Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the parent company only financial statements of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation ("the Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China ("the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, 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 parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
- Revenue recognition
Regarding accounting policies on revenue recognition, please refer to note 4(o) "Revenue recognition" to the parent company only financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The Company's sales revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied, which depends on the various trade terms agreed with customers. Therefore, the accuracy of revenue recognition is considered to be one of most significance in the audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included assessing whether the accounting policies regarding to revenue recognition were inconformity with relevant accounting standards; obtaining understanding and testing the design and implement effectiveness of internal controls over revenue recognition; selecting samples and examining the transaction terms and vouchers; in addition, we also performed analytical procedures on primary customers and products to evaluate if there is any material abnormality.
- Impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method
Refer to note $4(n)$ "Impairment of non-financial assets" and note 6 (h) " Investments accounted for using equity method" to the parent company only financial statements for details of accounting policies and relevant information about impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method".
Description of key audit matter:
The Company assesses impairment of investments accounted for using equity method in accordance with relevant accounting standards. Such assessment of impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions, therefore, the assessment of impairment loss on investments accounted for using equity method is considered to be one of most significance in the audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included obtaining understanding of the Company's internal controls over impairment loss assessment; evaluating the appropriateness of assumptions adopted by management when determining the recoverable amount based on an appraisal report issued by a third party; and assessing the qualification and independence of the Certified Business Valuator.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of some equity-accounted investees of the Company. Those statements, which were prepared using a different financial reporting framework, were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us. We have performed audit procedures on the conversion adjustments to the financial statements of those investees, which conform to those financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those investees prior to the conversion adjustments, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. Investments accounted for using equity method on those investees constituting 13.22% of total assets at December 31, 2019, and the related share of profit of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method constituting 10.87% of total profit before tax for the year then ended.
The parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, were audited by another auditor, who expressed an unmodified opinion with other matters paragraph on March 11, 2019.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only 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.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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 Lin Wu and Yuan-Sheng Yin.

(English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese) TAIWAN STYRENE MONOMER CORPORATION
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(1) Company history
Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated on November 16, 1979, under the approval of Ministry of Economic Affairs, Republic of China (ROC). Registered address is 8F.-1, No.6, Sec.1, Roosevelt Rd., Taipei City. The Company manufactures and sells styrene monomer.
(2) Approval date and procedures of the financial statements
These parent-company-only financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2020.
(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted
The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") endorsed by the Financial $(a)$ Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. ("FSC") which have already been adopted.
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | Effective date per IASB |
|---|---|
| IFRS 16 "Leases" | January 1, 2019 |
| IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 "Prepayment features with negative compensation" | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 19 "Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement" | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 28 "Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures" | January 1, 2019 |
| Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015-2017 Cycle | January 1, 2019 |
Except for IFRS 16 "Leases", the Company believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:
IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
The Company applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below,
i) Definition of a lease
Previously, the Company determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in note 4(1).
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Company applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.
$\mathbf{ii}$ As a lessee
As a lessee, the Company previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Company. Under IFRS 16, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases - i.e. these leases are onbalance sheet.
The Company decided to apply recognition exemptions to short-term leases of transportation and office equipment as well as leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. At transition of the leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.
In addition, the Company used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases.
- Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
- Adjusted the right-of-use assets by the amount of IAS 37 onerous contract provision immediately before the date of initial application, as an alternative to an impairment review.
- Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term.
-
Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
-
Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
- iii) As a lessor
The Company is not required to make any adjustments on transition to IFRS 16 for leases in which it acts as a lessor. The Company accounted for its leases in accordance with IFRS 16 from the date of initial application.
Under IFRS 16, the Company is required to assess the classification of a sub-lease by reference to the right-of-use asset, not the underlying asset.
$iv)$ Impacts on financial statements
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognized additional \$55,022 thousands of right-ofuse assets and lease liabilities. When measuring lease liabilities, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 1.30%.
