Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.(“ the Company” ), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirement. 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 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:
- Revenue recognition
Please refer to note 4 (q) “ Revenue recognition” for accounting policy and note 6 (z) “ Revenue from contracts with customers” of the parent company only financial statements for further information.
Description of key audit matter:
The Company’s revenues are derived from the sales of solar modules 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, 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.
3-1
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.
- 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 parent company only financial statements for further information.
Description of key audit matter:
The Company belongs to a high capital expenditure industry, and its production capacity is essential for the industry development. However, in an environment where market demands and technology change rapidly, existing equipment may not be economically effective in the future due to product or technology upgrades. 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.
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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’ s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
3-2
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investments accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on these financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
3-3
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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 Yung-Hua Huang and Pao-Lian Chou.

(English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese) UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(1) Company history
United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd., formerly Neo Solar Power Corp., (the “Company”) 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 Company’ 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 Company merged with former Gintech Energy Corporation (“ Gintech” ) and Solartech Energy Corporation (“Solartech”), with the Company as the sole surviving company. On March 31, 2019, the Company merged with former General Energy Solutions Inc. (GES), with the Company as the surviving company and GES as the dissolved entity.
(2) Approval date and procedures of the financial statements
The parent company only financial statements were approved and released by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 13, 2023.
(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. which have already been adopted.
The Company has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its financial statements, from January 1, 2022:
-
-
-
●Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment Proceeds before Intended Use”
-
-
-
●Amendments to IAS 37 “Onerous Contracts Cost of Fulfilling a Contract”
-
●Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020
-
●Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”
-
(b) The impact of IFRS issued by the FSC but not yet effective
The Company assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2023, would not have a significant impact on its financial statements:
-
●Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”
-
●Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”
-
●Amendments to IAS 12 “ Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction”
(Continued)

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the 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 Company, 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 1 “Non- current Liabilities with Covenants” |
Content of amendment Effective date per IASB Under existing IAS 1 requirements, companies classify a liability as current when they do not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. The amendments has removed the requirement for a right to be unconditional and instead now requires that a right to defer settlement must exist at the reporting date and have substance. The amendments clarify how a company classifies a liability that can be settled in its own shares – e.g. convertible debt. January 1, 2024 After reconsidering certain aspects of the 2020 amendments1, new IAS 1 amendments clarify that only covenants with which a company must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. Covenants with which the company must comply after the reporting date (i.e. future covenants) do not affect a liability’ s classification at that date. However, when non-current liabilities are subject to future covenants, companies will now need to disclose information to help users understand the risk that those liabilities could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting date. January 1, 2024 |
|---|---|
The Company is evaluating the impact of its initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations on its consolidated financial position and financial performance. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Company completes its evaluation.

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
The Company 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 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”
-
●IFRS16 “Requirements for Sale and Leaseback Transactions”
(4) Summary of significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies presented in the parent company only financial statements are summarized as follows. The following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the parent company only financial statements.
(a) Statement of compliance
The standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
-
(b) Basis of preparation
-
(i) Basis of measurement
Except for the following significant accounts, the 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 Company entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The parent company only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar (NTD), which is the Company’ s functional currency. All financial information presented in NTD has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(c) 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.
(Continued)
11
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated 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 Company 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 Company 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.
(d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.
-
(i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;
-
(ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
(iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
(iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.
An entity shall classify a liability as current when:
-
(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
(Continued)
12
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
- (iv) The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(e) 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 short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.
(f) 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 Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
(i) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
- 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)
13
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
- 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’ s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established (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 Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
- 4) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivables, other receivable, leases receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets).
The Company 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.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forwardlooking information.
(Continued)
14
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
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).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
5) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
1) Classification of debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
(Continued)
15
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
2) Equity instrument
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.
3) 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) Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible bonds denominated in NTD that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value.
The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognized at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognized at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component.
Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss. On conversion at maturity, the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognized.
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.
(Continued)
16
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
6) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
- (iii) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Company 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.
(g) 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.
- (h) Non-current assets held for sale
Non current assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are highly probable to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are reclassified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. Thereafter, generally, the assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to assets not within the scope of IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets. Such assets will continue to be measured in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. Impairment losses on assets initially classified as held for sale and any subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized.
Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated, and any equity accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.
(Continued)
17
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
(i) Investment in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over their financial and operating policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.
The parent company only financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Company recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual significant influence.
Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Company’s interests in the associate. When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interests in an associate, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Company discontinues the use of the equity method and measures the retained interest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Company accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the associates had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss (or retained earnings) on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Company reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) (or retained earnings) when the equity method is discontinued. If the Company’ s ownership interest in an associate is reduced while it continues to apply the equity method, the Company reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest to profit or loss.
If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the Company continues to apply the equity method without remeasuring the retained interest.
(Continued)
18
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
When the Company subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments, with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under capital surplus. If the capital surplus resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of the associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
(j) Investment in subsidiaries
When preparing the parent company only financial statements, investment in subsidiaries which are controlled by the Company is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary as well as the distribution received. The Company also recognized its share in the changes in the equity of subsidiaries. In subsidiaries which are controlled by the Company is accounted for preparing the consolidated statement by each period.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control of a subsidiary are equity transactions with owners.
(k) 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.
(l) 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.
(Continued)
19
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
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 Company.
- (iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:
-
1) Buildings: 15~21 years
-
2) Machinery and equipment: 4~11 years
-
3) Other equipment: 3~20 years
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.
(m) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
- (i) As a leasee
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
(Continued)
20
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the 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 Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
-
- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
-
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
-
- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
-
- payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
-
-
-
there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or
-
- there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or
-
- there is a change 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 Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.
The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
The Company has selected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for shortterm leases of other equipment and leases of low value lease object. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(ii) As a leasor
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
When the Company 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 Company 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 Company applies IFRS15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.
(n) 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 Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Amortization
Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are 1~4 years.
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
(o) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company 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.
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.
(p) Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company 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.
(i) Warranties
A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
(ii) Onerous contracts
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
(iii) Site restoration
The Company makes provision for its site restoration due to the recovery cost of its power station modules estimated in accordance with Regulations Governing the Installation of Renewable Energy Power Generation Equipment by Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, wherein the amount is calculated based on the scale of the power station, and the provision is recognized based on the present value of the expected costs for the site restoration.

UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
(q) Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company’s main types of revenue are explained below:
(i) Sale of goods
The Company engages in the manufacturing of solar cells and modules as well as in the development and sale of solar plant. The Company 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 Company provides a standard warranty for sale of goods and bears the obligation to refund defects, in which the Company 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 Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.
(ii) 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company cannot reasonably measure its progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation of a construction contract, the Company 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.
- (iii) Power electric revenue
The Company recognized its power electric revenue based on the actual electric units and electric rate.
(Continued)
24
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
(iv) Financing components
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
(r) 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.
(s) 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 share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(t) Income taxes
Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
(Continued)
25
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:
-
(i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;
-
(ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
(iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred 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.
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 Company 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.
(u) Earnings per share
The Company discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, such as employee compensation.

(v) Operating segments
The Company discloses the operating segment information in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the company does not disclose the operating segment information in the parent company only financial statements.
(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty
The management, when preparing the standalone financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, must make judgments, estimates and assumptions which will affect the adopted accounting policies and the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts. The actual results could differ from those estimates.
The management continues to review the estimates and underlying assumptions, and changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period in the period of change and affected future period.
Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the parent company only financial statements is as follows:
-
(a) For the judgment regarding significant influence of investees, please refer to the 2022 consolidated financial statements.
-
(b) Judgment of whether the Company has substantive control over its investees:
The Company is not a controlling shareholder to the associates and it also cannot obtain more than half of the voting rights at board of directors or a shareholders’ meeting. Therefore, it is determined that the Company only 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) Impairment assessment of non-financial asset
In the process of evaluating the potential impairment of assets, the Company is required to make subjective judgments in determining the stand-alone 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 Company’ s accounting policies and disclosure has adopted the fair value to measure its financial, non-financial assets and liabilities. The company has established relevant internal control systems for fair value measurement, including assigning personnel to review significant fair value measurements (including third-level fair value), and regularly review significant unobservable input values and adjustments.
The Company 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:
(Continued)
27
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
-
(a) Level I: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.
-
(b) Level II: 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 III: 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.

(aa) Employee compensation and directors’ remuneration
According to the Articles of Incorporation, once the Company has annual profit, it should appropriate no less than 3% of the profit to its employees and 2% or less to its directors and supervisors as remuneration. However, if the Company has accumulated deficits, the profit should be reserved to offset the deficit.
The recipients of above-mentioned remuneration may include employees of controlling or affiliated companies who meet certain conditions, and the relevant conditions and methods are authorized by the Board of Directors or by persons authorized by them.
The remunerations to employees and directors amounted to $39,857 thousand and $3,986 thousand, respectively, in 2022. The estimated amounts mentioned above are calculated based on the net profit before tax excluding the remunerations to employees and directors of each period, multiplied by the percentage of remunerations to employees and directors as specified in the Company’ s articles. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or expenses for each period. If there are any subsequent adjustments to the actual remuneration amounts after the annual shareholder’ meeting, the adjustment will be regarded as changes in accounting estimates and will be reflected in profit or loss in the following year. Shares distributed to employees as employee’ remuneration are calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on the day before the approval by the Board of Directors. Due to net loss before tax for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company didn’t estimate its employee compensation and directors’ remuneration. Related information would be available at the Market Observation Post System website.

The Company’ 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 decreased or increased and increased or decreased the net profit (loss) before tax for the years ended 2022 and 2021 by $14,683 thousand and $13,993 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 Company 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 2022 and 2021, foreign exchange gain (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions), please refer to note 6(ab).
2) Interest rate risk
Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities.
(Continued)
52
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
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 Company management’s assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.
If the interest rate had increased / decreased by 0.25%, the Company’s net income would have decreased / increased by $87 thousand and increased / decreased by $3,113 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 with all other variable factors remaining constant. This is mainly due to the exposure of the fair value interest rate risk of the Company’s variable interest rate deposit and loans.
In addition, the Company’ 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.
3) Other market price risk
The Company’ 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:

b) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value
The Company’ 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.
(Continued)
55
UNITED RENEWABLE ENERGY CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
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.
-
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 Company 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 are determined by reference to theirs 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.

However, EZ bank, the mortgagee of DU’s equipment, had objections to the settlement, and requested the Company to pay damage to DU claim that the creditor’s rights of DU and DU’s right to claim damages against the Company are legally offset, so EZ bank’s request has no basis. In this case, on July 1,2021, the court judged that the Company should pay EZ bank $159,335 thousand.
