I A letter to Shareholders

Dear sir and madam:

The consolidated operating revenue in 2020 was NT$ 4,533,370,000, consolidated gross income from operations was NT$ 447,475,000 and consolidated profit was NT$ 392,269,000. The Company actively renovated the business strategies and operating guidelines to reduce operating costs, and showed results with the team efforts of all our colleagues in 2020. The consolidated revenue has grown by more than 20% compared to 2019, and earnings per share have increased significantly from NT$ 0.11 in 2019 to NT$ 0.97 in 2020.

Looking back in 2020, the world economy has been severely impacted by the COVID-19, the major economies around the world has experienced tremondous decline due to various epidemic prevention measures such as countries and cities lockdown, suspension of social activities and so on. However, Taiwan’s economic activities had little impacted due to appropriate epidemic prevention measures. In the past two years, subjected to the China-US trade war and de-sinicization/de-Americanization, Taiwanese businesses continued to return home and increased investment amount, which driven domestic demand in commercial offices and factory offices up. Because of the low interest rate environment created by the Easy money policy policy of Central Banks in many countries, Taiwan’s real estate market was also showing signs of recovery, caused the price and volume of domestic cement and ready-mixed concrete market went up. Under this circumstance, the Company had aggressively adjusted the operating strategies. The Company performance in 2020 is far better than in 2019.

Looking forward to 2021, according to the forecast of the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan, Taiwan economic growth rate will be 4.64% in 2021 and the overall economic situation is still looking good. The domestic cement and readymixed concrete market, driven by the emand ofd the housing market, commercial offices, factories and public works, should be able to maintain at stable trend. But the cement industry still faces many challenges. The Company will keep moving forward to all kinds of operating strategies, such as improving factory production equipment, enhancing efficiency, complying with environmental protection requirements, optimizing train logistics, improving production scheduling for cost down, deploying ready-mixed concrete sales channels, and plowing the domestic market. The Company will pay more attention on the issue of sustainable develpment of ESG, hopes through all the strategic operations and all colleagues’ effort, we will continue to have the better performance in 2021.

Lastly, we give best wishes for good health and good luck to all the shareholders. Thank you.

Chairman CHEN, LIANG-CHUAN

2. Industry Overview

  • (1) Industry Status and Development

Cement industry have reached maturity, and there is still a certain demand under the economic policy and civil construction of the government plans.

Cement industry is the basic industry of people's livelihood and the national construction, from residential to various public works, defense facilities are all based on cement as the basic building materials. With the bulky volume, high transport costs, not durable storage, the sale of the cement is mainly domestic sales, so it is a domestic demand industry, the prosperity and decline of the industry depends on the driving of the business of the construction industry and public works.

  • 52 -

The prosperity in the cement products market which is downstream of the cement industry is highly related to the cement market. The sandstone price which is the highest proportion of the production cost is deeply affected by the import sandstone volume from Mainland China and also affected the final sales price of cement products.

The production plant of the Company is located in Dongao, Yilan County, and the limestone source is from Heren, Hualien County. In recent years, due to the impact of the environmental and resource constraints, local tax increase and related cost in accordance with tightened Mining Law, thereby the cost of limestone raw materials has been increasing.

Looking forward to 2021, due to Taiwanese firms leave China and bring their investments home, which is conducive to the increase in domestic demand, and the government's promotion of public works and the appropriate measures to prevent the Covid-19, the 2021 cement market is still optimistic.

The combination of the Company and its subsidiary companies of Dasheng Enterprise Co., Ltd., Luckicon Ready-mixed Concrete Factory Co., Ltd. and Luckyship Marine Co., Ltd. is a business strategy with vertical integration.

  • (3) Product Trends and Competition

  • For a long time, there has not been a considerable product can completely replace the use of cement, but in order to reduce costs, the ready mixed concrete industry adds slag powder, and besides the production of cement, the Company also produces slag powder to supply the needs of the industry to make up for reduced cement sales.

The mass and weight of cement and slag powder products are heavy, which is a local industry. In addition to improving production efficiency, reducing cost and maintaining quality. In order to provide customers with products quickly, the Company will continue to optimize logistics conditions, improve capabilities of product scheduling and increase overall competitiveness.

3. Overview of Technology and R&D

  • 1 The Company has no technical and R&D expenses incurred during the year of 2020.

  • 2 No R&D plan in the next three years.

4. Long-term and Short-term Development

  • 1 Short-term development

  • 53 -

Taiwan has entered the developed country stage, the domestic cement industry is not easy to grow substantially. The Company will continue to optimize logistics conditions, improve product despatching capabilities to satisfy customer's request. In addition, cooperate with the distribution-channel creation of the ready-mix plant to maintain market share, and continuously promote the land development projects of the Subsidiary Dasheng Enterprise Co., Ltd. to increase return on investment.

  • 2 Long-term Development

  •  For sustainable operation, actively invest in capital expenditures, improve equipment to increase production efficiency, and reduce production costs. Fully use the advantages of the rich and fine limestone in the Horen Mine Plant, and develop sandstone and other raw material-related products to increase revenue and profits.

  •  Apply the three high process characteristics of cement kiln "high temperature, high residence time, high turbulence", combine with the waste disposal business, strive for high gross profit orders, and increase the use of alternative fuels and raw materials for renewable resources, continue to develop the value chain of circular economy and increase profitability.

Analysis of financial ratio differences for the last two years. (Not required if the difference does not exceed 20%)
This year, due to increased market demand and cost control, both revenue and gross profit have increased
compared with last year. Related profitability indicators such as return on asset, return on equity, ratio of net
profit before tax to paid-in capital, profit ratio, and earnings per share have all increased significantly compared
with last year. The growth of operating activities has led to a substantial increase in net cash flows from
operating activities, leading to an increase in the cash flow ratio. The growth in revenue and net operating
income and the decrease in overall borrowing also increased the interest coverage ratio, while the operating
leverage and the financial leverage decreased.
In terms of investment activities, the Company’s capital expenditures increased due to the construction of
factories, fixed assets and related short-term payables increased, resulting in a decline in the ratio of long-term
capital to fixed assets and the current ratio, which also led to a decline in the cash flow adequacy ratio and an
increase in the cash reinvestment ratio.

6.4 2020 Parent Company Only Financial Statements

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders Lucky Cement Co.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Lucky Cement Co. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis of Opinion

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The descriptions of the key audit matters of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

The Existence of Sales Revenue from Key Customers

The Company’s sales revenue mainly comes from merchandise sales of cement, stone materials and other cement subsidiary products. The amount of the sales revenue in 2020

  • �� -

arising from the new key customers or customers whose sales revenue increased over Performance Materiality is NT$634,069,000, as 19% of the total sales revenue. Since the sales revenue from key customers fluctuates and whether the revenue has truly occurred is the presumed significant risk of the ISA, the key audit matters are listed.

Please refer to Note 4 (11) of the financial statement for accounting policies of the revenue recognition; Note 22 (1) for the disclosure related to the revenue.

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:

  1. Understood the internal control system of the sale of goods and assessed the design and effectiveness of the implementation of the internal control.

  2. Gained the summary of sales transactions of the key customers across the year, adjusted and ensured the completeness of related transactions. In addition, selecting the samples from the summary, and reviewing the evidence and vouchers to verify the existence of sales revenue.

  3. Obtained the post-period general ledger of sales revenue, inspecting whether significant sales return and allowance incurred, to ensure the accuracy of the revenue recognition.

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

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

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

Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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

  • �� -

statements.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • �� -

independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hai-Yueh Huang and Chao-Mei Chen.

  • 84 -

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

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

  • b. Basis of preparation

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

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

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

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

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

When preparing the Company’s financial statements, the Company accounts for its investments in subsidiaries by using the equity method. In order for the amounts of the net profit and other comprehensive income and equity for the year in the Company’s financial statements to be the same as the amounts attributable to the parent company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in the accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis were made to the investments accounted for by the equity method, the share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and the related equity items, as appropriate, in the parent company only financial statements.

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

Current assets include:

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

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

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

Current liabilities include:

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

  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and

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

  • 85 -

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

d. Foreign currencies

Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

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

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated.

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

e. Inventories

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

  • f. Investment in subsidiaries

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries.

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

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

Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are equity transactions. The Company recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying amount of the investments and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.

When the Company’s share of losses of a subsidiary exceeds its interest in that subsidiary (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues recognizing its share of further losses, if any.

  • 86 -

Profits or losses resulting from downstream transactions are eliminated in full only in the parent company’s financial statements. Profits and losses resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries are recognized only in the parent company’s financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.

  • g. Property, plant and equipment

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

Except for freehold land which is not depreciated, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

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

  • h. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets

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

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

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

  • i. Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. To meet the criteria for the sale being highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to the sale, and the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within 1 year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Such assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated.

j. Financial instruments

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

  • 87 -

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

1) Financial assets

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

  • a) Measurement category

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

i. Financial asset at FVTPL

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

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 28.

  • ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • ii) Financial asset that is not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but has subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by

  • 88 -

applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.

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

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

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

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

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

  • iii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

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

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

  • b) Impairment of financial assets

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

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

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

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

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

  • 89 -

  • ii. When a financial asset is more than 181 days past due unless the Company has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.

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

c) Derecognition of financial assets

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

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

  • 2) Financial liabilities

  • a) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

  • b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

  • k. Revenue recognition

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

Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods comes from sales of cement, stone materials and other cement products. Sales of cement, stone materials and other cement products are recognized as revenue when the goods are shipped because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently.

  • l. Leasing

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

  • 1) The Company as lessor

Lease payments from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.

  • 90 -

2) The Company as lessee

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

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

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

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

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

m. Employee benefits

  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

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

2) Retirement benefits

Payments to the benefit plan are recognized as an expense when the employees have rendered service entitling them to the contribution.

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

The net defined benefit liability represents the actual deficit in the Company’s defined benefit plans.

  • n. Taxation

  • 91 -

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

1) Current tax

Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of tax jurisdiction.

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

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

  • 2) Deferred tax

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

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

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

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

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

  • 3) Current tax and deferred tax for the year

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

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

  • 92 -

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

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.

The Company did not have critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty that need to be reported.

(Concluded)

a. Notes receivable

The average credit period of sales of goods is 90-150 days. No interest is charged on notes receivable. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a team for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual note receivable at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Company’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Company applies the simplified approach under IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance for notes receivable at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on notes receivable are estimated using a provision matrix prepared by reference to the past default experience of the customer, the customer’s current financial position, as well as the GDP forecasts and industry outlook. As the Company’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Company’s different customer base. The expected created loss rate is based on the overdue days of the note receivable. However, the expected credit loss rate of the Company based on the provision matrix at the end of reporting period was zero because it did not recognize the expected credit losses of the notes receivable.

b. Trade receivables

The average credit period of sales of goods is 90-150 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a team for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts.

The Company applies the simplified approach under IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix prepared by reference to the past default experience of the customer, the customer’s current financial position, as well as the GDP forecasts and industry outlook.

  • 96 -

The Company’s provision matrixes are prepared by reference to the customer’s financial condition. The Group provides 100% loss allowance when there is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Since there are various customer segments, the Company uses provision matrixes based on customer segments and determines the expected credit loss rate by reference to past due days of accounts receivable.

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

The following table details the loss allowance of notes receivable, trade receivables, and overdue receivables based on the Company’s provision matrix.

c. Other receivables

Other receivables mainly include proceeds from sales of securities and guarantee deposits. The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with high credit ratings entities and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit rating information is obtained from its own historical trading records to rate its customers. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored.

The Company considers the current financial condition of debtors to determine the expected credit losses for debt instrument investments. As December 31, 2020 and 2019, the expected credit loss rate of other receivables was both 0%.

20. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

  • a. Defined contribution plan

The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, the Company makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

b. Defined benefit plan

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the “Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amount of the Company’s defined benefit plan is included in the balance sheets is as follows:

Present value of funded defined benefit obligation

Fair value of plan assets

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

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

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

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

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

Discount rate
Expected rate of salary increase
December 31
2020
2019
0.375%
0.625%
1.250%
1.250%

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

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

  • Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus and to once a year).

  • c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

The Company passed an amendment to its articles of incorporation (“Articles”) on June 12, 2019, which stipulates that the Company shall consider distribution of earnings or appropriation of earnings to a reserve at the end of the first half of the fiscal year or at the end of the fiscal year. The business report and financial statements should be submitted to the audit committee for review, and to the board of directors for resolution.

Under the dividends policy as set forth in the amended Articles, where the Company made a profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for the distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders. However, these stipulations shall not apply when the legal reserve amount has reached the authorized capital. The Company should also follow Article 240 of the

  • 108 -

Company Act in the case of distribution of earnings in the form of shares; in the case of distribution of earnings in cash, the board of directors is authorized to resolve the distribution of cash dividends; the resolution should be adopted by a majority vote in the meeting of the board of directors attended by two-thirds of all the directors, and then reported to the shareholders’ meeting.

According to the Articles, the Company should distribute earnings or make appropriation to a reserve based on financial statements audited or reviewed by an independent accountant.

The Company’s Articles stipulate that in the allocation of annual earnings, the Company shall first appropriate 10% of earnings to legal reserve and then appropriate to special reserve amount to cover deduction items in the equity, payment of business tax and to make up for past annual loss. From the remaining amount after the above allocation plus 40%-80% of unappropriated earnings in the previous year, no distribution will be made if the amount is less than NT$0.1 per share but will be retained in the unappropriated earnings. The board of directors shall propose distribution of dividends and the shareholders in their meeting shall approve the proposal. Refer to Note 23 (h), employee benefits, for the revised policy on the remuneration of employees and directors.

