Independent Auditors’ Report

(2022) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi #21005204 To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Balance sheets of Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related Standalone Statements of Comprehensive Income, Standalone Statements of Changes in Equity and Standalone Statements of Cash Flows for the periods then ended and the Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies).

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements of Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and present fairly the standalone financial position of Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 as well as its standalone financial performance and standalone cash flow then ended.

Basis for Audit Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Republic of China Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under such standards will be elaborated in the paragraph of Independent Accountants’ responsibilities for audits of standalone financial statements. Our personnel subject to the independence requirements have complied with the Codes of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the “Codes”), have been independent of Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation, and have fulfilled other ethical responsibilities under such Codes. We believe that we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our opinion.

~4~

Key inspection items

Key inspection items refer to those matters that, in our professional judgment, are of most significance in relation to our audit of Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation’s Standalone Financial Statements as of 2021. These matters have been addressed in the process of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole and forming our opinion thereon and we do not express an opinion on these matters individually.

Key inspection items of Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation’s Standalone Financial Statements as of 2021 are as follows:

Evaluation of other equipment impairment

Description

For property, plant and equipment, please refer the Note 6(7) of the Standalone Financial Statements. For accounting policies of impairment assessment and significant accounting judgments, assumptions and uncertainty of Estimations, please refer to Note 4(16) and 5 of the Standalone Financial Statements, respectively.

Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation’s other equipment (under property, plant and equipment) is the major asset related to the solar power generation division with a book value of NT$498,871 thousand, accounting for 32% of the total standalone assets. Due to the scarcity of available solar power land and difficulty of developing large sites, Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation estimates the amount recoverable of other equipment based on the value in use and applies it as the basis of the impairment assessment. Since the value-in-use evaluation process involves judgment of changes due to variations of economic environment or climate conditions and uncertainties to the future due to changes in estimation results brought by the conditions, which could have a significant impact on the recoverable amount measurement and in turn affects the assessment of impairment amount, we consider the impairment assessment of other equipment, a key inspection item.

Audit procedure in response

The audit procedures we performed are set out below:

  1. Review management’s estimates of recoverable amounts of other equipment at the balance
~5~

sheet date and reassess the correctness of the related calculations.

  1. Understand and evaluate that the Company's asset impairment assessment procedures and accounting policies are complied with the accounting principles and are consistently applied, including a review of the methods adopted by the management when determining recoverable amounts.

  2. Obtain assessment information used by management for determining recoverable amounts based on asset use patterns and industry characteristics and assess the reasonableness of the independent cash flows, the durable years of the assets and the potential future revenues and expenses.

  3. Compare the recoverable amount with the carrying amount to examine the correctness of the impairment calculation.

The management’s and governance units’ responsibilities to the Standalone Financial Statements

The management’s responsibility is to prepare the Standalone Financial Statements that present fairly the Company’s financial position in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and maintain the necessary internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements to ensure that the Standalone Financial Statements are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the responsibility of the management also includes evaluating the ability of the Company’s going concern, disclosure of related matters and adoption of the going concern basis of accounting, unless the management intends to liquidate Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation or to cease its operations or has no practical alternative to liquidation or cessation of operations.

Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation’s governance unit is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

~6~

Independent Auditors’ responsibilities to auditing the Standalone Financial Statements.

The purpose of our audit is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether or not the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatements resulting from fraud or error and to issue an audit report thereon. Reasonable assurance represents a high assurance, however the audit work conducted in accordance with the Republic of China Generally Accepted Auditing Standards does not provide assurance that material misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements can be detected. Misstatements might result from fraud or error If the individual amounts or aggregates of misstatements could reasonably be expected to affect economic decisions made by the users of the Financial Statements, such amounts are deemed material.

We applied our professional judgment and maintained our professional skepticism in our audit in accordance with the Republic of China’s Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. We also conducted the following work:

  1. Identify and assess the risk of material misstatements resulting from fraud or error; design and implement appropriate countermeasures for the assessed risks; and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis of our audit opinion. Since fraud may involve conspiracy, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentation or a breach of internal control, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than what is due to error.

  2. Obtain the necessary understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, provided that the objective is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation's internal control.

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

  4. Based on the evidence obtained, draw conclusions regarding the appropriateness of management's adoption of accounting basis for a going concern and whether or not there is any material uncertainty regarding events or circumstances that may cast a significant doubt on Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation's ability in continuing operations. If we believe that a material uncertainty exists with respect to any such events or circumstances, we shall draw the attention of users of the Standalone Financial Statements to the relevant

~7~

disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or amend our audit opinion when such disclosures are inappropriate. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the audit report. However, future events or circumstances may cause Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation to cease to have the ability of continuing operations.

  1. Evaluate whether or not the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements (including the related notes) and the Standalone Financial Statements fairly present the relevant transactions and events.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information that constitutes Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation's financial position to provide our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and execution of the standalone audit project and for developing standalone audit opinions.

Our communication with the governance units includes the planned scope and timing of our audits and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control identified during our audits)

We also provide the governing unit with a statement that the independence-regulated personnel of our firm have complied with the ROC Code of Professional Ethics with respect to independence and communicate with the governing unit concerning all relationships and other matters (including related safeguards) that may be perceived to affect the independence of the accountant.

From the matters communicated with the governance unit, we determine the key inspection items for Prime Oil Chemical Service Corporation’s 2021 Standalone Financial Statements. We describe these matters in our audit report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about such matters or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter would not be communicated in our report since the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public benefits of such communication.

On the other hand, for accounts receivable or

~21~

- (XII) Lessor Leasing Transaction Operating lease

Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognized in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(XIII) Investments/subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method

  1. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company (including structured entities). The Company controls the entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power over the entity

  2. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the part of replacement should be derecognized. All other maintenance expenses are recognized as current profit or loss as incurred.

  3. Subsequent evaluation of the equipment applies the cost model and such equipment is depreciated under the straight-line method. If the components of the equipment are significant, depreciation is provided separately.

  4. The assets residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each fiscal year. If expectations for the assets residual

~22~

values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or patterns of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in such assets have changed significantly, such change is handled according to IAS 8, “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” from the date of such change. Useful life of each asset.

Warehouse 2~35 years Lease 3~10 years
facilities improvement
Transport 5~10 years Lease assets 2~15 years
Equipment
Office Equipment 3~5 years Other Equipment 15~20 years

(XV) Lessee Leasing Transaction – Right-of-use Assets/Leasing liabilities

  1. Leased assets are recognized as right-of-use assets and leasing liabilities as of the date they become available to the Company. When a lease contract is a short-term lease or a lease of a low-value asset, the lease payment is recognized as an expense over the leasing period using the straight-line method.

  2. Leasing liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of such lease at the present value of unpaid lease payments discounted by the interest rate on the Company's incremental borrowings. Such leasing payments are fixed payments, less any lease incentives that are entitled to be received.

Subsequent evaluation applies interest method to measure at amortized cost and recognized interest expenses over the lease life. When changes in lease tenor or lease payment do not result from amendments of lease agreements, the lease liabilities are remeasured and the right-of-use asset will be adjusted against any amount of remeasurement of such leasing liabilities.

  1. Right-of-use assets are recognized at cost at the commencement date of the lease. The cost is the initial measurement amount of such leasing liabilities.

(XVI) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell or its value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior periods no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed, provided that the increased carrying amount resulting from such reversal should not exceed the face value prior to the impairment and net of depreciation or amortization.

(XVII) Loans

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

  2. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the

~23~

loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fees are deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all the facility will be drawn down, such fees are capitalized as a pre-payment and amortized over the respective period of the facilities.

(XVIII) De-recognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

(XIX) Provision

Provisions (de-commissioning liabilities) arise when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation because of past events and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the amount of the expenditures required to settle underlying obligation on the balance sheet date. Provisions shall not be recognized for future operating losses.

(XX) Employee benefits

1. Short-term employee benefits

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

  1. Pensions

(1) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Pre-paid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • (2) Defined benefit plans

    • A. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Company in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Company uses the yield rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

    • B. Re-measurements arising from defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income of the period and presented in the retained earnings.

    • C. The related expenses for prior service costs are recognized immediately in the profit or loss.

  • Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration

Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as

~24~

expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under a legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in accounting estimates If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the closing price on the immediate day before the board meeting resolution.

