Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

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

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, 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 (“ IFRSs” ), International Accounting Standards (“ IASs” ), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“ the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. 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. Based on our judgment, the key audit matters that should be disclosed in this audit report are as follows.

  1. Revenue recognition

Please refer to note 4 (q) “ Revenue recognition” for accounting policy and note 6 (y) “ Revenue from contracts with customers” of the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Description of key audit matter:

The Group’ s revenues are derived from the sales of solar modules, power plant and cells. Revenue recognition is also dependent on whether the specified sales terms in each individual contract are met. In consideration of the high volume of sales transactions generated from world-wide operations, revenue recognition is one of the key areas our audit focused on.

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.

4-1

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included: understanding of revenue recognition policies and assessing whether revenue recognition policies are appropriate based on sales terms and revenue recognition criteria; understanding the design and process of implementation of internal controls and testing operating effectiveness; testing selected sales samples and agreeing to customer orders, delivery note and related documentation supporting sales recognition; testing sales cut-off, on a sample basis, for transactions incurred within a certain period before or after the balance sheet date by reviewing related sales terms, inspecting delivery documents, and other related supporting document to evaluate whether the revenue was recorded in proper period.

2. The valuation of power plants under construction

Please refer to note 4 (h) “Inventory” for accounting policy and note 5 “assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty for valuation of power plants under construction” of the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Description of key audit matter:

The Group developed its power plants under construction and sold them to earn profits. Therefore, the project revenue of the power plants under construction and the estimated marketable price are deemed essential by the Group, the valuation of power plants under construction is one of the key areas our audit focused on.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included: obtaining the comparative information of the total budget and actual accumulated expenditures of the projects currently under construction for the long-term equity investment and understanding the completion progress of each power plant project and additional costs needed to be invested as of the reporting date; reviewing the net realizable value of the power plants under construction as assessed by the management, including whether the evaluation method used complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards; checking the calculation of the net realizable value of the power plants under construction by the management, and evaluating the source of the estimated sales price.

  1. Assessment of impairment of non-financial assets

Please refer to note 4 (o) “Impairment of non-financial assets” for accounting policy and note 5 “assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty for impairment of non-financial assets” of the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Description of key audit matter:

The Group belongs to a high capital expenditure industry, and its production capacity relies on the customer needs. However, in an environment where market supply exceeds demand, product prices continue to decline. Therefore, the assessment of long-term non-financial asset impairment is important. The process of asset impairment assessment relies on the subjective judgment of the management. It is an accounting estimate with a high degree of uncertainty. Therefore, the assessment of impairment of non-financial assets is one of the key areas our audit focused on.

4-2

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included: assessing the cash-generating units recognized by the management that might have internal and external signs of impairment, and considering whether all assets that required annual impairment tests have been fully included in the assessment scope; evaluating whether the evaluation method used by the management to measure the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards, and reviewing its related calculations and various assumptions used, as well as conducting sensitivity analysis on important assumptions.

Other Matter

We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2019. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors who expressed an unqualified opinion with emphasis of matter and other matter paragraphs on those statements dated March 26, 2020.

The Group has prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, on which we and other auditors expressed an unqualified opinion and an unqualified opinion with emphasis of matter and other matter paragraphs, respectively.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation developed by IFRIC or 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.

4-3

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

  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. 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.

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the 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.

4-4

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 of the current period 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 Cheng Chien Chen and Yung Hua Huang.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

(1) Company history

United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd., formerly Neo Solar Power Corp., (the “Group”) was incorporated in the Republic of China on August 26, 2005. It specializes in manufacturing high-quality solar cells, solar cell modules and wafers. The Group’s main business activities include researching, developing, designing, manufacturing and selling solar cells, as well as participating in other solar-related businesses. Its ordinary shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) since January 2009.

On October 1, 2018, the Group merged with former Gintech Energy Corporation (“ Gintech” ) and Solartech Energy Corporation (“Solartech”), with the Group as the sole surviving company. On March 31, 2019, the Group merged with former General Energy Solutions Inc. (GES), with the Group as the surviving company and GES as the dissolved entity.

(2) Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements were approved and released by the Group’s board of directors on March 25, 2021.

(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:

  • (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.

The Group has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements during 2020:

  • ●Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business”

  • ●Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39 and IFRS7 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform”

  • ●Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material”

  • ●Amendments to IFRS 16 “COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions”

  • (b) The impact of IFRS issued by the FSC but not yet effective

The Group assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2021, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • ●Amendments to IFRS 4 “Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9”

  • ●Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39, IFRS7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 2”

(Continued)

10

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • (c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Group, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:

Standards or
Interpretations
Amendments to IAS 1
“Classification of Liabilities as
Current or Non-current”
Amendments to IAS 37
“Onerous Contracts-Cost of
Fulfilling a Contract”
Content of amendment
Effective date per
IASB
The amendments aim to promote consistency
in applying the requirements by helping
companies
determine
whether,
in
the
statement of balance sheet, debt and other
liabilities with an uncertain settlement date
should be classified as current (due or
potentially due to be settled within one year)
or non-current.
The amendments include clarifying the
classification
requirements
for
debt
a
company might settle by converting it into
equity.
January 1, 2023
The amendments clarify that the ‘ costs of
fulfilling a contract’ comprises the costs that
relate directly to the contract as follows:
●the incremental costs – e.g. direct labor
and materials; and
●an allocation of other direct costs – e.g. an
allocation of the depreciation charge for
an item of property, plant and equipment
used in fulfilling the contract.
January 1, 2022

The Group is evaluating the impact of its initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations on its consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.

The Group does not expect the following other new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • ●Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”

  • ●IFRS 17 “ Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “ Insurance Contracts”

  • ●Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipmentt Proceeds before Intended Use”

  • ●Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020

  • ●Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

  • ●Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

  • ●Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

(Continued)

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized as follows. The following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

(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 (hereinafter referred to as “the Regulations” ) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C..

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • 2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Group entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar (NTD), which is the Group’ s functional currency. All financial information presented in NTD has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

  • (c) Basis of consolidation

  • (i) Principles of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from Intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group attributes the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

(Continued)

12

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for alike transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attribute it to the owners of the parent.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost, with the resulting gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss. The Group recognizes as gain or loss in profit or loss the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration received as well as any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost ;and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill), liabilities of the subsidiary as well as any related non-controlling interests at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost, as gain or loss in profit or loss. When the Group loses control of its subsidiary, it accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if it had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

(ii) List of subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements:

Please refer to Note 13 (b) for the details of subsidiaries, shareholding ratios and main businesses and products included in the consolidated financial report

(iii) Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • (d) Foreign currencies

  • (i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies at the dates when the value was measured. Nonmonetary items denominated in foreign currencies measured at historical cost are translated into the functional currencies at the dates of transaction date.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

(Continued)

13

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to noncontrolling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

  • (e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non current.

  • (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities

are classified as non current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  • (i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

(Continued)

14

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting shortterm cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

(g) Financial instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(i) Financial assets

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

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

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

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

(Continued)

15

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established (Usually on the ex-dividend date).

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and trade receivables, other receivable, leases receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets).

The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • ‧ debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

  • ‧ other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

(Continued)

16

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Corporation considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Corporation’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forwardlooking information.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

5) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

2) Equity instrument

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

(Continued)

17

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

3) Treasury shares

When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be written down).

4) Preference shares

The Group’s redeemable preference shares are classified as financial liabilities, because they bear non-discretionary dividends and are redeemable in cash by the holders. Nondiscretionary dividends thereon are recognized as interest expense in profit or loss as accrued. Non-redeemable preference shares are classified as equity, because they bear discretionary dividends, do not contain any obligations to deliver cash or other financial assets and do not require settlement in a variable number of the Group’ s equity instruments. Discretionary dividends thereon are recognized as equity distributions on approval by the Company’s shareholders.

5) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

6) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

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

(Continued)

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(iii) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.

Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(i) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over their financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The consolidated financial statements include the Group’ s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Group recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual significant influence.

Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Group’s interests in the associate. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interests in an associate, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

(Continued)

19

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Corporation discontinues the use of the equity method and measures the retained interest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Corporation accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the associates had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss ( or retained earnings) on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Corporation reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) ( or retained earnings) when the equity method is discontinued. If the Corporation’s ownership interest in an associate is reduced while it continues to apply the equity method, the Corporation reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest to profit or loss.

When the Corporation subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Corporation’ s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Corporation records such a difference as an adjustment to investments, with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under capital surplus. If the capital surplus resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Corporation’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of the associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

(i) Joint Arrangements

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. The IFRS classifies joint arrangements into two types — joint operations and joint ventures, which have the following characteristics: (a) the parties are bound by a contractual arrangement; and (b) the contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” defines joint control as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (ie activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Group has joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) in which the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement , rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. The Group recognizes its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for that investment using the equity method in “ Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, unless the Group qualifies for exemption from that Standard.