The appropriation and distribution of earnings and capital surplus as cash dividend or stock dividend shall be subject to real profit and fund situation in the current year, with consideration of fund for investment and possible dilution of earnings per share. The allocation for stock dividend shall be limited to 20% of the issued stock. In case there is deduction item in equity, the deduction item shall be first offset with earnings or capital surplus before making the appropriation and allocation. When equity deduction item is reversed, the reversed amount shall be allocated to capital surplus. The allocation of capital surplus shall be accounted in the current year and passed in the general meeting of shareholders in the next year.

The Company shall appropriate to or reverse from special reserve pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Letter No. Jin-Kuang-Fa-Tzi No. 1010012865, Letter No. Jin-Kuang-Fa-Tzi No. 1010047490 and “Following the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, questions and answers on special reserve”. When a deduction item in equity is reversed, the reversed amount may be allocated to capital surplus.

Legal reserve shall be appropriated until its balance reaches the gross amount of paid-in capital of the Company. Legal reserve shall be used to offset loss. If there is no loss, legal reserve in excess of 25% of the total paid-in capital may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

In their meeting on June 12, 2019, the Company’s shareholders adopted a loss recovery plan for 2018 and there was no distribution of dividends.

On November 12, 2019, the Company’s board of directors decided not to distribute dividends from the first half of 2019.

The appropriations of 2019 earnings have been resolved in the board of directors’ meeting held on March 24, 2020 and approved in the shareholders’ meeting held on June 18, 2020. The appropriation of earnings and dividend per share were as follows:

Appropriation Appropriation Dividend Per

Legal reserve $
4,590
Special reserve (3,121)
Cash dividends 60,711 $0.15

On November 11, 2020, the Company’s board of directors adopted the results of operations for the first half of 2020 and decided not to distribute dividends.

  • 3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement

The asset approach and comparable listed companies approach were used to calculate the fair values of investments in domestic unlisted equity instruments.

The comparable listed companies approach takes into account the transaction prices of shares of listed companies in an active market, the value multiplier implicit in the price and the liquidity discount when evaluating the fair value of the target company.

The asset approach assesses the total market value of individual assets and individual liabilities of the valuation target and considers the reduction of non-controlling interests and a reduction in liquidity to reflect the overall value of the entity or business.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s major financial instruments include equity investments, trade receivables, trade payables, borrowings and lease liabilities. The Company’s corporate treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, and monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports that analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

1) Market risk

The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below) and interest rates (see (2) below).

The exposure to market risk of the financial instruments of the Company and the management and measurement of the exposure have not changed.

a) Foreign currency risk

For the carrying amounts of monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies on the balance sheet date, refer to Note 33.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to the USD and RMB.

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the Company when the exchange rate of the New Taiwan dollar to the relevant foreign currency increases and decreases by 5%. The 5% sensitivity rate is used for reporting currency risk to key management personnel of the Company; the management believes it is the reasonably acceptable range of fluctuation of foreign currency rate. The negative amounts on the table below indicate a decrease in pre-tax income when the New Taiwan dollar strengthens by 5% relative to the relevant currency.

  • 121 -

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis shows the effect of a 25 basis points change in interest rates of non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. The 25 basis points is used in internal reports to key management personnel; it represents the reasonably possible change in interest rates acceptable to the management.

Had interest rates increased/decreased by 25 basis points, the profit before tax in 2020 and 2019 would have decreased/increased by $1,751 thousand and $2,411 thousand, respectively, with all other variables held constant; the non-derivative instruments include floating rate loan, demand deposit and restricted asset.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. At the end of the year, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Company due to the failure of the counterparty to discharge its obligation and due to the financial guarantees provided by the Company, could be equal to the total assets shown on the balance sheets.

The policy of the Company is to only trade with counterparties with high reputation, and to require sufficient guarantee to reduce the financial loss from default.

The following table shows the maximum exposure to endorsement made by the Company:

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, receivable accounts that each has a balance that represents 5% or higher of total receivables, when accumulated account for 42.15% and 45.95%, respectively, of total receivables.

3) Liquidity risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash deemed adequate to finance the Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

  • 122 -

The Company relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. The Company had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities set out in (b) below.

a) Liquidity and interest rate risk table

The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturities for its nonderivative financial liabilities with agreed upon repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Company is required to pay.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FCS) of the Republic of China.

Basis of Opinion

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The descriptions of the key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

The Existence of Sales Revenue from Key Customers

The Group’s sales revenue mainly comes from merchandise sales of cement, stone materials and other cement subsidiary products. The amount of the sales revenue in 2020 arising from the new key customers or customers whose sales revenue increased over Performance Materiality is NT$687,383,000, as 15% of the total sales revenue. Since the sales revenue from key customers fluctuates and whether the revenue has truly occurred is the presumed significant risk of the ISA, the key audit matters are listed.

  • 138 -

Please refer to Note 4 (11) of the consolidated financial statement for accounting policies of the revenue recognition; Note 23 (1) for the disclosure related to the operating revenue.

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:

  1. Understood the internal control system of the sale of goods and assessed the design and effectiveness of the implementation of the internal control.

  2. Gained the summary of sales transactions of the key customers across the year, adjusted and ensured the completeness of related transactions. In addition, selecting the samples from the summary, and reviewing the evidence and vouchers to verify the existence of sales revenue.

  3. Obtained the post-period general ledger of sales revenue, inspecting whether significant sales return and allowance incurred, to ensure the accuracy of the revenue recognition.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Lucky Cement Co. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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

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

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

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

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

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

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

  2. 139 -

forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2020 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hai-Yueh Huang and Chao-Mei Chen.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

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

b. Basis of preparation

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

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

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

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

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

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

Current assets include:

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

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

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

Current liabilities include:

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

  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and

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

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

The Group is also engaged in construction and development of properties; its operating cycle is longer than 1 year. Its assets and liabilities related to the construction business are not classified as current or non-current under normal operating cycle but presented according to the order of their perceived liquidity to non-liquidity.

  • 149 -

d. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e., its subsidiaries). Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Group and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

Refer Note 12 and Note 35(6) for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).

e. Foreign currencies

Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

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

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated.

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

f. Inventories

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

  • 150 -

inventories is calculated according to the proportion of an area to the total area of a building floor; the principle is to match construction cost with property sales revenue; operating costs are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

Land for development is classified as real estate to be developed while being prepared for construction, and classified as real estate under development when it is actively being developed and has obtained a construction permit.

g. Property, plant and equipment

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

Except for freehold land which is not depreciated, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

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

  • h. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use asset

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

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

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

i. Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. To meet the criteria for the sale being highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to the sale, and the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within 1 year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Such assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated.

  • 151 -

j. Financial instruments

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

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

1) Financial assets

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

a) Measurement category

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

i. Financial asset at FVTPL

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

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 29.

  • ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

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

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

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

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

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

  • 152 -

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • iii. Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at FVTOCI:

  • i) The debt instrument is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of such financial assets; and

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

Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amounts of these debt instruments relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of these debt instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of.

  • iv. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

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

  • 153 -

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

b) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) and investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI.

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

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

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

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

  • ii. When a financial asset is more than 181 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.

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

  • c) Derecognition of financial assets

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

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

  • 154 -

  • 2) Financial liabilities

  • a) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

  • b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

  • k. Revenue recognition

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

Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods comes from sales of cement, stone materials and other cement products. Sales of cement, stone materials and other cement products are recognized as revenue when the goods are shipped because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently.

  • l. Leasing

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

  • 1) The Group as lessor

Lease payments from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.

  • 2) The Group as lessee

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

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

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

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

  • 155 -

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

m. Borrowing costs

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

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

n. Employee benefits

1) Short-term employee benefits

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

  • 2) Retirement benefits

Payments to the benefit plan are recognized as an expense when the employees have rendered service entitling them to the contribution.

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

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

o. Taxation

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

1) Current tax

Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.

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

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

  • 156 -

provision.

2) Deferred tax

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

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

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

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

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

3) Current tax and deferred tax for the year

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

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

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

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.

The Group did not have critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty that need to be reported.

a. Notes receivable

The average credit period of sales of goods is 90-150 days. No interest is charged on notes receivable. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual note receivable at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Group applies the simplified approach under IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance for notes receivable at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on notes receivable are estimated using a provision matrix prepared by reference to the past default experience of the customer, the customer’s current financial position, as well as the GDP forecasts and industry outlook. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base. The expected credit loss rate is based on the overdue days of the notes receivable. However, the expected credit loss rate of the Group based on the provision matrix at the end of reporting period was zero because it did not recognize the expected credit losses of the notes receivable.

b. Trade receivables

The average credit period of sales of goods is 90-150 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts.

The Group applies the simplified approach under IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix prepared by reference to the past default experience of the customer, the customer’s current financial position, as well as the GDP forecasts and industry outlook. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base.

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

The following table details the loss allowance of notes receivable, trade receivables, and overdue receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix.

  • c. Other receivables

Other receivables mainly include proceeds from sales of securities and guarantee deposits. The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with high credit rating entities and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit rating information is obtained from its own historical trading records to rate its customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored.

The Group considers the current financial condition of debtors to determine the expected credit losses for debt instrument investments. As December 31, 2020 and 2019, the expected credit loss rate of other receivables was both 0%.

21. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

The Company, Dasheng Enterprise, Luckicon Ready-mixed Co., Luckyship Co, and Fuyu Development Co., Ltd. adopted the pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, the entities make monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

The employees of the Group in Japan are members of the retirement benefits program operated by the government of Japan. The subsidiary must allocate a specific percentage of salary costs to the retirement benefit plan to provide funding for the plan. The Group’s obligation for this government-operated retirement benefit plan is only to allocate a specific amount.

b. Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plans adopted by the Company, Dasheng Enterprise, and Luckicon Ready-mixed Co. in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company, Dasheng Enterprise, and Luckicon Ready-mixed Co. contribute amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Group assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Group is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the “Bureau”); the Group has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amount of the Group’s defined benefit plan is included in the balance sheets as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

Discount rate
Expected rate of salary increase
December 31
2020
2019
0.375%
0.625%
1.250%
1.250%

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

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

The Company passed an amendment to its articles of incorporation (“Articles”) on June 12, 2019, which stipulates that the Company shall consider distribution of earnings or appropriation of earnings to a reserve at the end of the first half of the fiscal year or at the end of the fiscal year. The business report and financial statements should be submitted to the audit committee for review, and to the board of directors for resolution.

Under the dividends policy as set forth in the amended Articles, where the Company made a profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for the distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders. However, these stipulations shall not apply when the legal reserve amount has reached the authorized capital. The Company should also follow Article 240 of the Company Act in the case of distribution of earnings in the form of shares; in the case of distribution of earnings in

According to the Articles, the Company should distribute earnings or appropriate earnings to a reserve based on the financial statements audited or reviewed by an independent accountant.

The Company’s Articles stipulate that in the allocation of annual earnings, the Group shall first appropriate 10% of earnings to legal reserve and then appropriate to special reserve amount to cover deduction items in the equity, payment of business tax and to make up for past annual loss.

The board of directors shall propose distribution of dividends and the shareholders in their meeting shall approve the proposal. Refer to Note 24 (8), employee benefits, for the revised policy on the remuneration of employees and directors.

The appropriation and distribution of earnings and capital surplus as cash dividend or stock dividend shall be subject to the real profit and fund situation in the current year, with consideration of fund for investment and possible dilution of earnings per share. The allocation for stock dividend shall be limited to 20% of the issued stock. In case there is deduction item in equity, the deduction item shall be first offset with earnings or capital surplus before making the appropriation and allocation. When equity deduction item is reversed, the reversed amount shall be allocated to capital surplus. The allocation of capital surplus shall be accounted in the current year and passed in the general meeting of shareholders in the next year.

The Company shall appropriate to or reverse from special reserve pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Letter No. Jin-Kuang-Fa-Tzi No. 1010012865, Letter No. Jin-Kuang-Fa-Tzi No. 1010047490 and “Following the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, questions and answers on special reserve”. When a deduction item in equity is reversed, the reversed amount may be allocated to capital surplus.

Legal reserve shall be appropriated until its balance reaches the gross amount of paid-in capital of the Company. Legal reserve shall be used to offset loss. If there is no loss, legal reserve in excess of 25% of the total paid-in capital may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

In July 2019, the president of the ROC announced the amendments to the Statute for Industrial Innovation, which stipulate that the amounts of unappropriated earnings in 2018 and thereafter that are reinvested in the construction or purchase of certain assets or technologies are allowed as deduction when computing the income tax on unappropriated earnings. When calculating the tax on unappropriated earnings, the Group only deducts the amount of the unappropriated earnings that has been reinvested in capital expenditure.

Earnings Per Share

Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the
computation of basic earnings per share

The Group may settle the compensation of employees in cash or shares; therefore, the Group assumes that the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares are included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

  • 3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair value of privately offered fund is based on the net asset value provided by the fund company.

The asset approach and comparable listed companies approach were used to calculate the fair values of investments in domestic unlisted equity instruments.

