1. Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

External Environment

In 2020, the coronavirus spread across the globe, and wreaked havoc on both supply and demand sides of shipping. Before the scope of the pandemic became clear, governments imposed traffic restrictions in an attempt to keep the virus at bay. Most trading and shipping company owners opted to wait and see, while the demand for dry bulk shipping sustained a greater impact. Therefore, the dry bulk shipping market stagnated in the first half year, which in turn affected chartering and ship purchases and sales. However, a shrinking global economy and low oil prices made it easier to switch relatively smoothly to low sulphur fuels.

In the second half year, the countries became able to counter more effectively the effects of the pandemic on economic activities. Previously suspended investing and manufacturing activities started to resume. Therefore, the dry bulk shipping market started recovering in the second half year, especially in time charters and freight futures. The overall Baltic Dry Index (BDI) has not returned to the level in 2019. However, a steadily recovering market sends a positive signal to dry bulk shipping companies. The rising demand for container transportation in the fourth quarter can be considered a sign of economic activities recovering from the shock of the pandemic. Meanwhile, more ship purchases and sales were showing up in the market.

While the dry bulk shipping market had started recovering in the second half of 2020, newbuilding investment remained relatively low. The total number of newbuilding orders was below the level in 2019 for all types of ships. Given the pressure to replace old ships aged 20 years or more, the possibility of a supply shortage remains in the dry bulk shipping market. Moreover, the United Nations is not putting any hold on shipping related environmental regulations because of the pandemic. Carbon reduction requirements may raise the operating costs for old ships even higher in the next three to five years. Therefore, supply and demand of dry bulk shipping will continue to provide basic support for freight in the medium term.

2020 Business Results

In 2020, we had 8 newbuild ships and 1 fewer ship under management. The number of ships in our fleet underwent a net increase of 7, and the total number of ships in our fleet was 136 at the end of the year.

We had intended to take advantage of the supply-demand mismatch to increase profits in 2020. Therefore, the number of ships with contract renewal and index linked rent was higher in the first quarter compared to previous years. However, COVID-19 created unanticipated volatility in the market. Having sustained larger market volatility, neither of our revenue and profit performed well in the first half year. Fortunately, the average gross profit margin on newbuilding stayed close to 40%, which was a significant contribution to the overall profit margin. The economy started to recover in the second half year, and we adopted more conservative business strategies. As a result, profits showed slight increases, and the gross profit margin rose from 7.64% in the first half year to 19.07% in the second half year. The gross profit margin was 13.88% for the year. The total revenue was US$405.1 million, 9.47% lower compared to the previous year.

Letter to Shareholders

In terms of nonoperating income, we had little nonoperating income in 2020. However, the interest expenses fell by US$16.1 million compared to the previous year, and the foreign exchange loss was recognized at US$8.3 million due to appreciation of the Japanese yen. The net operating profit was US$51 million for the year, and the net income after tax was US$4 million.

Furthermore, to counter the uncertainties created by the coronavirus and the cash flow pressure created by suspension of asset disposal, we were fortunate to have the support of several major banks with whom we had a business relationship and been granted suspension of repayments, change of interest rates, and cash issues in mid-year. These measures were intended to strengthen our financial stability amid market changes.

2021 Business Plan

We expect to have 7 more newbuild ships delivered in 2021. They include 2 kamsarmax, 1 supramax, 3 handysize, and 1 liquefied petroleum gas ship. All are built by first class Japanese builders, such as Imabari, JMU, Namura, Tsuneishi, Onomichi, and Murahide. These newbuild ships include 3 environmentally friendly vessels that comply with the Tier III NOx emission standards.

Given the market is on track for a steady recovery, a reasonable profit margin is still ensured for most time charters. We will continue to seek opportunities in working with long-term customers gradually in newbuild ships and contract renewal. The goal is to increase profits steadily as the market recovers. In addition, we will lock in index linked rents at appropriate timing to ensure stable cash flows.

Furthermore, the ship disposal plans suspended due to the pandemic in 2020 can be expected to resume in 2021 in order to increase efficiency for the entire fleet and keep improving our financial structure. Meanwhile, we will follow changes in the laws and regulations closely in order to re-evaluate our capital expenditure plans and ensure we have an environmentally friendly and energy saving fleet that is healthy and competitive.

Other important information:

  1. The primary responsibility of the Audit Committee is to assist the board of directors in performing its duty to oversee the accounting, audit, and financial reporting processes in the Company and the quality of financial management.

Matters to be reviewed by the Audit Committee include:

  • Fair presentation of financial statements

  • Effective enforcement of internal control

  • Adequacy of accounting policies

  • Management of existing or potential risks

  • Material asset or derivative transactions

  • Material loans, endorsements, or guarantees

  • Appointment and removal of financial, accounting, or internal audit officers

  • Selection/Change of certificated public accountants and their independence and performance

  • Performance of Audit Committee's responsibilities

  • Audit Committee Performance Self-assessment Questionnaire

  • Securities offerings or issues

  • Compliance with relevant laws and regulations

Review of financial reports:

The board of directors prepared the 2020 business report, financial statements, and earnings distribution plan. In particular, Ernst & Young Taiwan has audited the 2020 financial statements, and issued an audit report. The reports above have been reviewed by the Audit Committee as correctly portraying the Company's business activities.

Assessment of validity of the internal control system:

The Audit Committee evaluates the validity of the Company's policies and procedures regarding the internal control system (including finance, operations, risk management, information security, outsourcing, compliance and other control measures), and reviews the Company's audit department and certifying CPA as well as regular reports from the management, covering both risk management and compliance. Appointment of certifying CPA:

The Audit Committee is tasked with monitoring the independence of the certifying CPA firm for the purpose of ensuring impartiality in financial statements. In general, apart from tax related services or specially approved business activities, the certifying CPA firm is not allowed to provide any other service to the Company. All services provided by the certifying CPA firm must have the Audit Committee's prior approval. To ensure independence of the CPA firm, the Audit Committee has followed Article 47 of the Certified Public Accountant Act and the rules regarding integrity, impartiality, and independence in No. 10 Bulletin of Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and devised an independence evaluation form. The form is intended to assess the independence, professional training, and competence of CPAs and whether they are related parties to or share business or financial interest with the Company.

The internal audit officer presents to the independent directors an audit report and a list of errors and improvements after the monthly audit procedure is completed. The internal audit officer also attends board meetings to report on the status of the operation.

The accountant audits and sends the financial statements and related reports to the independent directors for review. The accountant attended the meeting on February 26, 2020, and discussed key audit items in the 2020 financial statements with the independent directors.

5.1.1.3 Services

Wisdom Marine is a dry bulk shipping company that operates each ship as a subsidiary. There were a total of 136 vessels in the fleet at the end of 2020. 123 vessels were owned and 13 were chartered-in, under management, or under joint venture. The fleet consists of bulk carriers, log carriers, tween-decks, multipurpose vessels, RORO ships, and container ships of various sizes from Handysize to Capesize. In particular, Handysize vessels with their operational flexibility and relatively stable freight rates are the backbone of our business.

The scope of business for the Group includes short-term and long-term ship chartering, ship management, and occasionally ship purchases and sales. The Company offers primarily wet lease contracts, which include complete crew, maintenance, and insurance. The Company provides not only financial arrangements, but also strong professional management to work closely with customers and reduce operating costs. At the end of 2020, there were 81 ships on long-term time charter, 39 self-operated, and 6 under management or other arrangements.

5.1.1.4 New Services Under Development

The Company continues to replace old vessels in the fleet with Japanese-built Eco ships. It allows the Company to comply with the environmental requirements while reducing fuel expenditures in the operating cost for charterers and making the fleet more competitive. In the early years, Wisdom Marine built its business on

Business Overview

Handysize vessels that offered operational flexibility and relatively stable freight rates. In recent years, the Company has been adding Supramax and Panamax vessels to the fleet in order to create a sufficiently diverse fleet to counter the impact of market volatility and to provide a wider range of services.

5.1.2 Industry Overview

5.1.2.1 Current Trends and Outlook

Maritime transport remains the most economical shipping method today. There are approximately 12,300 dry bulk carriers over 10,000 DWT around the world. In 2020, ships carried 12.2 billion tons of commodities or goods. In particular, dry bulk carriers carried 5.4 billion tons of the commodities, including minerals, coal, grains, timber, steel, cement, sugar, cotton, fertilizers, and mechanical parts.

Dry bulk carriers can be categorized by carrying capacity into Capesize, Panamax, Supramax, and Handysize. The average shipping rates in each category are based on four indices, BCI, BPI, BSI and BHSI. The indices are calculated for various ship sizes as an weighted average of shipping rates on several typical routes. The Baltic Exchange weights the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) to the following ratio: 40% BCI, 30% BPI, and 30% BSI. BDI mirrors supply and demand for dry bulk shipping in the spot market, and reflects the global outlook on dry bulk shipping.

BHSI, in general, is less representative of the market as a whole. Small ships can carry many types of cargo, and some types of cargo may have to be accommodated by certain ship specifications. As a result, shipping rates can vary greatly between vessels.

The combination of a global economic slowdown and excess dry bulk shipping capacity pushed BDI to a historic low at 290 in February 2016. As supply and demand adjusted themselves, BDI started bouncing back slowly in 2017. The dry bulk shipping market remained stable in 2018. The decline in newbuilding investment led to the recovery of balance in dry bulk shipping capacity, where supply had exceeded demand for years. The Brumadinho dam disaster and the US-China trade dispute caused shipping companies to take a more cautious stance toward newbuilding and long-term leasing agreements in the first quarter of 2019. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic made many countries implement restrictions that had a huge impact on both supply and demand sides of shipping. The shock waves also spread to dry bulk shipping. As economic activities began to resume in the second half of 2020, the dry bulk shipping market also started recovering. The overall Baltic Dry Index (BDI) has not returned to the level in 2019. However, a steadily recovering market sends a positive signal to dry bulk shipping companies.

Given a growing world population and the demand for goods and raw materials in emerging economies, ships

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

Business Overview 85

remain the most energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical shipping method. Hence, from a long-term perspective, industry restructuring triggered by the business cycle can actually be an opportunity for the maritime transport industry to reshape itself.

5.1.2.2 Supply Chain Relationships

There is an absence of clear supply chain relationships in the bulk shipping business as the demand for commodities can come from all sectors of the economy and bulk shipping, by nature, does not involve production of goods or supply of raw materials.

5.1.2.3 Trends and Competition

Demand in the maritime transport market comes from demands in different industries. It is, therefore, rare to see a changing outlook on a single industry to cause dramatic short-term volatility in the market. Instead, volatility in the maritime transport market is often associated with systemic changes in demand due to changes in global macroeconomic conditions. Moreover, self-adjustment of the supply of ships is one of the key factors in the business cycle of the maritime transport market.

Since the shipping services provided by maritime transport companies do not involve production, there is no inventory pressure or pressure to convert inventory to cash flows. Charter hire on time charters (long-term leases) is collected in advance, and freight on voyage charters (self-operated) is collected in a few days after loading completed. Cash flow management is relatively simple in the business. It is, therefore, rare for a wellmanaged shipping company to have liquidity issues. Funding pressure faced by shipping companies often arise from newbuildings. Ship purchases often require installments be paid prior to delivery and before ships begin to operate. Hence, cash has to be considered carefully in an expansion plan to avoid default due to insufficient fund.

Maritime transport can be divided by shipping type into container, dry bulk, and tanker, whereas routes can be divided by distance into ocean routes and coastal routes. The scope of business includes operator, shipowner, ship management, and crewing management. Business activities of a shipping company vary from one shipping company to the next around the world. In fact, bulk shipping is a highly competitive international industry. In terms of the total number and total capacity of dry bulk carriers worldwide, individual shipping companies in Taiwan and in other countries occupy only very small percentages. In addition, since cargo space cannot be stored, the capacity of a shipping company is decided by its ability in solicitation of cargo and assignment of ships.

The Group has a competitive advantage in its fleet and partners. The risk of supply and demand change for each ship type is reduced by a diversified fleet. The young fleet provides consistent, efficient services. Working with some of the best international shipping companies and fixing long-term contracts provide Wisdom Marine a steady income. Furthermore, a reasonable exposure in the spot market enables the Company to grasp the trends of market volatility.

5.1.4 Long- and Short-Term Business Development Strategies and Plans

5.1.4.1 Short-Term Business Development Strategy and Plan

Given changes in the market and different customer needs, the Company's newbuilding plan includes Handysizes that are the backbone of the fleet, 60,000 DWT Supramax and 80,000 DWT Panamax. The Newbuildings are mainly Japanese-built Eco ships that comply with the environmental conventions and support the goal of green transportation. The reduced fuel consumption also makes the fleet more competitive. As a result, the Company is in a better position to attract charterers and create a win-win situation.

5.1.4.2 Long-Term Business Development Strategy and Plan

In the long term, the Company will continue to replace old ships and maintain a young, energy efficient fleet that delivers quality service. The Company will also strengthen its financial structure with steady profits, and expand its customer base. The mission is to build a top shipping group and maximize the value of the Company through sustainable development.

5.2.1 Market analysis

5.2.1.1 Regions of Service

Most of the Group's long-term charterers are Japanese and European charterers with worldwide routes. Meanwhile, the self-operated ships in the spot market trade in Southeast Asia, India, China, and the Middle East, and being extended into Africa and Southeast America.

5.2.1.2 Market Share

Business activities of a shipping company vary from one shipping company to the next around the world. In fact, bulk shipping is a highly competitive international industry. There were a total of 12,300 dry bulk carriers over 10,000 DWT offering a total capacity up to 910 million tons at the end of 2020. The Group's 136 ships and a total capacity of 6.6 million tons at the end of 2020 occupied only very small percentages of the world fleet and so as any individual shipping companies in Taiwan and in other countries. In addition, since cargo space cannot be stored, the capacity of a shipping company is decided by its ability in solicitation of cargo and assignment of ships. Hence, the nature of the dry bulk shipping business makes it difficult to calculate market shares for individual shipping companies.

Business Overview

5.2.1.3 Future Market Supply and Demand and Growth Potential

Unfavorable conditions in the dry bulk market persisted in 2016 and 2017. As a result, shipowners were relatively less equipped and less willing to order newbuildings. The number of newbuilding orders was visibly lower than the two preceding years. The dry bulk shipping market remained stable in 2018. However, increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the cost of funds continued to dampen shipowners' willingness to invest. The Brumadinho dam disaster and the US-China trade dispute made many shipowners more cautious toward newbuilding in 2019. In 2020, the pandemic also sent shock waves through the dry bulk shipping market. Despite recovery in the second half of the year, newbuilding investment remained relatively low. The total number of newbuilding orders was below the level in 2019 for all types of ships. Given the pressure to replace old ships aged 20 years or more, the possibility of a supply shortage remains in the dry bulk shipping market. Moreover, the United Nations is not putting any hold on shipping related environmental regulations because of the pandemic. Carbon reduction requirements may raise the operating costs for old ships even higher in the next three to five years. Therefore, supply and demand of dry bulk shipping will continue to provide basic support for freight in the medium term.

5.2.1.4 Competitive Niches

A professional management team:

As shipping routes often connect different countries, business decisions have to be made accurately and quickly to reflect cultural, economic, and political differences across regions. The management team of the Group consists of experts of maritime transport whose know-how and years of experience enable them to accurately interpret market developments in order to ensure success and stay ahead in business planning.

  • Long term relationships with business partners:

The Company’s charterers are first class shipping companies with whom the Group works closely on a longterm basis. When market conditions turn favorable and shipping rates rise sharply, Wisdom Marine charters ships at below-market rates to long-term business partners. Thus when the market turns sour, major charterers are willing to continue to support the Group and work together in fluctuations. This is the best business model to benefit both sides.

A young, diverse dry bulk fleet:

Given changes in the market and different client needs, the Group has been working to build a larger and more diverse fleet for several years. Old ships are replaced by new ones in an ongoing effort to improve efficiency and stability while reducing the impact of rate changes in any single market.

- Operational flexibility afforded by self operated ships:

As a strategy, the Group holds a number of self-operated ships in the fleet to keep itself alert to developments in the market. These ships provide the flexibility for the Group to allocate ships in response to market volatility.

Business Overview

5.2.1.5 Long-term Outlook

Favorable factors

A young, diverse dry bulk fleet:

The Group has achieved economies of scale in a fleet consisting of a wide range of large, medium, and small vessels. The young, well equipped, and energy efficient vessels are able to meet customer expectations and provide a relatively steady income under market fluctuations.

Excellent ship quality:

When expanding its fleet, the Group tends to choose established Japanese shipbuilding companies with an excellent reputation and shipbuilding expertise in order to ensure quality of the final products. Moreover, the Group's long-term relationships with the shipbuilders establish trust between the companies, and make the shipbuilders more willing to offer the Group better terms in sales. Should any plan for disposal be made in the future, compared to similar models made by Chinese, South Korean, or Vietnamese shipbuilders, Japanese-built vessels would be more popular with buyers and more likely to receive a larger gain on disposal.

Unfavorable factors and countermeasures

Recruitment difficult and seafarers less trained:

An increasing number of vessels in the last few years have led to a rising demand for seafarers. It has also led to challenges in recruitment and less trained seafarers, all of which create higher operating costs and risks.

→Countermeasures:

In-house training - The Company started working with National Taiwan Ocean University in 2010. A number of deck and engine internships are offered every year, and interns are trained and encouraged to pursue key positions in the fleet.

More retaining seafarers - As the fleet expands, crewing agencies have started training contract seafarers to be stationed specifically in the Wisdom fleet. The Company asks crewing agencies to retain seafarers with good performance.

Enforcement of pre-boarding orientation - The Company requires crewing agencies gather seafarers before boarding to complete training in order to familiarize them with the Company's policies and raise safety awareness. In addition, the Company raises awareness by including the fleet's accidents in case study materials to keep seafarers vigilant.

Performance evaluation - The Company keeps records of seafarers sent by crewing agencies and the performance and number of accidents associated with these seafarers for annual performance evaluation. The results are examined in order to decide whether to place more ships under certain crewing agencies.

Humanized management - The Company takes humanized management. We listen to the needs of our seafarers and solve their problems promptly.

Business Overview

5.2.2 Application and production of key products

The Group is in the dry bulk shipping business and does not manufacture any goods or perform any production process.

5.2.3 Supply status of primary raw materials

The Group provides shipping services, and therefore does not purchase any raw materials for production. There are only the costs of fuels and lubricants for ships, which account for a relatively large percentage of the annual operating costs. Depending on the length of voyage, route, weather conditions, and level of inventory, the Group obtains quotations on fuel prices at different bunkering ports, and makes purchases through brokers or directly from suppliers in order to diversify sources and reduce costs.

5.2.4 List of Key Customers

5.2.4.1 Key Suppliers in Last Two Years

The Company provides shipping services, and therefore does not purchase any raw materials for production. There are only the costs of fuels and lubricants for ships, which account for a relatively large percentage of the annual operating costs. Given suitable lubricant specification may vary from ship to ship, the Company works with four to five international lubricant suppliers on a long-term basis. The Company usually asks for quotes and negotiates with the suppliers before selecting a supplier offering the right specifications at an acceptable price and discounts are often offered on large and repeated purchases. In 2019 and 2020, by diversification, the purchase amount of each suppliers is less than 10% of total purchases. Meanwhile, factors to be considered in fuel purchases include the length of voyage, route, weather conditions, and level of inventory as well as fuel prices and suppliers at different bunkering ports. Source diversification and reduced costs are achieved in the process.

5.2.5 Output in Last Two Years

Not applicable as the Group operates a dry bulk shipping business and does not manufacture any goods.

5.2.6 Sales in Last Two Years

The Group operates a dry bulk shipping business and does not generate sales. Instead, operating income is provided for the last two years.

In 2018, the dry bulk shipping industry rebounded from two disappointing years. In 2019, the spillover effects of the Brumadinho dam disaster and the US-China trade dispute made many shipowners more cautious toward newbuilding and long-term leasing agreements. The Company had intended to take advantage of the supplydemand mismatch to increase profits in 2020. Therefore, the number of ships with contract renewal and index linked rent was higher in the first quarter compared to previous years. However, COVID-19 created unanticipated volatility in the market. Having sustained larger market volatility, neither revenue or profit performed well in the first half year. The economy started to recover in the second half year, and the Company adopted more conservative business strategies. As a result, profits showed slight increases, and the gross profit margin rose from 7.64% in the first half year to 19.13% in the second half year. The gross profit margin was 13.92% for the year. The total revenue was US$405.1 million, 9.47% lower compared to the previous year.

7.3.2.1 Analysis of Cash Flow Changes in the Coming Year

 Expected net cash flow from operating activities: The dry bulk shipping market is expected to start to recover in the coming year. Revenue from the fleet business can be expected to rise steadily, which can

Financial Conditions, Business Results and Risk Analysis

lead to a higher cash flow from operating activities.

  • Expected net cash flow from investing activities: Given the Group's business plan for the coming year, the number of newbuildings is expected to fall slightly compared to the previous year, which can lead to a slightly lower net cash outflow from investing activities.

  • Expected net cash flow from financing activities: The number of newbuildings is expected to fall slightly in the coming year. Hence, the net cash flow from financing activities is expected to be lower than the previous year.

The Company has paid a total of US$46,061,000 into the shipbuilding contracts above as at December 31, 2020. The remaining payments will be made at keel installation, launching, and delivery. Financing arrangements for a total of US$28,750,000 of the shipbuilding contracts above have been completed as at December 31, 2020. The Company expects to pay off in installments before July 2022.

 Anticipated benefit

The Group expands the fleet to meet changes in the market and different customer needs. Choosing Japanesebuilt high specification environmentally friendly and energy efficient newbuildings makes it easier to attract the best clients and increase revenue and profits. The Group is thus able to develop more stable funding and more flexible utilization of funds in the long term and make itself more competitive in the process.

7.5 Investment Policy in Last Year, Profit/Loss Analysis, Improvement Plan, and Investment Plan for the Coming Year

To meet operation requirements, the Group manages each ship as an independent company through subsidiaries. Wisdom Marine Lines has direct control of the subsidiaries and makes business plans in the interest of the Group as a whole. There has not been any non-business related investment.

However, as the group’s business continues to grow, the board of directors of the Group passed a resolution for investment on January 29, 2016. The investment plan proposed finding an easily accessible location in Taipei for a headquarters to be built and acquiring 40% share o Pescadores Investment and Development Inc. The Company had later acquired land for an office building on Dunhua South Road in Taipei. The urban renewal project has been approved, and the building permit is pending. With asset valuation returning to

Financial Conditions, Business Results and Risk Analysis 112

previous levels, the Company recognized a profit of US$4.01 million in the 2020 consolidated financial statements using the equity method. The amount was less than 0.5% of the Group's total investment. The investment is, therefore, expected to have minimal impact on the Company in the future.

7.6 Risk Assessment for Last Year Up To the Publication Date of this Report

7.6.1 Impact of Interest Rate and Exchange Rate Changes and Inflation on the Company's Profit and Response Measures

 Interest rate changes

The nature of its business means the Group has a great need for funds. As a result, it carries a relatively large amount of loans. Interest expense was 13.13% and 10.53% of the revenue in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Furthermore, the Group does not carry any fixed rate liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Hence, any interest rate change on the closing date is not likely to have any material impact on profits and losses. An interest rate risk sensitivity analysis is included under Note 12.3 in the 2020 financial statements. The Group has accounts with financially sound and well managed banks in Taiwan, Japan, and Europe. The Group evaluates interest rates charged by different banks before deciding on suitable terms. Moreover, the Group, being a well managed company in good credit standing, has stronger bargaining power over banks and benefits from lower financing costs.

 Exchange rate changes

The operating revenue and operating costs of the Group are mostly denominated in U.S. dollars. Exchange rate changes have little impact on the operating revenue from core businesses. Exposure to exchange rate risk exists in foreign currency loans for ships and rises mainly from exchange rate volatility in the Japanese yen. If the U.S. dollar rises/falls by 10% against the Japanese yen (i.e. when the U.S. dollar appreciates/depreciates), the Group's profit and loss in 2020 will increase/decrease by US$7,000,984, and its equity will increase/decrease by US$0. The Group finances ships in installments for a period of eight to ten years. Exchange rate risk is spread across the years in the financing period. In addition, most financing agreements contain a "loan currency conversion" clause for which the Company may apply as needed to counter exchange rate changes.

 Inflation

The Group has not sustained any material impact on profit and loss from inflation. If operating costs rise due to inflation, the Group may adjust prices when signing contracts.

7.6.2 Policy Regarding High-risk, High-Leverage Investments, Loans to Others, Endorsements, Guarantees, and Derivatives, Reasons for Profit or Loss, and Response Measures

 High-risk, high-leveraged investments

The Group focuses on its core businesses and has not ventured into any high risk business in other industries. It aims for stability when devising financial policies and does not make high-leverage investments. Therefore,

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

113

Financial Conditions, Business Results and Risk Analysis

risk exposure is limited.

 Loans to others

Except for borrowings between subsidiaries of the Group, no loans to others were made in last year up to the publication date of this report. In addition, all borrowings between subsidiaries of the Group were approved by the board of directors of the Company and complied with the applicable regulations, and had no impact on profits or losses on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

 Endorsements and guarantees

Except for endorsements and guarantees between subsidiaries of the Group, no endorsements and guarantees were made in last year up to the publication date of this report. In addition, all endorsements and guarantees between subsidiaries of the Group were approved by the board of directors of the Company and complied with the applicable regulations, and had no impact on profits or losses on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

 Derivatives trading

The Group trade derivatives to avoid the exchange rate risk in foreign currency payments. The trading procedures follow the Procedures for the Acquisition or Disposal of Assets and are evaluated regularly as required. Exchange rates in derivatives contracts are provided in advance, and are, therefore, unlikely to cause any material cash flow risk. Moreover, all counterparties are banks with good credit ratings. The chance of encountering credit risk is extremely low.

7.6.3 Future R&D Programs and Expected R&D Investment

Not applicable as the Company operates mainly in the ship management and provides maritime transportation services, but not involved in shipbuilding activities.

7.6.4 Impact of Key Domestic or International Policy or Industry Changes on the Company's Finance and Sales and Response Measures

The Company is registered in the Cayman Islands, while the business entity Wisdom Marine Lines S.A. is incorporated in Panama. Most economic activities in the Cayman Islands take place in the financial services industry. Panama is the world's leading country in the size of ship registry with an open economy and no foreign exchange controls. Political and economic conditions are stable in both countries. As at the publication date of this report, the Company has not learned of any key policy or regulatory changes in the Cayman Islands or in Panama that would have a material impact on the Company's finance or sales.

The Group operates a network of routes that spreads across the world. Contracts and lawsuits may involve the laws of different countries or take place in different countries as cases vary. While the Group has purchased the appropriate insurance policies, it is impossible to guarantee that financial losses and business risks can always be avoided. Hence, the Group's management team requires that employees have a clear understanding of the risks in international operations and an excellent command of foreign languages so to ensure an accurate and timely decision making process in risk management and in crisis management.