When assessing the classification of a joint arrangement, the Group considers the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the terms in the contractual arrangement, and other facts and circumstances. When the facts and circumstances change, the Company reevaluates whether the classification of the joint arrangement has changed.

(j) Investment property

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition, and subsequently at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.

Rental income from investment property is recognized as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

  • (k) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

  • (iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • 1) Buildings: 15~21 years

  • 2) Machinery and equipment: 4~11 years

  • 3) Other equipment: 3~25 years

(Continued)

21

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (iv) Reclassification to investment property

A property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from owner-occupied to investment property.

(l) Leases

  • (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 customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

  • 3) the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:

  • the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or

  • the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

    • - the customer has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or

    • - the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be?used throughout the period of use.

(ii) As a leasee

The 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 any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

(Continued)

22

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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, including in-substance fixed payments;

  • - variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • - amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • - payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • - there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

  • - there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or

  • - there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a 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.

(Continued)

23

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group has selected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of other equipmants, leases of low value lease object and staff dormitory leases of variable object. 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.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The Group recognizes a finance lease receivable at an amount equal to its net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs, such as lessors to negotiate and arrange a lease, are included in the measurement of the net investment. The interest income is recognized over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other income’.

(m) Intangible assets

(i) Recognition and measurement

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets, including customer relationships, patents and trademarks, that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(Continued)

24

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(iii) Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are 1 to 15 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(n) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets, deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(o) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(p) Revenue recognition

  • (i) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Group’s main types of revenue are explained below.

1) Sale of goods

The Group engages in the manufacturing of solar cells and modules, as well as in the development and sales of solar plant. The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has been transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, and when the customer obtains control of the promised assets.

The Group provides a standard warranty for sale of goods and bears the obligation to refund defects, in which the Group recognizes a warranty liability provision for this obligation.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

2) Construction contracts

Customers provide construction contracts with specifications while the solar plants are still under construction. Because the customer controls the asset during the construction period, the Group recognizes revenue over time on the basis of the construction costs incurred to date as a proportion of the total estimated costs of the contract. The customer pays the fixed amount according to payment schedule. If the Group has recognized revenue, but not issued a bill, then the entitlement to consideration is recognized as a contract asset. The contract asset is transferred to receivables when the entitlement to payment becomes unconditional. For some variable considerations, accumulated experience is used to estimate the amount of variable consideration, using the expected value method.

If the Group cannot reasonably measure its progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation of a construction contract, the Group shall recognize revenue only to the extent of the costs expected to be recovered.

Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management.

  • 3)

Power electric revenue

The Group recognized its power electric revenue based on the actual electric units and electric rate.

(Continued)

26

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

4) Financing components

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(q) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

(ii) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(r) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the sharebased payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

(s) Income taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

The Group has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatment, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS37.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  • (i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;

(Continued)

27

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • (ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

  • (iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  • (i) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

  • 2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

(t) Earnings per share

The Group discloses the Group’ s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares.

(u) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

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

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the IFRSs 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 management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the following period.

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

  • (a) Judgment of whether the Group has substantive control over its investees

The Group are not controlling shareholder to the associates and it also cannot obtain more than half of the voting rights at board of directors and a shareholders’ meeting. Therefore, it is determined that the Group has significant influence on its associates.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows:

  • (a) Valuation of inventories-construction in progress

The Group evaluatde the completion progress of each power plant project and additional costs needed to be invested as of the reporting date and stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Due to market environment、 government policy and business strategy, there may be significantt changes in the net realizable value of inventories.

(b) Impairment of non-financial assets

In the process of evaluating the potential impairment of assets , the Group is required to make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows, useful lives, expected future income and expenses related to the specific asset groups considering of the nature of the industry. Any changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies could result in significant impairment losses or reversal in future years.

The Group’s accounting policies include measuring financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.The Group’ s financial instrument valuation group conducts independent verification on fair value by using data sources that are independent, reliable, and representative of exercise prices. This financial instrument valuation group also periodically adjusts valuation models, conducts back-testing, renews input data for valuation models, and makes all other necessary fair value adjustments to assure the rationality of fair value.

(Continued)

29

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group strives to use market observable inputs when measuring assets and liabilities. Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

  • (a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.

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

  • (c) Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.

For any transfer within the fair value hierarchy, the impact of the transfer is recognized on the reporting date. please refer to note 6(ac) for assumptions used in measuring fair value.