The comparable listed companies approach takes into account the transaction prices of shares of listed companies in an active market, the value multiplier implicit in the price, and the liquidity discount when evaluating the fair value of the target company.

The asset approach assesses the total market value of individual assets and individual liabilities of the valuation target and considers the reduction of non-controlling interests and a reduction in liquidity to reflect the overall value of the entity or business.

  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, trade receivables, trade payables, borrowings and lease liabilities. The Group’s corporate treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, and monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports that analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below) and interest rates (see (2) below).

The exposure to market risk of the financial instruments of the Group and the management and measurement of the exposure have not changed.

a) Foreign currency risk

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets (including those eliminated on consolidation) at the end of the year are set out in Note 34.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to the USD and RMB.

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the Group when the exchange rate of the New Taiwan dollar to the relevant foreign currency increases and decreases by 5%. The 5% sensitivity rate is used for reporting currency risk to key management personnel of the Group; the management believes it is the reasonably acceptable range of fluctuation of foreign currency rate. The positive (negative) amounts on the table below indicate an increase (decrease) in pretax income and equity amount when the New Taiwan dollar weakens (strengthens) by 5% relative to the relevant currency.

The following sensitivity analysis shows the effect of a 25 basis points change in interest rates of non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. The 25 basis points sensitivity is used in internal reports to key management personnel; it represents the reasonably possible change in interest rates acceptable to the management.

Had interest rates increased/decreased by 25 basis points, the profit before tax in 2020 and 2019 would have decreased/increased by $3,653 thousand and $3,863 thousand, respectively, with all other variables held constant; the non-derivative instruments include floating rate loan, demand deposit and restricted asset.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. At the end of the year, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure of the counterparty to discharge its obligation and due to the financial guarantees provided by the Group, could be equal to the total assets shown on the balance sheets.

The policy of the Group is to only trade with counterparties with high reputation, and to require sufficient guarantee to reduce the financial loss from default. The Group transacts with a large number of unrelated customers and thus, credit risk is not highly concentrated.

The following table shows the maximum exposure to endorsement made by the Group:

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

  • 189 -

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. The Group had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities set out in (b) below.

  • a) Liquidity and interest rate risk table

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed upon repayment periods.

Analysis of changes in financial ratio
1. The main reason of the increase in operating gross profit and operating net profit was the increased revenue from booming market and the
decreased unit cost from production capacity increased.
2. The net other income (expenses) was negative, mainly because of the loss in disposaling of real property recognized by the relocation of the
factory.
3. The decrease in the negative value of non-operating income and expenses was mainly from the disposal of idle land to generate benefits.

The most recent year was the development of an industry related to the Company's business. To expand the scale of operations and achieve a vertical separation or horizontal integration, the increase in operating niche was the Company's investment policy. Reinvestment situation in 2020:

  1. The reason for the loss of Dasheng Enterprise Co., Ltd. is that the newly-built development project of real estate has not yet been promoted, resulting in no operating income and bearing the interest expense of the development stage.

  2. Luckicon Ready-mixed Concrete Factory Co., Ltd. benefited from the stabilization of the real estate industry, the increase in demand has turned it into a profit; the Huilong factory is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022.

7.6 Analysis and Evaluation of Risk Management

1. Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate Finance, and Future

Response Measures

  • (1) Foreign exchange rates ::

  • Except that some of the materials of the Company are imported, the rest are domestic purchases, and our products are domestic sales. Therefore, the foreign currency of the Company’s accounts for a small proportion of the Company's total assets and it is short-term loans within one year. At the end of 2020, there were no liabilities for foreign currency borrowings, and foreign exchange gains for the year were NT$1,865,000. In order to reduce risks arising from changes in exchange rates, the Company, in addition to long-term tracking of changes in the international economy and finance, irregularly reviews the risk exposure of the Company's foreign currency position, and plans foreign currency demand to circumvent or reduce the possibility of future changes. The Company's financial hedging strategy is aimed at achieving a goal of avoiding most market price or cash flow ri sks.

  • (2) Interest rate

In 2020, except that the short-term and long-term borrowings in the previous period had been repaid on time, the Company increased short-term borrowings by NT$37,423,000 and reduced long-term borrowings by NT$130,000,000. The total loan amount of NT$1,839,588,000 accounted for 22.92% of total assets, a decrease of 3.44% from 2019. The annual interest expense was NT$31,946,000, and the interest expense accounted for 0.71% of the net revenue. As the fluctuation of interest rates is closely related to economic prosperity, it is still safe for the Company's current financial structure. Although there is regional growth in the global economy, the kinetic energy is still uncertain, the domestic political and economic environment is disturbed, and it is unlikely to raise interest rates in the short term. In order to

  • 209 -

ensure that the future interest expense due to rising interest rates is reduced, the Company will continue to improve its financial structure and will adopt more meticulous and effective capital planning and use measures.

