I. Report to the Shareholders
In 2019, the global market was so volatile, although the global jewelry industry gradually grew by 5% per year. However, Regal Holding was affected by the strategy of inventory adjustment of major biggest client in Q1 and consideration of corporate social responsibility and difficulty of cultivating employees’ techniques. Regal Holding adopted the measure of adjustment human resources allocation led to first-time loss through the years . Management team do apologize to employees and shareholders. Therefore, Regal Holding reviewed the clients and cost structure. In Q3 2019, the order and the adjustment strategy gradually grew up, net income in September turned a loss into a profit. Although the global market still has many uncertain factors in 2020, but we believe that Regal Holding walked out of trough. The Company and management team with strong fundamental will provide boutiques with higher quality for clients and global consumers.
The revenues in 2019 were NT$1,809,297,000, which was 38.21% lower than the previous year. Net loss after tax was NT$146,304,000 and after-tax loss per share was NT$3.83. From the prospective of revenues of jewelry processing combination, the revenues in metalworking was 25.9% lower than the previous year, the revenues in plating was 65.91% lower than the previous year. The gross profit of metalworking in 2019 was down to 10.69% from 24.84% in the previous year. The gross profit of plating was down to 17.21% from 34.54% in the previous year because of biggest clients’ adjustment strategy and labor cost caused gross margin has diluted. Moreover, Baht dollar appreciated 7.88% against the US dollar in 2019 caused the realized and unrealized exchange losses totaled NT$13,865,000. The Company was also affected by clients’ accounting adjustment, financial costs totaled NT$4,228,000 in 2019 , an increase of NT$3,523,000 than the previous year.
For managing cost more effectively, Regal Holding not only improved the estimate of manpower needs and adjustment mechanism, but also used human resource integration and improved the rate of research and development in administrative cost and research expense. Therefore, in 2019, administrative expense has decreased 21.51% than the previous year, research and development expense has decreased 11.64% than the previous year. Facing our biggest client promoted the rate of self-capacity and outsource difficult crafts, we kept strengthening our production process and performing research, development and selling expense more carefully. In financial risk control, the Company adopted a strategy of separating the weak from the strong and control of currency risk. Meanwhile, we strengthened surveillance of account receivable to minimize the uncertainty factor of profit.

Facing the impact of the above external unfavorable factors, Regal Holding re-created the Company’s image and reorganized internal and external resources in 2019. The Company developed new clients also reduced OEM proportion of one single client. In response consumers’ market’s change of products with small quantities and diversities, the Company also started to distribute lines to produce small quantities, high gross profit, quick reaction capacity, and multiplex in one station. The Company also redistributes the sales channels of our own brand, online e-commerce and social platforms in end consumers' market at the same time. The Company is looking forward to the transfer of the crisis. Meanwhile, the Company is building sustainable development to develop operation vigorously.

In the report of Credence Research, North America is expected to be the fastest growing market. Among them, the young consumer groups (such as the millennial generation)
79
who newly came out of the society and the middle-class consumer groups will become important promoters of the growth of the jewelry industry. The millennial generation who comes into youth period gradually was born from 1980 to 1990 (Wikipedia, 2019). They have not only the strong consumer power but also high degree of independence and autonomy (Hawkins and Mothersbaugh, 2012). While pursuing life quality and enjoying life instantly, they have high sense about brands and fashion (Morton, 2002). According to the research of Bain & Company in 2015, the total number of millennial generations in China, India, and America are about 900 million and the total incomes are about US$8 trillion. The huge income brings enormous opportunities (Olya Linde, 2016).

It shows strong Chinese jewelry consumption because the needs of middle-class consumers are improved to stimulate the growth of retail sales of mainstream jewelry. It indicates that consumers have begun to pay attention to factors such as improving their quality of life, cultural literacy and personal taste after they have achieved considerable standards of income.
- b. the links between the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments of the industry supply chain
Fine jewelry industry is one of the long historic industry. The chain of industry is pretty mature and the chain can be divided into upstream: raw material and equipment suppliers that supply the precious metals and gems for jewelry production, and production manufacture equipment for stone setting; midstream: design and manufacturers, mainly focus on jewelry designs, components, and mold manufacturing, automated process equipment, and the follow-up production and sales; downstream: distributors, mainly through the global and regional brands to enter the retails in order to sale to consumers. The Company is a jewelry design, manufacture, and sales company that belongs to midstream. The Company introduced various materials from upstream raw material suppliers, such as gold, silver, and platinum and then after the process of designing, molding, casting, stamping, grinding, stone setting, soldering, polishing, plating, and packing, finish products will be delivered to the downstream distributors to sale products to customers in need. The relations between the up, middle and down streams of the Company's industry is shown as following:

c. Development trends of products
-
(1) Customize craft arts
For design and manufacture of products, the Company values the skills of jewelry manufacture and the nature of products is mainly based on metal casting and hand-set stone, including pendants, rings, wristbands, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, cufflinks, and pins. In the future, besides continuously accumulating experience and knowledge of jewelry manufacture, the Company will make products more personalized and customized by combining aesthetic designs and craft art skills as a basis for constantly innovation.
- (2) Focus on design features
With the change of consumption habits, the young people nowadays prefer personalized and refined products which are sophisticated, small, delicate, not over-designed, and complied with invigorating colors. The whole piece of jewelry that are more vivid and eye-catching simplified styles are more attracted to working women. Fashionable jewelry that emphasizes design senses and personal tastes cater to the mid and high-end consumer purchase intention. Therefore, the emphasis on designing the jewelry can give consumers a lively, interesting, fashionable and expensive atmosphere, and combine jewelry with life to exude personal taste.
- (3) Leading fashion trends
The predication of fashion trends and accuracy and immediacy of information acquisition are relatively important in jewelry boutique industry, in order to offer clients important basis for the latest product selection and to enhance the tightness of supply and demand between the two parties, so as to maintain good relations and interaction. The Company
81
collects information of jewelry and accessories by jewelry fairs and fashion newsletters, fashionable products, such as glue crystal products, bead jewelry that can be changed at will, new metal jewelry styles and wax on stone styles, etc... The Company plans new design drawings every year and introduce new products for customers to choose every quarter and feedbacks customers the latest information based on the principle of customization.
d. Competition
The company is in the fashion industry, the product changes quickly and the style is various. Although there are many manufacturers of jewelry, most of them are small processing factories, and most of them are based on imitating the products that cannot lead the trends. However, the company avoids highly competitive consumer markets, focusing on a small number of customized niche markets. In addition to producing refined jewelry, the Company also provides customized service. The Company introduces design drawings for customers to choose and produced by master craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship. For example, the company is favored by internationally renowned jewelry boutiques, and the rose-gold series and K-gold products are the best examples. Therefore, the manufacturers without foresight of design abilities, exquisite craftsmanship, and flexibilities of producing skills are difficult to survive in competition. Therefore, as far as the Company is concerned, there is still room for growth in the future.

c. Demand and supply conditions for the market in the future and the market's growth potential During the process of branding, the jewelry industry is also facing challenges by the modern technology development and differences of consuming types (Van Gelder, 2005).
-
(1) Convenience of Technology- the dominance of modern virtual channels in jewelry market With the growing popularity of modern mobile technology and the Internet, the development of online virtual channels lets the jewelry market no longer only use simple offline physical channels in the past. In the past, offline physical channels dominated mainly because most of customers relied on physical channels to purchase jewelry. With the advancement of times and technology, online virtual channels will be in the state of rapid growth. Customers who can use technology well will more intend to buy jewelry online. Most brands have advantages in easily paying functions, returning policies, and customer service which are provided by electronics retailers. While doing the structure of jewelry brands, the corporation must gain an important competitive advantage and differentiate it from competitors to enhance competitiveness and brand equity for jewelry brands.
-
(2) Change of consuming types- counterfeit products invade in the jewelry market Problems of counterfeit products are worthy of attention in the jewelry industry (Olsen, JE, Granzin, KL, 1992; Carty, 1994). While the supply sides downsize the cost of production, the price advantages of product can be raised naturally, and it promotes customers can easily acquire products to satisfy their own interests. However, in the market where information asymmetry, online virtual channels have concerns about purchasing. Whenever there are counterfeit or imitate brands, customers are hard to distinguish, which leads them to distrust online virtual channels and products’ qualities. Besides, the invasion of counterfeit products in jewelry shall not be underestimated. When customers have limited budget, in order to pursue of great utility and satisfaction, they will make more adjustments in the allocation of their resources. Even if consumers are unable to distinguish between counterfeit products and real products, they will increase their willingness to purchase counterfeit products.
-
(3) The disadvantage of the image of the source countries - the sorrow of emerging countries
86
In the supply chains of jewelry, products are mainly manufactured by emerging countries’ OEM and sold through brands. In the long run, profits of brands are much larger than OEM foundries. If OEM foundries want to have more profits, they need to create additional value by establishing brands. However, in the past, products made by emerging countries were considered low-quality and counterfeit products. For those OEM foundries which want to establish jewelry brands, this is at a disadvantage. The image of source countries will hinder the actual sales growth of jewelry and damage the original brands’ values (Ko et.al, 2009).
The source countries of the jewelry brands on the market are mostly new countries with sophisticated craftsmanship and fashionable design. Customers can ensure products’ qualities, looks, and design styles by what they recognized brands’ countries image. Therefore, while establishing jewelry brands, OEM foundries in emerging countries will face the impact of source countries’ images and huge challenges of customers’ doubts. d. Competitive niche

