and high-performance computing, domestic semiconductor manufacturers continue to invest in advanced manufacturing processes, and domestic and foreign technology industry manufacturers continue to increase their investment in the supply chain in Taiwan. In addition, the return of Taiwanese businessmen and the continued investment of foreign businessmen in Taiwan have helped boost domestic investment momentum. Regarding the construction industry, although domestic and foreign investment in Taiwan has increased, private investment has heated up, which has promoted commercial and factory offices, we must also be cautious about issues such as redistribution of public project budgets, tight schedules of labor and materials, and extreme weather due to the rise in international crude oil and steel prices, and the insufficient supply of concrete materials has not yet been resolved. Therefore, manufacturers still view future prosperity in a fair manner.
In the future, the government’s “Expansion, Increase, and Acceleration” of public construction investment and the balanced regional infrastructure will promote industrial innovation and development, revitalize the economy and create employment, and help domestic investment growth. Also, the active promotion of the most favorable bids for public works bids and the most favorable bids for turnkey projects and introduction of innovative materials, technologies and construction methods will boast industrial R&D and technological upgrading.
A. Residential Engineering
Both the stock market and the real estate market have achieved good results in 2020. Due to factors such as proper control of the COVID-19 pandemic, the return of
- 87 -
Taiwanese businessmen, the expansion of technology industries, ample market capital, active life insurance, and more rewards, real estate transaction market has warmed up and the housing market has achieved dazzling results. In 2020, the construction value of various construction projects for the whole year was NT$799.31 billion, an increase of 8.0% compared with that in 2019. In terms of annual direct construction project revenue, residential projects (31.1%) were the highest. The total number of construction projects in the seven metropolitan areas in 2020 was more than 1.6 trillion, an increase of nearly 10% over the previous year. Even if the Central Bank launched the crackdown on real estate speculation in December, the confidence in housing purchases was temporarily impacted. However, under the support of self-occupation and rigid demand, housing market transactions are still stable. This year’s housing market is expected to return to selfuse demand, it remains to be seen whether the crackdown on real estate speculation will defer the impact on buying.
- B. Public Construction
The total budget for 2021 includes NT$132.4 billion for public construction design, plus NT$104.1 billion for the special budget for forward-looking infrastructure design, and NT$297.5 billion for operating and non-operating special funds, a total of NT$534 billion, an increase of NT$96.2 billion from the previous year, and a growth rate of about 22%. In the overall budget arrangement, the current governance priorities have been prioritized. The domestic public construction investment will continue to be supported, and the regional infrastructure needs will be balanced to accumulate the national economic strength. The various constructions mainly include mass rapid transit system, highway, national highway and bridge construction and improvement projects, three-dimensional railway construction, rapid transit construction, public sewage treatment plant reclaimed water promotion and industrial innovation projects, etc. The appropriate and effective public investment guides industrial upgrading, which will be beneficial to promote private investment and industrial development.
- C. Commercial Offices and Factories
Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the mainstream investment targets (such as offices, retail, and business hotels, etc.) in the past are now facing the dual challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the adjustment of market structure. Remote work, business activities blockage, the global economy faces a sharp decline, together with the simultaneous decline of commercial real estate and land markets. However, Taiwan’s pandemic situation is well under controlled, business operations are stable in the face of adversity. Taiwanese businessmen continue to return from abroad, and the government actively assists industry players in removing investment barriers, provides policy incentives and optimizes the
- 88 -
domestic investment environment. The domestic investment of manufacturers continues to increase, and the overall private investment is relatively less disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This has resulted in tight demands for industrial real estate (including factory offices, plants, and warehouse logistics). According to statistics, the commercial real estate transaction volume reached NT$83.7 billion this year (2020), a significant increase of 47% compared with the previous year. If the industrial land of NT$39.6 billion is included, the total of the two is as high as NT$123.3 billion, breaking through the one hundred billion mark in two years and setting a new high since statistics.
Looking forward to 2021, continued investment in high-end manufacturing processes, continued implementation of Taiwanese investment plans, deployment of 5G networks by telecommunications companies, and green energy investments such as offshore wind power are accelerating. It is expected that private investment will continue to grow steadily this year and next year.

(1)Links with the upstream industries: The fluctuation of the price of building materials, the increase of the cost of professional contractors, the increase of the labor cost resulting from the labor shortage, the increase of the machine and tools cost due to the price fluctuation are all related to the construction cost of the construction industry. And the development and prosperity of the upstream industries are deeply affected by the boom of the construction industry. Therefore, the construction industry is closely related to the upstream industries.
-
(2)Links with the downstream industries: According to business source, the downstream includes the government units, public and private institutions, private construction companies and other owners, who obtain business mainly through public bidding or price comparison and bargaining, in which the main business sources are public works subject to public bidding by government agencies and construction commissioned by private construction companies. Therefore, the industry boom mainly depends on the government's promotion of public works policies and the impact of the prosperity of the construction industry.
-

Description of increase or decrease:
Due to the large amount of money involved in the contracted works and the construction period of 1 to 3 years, the construction industry is characterized by the fact that the construction will be concentrated on certain customers during a certain period when the total contract amount of some projects is large and the completion ratio is used to calculate the sales volume. However, all the projects of the merged company are obtained through bidding or negotiation, and the major customers change with the construction and completion of the project. Therefore, in the medium to long term, the merged company shall be free from the risk of concentrated sales in the general manufacturing industry.

| Reasons for changes over 20% in financial ratios in the most recent 2 fiscal years: | |||||||
| 1. Long-term funds accounted for the ratio of property, plant and equipment, and turnover rate of property, plant and equipment: Mainly due to the addition of the Southern Office during the current period, resulting in an increase of approximately NT$21.34 million in housing equipment and approximately NT$58.56 million in other equipment. 2. Accounts receivable turnover rate and average cash collection days: Mainly due to the growth of business scale and the peak period of investment in some projects, so the operating revenue is significantly larger than the accounts receivable. 3. Return on assets, return on equity, ratio of net profit before tax to paid-in capital, net profit ratio and earnings per share: Mainly due to the substantial increase in net profit after tax with the scale of business. 4. Cash flow ratio, cash reinvestment ratio: Mainly caused by the increase of new construction volume in 2020, leading to the increase of advances from customers. Also, they are caused by the increase of net cash flow from operating activities due to recovery of the payments of the projects ended in the previous year. 5. Cash flow adequacy ratio: mainly caused by the increase in net cash flow from operating activities in the most recent 5 fiscalyears. |

Financial Structure
-
(1) Debt-to-asset ratio = total liabilities / total assets.
-
(2) Long-term funds to property, plant and equipment = (Stockholders' equity
+Noncurrent Liabilities) / Net Property, Plant and Equipment -
Solvency
-
(1) Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities.

(2) Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory - prepaid expenses) / current liabilities.
-
(3) Interest coverage ratio = net profit before tax and interest expense / interest expense of the current period.
-
Operating Ability
-
(1) Receivables (including accounts receivable and notes payable arising from business) turnover ratio = net sales / balance of average receivables of each period (including accounts receivable and notes payable arising from business).
-
(2) Average collection days = 365 / receivables turnover.
-
(3) Inventory turnover rate= cost of sales / average inventories.
-
(4) Payables (including accounts payable and notes payable arising from business) turnover ratio = net sales revenue / balance of average payables for each period (including accounts payable and notes payable arising from business).
-
(5) Average days for sale = 365 / inventory turnover rate.
-
(6) Property, plant and equipment turnover rate = net sales / average balance of net property, plant and equipment.
-
(7) Total asset turnover rate = net sales / average total assets.
-
Profitability
-
(1) Return on assets = [post-tax profit or loss + interest expense x (1 - tax rate)] / average total assets.
-
(2) Return on equity = post-tax profit or loss / average total equity.
-
(3) Net profit margin = post-tax profit or loss / net sales.
-
(4) Earnings per share = (gain or loss attributable to owners of the parent company (presented as "net profit after tax" in the parent company only financial statements) - preferred stock dividend) / weighted average number of shares outstanding. (Note 6)
-
Cash Flow
-
(1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow rising from operating activities / current liabilities.
-
(2) Net cash flow adequacy ratio = net cash flow rising from operating activities in the most recent five years / (capital expenditure + increase in inventory + cash dividend) in the most recent five years.
-
(3) Cash re-investment ratio = (net cash flow rising from operating activities – cash dividend) / (gross property, plant and equipment + long-term investment + other non current assets + working capital). (Note 7)

Leverage
-
(1) Operating leverage = (net operating revenue - changes in operating costs and expenses) / operating income.
-
(2) Degree of Financial Leverage (DFL) = operating profit / (operating profit - interest expense).

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd.:
Audit Opinion
We have audited the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (including Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for the annual period from January 1 to December 31, 2020, and 2019.
In our opinion, the aforementioned Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2020, and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the annual periods ended December 31, 2020, and 2019 in conformity with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers," as well as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and effected by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Foundation of Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Our responsibility under those standards will be further described in the section titled Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Following the code of professional ethics of accountants, the persons subject to the independence standards of our affiliated accounting firm have maintained their independence from the Kedge Group and fulfilled other responsibilities of the standards. We are convinced that we have acquired enough and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the foundation of the audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 consolidated financial statements of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries. These matters were addressed in our audit of the consolidated financial report as a whole and forming our audit opinion. We do not express a separate opinion on these matters. In our judgment, key audit matters that shall be communicated in the audit report are as follows: I.Construction Contracts
For accounting policies regarding construction contracts, please refer to Note 4 (13) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for revenue recognition. For accounting estimates and hypothetical uncertainties of estimated total contract costs for construction contracts, please refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. For details of revenue recognition, please refer to Note 6 (15) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for revenue from customer contracts.
- 128 -
Description of Key Audit Matters:
The change of the total contract price of the construction contracts, such as the addition and reduction of the construction and the price index subsidy, involves a high degree of judgment by management. The miscalculation of gross contract revenue may cause material changes in profit and loss during the financial reporting period, and therefore there are significant risks. Also, the Kedge Group recognizes the revenue and cost of contracts under construction according to the percentage of completion method, while the degree of completion is calculated based on the proportion of the incurred contract cost to the estimated total contract cost as of the financial reporting date. The total cost of the construction contracts involves a high degree of estimation and judgment of the management, and the miscalculations disclosed above may cause significant differences in the timing of recognition for profit and loss and the current financial statements. Corresponding Audit Procedures:
Our main audit procedures regarding the aforementioned key audit matters included the following:
-
Test the internal control and implementation effectiveness of the contract and collection; obtain the detail list of addition and reduction of the total contract price of each construction for the current period; randomly check the external documents such as the contract, agreement, owner's communication or site coordination meeting minutes, as well as the valuation information of each period the condition of the owner's acceptance.
-
Test and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal control system and implementation of procurement contracting and construction budgeting operations; randomly check external documents such as construction price lists, contracts, daily construction reports, invoices, and construction budgets, and check with construction budgets to verify the appropriateness of collection and accumulation of the construction type; randomly evaluate the preparation process of the construction budget of the management team and checks the pricing information of each period to calculate the percentage of completion of the construction; randomly check and execute the cut-off point test of the construction in progress for the period before and after the balance sheet date.
Other Matters
Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. has also compiled Individual Financial Statements for 2020 and 2019, and they have also received an unqualified audit opinion from our CPA for your reference.
Responsibilities of the Management and Governing Body for the Consolidated Financial Statements
It is the management's responsibility to fairly present the consolidated financial statements in compliance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations and Interpretation Announcements endorsed and released effective by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) and to sustain essential internal controls respecting the preparation of the consolidated financial statements so as to ensure that there is no material misrepresentation in the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error.
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the responsibility of management also includes the assessment of the sustainability of the Kedge Group, disclosure of relevant matters, as well as the adoption of the accounting base for continuing operations, unless the management intends to liquidate the Kedge Group or terminate the business, or there is no practicable measure other than liquidation or termination of the business.
The governing bodies of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (including the Audit
- 129 -
Committee) have the responsibility to oversee the process by which the financial statements are prepared.
Auditor's Responsibility for Auditing Consolidated Financial Statements
The purpose of our audit of the consolidated financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole contains any material untruthful expression that may lead to fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditors' report. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards will always detect the existence of any material misrepresentation in the consolidated financial statements. Misrepresentation may be due to fraud or error. It is considered to be material if the misrepresented individual amount or the aggregated total can be reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial statements.
When auditing in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, we practice professional judgment and maintains professional suspicion. We also perform the following tasks:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misrepresentation in the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error; Design and implement applicable countermeasures for the assessed risks, as well as obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as to the basis of audit opinions. Because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, untrue declaration or the override of internal control, the risk of not detecting the material misrepresentation caused by fraud is higher than that caused by the error.
-
To acquire the necessary understanding of internal control relevant to audit so as to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but its purpose is not to express opinions on the effectiveness of internal control of the Kedge Group.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by management.
-
Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclude on the appropriateness of the accounting base for continuing operations adopted by the management and whether there is a material uncertainty in the events or circumstances that may cause material doubts about the sustainability of the Kedge Group for continuing operations. If we believe that there is a material uncertainty in such events or circumstances, we shall remind the users of the consolidated financial statements to pay attention to the relevant disclosure of the consolidated financial statements in the audit report or we shall amend the audit opinion when such disclosure is inadequate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained as of the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or circumstances may result in the Kedge Group no longer having the ability to going concerned.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the consolidated financial statements fairly represent the underlying transactions and events.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence concerning the financial information of entities within the Group to express opinions on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the guidance, supervision, and implementation of the Group's audit cases, and for forming the Group's audit opinions.
The matters we communicate with the governance body include the planned audit scope and time, as well as material audit findings (including a significant lack of internal control identified in the audit process).
- 130 -
We also provide the governance body with a declaration that the persons subject to the independence standards of our affiliated accounting firm have complied with the code of professional ethics of accountants, and communicate with the governance body all relations and other matters (including relevant protective measures) that may affect the independence of CPAs.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined the key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of Kedge Group of 2020. We state such matters in the audit report unless the law or regulation does not allow public disclosure of specific matters. Or in rare circumstances, we determine not to communicate specific matters in the audit report due to the reasonable probability that the negative impact of such communication is greater than the public interest.

-
The asset is expected to be realized within its normal operating cycle, or it is intended to be sold or depleted;
-
The asset is held mainly for trading purposes;
-
The asset is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; or
-
The asset is cash or cash equivalent, but it will be used for the exchange of assets or settlement of liabilities at least 12 months after the reporting period, unless otherwise limited.
Liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities, and all other liabilities that are not current liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
The liability is expected to be settled within its normal operating cycle;
-
The liabilities held are primarily for the trading purpose;
-
The liabilities are expected to settle the obligation within 12 months after the reporting period; or

-
(5) Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposit. Cash equivalents refer to the short-term and highly liquidity investment that can be converted into quota cash at any time with little risk of value change. Time deposits are classified as cash equivalents only when they satisfy the aforementioned definition, and the purpose of holding is to meet the short-term cash commitments rather than investment or other purposes.
- (6) Financial Instruments
The accounts receivable and debt securities issued are primitively recognized at the time of generation. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are primitively recognized when the Consolidated Company became a party to the terms of the financial instrument contract.

The accounts receivable excluding material financial components are primitively measured at transaction prices.
- Financial Assets
Where the purchase or sale of financial assets is in line with conventional trading practices, the accounting treatment of all purchases and sales of financial assets classified in the same way by the Consolidated Company shall be consistently on the trade date or the settlement date.
Financial assets at the time of initial recognition are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost, equity instrument investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit and loss, or financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss. The Consolidated Company shall reclassify all the affected financial assets from the first day of the next reporting period only when changing the business model for managing financial assets.
- (1) Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost
When financial assets meet the following conditions and not designated at fair value through profit or loss, they are measured at amortized cost:
-
It refers to the holding of the financial assets under the business model for the purpose of receiving contractual cash flow.
-
The contractual terms of the financial asset generate the cash flow on a specific date, which is fully used to pay for the outstanding principal amount and interest of the principal.
Such assets are subsequently amortized by the initial amount recognized plus or minus the accumulated amortization amount calculated by the effective interest method, and the amortized cost measurement of any allowance loss is adjusted. Interest income, foreign exchange profit or loss, and impairment loss are recognized in profit and loss. When derecognition, gain or loss is recognized in profit and loss.