The explanation of differences between operating lease commitments disclosed at the end of the annual reporting period immediately preceding the date of initial application, and lease liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position at the date of initial application disclosed as follows:
| January 1, 2019 | |
|---|---|
| Operating lease commitment at December 31, 2018 as disclosed in the parent company only financial statements |
\$ 51,725 |
| Immaterial lease payment not disclosed in financial statements | 7,554 |
| Recognition exemption for: | |
| short-term leases | (1,050) |
| lease of low-value assets | (1, 823) |
| 56,406 | |
| Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019 (lease liabilities recognized at January 1, 2019) |
55,022 |
$(b)$ The impact of IFRS endorsed by FSC but not yet effective
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 in accordance with Ruling No. 1080323028 issued by the FSC on July 29, 2019:
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | Effective date per IASB |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 3 "Definition of a Business" | January 1, 2020 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39 and IFRS7 "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform" | January 1, 2020 |
| Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 "Definition of Material" | January 1, 2020 |
(Continued)
The Company assesses that the adoption of the abovementioned standards would not have any material impact on its parent company only financial statements.
The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not vet endorsed by the FSC $(c)$
As of the date, the following IFRSs that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have vet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | Effective date per IASB |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture" |
Effective date to be determined by IASB |
| IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current" |
January 1, 2021 January 1, 2022 |
The Company is evaluating the impact of its initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations on its financial position and financial performance. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Company completes its evaluation.
$(4)$ Summary of significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies presented in the parent company only financial statements are summarized as follows. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the presented periods in the parent company only financial statements.
Statement of compliance $(a)$
These parent company only financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (the "Regulations").
- Basis of preparation $(b)$
- $(i)$ Basis of measurement
Except for the following significant accounts, the parent company only financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:
- $1)$ Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value:
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair 2) value:
- $3)$ The defined benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less fair value of the plan assets.
(ii) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Company is determined based on the primary economic environment in which it operates. The parent company only 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.
Foreign currencies $(c)$
$(i)$ Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company at 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 currency 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 currency using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary 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 an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Company's functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation 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 any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Company disposes of only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
$(d)$ Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current:
- $(i)$ 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 or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current:
An entity shall classify a liability as current when:
- It is expected to be settle in the normal operating cycle; $(i)$
- (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading:
- (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
- (iv) The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability 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.
- Cash and cash equivalents $(e)$
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short term, 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 short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.
$(f)$ Financial instruments
Trade receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company 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.
$(i)$ 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) - equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company 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.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost $1)$
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)
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.
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. 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, trade receivables, other receivables and refundable deposits).
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (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 is 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 assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.
Lifetime ECL are the ECL that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECL are the portion of ECL 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 ECL 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 assesse whether financial assets carried at amortized cost 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 asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
- a breach of contract such as a default:
- 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.
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. 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.
$5)$ 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
- Classification of debt or equity $\mathbf{1}$
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.
$3)$ 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 or it is designated as such on initial recognition.
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.
$4)$ 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.
5) 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.
$(g)$ Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The costs of inventories are calculated using 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 process, 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 costs incurred upon completion and selling expenses.
- (h) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale
- $(i)$ Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are highly probable to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are reclassified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Company's accounting policies. Thereafter, generally, the assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Any impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to assets not within the scope of IAS $36$ – Impairment of Assets. Such assets will continue to be measured in accordance with the Company's accounting policies.
Impairment losses on assets initially classified as held for sale and any subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized.
Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.
$(ii)$ Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company's business that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and
- represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations;
- is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or
- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.
$(i)$ Investments in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over their 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 parent company only financial statements include the Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, 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. The Company recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate's equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual significant influence.
Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated the Company's interest in the associate.
When the Company's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interests 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 associate.
The Company discontinues the use of the equity method and measures the retained interest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Company accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the associates had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss (or retained earnings) on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Company reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (or retained earnings) when the equity method is discontinued. If the Company's ownership interest in an associate is reduced while it continues to apply the equity method, the Company reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest to profit or loss.