-
fundamental, we made full preparations and countermeasure at the beginning of the epidemic. We strengthened our internal fundamental, and made a crisis into a favorable turn.

-
(2) Negative factors and Responses
-
i. Price fluctuation of raw materials
As the main production materials of the jewelry industry are precious metals, the price is subject to fluctuations in international market conditions, which easily affects production costs and quotations, thus creating operational risks. Response:
When the Company undertakes clients’ orders, the quotations will be after referring to the most recent raw material market price to reduce the risk of raw material cost change. In addition, the Company will also monitor the raw material market and adjust the safety stocks in a timely manner in response to market trends in order to meet the risk of fluctuations in the prices of raw materials.
- ii. Increase of labor costs
Jewelry boutique industry is a labor- and skill-intensive industry. Skilled master craftsmen are not easy to train. After the increase of basic wage of Thailand in 2013, along with the improvement of Thailand’s economy and the increased demands of job markets, it has exerted certain pressure on the Company’s operation.
Responses:
Due to the jewelry industry still emphasizes on craftsmanship texture by handmade, the Company has divided the manufacture procedures into 8 major parts and introduced automated production and improved manufacture procedures in some production processes. By appropriate skills separations, it can reduce the dependency of craftsmen in order to lower the risks of increasing salary.

1. As for the part that shareholders convene meetings on his/their own, there is no special term about it in Cayman Islands’ Company Act. Therefore, the Article 19.6 and 19.7 of the Articles of Association does not regulate the shareholders to report to the competent authority for permission before convening the shareholders' temporary meeting. 2. Besides, if the shareholders are going to convene meeting outside of the territory of R.O.C. on their own, they do not need to report to the competent authority for permission before convening the shareholders' temporary meeting. Therefore, the Article 19.6 and 19.7 of the Articles of Association only regulates that the meeting shall be reported to GTSM or TWSE (as applicable in its case) for approval instead of “the application of approval of Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation must be submitted in two days after shareholders obtain the permission from authorizedgovernments.” |

1.About the methods of resolutions of shareholders’ meetings, except the regular resolutions and supermajority resolutions, the Article 1.1 states the definition of Special Resolution of Cayman Islands’ Company Laws, is a resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company by a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such Members who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by their proxies, or, in the case of Members that are corporations or other non- natural person, by their duly authorized representatives by computing the number of votes to which each Member is entitled. 2.According to the regulation of Cayman Islands’ Company Laws, the followings should be adopted by special resolutions: (1) modification or alteration the Company’s Articles of Association According to Cayman Islands laws, modification or alteration the Company’s Articles of Association shall be adopted by special resolutions. Therefore, in Article 12.1 of the Company’s Articles of Association, the thresholds of resolutions have been modified rather than changing to supermajority resolutions complied with “Checklist for the Protection of Shareholders' Equity of Foreign |

(2) Dissolution: According to Cayman Islands’ Law, if the Company resolves that it be wound up voluntarily because the Company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, the resolution of dissolution shall be adopted by shareholders’ meetings. However, if the Company is wound up voluntarily for reasons other than above ones, the dissolution shall be resolved by Special Resolution in accordance with Cayman Islands’ Company Act. Therefore, in Article 12.4(a) of the Company’s Articles of Association, the thresholds of resolutions of dissolution of the Company voluntarily due to unable to pay the debts as they fall due have been modified rather than changing to supermajority resolutions complied with “Checklist for the Protection of Shareholders' Equity of Foreign Issuers.” (3) Consolidation or merger: The voting methods of engaging “within the definition of "merger" and/or "consolidation" under the Law” are mandatory provision in Cayman |

| Islands’ Company Act. Therefore, in Article 12.3(b) of the Company’s Articles of Association, any Merger (except for any Merger which falls within the definition of "merger" and/or "consolidation" under the Law, which requires the approval of the Company by Special Resolution only) shall be adopted by supermajority resolutions. 3.The difference between the above matters and the Checklist for the Protection of Shareholders' Equity of Foreign Issuers is the matters shall be adopted by supermajority resolutions in important matters of protection of shareholders’ equity are regulated to supermajority resolutions and special resolutions respectively in the Company’s Articles of Association. This kind of difference is because of the Cayman Islands laws. Since the matters shall be adopted by supermajority resolutions in important matters of protection of shareholders’ equity are regulated to supermajority resolutions and special resolutions respectively in the Company’s Articles of Association, the Articles of Association shall have a limited impact on shareholders' equityin thispart. |

