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 sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 material 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, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 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 Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of 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 Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirement. 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 of the current period. 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:

1. Inventory Valuation

For details of accounting policies related to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 4(g) Inventory of the financial statements. For details of uncertainties in accounting estimates and assumptions related to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 5(b) of the financial statements. For descriptions on inventory valuation, please refer to Note 6(f) of the financial statements:

KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

3-1

Description of key audit matter:

The inventory amount of the Company is presented at the lower of costs and net realizable amount. As The price of material is subject to market volatility, the Company complies with the policy of Ministry of Agriculature in order to stabilize the domestic fertilizer price, which may, in turn, generate risks where the inventory costs are higher than the net realizable value. Therefore, inventory valuation is a matter that requires great attention for our audits on the financial statements.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our audit procedures for the above key audit matters included assessing the Company’s inventory allowance amount based on the nature of the inventories; performing audit to check the correctness of the inventory age report; reviewing the Company’s past inventory allowances and assessing whether the estimation methods and assumptions are appropriate; observe the inventory count and check the inventory status to assess whether the inventory is expired or damaged; sampling the latest sales prices of inventory and assessing the reasonableness of net realizable value; assessing whether disclosure items for inventory allowances are appropriate.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023 and 2022, the investments in the aforementioned investees are 11.46% (NT$9,310,170 thousand) and 11.71% (NT$9,420,043 thousand), of the Corporation’s total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the investment income on the above said investees are 40.03% (NT$1,731,262 thousand) and 107.20% (NT$3,491,558 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 with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, 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 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 (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

3-2

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 Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

1. 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.

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 Company’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 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

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.

3-3

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.

• (b) Basis of preparation

• (i) Basis of measurement

The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the balance sheets:

• 1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value ；

• 2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

• (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(Continued)

10

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

(c) Foreign currency

• (i) Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Company entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

• 1) an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;

• 2) a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or

• 3) qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

• (ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the Company’ s functional currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to noncontrolling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

• (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current when:

• (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

• (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

(iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

• (iv) The asset is cash and cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when:

• (i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

• (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• (iii) If is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

• (iv) It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are shortterm, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting shortterm cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

(f) Financial instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(Continued)

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

(i) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

• 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

• ‧it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

• ‧its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

• 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI )

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

• ‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

• ‧its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’ s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

(Continued)

13

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets and accounts receivable (except for those presented as accounts receivable but measured at FVTPL). On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

• 4) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and trade receivables, other receivable, leases receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI and contract assets.

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

• ‧ debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

• ‧ other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forwardlooking information.

The Company considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘ investment grade which is considered to be BBB- or higher per Standard & Poor’s, Baa3 or higher per Moody’s or twA or higher per Taiwan Ratings’.

(Continued)

14

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘ credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

‧significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

• ‧a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 180 days past due;

• ‧the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

• ‧it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or

• ‧the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charge to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

(Continued)

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

5) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

• (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

2) Equity instrument

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

3) Treasury shares

When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be written down).

4) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

(Continued)

16

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

5) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

7) Financial guarantee contract

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL and do not arise from a transfer of an asset, are measured subsequently at the higher of: (a) the amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9; and (b) the amount recognized initially less, where appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policies set out below.

(g) Inventories

－ Inventories included Raw materials, finished goods, merchandise, and construction-in-progress land and projects. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost, of completion and selling expenses.

(Continued)

17

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

(h) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition, less any accumulated impairment losses.

The financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases.

When changes in an associate’s equity are not recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Company recognizes the Company’ s share of change in equity of the associate in capital reserves in proportion to its ownership.

Gains and loses resulting from the transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Company’s interests in the associate.

When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in an associate, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates.

(i) Subsidiaries

The subsidiaries in which the Company holds controlling interest are accounted for under equity method in the nonconsolidated financial statements. Under equity method, the net income, other comprehensive income and equity in the nonconsolidated financial statement are the same as those attributable to the owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements.

The changes in ownership of the subsidiaries that did not resule in the Company’s loss of control.are recognized as equity transaction.

(j) Investment property

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at initial acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The methods for depreciating and determining the useful life and residual value of investment property are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.

Rental income from investment property is recognized as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

(Continued)

18

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

• (k) Property, plant and equipment

• (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of certain items of property, plant and equipment on January 1, 2012, the Company’ s date of transition to the Standards, was determined with reference to its fair value at that date.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

• (ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

• (iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the depreciable amount of an asset using the straight-line basis over its useful life. The depreciable amount of an asset is determined based on the cost less its residual value.

Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings Machine Instrument equipment Miscellaneous equipment Item Buildings: Leasehold improvements and others Buildings, warehouses, storage sheds	3～60years 3～40years 3～15years 3～15years Useful lives Item Useful lives Machine: 3～15 years Production equipment 3～15 years 16～60 years Storage tanks, power transmission systems, etc. 16～40 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date, and adjusted if appropriate.

