Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors and the Shareholders
Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the Individual Balance Sheets of Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the Individual Statements of Comprehensive Income, Individual Statements of Changes in Equity, Individual Statements of Cash Flows and the notes to the Individual Financial Statements (including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020.
In our opinion, the Individual Financial Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the individual financial position of Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for 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 Individual Financial Statements section of our report. We have stayed independent from Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd. as required by The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled other responsibilities as stipulated by the Norm. 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 refer to the matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 2021 Individual Financial Statements of Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd.. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Individual Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Individual Financial Statements of Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2021 are stated as follows:
Operating revenue from major clients
Please refer to Note 4 for the accounting policies and critical accounting estimates used for revenue recognition.
- 2 -
Description of Matter
Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd. is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sales of denim fabric and apparels. Based on the consideration of the whole financial statements, we have identified the authenticity of the sales revenue from specific customers whose sales growth percentages were higher than the Company’s overall average as a key audit matter.
Audit Procedures
The main audit procedures of the aforementioned key audit matter are as follows:
-
We studied the internal control mechanism related to sales transactions, and assessed the effectiveness of its design and implementation.
-
We tested the sales transactions with the above-mentioned customers for the year to validate the authenticity of the sales.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual Financial Statements
The responsibilities of management are to prepare a set of fairly presented Individual Financial Statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and maintain necessary internal controls associated with the preparation in order to ensure the financial statements are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Individual Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability of Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd. to continue as a going concern, disclosing associated matters and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd. or cease its operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Individual Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement in the Individual Financial Statements 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 Individual Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
3 -
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Individual Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd.'s internal control.
-
Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management level, as well as the reasonableness of their accounting estimates and relevant disclosures.
-
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 Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd.’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 Individual 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 Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Individual Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Individual Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities of Nien Hsing Textile Co., Ltd. to express an opinion on the Individual 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.
- 4 -
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Individual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Shu-Juan Ye and Chih-Ming, Shao.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-
a. Statement of Compliance
-
13 -
The Individual Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs approved and promulgated by the FSC.
- b. Basis of Preparation
The Individual Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which is arrived at by taking the present value of defined benefit obligation minus the fair value of planned assets.
The fair value measurement is classified into 3 levels based on the observability and importance of related inputs:
-
1) Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
-
2) Level 2 inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-
3) Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
The Company accounts for subsidiaries and associates by using the equity method in the preparation of the Individual Financial Statements. In order to align the amounts of profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and equity stated on the Individual Financial Statements for the current year with the amounts attributable to Owners of the Company as stated on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the current year, the Company accounted for the accounting differences between the consolidated basis and the individual basis by adjusting “Investment accounted for using the equity method”, “Share of profit or loss in subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method”, “Share of other comprehensive income in subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method”, and related equity items.
- c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
-
1) Assets held primarily for trading purposes;
-
2) Assets to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
-
3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
-
1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
2) Liabilities 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 Individual 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 12 months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
-
d. Foreign Currency
-
14 -
When preparing the Individual Financial Statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency (i.e. foreign currencies) are converted into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined, with exchange differences arising therefrom recognized in profit or loss, except when fair value changes are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case the exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical costs in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated.
For the purpose of presenting the Individual Financial Statements, the functional currencies of the Company's entities (including subsidiaries and associates in other countries that use currencies 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.
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Company's entire interest in a foreign operation or a disposal involving the loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to equity transaction in that foreign operation but is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other situations of partial disposal of a foreign operation, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange difference recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.
- e. Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-progress. Inventories are measured at the lower of costs and net realizable value. When comparing costs and net realizable values, they are based on individual items except for the same type of inventory. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost of inventory is calculated using the weighted-average method.
- f. Investment in Subsidiaries
The Company adopted the equity method for accounting treatment of investment in subsidiaries and associates.
Subsidiaries refer to individuals (including structural individuals) that the Company has control over.
Under the equity method, the investment is initially treated at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition changes in the Company's share of profit or loss, share of other
- 15 -
comprehensive income in subsidiaries, and changes in earnings distribution from subsidiaries. In addition, changes in the Company's share of subsidiaries’ other equity are recognized in proportion to its shareholding ratio.
When changes in the ownership interest of the Company in subsidiaries do not cause the Company to lose control, they are recognized as equity transactions. The difference between the carrying amounts of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
When the Company's share of losses of a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in that subsidiary (including any carrying amount of the investment accounted for by the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company's net investment in the subsidiary), the Company shall continue to recognize losses based on the shareholding percentage.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and shall not be amortized. Any excess of the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary over the cost of acquisition is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When the Company assesses impairment, the test shall be performed on the basis of cash generating unit within the financial statements. The recoverable amount and the carrying amount of cash generating unit shall be compared. If the recoverable amount of the asset later increases, the reversal of the impairment loss shall be recognized as profits, but the carrying amount of the asset after reversal of impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount of the asset before recognizing the impairment loss, net of amortization. Impairment losses attributable to goodwill shall not be reversed in subsequent periods.
When the Company loses control on a subsidiary, the Company measures its retaining interest at fair value of the former subsidiary at the date when control was lost; any difference between the retaining interest, any proceeds from disposal, and the book value on the date when control was lost is recognized in profit or loss. The Company Accounted for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets and liabilities.
