INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompany consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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.

Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of December 31, 2022, the cash and cash equivalent of the consolidated balance sheet was NT$ 1,237,556 thousand, which represented 20% of the Group’s consolidated total assets. As the Group is still in the research and development phase, it is necessary to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalent balance to support future research and development costs. However, it is taken as a key audit matters due to cash and cash equivalent is a high-risk item.

  • 3 -

Our key audit procedures in response

Our procedures in relation to cash and cash equivalent included:

  1. Evaluate the design and implementation of internal control. Related to cash and cash equivalent, performed test count of cash on hand, checked the bank deposit balance with the bank statements, and send bank confirmation request in accordance with the Auditing Standards No.69. “External confirmation”.

  2. Performed a test audit of the supporting documents for large inflows and outflows of cash and bank deposits, paying attention to changes in cash and bank deposits immediately prior to and after the balance sheet date.

Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Note 4(8.) and 5(2.) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for related disclosures of the Group’s valuation of inventory accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and assumption.

The Group mainly engages in the production and sales of various types of drugs and food supplements. As the regulations to the pharmaceutical industry cause the cost to increase and meanwhile the selling prices are less likely to be affected as they are covered by the health insurance system. Furthermore, the price of food supplement inventory fluctuates due to market competition and the impacts aroused from advertisements. Management assesses that the net realizable value of inventory involves material judgment. Hence, it is taken as a one of the key audit matters.

Our key audit procedures in response

Our procedures in relation to inventory valuation included:

  1. Understand and evaluate the design and implementation of the internal control in relation to inventory.

  2. Perform inventory counts, to identify if there are any inventories which are obsolete or damaged.

  3. Obtain Inventory aging reports to analyses the changes in inventory age, and check the records of

  4. inventory changes to verify the correctness of inventory.

  5. Evaluate the reasonableness of its inventory valuation policy of unmarketable items and obsolescence, and check the latest inventory sales price to evaluate the reasonableness of the net realizable value of the inventory.

  6. Obtain evaluation documents for subsequent measurement of inventories and assess whether they have been measured in accordance with established accounting policies and review if the management’s disclosure on the evaluation of inventory is presented fairly.

Revenue Recognition

Please refer to Note 4(17.) and 5(2.) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for related disclosures of the Group’s revenue recognition accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and assumption.

Some products of the Group provide discounts or annual sales incentives based on the terms of the sales contract. Since the recognition of the revenue is measured on the net basis of the related discounts and incentives, we consider the revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

Our key audit procedures in response

Our procedures in relation to the revenue recognition included:

  1. Evaluate the design and implementation of the internal control in relation to the revenue recognition.

  2. 4 -

  3. Perform sales contract checks to verify whether the records on the recognition of sales revenue agree with the related contract, and evaluate the fairness of the management’s estimated sales discounts and annual sales incentives.

  4. Assess whether the management’s accounting treatments and disclosure in relation to sales discounts and annual sales incentives are presented fairly.

Intangible Assets Impairment

Please refer to Note 4(13.) and 5(2.) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for related disclosures of the Group’s intangible assets impairment accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and assumption.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included intangible assets amounted to NT$ 86,983 thousand, which represented 2% of the Group’s consolidated total assets. The intangible assets of the Group are mainly for the patent technology licensing of the "positively charged liposomes EndoTag-1 anti-tumor drugs". The Group will continue to develop new drugs based on these patented technologies. Because the drugs are still under development, no cash inflow can be generated. As of the balance sheet date, the Group considers external and internal information in determining whether the intangible asset is impaired. If any indication of impairment exists, an assessment of the recoverable amount of the asset is required to confirm the impairment of the intangible asset. Since the impairment assessment performed by management involves critical judgement, we consider impairment assessment of intangible asset as a key audit matter.

Our key audit procedures in response

Our procedures in relation to management’s assessment of indicators of impairment included:

  1. Reviewing the assessment of indicators of impairment provided by the management, and discussing with management to evaluate the following items:

  2. (1)The product characteristics, target markets, technical trends, and possible derivative products of research and development projects and the patented technology licensing are still competitive in the marketplace

  3. (2)There is no significant delay in the progress of the main research and development projects

  4. (3)The total market value of the Group is higher than the net assets as of the balance sheet date.

  5. Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s adoption of the key assumption and sensitivity analysis including the cash-generating units, forecast of cash flows, the possibility for product commercialization and the discount rate.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and 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.

  • 5 -

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

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

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards of 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 the auditing standards of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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

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

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

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

  5. 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 achieve fair presentation.

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

  7. 6 -

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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 Ya Quan Zhang and Jin Shu Pan.

January 1, 2022 (Note 4)
January 1, 2022 (Note 5)
  • Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the New IFRSs above are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

  • Note 2: An entity shall apply these amendments retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the amendments.

  • Note 3: An entity shall apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations on January 1, 2022.

  • 12 -

  • Note 4: These amendments apply to business combinations whose acquisition date occur during the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

  • Note 5: An entity shall apply the Amendment to IFRS 9 to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged during the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. An entity shall apply the Amendment to IAS 41 to fair value measurements for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. An entity shall apply the Amendment to IFRS 1 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

  • A. Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use”

The amendments set out that proceeds from selling items produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management shall not be recognized as a deduction of the asset. Instead, the proceeds from selling such items and the costs of those items, measured in accordance with IAS 2, shall be recognized in profit or loss in accordance with applicable IFRS Standards. Additionally, the amendments clarify that costs of testing whether the asset is functioning properly is the costs of assessing whether the technical and physical performance of the asset is such that it is capable of being used in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes.

The amendment is applicable to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the January 1, 2021 (beginning of the earliest period) presented in the consolidated financial statements in which the entity first applies the amendment. The Group shall recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendment as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at the beginning of that earliest period presented, and restate the information of the comparing period.

  • B. Amendments to IAS 37“Onerous Contracts ─ Cost of Fulfilling a Contract”

The amendments set out that, when determining whether a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises (a) the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract—for example, direct labor and materials; and (b) an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts—for example, an allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling that contract among others.

  • C. Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

The amendments update a reference to the Framework in IFRS 3 and require the acquirer shall determine whether the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay the levy has occurred by the acquisition date within the scope of IFRIC 21.

  • D. Annual Improvement to IFRS Standards 2018-2020

The annual improvement amends several standards. Among which, the Amendment to IFRS 9 clarifies that, in determining whether an exchange or modification of the terms of a financial liability is substantially different from those of the original liability, only fees paid net of fees received between the Group (the borrower) and the lender for the new or modified contract, including fees paid or received by either the Group or the lender on the other’s behalf, shall be included in the ‘10 per cent’ test of the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms.

  • 13 -

The Group evaluates there is no significant impact on its financial position and financial performance as a result of the initial adoption of the standards or interpretations.

  • (2) Effect of amendments to new issuance or amendments to IFRSs endorsed by FSC but not yet adopted by the Group:

New standards, interpretations and amendments to the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2023:

New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Effective Date Announced by IASB Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosures of Accounting Policies” January 1, 2023 (Note 1) Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates” January 1, 2023 (Note 2) Amendments to IAS 12“Deferred Tax Related to Assets January 1, 2023 (Note 3) and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction”

Note1: The amendments are applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

  • Note2: These amendments apply to changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies that occur during annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

  • Note3: Except for deferred taxes for temporary differences associated with lease and decommissioning obligations, the amendments will be applied prospectively to transactions that occur on or after January 1, 2022.

  • A. Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosures of Accounting Policies”

This amendment clarifies that accounting policy information may be evaluated to be material due to the scale or nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions and needed to be disclosed. If the scale or nature of the transactions, other events or conditions are evaluated to be immaterial, and then the disclosure would be not necessary. However, the conclusion which accounting policy information is not significant, does not affect the relevant disclosures required by other IFRS standards.

  • B. Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

The amendments define accounting estimates as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty and clarify that a change in measurement techniques or inputs used to develop an accounting estimate is a change in accounting estimates unless the change is due to an error from prior periods.

  • C. Amendments to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction”

The amendments narrow the exemption extent in paragraphs 15 and 24 of IAS 12 for an entity from recognizing a deferred tax asset or liability in particular circumstances. In particular, the exemption does not apply to a transaction that gives rise to equal taxable and deductible difference at the time of the transaction. At the initial application of the amendments, an entity shall, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, recognise deferred taxes for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with (i) lease and (ii) decommissioning liabilities and recognise the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The main accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial report are explained below. Unless otherwise stated, these policies apply consistently throughout all reporting periods.

  • (1.) Statement of Compliance

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

  • (2.) Basis of Preparation the Consolidation Financial Statement

  • A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

    • (A.) The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss (including derivative financial instruments).

    • (B.) The financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

    • (C.) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • B. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRSs endorsed by FSC requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a high degree of judgment or

  • 15 -

complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

  • (3.) Basis of Consolidation

  • A. The basis for the preparation of consolidated financial statements

    • (A.) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are the entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

    • (B.) All intra-company transactions, balances, and unrealized gains or losses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

    • (C.) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the shareholders of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the shareholders of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

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

    • (E.) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

(3) Statements of Cash Flows

  • 20 -

(4.) Foreign Currencies

A. Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period. Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Except for financial instruments at FVTOCI, financial instruments that are designated as foreign operation net hedge or qualified as cash flow hedge, the retranslation foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. In other cases, the exchange differences are recognized in profit and loss.

  • B. Translation of foreign operation

For the purpose of preparing consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Group and the foreign entities (including subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and branches in other countries that use currency different from the currency of the Group) are translated into the presentation currency - the New Taiwan dollar as follows: assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; profits and losses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

On the disposal of a foreign operation involving the loss of control, joint venture or significant influence over the foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation are reclassified to profit or loss.

In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed to the noncontrolling interests of the subsidiary and is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

  • (5.) Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

  • A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:

    • (A.) Assets that expected to be realized or intended to be sold or used within normal operating cycle;

    • (B.) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

    • (C.) Assets that are expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

    • (D.) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

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

  • B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:

  • (A.) Liabilities expected to be paid off within normal operating cycle;

  • 21 -

  • (B.) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (C.) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period (It is still a current liability even if a long-term refinancing or rearrangement of payment agreement is completed after the balance sheet date and before the financial report is approved,); and

  • (D.) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

  • (6.) Cash and Cash Equivalent

Cash and cash equivalent includes cash on hand, bank deposit and short-term, highly liquid investment that are readily convertible to know amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Time deposits with original maturities within 1 year from the closing date that meet the definition above and are held for purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalent.

  • (7.) Financial Instruments

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

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

A. Financial assets

  • (A.) Measurement category

The Group adopts trade-date accounting to recognize financial assets.

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and equity investments at FVTOCI.

a. Financial assets at FVTPL

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

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss including relevant dividend or interest income. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 12(3).

  • 22 -

b. Equity investment at FVTOCI

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

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

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

  • c. Financial assets at amortized cost

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

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

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

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are measured at carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest revenue is calculated by using the effective interest method. This is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for:

  • (a.) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for those financial assets, the Group applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition.

  • (b.) Financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit-impaired financial assets, for those financial assets, the Group applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.

  • (B.) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable).

The loss allowance for accounts receivable is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For other financial assets, when the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to 12month ECL. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

  • 23 -

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

The Group recognizes an impairment loss for aforementioned financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

  • (C.) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

  • a. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

  • b. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

  • c. The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

The difference between the book value and the price of financial assets at amortized cost will be recognized to profit or loss on disposal of the financial assets. The cumulative gain or loss of the investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments. Instead, they will be transferred to retained earnings.

B. Financial liabilities

  • (A.) Subsequent measurement

Except for the following, financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest rate method after initial recognition.

  • a. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are financial liabilities held for trading or financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Repurchase currently, and the derivative financial instruments unless financial guarantee contract and designated and effective as a hedging instrument, are classified financial liabilities held for trading. The Group designates the financial liabilities upon initial recognition as at FVTPL when the financial liabilities accord to one of the followings:

  • (a.) Mixed (combined) contract; or

  • (b.) Eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition; or

  • (c.) A tool to manage and evaluate its performance on a fair value basis in accordance with a written risk management policy.

  • b. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value upon initial recognition, related transaction costs and any gain or loss arising on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss.

  • c. A financial liabilities that designated as financial liabilities measured at FVTPL, which amount of change in fair value resulting from a change in credit risk, is recognized as other comprehensive income, and that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. The

  • 24 -

amount of the remaining fair value change in the liability is reported in the profit and loss. However, if the aforementioned accounting treatment triggers or exacerbates the improper accounting ratio, the full profits or losses of the liability are reported in the profit or loss.

(B.) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. When derecognition of financial liabilities, the difference in the respective carrying amounts and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, are recognized in profit or loss.

C. Modification of Financial Instruments

When the contractual cash flows of a financial instrument are renegotiated or modified and the renegotiation or modification does not result in the derecognition of that financial instrument, the Group recalculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liabilities using the original effective interest rate and recognises a modification gain or loss in profit or loss. Any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the modified financial instrument and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified financial instrument. If the renegotiation or modification results in that the derecognition of that financial instrument is required, then the financial instrument is derecognized accordingly.

If the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability changes resulting from interest rate benchmark reform and the change is necessary as a direct consequence of interest rate benchmark reform and the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis, the Group applies the practical expedient to account for that change as a change in effective interest rate. If changes are made to a financial asset or financial liability in addition to changes to the basis for determining the contractual cash flows required by interest rate benchmark reform, the Group first applies the practical expedient aforementioned to the changes required by interest rate benchmark reform, and then applies the applicable requirements to any additional changes to which that practical expedient does not apply.

(8.) Inventories

Inventories, under a perpetual system, are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity), excluding borrowing costs. The item-by-item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

(9.) Agriculture (biological assets and agricultural products)

Agricultural activities are the management of the biological transformation and harvesting of biological assets for sale, conversion into agricultural products or conversion into additional biological assets. Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs of disposal. However, biological assets may be measured at cost less accumulated depreciation if the fair value cannot be obtained from the active market, on the alternative option of the fair value clearly unreliable. Agricultural products harvested from biological assets shall be measured at the fair value less costs to sell.

  • 25 -

Gains or losses on initial recognition of biological assets measured at fair value less cost to sell, and gains or losses arising from changes of biological assets in the fair value less cost to sell are included in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.

The agricultural activities of the Group are the cultivation of the parasitic plant Cistanche tubulosa, which is mainly used as raw materials for the finished products of the Group.

(10.) Property, Plant and Equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment (including bearer plants) are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized. For property, plant and equipment under construction, sample produced from testing whether the asset is functioning properly before its intended use are measured at lower of the costs or net realizable value. Proceeds from selling such an item and the cost of the item are recognized in profit or loss.

  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance expense are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • C. Except for land, which is not depreciated, other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, the depreciable amount shall be allocated by the straight-line method over its useful life. Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate under IAS 8,

  • ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Buildings: 4~55 Years

Machinery: 2~18Years

Transportation: 2~10 Years

Office Equipment: 3~15 Years

Other Equipment (including bearer plants): 2~10 Years

  • D. If an item of property, plant and equipment or any significant component is disposed or there is no future economic benefit flow to the Group, the carrying amount is derecognized in profit and loss. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized in profit and loss.

(11.) Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. For a contract that contains a lease component and non-lease component, the Group allocates the total contractual consideration to the lease component on the basis of each single lease component price and the summarized price of non-lease components.

  • 26 -

  • (A.)The Group as lessee

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

Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.

Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms. However, if the ownership of the underlying assets is transferred to the Group by the end of the lease terms or if the costs of right-of-use assets reflect that the Group will exercise a purchase option, the Group depreciates the right-of-use assets from the commencement dates to the end of the useful lives of the underlying assets.

  • (B.)The Group as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

(12.) Intangible Assets

  • A. Intangible assets acquired separately (with finite useful lives)

Intangible assets acquired from government grants are measured at fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis as follow.

  • (A.)Computer Software:1~10 Years

  • (B.)Technology: 10~20 Years

  • (C.)License: The duration of patent right and the duration of the contract whichever is shorter

The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization period and method are reviewed at the end

of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

  • B. Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure

  • (A.)Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred except for the goodwill or intangible assets from business combination.

  • (B.)An internally-generated intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project is recognized if, and only if, all of the following conditions have been demonstrated:

  • 27 -

    • (a.)The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

    • (b.)The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

    • (c.)The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

    • (d.)When the intangible asset could generate probable future economic benefits;

    • (e.)The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

    • (f.)The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

  • (C.) Capitalized intangible assets in development phase are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are not amortizable.

  • (D.) The assessment of intangible assets with indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the useful lives of intangible asset with indefinite life continues to be with indefinite life. If not, the change in useful life from infinite to finite is recorded as change in accounting estimate.

  • C. Disposal of the assets

Any gain or loss arising from the disposal of the assets is determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (13.) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding inventories and deferred tax assets, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

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

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether is an indication that an asset other than goodwill may be impaired. If circumstances indicate that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased, the Group reassesses the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been an increase in the estimate of an asset which in turn increase the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited to that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and recognize impairment loss if the carrying amount less than the recoverable amount.

  • 28 -

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or group of cash-generating units) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is to be recognized. The impairment loss is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Impairment losses related to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

(14.) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation from past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date. The discount rate shall be a pre-tax rate that reflect current market assessment of the time value and the risk specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the carrying amount of a provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time. This increase is recognised as interest expense. Future operating loss is not recognized as provisions.

  • (15.) Employee Benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

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

B. Pensions

  • (A.) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund from the plan or a reduction in future contributions to the plan.

  • (B.) Defined benefit plans

    • a. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current or prior period(s). The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit net obligation is estimated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

    • b. Remeasurements of defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income as incurred and are recorded as retained earnings.

    • c. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • C. Employee’s compensation and directors’ remuneration

Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligations and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the amount accrued and the amount actually distributed is accounted for a change in accounting estimate.

  • 29 -

D. Termination benefits

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the Group recognize any related restructuring costs. The benefits expected to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date should be discounted to the present value.

(16.) Taxation

  • A. Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to the items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.

  • B. The current income tax is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period in the countries where the Group and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. According to Income Tax Act in the R.O.C., income tax on unappropriated earnings is expensed in the year the shareholders’ meeting approved the appropriation of earnings which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

  • C. Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. A deferred tax liability is not recognized on taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. If a temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit, the resulting deferred tax asset or liability is not recognized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

  • D. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences, unused loss carry forward and unused tax credits are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported at the end of the reporting period when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset at the end of the reporting period when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same tax authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • 30 -

  • F. Tax credit resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures, employee training, and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.

(17.) Revenue

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

  • A. Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is mainly from sale of medical product. When a customer obtains control of promised goods, at which time the goods are delivered to the customer's specific location and performance obligation is satisfied.

  • B. Royalties

Royalties are the rights of using intellectual property in authorized duration. The received royalties are recognized in royalty revenue on a time basis over the period of the authorization.

  • C. Technical service

The Group provides research and development technology test services. Revenue from services is recognized as revenue during the period when services are provided to customers. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognized. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

The Group’s estimates of revenue, costs and completion degree are revised with the test situation. Any income and cost increase or decrease caused by the estimated changes will be reflected in profit or loss during the period when the revision situation is known to the management.

(18.) Borrowing costs

The borrowing cost directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualified assets, is capitalized as part of the cost of the assets until substantially all necessary activities to reach the intended use or status for sale of the assets have been completed.

To the extent that an entity borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the entity shall determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings.

Except for the aforementioned, all other borrowing costs are recognized as profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(19.) Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

  • 31 -

Government grants that are deemed as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are receivable.

(20.) Earnings per Share

The Group discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of Sinphar. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders of Sinphar divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Sinphar divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effect of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

  1. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the management is required to make judgments, estimations, and assumptions about the uncertain situation. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Group considers the economic implications of the Covid-19 pandemic, changes in climates and related governmental policies and regulations, the conflicts between Ukraine and Russia as well as related international sanctions, inflation and volatility in interest rate when making its critical accounting estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the critical accounting judgments the Group has made and the major sources of estimation and assumption uncertainty are described as follows:

  • A. Critical accounting judgments

Business model assessment for financial assets

The Group determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment involves judgment and consideration of all relevant evidence, such as how the performance of the assets is evaluated, the risks that affect the performance of the assets, and how the managers of the assets are compensated. The Group constantly assess the adequacy of its business model and monitors financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. When these assets are derecognized prior to their maturity, the Group reviews the reasons for their disposal and whether the reasons are consistent with the objective of the business for which the assets were held. If the objective of the business for an asset is changed, the classification of the asset is prospectively changed from the reclassification date.

  • 32 -

B. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

(A.)Revenue Recognition

Sales revenue, excluding related estimated sales returns, discounts and other similar allowance, is recognized when the control of goods or services is transferred to the customer and the Group satisfies it performance obligation. The Group estimates sales returns and allowance based on historical experience and other known factors. The Group assesses the reasonableness of the estimates periodically.

(B.)Estimated impairment of financial assets

The provision for impairment of accounts receivables, debt investments, and financial guarantee contracts is based on assumptions on default risk and expected loss rates. The Group makes these assumptions and selects inputs for impairment calculation based on the Group’s historical experience and existing market conditions, as well as forward looking information. If the future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Please refer to Note 6(5.)for the assumption and input data.

(C.)Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. The Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. The management considers current market and historical experience on sperific future product demand for evaluation basis, and charge of these factors may significantly affect the results.

(D.)The useful life of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are amortized on a straight-line basis, and the Group periodically evaluates the useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment. If there is a significant change in the relevant estimates, it will be adjusted in the current period of the change and in subsequent years.

(E.)Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (Goodwill excluded)

In the process of evaluating the potential impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, the Group is required to make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows, useful lives, expected future revenue and expenses related to the specific assets groups with consideration of any changes in these estimates based on changes economic conditions or business strategies could result in significant impairment charges or reversal in future years.

(F.)Realisability of deferred tax assets

  • D. Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group is exposed to the following risks:

  • (A.) Investment risk

The pension funds are invested in equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. at the discretion of the Bureau of Labor Funds of Ministry of Labor, or under the mandated management. However, under the Labor Standards Law, the rate of return on plan assets shall not be less than the average interest rate on a two-year time deposit published by the local banks.

(B.)Interest risk

A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the debt investments of the plan assets.

  • (C.)Salary risk

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

  • E. The main actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
31-Dec-22 31-Dec-21
Discount rate 1.30% 0.70%
Expected rate of salaryincrease 1.50% 1.50%
The weighted average duration of the

  • (A.) Assumptions on future mortality experience are set based on the 6th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table (TSO).

  • (B.) The sensitivity analysis:

If significant actuarial assumptions change reasonably and all other assumptions are held constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation may increase(decrease) as below:

Under Sinphar’s Act, the capital surplus generated from excess of the issuance price over the par value of capital stock and donations may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when Sinphar has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as stock dividends or cash dividends. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Law requires that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalized mentioned above should not exceed a certain percentage of Sinphar’s paid in capital each year. Capital surplus should not be used to cover accumulated deficit unless the legal reserve is insufficient.

  • B. To consider about the economic circumstances, development phase, and future business expansion, dividends will be allocated in consideration of future capital expenditure and cash forecast. However, cash dividends are limited to over 20% of total dividends distributed.

  • C. The appropriation for legal capital reserve shall be made until the reserve equals Sinphar’s paid-in capital. The reserve may be used to offset deficit, or be distributed as dividends in cash or stocks for the portion in excess of 25% of the paid-in capital if Sinphar incurs no loss.

If New Taiwan dollar strengthened against the relevant currency and all other variables were held constant, there would be an equal and opposite impact on profit or loss and other equity as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

(c.) Since there were varieties of foreign currencies within the Group, the Group disclosed the summarized foreign exchange gain (loss) information of monetary items. The realized and unrealized foreign exchange loss were NT$ 21,311 thousand and NT$ (6,956) thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Group believes the unrealized exchange gain (loss) of fluctuation risk on foreign currency monetary item is insignificant.

b. Price risk

The Group is exposed to price risk primarily related to its investment in instruments classified as financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVTOCI.

The Group primarily invested in the foreign publicly traded and unlisted stocks and the domestic beneficiary certificates. The instruments prices are affected by the uncertainties of the investment targets’ future value.

Assuming a hypothetical increase/decrease of 1% in prices of the equity instruments at the end of the reporting period, the other comprehensive income for the years ended December

  • 58 -

31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased/decreased by NT$ 247 thousand and NT$ 204 thousand, respectively, as they were classified as financial assets at FVTOCI. Assuming a hypothetical increase/decrease of 1% in prices of the domestic beneficiary certificates, the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased/decreased by NT$ 67 thousand, respectively, as they were classified as financial assets at FVTPL.

c. Interest rate risk

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk were as follows:

interest rate risk were as follows:
Carrying Amount
Item 31-Dec-22 31-Dec-21

Financial assets $ 405,391 $ 425,005
Financial liabilities ( 317) ( 2,213)
Net $ 405,074 $ 422,792
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets $ 826,370 $ 808,363
Financial liabilities ( 1,912,959) ( 2,132,024)
Net $ 1,086,589 ($ 1,323,661)
  • (a.) Sensitivity analysis: Fair value interest rate risk

The Group did not designate any fixed interest rate financial instruments as fair value through profit or loss and derivatives instruments (interest rate swaps) to hedge its exposures to changes in fair values. As such, changes in interest rate would not affect the net income and the other comprehensive income at the end of the reporting period.

(b.) Sensitivity analysis: Cash flow interest rate risk

The Group’s financial instruments at floating interest rate were assets (liabilities) at floating interest rate. Therefore, changes in interest rate would affect the future cash flows. Assuming a hypothetical increase/decrease 1% in interest rates, the net income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 would increase/decrease by NT$ 10,866 thousand and NT$ 13,237 thousand, respectively.

(B) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial losses to the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from operating activities, primarily from account receivables, and from investing activities, primarily from bank deposits, fixed-income investments and other financial instruments. The Group managed the credit risk separately for business related and financial related risk.

b. Financial credit risk:

The financial department of the Group regularly monitors and reviews the credit risk of bank deposit and other financial instruments. The Group mitigates its exposure by selecting counterparties (banks, financial institutions, company organizations and government authorities) with well credit and investment-grade credit ratings. The credit risk is insignificant.

  • (a.) Concentration of credit risk

As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, accounts receivable from the top 10 customers represent 24.87%, and 31.01% of total accounts receivables of the Group, respectively. The Group believes the concentration risk is insignificant for the remaining accounts receivable.

  • (b.) Expected credit impairment losses measurement

  • ◎Accounts receivable: Simplified approach, please refer to Note 6(4.) and (5).

  • ◎Judgment on whether credit risk increasing significantly: None

(C) Liquidity risk

  • (3.) Fair value information

  • A. For the fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value, please refer to the Note 12 (3)B.

Fair value hierarchy definition

Level 1

Fair value measurements of the Level 1 are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments. An active market is a market in which transactions for identical instrument take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide public pricing information on an ongoing basis. The foreign publicly traded stocks and the domestic beneficiary certificates invested by the Group were classified as this hierarchy.

Level 2

Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that observable for the instrument, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3

Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for instrument that are not based on observable market data. The Group invested in equity investments without active market included within level 3.

  • B. Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

The Group considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value, such as cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivables, other financial assets, refundable deposits, notes and accounts payable, approximate their fair values.

  • C. Fair value hierarchy information

  • D. Valuation techniques and assumptions used in fair value measurement

  • (A.) If there is an active market for the financial instruments, the fair value of the financial instruments is measured by using the quoted market prices. The quoted market prices announced by the main market place and the prices of government bonds classified as popular securities announced by Taipei Exchange (TPEx) are deemed as fair value foundation of publicly traded equity instruments and debt instruments with an active market.

If there are timely and frequent quoted prices from the exchange market, the broker, the dealer, industry association, price service organization, or the administrative, and the prices represent actual, frequent, and fair trades, the financial instruments are deemed as with an active market. Otherwise, the market is deemed as not active. In general, huge price gap, price gap apparently expanding, and small trading volume were indicators of a not active market.

The financial instruments held by the Group with active market quoted prices as their fair value are listed below by characteristics:

  • a. Publicly traded stock: Closing price

  • b. Beneficiary certificates: Net value

  • (B.) Except for the aforementioned financial instruments with active market, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by valuation technique or quotation of counterparties. The fair value from valuation technique could refer to the fair value of other financial instruments with similar substantial conditions and characteristics, discounted cash flow method and other valuation technique including model with observable market information on balance sheet date (e.g. yield curve of TPEx, quoted interest rate of Reuters commercial Note).

The fair values of non-listed equity investments were Level 3 fair value assets, and determined using the market approach by reference the peer companies valuation, third party quotation, net value and operation status. The significant unobservable input used was discount for lack of marketability. A movement in discount for the lack of marketability would not result in significant changes in the fair values.

  • (C.) The Group considered the credit risk evaluation adjustment for financial instruments and nonfinancial instruments to reflect the credit risk of the counterparty and the credit quality of the Group.

  • 63 -

  • (D.) Valuation techniques used in Level 3 fair value Measurement:

The evaluation procedure of the financial instruments belong to Level 3 is verified by the financial department of the Group through verifying the independent source inputs to make sure the evaluation results closing to the market status. To make sure the reasonability of the evaluation results, the financial department verify the independence and reliability of source data, test and renew the input data, model and other necessary inputs.

  • (E.) There were no transfers between different fair value hierarchy for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