When the Company subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Company's proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments, with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under capital surplus. If the capital surplus resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Company's ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of the associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
$(i)$ Investment in subsidiaries
In preparing the parent company only financial statements of the Company, investees controlled by the Company are accounted for using equity method. Under equity method, profit or loss and other comprehensive income recognized in the parent company only financial statements are the same as the the profit or loss and other comprehensive income attributable to the owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, changes in equity recognized in the parent company only financial statement is the same as changes in equity attributable to owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements.
Change in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions with owners.
- Property, plant and equipment $(k)$
- $(i)$ Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
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 cost
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 cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:
- $1)$ Buildings and structures: 4~60 years
- $\mathbf{2}$ Machinery and equipment: 6~20 years
- $3)$ Transportation equipment: 3 years
- $4)$ Other equipment: $3 \sim 20$ years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
$(1)$ Leases
Applicable from January 1, 2019
Identifying a lease $(i)$
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. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
- the contract involves the use of an identified asset this may be specified explicitly or $1)$ implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and
-
$2)$ the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
-
$3)$ the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:
- the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or
- the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:
- the customer has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or
- the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.
- (ii) As a leasee
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 of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase option; or
- there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an 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 transportation and office equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(iii) 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.
Applicable before December 31, 2018
(i) Lessee
Payments made under operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
(ii) Lessor
Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(m) Intangible assets
Recognition and measurement $(i)$
Other intangible assets, 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 expenditure, 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 from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
- 1) Technical royalty: 15 years
- 2) Computer software: $3-5$ years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Impairment of non-financial assets $(n)$
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset' s recoverable amount is estimated.
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.
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. For non-financial 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) Revenue recognition
- Revenue from contract with customers $(i)$
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 styrene monomer. 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. 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.
$2)$ 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.
- Employee benefits $(p)$
- Defined contribution plans $(i)$
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.
(ii) Defined benefit plans
The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately 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.
(iii) 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.
$(q)$ 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 payables or receivables 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. 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 that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;
- $(ii)$ temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company 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 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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:
- $\ddot{\mathbf{i}}$ the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities: and
- $\mathbf{ii}$ the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
- the same taxable entity; or a)
- different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net $b)$ 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
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.
$(r)$ Earnings per share
The Company discloses basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares.
$(s)$ Operating segments
The Company has disclosed information about operating segments in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, no segmental information is disclosed in the parent company only financial statements.
Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty $(5)$
The preparation of the parent company only financial statements in conformity with the Regulations requires management to make 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.
There is no information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that might have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the parent company only financial statements.
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 following period.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method. The Company compares the carrying amounts and the recoverable amount (the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell) of investments accounted for using equity method to determine whether there is any impairment. In the process of determining the recoverable amount, the Company rely on an appraisal report issued by an expert which had been prepared based on market approach and income approach. Any changes in economic conditions could result in significant impairment charges.

|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Discount rate | 1.00% | $1.00\%$ |
| Future salary increase rate | 1.50% | 1.50% |
The expected allocation payment to be made by the Company to the defined benefit plans for the one-year period after the reporting date is \$648 thousand.
The weighted-average lifetime of the defined benefit plans is 4.2 years.
$(7)$ Sensitivity analysis
Calculations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were based on the judgements and estimates made on the actuarial assumptions as of the balance sheet date, including discount rate, employee turnover rate and future salary changes. Any possible changes in the actuarial assumptions would affect the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date.
If the actuarial assumptions had changed, the impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligations shall be as follows:
| Influence of defined benefit obligations |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Increase | Decrease | ||
| December 31, 2019 | |||
| Discount rate (changed by $0.25\%$ ) | S | (2,132) | 2,186 |
| Future salary increase rate (changed by 1%) | 9,178 | (8, 466) |
| Influence of defined benefit obligations |
||
|---|---|---|
| Increase | Decrease | |
| December 31, 2018 | ||
| Discount rate (changed by $0.25\%$ ) | (2,648) | 2.719 |
| Future salary increase rate (changed by 1%) | 11,162 | (10,232) |
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.
The calculation and assumptions used in the sensitivity analysis during the year were consistent with prior year.
(ii) Defined benefit plans
The Company allocates 6% of each employee's monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act.

$(x)$ Employee compensation and directors and supervisors' remuneration
According to the Article of Incorporation, once the Company has annual profit, it should appropriate 1%~5% of the profit to its employees and 2.5% or less to its directors and supervisors as remuneration (since January 31, 2019, the Audit Committee has been set up to replace the supervisors' authority). However, if the Company still has accumulated deficit, the profit should be reserved to offset the deficit.
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the renumerations to employees amounted to \$23,949 thousand and \$33,086 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration to directors and supervisors amounted to \$23,949 thousand and \$41,073 thousand, respectively. The estimated amounts mentioned above are calculated based on the net profit before tax, excluding the remuneration to employees, directors and supervisors of each period, multiplied by the percentage of remuneration to employees, directors and supervisors as specified in the Company's articles. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or operating expenses during 2019 and 2018. Related information would be available at the Market Observation Post System website. If there are any subsequent adjustments to the actual remuneration amounts, the adjustment will be regarded as changes in accounting estimates and will be reflected in profit or loss in the following year. The amounts, as stated in the consolidated financial statements are identical to those of the actual distributions for 2018.
Financial instruments $(y)$
- Credit risk $(i)$
- $1)$ Credit risk exposure
The carrying amount of financial assets and contract assets represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk.
$2)$ Concentration of credit risk
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company reviewed the concentrations of credit risk arising from the major top ten customers, and it was 84% and 82% of the total accounts receivable, respectively. The concentrations of credit risk of the remaining accounts receivable are relatively small.
Credit risk of receivables $3)$
For credit risk exposure of note and trade receivables, please refer to note $6(c)$ . Other financial assets at amortized cost include time deposits and other receivables, etc. The allowance for the receivables is measured by lifetime expected credit losses. The remaining financial assets are measured by 12-month expected credit losses.

The Company does not expect the cash flows included in the maturity analysis to occur significantly earlier or at significantly different amounts.
(iii) Market risk
$1)$ Currency risk
The Company's significant exposure to foreign currency risk was as follows:
| December 31, 2019 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exchange rate |
NTD | Foreign currency |
Exchange rate |
NTD | ||
| \$ 2,662 |
29.980 | 79,807 | 4.342 | 30.715 | 133,380 | |
| 14,685 | 29.980 | 440,256 | 20,127 | 30.715 | 618,203 | |
| Foreign currency |
December 31, 2018 |
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, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A strengthening (weakening) of 1% of the NTD against the USD as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, would have increased (decreased) net profit before tax by \$3,604 thousand and \$4,848 thousand. The analysis is performed on the same basis.
For years 2019 and 2018, foreign exchange gain (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to \$5,109 thousand and \$(18,471) thousand, respectively.
$2)$ Interest rate risk
Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Company's financial assets and liabilities.
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding assets with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of assets outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding through the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 1% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the management's assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.
There is no financial liabilities at variable rates as of December 31, 2019. If the interest rate had increased/decreased by 1%, the Company's profit before tax would have decreased and increased by \$3,514 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2018 with all other variable factors remaining constant. This is mainly due to the Company's loan at variable rates.
$3)$ Other market price risk
If the securities price at the reporting date changes (the analysis is performed on the same basis and all other variable factors remaining constant), the effect for comprehensive income is illustrated below:
| For the years ended December 31 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | ||||

(iv) Fair value information
$1)$ Types and fair value of financial instruments
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value on the basis of repeatability. The carrying amount and fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. including the information on fair value hierarchy were as follows; however, except as described in the following paragraphs, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is reasonably close to the fair value, and lease liabilities, disclosure of fair value information is not required:

$2)$ Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value
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. Whether transactions are taking place 'regularly' is a matter of judgment and depends on the facts and circumstances of the market for the instrument.
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. Determining whether a market is active involves judgment.
Measurements of fair value of financial instruments without an active market are based on valuation technique or quoted price from a competitor. Fair value, measured by using valuation technique that can be extrapolated from either similar financial instruments or discounted cash flow method or other valuation techniques, including models, is calculated based on available market data at the reporting date. For example, yield curve of Taipei Exchange and average interest rate of commercial paper quoted by Reuters.
$3)$ Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2
There is no transfer for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

5) Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement
The Company's financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value include financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss-equity investments.
The Company's equity investments without an active market which are classified as Level 3 have numerous unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs of equity instrument investments are not correlated to each other.
Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:

6) Fair value measurements in Level $3$ – sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions
The fair value measurement of financial instruments by the Company is reasonable, but the use of different evaluation models or evaluation parameters may result in different evaluation results. For financial instruments classified as Level 3, if the price to book ratio or liquidity discount changes by 10%, the other comprehensive gains and losses for the period will decrease or increase by \$959 thousand and \$1,098 thousand, respectively.
The favorable and unfavorable changes of the Company refer to the fluctuation of fair value, and the fair value is calculated by valuation techniques based on the unobservable input parameters of different degrees.
- $(z)$ Financial risk management
- $(i)$ Overview
The Company have exposures to the following risks from its financial instruments:
- $\left| \right|$ credit risk
- 2) liquidity risk
- $3)$ market risk
The following likewise discusses the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the above mentioned risks. For more disclosures about the quantitative effects of these risks exposures, please refer to the respective notes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Structure of risk management $(ii)$
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The financial department of the Company provides services and coordinates the operation of the financial market. And the important activities are subject to
Inter-relationshin
the Board of Directors' approval. The Company must be abided by the financial risk management and operation. Internal Audit undertakes reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Board of Directors regularly.
(iii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and investments in debt securities.
1) Accounts receivable and other receivable
The financial department has established a credit policy. Under the policy each new customer is analyzed individually for credit worthiness before payment and delivery terms are offered. The Company's review includes external ratings, when available, and bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer and represent the maximum open amounts without requiring approval from the financial department; these limits are reviewed quarterly. Customers that fail to meet the Company's benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Company only on a prepayment basis.
The Company's customers include many types and from many regions. In order to reduce credit risk, the Company reviews financial statuses and collectible of accounts receivable of each customer regularly and accounts loss allowance.
The Company has allowance for impairment losses account to reflect the estimated loss of account receivable and other receivables. The main components of the allowance account include specific loss components related to individual significant risks, and combined loss components established for similar asset groups that have occurred but have not yet been identified. Portfolio loss allowance accounts are determined based on historical payment statistics for similar financial assets.
Investments $2)$
The credit risk resulted from bank deposits, fixed income investments, and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Company's finance department. The Company only transacts with financial institutions with good credit rating. The Company does not centralized its investments on specific counterparties hence there is no significant credit risk arising therefrom.
(iv) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting 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 far as possible, that it always has 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.
The Company manages sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Company's management supervises the banking facilities and ensures compliance with the terms of loan agreements.
Market risk $(v)$
Market risk is the 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 and purchases are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currency of the Company. The currency used in these transactions is USD. The Company adopts a natural hedging strategy. When the net assets and liabilities imbalances occur in the short-term, the Company buys or sells foreign currencies to maintain exposures at an acceptable level.
$2)$ Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of changes in the fair value of financial instruments caused by changes in market interest rates or the risk of changes in cash flows of financial instruments caused by changes in market interest rates. The interest rate risk of the financial assets and liabilities is described in the note of liquidity risk management.
$3)$ Other market price risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk due to the investments in equity securities. The Company actively monitors the performance of this investment portfolios using fair value basis. This is a strategic investment and is not held for trading. The Company does not actively trade in these investments.
(aa) Capital management
The Company plan the capital which need in the future (including research and development costs and repayment) based on the characteristics of operating and development, and considering factors such as changes in the external environment to protect sustainable development of the Company, give back to shareowners and maintain the best structure to enhance value. Overall, the Company adopts a prudent risk management strategy.