The unrealized profit or loss from downstream transactions between the Company and the subsidiary is eliminated in the Individual Financial Statements. Profit or loss generated from upstream transactions between the Company and subsidiaries and lateral transactions between subsidiaries shall only be recognized in the Individual Financial Statements when it is not related to the Company's interest in the subsidiaries.
g. Investment in Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates.
Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. In addition, equity changes in associates are recognized based on shareholding ratio.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate at the date of acquisition is recognized as
- 16 -
goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When the Company subscribes to additional new shares of the associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company's proportionate interest in the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to Capital surplus - changes in the Company's equity in associates accounted for using the equity method and investment accounted for using the equity method. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the new shares of associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (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 associate), the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.
The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The Company discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an associate. Any retained interest is measured at fair value at that date. The difference between the fair value, proceeds from disposal, and the book value of the investment on the date when the equity method ceases to apply is recognized in profit or loss. The Group accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required had that associate directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the Company continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest.
Any gain or loss from transactions, either downstream, upstream, or lateral, between the Company and associates are recognized in the Individual Financial Statements only to the extent that such recognition does not affect the Company’s interest in the associate.
- h. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at costs less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are carried at costs, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible
- 17 -
for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.
Except for self-owned land, which is not depreciated, depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. If the lease term of the item of property, plant and equipment is shorter than its useful life, the asset is depreciated over the lease term. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
- i. Investment property
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.
On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.
- j. Impairment of property, plant and equipment
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its Property, plant and equipment 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.
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 asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount (net of amortization or depreciation) that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
k. Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be recognized in the Individual Financial Statements when the Company becomes a party of the financial instrument contract.
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 fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly
- 18 -
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 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 held by the Company include financial assets at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
- i. Financial assets at amortized costs
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
-
i) Held under a business model whose purpose of holding such financial assets is to collect the contractual cash flows; and
-
ii) The contractual terms give rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized costs, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables at amortized costs, other financial assets and refundable deposits, are measured at amortized costs, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using 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 such a financial asset, except for:
-
i) In the case of purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest revenue is recognized by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized costs.
-
ii) Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized costs of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.
Credit-impaired financial assets are those where the issuer or debtor has experienced major financial difficulties or defaults, the debtor is likely to claim bankruptcy or other financial restructuring, or disappearance of an active market for the financial asset due to financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within three months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and short-term transactions instruments.
ii. 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.
- 19 -
The investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and losses are measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are presented in other comprehensive income or loss and accumulated in other equity. At the time of investment disposal, the accumulated gains and losses will not be reclassified as profit or loss but transferred directly 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 (i.e. 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 show that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.
-
ii. When the underlying debt is overdue.
The impairment loss of the above financial assets is reduced by the allowance account to reduce the book amount.
- 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 which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
-
2) Equity instruments
-
20 -
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
-
3) Financial liabilities
-
a) Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities are measured at amortized costs using the effective interest method.
- b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
l. Provisions
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).
Onerous contract
Where the Company has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract, the present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognized and measured as provisions.
- m. Revenue Recognition
The Company identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
For contracts where the period between the date on which the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and the date on which the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of denim fabric and apparels. Sales of denim fabric and jeans are recognized as revenue when the goods are transferred 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 and revenue are recognized concurrently.
The Company does not recognize revenue on materials processing because this processing does not involve a transfer of control.
- 21 -
n. Leasing
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
- 1) The Company as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Lease payments deducted by any lease incentives payable from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
- 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.
- o. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the costs of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other than those stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
- p. Government Grants
Government grants are only recognized when they can be reasonably assured that the combined Company shall comply with the conditions imposed by government grants and that such grants can be received.
Government grants are recognized in other income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
If the government subsidy is used to compensate fees or losses that had occurred, or is given to the Company for the purpose of immediate financial support without related future costs, it can be recognized as income within the collectible period.
-
q. Employee Benefits
-
a. 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 services.
- b. Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
- 22 -
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, past service costs, as well as gains and losses on settlements) 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 plan amendment/curtailment/settlement occurs. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, and the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings/other equity and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
r.
Income Tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
According to the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China (ROC), an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax 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 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 and associates, 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. The deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset 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
- 23 -
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 and deferred tax
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for an investment in a subsidiary, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the subsidiary.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ASSUMPTIONS, AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
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 relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company takes into account the economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in its critical accounting judgments and the management will constantly review the estimations and underlying assumptions. If an amendment of estimates only affects the current period, it shall be recognized in the period of amendment; if an amendment of accounting estimates affects the current year and future periods, it shall be recognized in the period of amendment and future periods.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Company’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

a. Trade receivables
The average credit period of sales of goods was 30 days to 90 days. No interest was charged on the trade receivables. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Company considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. The Company will first review the credit rating of their new customers and, if necessary, obtain sufficient guarantees to mitigate the risk of financial losses due to default. The Company will use other publicly available financial information and historical transaction records to rate its major customers. The Company continuously monitors the credit risk and the credit rating of the debtor, and manages the credit risk insurance by reviewing and approving the debtor’s credit limit. In addition, the Company will review the recoverable amount of the receivables one by one on the balance sheet date to ensure that adequate allowance is
- 25 -
made for possible irrecoverable amounts. Accordingly, the management of the Company believes that the credit risk of the Company has been significantly reduced.
The Company applies the simplified approach when providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated with reference to past default experiences of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position. The Company considers the aging of accounts receivable, customer ratings and the mechanism for the retention of accounts receivable, etc. comprehensively when determining the Company’s expected credit loss rate.
The expected credit loss rates for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 ranged from 0.5% ~ 50% and 0.5% ~ 15%, respectively. The Company recognizes 100% allowance for doubtful accounts when there is information indicating that a debtor is experiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery of the receivable. Furthermore, 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 Company’s allowance for trade receivables are as follows:

17. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a. Defined contribution plan
The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity 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. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contribute amounts equal to 3% (6% from September 2015) 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 would become eligible for retirement 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 amounts included in the Individual Balance Sheet in respect of the Company’s defined benefit plans are as follows:
| defined benefit plans are as follows: | |||

An analysis by function of the amounts recognized in profit or loss in respect of the defined benefit plans is as follows:

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 investments are conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by the plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
-
2) Interest rate 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 plan’s debt investments.
-
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary 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:
| the actuarial valuations are as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate Expected rate of salary increase Turnover rate |
December 31,2021 0.70% 2.00% 0.26% |
December 31,2020 |
| 0.30% 2.00% 0.47% |
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| Discount rate Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% Expected rate of salary increase Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% Turnover rate 10% increase 10% decrease |
December 31,2021 ($ 6,680 ) $ 6,930 $ 6,823 ($ 6,612 ) ($ 22 ) $ 22 |

- 33 -
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy
Under the dividend 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 distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders. For the policies on the distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors and supervisors before and after the amendment, please refer to employee benefits expense in Note 20(g).
By considering the financial/business/operating factors, e.g. the Company shall distribute no less than 50% of the distributable income arrived at by taking the net income after tax less deficit make-up, legal reserves and special reserves, unless saving for the purposes of improving the financial structure, reinvestments, production expansion or other capital expenditures in which capital is required. Appropriations may be in the form of cash dividends or stock dividends, with cash dividends currently preferred because the Company’s business is mature. In addition, any stock dividends distributed should not exceed 50% of the total dividends distributed. If the Company has no unappropriated earnings, if earnings appropriable are much less than the prior year’s, or if certain financial, business and operating factors need to be considered, the legal reserve may be distributed in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge.
Appropriation of earnings to the legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
The Company managed appropriation or reversal of special reserve in accordance with relevant ordinances issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”. If other stockholders' equity deductions are reversed afterward, the reversal may be applicable for the appropriation of earnings.
The appropriations of earnings for 2020 approved in the shareholders’ meeting on August 11, 2021 are as follows:
| 11, 2021 are as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Cash dividends | Appropriation of Earnings $ 118,800 |
Dividends per Share(NT$) |
| $ 0.6 |
As per relevant ordinances issued by the FSC, the Company’s shareholders’ meetings held on August 11, 2021 and June 16, 2020 resolved to reverse the special reserve of $274,992 thousand and $46,646 thousand, respectively.