- (2) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income
At the time of initial recognition, the Consolidated Company may make an irrevocable choice and report the subsequent changes at the fair value of equity instrument investment not held for trading to other comprehensive income. The aforementioned choice is made on the item by item basis.
Equity instrument investors shall be measured at fair value subsequently. Dividend income (unless it clearly represents the recovery of part of the investment cost) is recognized in profit and loss. The remaining net profit or loss is recognized as other comprehensive income and is not reclassified to profit and loss.
The dividend income of equity investment shall be recognized on the date when the Consolidated Company is entitled to receive dividends (usually the exdividend date).
- (3) Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Financial assets not measured at the aforementioned amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss, including derivative financial assets. At the time of initial recognition, to eliminate or materially reduce accounting mismatches, the Consolidated Company may irrevocably designate financial assets that meet the criteria of measuring at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, and their net profit or loss (including any dividend and interest income) is recognized as profit or loss.
- (4) Impairment of Financial Assets
Regarding the financial assets measured through amortized cost (including cash and equivalent cash, financial assets measured by amortized cost, notes receivable and accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits, and other financial assets, etc.) and contract assets, the Consolidated Company shall recognize loss allowance for expected credit losses.
The loss allowance of the following financial assets are measured based on the expected credit losses amount in 12 months, and the remaining are measured based on the lifetime expected credit loss amount:
-
Determine that the debt securities have low credit risk on the reporting date; and
-
The credit risk of other debt securities and bank deposits (for example, the occurrence of default risk exceeding the expected duration of financial instruments) has not increased significantly since the initial recognition.
The loss allowance for accounts receivable and contractual assets is measured by the amount of lifetime expected credit losses.
In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Consolidated Company shall consider reasonable and verifiable information (available without excessive cost or investment), including qualitative and quantitative information, analysis based on the historical experience, credit evaluation, and prospective information.
The consolidated company considers a debt security to have low credit risk when
- 141 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of investment grade which is considered to be BBB- or higher per Standard & Poor’s, Baa3 or higher per Moody’s or twA or higher per Taiwan Ratings.Expected credit loss refers to the weighted estimate of credit loss probability during the expected duration of financial instruments. The credit loss is measured by the present value of all cash shortfall, namely the difference between the cash flow that the Consolidate Company can collect according to the contract and the expected cash flow that the Consolidate Company will receive. Expected credit loss is discounted at the effective interest rate of financial assets.
On each reporting date, the Consolidated Company assesses whether there is credit impairment on financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. When one or more events are arising that will bring unfavorable influence to expected future cash flow, there is already credit impairment to the financial asset. Evidence of credit impairment of financial assets includes observable data on the following:
-
Material financial difficulties of the borrower or the issuer;
-
Default, such as delay or overdue for more than 90 days;
-
Due to the economic or contractual reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, the Consolidated Company gives the borrower concessions that would not have been inspected;
-
The borrower is likely to file for bankruptcy or conduct other financial reorganization; or
-
Due to financial difficulties, the active market of the financial assets disappeared.
The loss allowance of financial assets measured through amortized cost is deducted from the carrying amount of assets. The loss allowance of debt instrument investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is adjusted profit and loss and recognized in other comprehensive income (without reducing the carrying amount of assets).
When the Consolidated Company cannot reasonably expect the whole or part of the recovered financial assets, it directly reduces the total carrying amount of its financial assets. The Consolidated Company analyzes the time and amount of write off individually based on whether it reasonably expects to be recoverable. The Consolidated Company expects that the amount written off will not be materially reversed. However, the written-off financial assets can still be enforced to comply with the procedures for the Consolidated Company to recover the overdue amount.
- (5) Derecognition of Financial Assets
The Consolidated Company only derecognizes the financial assets when the contractual rights of the assets ’ cash flow are terminated, or when the financial assets have been transferred and almost all the risks and remuneration of the ownership of the asset have been transferred to other enterprises, or when almost all the risks and remuneration of the ownership have not been transferred or retained, and the control of the financial assets have not been retained.
When the Consolidated Company enters into a transaction to transfer financial
- 142 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
assets, if it retains all or almost all of the risks and remuneration of ownership of
the transferred assets, it will continue to be recognized in the balance sheet.
-
Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments
-
(1) Classification of Liabilities or Equities
The debt and equity instruments issued by the Consolidated Company are classified as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of contractual arrangements and the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
- (2) Equity Transactions
Equity instruments refer to any contracts containing residual interest after the Consolidated Company subtracts liabilities from assets. The equity instruments issued by the Consolidated Company are recognized at the price obtained deduct the direct issue cost.
- (3) Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as amortized costs or the fair value measurement through profit or loss. Financial liabilities, if held for trading, derivatives or designated at the time of initial recognition, are classified as the fair value measurement through profit or loss. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are the fair value measurement, and the related net profit and loss, including any interest paid, are recognized in profit and loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expenses and exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any profit or loss at the time of derecognize is also recognized in profit and loss.
-
(4) Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
-
The Consolidated Company derecognizes financial liabilities when the contractual obligations have been fulfilled, canceled or matured. When the provisions of financial liabilities are revised and there is a material difference in the cash flow of the modified liabilities, the initial financial liabilities shall be derecognized, and the new financial liabilities shall be recognized at fair value based on the revised provisions.
When a financial liability is derecognized, the difference between the carrying amount and the total consideration paid or payable (including any non-cash asset transferred or liability assumed) is recognized as profit or loss.
-
(5) Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be offset against each other and expressed in the net amount in the balance sheet only when the Consolidated Company currently has the legally enforceable rights to offset and has the intention for netting settlement or realizing assets and settlement at the same time.
-
143 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
- (6) Financial Guarantee Contract
A financial guarantee contract refers to a contract that the issuer must pay a specific amount to reimburse the loss of the holder when the specific debtor is due and unable to repay according to the terms of the debt instrument.
The financial guarantee contract issued by the Consolidated Company that is not designated as a fair value measurement through profit or loss are initially measured at its fair value minus directly attributable transaction costs, and subsequently measured at the higher of the following: (a) according to the amount of loss allowance determined in IFRS 9; and (b) the amount initially recognized, when applicable, deduct the amount of accumulated income recognized under the following income principles.
- (7) Investments in Associates
Associates refer to those for which the Consolidated Company has a material influence upon their financial and operating policies but without controlling or joint controlling. The Consolidated Company adopts the equity method for handling the equity of associates. Under the equity method, the initial acquisition is recognized according to the cost, and the investment cost includes the transaction cost. The carrying amount of invested associates includes the goodwill recognized at the time of initial investment less any accumulative impairment loss.
The consolidated financial statements include the amount of profit and loss and other comprehensive profit and loss of each invested associate recognized by the Consolidated Company according to the proportionate interest after the adjustment of the consistency with the accounting policies of the Consolidated Company from the date of attaining a material influence to the date of losing such influence. When the equity of associates change, not including profit and loss and other comprehensive profit and loss, and do not affect the shareholding ratio of the Consolidated Company, the Consolidated Company shall recognize all the equity changes as capital surplus according to the shareholding ratio. The unrealized profits and losses arising from the transaction between the Consolidated Company and the associates shall be recognized in the financial statements of the associates only within the scope of the interest of the non-affiliated investor to the associate.
When the Consolidated Company recognizes the loss of associates in proportion and its share is equal to or more than its equity in associates, it shall stop recognize the loss. The Consolidated Company shall recognize additional losses and related liabilities only to the extent of legal obligations, constructive obligations or payments made on behalf of the investee.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
- (8) Investment Property
Investment property refers to property held for earning rent or asset appreciation or both, rather than for normal business sale, production, provision of goods or services, or administrative purposes. Investment property is initially measured by cost and subsequently measured by cost minus accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Its depreciation method, service life, and residual value are treated following the provisions of property, plant, and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of the investment property (calculated by the difference between the net disposal proceed and the carrying amount of the item) is recognized in profit and loss.
Rental income from investment property is recognized in other income on a straight-line basis during the lease term. The lease incentive is recognized as part of the lease income during the lease term.
-
(9) Property, Plant and Equipment
-
1.Recognition and Measurement
- Property, plant, and equipment items are measured by cost (including capitalized borrowing costs) less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. When the useful life of a material component of property, plant, and equipment is different, it shall be treated as a separate item (main component) of property, plant, and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of the property, plant, and equipment is recognized in profit and loss.
- 2.Subsequent Cost
Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when their future economic benefits are likely to flow into the Consolidated Company.
- 3.Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated by deducting the residual value from the asset cost and is recognized in profit or loss within the estimated useful life of each component using the straight-line method.
No depreciation shall be recognized for the land.
The estimated useful life of the current period and comparative periods are as follows:
-
(1) 5 to 53 years for houses and buildings
-
(2) 5 years for transportation equipment
-
(3) 3 to 5 years for other equipment
The Consolidated Company shall review the depreciation method, useful life, and
residual value on each reporting date, and make appropriate adjustments as necessary.
-
(10) Leases
-
1.Lease Judgment
The Consolidated Company evaluates whether the contract is a lease or contains a lease on the contract establishment date. If the contract transfers control over the use of the identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the contract is a lease or contains a lease. To evaluate whether the contract is a lease, the Consolidated Company evaluates the following items:
- 145 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
-
(1) The contract involves the use of an identified asset, which is explicitly designated in the contract or implicitly designated when it is available for use, and its substance can distinguish or represent all the actual production capacity. If the supplier poses substantive rights to replace the asset, the asset is not an identified asset; and
-
(2) Have the right to obtain almost all economic benefits from the use of identified assets throughout the use period; and
-
(3) Attain the right to dominate the use of identified assets when one of the following conditions is met:
-
The client has the right to dominate the use method of identified assets and the purpose of use throughout the use period.
-
The relevant decisions about the use method and purpose of use of the asset are determined in advance, and:
-
The client has the right to operate the asset throughout the use period, and the supplier has no right to change the operating instructions; or
-
The client's plan on how to use the asset and purpose of use has determined in advance for the entire period of use.
-
On the date of the lease establishment or when reassessing whether the contract includes a lease, the Consolidated Company allocates the consideration in the contract to the individual lease components based on the relative individual price. However, when renting land and buildings, the Consolidated Company chose not to distinguish between non-lease components and treated the lease component and non-lease component as a single lease component.
2.Lessee
The Consolidated Company recognizes the right-of-use asset and the lease liability on the inception of the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which includes the initial measured amount of the lease liability, adjusts any lease benefits paid on or before the inception of the lease, and adds the initial direct cost incurred and the estimated cost of dismantling, removing the underlying asset and restoring its location or underlying asset, and deducting any leasing incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated by the straight-line method from the inception of the lease to the expiration of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the earlier of the lease term. Also, the Consolidated Company shall regularly assess whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and processes any impairment loss that has occurred, and cooperates to adjust the right-of-use asset when the lease liability is remeasured.
Lease liabilities are primitively measured by the present value of the unpaid lease benefits on the inception of the lease. If the interest rate implicit in the lease is easy to determine, the discount rate shall be the interest rate; if it is not easy to determine, the incremental borrowing rate of interest of the Consolidated Company shall be used. Generally speaking, the Consolidated Company uses its incremental borrowing rate of interest as the discount rate.
Lease benefits included in the measurement of lease liabilities consist of:
- 146 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
-
(1) Fixed benefits, including substantial fixed benefits;
-
(2) The variable lease benefits depend on an index or rate, and the index or rate on the inception of the lease is applied as the initial measurement;
-
(3) The residual guarantee amount expected to be paid; and
-
(4) When reasonably determined that the purchase option or lease termination option will be exercised, the exercise price or the penalty payable.
The lease liability subsequently accrues interest with the effective interest method, and its amount is measured when the following occurs:
-
(1) Changes in the index or rate used to determine lease benefits result in changes in future lease benefits;
-
(2) The residual guarantee amount expected to be paid has changed;
-
(3) The evaluation of the underlying asset purchase option has changed;
-
(4) The assessment of whether to exercise the option of extension or termination has changed, and alter the assessment of the lease term;
-
(5) Modification of the subject matter, scope, or other terms of the lease.
When the lease liability is remeasured due to the above changes in the index or rate used to determine the lease benefits, changes in the residual guarantee amount, and changes in the evaluation of the purchase, extension or termination option, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset shall be adjusted accordingly, and when the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the surplus remeasured amount shall be recognized in profit and loss.
For the lease modification of reducing the lease scope, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and the difference between it and the remeasurement amount of the lease liability is recognized in profit and loss.
The Consolidated Company expresses the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities that do not meet the definition of investment property as separate line items in the balance sheet.
For short-term leases of office equipment and leases of low-value underlying assets, the Consolidated Company chooses not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, but to recognize the related lease benefits as expenses on the straight-line basis during the lease term.
- 3.Lessor
For transactions in which the Consolidated Company is the lessor, it is to classify the tenancy agreement according to whether it transfers almost all risks and remuneration attached to the ownership of the underlying asset on the lease establishment date. If so, it is classified as a financial lease, otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease. At the time of evaluation, the Consolidated Company's considerations include relevant specific indicators, such as whether it covers the main component of the economic life of the underlying asset during the lease term.
If the Consolidated Company is a sublease lessor, the main lease and sublease transactions are processed separately, and the classification of the sublease transaction is evaluated by the right-of-use asset generated by the main lease. If the main lease is a short-term lease and the recognition exemption applies, the sublease transaction should be classified as an operating lease.
If the agreement includes leasing and non-leasing components, the Consolidated Company shall employ the provisions of IFRS 15 to share the consideration in the contract.
- 147 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
- (11) Impairments of Non-financial Assets
The Consolidated Company assesses on each reporting date whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of non-financial assets (other than inventory, contractual assets, and deferred income tax assets) may be impaired. If any indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Goodwill is regularly tested for impairment every year.
The purpose of the impairment test, a group of assets whose cash inflow is mostly independent of other individual assets or asset groups, is regarded as the smallest identifiable asset group. Goodwill acquired from a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergy combination.
The recoverable amount of an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its use-value. When evaluating the use-value, the estimated future cash flow is converted to the present value at the pre-tax discount rate, which should reflect the current market's evaluation of the time value of money and the specific risk of the asset or cash-generating unit.
If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
The impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit and loss, and first reduces the carrying amount of the goodwill of the cash-generating unit, and then reduces the carrying amount of each asset in proportion to the carrying amount of other assets in the unit.
- (12) Provisions
The recognition of provisions means a current obligation for past events so that in the future the Consolidated Company is most likely to outflow resources with economic benefits to settle it, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. The provision is discounted at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market's assessment of the time value of money and the specific risk of liabilities. The amortization of the discount is recognized as interest expense.
The warranty provision is recognized at the completion of the construction and is measured at correlation probability weighting according to the historical warranty data and all possible results.
-
(13) Revenue Recognition
-
Revenue from Contracts with Clients
-
The revenue is measured by the consideration expected to be entitled to for the transfer of goods or services. The Consolidated Company recognizes the revenue when the control over goods or services is transferred to the client, and the performance obligations are met. The main revenue items of the Consolidated Company are described as follows:
-
(1) Labor Services
-
The Consolidated Company provides business management services and recognizes the relevant revenue during the financial reporting period of providing labor services. Fixed-price contracts recognize the revenue based on the proportion of actual services provided to the total services as of the reporting date, which is determined by the proportion of costs incurred to the estimated total costs of transactions.
- 148 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
If the situation changes, the estimates of revenue, cost, and degree of completion will be revised, and the increase or decrease caused during the period when the management is informed of the change will be reflected in profit and loss. Under a fixed-price contract, the client pays a fixed amount of money according to the agreed schedule. When the service provided exceeds the payment, the contract assets shall be recognized. When the payment exceeds the service provided, the contract liabilities shall be recognized.
- (2) Construction Contracts
The Consolidated Company is engaged in the contracting business of residential property and public construction. Since the assets are under the control of clients at the time of construction, the revenue is gradually recognized over time based on the proportion of the construction costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs. The contract includes fixed and variable consideration. The client pays a fixed amount of money according to the agreed schedule. Some variable consideration (such as penalty and price adjustment calculated based on overdue days) is estimated by the expected value based on the accumulated experience in the past. The Consolidated Company recognizes revenue only within the range where the accumulated income is highly unlikely to have a material reversal. If the amount of recognized revenue has not yet been claimed, it shall be recognized as a contract asset. When there is an unconditional right to the consideration, the contract asset shall be transferred to the accounts receivable.
If it is unable to reasonably measure the completion degree of the performance obligation of the construction contract, the contract revenue shall only be recognized within the scope of the expected recoverable cost.
When the Consolidated Company foresees that the inevitable cost of fulfilling the obligations of a construction contract exceeds the expected economic benefits from the contract, the liability reserve of the loss-making contract is recognized. If the situation changes, the estimates of revenue, cost, and degree of completion will be revised, and the increase or decrease will be reflected in profit and loss during the period when the management is informed of the change.
The Consolidated Company provides a standard warranty for residential property and public construction in line with the agreed specifications and has recognized the warranty liability reserve for this obligation. Please refer to Note 6 (9) for details.
- Cost of Client Contracts
Cost of Fulfilling Contracts
If the cost of fulfilling client contracts is not within the scope of other standards (IAS 2 "inventory", IAS 16 "property, plant and equipment", or IAS 38 "intangible assets"), the Consolidated Company shall only recognize such cost as an asset when it is directly related to contract or explicitly identifiable expected contract, which will be generating or strengthening resources for future satisfaction (or continuous satisfaction) of performance obligations, and expected to be recoverable.
The general and management costs, the costs of wasted raw materials, labor or other resources used to perform the contract but not reflected in the contract price, the costs related to the fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) performance obligation and the costs
- 149 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
related to unfulfilled performance obligation or fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) performance obligation that cannot be distinguished are recognized as an expense when incurred.
-
(14) Employee Benefits
-
Defined Contribution Plan
- The contribution obligation of the defined contribution plan is recognized as an expense during the period of service provided by the employee.
-
Defined Benefit Plan
The net obligation of the Consolidated Company to determine the benefit plan is calculated by converting the future benefit amount earned by the employee in the current period or the previous period into the present value for each benefit plan and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation result may be beneficial to the Consolidated Company, the recognized assets shall be limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunding the contribution from the plan or reducing the future contribution to the plan. When calculating the present value of economic benefits, any minimum funding requirements are considered.
The remeasurement of net defined benefit liabilities, including actuarial gains and losses, plan asset returns (excluding interest), and any changes in the impact of the asset ceiling (excluding interest), are immediately recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in retained earnings. The net interest expense (income) of the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) determined by the Consolidated Company is the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) and the discount rate determined at the beginning of the annual reporting period. The net interest paid and other expenses of the benefit plan are recognized in profit and loss.
When the plan is amended or reduced, the number of benefits changes related to past service costs or reduced benefits or losses shall be recognized as profit or loss immediately. When the settlement occurs, the Consolidated Company shall recognize the settlement profit and loss of the defined benefit plan.
-
Short-term Employee Benefits
- Short-term employee benefit obligations are recognized as expenses when services are provided. If the Consolidated Company has current legal or constructive payment obligations due to the past services provided by employees and the obligations can be estimated reliably, the amount shall be recognized as liabilities.
-
(15) Income Tax
Income tax includes current and deferred income tax. Except for items related to the Consolidated Company and directly recognized into equity or other comprehensive incomes, current and deferred income tax shall be recognized in profit or loss.
Current income tax includes the estimated income tax payable or tax refund receivable calculated based on the taxable income (loss) of the current year, and any adjustments to income tax payable or tax refund receivable in previous years. The amount is the best estimate of the expected payment or receipt based on the legal tax rate or substantively enacted tax rate on the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is measured and recognized on the temporary difference between the
- 150 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax base. The temporary difference for the following conditions will not be recognized as deferred income tax:
-
Assets or liabilities initially recognized in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect accounting profit and taxable income (loss);
-
Due to temporary differences arising from investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture interests, the Consolidated Company can control the reversing point of temporary differences and is likely not to revert in the foreseeable future; and
-
The taxable temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred income tax is measured by the tax rate when the expected temporary difference is reversed and is based on the legal tax rate or substantively enacted tax rate on the reporting date.
The Consolidated Company only offsets the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities when the following conditions are met simultaneously:
-
Have the legally enforceable right to offset the current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities against each other; and
-
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to one of the following taxpayers levied by the same taxation authority:
-
(1) Same taxpayer; or
-
(2) Different taxpayers, yet each taxpayer intends to settle current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or realize assets and settle liabilities at the same time in each future period when a material amount of deferred income tax assets are expected to be recovered, and deferred income tax liabilities are expected to be settled.
For unused tax losses and unused income tax deduction at the later stage of the transfer and deductible temporary differences, they are recognized as deferred income tax assets to the extent that there is likely to be future taxable income available for use. On each reporting day, it shall be reassessed to reduce the relevant income tax benefits to the extent that they are not likely to be realized or to revert the reduced amount to the extent that they are likely to become sufficient taxable income.
- (16) Earnings per Share
The Consolidated Company presents the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company's common equity holders. The basic earnings per share of the Consolidated Company are calculated by dividing the profit and loss attributable to the Company's common equity holders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares in the current period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the profit and loss attributable to the common equity holders of the Company and the weighted average number of outstanding common shares, respectively, after adjusting the impact of all potential diluted common equity.
- 151 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
- (17) Segment Information
The operating segment is an integral part of the Consolidated Company, which is engaged in business activities that may generate revenue and incur expenses (including revenue and expense related to the transactions among other components in the Consolidated Company). The operating results of all operating segments are periodically reviewed by the major operating decision-makers of the Consolidated Company to make decisions on the allocation of resources to the segments and to evaluate their performance. Every operation segment has its independent financial information.
5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation and Assumption Uncertainty
The management must make judgments, estimates, and assumptions when preparing the consolidated financial statements under the preparation standards and IFRS endorsed by the FSC, which will have an impact on the adoption of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, earnings, and expenses. The actual results may differ from the estimates.
The management continuously reviews estimates and basic assumptions, and changes in accounting estimates are recognized during the period of change and the future period affected.
The accounting policy involves significant judgments and information that has a material impact on the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:
- (1) Judgment on Whether It Has a Material Impact on Associates
The Consolidated Company holds 46.67% of the voting shares of ReadyCom eServices Corporation, but the Consolidated Company does not substantially participate in the decision of the company's financial and operational policies. So it has no significant influence on ReadyCom eServices Corporation.
The following assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, of which the details are as follows:
- (1) Revenue Recognition
The recognition of the profit and loss of the construction contract of the Consolidated Company refers to the recognition of the contract revenue and the contract cost respectively according to the complete degree of the contractual activities and the degree of completion is measured by the proportion of the contract cost incurred so far in the estimated total contract cost. The Consolidated Company considers the nature, estimated duration, contract projects, construction process, construction method, and estimated contract amount of each project to estimate the total contract cost. The above estimation basis is subject to change due to conditions of work, overall price fluctuations, and owner requirements.
The accounting policy and disclosure of the consolidated company include the adoption of fair value measurement on financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Consolidated Company verifies the independent source data to make the evaluation result close to the market status, confirms that the data source is independent, reliable, consistent with other resources and represents the executable price, and regularly calibrates the evaluation model, conducts backtesting, updates the input value and data required by the evaluation model and any other necessary fair value adjustments to ensure that the evaluation result is reasonable. For investment property, the Consolidated Company evaluates it periodically or entrusts an external appraiser to evaluate it according to the
- 152 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
evaluation method and parameter hypothesis announced by the FSC.
In measuring the assets and liabilities, the Consolidated Company will employ the observable input value in the market as much as possible. The level of fair value is classified as follows based on the input value adopted by the evaluation technology:
-
Level 1: The public offer price (unadjusted) of the same asset or liability in the active market.
-
Level 2: In addition to the public offer price included in level 1, the input parameters of assets or liabilities are directly (namely price) or indirectly (namely derived from price) observable.
-
Level 3: Input parameters of assets or liabilities are not based on observable market data (non-observable parameters).
In case of any transfer event or situation of fair value between different levels, the Consolidated Company shall recognize such transfer on the reporting date.
Please refer to the following notes for information about the assumptions used to measure fair value:
-
(I) Note VI (VII), investment property
-
(II) Note VI (XVIII), financial instrument