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

114

Financial Conditions, Business Results and Risk Analysis

7.6.5 Impact of Technological and Industry Developments on the Company's Finance and Sales and Response Measures

Not applicable as the Group offers shipping services and is not involved in any manufacturing or production activities. Since shipping remains the most economical transportation method at present, it is foreseeable that technological developments should have no material impact on the Company's finance or sales.

7.6.6 Impact of Corporate Image Change on Crisis Management and Response Measures

Not applicable as the Group places great emphasis on corporate governance and there has not been any significant change in its corporate image in last year up to the publication date of this report.

7.6.7 Anticipated Benefits and Possible Risks Associated with Mergers and Acquisitions, and Countermeasures

Not applicable as the Group has not had plans to acquire other companies outside the Group in last year up to the publication date of this report.

7.6.8 Expected Benefits and Potential Risks of Factory Expansion and Response Measures

Not applicable as the Group has not had plans for factory expansion in last year up to the publication date of this report.

7.6.9 Concentration Risk in Procurement or Sales and Response Measures

 Procurement

For the Group, only the costs of fuels and lubricants for ships occupy a relatively large percentage of the annual operating costs. Given lubricant requirements may vary from vessel to vessel, the Company works with four to five international lubricant suppliers on a long-term basis. The Company usually asks for quotes and negotiates with the suppliers before selecting a supplier offering the right specifications at better rates. In addition, the Company tends to negotiate for bulk discounts with suppliers. The practice helps ensure a steady supply. There has not been any incident of supply shortage or disruption causing an impact on shipping operations. In terms of fuel, depending on the length of voyage, route, weather conditions, and level of inventory, the Company considers fuel prices and suppliers at different bunkering ports, and make purchases through fuel brokers or directly from suppliers in order to diversify sources and reduce costs. Meanwhile, the Group is open to new suppliers and always assessing potential business relationships in order to diversify concentration risk in procurement.

 Sales

In last year up to the publication date of this report, except for the largest client, who contributed11.46% of the revenue, no other single client of the Group contributed 10.00% or more of the revenue. Therefore, the Group is not exposed to concentration risk in sales.

115

Financial Conditions, Business Results and Risk Analysis

7.6.10 Impact of and Risks in Large Transfer or Change of Equity among Directors, Supervisors, or Principal Shareholders with Over 10% Stake in the Company and Response Measures

Up to the publication date of this report, except for Chairman Lan, who holds a 27.13% stake, no other shareholders hold more than 10% of the shares. There is not likely to be any large transfer of equity to cause any adverse effect on the Company.

7.6.11 Impact of and Risks in Change of Management for the Company and Responding Measures

Not applicable as the Group has not had any change of management in last year up to the publication date of this report.

7.6.12 Litigious or Non-litigious Matters

Concluded or pending litigious, non-litigious, or administrative litigation events involving the Company or any of its directors and supervisors, the president or de facto responsible person of the Company, or a principal shareholder with an over 10% stake and its subsidiary where the outcome may have a material impact on the rights of the Company's shareholders or the prices of its securities:

7.6.13 Other Material Risks and Response Measures  Risk of ship collision, damage, or loss

Ships are exposed to the risk of structural damage or mechanical failure due to collision caused by weather or other forces of nature or human error by the crew, war, or other human factors and to the risk of sinking due to extreme weather conditions. All of the Group's ships are insured against Hull & Machinery and War risks. However, it is not guaranteed that risks arising from collision, damage, or loss can be avoided. As part of its risk management practices, the Company strengthens personnel training and management to ensure seaworthiness of its vessels.

 Third party liability risk

The Group may, in the process of conducting shipping operations, become liable for damage to third parties. The most common examples include crew death and injury, cargo claim, and pollution cleanup. The Group joins international protection and indemnity clubs as a means to manage risks and their potential adverse effects on the company. However, it is not guaranteed that risks arising from crew death and injury, cargo claim, or pollution cleanup can be avoided. As part of its risk management practices, the Company strengthens personnel training and management to ensure seaworthiness of its vessels.

 Risk of piracy

The routes operated by the Group may pass through some relatively unsafe waters or countries. Therefore, the Group tries to persuade charterers to keep from dangerous waters and avoid coastal navigation in order to reduce risk. Where it is necessary to pass through high risk waters, the Group's ships will be accompanied by

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

117

Financial Conditions, Business Results and Risk Analysis

armed escorts stationed at different countries or have hired armed guards onboard. Additional insurance coverages will also be purchased for the voyage. All departments in the Group work constantly to keep the ships up to date on the latest anti-piracy information, and help the captains familiarize themselves with the anti-piracy measures and related safety regulations.

 Risk of business interruption

The Group operates a network of routes that spreads across the world. There are occasional short interruptions of business operations due to local regulations, cargo claims, or mechanical failures. Sometimes ships and/or crew may be seized or detained temporarily, leading to default of contract or other operating losses. To better manage such risks, the Group implements more rigorous training for crew to be more prepared for emergencies, and establishes a communication network and crisis management mechanisms to ensure normal operations are restored in the shortest possible time.

 Risk of market volatility

The global demand for raw materials and commodities and the supply of ships are the two factors driving the dry bulk shipping market. The Group has a diverse fleet consisting mainly of handysize bulk carriers that have the most stable rate in the market. Therefore, the Group is less exposed to the impact of market volatility compared to other companies in the business. Furthermore, the Group manages market volatility risk and secures cash flows for repayments by planning long term contracts. The Group arranges its contracts to avoid stacking, and allocates ships to long term time charter or to self-operating as needed for diversification.

 Risk of oil price volatility

The Group is generally not responsible for the costs of fuels for ships on long term time charter. The impact of fuel price volatility on the Group is found mainly in the self-operating ships in the spot market as it affects short-term estimates of the cost of fuel. However, in the long term, shipping rates charged in the spot market for dry bulk shipping will be adjusted to reflect oil price increase or decrease.

 Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk for a shipping company occurs in out-of-pocket payments for newbuildings and repayments in ship financing. For newbuildings, buyers are often required to pay for the ships in installments before delivery. The buyer's failure to make the installment payments on time will give the shipbuilder the right to unilaterally terminate the agreement and hold the buyer liable for damages to the shipbuilder. Moreover, the Company usually apply to financial institutions for loans to fund newbuilding purchases. These loan agreements often contain a cross default clause that provides the borrower's failure to repay principal or interest on another loan or default on another agreement will constitute default on the loan agreements, thereby creating cross default risk. Under such circumstances, the financial institutions will be entitled to demand early repayments from the Company. If the Company is unable to make repayments, the creditors may proceed unilaterally to auction off the collateral ships as compensation. The Group uses retained earnings to build up cash assets and revenue from the fleet to make down payments for newbuildings. The Group takes a conservative approach to financial planning, and always evaluates cash flows in new building projects with care and caution.

Financial Conditions, Business Results and Risk Analysis

 Risk of executive and crew turnover

The Group relies on the experience and knowledge of Chairman Lan and the executive management team for the success of its operations. A high executive turnover will not be constructive to the Company's long-term development. Hence, one of the Group's long-term strategies focuses on retaining talent and passing on experience and knowledge.

A growing number of vessels in the shipping market over the last few years and the subsequent rising demand for seafarers have led to challenges in recruitment. Less trained crew leads to increased operating costs and risks. As a professional ship owner, the Group has to employ a large number of seafarers. The majority of the crew currently employed by the Group are Chinese seafarers. The Group recruits, dispatches, and manages them through local recruitment agencies in China. Given the limited number of experienced and qualified seafarer recruitment and dispatch agencies in China, the qualification and quality of service offered by one agency may vary greatly from the next. In addition, the lack of clearly established regulations and enforcement standards may not be conductive for local recruitment agencies to provide a steady supply of seafarers for the Group. Furthermore, the human resources market in China has been undergoing transformation in recent years. Therefore, the Group has considered replacing a workforce consisting mainly of Chinese seafarers and building a crew trained in-house. As a result, the Group started working with National Taiwan Ocean University in 2010. A number of deck and engine internships are offered every year, and interns are trained and encouraged to pursue key positions in the fleet.

 Risk of conducting business internationally

Marine transport is primarily governed by regulations at the global level. However, detailed requirements and practices may vary from country to country. The industry also faces threats such as piracy, stowaway, and smuggling. All these factors can affect the loading/discharging schedule or supply of materials and the cost and speed of mechanical maintenance. The Group's management team requires that employees have a clear understanding of the risks in international operations and an excellent command of foreign languages so to ensure an accurate and timely decision making process in risk management and in crisis management.

 Risk of information security

The Company has implemented an internal control system for information management and personal information management procedures in order to manage and monitor network and information security. However, it is impossible to guarantee that third party attack on the networks and computer systems can always be avoided. It is possible for the Company to lose important data under such an attack. Interruption of business or damage to ship may also arise from hackers taking over the vessel tracking systems and electronic charts to extort money from the Company. For internal information security, the Company has the Information Section in charge of overseeing security of the IT systems, monitoring employee computers, creating daily backup schedules, and raising awareness of information security and the correct procedures. For ship information system security, the Company keeps close contact with specialized insurers to learn about information security coverages, and decides whether to purchase policies as needed.