The Group failed to fulfill the procurement contract obligations with Supplier K. Therefore, Supplier K filed a lawsuit against the Group in the Hsin Chu District Court, requesting for the compensation of $500,000 thousand. On October 13, 2017, the Hsin Chu District Court ruled in favor of Supplier K, wherein the Group has to pay for the damages caused to Supplier K with interest. The Group disagreed with the decision made by the Hsin Chu District Court; therefore, filed an appeal to the Taiwan High Court. On January 27, 2021, Taiwan High Court ruled against the Group, in which the Group disagreed with this decision. Hence, the Group filed an appeal, wherein the case is still in progress. In order to protect the legal rights and interests of the Group, a lawyer has been appointed to settle the case. In addition, the Group has evaluated and recognized all the possible losses.

  • (ab) Financial Instruments

(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

The Group has a large customer base, and is diversified across different industries and geographical locations, not related to each other, therefore, the concentration of credit risk is not large.

3) Credit risk of receivables and debt securities

The Group’s financial assets at amortized cost, accounts receivable and other receivables are all with low risk on the reporting date. Therefore, the Group measures the allowance for impairment based on the 12 months expected credit loss. Please refer to note 6(d) and (e) for relevant credit risk information.

Note: The call option sold derives from the loan contract signed by the Group and IMPA (please refer to note 6(o) for more details). This financial liability is recognized at fair value (please refer to note 6(b)), and has been adjusted according to the real interest rate of the contract. The relevant cash flow also reflects the contractual cash flow of the bank loan, therefore it is not to be included in the cash flow from derivative financial instruments.

The Group does not expect the cash flows included in the maturity analysis to occur significantly earlier or at significantly different amounts.

The Group’s exposure to currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, and accounts and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. The weakening or strengthening of 1% on the above mentioned foreign currency against the New Taiwan Dollars would have decrease or increase the net profit (loss) before tax for the years ended 2020 and 2019 by $1,782 thousand and $4,326 thousand, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for the two periods.

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 years ended 2020 and 2019, foreign exchange gain (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions), please refer to note 6 (aa).

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 liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of liabilities outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the Group management’ s assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.

If the interest rate had increased / decreased by 0.25%, the Group’s net income would have decreased / increased by $18,983 thousand and $19,983 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 with all other variable factors remaining constant. This is mainly due to the exposure of the fair value interest rate risk of the Group’ s variable interest rate deposit and loans.

In addition, the Group’ s financial assets and liabilities with fixed interest rate are measured at amortized cost. The profit and loss of financial instruments are unaffected by fluctuations in interest rate on the reporting date, therefore, no sensitivity analysis has been disclosed.

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

3) Other market price risk

The Group’ s exposure to price risk on equity investments mainly arises from the investment of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. If the price of the securities fluctuates on the reporting date (the sensitivity analyses for the changes in the securities price at the reporting date were performed using the same basis for the profit and loss), the impact on the consolidated income items are as follow:

Prices of securities at the reporting date
Increasing 5%

  • b) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value

The Group’s valuation techniques and assumptions used for financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

  • i) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

If the quoted prices in active markets are available, the market price is established as the fair value. However, if quoted prices in active markets are not available, the estimated valuation or prices used by competitors are adopted.

  • ii) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

If there is quoted price generated by transactions, the recent transaction price and quoted price data is used as the basis for fair value measurement. However, if no quoted prices are available, the discounted cash flows are used to estimate fair values.

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • c) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

  • i) Non-derivative financial instruments

If the financial instruments have a quoted price in an active market, the fair value should be determined on that price. The price quoted in major exchanges and over-the-counter trading are all considered basis for fair value determination for listed equity 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. 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.

The financial instruments held by the Group are distinguished according to the evaluation sources used to determine its fair value as follows:

  • Financial instruments with an active market: including listed company stocks and fund beneficiary certificates, etc. The fair value of these instruments is determined by reference to their respective market quotes.

  • Financial instruments without active market: Fair value is based on valuation techniques or reference counterparty quotes. The fair value obtained through evaluation techniques can refer to the current fair value of other financial instruments with similar conditions and characteristics, discounted cash flow method or other evaluation techniques, including calculations based on market information available on the date of the consolidated balance sheet.

ii) 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; forward foreign exchange contracts are usually evaluated based on the current forward exchange rate, and the fair value of other types of derivative financial instruments are determined based on appropriate option pricing models (such as the BlackScholes model) or other evaluation methods.

  • e) 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 – derivative instruments” and “ fair value through other comprehensive income – equity investments”.

Most of the fair value classified as Level 3 are singular significant unobservable input value, except for equity investments without an active market, which has multiple significant unobservable input data. The significant unobservable input values of equity instruments without an active market are independent of each other, thus there are no correlation between them.