Interest Rate Analysis The risk of interest rate exposure on the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Consolidated Company is described in the liquidity risk management of this note. The following sensitivity analysis is determined by the interest rate risk exposure of derivative and non-derivative instruments on the reporting date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis method presumes that the amount of outstanding liabilities on the reporting date is outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change used in reporting the interest rate to the key management within the Consolidated Company is 0.5% increase or decrease in the interest rate, which also signifies the management's evaluation of the reasonable range of likely fluctuations in the interest rate.

Other Price Risk On the reporting date, if the price of equity securities fluctuates (two periods of analysis are based on the same basis, assuming that other variable factors remain unchanged), the impact on the comprehensive profit and loss items is as follows:

- (2) Quantitative information of fair value measurement of material unobservable inputs (Level 3)
The fair value measurement of the Consolidated Company is classified as Level 3, mainly including financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and is conducted through the income approach.
- (3) Fair value evaluation technique of financial instruments measured at fair value Non-derivative financial instruments
If a financial instrument has a quoted price in an active market, then the active market quotation shall be the fair value. The market price of the major Exchanges and the market price of popular central government bonds judged and released by the Taipei Exchange, which is the basis of the fair values of TWSE/TPEx listed equity instruments and debt instruments with active market quotations.
- 168 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
If the public quotation of a financial instrument can be obtained from an exchange, broker, underwriter, industry association, pricing service agency or competent authority in a timely and frequent manner, and the price represents the actual and regular fair market transactions, then the financial instrument has an active market quotation. If the above conditions are not met, the market is deemed not active. Generally speaking, large difference in buying and selling price, significant increase of buying and selling price, and few transactions are indexes of market not active.
If the financial instruments held by the Consolidated Company fit into an active market, their fair values are listed according to the categories and attributes as follows :
The stock of a TWSE/TPEx listed company is a financial asset with standard terms and traded in an active market, and its fair value is determined by reference to the market quotation.
In addition to the aforementioned financial instruments with an active market, the fair value of other financial instruments is acquired by valuation technique or by reference to the counterparty quotes. The fair value acquired through valuation technique can refer to the current fair value, the discounted cash flow method or other valuation techniques for financial instruments with similar substantive conditions and characteristics in essence, including the market information available on the combined reporting date using the model (such as the reference yield curve of the OTC market and the average quotation of Reuters commercial promissory note rate).
If the financial instruments held by the Consolidated Company do not fit into the active market, their fair values are listed according to the categories and attributes as follows :
The equity instrument without public quotation: The discounted cash flow model is used to estimate fair value. Its main assumption is that the expected future cash flow of the investee will be measured by discounting the rate of return, reflecting the time value of money and investment risk.
The equity instrument without public quotation: The market comparable company approach is used to estimate the fair value. Its main assumption is based on the estimated earnings before tax, interest, depreciation, and amortization of the investee and the earnings multiplier derived from the market quotation of comparable TWSE/TPEx listed companies. This estimate has adjusted the discount effect of the lack of market liquidity of the equity securities.

-
2.Risk Management Framework
-
(1) Risk management policies:
In the process of operation, enterprises often encounter many uncertain factors that may threaten their operations. In order to perceive and control them as early as possible and reduce the losses caused by the occurrence of risks, a good risk management policy is essential. The Board of Directors of the Consolidated Company establishes the overall risk management policy in line with the operating strategy, operating environment and department plan. Its main subjects include the aspects of the environment, internal and external operational flow, and strategic decision-making, etc. Furthermore, the Board of Directors shall put forward risk management reports on the resolutions, deliverables, supervision, and subsequent execution process of various risk management issues. So when the future operation and management encounter similar or the same problems, it can refer to the experience and propose better solutions.
- (2) Organizational structure of risk management:
Each hierarchy level or department of the Consolidated Company shall be responsible for the risks. Once the situation is found to be wrong, it shall promptly report to the auditing office or the senior executive and seek solutions as soon as possible. The decision-maker shall also take action within the shortest time.
- 170 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
The organizational structure of risk management of the merged company is as follows:
| Name of Organization | Scope of Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| The Board of Directors | Establish risk management policies Ensure the effective operation and resource allocation of risk management mechanism |
| Senior Management | Implement risk management decisions of the Board of Directors Coordinate risk management affairs across departments |
| Auditing Office | Conduct daily risk management audit Supervise risk management activities and report the implementation to the Board of Directors and Supervisors |
| Other Departments | Consolidate the implementation results of risk management activities Conduct daily risk management operations Determine the risk category depending on environmental changes, and propose the undertaking plan |
3.Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss due to the failure of the Consolidated Company's clients or counterparties of financial instruments to perform their contractual obligations. It mainly comes from the accounts receivable from clients and securities investment of the Consolidated Company.
- (1) Accounts receivable and other receivables
The credit risk exposure of the Consolidated Company is primarily affected by the individual circumstances of each client. The management also considers the statistical data of the Consolidated Company's client base, including the default risk of the client's industry and country, as these factors may affect the credit risk. In order to reduce the credit risk of receivables, the Consolidated Company continuously assesses the financial status of its clients and requires the counterparty to provide collaterals or guarantees when necessary.
- (2) Investment
The credit risks of bank deposits, fixed-income investments, and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the financial department of the Consolidated Company. Given that the trading counterpart and the contract performing party of the Consolidated Company are financial institutions, corporate organizations, and government agencies with good credit, there is no material credit risk because there is no significant doubt about the contract performance.
4.Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Consolidated Company is unable to deliver cash or other financial assets to settle financial liabilities and fails to perform relevant obligations. The method of managing the liquidity of the Consolidated Company is to ensure that the Consolidated Company has sufficient circulating capital to pay for its due liabilities under normal and stressful conditions, without any risk of unacceptable loss or damage to the reputation of the Consolidated Company.
- 171 -
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and Subsidiaries (continued)
Generally speaking, the Consolidated Company ensures that there is sufficient cash to meet the needs of expected operating expenses, including the performance of financial obligations, but excluding the potential impact that cannot be reasonably expected under extreme circumstances, such as natural disasters. Moreover, the unused comprehensive loan facilities (including NTD loans, letters of credit, and commercial paper facilities) of the Consolidated Company on December 31, 2020, and 2019 totaled NT$4,488,003,000 and NT$3,671,975,000.
5.Market Risk
Market risk refers to the risk that changes in market prices, such as exchange rate, interest rate, and equity instrument price will affect the earnings of the Consolidated Company or the value of the financial instruments it holds. The goal of market risk management is to control the market risk to an acceptable extent and optimize the return on investment.
- (1) Interest rate risk
The policy of the Consolidated Company is to ensure that the risk of borrowing interest rate fluctuation is based on fixed interest rates. To achieve this goal, part of this is through the signing of fixed interest rate instruments, and part is through the borrowing floating interest rates, and the use of interest rate swap contracts is attributed to avoid the cash flow variability due to interest rate fluctuations.
- (2)Other market price risks
The Consolidated Company has the risk of exposure in equity price due to the equity securities investment of TWSE/TPEx listed companies. The equity investment is not held for trading but a strategic investment. The Consolidated Company has not actively traded such investments, and the managing personnel of the Consolidated Company manage the risks by holding different risk investment portfolios.
(20) Capital management
The goal of the capital management of the Consolidated Company is to ensure the ability to sustain operation to continuously offer the shareholders' remuneration and other stakeholders' interests and to maintain the best capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or recapitalize structure, the Consolidated Company may adjust the dividends paid to the shareholders, refund of capital reduction to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle the liabilities.
The Consolidated Company is the same as its peers and uses debt to capital ratio as the foundation of capital control. The ratio is calculated by dividing net indebtedness over the capitalization. Net indebtedness is the total liabilities, shown in the balance sheets, less cash and cash equivalents. Capitalization is the entire component of equity (that is, equity, capital surplus, retained earnings, other equity, and non-controlling equity) plus net indebtedness.
The capital management strategy of the Consolidated Company in 2020 is consistent with that in 2019, to ensure financing at a reasonable cost. The debt to capital ratios at December 31, 2020, and 2019 are as follows:

V. 2020 Parent Company only Financial Statements Audited and Attested by CPAs
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd.:
Audit Opinion
We have audited the parent company only Balance Sheets of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Changes in Equity, Statements of Cash Flows, and Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements (including Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for the annual period from January 1 to December 31, 2020, and 2019.
In our opinion, the aforementioned parent company only financial statements in all material aspects are in compliance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and are sufficient to present the financial position of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2020, and 2019, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year 2020 and 2019 from January 1, to December 31.
Foundation of Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Our responsibility under those standards will be further described in the section titled "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Parent Company Only Financial Statements." Following the code of professional ethics of accountants, the persons subject to the independence standards of our accounting firm have maintained their independence from the Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. and fulfilled other responsibilities of the standards. We are convinced that we have acquired enough and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the foundation of the audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 individual financial statements of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. These matters were addressed in our audit of parent company only financial statements as a whole and forming our audit opinion. We do not express a separate opinion on these matters. In our judgment, key audit matters that shall be communicated in the audit report are as follows:
I.Construction Contracts
Please refer to Note 4 (12) "revenue recognition" of the parent company only financial statements for details of the accounting policies related to the building contracts. Please refer to Note 5 of the parent company only financial statements for details of the accounting estimates and assumed uncertainties of estimated total contract cost of the building contracts. Please refer to Note 6 (15) "revenue of the client contracts" of the parent company only financial statements for details of revenue recognition and the accumulated cost incurred.
- 181 -
Description of Key Audit Matters:
The change of the total contract price of the construction contracts, such as the addition and reduction of the construction and the price index subsidy, involves a high degree of judgment by management. The miscalculation of gross contract revenue may cause material changes in profit and loss during the financial reporting period, and therefore there are significant risks. Also, Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. recognizes the revenue and cost of contracts under construction according to the percentage of completion method, while the degree of completion is calculated based on the proportion of the incurred contract cost to the estimated total contract cost as of the financial reporting date. The total cost of the construction contracts involves a high degree of estimation and judgment of the management, and the miscalculations disclosed above may cause significant differences in the timing of recognition for profit and loss and the current financial statements. Corresponding Audit Procedures:
Our main audit procedures regarding the aforementioned key audit matters included the following:
-
Test the internal control and implementation effectiveness of the contract and collection; obtain the detail list of addition and reduction of the total contract price of each construction for the current period; randomly check the external documents such as the contract, agreement, owner's communication or site coordination meeting minutes, as well as the valuation information of each period the condition of the owner's acceptance.
-
Test and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal control system and implementation of procurement contracting and construction budgeting operations; randomly check external documents such as construction price lists, contracts, daily construction reports, invoices, and construction budgets, and check with construction budgets to verify the appropriateness of collection and accumulation of the construction type; randomly evaluate the preparation process of the construction budget of the management team and checks the pricing information of each period to calculate the percentage of completion of the construction; randomly check and execute the cut-off point test of the construction in progress for the period before and after the balance sheet date.
Responsibilities of the Management and Governing Body for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
It is the management's responsibility to fairly present the parent company only financial statements in compliance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and to sustain essential internal controls respecting the preparation of the parent company only financial statements so as to ensure that there is no material misrepresentation in the parent company only financial statements due to fraud or error.
In the preparation of the parent company only financial statements, the responsibility of management also includes the assessment of the sustainability of going concerned for Kedge Construction Co., Ltd., disclosure of relevant matters, as well as the adoption of the accounting base for continuing operations, unless the management intends to liquidate the Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. or terminate the business, or there is no practicable measure other than liquidation or termination of the business.
The governing bodies of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. (including the Audit Committee or the supervisors) have the responsibility to oversee the process by which the financial statements are prepared.
- 182 -
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The purpose of our audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the parent company only financial statements as a whole do not contain material misrepresentation arising from fraud or errors, and to issue an independent auditors' report. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards will always detect the existence of any material misrepresentation in the parent company only financial statements. Misrepresentation may be due to fraud or error. It is considered to be material if the misrepresented individual amount or the aggregated total can be reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by the users of the parent company only financial statements.
When auditing in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, we practice professional judgment and maintains professional suspicion. We also perform the following tasks:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misrepresentation in the parent company only financial statements due to fraud or error; design and implement applicable countermeasures for the assessed risks, as well as obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as to the foundation of audit opinions. Because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, untrue declaration or the override of internal control, the risk of not detecting the material misrepresentation caused by fraud is higher than that caused by the error.
-
To acquire the necessary understanding of internal control relevant to audit so as to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but its purpose is not to express opinions on the effectiveness of internal control of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by management.
-
Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclude on the appropriateness of the accounting base for continuing operations adopted by the management and whether there is a material uncertainty in the events or circumstances that may cause material doubts about the sustainability of going concerned for Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. If we believe that there is a material uncertainty in such events or circumstances, we shall remind the users of the parent company only financial statements to pay attention to the relevant disclosure of the parent company only financial statements in our auditor's report or we shall amend the audit opinion when such disclosure is inadequate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained as of the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or circumstances may result in Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. no longer having the ability to going concerned.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the parent company only financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements fairly represent the underlying transactions and events.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of the invested company adopting the equity method to express opinions on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the guidance, supervision, and implementation of the audit cases, and for forming the audit opinions for Kedge Construction Co., Ltd.

-
(1) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss;
-
(2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; and

-
(3) Classification Standard for Distinguishing Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Assets that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current assets, and all other assets that are not current assets are classified as non-current assets:
-
The asset is expected to be realized within its normal operating cycle, or it is intended to be sold or depleted;
-
The asset is held mainly for trading purposes;
-
The asset is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
The asset is cash or cash equivalent, but it will be used for the exchange of assets or settlement of liabilities at least twelve months after the reporting period, unless otherwise limited.
Liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities, and all other liabilities that are not current liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
The liability is expected to be settled within its normal operating cycle;
-
The liabilities held are primarily for the trading purpose;
-
The liabilities are expected to settle the obligation within 12 months after the reporting period; or