(3) Inflation:

The Company has a positive correlation with product prices and inflation, so the impact on the company's profit and loss should not be excessive.

2. Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions

  • The Company does not engage in high-risk, high-leverage investments. For acquisition or disposal of major assets, loans to others, endorsement guarantees, and derivative commodity transactions, all are based on the Company’s policies and procedures, such as “Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets”, “Procedures for Lending of Capital”, “Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees” and “Procedures for Engaging in Derivatives Trading”.

3. Future Research & Development Projects and Corresponding Budget

  • The Company is in the cement manufacturing industry, and the products are mature products used in general building materials. Therefore, the Company will actively optimize the production equipment, improve the operation rate, and improve the product quality to provide customers with better products and services. In addition, more active use of waste resources to reduce the use of natural resources has led to the recycling of economic resources.

4. Effects of and Response to Changes in Policies and Regulations Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales

  • (1) With the policies and laws, such as Corporate Governance, Company Act, Securities and Exchange Act modified by the competent authority, the Company has been in cooperation, so there is no large impact for financial business currently.

  • (2) For the implementation of the new system for retirement, the Company has been pension in accordance with the law, so the new system has no impact for financial business.

  • (3) Another choice for pension reserve of retired employees in accordance with old system of retirement, the p ension reserve has saved in pension fund account on March 31, 2016. At the end of March each year, the amount of insufficient funds is saved according to the actuary’s report.

  • (4) The revision of the Mining Law and the sharp increase in the special tax on mini ng will inevitably increase the burden on costs and reduce the gross profit, the Company is intended to more stringently control costs in order to achieve a breakthrough.

5. Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and the Industry Relating to C orporate Finance and Sales

  • The products of the Company are used for general public constructions and civil construction projects; but the construction methods and inspection standards have not changed largely, there is no impact for financial business of the Company.

6. The Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Risk Management, and the Company’s Response Measures

  • The Company has operating principles in steady and conservative and attentions to the image and risk management, so there is no any foreseeable crisis. Although the cement industry has entered a mature period with limited growth, the Company is actively transforming and looking for business opportunities.

7. Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Merger and Acquisition Plans None

8. Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Factory Expansion Plans Fortunately, the Wugu Plant of the Company's subsidiary Luckicon Ready-mixed Concrete ceased operation at the end of September 2020. This is in line with the New Taipei City Government’s "Trial plan before the release of the Expanding Wugu District Urban Plan” and the demolition will be carried out and completed in Octo ber 2019. In order to make up for the lost production capacity, it has signed a contract to lease a ready-mix concrete plant from the same industry manufacturer in 2021 to establish the New Taipei City Sanxia Plant. In order to expand the distribution channels and continue to deepen the domestic cement market, we have purchased land in the Sanjiapu section of Shulin District, New Taipei City. Currently, we are actively planning and constructing a new plant in Shulin. It is expected to complete the construct ion of the plant and start operations in the second half of 2022. The plant is located at the junction of Shulin, New Taipei City and Huilong, Taoyuan City. After the completion of the plant, it can form a better supply network with the existing New Taipei City Sanxia Plant and Taoyuan Puxin Plant, which can provide better delivery service quality and improve the market share. The cement industry belongs to the business cycle industry. Through the establishment of this new plant, the impact of market fluctuations during the business cycle can be reduced.

9. Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and Excessive Customer Concentration

  • The Company knows the risk of focusing on purchase/sales, so the purchase has adopted diversified procurement policy, except for purchases by special minerals and fixed suppliers, the rest is no focus on purchase from the same supplier. In terms of sales, it also spreads risks and implements credit management. The transactions are according to the characteristics of the industrial market transactions and it is based on the advance sales receipts method, except there are some give credit to the evaluation of the operations and financial status of domestic listed (OTC) companies and the sales of the affiliates of the Company. Therefore, the Company's assessment of the risk of recovery of accounts, in the listed (OTC) companies

  • 210 -

and the affiliates of the Company, the account recovery situation is generally good. As for the customers that belong to the advance payment, because the creditor's right has not yet been generated, it does not evaluate the Transaction Instruments received by the Company. After the customer picks up the goods, the creditor's right of the Company occurs. If the Transaction Instrument has not been cashed, the Company will estimate the Company’s bad debt provision for the actual amount that has not been cashed

  • .
