For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the remunerations to employees amounted to \$24,048, \$19,445, \$79,398 and \$59,282, respectively, and the remunerations to directors amounted to \$3.247, \$2.665, \$10.788 and \$8.069, respectively. These amounts were calculated using the Company's net income before tax without the remunerations to employees and directors for each period, multiplied by the proposed percentage which is stated under the Company's proposed Article of Incorporation. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or expenses for each period. Shares distributed to employees as employees' remuneration are calculated based on the closing price of the Company's shares on the day before the approval by the Board of Directors.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the remunerations to employees amounted to \$69,459 and \$53,166, respectively, and the remunerations to directors amounted to \$9,301 and \$7,204, respectively. The remunerations above are identical to those of the actual distributions. The information is available on the Market Observation Post System website.

Financial Instruments $(r)$

Except for the contention mentioned below, there was no significant change in the fair value of the Group's financial instruments and degree of exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk arising from financial instruments. For the related information, please refer to note $6(s)$ of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

  • $(i)$ Credit risk
  • $1)$ Credit risk exposure

The carrying amount of financial assets and contract assets represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk.

$2)$ Concentration of credit risk

The Group's customers are mainly from the pharmaceutical industry; therefore, the Group does not concentrate on a specific customer and the sales regions are widely spread, thus, there should be no concern on the significant concentrations of accounts receivable credit risk. And in order to mitigate accounts receivable credit risk, the Group constantly assesses the financial status of its customers, wherein it does not require its customers to provide any collateral.

  • $3)$ Receivables and debt securities
  • For credit risk exposure of notes and trade receivables, please refer to note 6(d). a)
  • $b)$ Other financial assets at amortized cost include other receivables and time deposits. The counterparties of the time deposits held by the Group are the financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Therefore, the credit risk is considered to be low.
  • (ii) Liquidity Risk

(iii) Currency risk

$\left{ \right}$ Exposure to foreign currency risk

The Group's significant exposure to foreign currency risk was as follow:

currency

$2)$ Sensitivity analysis

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans and borrowings, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency.

The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. A strengthening (weakening) 1% of the functional currency against each foreign currency for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 would have affected the net profit before tax increased or decreased \$6,093 and \$5,542, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

$3)$ Foreign exchange gain and loss on monetary items

The exchange gains and losses of monetary items, including realized and unrealized, are changed into functional currency, which is the Group's presentation currency. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the exchange gains (losses), including realized and unrealized, are $\$(10,614)$ , $\$(2,235)$ , $\$(20,058)$ and \$10,351, respectively.

(iv) Interest rate analysis

For the details of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk, please refer to note $6(r)$ liquidity risk.

The details of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk were as follows:

Carrying amount
September 30, September 30,
2020
2019
Variable rate instruments:
Financial assets S 217.238 183,900
Financial liabilities

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding assets with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of assets outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the Group management's assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by $0.25\%$ , the Group's net profit before tax would have increased or decreased by \$407 and \$345, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, with all other variable factors remaining constant. This is mainly due to the Group's bank savings with variable interest rates.

  • Fair value $(v)$
  • Fair value hierarchy $\left| \right|$

The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured on a recurring basis. The carrying amount and fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities, including the information on fair value hierarchy were as follows; however, except as described in the following paragraphs, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is reasonably close to the fair value, and lease liabilities, disclosure of fair value information is not required:

$2)$ Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value

The Group's valuation techniques and assumptions used for financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost a)

If there is quoted price generated by transactions, the recent transaction price and quoted price data is used as the basis for fair value measurement. However, if no quoted prices are available, the discounted cash flows are used to estimate fair values.

  • $3)$ Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value
  • Non-derivative financial instruments a)

Financial instruments trade in active markets is based on quoted market prices. The quoted price of a financial instrument obtained from main exchanges and on-therun bonds from Taipei Exchange can be used as a base to determine the fair value of the listed companies' equity instrument and debt instrument of the quoted price in an active market.

If a quoted price of a financial instrument can be obtained in time and often from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industrial union, pricing institute, or authorities and such price can reflect those actual trading and frequently happen in the market, then the financial instrument is considered to have a quoted price in an active market. If a financial instrument is not in accord with the definition mentioned above, then it is considered to be without a quoted price in an active market. In general, market with low trading volume or high bid-ask spreads is an indication of a non-active market.

Measurements of fair value of financial instruments without an active market are based on a valuation technique or quoted price from a competitor. Fair value measured by a valuation technique can be extrapolated from similar financial instruments, the discounted cash flow method, or other valuation technique including a model using observable market data at the reporting date.

The measurement of fair value of a non-active market financial instruments held by the Group which do not have quoted market prices are based on the comparable market approach, with the use of key assumptions of price-book ratio multiple or earnings multiple of comparable listed companies as its basic measurement. These assumptions have been adjusted for the effect of discount without the marketability of the equity securities.

$4)$ Transfer from one level to another

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there was no transfer from one level to another.

  • Fair value through other comprehensive income Unquoted equity instruments $\overline{\mathbf{S}}$ January 1, 2020 108.619 Total gains and losses recognized: In other comprehensive income $(16, 131)$ September 30, 2020 92,488 75,296 January 1, 2019 Total gains and losses recognized: In other comprehensive income 18,034 September 30, 2019 93,330
  • Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values 5)

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, total gains and losses that were included in unrealized gains and losses from financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income were as follows:

$6)$ Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement

The Group's financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value include "financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income - debt investments". Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - equity investments without an active market have more than one significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - equity investments without an active market are individually independent, and there is no correlation between them.

$7)$ Fair value measurements in Level $3$ – sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions

The Group's measurement on the fair value of financial instruments is deemed reasonable despite different valuation models or assumptions that may lead to various results. For fair value measurements in Level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions would have the following effects on profit or loss and other comprehensive income:
