INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Taita Chemical Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Taita Chemical Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters identified in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 are stated as follows:

Authenticity of the Recognition of Sales Revenue from Customers of Specific Products

Due to the market demand and the fluctuation of international crude oil price, the sales revenue of the Group has increased significantly in 2021, compared to 2020. However, the sales revenue of 2021 was mainly from specific products, and the sales revenue from some customers has increased significantly in great amounts. Whether these sales revenues are recognized when the contractual obligations are actually met will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements and is therefore the key audit matter for the year.

For relevant accounting policies and disclosures of the recognition of sales revenue, please refer to Notes 4 and 24 of the consolidated financial statements.

  • 3 -

We performed the corresponding audit procedures, for the authenticity of the recognition of sales revenue, as follows:

  1. We understand and test the Group’s internal control procedures on the recognition of sales revenue and its effectiveness. Also, we evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used by management for the recognition of sales revenue.

  2. We verify the authenticity of the recognition of sales revenue by examining the certificate of sales transactions, including purchase orders, shipping orders, export documents and collection information.

  3. We review any occurrence of sales returns, discounts and allowances, and whether there are any abnormalities in the collections after the balance sheet date.

Other Matter

We have also audited the financial statements of Taita Chemical Co., Ltd. for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 on which we have issued an unmodified report.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’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 Group 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 Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 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 consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. 4 -

  3. 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 Group’s internal control.

  4. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  5. 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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  6. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  7. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsiu-Chun Huang and Cheng-Chun Chiu.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  • a. Statement of compliance

  • 15 -

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

  • b. Basis of preparation

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

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

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

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

  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

  • c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  • 1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • 3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

  • 1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • 3) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

d. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate any the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e., its subsidiaries). When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

See Note 12 and Tables 7 and 8 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including the percentages of ownership and main businesses).

  • e. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of the Group, transactions in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items

  • 16 -

arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of nonmonetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income; in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Group (including subsidiaries and associates in other countries that use currencies which are different from the currency of the Company) are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

f. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, production supplies, finished goods, and work in progress. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory writedowns are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at the weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

  • g. Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates.

Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of the equity of associates attributable to Group.

When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates accounted for using the equity method. If the amount of ownership interests in associates and joint ventures is not subscribed for or obtained in proportion to the shareholding ratio, the amount of the related assets or liabilities shall be recognized in other comprehensive income. The basis of the accounting treatment is the same as that of the associates and joint ventures. The difference in the balance of the capital reserve accounted for using the equity method shall be recognized in retained earnings.

When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net

  • 17 -

investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.

The entire carrying amount of an investment is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

The Group shall cease the use of equity method from the date when its investment is no longer an associate. Its retained interest in the associate is measured at fair value, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the investment and the carrying amount of the investment at the date of acquisition of the equity method is included in profit or loss for the current period.

When a group entity transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent that interests in the associate are not related to the Group.

  • h. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.

Except for freehold land, depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

  • i. Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost and include transaction costs for land. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.

  • j. Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

  • 18 -

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

  • k. Impairment of property, plant, and equipment as well as right-of-use assets, investment property, and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant, and equipment as well as right-of-use assets, investment property and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • l. Financial instruments

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

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

  • 1) Financial assets

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

  • a) Measurement categories

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

  • i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

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

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Dividends and interest accrued are recognized in other income and interest

  • 19 -

income respectively, and profits or losses accrued from remeasurement are recognized in other gains and losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 29.

ii. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTIZED COST

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

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

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

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

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:

  • i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and

  • ii) Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.

A credit-impaired financial asset refers to the situation where the issuer or debtor has experienced significant financial difficulties or defaults and therefore the debtor is likely to file for bankruptcy or declare financial restructuring, or the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset due to financial difficulties has occurred.

Cash equivalents include highly liquid time deposits and reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by bonds that can be readily converted into fixed amount of cash with limited risk of change in value. Cash equivalents are held to meet short-term cash commitments.

iii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

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

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

  • 20 -

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

  • b) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable).

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

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

For internal credit risk management purpose, if any internal or external information shows that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, the Group will determine that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Group).

The impairment loss of financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

  • c) Derecognition of financial assets

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

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

  • 2) Financial liabilities

  • a) Subsequent measurement

Except the financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 29.

  • b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

  • 21 -

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

  • 3) Derivative instruments

The Group enters into a variety of derivative instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

  • m. Revenue recognition

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

Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of PS, ABS, SAN, glasswool products, plastic raw materials and the related processed products. The sale of goods above is recognized as revenue when goods are delivered to a customer because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and the price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence. Accounts receivable are recognized concurrently.

  • n. Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

  • 1) The Company as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

  • 2) The Group as lessee

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Rightof-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and

  • 22 -

impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Rightof-use assets are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in a lease term, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-useassets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.

  • o. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the costs of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other than those stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

  • p. Employee benefits

  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.

  • 2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

  • 23 -

Net defined benefit liabilities represent the actual deficit in the Group’s defined benefit plans.

  • q. Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payables and deferred tax.

  • 1) Current tax

The Group determines the income (loss) of the current year in accordance with the laws and regulations in each income tax declaration jurisdiction, and calculates the income tax payable (recoverable) accordingly.

According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax of unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

  • 2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profit against which to utilize the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

  • 24 -

  • 3) Current and deferred taxes

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

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

The Group takes into account recent development of COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan and its potential impacts on the economy, including cash flow projections, growth rates, discount rates, profitability, etc. in Group's critical accounting estimates and the management will continue to review the estimates and underlying assumptions. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

  • a. Estimated impairment of financial accounts receivable

The provision for impairment of accounts receivable is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions and inputs used, see Note 10. Where the actual future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

  • b. Write-down of inventories

The net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and disposal. The estimation of net realizable value is based on current market conditions and historical experience with product sales of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of the net realizable value.

  • c. Estimation of damage compensation for associate’s gas explosion incidents

The Company’s associate, China General Terminal & Distribution Corporation (hereinafter “CGTD”), recognized a provision for civil damages due to gas explosion. The management considered the progress of the relevant civil and criminal procedures, settlements achieved, and legal advice to estimate the amount of the provision. However, the actual amount might differ from the current estimation.

These investments in equity instruments are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes.

a. Notes receivable and accounts receivable

The average credit period of sales of goods is 30-180 days. No interest is charged on receivables. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. For part of the accounts receivable, the Group entered into a credit insurance contract or obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. Before accepting new customers, the Group takes customer evaluation results generated by the internal system into consideration to measure the potential customer’s credit quality and define the customer’s credit limit. Customer credit limits and ratings are reviewed periodically. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Group measures the loss allowance for accounts receivable at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to the past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of economic conditions at the reporting date.

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

The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivable based on the Group’s provision matrix.

The Group with its affiliates jointly held more than 20% of the shareholdings of CGPC, ACME, ACME (Cayman) had significant influence over each entity. Therefore, the Group adopted the equity method to evaluate the above investments.

The Group formerly held 10% of shares of Thintec Materials Corporation (“TMC”) Since the Group and its affiliates jointly owned 95.8% of TMC’s shares, the Group adopted the equity method to evaluate the above investments. As TMC essentially has no production and sales business in recent years, the Board of Directors of TMC resolved on April 12, 2019 to conduct dissolution and liquidation starting from May 25, 2019 (dissolution date). The Group has recovered $1,274 thousand in May 2020 from the remaining property and recognized the investment disposal loss of of $173 thousand after TMC has completed dissolution and liquidation procedures in July, 2020. In February 2021, TMC received a refund of tax from the Taipei Bureau of Internal Revenue, Ministry of Finance, and in April 2021, the Group recovered $153 thousand in proportion to its shareholding before liquidation and recognized it as other income.

The management stopped the production of TAITA (TJ) in April 2019 as a result of the reduction in demand of EPS, which is the main product of Taita Chemical (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (“TAITA (TJ)”) in the local market. TAITA (TJ) determined the recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment, including right-of-use assets, on the basis of their fair value less cost of disposal and the fair value was measured by a third-party valuation expert with Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The valuation was based on the revaluation of the replacement cost and useful lives of each item of the above items of property, plant and equipment and results showed that the recoverable amount was lower than the carrying amount. The valuation led TAITA (TJ) to recognize impairment losses of $39 thousand and $22,078 thousand, which were recognized in operating costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Fair value from valuation are as follows:

Management was unable to reliably measure the fair value of investment properties located in Qianzhen District, Xingbang Section and Linyuan Industrial Park, because the fair value for comparable properties is inactive and alternative reliable measurements of fair value are not available. Therefore, the Group concluded that the fair value of the investment properties is not reliably measurable.

The property located in Qianzhan District has been leased to CGTD. The rental was $1,628 thousand per month, which is based on the actual usable area. Refer to Notes 25 and 30.

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

  • 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic or foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate of a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

  • 37 -

  • 2) Interest risk: A decrease in government bond interest rates will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plans’ debt investments.

  • 3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated with reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salaries of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

actuarial valuations were as follows:
Discount rate
Expected rate of salary increase
December31,2021
0.500%
2.250%
December31,2020
0.375%
2.250%

If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions were to occur and all other assumptions were to remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

Discount rate
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease
Expected rate of salary increase
0.25% increase

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in the assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The Company expects to make contributions of $20,000 thousand and $25,900 thousand to the defined benefit plans in the next year starting from December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation are 6.6 and 7.1 years, respectively.

  • b. Capital surplus

  • 38 -

Capital surplus which arises from the consideration received from issuance of shares (including consideration from issuance of ordinary shares) and donations may be used to offset a deficit, in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus and once a year).

Capital surplus arising from unpaid dividends due to overdue may be used to offset a deficit only. Capital surplus arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method may not be used for any purpose.

  • c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

Under the dividends policy as set forth in the amended Articles, where the Company made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as a legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for the distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders. For the policies on the distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors after the amendment, refer to employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors in Note 26-h.

According to the provisions of the Company’s Articles, the Company in order to take R&D needs and diversification of operations into consideration, dividends shall not be less than 10% of the distributable earnings in the current year, of which the cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of the total dividends. However, if the distributable retained earnings per share of the current year are less than $0.1, the retained earnings are not to be distributed.

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

Items referred to under Rule No. 1090150022 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs” should be appropriated to or reversed from a special reserve by the Company.

Financial Instruments Valuation Techniques and Inputs Derivatives - foreign exchange Discounted cash flow: Future cash flows are forward contracts estimated based on observable forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.

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

To determine the fair value for Level 3 financial instruments, the Group’s investment department conducts independent fair value verification using external resources so as to better reflect the market conditions, as well as periodically reviewing the valuation results in order to guarantee the rationality of the measurement. For unlisted domestic equity investments, the Group utilizes the asset approach and takes into account the most recent net asset value, observable financial status as well as the financing activities of investees in order to determine their net asset value. The unobservable input used was a discount for the lack of marketability of 15% on December 31, 2021 and 2020.

  • Note 2. The balance includes financial liabilities at amortized cost, which includes shortterm and long-term loans, short-term bills payable, accounts payable (including related parties) and other payables (including related parties and excluding payables for taxes).

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s risk control and hedging strategy are influenced by its operational environment. The Group properly monitors and manages the risks related to business nature and according to the principle of risk diversification. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

1) Market risk

The main financial risks the Group is exposed to in the business activities are foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk.

There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency risk

The Group conducted foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk. In order to avoid the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, which lead to deductions in foreign currency denominated assets and fluctuations in their future cash flows, the Group used foreign exchange forward contracts to eliminate foreign currency exposure and thus mitigate the impact of the risk. The use of foreign exchange forward contracts was governed by the Group’s policies approved by the board of directors. Compliance with policies and exposure limits was reviewed by internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Group did not enter into or trade foreign exchange forward contracts for speculative purposes.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities are set out in Note 33. The derivatives exposing the Group to foreign currency risk are set out in Note 7.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group’s sensitivity analysis mainly focuses on the foreign currency risk of U.S. dollars at the end of the reporting period. Assuming a 3% strengthening/weakening of the functional currency against U.S. dollars, the net income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would have decreased/increased by $39,622 thousand and $29,125 thousand, respectively.

In management’s opinion, this sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the Group’s inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period did not reflect the exposure during the period.

  • b) Interest rate risk

The Group was exposed to the fair value risk of interest rate fluctuations for the fixed interest rate bearing financial assets and financial liabilities; the Group was exposed to the cash flow risk of interest rate fluctuations for the floating interest

  • 50 -

rate bearing financial assets and financial liabilities. The Group’s management regularly monitors the fluctuations on market rates and then adjusted its balance of floating rate bearing financial liabilities to make the Group’s interest rates more closely approach market rates in response to the interest rate risk.

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020

Fair value interest rate risk
-Financial assets $ 2,114,020 $ 1,692,108
-Financial liabilities 542,938 347,452
Cash flow interest rate risk
-Financial assets 502,512 781,793
-Financial liabilities 150,000 150,000

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk of cash flow for both financial assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. The fixed-rate financial assets and liabilities held by the Group are not included in the analysis as they are all measured at amortized cost. A 50 point fluctuation in interest rate was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would have decreased/increased by $1,763 thousand and $3,159 thousand, respectively.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to price risk through its investments in domestic listed shares, foreign and domestic unlisted shares, beneficiary securities and mutual funds. The Group manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. In addition, the Group has appointed a special team to monitor price risk.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis was based on the prices of securities as of the balance sheet date. However, in the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in which the Group invested, the risk of price fluctuation of money market funds was very limited, so it was not included in the analysis.

If the equity price increases / decreases by 5%, the net profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would increase / decrease by $6,645 thousand and $3,040 thousand respectively due to the increase / decrease in the fair value of financial assets (excluding investment in money market funds) at FVTPL. Other comprehensive income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would increase / decrease by $23,837 thousand and $17,075 thousand respectively due to the increase / decrease in the fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI, respectively.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group adopted a policy of only

  • 51 -

dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored.

As of December 31, 2021, except for specific customer’s accounts and notes receivable exceeded 16% of the total amount of all receivables, and the rest of the Group’s accounts receivable included numerous customers distributed over a variety of areas, and were not centered on a single customer or location. Furthermore, the Group mitigates credit concentration risk by obtaining letters of credit issued by financial institutions prior to shipment for the sales transactions to the aforementioned specific customers and continuously assesses the financial condition of its customers, and then the Group’s credit risk was limited. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group’s largest exposure of credit risk approximates to the carrying amount of financial assets.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

  • a) Liquidity and interest rate risk table for non-derivative financial liabilities

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

  • b. Explanation for the gas explosion in Kaohsiung:

Regarding the gas explosion of the propylene pipeline of Lee Chang Yung Chemical Industry Corporation (“Lee Chang Yung Chemical”) on the night of July 31, 2014 operated

  • 57 -

by the invested company by the equity method, China General Terminal & Distribution Corporation (“CGTD”), the criminal case of the gas explosion incident was dismissed by the Supreme Court on September 15, 2021 and all three employees of CGTD were acquitted.

CGTD arrived at an agreement with the Kaohsiung City Government on February 12, 2015, pledging certificates of bank deposits of $227,540 thousand, interests included, to the Kaohsiung City Government as collateral for the loss caused by the gas explosion. The Kaohsiung City Government also filed civil procedure requests in succession against LCY Chemical Corp., CGTD and CPC Corporation, Taiwan (“CPC”). Taiwan Power Company applied to the court for sequestration of CGTD's property on August 27 and November 26, 2015 and CGTD has deposited cash of $99,207 thousand to the court to avoid sequestration. Taiwan Water Corporation also applied to the court for false seizure of CGTD's property on February 3 and March 2, 2017 respectively. At the end of February 2022, the provisionally attached property was worth $12,472 thousand.

As for the victims, CGTD, LCY Chemical Corp. and the Kaohsiung City Government signed a tripartite agreement for the compensation of the 32 victims’ families on July 17, 2015. Each victim’s family received $12,000 thousand, and the total compensation was $384,000 thousand. The compensation was advanced by LCY Chemical Corp. LCY Chemical Corp. was in charge of negotiating the compensation with the victims’ families and signing the settlement agreement on behalf of the three parties.

As for the seriously injured, CGTD, LCY Chemical Corp. and the Kaohsiung City Government signed a tripartite agreement for the compensation of the 65 seriously injured victims’ families on October 25, 2017. Compensation was paid by CGTD and the Kaohsiung City Government, and CGTD was in charge of negotiating the compensation with the seriously injured victims’ families and signing the settlement agreement on behalf of the three parties with the 64 seriously injured victims’ families.

As of February 28, 2022, the victims and victims’ families had written letters or filed civil procedures (and criminal procedures) against CGTD, LCY Chemical Corp. and CPC for compensation. To reduce the lawsuit costs, CGTD had reached a settlement on the original claim for $46,677 thousand, and the amount of the settlement was $4,519 thousand. Along with the case still in litigation and the above-mentioned compensation, the accumulated amount of compensation is $3,856,447 thousand. The first instance verdict of some of these civil cases (indemnity amount of $1,341,128 thousand) have been convicted since June 22, 2018 and most cases determined that the negligence liability ratio of Kaohsiun Municipal Government, Lee Chang Yung Chemical and CGTD was 4:3:3, and that CGTD, Lee Chang Yung Chemical and other defendants should pay compensation of about $401,979 thousand (of which $6,194 thousand was exempted from liability by the court). Currently CGTD has filed an appeal for the adjudicated but unsettled civil cases and proceeded with the second instance procedure successively. The rest of the cases are still under trial in the Court of First Instance (the amount of compensation requested is approximately $2,012,493 thousand). CGTD signed a claim agreement with an insurance company, according to the negligence liability ratio determined by the judgment of first instance, it is estimated the settlement amount of victims and seriously injured, the compensation amount of civil litigation cases (including the settled cases), and estimated amount to be borne by itself after deducting the upper limit of insurance claim was $136,375 thousand, which had been included into the account. However, the actual amount of such settlement and compensation shall not be confirmed until the proportion of liability to be shared by CGTD is determined in accordance with the civil action.