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

(iv) Reclassification as investment property

A property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from owner-occupied to investment property.

(l) Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

• (i) As a lessee

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

• － fixed payments including in-substance fixed payments;

• － variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

• － amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

• －

• payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

• －

• there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

• － there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

• － there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or

(Continued)

20

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

• －

• －

• there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option; or

• there is any lease modifications

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for shortterm leases of miscellaneous equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(ii) As a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

For operating leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments received as lease revenue during the lease period on a straight-line basis.

(m) Intangible assets

• (i) Recognition and measurement

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets (including patent and computer software) that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

• (iii) Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

Computer software cost	5	years
Patent	7~8	years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(n) Impairment of non financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets, deferred tax assets and investment properties and biological assets, measured at fair value, less costs) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

(Continued)

22

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(o) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and an outflow of economic benefits is possibly required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

(p) Revenue Recognition

• (i) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company’ s main types of revenue are explained below.

1) Sale of goods

The Company manufactures and sells fertilizer products to market. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’ s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

(Continued)

23

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

• 2) Land development and sale of real estate

The Company develops and sells residential properties and usually sales properties in advance during construction or before construction begins. Revenue is recognized when control over the properties has been transferred to the customer. The properties have generally no alternative use for the Company due to contractual restrictions. However, an enforceable right to payment does not arise until legal title of a property has passed to the customer. Therefore, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the legal title has passed to the customer.

The revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract. For sale of readily available house, in most cases, the consideration is due when legal title of a property has been transferred. While deferred payment terms may be agreed in rare circumstances, the deferral never exceeds twelve months. The transaction price is therefore not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component. For preselling properties, the consideration is usually received by installment during the period from contract inception until the transfer of properties to the customer. If the contract includes a significant financing component, the transaction price will be adjusted for the effects of the time value of money during the period, using the specific borrowing rate of the construction project. Receipt of a prepayment from a customer is recognized as contract liability. Interest expense and contract liability are recognized when adjusting the effects of the time value of money. Accumulated amount of contract liability is recognized as revenue when control over the property has been transferred to the customer.

• 3) The Company's operating leasing business is classified into operating leases based on lease conditions and the possibility of cash receivables, and recognizes relevant operating lease income.

• 4) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(q) Employee benefits

• (i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

(Continued)

24

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

(iii) Other long-term employee benefits

The Company’ s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

(iv) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Company recognizes costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.

(v) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

• (r) Income Taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

• (i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction (i) affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) and (ii) does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences;

• (ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

(iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

• (i) the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off currenttax assets against current tax liabilities; and

• (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

• 1) the same taxable entity; or

• 2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

(s) Earnings per share

Disclosures are made of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The basic earnings per share is calculated based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, such as remuneration of employees and employee stock options.

(t) Operating segments

Please refer to the consolidated financial statements of TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 for operating segments information.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:

The preparation of the financial statements has made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows. Those assumptions and estimation have been updated to reflect the impact of COVID-19 pandemic:

(a) Impairment assumptions of carrying amounts of subsidiaries.

The assessment of impairment of subsidiaries requires the Company to allocate the subsidiaries' CGUs to the recoverable amount. To calculate the recoverable amount of relevant CGUs, the management should use the appropriate discount rate for calculating the present value to estimate the future cash flow of CGUs. If the actual cash flow less than expectation, the Company would have significant impairment loss.

(b) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories to comply with the policy of Ministry of Agriculture which is in order to stabilize the domestic fertilizer price and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. Please refer to note 6(f) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

(Continued)

27

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

Regarding assumptions and estimation uncertainties, valuation has a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year as following:

The Company’s accounting policies include measuring financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The Company’ s financial instrument valuation group conducts independent verification on fair value by using data sources that are independent, reliable, and representative of exercise prices. This financial instrument valuation group also periodically adjusts valuation models, conducts back testing, renews input data for valuation models, and makes all other necessary fair value adjustments to assure the rationality of fair value.

The Company strives uses the market observable inputs when measuring its assets and liabilities.

The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

• (a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.

• (b) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie as prices) or indirectly (ie derived from prices).

• (c) Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.

For any transfer within the fair value hierarchy, the impact of the transfer is recognized on the reporting date. Please refer to Note 6(s), Financial instruments for assumptions used in measuring fair value.

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’ s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 10%of appreciation of each major foreign currency against the Company’s functional currency as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 would have increased or decreased the net income after tax by $2,339 and $28,099 thousand, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

As the Company deals in diverse foreign currencies, gains or losses on foreign exchange were summarized as a single amount. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the foreign exchange losses, including both realized and unrealized, amounted to 74,300 and 79,622 thousand, respectively.

(iv) Interest rate analysis

The interest risk exposure from financial assets and liabilities has been disclosed in the note of liquidity risk management.

The sensitivity analysis below is based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period. For floating-rate liabilities, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of liabilities outstanding on the reporting date is circulated throughout the year.

If interest rates had been 1 basis point higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Corporation’s net income after tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would decrease/increase by $0 due to the Company’ s cash and cash equivalents balances which exceeds its loan amount.

(v) Other price risk

If the stock price changes at the reporting date, the changes in other comprehensive income of the Company are estimated as follows: (The analysis was made on the same basis for both periods, assuming that all other variables remain constant and any impact to forecasted sales and purchases was ignored):

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

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

a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

If the quoted prices in active markets are available, the market price is established as the fair value. However, if quoted prices in active markets are not available, the estimated valuation or prices used by competitors are adopted.

• b) Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

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

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

• 3) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value:

• a) Non-derivative financial instruments

When a financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market, the quoted prices in an active market will be the fair value. The market prices from the main exchanges and government bond exchanges are the basis of the fair value of OTC equity instruments and debt instruments which have a quoted market price in an active market.

A financial instrument is regarded as being quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s-length basis. Quoted market prices may not be indicative of the fair value of an instrument if the activity in the market is infrequent, the market is not well-established, only small volumes are traded, or bid-ask spreads are very wide.

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

If the financial instruments held by the Company do not belong to active markets, the category and nature of the fair value are as follows:

• Equity investments without an active market: The fair value is assessed by market comparison approach. The main assumption is measured from the retained earnings multiplier as the basis.

• 4) Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

There were no transfers in either direction in 2023 and 2022.

• 5) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values

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

The Company’s main financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value are “fair value through other comprehensive income (available-for-sale financial assets) – equity investments”.

The Company most fair value is categorized to Level 3 with single significant unobservable input. The equity investments without an active market has duplicate unobservable inputs. The unobservable inputs of the equity investments without an active market are independent, so there is no correlation to others.

Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:

Item Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss- equity investments without an active market	Valuation technique Comparable transaction method	Significant unobservable inputs Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement ‧The multiplier of price-to-sales ratio (As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were 2.70~5.00 and 1.53~4.86) ‧The multiplier of price-to-book ratio (As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were 1.58 and 1.52) ‧The multiplier of price-to-earning ratio (As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were 20.84 and 20.58) ‧Market illiquidity discount (As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were both 10%~33% ) The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if: ‧the multiplier were higher (lower) ‧the market illiquidity discount were lower (higher).

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

The Company’ s measurement on the fair value of financial instruments is deemed reasonable despite different valuation models or assumptions may lead to different results.

For fair value measurements in Level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions would have the following effects on profit or loss and other comprehensive income:

December 31, 2023 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Equity investments without an active market December 31, 2022 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Equity investments without an active market	Inputs Market illiquidity discount Market illiquidity discount	Fluctuation in inputs ±1% ±1%	Profit	or loss Unfavour -able - -	Other comprehensive income Favour- able Unfavour -able 31,675 (31,667) 29,004 (28,997)
			Favour- able - -

The favorable and unfavorable effects represent the changes in fair value, and fair value is based on a variety of unobservable inputs calculated using a valuation technique. The analysis above only reflects the effects of changes in a single input, and it does not include the interrelationships with another input.

• (t) Financial risk management

• (i) Overview

The Company has exposures to the following risks from its financial instruments:

• 1) Credit risk

• 2) Liquidity risk

• 3) Market risk

The following discusses the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the above mentioned risks.

(Continued)

59

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

(ii) Risk management framework

The Company’ s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

• (iii) Credit risk

Credit risk means the potential loss of the Company if the counterparty involved in that transaction defaults. The primary potential credit risk is from financial instruments like accounts receivable and equity securities.

1) Accounts receivables and other receivables

The Company’ s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk, particularly in the current deteriorating economic circumstances.

The Company has established a credit granting policy. According to the policy, the Company must analyze its credit rating individually for each new customer before granting standard payment and shipping conditions and terms.

The Company establishes an impairment allowance that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables. The two components of this impairment allowance are specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposure and collective loss component which the loss was incurred but not identified. The collective component is based on historical payment experience of similar financial assets.

2) Investment

The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the Company’s finance department. As the Company deals with the banks and other external parties with good credit standing and financial institutions, corporate organization and government agencies which are graded above investment level, management believes that the Company does not have compliance issues and no significant credit risk.

3) Guarantees

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the endorsement guarantee provided by the Company to individual entities of joint ventures, please refer to Note 7.

(Continued)

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. Notes to Financial Statements

(iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is a risk that the Company is unable to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’ s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

(v) Market risk

Market risk is a risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’ s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

1) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency. The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in USD, EUR, JPY, and RMB.