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
- (4) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposit. Cash equivalents refer to the short-term and highly liquidity investment that can be converted into quota cash at any time with little risk of value change. Time deposits are classified as cash equivalents only when they satisfy the aforementioned definition, and the purpose of holding is to meet the short-term cash commitments rather than investment or other purposes.
- (5) Financial Instruments
The accounts receivable and debt securities issued are primitively recognized at the time of generation. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are primitively recognized when the Company became a party to the terms of the financial instrument contract. Financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss (other than accounts receivable excluding material financial components) or financial liabilities primitively at fair value may be measured directly attributable to the transaction cost of the acquisition or issuance. The accounts receivable excluding material financial components are primitively measured at transaction prices.
- Financial Assets
Where the purchase or sale of financial assets is in line with conventional trading practices, the accounting treatment of all purchases and sales of financial assets classified in the same way by the Company shall be consistently on the trade date or the settlement date.
Financial assets at the time of initial recognition are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost, equity instrument investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit and loss, or financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss. The Company shall reclassify all the affected financial assets from the first day of the next reporting period only when changing the business model for managing financial assets.
-
(1) Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost
-
When financial assets meet the following conditions and not designated at fair value through profit or loss, they are measured at amortized cost:
-
It refers to the holding of the financial assets under the business model for the purpose of receiving contractual cash flow.
-
The contractual terms of the financial asset generate the cash flow on a specific date, which is fully used to pay for the outstanding principal amount and interest of the principal.
Such assets are subsequently amortized by the initial amount recognized plus or minus the accumulated amortization amount calculated by the effective interest method, and the amortized cost measurement of any allowance loss is adjusted. Interest income, foreign exchange profit or loss, and impairment loss are recognized in profit and loss. When derecognition, gain or loss is recognized in profit and loss.
- (2) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income
At the time of initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable choice and report the subsequent changes at the fair value of equity instrument investment not held for trading to other comprehensive income. The
- 192 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
aforementioned choice is made on the item by item basis.
Equity instrument investors shall be measured at fair value subsequently. Dividend income (unless it clearly represents the recovery of part of the investment cost) is recognized in profit and loss. The remaining net profit or loss is recognized as other comprehensive income and is not reclassified to profit and loss.
The dividend income of equity investment shall be recognized on the date when the Company is entitled to receive dividends (usually the ex-dividend date).
- (3) Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Financial assets not measured at the aforementioned amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss, including derivative financial assets. Receivables that the Company intend to sell immediately or in the near future are measured at fair value through profit or loss, but included under Accounts Receivable. At the time of initial recognition, to eliminate or materially reduce accounting mismatches, the Company may irrevocably designate financial assets that meet the criteria of measuring at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, and their net profit or loss (including any dividend and interest income) is recognized as profit or loss.
-
(4) Impairment of Financial Assets
-
Regarding the financial assets measured through amortized cost (including cash and equivalent cash, financial assets measured by amortized cost, notes receivable and accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits, other financial assets, etc.,) account receivable, and contract assets, the Company shall recognize loss allowance for expected credit losses.
The loss allowance of the following financial assets are measured based on the expected credit losses amount in 12 months, and the remaining are measured based on the lifetime expected credit loss amount:
-
Determine that the debt securities have low credit risk on the reporting date; and
-
The credit risk of other debt securities and bank deposits (i.e., the occurrence of default risk exceeding the expected duration of financial instruments) has not increased significantly since the initial recognition.
The loss allowance for accounts receivable and contractual assets is measured by the amount of lifetime expected credit losses.
In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Company shall consider reasonable and verifiable information (available without excessive cost or investment), including qualitative and quantitative information, analysis based on the historical experience, credit evaluation, and prospective information.
The Company considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of investment grade which is considered to be BBB- or higher per Standard & Poor’s, Baa3 or higher

per Moody ’ s or twA or higher per Taiwan Ratings.-
Expected credit loss refers to the weighted estimate of credit loss probability during the expected duration of financial instruments. The credit loss is measured by the present value of all cash shortfall, namely the difference between the cash flow that the Company can collect according to the contract and the expected cash flow that the Company will receive. Expected credit loss is discounted at the effective interest rate of financial assets.
On each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is credit impairment on financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. When one or more events are arising that will bring unfavorable influence to expected future cash flow, there is already credit impairment to the financial asset. Evidence of credit impairment of financial assets includes observable data on the following:
-
Material financial difficulties of the borrower or the issuer;
-
Default, such as delay or overdue for more than 90 days;
-
Due to the economic or contractual reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company gives the borrower concessions that would not have been inspected;
-
The borrower is likely to file for bankruptcy or conduct other financial reorganization; or
-
Due to financial difficulties, the active market of the financial assets disappeared.
The loss allowance of financial assets measured through amortized cost is deducted from the carrying amount of assets. The loss allowance of debt instrument investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income (without reducing the carrying amount of assets).
When the Company cannot reasonably expect the whole or part of the recovered financial assets, it directly reduces the total carrying amount of its financial assets. The Company analyzes the time and amount of write off individually based on whether it reasonably expects to be recoverable. The Company expects that the amount written off will not be materially reversed. However, the written-off financial assets can still be enforced to comply with the procedures for the Company to recover the overdue amount.
- (5) Derecognition of Financial Assets
The Company only derecognizes the financial assets when the contractual rights of the assets ’ cash flow are terminated, or when the financial assets have been transferred and almost all the risks and remuneration of the ownership of the asset have been transferred to other enterprises, or when almost all the risks and remuneration of the ownership have not been transferred or retained, and the control of the financial assets have not been retained.
When the Company enters into a transaction to transfer financial assets, if it retains all or almost all of the risks and remuneration of ownership of the transferred assets, it will continue to be recognized in the balance sheet.

Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments
-
(1) Classification of Liabilities or Equities
The debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of contractual arrangements and the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
- (2) Equity Transactions
Equity instruments refer to any contracts containing residual interest after the Consolidated Company subtracts liabilities from assets. The equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the price obtained deduct the direct issue cost.
-
(3) Financial Liabilities
-
Financial liabilities are classified as amortized costs or the fair value measurement through profit or loss. Financial liabilities, if held for trading, derivatives or designated at the time of initial recognition, are classified as the fair value measurement through profit or loss. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are the fair value measurement, and the related net profit and loss, including any interest paid, are recognized in profit and loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expenses and exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any profit or loss at the time of derecognize is also recognized in profit and loss.
-
(4) Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when the contractual obligations have been fulfilled, canceled or matured. When the provisions of financial liabilities are revised and there is a material difference in the cash flow of the modified liabilities, the initial financial liabilities shall be derecognized, and the new financial liabilities shall be recognized at fair value based on the revised provisions.
When a financial liability is derecognized, the difference between the carrying amount and the total consideration paid or payable (including any non-cash asset transferred or liability assumed) is recognized as profit or loss.
-
(5) Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
-
Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be offset against each other and expressed in the net amount in the balance sheet only when the Company currently has the legally enforceable rights to offset and has the intention for netting settlement or realizing assets and settlement at the same time.
-
(6) Financial Guarantee Contract
A financial guarantee contract refers to a contract that the issuer must pay a specific amount to reimburse the loss of the holder when the specific debtor is due and unable to repay according to the terms of the debt instrument.
The financial guarantee contract issued by the Company that is not designated as a fair value measurement through profit or loss are initially measured at its fair value minus directly attributable transaction costs, and subsequently measured at the higher of the following: (a) according to the amount of loss allowance
- 195 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
determined in IFRS 9; and (b) the amount initially recognized, when applicable, deduct the amount of accumulated income recognized under the following income principles.
(6) Investee
In preparing parent company only financial reports, the Company adopts equity method evaluation for controlled investees. By the equity method, the current profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the individual financial report shall be the same as the allocation of other comprehensive income attributable to the parent company owners in the combined financial report, and the owners ’ equity in the parent company only financial report shall be the same as the equity attributable to the parent company's owners in the combined financial report.
Where the change of the ownership interest and interests of the Company to a subsidiary does not result in the loss of control, it shall be treated as an equity transaction with the owner.
- (7) Investment Property
Investment property refers to property held for earning rent or asset appreciation or both, rather than for normal business sale, production, provision of goods or services, or administrative purposes. Investment property is initially measured by cost and subsequently measured by cost minus accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Its depreciation method, service life, and residual value are treated following the provisions of property, plant, and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of the investment property (calculated by the difference between the net disposal proceed and the carrying amount of the item) is recognized in profit and loss.
Rental income from investment property is recognized in operating revenue on a straightline basis during the lease term. The lease incentive is recognized as part of the lease income during the lease term.
-
(8) Property, Plant and Equipment
-
Recognition and Measurement Property, plant, and equipment items are measured by cost (including capitalized borrowing costs) less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. When the useful life of a material component of property, plant, and equipment is different, it shall be treated as a separate item (main component) of property, plant, and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of the property, plant, and equipment is recognized in profit and loss.
- Subsequent Cost
Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when their future economic benefits are likely to flow into the Company.
- Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated by deducting the residual value from the asset cost and is recognized in profit or loss within the estimated useful life of each component using the straight-line method.
No depreciation shall be recognized for the land.
- 196 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
The estimated useful life of the current period and comparative periods are as follows:
-
(1) 5 to 53 years for houses and buildings
-
(2) 5 years for transportation equipment
-
(3) 3 to 5 years for other equipment
The Company shall review the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value on each reporting date, and make appropriate adjustments as necessary.
-
(9) Leases
-
Lease Judgment
-
The Company evaluates whether the contract is a lease or contains a lease on the contract establishment date. If the contract transfers control over the use of the identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the contract is a lease or contains a lease. To evaluate whether the contract is a lease, the Company evaluates the following items:
-
(1) The contract involves the use of an identified asset, which is explicitly designated in the contract or implicitly designated when it is available for use, and its substance can distinguish or represent all the actual production capacity. If the supplier poses substantive rights to replace the asset, the asset is not an identified asset; and
-
(2) Have the right to obtain almost all economic benefits from the use of identified assets throughout the use period; and
-
(3) Attain the right to dominate the use of identified assets when one of the following conditions is met:
-
The client has the right to dominate the use method of identified assets and the purpose of use throughout the use period.
-
The relevant decisions about the use method and purpose of use of the asset are determined in advance, and:
-
The client has the right to operate the asset throughout the use period, and the supplier has no right to change the operating instructions; or
-
The client's plan on how to use the asset and purpose of use has determined in advance for the entire period of use.
-
-
-
On the date of the lease establishment or when reassessing whether the contract includes a lease, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to the individual lease components based on the relative individual price. However, when renting land and buildings, the Company chose not to distinguish between non-lease components and treated the lease component and non-lease component as a single lease component.
- Lessee
The Company recognizes the right-of-use asset and the lease liability on the inception of the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which includes the initial measured amount of the lease liability, adjusts any lease benefits paid on or before the inception of the lease, and adds the initial direct cost incurred and the estimated cost of dismantling, removing the underlying asset and restoring its location or underlying asset, and deducting any leasing incentives received.
- 197 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated by the straight-line method from the inception of the lease to the expiration of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the earlier of the lease term. Also, the Company shall regularly assess whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and processes any impairment loss that has occurred, and cooperates to adjust the right-of-use asset when the lease liability is remeasured.
Lease liabilities are primitively measured by the present value of the unpaid lease benefits on the inception of the lease. If the interest rate implicit in the lease is easy to determine, the discount rate shall be the interest rate; if it is not easy to determine, the incremental borrowing rate of interest of the Consolidated Company shall be used. Generally speaking, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate of interest as the discount rate.
Lease benefits included in the measurement of lease liabilities consist of:
-
(1) Fixed benefits, including substantial fixed benefits;
-
(2) The variable lease benefits depend on an index or rate, and the index or rate on the inception of the lease is applied as the initial measurement;
-
(3) The residual guarantee amount expected to be paid; and
-
(4) When reasonably determined that the purchase option or lease termination option will be exercised, the exercise price or the penalty payable.
The lease liability subsequently accrues interest with the effective interest method, and its amount is measured when the following occurs:
-
(1) Changes in the index or rate used to determine lease benefits result in changes in future lease benefits;
-
(2) The residual guarantee amount expected to be paid has changed;
-
(3) The evaluation of the underlying asset purchase option has changed;
-
(4) The assessment of whether to exercise the option of extension or termination has changed, and alter the assessment of the lease term;
-
(5) Modification of the subject matter, scope, or other terms of the lease.
When the lease liability is remeasured due to the above changes in the index or rate used to determine the lease benefits, changes in the residual guarantee amount, and changes in the evaluation of the purchase, extension or termination option, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset shall be adjusted accordingly, and when the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the surplus remeasured amount shall be recognized in profit and loss.
For the lease modification of reducing the lease scope, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and the difference between it and the remeasurement amount of the lease liability is recognized in profit and loss.
The Company expresses the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities that do not meet the definition of investment property as separate line items in the balance sheet.
- 198 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
For short-term leases of office equipment and leases of low-value underlying assets, the Consolidated Company chooses not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, but to recognize the related lease benefits as expenses on the straight-line basis during the lease term.
- Lessor
For transactions in which the Company is the lessor, it is to classify the tenancy agreement according to whether it transfers almost all risks and remuneration attached to the ownership of the underlying asset on the lease establishment date. If so, it is classified as a financial lease, otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease. At the time of evaluation, the Company's considerations include relevant specific indicators, such as whether it covers the main component of the economic life of the underlying asset during the lease term.
If the Company is a sublease lessor, the main lease and sublease transactions are processed separately, and the classification of the sublease transaction is evaluated by the right-of-use asset generated by the main lease. If the main lease is a short-term lease and the recognition exemption applies, the sublease transaction should be classified as an operating lease.
If the agreement includes leasing and non-leasing components, the Company shall employ the provisions of IFRS 15 to share the consideration in the contract.
- (10) Impairments of Non-Financial Assets
The Company assesses on each reporting date whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of non-financial assets (other than inventory, contractual assets, and deferred income tax assets) may be impaired. If any indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Goodwill is regularly tested for impairment every year.
The purpose of the impairment test, a group of assets whose cash inflow is mostly independent of other individual assets or asset groups, is regarded as the smallest identifiable asset group. Goodwill acquired from a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergy combination.
The recoverable amount of an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its use-value. When evaluating the use-value, the estimated future cash flow is converted to the present value at the pre-tax discount rate, which should reflect the current market's evaluation of the time value of money and the specific risk of the asset or cash-generating unit.
If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
The impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit and loss, and first reduces the carrying amount of the goodwill of the cash-generating unit, and then reduces the carrying amount of each asset in proportion to the carrying amount of other assets in the unit.
No reversal of impairment loss on goodwill Non-financial assets except for goodwill are reversed only to the extent that they do not exceed the carrying amount (minus depreciation or amortization) determined if the asset had not recognized impairment losses in previous years.
- 199 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
(11) Provisions
The recognition of provisions means a current obligation for past events so that in the future the Company is most likely to outflow resources with economic benefits to settle it, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. The provision is discounted at a pretax discount rate that reflects the current market's assessment of the time value of money and the specific risk of liabilities. The amortization of the discount is recognized as interest expense.
The warranty provision is recognized at the completion of the construction and is measured at correlation probability weighting according to the historical warranty data and all possible results.
-
(12) Revenue Recognition
-
Revenue from Contracts with Clients
The revenue is measured by the consideration expected to be entitled to for the transfer of goods or services. The Company recognizes the revenue when the control over goods or services is transferred to the client, and the performance obligations are met. The main revenue items of the Company are described as follows:
(1) Labor Services
The Company provides business management services and recognizes the relevant revenue during the financial reporting period of providing labor services. Fixed-price contracts recognize the revenue based on the proportion of actual services provided to the total services as of the reporting date, which is determined by the proportion of costs incurred to the estimated total costs of transactions.
If the situation changes, the estimates of revenue, cost, and degree of completion will be revised, and the increase or decrease caused during the period when the management is informed of the change will be reflected in profit and loss.
Under a fixed-price contract, the client pays a fixed amount of money according to the agreed schedule. When the service provided exceeds the payment, the contract assets shall be recognized. When the payment exceeds the service provided, the contract liabilities shall be recognized.
- (2) Construction Contracts
The Company is engaged in the contracting business of residential property and public construction. Since the assets are under the control of clients at the time of construction, the revenue is gradually recognized over time based on the proportion of the construction costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs. The contract includes fixed and variable consideration. The client pays a fixed amount of money according to the agreed schedule. Some variable consideration (such as penalty and price adjustment calculated based on overdue days) is estimated by the expected value based on the accumulated experience in the past. the Company recognizes revenue only within the range where the accumulated income is highly unlikely to have a material reversal. If the amount of recognized revenue has not yet been claimed, it shall be recognized as a contract asset. When there is an unconditional right to the consideration, the contract asset shall be transferred to the accounts receivable.
If it is unable to reasonably measure the completion degree of the performance
- 200 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
obligation of the construction contract, the contract revenue shall only be recognized within the scope of the expected recoverable cost.
When the Company foresees that the inevitable cost of fulfilling the obligations of a construction contract exceeds the expected economic benefits from the contract, the liability reserve of the loss-making contract is recognized.
If the situation changes, the estimates of revenue, cost, and degree of completion will be revised, and the increase or decrease will be reflected in profit and loss during the period when the management is informed of the change.
The Company provides a standard warranty for residential property and public construction in line with the agreed specifications and has recognized the warranty liability reserve for this obligation. Please refer to Note 6 (9) for details.
- Cost of Client Contracts
Cost of Fulfilling Contracts
If the cost of fulfilling client contracts is not within the scope of other standards (IAS 2 "inventory", IAS 16 "property, plant and equipment", or IAS 38 "intangible assets"), the Company shall only recognize such cost as an asset when it is directly related to contract or explicitly identifiable expected contract, which will be generating or strengthening resources for future satisfaction (or continuous satisfaction) of performance obligations, and expected to be recoverable.
The general and management costs, the costs of wasted raw materials, labor or other resources used to perform the contract but not reflected in the contract price, the costs related to the fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) performance obligation and the costs related to unfulfilled performance obligation or fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) performance obligation that cannot be distinguished are recognized as an expense when incurred.
-
(13) Employee Benefits
-
Defined Contribution Plan
- The contribution obligation of the defined contribution plan is recognized as an expense during the period of service provided by the employee.
-
Defined Benefit Plan
The net obligation of the Company to determine the benefit plan is calculated by converting the future benefit amount earned by the employee in the current period or the previous period into the present value for each benefit plan and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation result may be beneficial to the Company, the recognized assets shall be limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunding the contribution from the plan or reducing the future contribution to the plan. When calculating the present value of economic benefits, any minimum funding requirements are considered.
The remeasurement of net defined benefit liabilities, including actuarial gains and losses, plan asset returns (excluding interest), and any changes in the impact of the asset ceiling (excluding interest), are immediately recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in retained earnings. The net interest expense (income) of
- 201 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) determined by the Company is the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) and the discount rate determined at the beginning of the annual reporting period. The net interest paid and other expenses of the benefit plan are recognized in profit and loss.
When the plan is amended or reduced, the number of benefits changes related to past service costs or reduced benefits or losses shall be recognized as profit or loss immediately. When the settlement occurs, the Company shall recognize the settlement profit and loss of the defined benefit plan.
- Short-term Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are recognized as expenses when services are provided. If the Company has current legal or constructive payment obligations due to the past services provided by employees and the obligations can be estimated reliably, the amount shall be recognized as liabilities.
- (14) Income Tax
Income tax includes current and deferred income tax. Except for items related to the Consolidated Company and directly recognized into equity or other comprehensive incomes, current and deferred income tax shall be recognized in profit or loss.
Current income tax includes the estimated income tax payable or tax refund receivable calculated based on the taxable income (loss) of the current year, and any adjustments to income tax payable or tax refund receivable in previous years. The amount is the best estimate of the expected payment or receipt based on the legal tax rate or substantively enacted tax rate on the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is measured and recognized on the temporary difference between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax base. The temporary difference for the following conditions will not be recognized as deferred income tax:
-
Assets or liabilities initially recognized in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect accounting profit and taxable income (loss);
-
Due to temporary differences arising from investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture interests, the Company can control the reversing point of temporary differences and is likely not to revert in the foreseeable future; and
-
The taxable temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred income tax is measured by the tax rate when the expected temporary difference is reversed and is based on the legal tax rate or substantively enacted tax rate on the reporting date.
The Company only offsets the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities when the following conditions are met simultaneously:
-
Have the legally enforceable right to offset the current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities against each other; and
-
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to one of the following taxpayers levied by the same taxation authority:
-
202 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
-
(1) Same taxpayer; or
-
(2) Different taxpayers, yet each taxpayer intends to settle current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or realize assets and settle liabilities at the same time in each future period when a material amount of deferred income tax assets are expected to be recovered, and deferred income tax liabilities are expected to be settled.
For unused tax losses and unused income tax deduction at the later stage of the transfer and deductible temporary differences, they are recognized as deferred income tax assets to the extent that there is likely to be future taxable income available for use. On each reporting day, it shall be reassessed to reduce the relevant income tax benefits to the extent that they are not likely to be realized or to revert the reduced amount to the extent that they are likely to become sufficient taxable income.
- (15) Earnings per Share
The Company presents the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company's common equity holders. The basic earnings per share of the Company are calculated by dividing the profit and loss attributable to the Company's common equity holders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares in the current period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the profit and loss attributable to the common equity holders of the Company and the weighted average number of outstanding common shares, respectively, after adjusting the impact of all potential diluted common equity.
- (16) Segment Information
The Company has disclosed segment information in the consolidated financial reports, so the parent company only financial reports do not disclose segment information.
5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation and Assumption Uncertainty
The management must make judgments, estimates, and assumptions when preparing the parent company only financial statements under the “ Preparation Standards of Financial Reports for Securities Issuers, ” which will have an impact on the adoption of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, earnings, and expenses. The actual results may differ from the estimates.
The management continuously reviews estimates and basic assumptions, and changes in accounting estimates are recognized during the period of change and the future period affected. The following assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, of which the details are as follows:
- (1) Revenue Recognition
The recognition of the profit and loss of the construction contract of the Company refers to the recognition of the contract revenue and the contract cost respectively according to the complete degree of the contractual activities and the degree of completion is measured by the proportion of the contract cost incurred so far in the estimated total contract cost. The Company considers the nature, estimated duration, contract projects, construction process, construction method, and estimated contract amount of each project to estimate the total
- 203 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
contract cost. The above estimation basis is subject to change due to conditions of work, overall price fluctuations, and owner requirements.
The accounting policy and disclosure of the Company include the adoption of fair value measurement on financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company verifies the independent source data to make the evaluation result close to the market status, confirms that the data source is independent, reliable, consistent with other resources and represents the executable price, and regularly calibrates the evaluation model, conducts back testing, updates the input value and data required by the evaluation model and any other necessary fair value adjustments to ensure that the evaluation result is reasonable. For investment property, the Company evaluates it periodically or entrusts an external appraiser to evaluate it according to the evaluation method and parameter hypothesis announced by the FSC.
In measuring the assets and liabilities, the Company will employ the observable input value in the market as much as possible. The level of fair value is classified as follows based on the input value adopted by the evaluation technology:
-
Level 1: The public offer price (unadjusted) of the same asset or liability in the active market.
-
Level 2: In addition to the public offer price included in level 1, the input parameters of assets or liabilities are directly (namely price) or indirectly (namely derived from price) observable.
-
Level 3: Input parameters of assets or liabilities are not based on observable market data (non-observable parameters).
In case of any transfer event or situation of fair value between different levels, the Company shall recognize such transfer on the reporting date.
Please refer to the following notes for information about the assumptions used to measure fair value:

-
(II) Note 6 (18), financial instrument

The fair value of investment property is based on the evaluation of the independent appraisers (with a relevant professional qualification accredited) or of the Company through the comprehensive consideration by the comparative method (taking into account the information of the deal price of the real estate agent and the actual price registration of the Ministry of the Interior). The input value used in the fair value evaluation technique belongs to Level 3.
The fair value is evaluated by the income approach. In the absence of the current price in the active market, the evaluation considers the total aggregate estimated cash flow received from the lease of the property and discounts it with the earning rate that reflects the specific risks inherent in the net cash flow to determine the value of the property. The discount rate applied for the years ended on December 31, 2020, and 2019 ranged from 1.18% to 1.19%.