There is no notion of “supervisors” in Cayman Islands’ Company Act; therefore, while applying for the listed company, the Audit Committee is set instead of supervisors. As a result, there is no relevant regulations of supervisors in the Articles of Association. |

shareholders’ request to institute an action against a director of the Company in Article 214 of Company Act, R.O.C. In Article 48.3 of the Articles of Association, to the extent permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands, Members continuously holding one per cent (1%) or more of the total issued shares of the Company for over six months or longer may: (a) request in writing the Board to authorize any Independent Director of the Audit Committee to file a petition with the Taipei District Court, ROC for and on behalf of the Company against any of the Directors; or (b) request in writing any Independent Director of the Audit Committee to file a petition for and on behalf of the Company against any of the Directors; the petition may be filed with the Taipei District Court, ROC as the court of the first instance; or the Member(s) may, to the extent permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands, file a petition with the Taipei District Court, ROC for and on behalf of the Company against the relevant Directors within thirty (30) days after such Member(s) having made the request under the preceding clause (a) or (b) if (i) in the case of clause (a), the Board fails to make such authorization or the Independent Director of the Audit Committee having been authorized by the Board fails to file such petition, or (ii) in the case of clause (b), the Independent Director of the Audit Committee fails to file such petition. However, according to Cayman Islands’ regulations, about the above regulations, Cayman Islands’ lawyers remind the followings: The Company Act of Cayman Islands does not have specific regulation to allow minority shareholders institute an action against a |
126
| Material matters of protection of shareholder equity |
Articles of Association and reasons of differences |
|---|---|
| director of the Company. The Articles of Association is not a contract between shareholders and directors, but an agreement between shareholders and the Company. Therefore, even though the Articles allows minority shareholders to institute an action against directors, the Cayman Islands’ lawyers think this will not be able to bond directors. However, under the regular laws, all shareholders (including minority shareholders), no matter what his/her share hold percentage is or how long he/she holds shares, have the right to request to institute an action (including against a director). Once shareholders institute an action, the Cayman Islands’ court have the full power to decide whether the shareholders can continue the lawsuit. Repeatedly, even though the Articles of Association allow minority shareholders(or shareholders with the required shareholding ratio or shareholding period), institute an action against a director on behalf of the Company; however, the continuation of the lawsuit will ultimately depend on the decision of the Cayman Islands court. According to the relevant judgment of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, when the Cayman Islands courts consider whether to approve the continuation of derivative proceedings, the applicable criterion is whether the Cayman Islands courts believe and accept that the plaintiff’s request on behalf of the company is ostensibly substantive. The wrongdoings claimed by the company are controlled by the controllable company, and the controllers can prevent the company from litigating it. According to the Cayman Islands’ Laws, the Board of Directors shall act on behalf of the Companyas a whole(not individual |
127
| Material matters of protection of shareholder equity |
Articles of Association and reasons of differences |
|---|---|
| directors) to make decisions. Therefore, directors shall follow the resolution of the Board of Directors to authorize any director on behalf of the Company according to the Articles of Association to file the charge to other directors. The Company Act of Cayman Islands does not regulate that shareholders may request directors of the company to convene board of directors’ meetings to resolute specific matters. However, the Company Act of Cayman Islands does not prohibit the company from establishing Articles of Association and relevant rules of procedures of board meetings (including the regulations of conveningboard meetings.) |
|
| 1. Directors of the Company shall have the loyalty and shall exercise the due care of a good administrator in conducting the business operation of the company; and if he/she has acted contrary to this provision, shall be liable for the damages to be sustained by the company there-from. In case the responsible person of a company does anything for himself/herself or on behalf of another person in violation of the behaviors, the meeting of shareholders may, by a resolution, consider the earnings in such an act as earnings of the company 2. If directors of the Company have, in the course of conducting the business operations, violated any provision of the applicable laws and/or regulations and thus caused damage to any other person, he/she shall be liable, jointly and severally, for the damage to such other person. 3. The managers and supervisors, acting within the scope of their duties, shall also be liable for the damages, same as the directors of the Company. |
In the Article 48.4 of the Articles of Association, “Without prejudice and subject to the general directors’ duties that a Director owe to the Company and its shareholders under common law principals and the laws of the Cayman Islands, a Director shall perform his fiduciary duties of loyalty and due care of a good administrator in the course of conducting the Company’s business, and shall indemnify the Company, to the maximum extent legally permissible, from any loss incurred or suffered by the Company arising from breach of his fiduciary duties. If a Director has made any profit for the benefit of himself or any third party as a result of any breach of his fiduciary duties, the Company shall, if so resolved by the Members by way of an Ordinary Resolution, take all such actions and steps as may be appropriate and to the maximum extent legally permissible to seek to recover such profit from such relevant Director.