 Protection of shareholder rights

The laws regarding shareholder rights and jurisdiction in the Company's place of registration, the Cayman Islands, differ in some places from those of the Republic of China. The Company has amended the Articles of Incorporation to comply with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Company Act and other applicable laws of the Republic of China to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the Cayman Islands. However, protection of shareholder rights may not extend to the same degree as required of companies incorporated in Taiwan. Please refer to Section 8.5 of this report for ways of exercising shareholder rights and material deviation in protection of shareholder rights. Investors should find out and consult their advisors on any protection of shareholder rights not available when investing in a Cayman Islands company. To learn more about the laws of the Cayman Islands, please visit The Judicial Administration & Portfolio of Legal Affairs Legal Information Website.

8.5 Material deviation in protection of shareholders' rights

Pursuant to the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of Wisdom Marine Lines passed in the general meeting on May 22, 2020, provided the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands is not violated, the Company has followed the Shareholder Protection Checklist for Foreign Issuer's Country of Registration ("Shareholder Protection Checklist") released by the TWSE on December 25, 2019 and established detailed measures in the Articles of Incorporation to ensure shareholders are able to exercise their rights.

In particular, the shareholder protection requirements regarding the powers and responsibilities of supervisors do not apply as Wisdom Marine Lines has independent directors instead. Furthermore, the following shareholder protection requirements cannot be implemented as they are inconsistent with the laws of the Cayman Islands. The reasons for deviation are provided as follows.

8.5.1 Resolutions for consolidation or merger

8.5.1.1 Shareholder Protection Checklist

According to the Shareholder Protection Checklist, for a consolidation or merger proposal to pass, the resolution will require a majority vote of the shareholders present, who have to represent two thirds or more of the total number of outstanding shares. Where the shareholders present do not represent a sufficient number of shares as specified above, a resolution may be passed instead by a two-thirds vote of the shareholders present, who have to represent more than half of the total number of outstanding shares.

8.5.1.2 According to the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands:

According to the lawyers in the Cayman Islands, Section 232 of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands provides that "merger" means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company; and "consolidation" means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies in the consolidated company.

According to Section 233(6) of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, A plan of "merger" or "consolidation" shall be authorized by each constituent company by way of a 75% vote of the shareholders present, who have to represent 75% or more of the total number of outstanding shares of each such constituent company. If the shares issued by the surviving company or consolidated company to the shareholders of each constituent company carry the same rights and value as the original shares, the plan of "merger" or

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

134

Special Disclosure

"consolidation" may be authorized by each constituent company by way of a "special resolution" of the shareholders of each such constituent company.

8.5.1.3 According to the Articles of Incorporation:

The "merger" and "consolidation" provisions in Section 2(a)(xxvi) and (xii) of the Articles of Incorporation are the same as those under the laws of the Cayman Islands. In addition, under the laws of the Republic of China, "merger" and "consolidation" of companies are not distinguished from each other and are known collectively as "merger". Hence, to ensure compliance with the regulations in the Republic of China at the same time, Section 2(a)(xxv) provides explicitly that "merger" and "consolidation" are to be known collectively as "merger" and that the definitions are in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and those of the Republic of China. There is, therefore, no real difference between the two in terms of the definition of "merger".

However, given the laws of the Cayman Islands require a "merger" be authorized by each constituent company by way of a 75% vote of the shareholders present, who have to represent 75% or more of the total number of outstanding shares of each such constituent company or by way of a "special resolution", the part of Section 2(a)(xliv) of the Articles of Incorporation regarding "special resolution of merger" follows the requirements of the above laws of the Cayman Islands. In addition, Section 30(B) provides that mergers shall require a "special resolution of merger" to proceed as required under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

8.5.1.4 Reasons for deviation:

According to the lawyers in the Cayman Islands, the articles of incorporation of a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands are required to comply with the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, and the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands shall prevail in case of conflict. According to the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, mergers shall require a "special resolution of merger" to proceed. Any resolution on such matters that is passed but fails to meet the voting threshold for a "special resolution of merger" under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands shall have no effect under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands.

8.5.1.5 Impact on Taiwanese shareholders:

The Articles of Incorporation of Wisdom Marine Lines Co., Ltd. establishes explicitly the minimum attendance requirement for passing a resolution in the annual general meeting to be shareholders (in person or by proxy) representing more than 50% of the outstanding shares. The voting threshold under the "special resolution for consolidation" provisions in the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands are technically not lower than the requirements under the Company Act of the Republic of China or on the Shareholder Protection Checklist, and, therefore, should have no negative impact on shareholder rights.

Given Section 31 of the Articles of Incorporation complies with the Shareholder Protection Checklist in general and includes the matters requiring passing of a special/supermajority resolution, except for amendment of articles of incorporation and dissolution, in the Articles of Incorporation. Proposals involving consolidation and merger have to proceed in accordance with the "special resolution for consolidation" provisions. Therefore, this part of the Articles of Incorporation should have limited negative impact on shareholder rights.

8.5.2 Attendance by Proxy

8.5.2.1 Basis for Attendance by Proxy on Shareholder Protection Checklist

Articles 5, 6, 6-1, and 7, Article 8, Paragraph 4, Articles 10, 11, 12, 13, 13-1, and 14, Article 16, Paragraph 1, Article 18, Article 19, Paragraph 1, Articles 20, 21, 22, and 23 of the Regulations Governing the Use of Proxies for Attendance at Shareholder Meetings of Public Companies provide the rules and regulations on attendance by proxy at annual general meetings.

8.5.2.2 According to The Companies Law of the Cayman Islands/Articles of Incorporation:

According to Section 59 of the Articles of Incorporation, shareholders attending annual general meetings by proxy or conducting proxy solicitation shall follow the Regulations Governing the Use of Proxies for Attendance at Shareholder Meetings of Public Companies and other applicable laws of the Republic of China.

8.5.2.3 Reasons for deviation:

Given the degree of detail and relative complexity of the rules on proxy use and solicitation provided by the Shareholder Protection Checklist, the Company, in the interest of avoiding frequent changes of the Articles of Incorporation while complying with the proxy use and solicitation regulations, decided to state in general that the procedures shall follow the applicable laws of the Republic of China and the Regulations Governing the Use of Proxies for Attendance at Shareholder Meetings of Public Companies.

8.5.2.4 Impact on Taiwanese shareholders:

Given the purpose of the Shareholder Protection Checklist is to require that public companies and their shareholders comply with the proxy use and solicitation provisions under the Company Act and the Regulations Governing the Use of Proxies for Attendance at Shareholder Meetings of Public Companies, Section 59 of the Articles of Incorporation has been made to require shareholders attending annual general meetings by proxy or conducting proxy solicitation follow the Regulations Governing the Use of Proxies for Attendance at Shareholder Meetings of Public Companies and other applicable laws of the Republic of China. In addition, Section 2(6) of the Taiwan Stock Exchange Letter Taiwan-Stock-Shang-0991701319 dated April 16, 2010 ("TWSE Letter") states explicitly general provisions may be established without specifics. Therefore, this part should have no real impact on shareholder rights.

8.5.3 Statutory Reserve

8.5.3.1 According to Shareholder Protection Checklist:

The following matters shall be listed and generally described in the reasons for the annual general meeting and not be brought up as extemporary motions:

  • appointment or removal of directors/supervisors;

  • change of the Articles of Incorporation;

  • dissolution, consolidation or merger, share exchange or split-up of the Company;

  • entering into, amending, or terminating any contract for lease of the Company’s business in whole, for entrusted business, or for regular joint operation with others;

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

  • transferring the whole or any essential part of its business or assets;

  • accepting the transfer of another’s whole business or assets, which has great bearing on the business operation of the Company;

  • private placement of securities with equity characteristics;

  • permission for directors to engage in activities prohibited by noncompetition clauses;

  • distribution of all or part of dividends and bonuses in the form of new shares; and

  • distribution of capital surplus from the legal reserve and income from contributed capital in excess of par or gift to original shareholders in the form of new shares.

8.5.3.2 Reasons for deviation/impact on Taiwanese shareholders:

The Articles of Incorporation of Wisdom Marine Lines does not include any provision on share conversion at present. To avoid ambiguity, the Company intends to amend the lack at the 2021 general meeting. The amended Articles of Incorporation will comply with the Shareholder Protection Checklist. The amendment should have no material impact on the exercise of shareholder rights.

8.6 Corporate events with material impact on shareholders' equity or stock prices set forth in Article 36, Paragraph 3, Subparagraph 2 of Securities and Exchange Act in the past year and up to the date of report should be listed individually:

None.

Risk assessment, 3. Control operation, 4. Information and communication, and 5. Monitoring. Each element further contains several items. For more information on the aforementioned items, please refer to the Regulations.

  • IV. The Company has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system according to the aforesaid criteria.

Audit Report of Independent Auditors

Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Wisdom Marine Lines Co., Limited (Cayman)

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wisdom Marine Lines Co., Limited (Cayman) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee.

Basis for Opinion

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

142

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Revenue recognition

Hire revenues amounted to $379,014,925 for the year ended 31 December 2020, accounting for 94% of operating revenues, which is significant to the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we have determined the validity of hire revenue as a key audit matter. The audit procedures we conducted regarding the hire revenue recognition included but not limited to the following: understanding the design and implementation of internal controls with regard to hire revenue recognition in order to design relevant internal control audit procedures in response to the validity of hire revenue so as to verify the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the Group's internal controls; selecting samples from the population of hire revenues to perform tests of control and tests of details; examining lease contracts, debit notes, bank statements and remittances to ensure whether recognition of hire revenues are in accordance with contract terms and remitters are consistent with the counterparty of the lease contracts, performing confirmations of lease contracts to verify existence of lessees and validity of contract terms; analyzing variances in hire revenues and fluctuations in gross margin and assessing the reasonable. We also evaluated the disclosure regarding revenue recognition in Notes 4 and 6 of the consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

As at 31 December 2020, the amount of the Group’s property, plant and equipment was $2,612,894,085, which accounted for 89% of total assets. The management assessed if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired on balance sheet date. If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the Group should evaluate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating-unit (CGU), to which the asset belongs. The property, plant and equipment of the Group mainly consists of vessel equipment. The subsidiaries of the Company took the one-vessel-one-company strategy to manage vessels, and the main CGU for each subsidiary is their vessels. With the view that the amount of property, plant and equipment being material and the calculation of recoverable amount involving numerous assumptions and estimates, we have determined the impairment of property, plant and equipment as a key audit matter. The audit procedures we conducted regarding the impairment of property, plant and equipment included but not limited to the following: evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policy for impairment of property, plant and equipment; inspecting the impairment evaluation report provided by the Group and assessing the reasonableness of managements identification of indicators of impairment and the assumptions used, including identification of CGU, estimation of cash flows and discount rate. We also evaluated the disclosure regarding property, plant and equipment in Notes 4, 5 and 6 of the consolidated financial statements.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee and Interpretations developed by the Standing Interpretations Committee 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.

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

143

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with 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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

  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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

144

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2020 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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 amendments clarify the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amendments are intended to assist entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition.

IFRS 3 continues to adopt a market participant’s perspective to determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a business. The amendments clarify the minimum

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

requirements for a business; add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive; and narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs; etc.

  • B. Definition of a Material - Amendments to IAS 1 and 8

The main amendment is to clarify new definition of material. It states that “information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.” The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. An entity will need to assess whether the information, either individually or in combination with other information, is material in the context of the financial statements.

  • C. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7

The amendments include a number of exceptions, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is directly affected if the interest rate benchmark reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing and or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. Hence, the entity shall apply the exceptions to all hedging relationships directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform.

The amendments include:

  • (a) highly probable requirement When determining whether a forecast transaction is highly probable, an entity shall assume that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows are based is not altered as a result of the interest rate benchmark reform.

  • (b) prospective assessments

  • When performing prospective assessments, an entity shall assume that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged item, hedged risk and/or hedging instrument are based is not altered as a result of the interest rate benchmark reform.

  • (c) IAS 39 retrospective assessment

  • An entity is not required to undertake the IAS 39 retrospective assessment (i.e. the actual results of the hedge are within a range of 80–125%) for hedging relationships directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform.

  • (d) separately identifiable risk components For hedges of a non-contractually specified benchmark component of interest rate risk, an entity shall apply the separately identifiable requirement only at the inception of such hedging relationships.

The amendments also include the end of application of the exceptions requirements and the related disclosures requirements of the amendments.

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

152

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • (2) The following standards or interpretations issued by IASB are not yet effective:

  • A. IFRS 10“Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28“Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”-Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Ventures

The amendments address the inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an associate or a joint venture. IAS 28 restricts gains and losses arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or a joint venture to the extent of the interest attributable to the other equity holders in the associate or joint ventures. IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition on the loss of control of the subsidiary. IAS 28 was amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full.

IFRS 10 was also amended so that the gains or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.

B. IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects (including recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements). The core of IFRS 17 is the General (building block) Model, under this model, on initial recognition, an entity shall measure a group of insurance contracts at the total of the fulfilment cash flows and the contractual service margin. The fulfilment cash flows comprise of the following:

  • (a) estimates of future cash flows;

  • (b) Discount rate: an adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows, to the extent that the financial risks are not included in the estimates of the future cash flows; and

  • (c) a risk adjustment for non-financial risk.

The carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at the end of each reporting period shall be the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims. Other than the General Model, the standard also provides a specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the Variable Fee Approach) and a simplified approach (Premium Allocation Approach) mainly for short-duration contracts.

  • C. Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

153

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These are the amendments to paragraphs 69-76 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial statements and the amended paragraphs related to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current.

  • D. Narrow-scope amendments of IFRS, including Amendments to IFRS 3, Amendments to IAS 16, Amendments to IAS 37 and the Annual Improvements

  • (a) Updating a Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3)

The amendments updated IFRS 3 by replacing a reference to an old version of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting with a reference to the latest version, which was issued in March 2018. The amendments also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential “day 2” gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities. Besides, the amendments clarify existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Conceptual Framework.

  • (b) Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16)

The amendments prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.

  • (c) Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)

The amendments clarify what costs a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous.

  • (d) Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018 - 2020

Amendment to IFRS 1

The amendment simplifies the application of IFRS 1 by a subsidiary that becomes a first-time adopter after its parent in relation to the measurement of cumulative translation differences.

Amendment to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

The amendment clarifies the fees a company includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability.

Amendment to Illustrative Examples Accompanying IFRS 16 Leases

The amendment to Illustrative Example 13 accompanying IFRS 16 modifies the treatment of lease incentives relating to lessee’s leasehold improvements.

Amendment to IAS 41

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

154

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The amendment removes a requirement to exclude cash flows from taxation when measuring fair value thereby aligning the fair value measurement requirements in IAS 41 with those in other IFRS Standards.

  • E. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16)

The final phase amendments mainly relate to the effects of the interest rate benchmark reform on the companies’ financial statements:

  • (a) A company will not have to derecognise or adjust the carrying amount of financial instruments for changes to contractual cash flows as required by the reform, but will instead update the effective interest rate to reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate;

  • (b) A company will not have to discontinue its hedge accounting solely because it makes changes required by the reform, if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria; and

  • (c) A company will be required to disclose information about new risks arising from the reform and how it manages the transition to alternative benchmark rates.

  • F. Disclosure Initiative - Accounting Policies – Amendments to IAS 1

The amendments improve accounting policy disclosures that to provide more useful information to investors and other primary users of the financial statements.

  • G. Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to IAS 8

The amendments introduce the definition of accounting estimates and included other amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to help companies distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies.

The abovementioned standards and interpretations issued by IASB are not yet effective at the date when the Group’s financial statements were authorized for issue. As the Group is still currently determining the potential impact of the standards and interpretations listed under A and G. it is not practicable to estimate their impact on the Group at this point in time. All other standards and interpretations have no material impact on the Group.

  1. Summary of significant accounting policies

  2. (1) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

  • (2) Basis of preparation

  • A. Basis of measurement

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

155

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for those financial instruments that are measured at fair value with changes therein shown in the consolidated financial statements.

  • B. Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Group entities is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency and presentation currency.

  • (3) Basis of consolidation

  • A. Preparation principle of consolidated financial statements

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

  • (a) power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)

  • (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and

  • (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • (a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee

  • (b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements

  • (c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the acquisition date, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using uniform accounting policies. All intra-group balances, income and expenses, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

156

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a change of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed 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.

If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it:

  • (a) derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;

  • (b) derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;

  • (c) recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;

  • (d) recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;

  • (e) recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and

  • (f) reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit or loss.

Subsidiaries excluded from consolidation: None.

(4) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group entities at their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency closing rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.

All exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items are taken to profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for the following:

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

161

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • A. Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings for an acquisition of a qualifying asset to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs are included in the borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalization.

  • B. Foreign currency items within the scope of IFRS 9 “ Financial Instruments” are accounted for based on the accounting policy for financial instruments.

  • C. Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entity’s net investment in a foreign operation is recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (5) Translation of financial statements in foreign currency

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the closing rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their income and expenses are translated at an average rate for the period. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income. On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation, recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the separate component of equity, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the gain or loss on disposal is recognized.

The following partial disposals are accounted for as disposals:

  • A. when the partial disposal involves the loss of control of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation; and

  • B. when the retained interest after the partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or a partial disposal of an interest in an associate that includes a foreign operation is a financial asset that includes a foreign operation.

On the partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in a loss of control, the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is re-attributed to the non-controlling interests in that foreign operation. In partial disposal of an associate or jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation that does not result in a loss of significant influence or joint control, only the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

162

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Any goodwill and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and expressed in its functional currency.

  • (6) Current and non-current distinction

An asset is classified as current when:

  • A. The Group expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle

  • B. The Group holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading

  • C. The Group expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period

  • D. The asset is cash or 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.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when:

  • A. The Group expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle

  • B. The Group holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading

  • C. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period

  • D. 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 the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  • (7) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid time deposits or investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Time deposits which mature over three months are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. They are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, therefore they are reported as cash and cash equivalents.

  • (8) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 “ Financial Instruments” are recognized initially at fair value plus or minus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

163

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement

The Group accounts for regular way purchase or sales of financial assets on the trade date.

The Group classified financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income on the basis of both:

  • (a) the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and

  • (b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and presented as note receivables, trade receivables financial assets measured at amortized cost and other receivables etc., on balance sheet as at the reporting date:

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

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

Such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost (the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount and adjusted for any loss allowance) and is not part of a hedging relationship. A gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized, through the amortization process or in order to recognize the impairment gains or losses.

Interest revenue is calculated by using the effective interest method. This is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for:

  • (a) purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Group applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition.

  • (b) financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Group applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.

Financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

164

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:

  • (a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and

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

Recognition of gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are described as below:

  • (a) A gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, until the financial asset is derecognized or reclassified.

  • (b) When the financial asset is derecognized the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.

  • (c) Interest revenue is calculated by using the effective interest method. This is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for:

  • i. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Group applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition.

  • ii. Financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Group applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.

Besides, for certain equity investments within the scope of IFRS 9 that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies, the Group made an irrevocable election to present the changes of the fair value in other comprehensive income at initial recognition. Amounts presented in other comprehensive income shall not be subsequently transferred to profit or loss (when disposal of such equity instrument, its cumulated amount included in other components of equity is transferred directly to the retained earnings) and these investments should be presented as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income on the balance sheet. Dividends on such investment are recognized in profit or loss unless the dividends clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of investment.

B. Impairment of financial assets

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

165

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group is recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial asset measured at amortized cost. The loss allowance on debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income and not reduce the carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

The Group measures expected credit losses of a financial instrument in a way that reflects:

  • (a) an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;

  • (b) the time value of money; and

  • (c) reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

The loss allowance is measures as follow:

  • (a) At an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses: the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition or the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. In addition, the Group measures the loss allowance for a financial asset at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that condition is no longer met.

  • (b) At an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses: the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition or financial asset that is purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset.

  • (c) For trade receivables or contract assets arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 15, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

  • (d) For lease receivables arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 16, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

At each reporting date, the Group needs to assess whether the credit risk on a financial asset has been increased significantly since initial recognition by comparing the risk of a default occurring at the reporting date and the risk of default occurring at initial recognition. Please refer to Note 12 for further details on credit risk.

  • C. Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized when:

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

166

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • (a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired

  • (b) The Group has transferred the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset have been transferred

  • (c) The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received or receivable including any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.

  • D. Financial liabilities and equity

Classification between liabilities or equity

The Group classifies the instrument issued as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability, and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity (net of any related income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided.

Compound instruments

The Group evaluates the terms of the convertible bonds issued to determine whether it contains both a liability and an equity component. Furthermore, the Group assesses if the economic characteristics and risks of the put and call options contained in the convertible bonds are closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract before separating the equity element.

For the liability component excluding the derivatives, its fair value is determined based on the rate of interest applied at that time by the market to instruments of comparable credit status. The liability component is classified as a financial liability measured at amortized cost before the instrument is converted or settled.

For the embedded derivative that is not closely related to the host contract (for example, if the exercise price of the embedded call or put option is not approximately equal on each exercise date to the amortized cost of the host debt instrument), it is classified as a liability

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

167

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

component and subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it qualifies for an equity component. The equity component is assigned the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component. Its carrying amount is not re-measured in the subsequent accounting periods. If the convertible bond issued does not have an equity component, it is accounted for as a hybrid instrument in accordance with the requirements under IFRS 9 “ Financial Instruments” .

Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible bond based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognized.

On conversion of a convertible bond before maturity, the carrying amount of the liability component being the amortized cost at the date of conversion is transferred to equity.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 “ Financial Instruments” are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost upon initial recognition.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

  • (a) it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term;

  • (b) on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of shortterm profit-taking; or

  • (c) it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).

If a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire hybrid (combined) contract may be designated as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss; or a financial liability may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss when doing so results in more relevant information, because either:

  • (a) it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or (b) a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

168

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis to the key management personnel.

Gains or losses on the subsequent measurement of liabilities at fair value through profit or losses including interest paid are recognized in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include interest bearing loans and borrowings that are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method after initial recognition. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate method amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor), such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

E. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(9) Derivative instrument

The Group uses derivative instruments to hedge its foreign currency risks. A derivative is classified in the balance sheet as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (held for trading) except for derivatives that are designated effective hedging instruments which are classified as derivative financial assets or liabilities for hedging.

Derivative instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

169

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

directly to profit or loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognized in equity.

When the host contracts are either non-financial assets or liabilities, derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not designated at fair value though profit or loss.

(10) Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • A. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • B. In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

(11) Inventories

Inventories are bunker oil and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of fuel is determined using the “weighted-average” cost method. Net realizable value is the determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated selling expenses at the end of the period.

  • (12) Investments accounted for using the equity method

The Group’s investment in its associate is accounted for using equity method other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence.

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

170

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Under equity method, the investment in the associate or an investment in a joint venture is carried in the balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate. After the interest in the associate 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. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s related interest in the associate.

When the associate issues new stock, and the Group’s interest in an associate is reduced or increased as the Group fails to acquire shares newly issued in the associate proportionately to its original ownership interest, the increase or decrease in the interest in the associate is recognized in Additional Paid in Capital and Investment accounted for using equity method. When the interest in the associate is reduced, the cumulative amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or other appropriate items. The aforementioned capital surplus recognized is reclassified to profit or loss on a pro rata basis when the Group disposes the associate.

The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired in accordance with IAS 28 “ Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” . If this is the case the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the ‘share of profit or loss of an associate’ in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” . In determining the value in use of the investment, the Group estimates:

  • A. Its share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the associate, including the cash flows from the operations of the associate and the proceeds on the ultimate disposal of the investment; or

  • B. The present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from dividends to be received from the investment and from its ultimate disposal.

Because goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate is not separately recognized, it is not tested for impairment separately by applying the requirements for impairment testing goodwill in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” .

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognizes any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

171

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss. Furthermore, 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 entity continues to apply equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest.

(13) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located and borrowing costs for construction in progress if the recognition criteria are met. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognized such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized in accordance with the derecognition provisions of IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” . When a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

All major components of the vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets. Depreciation is based on cost less the estimated residual value. The residual value is estimated as the lightweight tonnage of each vessel multiplied by scrap value per ton.

The dry-docking cost, including acquisition of a new vessel, is separated from the remaining cost of the vessel. These two cost elements are recognized and depreciated separately. For the building of new vessels, the initial dry-docking cost is also segregated and capitalized separately.

The Group has a long-term plan for dry-docking of the vessels. Dry-docking cost is capitalized and depreciated until the next planned dry-docking. Other capitalized improvements are depreciated over the estimated economic life.

The carrying values of vessels and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Valuations are performed frequently to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. The residual values, useful lives, and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period, except for those cases which are of little consequence.

A vessel or item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of an asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated income statement in the year the asset is derecognized.

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

172

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Expenditures on the building of new vessels are capitalized as vessels under construction as they are paid. Capitalized value is reclassified from vessel under construction to vessels upon delivery from the dock. The total acquisition cost of a vessel is determined based on the sum of installments paid plus the costs incurred during the construction period. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the construction of the vessels are capitalized as part of the vessel. The interest rate is based on the weighted-average borrowing costs for the Group, limited to the total borrowing costs incurred in the period.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the following assets:

Buildings 28 years
Vessels 16-25 years
Vessel equipment 3-5 years
Dry-dockings 2.5 years
Other 3-5 years
Right-of-use assets 1.5-25 years

The assets residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

(14) Investment property

The Group’s owned investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale (or are included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations , investment properties are measured using the cost model in accordance with the requirements of IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment for that model. If investment properties are held by a lessee as right-of-use assets and is not held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, investment properties are measured in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 16.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the following assets:

Buildings 28 years

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

173

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.

The Group transfers to or from investment properties when there is a change in use for these assets.

Properties are transferred to or from investment properties when the properties meet, or cease to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use.

(15) Leases

The Group assesses whether the 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 for a period of time, the Group assesses whether, throughout the period of use, has both of the following:

  • A. the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset; and

  • B. the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

For a contract that is, or contains, a lease, the Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract. For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. The relative stand-alone price of lease and non-lease components shall be determined on the basis of the price the lessor, or a similar supplier, would charge the Group for that component, or a similar component, separately. If an observable stand-alone price is not readily available, the Group estimates the stand-alone price, maximising the use of observable information.

Group as a lessee

Except for leases that meet and elect short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, the Group recognizes right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases which the Group is the lessee of those lease contracts.

