Independent Auditors’ Review Report

To the Board of Directors of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation:

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, as well as the changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph, we conducted our reviews 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 $287,522 thousand and $661,078 thousand, constituting 3.37% and 7.12% of consolidated total assets as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, total liabilities amounting to $4,199 thousand and $32,160 thousand, constituting 0.27% and 2.02% of consolidated total liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and total comprehensive income (loss) amounting to $(20,223) thousand, $(4,938) thousand, $(34,829) thousand and $17,749 thousand, constituting 9.33%, 3.49%, 10.10% and 3.73% of consolidated total comprehensive income (loss) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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

3-1

Furthermore, as stated in note 6(i), the equity accounted investments of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation and its subsidiaries in its investee companies of $1,259,768 thousand and $1,357,011 thousand as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the related share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method on these investee companies of $5,952 thousand, $(10,894) thousand, $(12,699) thousand and $41,426 thousand for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, 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 reviews, 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 September 30, 2022 and 2021, and of its consolidated financial performance for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, as well as its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “ Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Lin Wu and Yuan-Sheng Yin.

  • Note 1: Non-significant subsidiaries for which the financial statements have not been reviewed by independent auditors.

  • Note 2: The Company and YSIC Ltd. (holding 12.10% of common shares) totally hold 77.17% of common shares of Yangmingshan Tien Lai Resort & SPA.

  • Note 3: The Group does not directly or indirectly hold more than half of the total shares of Tien Lai Co., Ltd., but because the chairman of the company is designated by the Group and the Group has control over the company, it is incorporated into consolidation.

(c) 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.

  • (d) Income taxes

The income tax expenses have been prepared and disclosed in accordance with paragraph B12 of International Accounting 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).

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

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the 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 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:

Current
1 to 90 days past due
91 to 180 days past due
181 to 365 days past due
More than 1 year past due
Current
1 to 90 days past due

(ii) Retained earnings

The Company’s Article of Incorporation stipulates that Company’s net earnings should first be used to offset the prior years' deficits, if any, before paying any income taxes. Of the remaining balance, 10% is to be appropriated as legal reserve, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be distributed according to the distribution plan proposed by the Board of Directors and submitted to the stockholders’ meeting for approval.

In general, cash dividends shall not be less than 30% of total dividends. However, based on the need to respond to changes in the industry, major investment plans and improve the financial structure, or in the case of sudden major capital needs, the cash dividend payout rate could be adjusted to 10% to 30%. If the cash dividend is less than $0.1 per share, it will not be issued, and the stock dividend will be paid instead.

On June 22, 2022 and July 7, 2021, the shareholders’ meeting resolved to distribute the 2021 and 2020 earnings. These earnings were appropriated as follows:

(aa) Remunerations to employees and directors

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 as remuneration. However, if the Company still has accumulated deficit, the profit should be reserved to offset the deficit.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there was no appropriation of remunerations to employees and directors because of net loss before tax.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the renumerations to employees amounted to $(4,135) thousand and $7,576 thousand, respectively, and the remunerations to directors amounted to $(4,135) thousand and $7,576 thousand, respectively. These amounts were calculated using the Company's net income before tax without the remunerations to employees and directors 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 shareholders' 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 on the day before the approval by the Board of Directors.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the remunerations to employees amounted to $49 thousand and $5,583 thousand, respectively. The remunerations to directors amounted to $49 thousand and $6,979 thousand, respectively. The differences between the amount as stated before and the actual distribution to employees and directors in 2021 and 2020 were $(49) thousand, $(49) thousand, $3,909 thousand and $2,513 thousand, respectively, which already recognized in profit or loss in 2022 and 2021. The information is available on the Market Observation Post System Website.

  • (ab) 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 6(ad) of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

  • (i) Credit risk

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 September 30, 2022, December 31 and September 30, 2021, the Group reviewed the concentrations of credit risk arising from the major top ten customers, and it was 94%, 96% and 95%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable. The concentrations of credit risk of the remaining accounts receivable are relatively small.

3) Credit risk of receivables

For credit risk exposure of trade receivables, please refer to note 6(c). Other financial assets at amortized cost include time deposits and other receivables, etc. The allowance for 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.

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, other financial assets, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A weakening (strengthening) of 1% of the NTD against the USD, CNY and EUR as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, would have increased (decreased) net profit before tax by $6,413 thousand and $2,277 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, foreign exchange gain (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to gain of $23,693 thousand and $6,716 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 profit (loss) before tax would have decreased/increase by $4,394 thousand and $1,418 thousand for nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with all other variable factors remaining constant. This is mainly due to the Group’s loan at variable rates.

2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

A. Non-derivative financial instruments

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.

(Continued)

35

TAIWAN STYRENE MONOMER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

Measurements of fair value of equity investments without an active market nor quoted market price are based on comparable listed company method. This method is based on the estimated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and the multipliers that are extrapolated from comparable listed company quoted prices. The estimated fair values are adjusted to the discounting effect of lack of market liquidity.

B. Derivative financial instruments

Measurement of the fair value of derivative instruments is based on the valuation techniques generally accepted by market participants such as the discounted cash flow or option pricing models. Fair value of currency swap contract is usually determined by the forward currency exchange rate.

  • 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 other comprehensive income-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:

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

The fair value measurement of financial instruments by the Group 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, changing the price to book ratio or liquidity discount would have the following effects on other comprehensive income:
