Taiwan Navigation Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and Independent Auditors’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Taiwan Navigation Co., Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Taiwan Navigation Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standard No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As disclosed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$119,039 thousand and NT$92,980 thousand, respectively; for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, net comprehensive income recognized from these equity-method investments was NT$15,293 thousand and NT$5,543 thousand and NT$19,735 thousand and NT$11,974 thousand, respectively, which was calculated on the basis of financial statements that have not been reviewed.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our reviews, except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of the aforementioned investees and the relevant information disclosed been reviewed, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 and its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Ya-Ling Wong and Chih-Ming Shao.

Deloitte & Touche Taipei, Taiwan Republic of China November 9, 2018

The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the “Group”, are presented in New Taiwan dollars, the functional currency of the Corporation.

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Corporation’s board of directors on November 9, 2018.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

  • a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC), and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)

Except for the following, whenever applied, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and related amendments

IFRS 9 supersedes IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, with consequential amendments to IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” and other standards. IFRS 9 sets out the requirements for the classification, measurement, and impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. Refer to Note 4 for information relating to the relevant accounting policies.

  • 9 -

The requirements for the classification, measurement, and impairment of financial assets have been applied retrospectively starting from January 1, 2018, and the requirements for hedge accounting have been applied prospectively. IFRS 9 is not applicable to items that have already been derecognized as of December 31, 2017.

Classification, measurement, and impairment of financial assets

On the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed as of January 1, 2018, the Group has performed an assessment of the classification of recognized financial assets and has elected not to restate prior reporting periods.

The following table shows the original measurement categories and carrying amounts under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories and carrying amounts under IFRS 9 for each class of the Group’s financial assets as of January 1, 2018.

  • a) Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including related parties), time deposits with original maturities of more than 3 months and other financial assets that were previously classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 were classified as at amortized cost with an assessment of expected credit losses under IFRS 9, because the contractual cash flows were solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and these investments were held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows.

  • b) The Group elected to designate all its investments in equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9, because these investments are not held for trading. As a result, the related other equity - unrealized loss on available-for-sale financial assets of $(111,449) thousand was reclassified to other equity - unrealized loss on financial assets at FVTOCI.

Investments in unlisted shares previously measured at cost under IAS 39 have been designated as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9 and were remeasured at fair value. Consequently, an increase of $59,926 thousand was recognized in both financial assets at FVTOCI and other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI on January 1, 2018.

  • 10 -

  • c) Mutual funds previously classified as held for trading under IAS 39 were classified mandatorily as at FVTPL under IFRS 9, because the contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and they are not equity instruments.

  • d) Mandatory convertible bond investments were designated as at FVTPL under IAS 39 because they were hybrid instruments. They have been classified as mandatorily measured at FVTPL in their entirety under IFRS 9 since they contain host contracts that are assets within the scope of IFRS 9.

  • 2) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and related amendments

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers and supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts”, and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Refer to Note 4 for related accounting policies.

The Group evaluated the retrospective application of IFRS 15 on assets, liabilities, and equity as of January 1, 2018 and the comprehensive income and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The application of IFRS 15 has no material impact on the Group. The following table shows the impact on the classification of assets and liabilities.

IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.

Definition of a lease

Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will elect to apply the guidance of IFRS 16, in determining whether contracts are, or contain, a lease, only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019. Contracts identified as containing a lease IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will not be reassessed and will be accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.

The Group as lessee

Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those low-value and short-term leases whose payments will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group will present the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities will be classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion will be classified within financing activities. Currently, payments under operating lease contracts are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Leased assets and finance lease payables are recognized for contracts classified as finance leases.

The Group anticipates applying IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Comparative information will not be restated.

Lease liabilities will be recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases currently classified as operating leases under IAS 17. Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities. The Group will apply IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.

The Group expects to apply the following practical expedients:

  • a) The Group will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.

  • b) The Group will account for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.

  • c) The Group will exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.

  • 12 -

  • d) The Group will use hindsight, such as in determining lease terms, to measure lease liabilities.

The Group as lessor

The Group will not make any adjustments to leases in which it is a lessor and will account for those leases with the application of IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

  • c. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

Effective Date New IFRSs Announced by IASB (Note 1) Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” January 1, 2020 (Note 2) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets To be determined by IASB between An Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture” IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” January 1, 2021 Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material” January 1, 2020 (Note 3)

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

  • Note 2: The Group shall apply these amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period.

  • Note 3: The Group shall apply these amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosed information required in a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements.

  • b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

  • 13 -

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

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • 2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs on an asset or liability.

  • c. Basis of consolidation

  • 1) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Corporation and the entities controlled by the Corporation (i.e. its subsidiaries).

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Corporation.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income, and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

  • 2) Subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements

The Group holds 100% of the interest of the subsidiaries which are included in the consolidated financial statements. The subsidiaries are Tai Shing and Shin Wang, which are mainly engaged in marine freight transportation services.

  • d. Other significant accounting policies

Except for the following the accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. For the summary of other significant accounting policies, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

  • 1) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

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

  • a) Financial assets

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

  • 14 -

  • i. Measurement categories

2018

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

  • i) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividends or interest earned on such a financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 21.

ii) Financial assets at amortized cost

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

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

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

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including related parties) at amortized cost and other financial assets, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

iii) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

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

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

  • 15 -

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

2017

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.

  • i) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such financial assets are either held for trading or designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on their remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividends or interest earned on such a financial assets. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 21.

ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at FVTPL.

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amounts of available-for-sale monetary financial assets (relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments) are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when such investments are disposed of or are determined to be impaired.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

Available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and presented as a separate line item as financial assets measured at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets can be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount and fair value of such financial assets is recognized in other comprehensive income. Any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss.

iii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are measured using the effective interest method at amortized cost less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

  • 16 -

ii. Impairment of financial assets

2018

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost.

The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (i.e. ECLs) for accounts receivable. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.

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

The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of such a financial asset.

2017

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of such financial assets, that the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

Financial assets at amortized cost, such as accounts receivable, are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience with collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables.

For a financial asset at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between such an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

For a financial asset at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment (at the date on which the impairment is reversed) does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

  • 17 -

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty, breach of contract, it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization, or the disappearance of an active market for those financial assets because of financial difficulties.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss is not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. In respect of available-for-sale debt securities, impairment loss is subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of such an investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

For a financial asset measured at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between such an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of a financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets, with the exception of accounts receivable, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When accounts receivable are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss except for uncollectible accounts receivable that are written off against the allowance account.

iii Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

Before 2017, on derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. Starting from 2018, on derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

b) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 18 -

2) Revenue recognition

2018

The Group identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

For contracts where the period between the date on which the Group transfers a promised good or service to a customer and the date on which the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less, the Group does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.

Services for ship management, ship chartering and freight transport

As the Group provides services for ship management, ship chartering and freight transport, customers simultaneously obtain and consume the benefit provided by the Group’s performance, and the relevant revenue is recognized when the services are provided. The revenue from ship management and ship chattering services are recognized with reference to the number of days incurred, and the revenue from freight transport services is recognized with reference to the stage of completion of the services provided.

2017

The Group identifies contracts with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligation are satisfied.

  • a) Service income

Service income is recognized when services are provided.

The revenue from ship management and ship chattering services is recognized with reference to the stage of completion of the relevant contract.

  • b) Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when a shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established and provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and that the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis with reference to the principal outstanding and at the applicable effective interest rate.

  • 3) Employee benefits

Pension costs for an interim period are calculated on a year-to-date basis using the respective actuarially determined annual pension cost discount rate which is determined at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

  • 19 -

4) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period’s pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual earnings. The effect of a change in tax rate resulting from a change in the tax law is recognized consistently with the accounting for the transaction itself which gives rise to the tax consequence, and this is recognized in profit or loss in full in the period in which the change in tax rate occurs.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

8. FINANCIAL ASSES AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - 2018

The Group invested in the ordinary shares of Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation and Chunghwa Investment Co., Ltd. and expected to earn profit through dividend income. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes. These investments in equity instruments were classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39. Refer to Notes 3 and 9 for information relating to their reclassification and comparative information for 2017.