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

174

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments discount using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses it’s incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date:

  • A. fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

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

  • C. amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

  • D. the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  • E. payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

After the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability on an amortised cost basis, which is increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability by using an effective interest method; and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

At the commencement date, the Group measures the right-of-use asset at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises:

  • A. the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

  • B. any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

  • C. any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and

  • D. an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

For subsequent measurement of the right-of-use asset, the Group measures the right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. That is, the Group measures the right-of-use applying a cost model.

If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option, the Group depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Group depreciates the right-of-use

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

175

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-ofuse asset or the end of the lease term.

The Group applies IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.

Except for leases that meet and elect short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, the Group presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet and presents interest expense separately from the depreciation charge associate with those leases in the consolidated income statement.

For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, the Group elects to recognize the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis.

Group as a lessor

At inception of a contract, the Group classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. At the commencement date, the Group recognizes assets held under a finance lease in its balance sheet and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.

For a contract that contains lease components and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract applying IFRS 15.

The Group recognizes lease payments from operating leases as rental income on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis. Variable lease payments for operating leases that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as rental income when incurred.

(16) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset in the scope of IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s (“CGU”) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

176

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been an increase in the estimated service potential of an asset which in turn increases the recoverable amount. However, the reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

An impairment loss of continuing operations or a reversal of such impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(17) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group 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 or the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

(18) Revenue recognition

Hire Revenue

Hire revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably. The revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration that the Group has received or had the right to receive. The revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis over the lease term.

Freight Revenue and Vessel Management Revenue

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

177

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group’s revenue arising from contracts with customers are rendering of services, including shipping services and vessel management services. Such services are separately priced or negotiated, and provided based on contract periods. As the Group provides the services over the contract period, so that the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Group. Accordingly, the performance obligations are satisfied over time, and the related revenue are recognized by reference to the stage of completion over the period.

Most of the contractual considerations of the Group are received on average during the contract period after the provision of services. When the Group has performed the services to customers but does not has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, these contacts should be presented as contract assets. However, for some rendering of services contracts, part of the consideration was received from customers upon signing the contract, and the Group has the obligation to provide the services subsequently; accordingly, these amounts are recognized as contract liabilities.

The period between the transfers of contract liabilities to revenue is usually within one year, thus, no significant financing component is arised.

(19) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

(20) Post-employment benefits

A. Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss during which services are rendered by employees.

B. Defined benefit plans

Post-employment benefit plan that is classified as a defined benefit plan uses the Projected Unit Credit Method to measure its obligations and costs based on actuarial assumptions. Re-measurements, comprising of the effect of the actuarial gains and losses, the effect of

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

178

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the asset ceiling (excluding net interest) and the return on plan assets, excluding net interest, are recognized as other comprehensive income with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings in the period in which they occur.

Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss on the earlier of:

  • (a) the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

  • (b) the date that the Group recognizes restructuring-related costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset, both as determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contribution and benefit payment.

The Group will remeasure the net defined benefit liability (asset) and determine current service costs and net interest for the remaining reporting period by renewed actuarial assumptions since the post-employment benefit plan ofthe defined benefit plan be amended, curtailed or settled.

C. Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans 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.

(21) Income taxes

Income tax expense (income) is the aggregate amount included in the determination of profit or loss for the period in respect of current tax and deferred tax.

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current income tax relating to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss.

The income tax for undistributed earnings is recognized as income tax expense in the subsequent year when the distribution proposal is approved by the Shareholders’ meeting.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • A. Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss

  • B. In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

  • A. Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss

  • B. In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

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

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized accordingly.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

5. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements require management to make

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

180

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumption and estimate could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Please find the details as below:

(1) Judgement

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

A. Investment properties

Certain properties of the Group comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is owner-occupied. If these portions could be sold separately, the Group accounts for the portions separately as investment properties and property, plant and equipment. If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is classified as investment property in its entirety only if the portion that is owner-occupied is under 1% of the total property.

(2) Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

A. Fair value of financial instruments

Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the income approach (for example the discounted cash flows model) or market approach. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of the financial instruments. Please refer to Note 12 for more details.

B. Impairment of non-financial assets

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date less incremental costs that would be directly attributable to the disposal of the asset or cash generating unit. The value in use calculation

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

181

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows projections are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the cash generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

C. Useful lives and depreciation of vessels

Management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its vessels. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of vessels of similar nature and functions. It could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitor actions in response to severe industry activities. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or it will write down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. Management assesses the scrap value according to the characteristics of the Group’s vessels and the market research from Clarkson and Demolition Market.

The Group determines the depreciation amount of vessels based on the estimated useful lives and residual values, which are reviewed at each reporting date. The principal assumptions for the Group’s estimation of the useful lives and residual values include those related to the mode of operations, government regulations, and scrap value of vessels in future.

D. Provision for losses from accidents

Provision for losses from accidents is made based on an assessment of the outcome of negotiations, arbitration or litigation, and the recoverability of losses from insurance companies, which requires management’s judgment and estimates. Where the actual outcome or expectation in the future differs from the original estimate, such differences will have an impact on the carrying amount of the provisions and losses incurred in accidents/write-back in the period in which such estimate is changed.

E. Fair value of investment property

Where the fair value of investment property disclosed in Note 6 and Note 12 cannot be obtained from the active market, it is determined using valuation techniques including the sales comparison approach and the income approach. Changes in assumptions adopted in the valuation methods could affect the disclosed fair value of investment property and the result of impairment testing. Please refer to Note 6 and Note 12 for more details.

  • (2) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s principal financial risk management objective is to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activities. The Group identifies measures and manages the aforementioned risks based on the Group’s policy and risk appetite.

The Group has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for financial risk management.

  • (3) Market risk

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

219

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the changes in market prices. Market prices comprise currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk (such as equity risk).

In practice, it is rarely the case that a single risk variable will change independently from other risk variable, there is usually interdependencies between risk variables. However the sensitivity analysis disclosed below does not take into account the interdependencies between risk variables.

Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily USD and Japanese Yen.

The foreign currency sensitivity analysis of the possible change in foreign exchange rates on the Group’s profit is performed on significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as at the end of the reporting period. The Group’s foreign currency risk is mainly related to the volatility in the exchange rates for foreign currency Yen. The information of the sensitivity analysis is as follows:

When USD strengthens/weakens against foreign currency Yen by 10%, the profit for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 decreases/increases by $7,000,984 and $7,003,430, respectively; the equity decreases/increases by $0 and $0, respectively.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is managed by the Group on an ongoing basis with the primary objective of limiting the extent to which net interest expense could be affected by an adverse movement in interest rates. The Group’s has no financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss bearing fixed interest payable. The Group does not use financial derivatives to hedge against interest rate risk.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis is performed on items exposed to interest rate risk as at the end of the reporting period, including investments and borrowings with variable interest rates and interest rate swaps. At the reporting date, a change of 0.25% of interest rate in a reporting period could cause the profit for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 to increases/decreases by $4,707,985 and $4,500,470, respectively; the equity decreases /increases by $0 and $0, respectively.

Equity price risk

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

220

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fair value of the Group’s conversion rights of the Euro-convertible bonds issued are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The conversion rights of the Euro-convertible bonds issued are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss as it does not satisfy the definition of an equity component. Please refer to Note 12.H for sensitivity analysis information of other equity instruments or derivatives that are linked to such equity instruments whose fair value measurement is categorized under Level 3.

  • (4) Credit risk management

  • A. Financial assets subject to credit risk include cash and cash equivalent and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited in large bank institutions, while accounts receivable are disclosed at net amount after deducting allowance for expected credit losses. Per industry practice, most hire revenue are received in advance. In addition, the Group manages credit risks through reviewing credit rating of individual client and limiting the overall risk. The credit risk of accounts receivable and the credit concentration risk are insignificant.

  • B. The risk exposure of credit risk

The book value of financial assets represents the maximum amount of credit risk exposure. On the reported date, the maximum amount of credit risk exposure is as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash on hand)
Accounts receivables and other receivables
(including from related parties)
Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income

  • (7) Fair values offinancial instruments

  • A. The methods and assumptions applied in determining the fair value of financial instruments:

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Group to measure or disclose the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities:

  • (a) The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, held-tomaturity financial assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

  • (b) Fair value of debt instruments without market quotations, bank loans, bonds payable and other non-current liabilities are determined based on the counterparty prices or valuation method. The valuation method uses DCF method as a basis, and the assumptions such as the interest rate and discount rate are primarily based on relevant information of similar instrument (such as yield curves published by the GreTai Securities Market, average prices for fixed rate commercial paper published by Reuters and credit risk, etc.)

  • (c) The fair value of derivatives which are not options and without market quotations, is determined based on the counterparty prices or discounted cash flow analysis using interest rate yield curve for the contract period. Fair value of option-based derivative financial instruments is obtained using the counterparty prices or appropriate option pricing model (for example, Binomial Tree model) or other valuation method (for example, Monte Carlo Simulation).

  • B. Fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost

==> picture [49 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

  • (9) Fair value measurement hierarchy

  • A. Fair value measurement hierarchy

All asset and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. Level 1, 2 and 3 inputs are described as follows:

  • Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