- (XXI) Employee share based payment

For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the payment date and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period. The Company’s equity is then adjusted accordingly. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that are eventually vested.

(XXII) Income tax

  1. Income tax comprises of current and deferred income tax. Tax is recognized in the profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity

  2. The current income tax expense is calculated based on the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. The management periodically evaluates implementations taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the shareholders resolve to distribute the earnings.

  3. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the parent company only balance sheet Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in the foreseeable future Deferred income tax is determined according to tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

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

(XXIII) Share capital

  1. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
~25~
  1. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

(XXIV) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities.

(XXV) Revenue recognition

1. Rental income

The Company provides chemical and oil tanks for lease in accordance with operating lease standards and the rental income from such operating lease is recognized in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis according to rent determined by the leasing agreement.

  1. Tank operations revenue

The Company provides chemical and oil tanks for lease and offers chemicals and oil loading services. Revenue is recognized in the reporting period in which the services are provided to customers based on actual loading and unloading capacity and contracted rates.

  1. Electricity sales revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when the electricity generated from solar power generation equipment is transferred to customers. Once the electricity is generated, it is transmitted to the buyer through the distribution system. The buyer has discretion over the access and price of the electricity sold, and the revenue is calculated based on the contracted rate and the number of kilowatt-hours generated per month.

V. Significant Accounting Estimations and Judgments, and Main Sources of Assumption Uncertainties

In preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements, the management has made judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical accounting assumptions and estimates concerning future events based on the circumstances on the balance sheet date. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continuously evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such estimates and assumptions have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The Company does not apply critical judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. Material accounting estimates and assumptions are addressed below:

Impairment assessment of other equipment (property, plant and equipment)

In the asset impairment evaluation process, the Company relies on subjective judgment and based on asset usage patterns and industry characteristics to determine the independent cash flows, the useful life and potential future revenues and expenses of a specific asset.

(XIII) Pensions

1. Defined benefit plan

  • (1) In accordance with the Labor Standards Act, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have established a defined benefit pension plan that applies to the years of service prior to the implementation of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 for all regular employees, and to the subsequent years of service for employees who choose to continue to be subject to the Labor Standards Act after the implementation
~40~

of the Labor Pension Act. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company established a new pension plan for commissioned employees, who are not subject to the Labor Standards Act. For employees who meet the retirement criteria, pension payments are calculated based on the years of service and the average salary for the six months prior to retirement, with two bases for each year of service up to (inclusive) 15 years and one base for each year of service over 15 years, subject to a maximum accumulation of 45 bases. The years of service of the commissioned employees subject to the Labor Pension Act is calculated at 6% of the total salary during the term of appointment. The Company contributes monthly to pension funds at 8% of total salaries. The pension funds for regular employees and commissioned employees are deposited in the name of the Supervisory Committee of Labor Retirement Reserve in the Trust Department of Bank of Taiwan and Taishin International Bank, respectively. In addition, the Company estimates the balances of the pension funds before the end of each year. If the balances are not sufficient to pay the pensions based on the aforementioned calculations to eligible employees in the following year, the Company will make a one-time catch-up with the difference before the end of March of the following year.

Such utilization is supervised by the Labor Funds Supervisory Committee. With regard to the utilization of the fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorized by the competent authority. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilization Report announced by the government The Company’s pension accounts with Taishin International Bank have been fully allocated to demand deposit.

(I) Capital management

The objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that the Company can continue as a going concern, that an optimum capital structure is maintained to lower the cost of capital and that returns are provided to shareholders In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders or issue new shares. Should any borrowings occur, the Company will monitor its capital on the basis of the debt-to-equity ratio.

The Company monitors capital through the debt-to-equity ratio This ratio is calculated as total loans less cash and cash equivalents then divided by total equity. The Company’s strategic maintenance in 2021 to pin the debt-to-equity ratio in between 0% and 30% remains unchanged from that in 2020.

  1. Risk management policies

The Company’s daily operations are subject to a number of financial risks, including market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and performance.

The Company’s significant financial risk management is controlled with review by the Board of Directors in accordance with relevant regulations and internal control systems. The financial risk management plan has been established to identify and analyze the financial risks faced by the Company and assess their impact and to implement relevant policies to avoid financial risks and to regularly review the financial risk policy to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s operations.

  1. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks

  2. (1) Market risk

Exchange rate risk

  • A. The Company engages in business involving foreign currency transactions and is therefore subject to exchange rate fluctuations and exchange rate risk arising from different currencies, mainly USD. The related exchange rate risk arises from future business transactions and recognized assets. Exchange rate risk arises when future business transactions and recognized assets are denominated in the functional currency of the entity

  • B. The Company has no significant foreign currency financial liabilities. An analysis of foreign currency assets subject to significant exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency market risk due to significant exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

  • C. The total amount of exchange losses (both realized and unrealized) recognized in 2021 and 2020 was $1,855 and $3,155, respectively, due to the significant impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company’s monetary items.

  • (2) Price risk

  • A. The Company’s equity instruments exposed to price risk are financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage the price risk of equity securities, the Company diversifies its investment portfolio in a manner that is based on the limits set by the Company. To manage the price risk of investments of equity instruments, the Company diversifies its investment portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

  • B. The Company invests mainly in equity instruments and beneficiary certificates that are not listed on TWSE or TPEx. The prices of these equity instruments are affected by the uncertainty of the future value of the underlying investments.

  • (3) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • A. The Company’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at floating rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risks which

~57~

are partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at floating rates. For year 2021 and 2020, the Company’s borrowings based on floating interest rate were denominated in NTD.

  • B. The Company simulates various scenarios and analyzes interest rate risk, including consideration of refinancing, renewal of existing outstanding, and other available financing and hedging instruments, to calculate the impact of changes in specific interest rates on profit or loss. For each simulated scenario, the same interest rate change is applied to all currencies. These simulated scenarios are used only for significant interest-bearing liabilities.

  • C. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, if the interest rate of all borrowings increased by 1% with all other factors held constant, net profits after tax would have decreased by $2,742 and $1,376 for 2021 and 2020, primarily due to the floating rate of borrowings that increases interest expense.

  • (4) Credit risk

  • A. The Company’s credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the failure of customers or counterparties to financial instruments to meet their contractual obligations, mainly from the failure of counterparties to settle accounts receivable on payment terms.

  • B. For receivables arising from operating activities, the Company has established relevant credit risk management mechanisms and regularly evaluates the financial position, credit limits and other factors of the related debtors, and the current creditworthiness of the receivables is good and there was no significant credit risk according to the assessment. The cash and cash equivalents have been assessed to be free of material risk.

  • C. The Company assumes that a default is deemed to have occurred when payments are more than 60 days overdue in accordance with the contractual payment terms.

  • D. The Company categorizes accounts receivable from customers according to the characteristics of revenue types and estimates expected credit losses based on the loss ratio method on a simplified basis.

  • E. The Company has estimated the allowance for losses on accounts receivable by incorporating forward-looking adjustments to the loss rate established based on historical and current information for a specific period, as the Company’s customers are of good credit and the overdue accounts receivable and the overdue loss rate were not material as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

  • F. There was no sign of impairment of the Company’s notes receivable.

  • G. The Company’s allowance for losses on accounts receivable on a simplified basis has not changed from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020. The allowance for losses on accounts receivable was $0 as of 2021 and 2020.

~58~

(5) Liquidity risk

  • A. The Company’s finance department prepares future cash flow forecasts to monitor future capital needs and to ensure that sufficient funds are available for disbursement, and maintains sufficient borrowing facilities to adjust for future funding shortfalls.

  • B. The following schedule shows the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities, grouped by the relevant maturity date. Non-derivative financial liabilities are analyzed based on the remaining tenor from the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The contractual cash flow amounts disclosed in the Table below are undiscounted amounts.

(III) Fair value information

  1. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

  2. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  3. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company’s investments in non-listed stocks belong to this.

  4. For financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value, the Company classifies them based on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and fair value level. The related information is as follows

  1. The company has carefully evaluated the valuation models and valuation parameters selected and therefore the fair value measurement is reasonable. However, the use of different valuation models or valuation parameters may result in different valuation results. For financial assets and financial liabilities classified as Level 3, the effect on the profit or loss for the period or other comprehensive income if the valuation parameters are changed is as follows.
