In the future, the synergies of operation and management are expected to increase the overall profit. For the C2 development in Nangang Software Park, the construction progress has achieved 67.12% (as of December 2020). The development operation is in progress as scheduled. And the construction permit for C4 development project has been received and the construction was started.

The international geopolitics, the U.S-Sino trade dispute, and pandemic are slowing down, but they impact the macro economy greatly. The Company will keep on monitoring the development of international conditions, for better responses.
In the regard of fertilizer and chemical engineering business, the strategy to develop niche product will still be applied. Other than expanding business scope to increase revenue, the synergies of operation and management are expected to increase the overall profit.
For the real estate development business, we will continue to be very selective, and establish the sustainable properties. The development projects of Nangang Software Park and Hsinchu Science and Commerce Park are advanced as planned, to ensure the operational guideline of increasing profit weight of sustainable properties.

Independent Auditors ’ Report
To the Board of Directors of TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 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 as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits 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 for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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. The key audit matters that, in our professional judgment, should be communicated are as follows:
- Impairment assessment of intangible assets
For the accounting policy of impairment assessment of intangible assets, please refer to note 4 (m) “Intangible assets” of the consolidated financial statements. For the accounting estimate and uncertainty assumption of impairment assessment of intangible assets, please refer to note 5 of the consolidated financial statements. For the impairment assessment of intangible assets, please refer to 6(l) of the consolidated financial statements.
4-1
Key audit matters:
As described in Note 6(l) of the consolidated financial statements, the Group acquired control over Taiwan Yes Deep Ocean Water Co., Ltd. (“ Taiwan Yes” ), which was accounted for as acquisition using the equity method (including the goodwill and trademark with indefinite useful lives). In accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives should be tested for impairment annually; and based on the estimated future cash flows of Taiwan Yes (the cash-generating unit), the recoverable amount was evaluated in order to determine whether there is any impairment of the aforementioned investment accounted for by using the equity method (including the goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives). Since the estimated future cash flows requires management’s forecasting of the industry overview and the future operating performance of Taiwan Yes, the recoverable amount will be affected and an impairment loss will be incurred should there be any change in the situation. Therefore, the impairment assessment of equity-method investments has been identified as a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included confirming whether the management has properly assessed the recoverability of goodwill based on the forecasted cash flows within the following 5 years, wherein the assessment has been reviewed by the competent authority; and verifying whether the management has disclosed the impairment of goodwill in the financial statements on a timely manner after identifying such circumstance. In addition, we also assessed the adequacy of the forecasting methods and the discount rate used ’ by the management, and compared the discount rate with external information; verified the management s assumptions with external relevant information, and evaluated the major assumptions (including the forecast revenue growth rate, discount rate and forecast margin).
Other Matter
We did not audit the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 of the certain investees in equity method. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the corporation's financial statements for these investees, is based solely on the report of other auditors. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the investments in the aforementioned investees are 12.05% (NT$9,202,183 thousand) and 12.30% (NT$9,304,896 thousand) of consolidated total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the investment income on the above said investees are 20.02% (NT$593,696 thousand) and 30.49% (NT$751,432 thousand) of the Company's income before income tax.
TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. has additionally prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, on which we have issued an unqualified 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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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.
4-2
Those charged with governance 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 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.
-

Independent Auditors ’ Report
To the Board of Directors of TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD.(“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 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 as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters that, in our professional judgment, should be communicated are as follows:
- Impairment assessment of investments in equity method (including goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life)
Please refer to notes 4(n), 5 and 6(h) for the “recognition of impairment assessment of investments ” “ accounted for by the equity method , assumptions used and uncertainties considered in determining investments accounted for by the equity method, investments for impairment loss and obsolescence” and “balances of impairment loss and obsolescence”, respectively.
3-1
Key audit matters:
As described in Note 6(h) of the accompanying financial statements, the Company acquired control over Taiwan Yes Deep Ocean Water Co., Ltd. (“ Taiwan Yes” ), which was accounted for as acquisition using the equity method (including the goodwill and trademark with indefinite useful lives). In accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives should be tested for impairment annually; and based on the estimated future cash flows of Taiwan Yes (the cash-generating unit), the recoverable amount was evaluated in order to determine whether there is any impairment of the aforementioned investment accounted for by using the equity method (including the goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives). Since the estimated future cash flows requires management’s forecasting of the industry overview and the future operating performance of Taiwan Yes, the recoverable amount will be affected and an impairment loss will be incurred should there be any change in the situation. Therefore, the impairment assessment of equity method investments has been identified as a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included confirming whether the management have properly assessed the recoverability of goodwill based on the forecasted cash flows within the following 5 years, wherein the assessment have been reviewed by the competent authority; and verifying whether the management has disclosed the impairment of goodwill in the financial statements on a timely manner after identifying such circumstance. In addition, we also assessed the adequacy of the forecasting methods and the discount rate used by the management, and compared the discount rate with external information; verified the management’s assumptions with external relevant information, and evaluated the major assumptions (including the forecast revenue growth rate, discount rate and forecast margin).
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, of certain investees in equity method. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the Corporation’s financial statements for these investees, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the investments in the aforementioned investees are 12.15% and 12.33% ($9,202,183 thousand and $9,304,896 thousand), of the Corporation’s total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the investment income on the above said investees are 20.03% and 30.51% ($593,696 thousand and $751,432 thousand) of the Corporation’s income before income tax.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors ’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 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 Company’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 Company’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 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit.
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 financial statements of the current period 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 Kuo-Yang Tseng and Heng-Shen Lin.