The exchange gains or losses of trade receivables in foreign currencies resulting from the changes in exchange rates are offset against the exchange losses or gains of short-term borrowings in foreign currencies; thus, the exposure to foreign currency risk is insignificant.

The interest is denominated in the same currency as borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Company.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short term imbalances.

The investments of other subsidiaries of the Company are not for hedging.

• 2) Interest rate risk

The Company’ s interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term loans bearing floating interest rates. Future cash flow will be affected by a change in market interest rate.

3) Other market risk

The Company does not enter into any commodity contracts other than to meet its expected usage and sales requirements; such contracts are not settled on a net basis.

(u) Capital management

The Company’s objectives in managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to the shareholders, return capital to shareholders, and issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.

The Company manages capital by the debt to equity ratio. Such ratio is calculated as net liabilities divided by total capital. Net liabilities represent the total amount of liabilities on the balance sheet minus cash and cash equivalents. The total amount of capital represents all the equity components (share capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity) plus net liabilities.

The Company’s debt to equity ratio at the balance sheet date were as follows:

Total liabilities Less: cash and cash equivalents Net debt Total capital Adjusted capital Debt to equity ratio	December 31, 2023 $ 26,490,988 (3,986,928) 22,504,060 54,739,702 $ 77,243,762 % 29.13	December 31, 2022 27,360,038 (2,303,245) 25,056,793 53,060,996 78,117,789 % 32.08

(vii) Others

• 1) TR Electronic Chemical Co., Ltd. (TR), a jointly controlled entity of the Corporation, had obtained a financing of US$10,000 thousand from a bank, and the Corporation and Jing Chin International Limited Corporation, a shareholder of TR, guaranteed the repayment of this financing. When TR failed to make a repayment, the bank then requested the guarantors to repay the loan partially. Because the Corporation could only provide TR-in compliance with the “Regulations Governing the Granting of Loans and Endorsements and Guarantees by Public Companies” - with a limited amount of endorsement, the Corporation’ s board approved the repayment of TR’ s loan, as following.

Due Date March 27, 2014 April 26, 2015 March 27, 2016	Date of Repayment Amount in USD Amount in NTD June 27, 2014 $ 4,570 144,641 April 24, 2015 3,300 102,610 March 31, 2016 2,147 70,026

• (b) Partial commercial building and parking lot’s area of “C2 Tourist Hotel Project” and “Commercial Building Project” in the Nangang Economic and Trade Park have unsolved lease disputes with Dung Jeng Investment Counsel Co., Ltd. (“Dung Jeng”). Therefore, the above properties were ordered to be enforced and restricted in use by the District Court, including 6 floors, 50 parking lots and 799 parking lots in the basement to be leased out based on the order handed by the district court. A lawyer was appointed to carry out the legal proceedings of the re-protest and litigation. Regarding the litigation of this case, including 6 floors and 50 parking lots, the first instance ruled that the Company should deliver 50 parking lots, and dismissed the rest of the litigation of Dung Jeng. The Company will continue to appeal to the court of the second instance. The High Court, upon further review, revoked the interim injunction that allowed the Company to provide collateral. The Company has already completed the deposit, totaling $265 million (classified as other non-current financial assets). Following the revocation of the interim injunction by the local court, the restricted area is now available for external leasing. In the first instance ruling, it was determined that the Company shall deliver the proceeds of another 799 parking lots in the basement to Dung Jeng. On February 6, 2024, the Taiwan High Court rejected the Company’s appeal, resulting in the Company to incur an estimated compensation loss of $100 million in 2023. Hence, the Company will consider filing an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Taipei District Court ruled that the Group is allowed to revoke the interim injunction after providing collateral. The Company has completed the deposit, totaling $66 million (classified as other non-current financial assets). Furthermore, the interim injunction has been revoked by the local court. However, Dung Jeng filed an appeal, and the original ruling made by the Taiwan High Court had been remanded to the Taipei District Court for reconsideration. Thereafter, the Taipei District Court ruled that the Company may lift the provisional seizure by providing a guarantee of approximately NT$26 million. As of the date of the annual report, the relevant legal procedures are still ongoing.

• (c) Caesar Park Hotel Co., Ltd. (Caesar Park Hotel) won the bid on the case of the “C2 Tourist Hotel Project” in 2012. Thereafter, it entered into a front-end agreement (FEA) with the Company. However, as the Group’s internal development strategy has changed, and an adjustment was made to the performance bond, in which the two parties failed to reach an agreement, resulting in Caesar Park Hotel to send a letter to the Company in June 2023 to terminate their contract, and thereafter, filed a lawsuit against the Company to the Taipei District Court, demanding for a damage compensation. The Company has appointed lawyers to handle the case, which was still in progress as of the reporting date. The Company assessed that currently there is no significant impact on its finances or operations.