The Group applies the simplified approach to allowing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of a lifetime expected credit losses allowance for all accounts receivable. The expected credit losses on accounts receivables are estimated by reference to past default experience with the respective debtors and an analysis of the debtors’ current financial positions. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance, which is based on the past due status of receivables, is not further distinguished according to the different segments of the Group’s customer base.

The Group writes off an account receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is experiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery of the receivable. For accounts receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables which are due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017

The Group applied the same credit policy in 2018 and 2017. Due to insignificant risks on the recoverability of the Group’s notes receivable and accounts receivable historically, an allowance for impairment loss was recognized based on the estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to the Group’s past default experience with the respective counterparties and an analysis of their current financial positions.

For the balances of some notes and accounts receivable that were past due at the end of the reporting period, the Group did not recognize an allowance for impairment loss because there was no significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable. The Group did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements for these balances.

For the balances of some accounts receivable that were past due at the end of the reporting period, the Group did not recognize an allowance for impairment loss because there was no significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable.

Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Corporation has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Corporation’s capital surplus and to once a year).

c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

Under the dividends policy as set out in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, where the Corporation made a profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as a legal reserve of 10% of the remaining profit or until the legal reserve equals the Corporation’s paid-in capital, and setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations. Then, any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Corporation’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for the distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders. For the policies on the distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors and supervisors, refer to Note 16.

The Articles of Incorporation also stipulate a dividends policy whereby the payment of cash dividends takes precedence over the issuance of share dividends. In principle, cash dividends shall not be less than 50% of the total dividends distributed.

An appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Corporation’s paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Corporation has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Corporation’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Items referred to under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC should be appropriated to a special reserve by the Corporation.

The appropriations of earnings for 2017 which were approved in shareholders’ meetings in June 2018 were as follows:

If the Group offered to settle compensation paid to employees in cash or shares, the Group assumed the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

20. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged in the future.

Key management personnel of the Group review the capital structure on an annual basis. As part of this review, the key management personnel consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the key management personnel, in order to balance the overall capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, the number of new shares issued, or the existing debt redeemed.

  • 2) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 2 fair value measurement

  • a) Derivative financial assets with no market price available for reference of their fair values have their fair values estimated using the respective mandatory convertible bonds’ evaluation model. The estimations and assumptions used by the Group for the evaluation method are consistent with those used by market participants in the pricing of financial instruments.

  • b) Domestic listed private shares with no market price available for reference of their fair values have their fair values estimated using the evaluation method. The estimations and assumptions used by the Group for the evaluation method are consistent with those used by market participants in the pricing of financial instruments. The relevant information used in the evaluation was obtainable by the Corporation.

The evaluation method used by the Group for estimating fair value is the Black-Scholes model.

  • 3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement

Unlisted equity securities - ROC held by the Corporation are mainly investment in domestic listed shares. Thus, the aforementioned unlisted equity securities were evaluated using the asset-based approach. Separate assets and liabilities of the underlying investments were respectively regarded as individual evaluation targets and were evaluated according to their nature to reflect their overall fair value. Unobservable inputs used by the Group were an 89.75% discount rate for lack of marketability as of September 30, 2018. If the discount rate for lack of marketability were to increase/decrease by 1% and all other variables were held constant, the fair value would decrease/increase by $4,472 thousand.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, accounts receivable, accounts payables, and borrowings. The Group’s corporate treasury function is responsible for monitoring and managing the financial risks related to the operations of the Group. These risks include market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.

a) Foreign currency risk

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) are set out in Note 26.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar (USD).

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 2% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and representing management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates is 2%. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 2% change in foreign currency rates. The table below indicates an increase (a decrease) in pre-tax profit associated with the New Taiwan dollar strengthening 2% against the U.S. dollar.

b) Interest rate risk

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rate risk at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

September 30, September 30, December 31, December 31, September 30, September 30,
2018 2017 2017
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets $ 76,157
$ 97,827
$ 94,262
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets 18,497 21,960 22,598
Financial liabilities 4,026,388 5,121,625 4,236,933

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis was based on the Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For variable interest rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. The sensitivity rate of 1% is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

The financial assets and liabilities held by the Group with variable interest rates will change according to the effective interest rates, which vary with market interest rates, and will result in fluctuations of the future cash flows.

For the financial assets held by the Group with variable interest rates on September 30, 2018 and 2017, if the market interest rates had been 1% higher, the cash inflow from variable interest rate financial assets would have been $139 thousand and $169 thousand, respectively. If the market interest rates had been 1% lower, there would be an equal and opposite impact on variable interest rate financial assets, and the amount would be negative.

For the financial liabilities held by the Group with variable interest rates on September 30, 2018 and 2017, if the market interest rates had been 1% higher, the cash outflow from variable interest rate financial liabilities would have been $30,198 thousand and $31,777 thousand, respectively. If the market interest rates had been 1% lower, there would be an equal and opposite impact on variable interest rate financial liabilities, and the amount would be negative.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk on its investments in mutual funds and marketable securities.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group assessed the risk of the financial assets with variances in equity prices. Sensitivity analyses were used for evaluating the exposure to equity price risks.

If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower, the pre-tax profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 would have increased/decreased by $3,808 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 would have increased/decreased by $15,165 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.

  • 36 -

If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower, pre-tax profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have increased/decreased by $5,565 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of held-for-trading investments, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have increased/decreased by $9,360 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale shares.

2) Credit risk

There is no significant concentration of credit risk for the Group. Credit risk is from cash and cash equivalent deposits in banks and accounts receivable from customers.

The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient letters of bank guarantees and security deposits, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. To reduce credit risk, the Group has established internal monitoring procedures to monitor credit risk exposure and the credit condition of counterparties.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks and financial institutions with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of September 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, and September 30, 2017, the Group had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities of $336,975 thousand, $549,485 thousand and $379,495 thousand, respectively.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity of its non-derivative financial liabilities with variable interest rates and agreed repayment periods. The table was drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

c. Other transactions with government - related parties

The Ministry of Transportation and Communication of the Executive Yuan of the ROC holds a 26.46% interest in the Corporation. In June 2012, the Corporation purchased seven-year, privately placed, secured mandatory convertible bonds (classified as at FVTPL) issued by Yang Ming (of which the Ministry of Transportation and Communication of the Executive Yuan of the ROC holds a 35.51% interest) for $200,000 thousand. The bonds, with a coupon rate of 3% per annum, are due in June 2019 and were transferrable starting from three months after issuance. The bonds shall only be converted into Yang Ming’s ordinary shares at the prevailing conversion price on the last day of the seven-year maturity.

In February 2017, the Corporation purchased 19,083 thousand shares of private ordinary shares issued by Yang Ming for $199,990 thousand (classified as at FVTOCI - non-current as of September 30, 2018 and as available-for-sale financial assets - non-current as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively), and the rights and obligations of the private ordinary shares are the same as those of the ordinary shares issued by Yang Ming. However, the private shares are subject to the restrictions on transfer by the Securities Exchange Act., which say that private shares may not be transferred within 3 years of the delivery date. After 3 full years have elapsed since the delivery date of the private ordinary shares, Yang Ming may apply for registration of the retroactive handling of public issuance and listing with the FSC, if Yang Ming complies with the relevant laws and regulations.

  • 39 -

In November 2017, the Group paid $158,519 thousand in cash to acquire an additional 13,210 thousand shares issued by Yang Ming. However, the Group’s investment in Yang Ming was still classified as at FVTOCI - current as of September 30, 2018 and as available-for-sale financial assets - current as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively, as the Group did not have any significant influence over Yang Ming.
