Independent Auditors' Review Report
To the Board of Directors of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation:
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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 review.
Scope of Review
Except as explained in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph, we conducted our review in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standard 65, "Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of the 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 conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards 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 stated in note 4(b), the consolidated financial statements included the financial statements of certain nonsignificant subsidiaries, which were not reviewed by independent auditors. These financial statements reflect total assets amounting to \$480,921 thousand, constituting 4.67% of consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2019, total liabilities amounting to \$22,717 thousand, constituting 0.96% of consolidated total liabilities as of March 31, 2019, and total comprehensive income (loss) amounting to \$(113) thousand, constituting, 0.04% of consolidated total comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Furthermore, as stated in note 6(h), the equity accounted investments of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation and its subsidiaries in its investee companies of \$1,485,760 thousand as of March 31, 2019, and its equity in net earnings on these investee companies of \$39,412 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019, were recognized solely on the financial statements prepared by these investee companies, but not reviewed by independent auditors.
Qualified Conclusion
Except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investee companies described in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph above been reviewed by independent auditors, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2019, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 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.
Other Matter
The financial statements of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation and its subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2018, were reviewed by another auditor, who expressed a qualified conclusion on those statements on May 14, 2018, due to the financial statements of certain non-significant subsidiaries and the equity accounted investments of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation and its subsidiaries were not reviewed by independent auditors.
The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors' review report are Lin Wu and Yuan-Sheng Yin.

TAIWAN STYRENE MONOMER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 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. Please refer to note 4(b) for the major business activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").
(2) Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 7, 2019.
(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 | Lifecuve 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 the following items, the Group believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:
$(i)$ IFRS 16 "Leases"
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.
13.00 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Group 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,
$1)$ Definition of a lease
Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in note 4(c).
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Group 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.
$2)$ As a lessee
As a lessee, the Group 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 Group. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases $-$ i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.
The Group 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 Group'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 Group 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.
- $3)$ As a lessor
The Group is not required to make any adjustments on transition to IFRS 16 for leases in which it acts as a lessor, except for a sub-lease. The Group accounted for its leases in accordance with IFRS 16 from the date of initial application.
Under IFRS 16, the Group is required to assess the classification of a sub-lease by reference to the right-of-use asset, not the underlying asset. On transition, the Group reassessed the classification of a sub-lease contract previously classified as an operating lease under IAS 17. The Group concluded that the sub-lease is a finance lease under IFRS 16.
4) Impacts on financial statements
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognized additional \$70,045 thousands of right-ofuse assets and \$66,475 thousands of lease liabilities, the difference amounted to \$3,570 thousands was a decrease in rental prepayments. When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 1.76%.
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 Group's consolidated financial statements |
S 51,725 |
| Immaterial lease payment not disclosed in financial statements | 25,865 |
| Recognition exemption for: | |
| short-term leases | (7,229) |
| lease of low-value assets | (2, 456) |
| 67,905 | |
| Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019 (lease liabilities recognized at January 1, 2019) |
66,475 |
(b) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
As of the date, the following IFRSs that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| 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 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" | January 1, 2021 |
| Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 "Definition of Material" | January 1, 2020 |
The above IFRSs are not relevant to the Group.
(4) Summary of significant accounting policies
$(a)$ Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (the "Regulations") and IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" which are endorsed and issued into effect by FSC, and do not include all of the information required by the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC (hereinafter referred to IFRS endorsed by the FSC) for a complete set of the annual consolidated financial statements.

- $(c)$ Leases (applicable from January 1, 2019)
- (i) Identifying a lease
At inception of a contract, the Group 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 Group assesses whether:
- $1)$ the contract involves the use of an identified asset $-$ this may be specified explicitly or 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 Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
- 3) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of an asset if either:
- the Group has the right to operate the asset; or
- the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and nonlease components as a single lease component.
(ii) As a leasee
The Group 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 anv 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 Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
- 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 Group'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 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of transportation and office equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(iii) As a leasor
When the Group 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 Group 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 Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
(d) Employee benefits
The pension cost in the interim period was calculated and disclosed on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior fiscal year.
(e) Income tax
The income tax expenses have been prepared and disclosed in accordance with paragraph B12 of International Financial Reporting Standards 34, Interim Reporting.
Income tax expenses for the period are best estimated by multiplying pre-tax income for the interim reporting period by the effective annual tax rate as forecasted by the management. This should be recognized fully as tax expense for the current period (and allocated to current and deferred taxes based on its proportionate size).
Temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases shall be measured based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the time of the asset or liability is recovered or settled, and be recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income as tax expense.
Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty $(5)$
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and IFRSs (in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and endorsed by the FSC) 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.
The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements, estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis which is in conformity with the consolidated financial statements for the vear ended December 31, 2018. For the related information, please refer to note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information. The loss allowance provision was determined as follows:

(y) 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.
The amounts of the remunerations to employees, directors and supervisors for the three-months period ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were calculated using the Company's net income before tax without the remunerations to employees, directors and supervisors for each period, multiplied by the proposed percentage which is stated under the Company's proposed Article of Incorporation. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or expenses for each period.
If there are any subsequent adjustments to the actual remuneration amounts after the annual shareholder' meeting, the adjustment will be regarded as changes in accounting estimates and will be reflected in profit or loss in the following year. Shares distributed to employees as employees' remuneration are calculated based on the closing price of the Company's shares one day before the approval by the Board of Directors.
Details of accrued remunerations to employees, directors and supervisors were as follows:
| For the three months ended March 31 |
||
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Employees compensation | 9,186 | 10,310 |
| Directors' and supervisors' remuneration | 8,999 | 12,887 |
| 18.185 | 23.197 |
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the renumerations to employees amounted to \$33,086 thousand and \$27,440 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration to directors and supervisors amounted to \$41,073 thousand and \$34,300 thousand, respectively. The amounts as stated in the consolidated financial statements are identical to those of the actual distributions. Related information would be available at the Market Observation Post System website.
(z) Financial instruments
Except for the contention mentioned below, there was no significant change in the fair value of the Group's financial instruments and degree of exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk arising from financial instruments. For the related information, please refer to note 44 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
- Credit risk $(i)$
- $1)$ Credit risk exposure
The carrying amount of financial assets and contract assets represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk.
Concentration of credit risk $2)$
As of March 31, 2019, and December 31 and March 31, 2018, the Group reviewed the concentrations of credit risk arising from the major top ten customers, and it was 84%, 78% and 91%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable. The concentrations of credit risk of the remaining accounts receivable is 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, other receivables, etc. The allowance for the receivables in the financial assets is measured by the amount of lifetime expected credit losses. The remaining financial assets are measured by the amount of 12-month expected credit losses.

| CNY | 1.719 | 4.586 | 7.885 | ٠ | ÷ | V20 | Œ. | $\overline{\phantom{a}}$ | ÷ |
The Group'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 and CNY as at March 31, 2019 and 2018, would have increased (decreased) net profit after tax by \$2,033 thousand and \$5,905 thousand for the three month ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis.
Since the Group has many kinds of functional currency, the information on foreign exchange gain (loss) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, foreign exchange gain (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to \$1,387 thousand and \$20,833 thousand, respectively.
$2)$ Interest rate risk
Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Group'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.
If the interest rate had increased / decreased by 1%, the Group's net income would have increased / decreased by \$688 thousand and \$200 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 with all other variable factors remaining constant. This is mainly due to the Group'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 the profit and loss is illustrated below:
| For the three months ended March 31 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | ||||||

$2)$ 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.

5) Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement
The Group'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 Group'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:

Market method company method) |
· Price to book ratio (Comparable listed $\cdot$ Lack of market liquidity discount |
$\cdot$ The fair would value increase if price to book ratio increase |
| equity investments without an active market |
fair value would $\pm$ The decrease if lack of market liquidity discount increase |
$6)$ Fair value measurements in Level $3$ – sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions
The fair value measurement of financial instruments by the consolidated 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 increase or decrease by \$512 thousand and \$710 thousand respectively.
The favorable and unfavorable changes of the Group 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.