The Officers, in the course of performing their duties to the Company, shall assume such duties and obligations to indemnify the Company in the same manner as if they are Directors.” However, according to Cayman Islands’ regulations, about the above regulations, Cayman Islands’ lawyers remind the followings: In Cayman Island’s law, generally speaking, managers or supervisors do not take the same responsibilities as the company’s directors to the company or shareholders. However, if managers or supervisors are authorized to represent top- level executives, they shall share the same responsibilities as the company’s directors. For the avoidance of doubt, companies in Cayman Islands generally regulate the managers’ or supervisors’ responsibilities and obligations to companies and shareholders in their service contracts. For the same reason, because the company’s Articles of Association is the agreement between shareholders and the company, managers or supervisors are not litigants of the company’s Articles of Association. Therefore, any penalty of damages that claims to managers or supervisors who violate their obligations shall be regulated in their service contracts. From the prospect of Cayman Island’s law, the company’s Articles of Association is the agreement between shareholders and the applying company and directors of the applying companyare not litigants of the company’s |

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of
Regal Holding Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Regal Holding Co., Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries ("the Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), International Accounting Standards ("IASs"), Interpretation developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China ("the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Based on our judgment, the key audit matters that should be disclosed in this audit report are as follows:
- Revenue recognition
Please refer to Note 4(m) and Note 6(s) of the consolidated financial statement for the related disclosures on revenue recognition.
3-1
Description of key audit matter:
Revenue is one of the key performance indicators for evaluating the financial and operational performance of the Group and draws public attention. Therefore, the revenue recognition was considered one of the key audit matters in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our audit procedures included:
Assessing and testing the design, as well as the effectiveness of the operation on internal controls over sales and collection cycle; conducting trend analysis on revenues generated from top ten customers to assess the existence of any significant exception; performing tests of detail on sales transactions to assess the existence of the transactions and the accuracy of the recognized sales as well as the timing of the recognition; performing sales cut-off test over a period prior and post to the balance sheet date by vouching related documents of sales transactions to determine whether revenue have been recognized in proper period.
2. Subsequent measurement of inventories
Please refer to Note 4(h), Note 5 and Note 6(f) for the related disclosures on subsequent measurement of inventories.
Description of key audit matter:
The inventory of the Group comprises gems, jewelry and raw materials. Since fashion and trends keep changing rapidly and constantly, inventories might become out of date and difficult to meet market demand resulting in the risk that net realizable value of inventories is likely to be lower than costs.
The inventories are measured and recognized subsequently by the Group's management based on both internal and external evidence. Therefore, the subsequent measurement of inventories is considered one of the key audit matters in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our audit procedures included:
Assessing the reasonableness of accounting policies for subsequent measurement of inventories; obtaining aging analysis of inventories and analyzing changes in inventory age categories to verify the appropriateness of the changes; obtaining details of subsequent measurement of inventories and understanding the reasonableness of selling prices adopted; verifying net realizable value of inventories by vouching the source documents of samples and determining whether related subsequent measurement of inventories has been appropriately disclosed .
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
3-2
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
3-3
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 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 Lily Lu and Chun-Hsiu Kuang.