- a. Description of customer contracts
The Company identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
For contracts where the period between the date on which the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and the date on which the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of denim fabric and apparels. Sales of denim fabric and apparels are recognized as revenue when the goods are transferred 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 and revenue are recognized concurrently.
The Company does not recognize revenue on materials processing because this processing does not involve a transfer of control.

g. Employees’ Compensation
According to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the Company accrued employees’ compensation at rates higher than 1% of net profit before income tax. The distribution of earnings is based on past experience and current operating circumstances. The employees’ compensation for 2021 resolved by the Board of Directors amounted to $2,897 thousand on March 10, 2022. Due to loss before income tax, it is not required to appropriate employees’ compensation in 2020.
If there is a change in the amounts after the annual Individual Financial Statements are authorized for issue, the differences should be recorded as a change in the accounting estimate in the following year.
Due to loss before income tax in 2020 and 2019, the Company did not appropriate employees’ compensation. There was no difference between the actual amounts of employees’ compensation paid and the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Information about employee compensation approved by the Board of Directors for 2022 and 2021 is available at the Taiwan Stock Exchange Market Observation Post System website.

If the Company offered to settle the compensation paid to employees in cash or shares, the Company assumed the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Whereas anti-dilution effect has occurred due to the net loss in 2020, divided loss per share was not included in the calculation as a result.
23. GOVERNMENT GRANTS
In 2020, the Company applied for salary subsidies and working capital subsidies of $34,968 thousand, presented under other income, in accordance with the revised provisions of the Ministry of Economic Affairs on the rescue and revitalization of industries with operating difficulties affected by severe and infectious pneumonia.
24. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital risks to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue operating with necessary financial resources and business plans and to respond to the needs for operating fund, capital expenditures, loan repayment, and dividends in the following 12 months.
Key management personnel of the Company review the capital structure on a quarterly basis. As part of this review, the key management personnel consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the key management personnel, in order to balance the overall capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, the number of new shares issued or capital reduced, and/or the amount of new debt issued or existing debt redeemed.

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's financial risk management objective is to manage exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to operating activities. To reduce related financial risks, the Company is committed to identifying, assessing and avoiding market uncertainties, so as to reduce potentially unfavorable effects of market changes on its financial performance.
The important financial activities of the Company are reviewed by the board of directors in accordance with relevant regulations and internal control systems.

1) Market risks
-
44 -
The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below).
a) Foreign currency risk
The Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Company to foreign currency risk. Exchange rate exposures were managed by adjusting the net position between foreign assets and foreign liabilities and within approved policy parameters utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 30.
Sensitivity Analysis
The Company was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollars.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the New Taiwan dollar (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit and other equity associated with the New Taiwan dollar strengthening 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the New Taiwan dollar against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and other equity and the balances below would be negative.

For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liabilities outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year.
- 45 -
If interest rate increases/decreases by 25 basis points, held other variables constant, the Company’s income before tax will increase/decrease by $283 thousand and $936 thousand, respectively for 2021 and 2020.
c) Other price risk
The Company was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes.
Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower, pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would increase/decrease by $3,591 thousand and $2,780 thousand due to increase/decrease in the fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.
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. The Company is exposed to credit risk from operating activities, primarily on trade receivables, and from financing activities, primarily on deposits, fixed-income investments and other financial instruments with banks. Credit risk is managed separately for business- and financial-related exposures.
Business-related credit risk
To maintain the quality of its accounts receivable, the Company has established management procedures on dealing with credit risks.
Individual customers are assessed for their payment capability, including financial status, aging analysis, historical transactions, etc. In special cases involving individual customers, the Company may enhance its protection against credit risk by requiring advance payment or using credit insurance.
In addition, the Company will review the recoverable amount of the receivables one by one on the balance sheet date to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. Accordingly, the management of the Company believes that the credit risk of the Company has been significantly reduced. Additionally, the counterparties of liquid funds are all creditworthy financial institutions and corporations, with no significant credit risk expected.
Financial credit risk
The credit risk from bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments is measured and supervised by the financial department of the Company. The counterparties of the Company are banks with good credit ratings, investment-grade financial institutions, corporations and the government, which have no contract performance risk. Thus, the credit risk is insignificant.
3) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents 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.
- 46 -
The Company’s current financial liabilities mature within a year and immediate settlements are not required. The Company’s guarantee deposits do not have a specific maturity.
The table below details the contractual repayment schedule of the Company’s non-current bank borrowings other than current liabilities which will mature in less than a year.