- Interest Rate Analysis
The risk of interest rate exposure on the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company is described in the liquidity risk management of this note.
The following sensitivity analysis is determined by the interest rate risk exposure of derivative and non-derivative instruments on the reporting date.

The rate of change used in reporting the interest rate to the key management within the Company is 0.5% increase or decrease in the interest rate, which also signifies the management's evaluation of the reasonable range of likely fluctuations in the interest rate.
- Other Price Risk
On the reporting date, if the price of equity securities fluctuates (two periods of analysis are based on the same basis, assuming that other variable factors remain unchanged), the impact on the comprehensive profit and loss items is as follows:

- (2) Fair value evaluation technique of financial instruments measured at fair value Non-derivative financial instruments
If a financial instrument has a quoted price in an active market, then the active market quotation shall be the fair value. The market price of the major Exchanges and the market price of popular central government bonds judged and released by the Taipei Exchange, which is the basis of the fair values of TWSE/TPEx listed equity instruments and debt instruments with active market quotations.
If the public quotation of a financial instrument can be obtained from an exchange, broker, underwriter, industry association, pricing service agency or
- 220 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
competent authority in a timely and frequent manner, and the price represents the actual and regular fair market transactions, then the financial instrument has an active market quotation. If the above conditions are not met, the market is deemed not active. Generally speaking, large difference in buying and selling price, significant increase of buying and selling price, and few transactions are indexes of market not active.
If the financial instruments held by the Company fit into an active market, their fair values are listed according to the categories and attributes as follows :
The stock of a TWSE/TPEx listed company is a financial asset with standard terms and traded in an active market, and its fair value is determined by reference to the market quotation.
In addition to the aforementioned financial instruments with an active market, the fair value of other financial instruments is acquired by valuation technique or by reference to the counterparty quotes. The fair value acquired through valuation technique can refer to the current fair value, the discounted cash flow method or other valuation techniques for financial instruments with similar substantive conditions and characteristics in essence, including the market information available on the reporting date using the model (such as the reference yield curve of the OTC market and the average quotation of Reuters commercial promissory note rate).
If the financial instruments held by the Company do not fit into the active market, their fair values are listed according to the categories and attributes as follows :
The equity instrument without public quotation: The discounted cash flow model is used to estimate fair value. Its main assumption is that the expected future cash flow of the investee will be measured by discounting the rate of return, reflecting the time value of money and investment risk.
The equity instrument without public quotation: The market comparable company approach is used to estimate the fair value. Its main assumption is based on the estimated earnings before tax, interest, depreciation, and amortization of the investee and the earnings multiplier derived from the market quotation of comparable TWSE/TPEx listed companies. This estimate has adjusted the discount effect of the lack of market liquidity of the equity securities.

Risk Management Framework
-
(1) Risk management policies:
In the process of operation, enterprises often encounter many uncertain factors that may threaten their operations. In order to perceive and control them as early as possible and reduce the losses caused by the occurrence of risks, a good risk management policy is essential. The Board of Directors of the Company establishes the overall risk management policy in line with the operating strategy, operating environment and department plan. Its main subjects include the aspects of the environment, internal and external operational flow, and strategic decision-making, etc. Furthermore, the Board of Directors shall put forward risk management reports on the resolutions, deliverables, supervision, and subsequent execution process of various risk management issues. So when the future operation and management encounter similar or the same problems, it can refer to the experience and propose better solutions.
- (2)Organizational structure of risk management:
Each hierarchy level or department of the Company shall be responsible for the risks. Once the situation is found to be wrong, it shall promptly report to the auditing office or the senior executive and seek solutions as soon as possible. The decision-maker shall also take action within the shortest time.
The organizational structure of risk management of the Company is as follows:
| Name of Organization | Scope of Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| The Board of Directors | Establish risk management policies and ensure the effective operation and resource allocation of risk management mechanism |
| Senior Management | Implement risk management decisions of the Board of Directors Coordinate risk management affairs across departments |
| Auditing Office | Conduct daily risk management audit Supervise risk management activities and report the implementation to the Board of Directors and Supervisors |
| Other Departments | Consolidate the implementation results of risk management activities Conduct daily risk management operations Determine the risk category depending on environmental changes, and propose the undertaking plan |
3. Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss due to the failure of the Company's clients or counterparties of financial instruments to perform their contractual obligations. It mainly comes from the accounts receivable from clients and securities investment of the Company.
- (1) Accounts receivable and other receivables
The credit risk exposure of the Company is primarily affected by the individual circumstances of each client. The management also considers the statistical data of the Company's client base, including the default risk of the client's industry and country, as these factors may affect the credit risk. In order to reduce the credit risk of receivables, the Company continuously assesses the financial status of its clients and requires the counterparty to provide collaterals or guarantees when necessary.
- 222 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
- (2) Investment
The credit risks of bank deposits, fixed-income investments, and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the financial department of the Company. Given that the trading counterpart and the contract performing party of the Company are financial institutions, corporate organizations, and government agencies with good credit, there is no material credit risk because there is no significant doubt about the contract performance.
- (3) Guarantee
The Company ’ s policy stipulates that financial guarantee can only be provided to fully-owned affiliated companies and companies with business interaction. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the endorsement guarantee provided by the Company was both NT$14,192,000.
- Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company is unable to deliver cash or other financial assets to settle financial liabilities and fails to perform relevant obligations. The method of managing the liquidity of the Company is to ensure that the Company has sufficient circulating capital to pay for its due liabilities under normal and stressful conditions, without any risk of unacceptable loss or damage to the reputation of the Company.
Generally speaking, the Company ensures that there is sufficient cash to meet the needs of expected operating expenses, including the performance of financial obligations, but excluding the potential impact that cannot be reasonably expected under extreme circumstances, such as natural disasters. Moreover, the unused comprehensive loan facilities (including NTD loans, letters of credit, and commercial paper facilities) of the Company on December 31, 2020, and 2019 totaled NT$4,488,003,000 and NT$3,671,975,000.
- Market Risk
Market risk refers to the risk that changes in market prices, such as exchange rate, interest rate, and equity instrument price will affect the earnings of the Company or the value of the financial instruments it holds. The goal of market risk management is to control the market risk to an acceptable extent and optimize the return on investment.
- (1) Interest rate risk
The policy of the Company is to ensure that the risk of borrowing interest rate fluctuation is based on fixed interest rates. To achieve this goal, part of this is through the signing of fixed interest rate instruments, and part is through the borrowing floating interest rates, and the use of interest rate swap contracts is attributed to avoid the cash flow variability due to interest rate fluctuations.
- (2) Other market price risks
The Company has the risk of exposure in equity price due to the equity securities investment of TWSE/TPEx listed companies. The equity investment is not held for trading but a strategic investment. The Company has not actively traded such investments, and the managing personnel of the Company manage the risks by holding different risk investment portfolios.
- 223 -
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of KEDGE CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. (continued)
(20) Capital management
The goal of the capital management of the Company is to ensure the ability to sustain operation to continuously offer the shareholders' remuneration and other stakeholders' interests and to maintain the best capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or recapitalize structure, the Company may adjust the dividends paid to the shareholders, refund of capital reduction to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle the liabilities.
The Company is the same as its peers and uses debt to capital ratio as the foundation of capital control. The ratio is calculated by dividing net indebtedness over the capitalization. Net indebtedness is the total liabilities, shown in the balance sheets, less cash and cash equivalents. Capitalization is the entire component of equity (that is, equity, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity) plus net indebtedness.
The capital management strategy of the Company in 2020 is consistent with that in 2019, to ensure financing at a reasonable cost. The debt to capital ratios at December 31, 2020, and 2019 are as follows:
| and 2019 are as follows: | |||

VI. The Risks and Analysis and Assessment during the Most Recent Fiscal Year or During the Current Fiscal Year up to the Date of Publication of the Annual Report:
-
(I) The effect upon the Company's profits (losses) of interest and exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the inflation rate, and response measures to be taken in the future: The main source of working capital raised by the merged company is from the operation. The interest expense for 2020 of NT$3,009 thousand is mainly from the bank guarantee loans. At present, the interest rate fluctuation of the central bank is small and the change of the benchmark interest rate of financial institutions is limited, thus the merged company is able to maintain an appropriate portfolio of fixed and floating interest rates, and adopts a cost-effective strategy to avoid the occurrence of material interest rate movements that would have a material impact on profits and losses.
- The merged company is a comprehensive construction enterprise, of which the contracted projects are domestic public works and civil construction projects, the raw materials are mainly obtained in the domestic market, hence the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on it is minimal. In addition, the rise and fall of raw materials purchased in Taiwan in recent years can be offset by each other and the Taiwan inflation is still mild. Therefore, the short-term profit and loss of the merged company is not significantly affected.
-
(II) The Company's policy regarding high-risk investments, highly leveraged investments, loans to other parties, endorsements, guarantees, and derivatives transactions; the main reasons for the profits/losses generated thereby; and response measures to be taken in the future:
-
237 -
The merged company is committed to the development of its own industry and does not engage in high-risk and highly leveraged investments, capital lending to others or derivative trading. Endorsement/guarantee are mainly provided for the project contracting business needs and is in accordance with the Operational Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees and the relevant provisions of the competent authority, the object of which is mainly affiliated enterprises and companies with business transactions, whose operation and financial conditions are normal, performance and solvency are not in danger, and no loss is incurred by endorsement and guarantee.
- (III) Research and Development Work to be Carried out in the Future, and Further Expenditures Expected for Research and Development Work:
The merged company is a comprehensive construction enterprise, and the research and development is mainly focused on shortening the construction period, improving the construction method, reducing pollution and improving efficiency. The improvement of the construction method and production technology is independently developed by the Technical Research and Development Division or introduced from the cooperative manufacturers. In recent years, in addition to strengthening the comprehensive computerization, the Company introduces the public works management system for management, which have been fully introduced to all sites at present; the Company will also actively implement the following plans in the future with an estimated input of manpower and resources of NT$15 million approximately.