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
| are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. | |
|---|---|
| Effective date | |
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | per IASB |
| IFRS 16 “Leases” | January 1, 2019 |
| IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments” | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 “Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation” | January 1, 2019 |

REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach in measuring its right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liability, with no restatement of comparative information. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below.
(i) Definition of a lease
Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in note 4(j).
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which existing contracts are leases. The Group applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into, or modified on or after, January 1, 2019.
(ii) As a lessee
As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Group. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognizes its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.
The Group decided to apply the recognition exemptions to its short-term leases or its leases of low-value assets such as printers and other office equipment.
At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Rightof-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.
In addition, the Group used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases.
-
-Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. -
-Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term. -
(iii) Impacts on financial statements
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognized an additional amount of $3,083 thousands of both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted the lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied was 2.60%.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as "the Regulations") and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (hereinafter referred to as "the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC").
(b) Basis of preparation
- (i) Basis of measurement
Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:
-
1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;
-
2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value.

-
(ii) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each entity of the Group is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollar, which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(c) Basis of consolidation
- (i) Principles of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Gains and losses attributable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(d) Foreign currencies
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss.
(ii) Foreign operation
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated at the average exchange rate in the reporting period. Translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.
- (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;
(Continued)
14
REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
-
(ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
(iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period;
-
(iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.
An entity shall classify a liability as current when:
-
(i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
-
(ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
(iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, despite the fact that a long-term refinance is completed or a debt agreement is rearranged during the period between the reporting date and the approval date.
-
(iv) It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand, demand deposits, checking deposits and fixed deposits. Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows.
- (g) Financial instruments
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting on a consistent basis.
Trade receivables issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (except for a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
(Continued)
15
REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- (i) Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), or FVTPL.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model
- 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
-
‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
‧ its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any impairment. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
- 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
- 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are classified as FVTPL.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
(Continued)
16
REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
4) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes impairment for expected credit losses ("ECL") on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets).
At each reporting date, the Group performs impairment assessment on its financial assets and contract assets with significant financing components. The Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, as well as forward looking information. The Group measures impairment at an amount equal to 12 month ECL when the credit risk of a financial asset has not increased significantly. It measures impairment at an amount equal to lifetime ECL when the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly. Impairment for accounts receivable and contract assets which do not contain a significant financing component are measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, as well as forward looking information.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Impairment for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. The Group recognizes the increase of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
(Continued)
17
REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- 5) Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of its financial assets.
(ii) Financial liabilities
- 1) Other financial liabilities
Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, including short-term loans, trade payables and other payables. Subsequent to initial recognition, those financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method, except for short-term financial liabilities, for which interest impacts are insignificant to the measurement. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in finance costs.
2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in nonoperating income or expenses.
- 3) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
The Group presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis in the balance sheet when the Group has the legally enforceable right to offset, and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(h) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
-
(i) Property, plant and equipment
-
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
(Continued)
18
REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
(iii) Depreciation
Except that land is not depreciated, depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| Buildings | 10~20 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 5 years |
| Transportation equipment | 5 years |
| Office equipment | 3~5 years |
| Land improvement | 5 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(j) Lease
Applicable from January 1, 2019
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
(Continued)
19
REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-ofuse asset has been reduced to zero.
The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be reliably determined. If that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Group shall use its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Applicable before January 1, 2019
Leases in which the Group assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the lease asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the asset.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Other leases are operating leases and are not recognized in the Group's balance sheets.
Payments made under operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Total income provided from lessor as an incentive to achieve the agreement is recognized as a reduction of expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Contingent rent is recognized as expense in the period in which it is incurred
(k) Intangible assets
The Group's intangible assets are computer programs, which are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are 3~5 years.
The amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(Continued)
20
REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(l) Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than assets arising from inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for the individual asset, then the Group will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash generating unit ("CGU").
The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount; and that reduction will be accounted as an impairment loss, which shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.
An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of that asset is estimated. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill is reversed to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
(m) Revenue
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
(n) Employee benefits
(i) Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

(ii) Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, based on the discounted present value of the said defined benefit obligation. The fair values of any plan assets are deducted for purposes of determining the Group's net defined benefit obligation. The discount rate used in calculating the present value is the market yield at the reporting date of high quality market corporate bonds or government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group's obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. If the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the total of the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In calculating the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.
If the benefits of a plan are amended, the pension cost incurred from the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service provided by employees, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest), and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group can reclassify the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings.
(iii) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(o) Share-based payment
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards whose related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
(Continued)
22
REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the sharebased payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(p) Income taxes
Income tax comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
Current taxes comprise the expected tax payable or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:
-
(i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or losses at the time of the transaction;
-
(ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
-
(iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill
Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:
-
(i) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
-
(ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on tither:
-
1) the same taxable entity; or
-
2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
(Continued)
23
REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
(q) Earnings per share
The Group discloses the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The issued shares from capitalization of retained earnings or capitalization of capital surplus are calculated retrospectively, even the record date of capitalization aforementioned is before the submission date of financial statements.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, such as employee compensation .
(r) Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of discrete financial information.
(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the following period.
There are no judgments made in applying accounting policies that have significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Inventories are the account with assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year. As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the management has to determine net realizable value of inventories at the end of reporting period by judgments and estimation. The management estimates the inventory obsolescence and decline in market value and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value.

|---|---|
- 4) Actuarial assumptions
The principal actuarial assumptions at the reporting date were as follows:
| Discount rate (monthly paid employees) Discount rate (daily paid employees) Future salary increase rate (monthly paid employees) Future wages increase rate (daily paid employees) |
December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 1.52%~1.71% 3.38%~3.56% 1.50%~1.89% 3.56%~3.66% 4.26% 5.04% 2.86% 3.04% |
|---|---|
The expected payments to be made by the Group to the defined benefit plans for the oneyear period after the reporting date is $5,461 thousand.

5) Sensitivity analysis
If the actuarial assumptions had changed, the impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligation shall be as follows:
| December 31, 2019 Discount rate (changes: 0.50%) Future salary increasing rate (changes: 0.50%) December 31, 2018 Discount rate (changes: 0.50%) Future salary increasing rate (changes: 0.50%) |
Impact on defined benefit obligations Increased 0.50% Decreased 0.50% (457) 864 470 (438) (899) 949 445 (411) |
|---|---|
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.
There is no change in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of sensitivity analysis for 2019 and 2018.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
The Group allocates 6% of each employee's monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act.

(t) Employee compensation and directors' remuneration
According to the amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation which was approved during the shareholders' meeting at May 20, 2016, no less than 1% of the current-year profit before tax, excluding employee compensation and directors' remuneration, shall be distributed as employee compensation, and no more than 3% of the profit as remuneration to directors. However, if the Company has an accumulated deficit, the profit should first be used to offset the deficit. The compensation and remuneration shall be made by way of cash or stock, or a combination of both, wherein the recipients may include the employees of the Company's affiliated companies who meet certain conditions decided by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Company did not accrue its employee compensation and directors' remuneration for the year ended December 31, 2019, since it suffered a net loss before taxation. The Company accrued $2,354 thousand for employees’ remuneration and $0 for the remunerations to directors for the year ended December 31, 2018. These amounts were calculated using the Company's net income before tax without the remuneration to employees and directors for each period, multiplied by the proposed percentage which is stated under the Company's Article of Incorporation. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or expenses for each period. The relevant information would be available on the Market Observation Post System website. The amounts, as stated in the consolidated financial statements, were identical to those of the actual distributions for 2019 and 2018.

44
REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2) Concentration of credit risk
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, the management also considers the statistical information on the Group's customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate. These factors may have an influence on credit risk. The Group's trade receivables were obviously concentrated on three main customers, which accounted for 92% and 76% of the total amount of trade receivables as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Group's trade receivables concentrated on three main customers were $674,089 thousand and $293,490 thousand, respectively.
3) Credit risk of receivables
Please refer to note 6(d) for information on credit risk of trade receivables; and note 6(f) for details of other receivables. Other receivables were primarily miscellaneous receivables from employees, which would be deducted from payrolls. Therefore, other receivables were determined to have a low credit risk.
(ii) Liquidity Risk
The following table shows the contractual maturity of the financial liabilities excluding the impact of estimated interest.

|||
| Fi | ||||||
- 2) Sensitivity analysis
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk mainly arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on trade receivables and short-term loans, which are denominated in foreign currency.
A strengthening (weakening) of the TWD against the USD for 1% as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, would have decreased (increased) net profit (loss) before tax for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, by $3,434 thousand and $3,159 thousand, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for the prior year.
- 3) Exchange gains and losses of monetary items
Due to the different types of functional currency of the Group, the Group discloses its exchange gains and losses of monetary items aggregately. The Company's exchange gain (loss), including realized and unrealized, were $13,865 thousand and $1,759 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
- (iv) Interest rate analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rate risk for derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date
If the interest rate had increased / decreased by 1%, the Group's net income(loss) before taxation would have decreased / increased by $6,931 thousand and $0 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 with all other variable factors remaining constant. This was mainly due to the Group's borrowing at variable rate.

- 2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value non-derivative
The fair value of offshore fund beneficiary certificate financial instruments was estimated based on the quoted prices in an active market set by the fund management company. The fair value of unlisted equity instruments is estimated and calculated by using the discounted cash flow method on an assumption that the fair values are the present value of the future cash flows that the investee companies expect to produce, using the discount rate which reflects the time value of money and the investment risk premium.

3) The Group seeks to use market observable inputs when measuring the fair values of assets and liabilities. Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:
-

6) Fair value measurements in Level 3 sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions
The Group's measurement of fair values for financial instrument is reasonable. However, a different valuation technique or possible changes to one of the significant unobservable inputs would have different effects. For fair value measurements in Level 3, one of the key significant unobservable inputs is the annual revenue growth rate forecast. The Group did not disclose the sensitivity analysis of that forecast because the possible changes in the annual revenue growth rate forecast would not cause significant potential financial impact.

-
1) credit risk
-
2) liquidity risk
-
3) market risk
The following likewise discusses the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the above-mentioned risks. For more disclosures about the quantitative effects of these risks’ exposures, please refer to the respective notes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
- (ii) Structure of risk management
The Group identifies and analyzes its risks to set appropriate control procedures to ensure the effectiveness of risk management.
The Group uses derivatives to hedge risks. In order to lower the exchange rate risk, interest risk and credit risk, derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments are monitored by its finance management committee and regulated by its internal policies. The internal auditors continuously undertake reviews on policy compliance and maximum risk exposures.
The Group does not trade in financial instruments, including derivatives, for the purpose of arbitrage.
Finance management committee regularly reports to the Board of Directors on operation of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments.

1) Trade and other receivable
In order to reduce the credit risk from receivables, the Group evaluate customers' financial status and obtain insurance coverage for trade receivables from overseas customers. In addition, the Group regularly assesses the collectability and records allowance for expected credit loss. In conclusion, the Company's management is able to control credit risk from trade receivable effectively.
In accordance with the credit policy, all of operating units in the Group are required to perform an analysis of each new customer's credit risk and management before offering payment and delivery terms. The internal risk management evaluates customer credit quality based on financial status, past experience and other factors. An individual risk limit is set on the basis of internal and external ratings. The used credit limit is monitored regularly.
2) Investments
The exposure to credit risk for the bank deposits and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Group's finance management committee, and is properly reviewed and approved based on the approval authority. The Group deals with banks and financial institutions with good credit rating, and selects target companies with caution to control its exposure. Consequently, there is no significant credit risk arising from these counterparties.
3) Guarantees
The Group's policy is to provide endorsements and guarantees only to counter parties who meet the requirements in the Group's Regulations Governing Making Endorsements/ Guarantees. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the endorsement and guarantees provided by the Group were $0 and $9,234 thousand, respectively.
(iv) Liquidity risk
The finance management committee monitors working capital demand based on forecasts. The Group maintains sufficient fund to fulfill operational requirements and retain sufficient credit line to avoid violation of related terms and conditions. The forecast is in consideration of finance project and compliance with the terms of loan agreements. Besides, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group’s unused credit line were $1,525,983 thousand and $1,873,991 thousand, respectively.
(v) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and other prices, will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

1) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, such as NTD, Thai Baht(THB), Hong Kong dollar(HK) and Chinese Yuan (RMB). The currencies used in these transactions are the US Dollar (USD).
The Group does not have significant net exposure to currency risk arising from its receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The Group uses natural hedge as its policy to hedge currency risk.
2) Interest rate risk
The Group’s financial assets with exposure to fluctuation in fair value due to changes in interest rates are bank deposits; financial liabilities with that exposure are short-term loans. However, the changes in fair value of financial instrument due to changes in interest rates are immaterial.
3) Other price risk
The Group held unlisted investments for which there is no quoted market price in active markets. These are strategic investments and are not held for trading. The Group does not actively trade the investment positions. The Group does not expect that there is a significant market risk related to these investments.
(x) Capital management
The Group's objectives for managing capital to safeguard the capacity to continue to operate, to continue to provide a return on shareholders, to maintain the interest of other related parties, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payments to the shareholders, reduce the capital for return to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle any liabilities.
The Group use the debt-to-equity ratio to manage capital. This ratio is the total debt divided by the total equity. The total debt is derived from the total liabilities in the balance sheet. The total equity includes common stocks, capital surplus, retained earnings, other equity and non-controlling interest.
The Group's collective quantitative data is as follows:
| Total liabilities Total equity Debt-to-equity ratio |
December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 $ 913,985 324,757 $ 1,047,013 1,379,632 % 87.29 % 23.54 |
