I Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
The Company's operations in 2021 have been affected by the ups and downs of the COVID-19 pandemic in the
past three years, as well as the new situation of regional economic development. In response to the risk of
climate change, with the goal having moved from carbon neutrality to net zero emissions, corporate
management is not only the pursuit of the best interests of shareholders, and ESG has become the most
important responsibility of corporate sustainable management. In the face of the current challenges, the
Company has been able to grasp the key business opportunities and move forward steadily. In 2021, net income
after tax reached NT$14.6 billion and earnings per share were NT$4.27, the best operating performance in history.
We are committed to being a better and stronger company, and in a changing environment, we are able to
enhance our competitive edge in differentiation and demonstrate our brilliant and profitable results. Looking
ahead to the year 2022, the Company is still committed to the goal of corporate sustainable development,
continuing to promote corporate process reengineering, intelligent manufacturing and automated production,
actively carrying out investments and construction in energy conservation, green energy and circular economy,
strengthening the Company's resilience and core competitiveness, and pursuing the creation of corporate value
for the benefit of stakeholders.
Accomplishments in 2021
The Company's consolidated revenue for the year 2021 was NT$156.7 billion and consolidated gross profit was
NT$19.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 39% and 59% respectively. Total operating income reached NT$13.3
billion, a year-on-year increase of more than 80%. In addition to the doubling of the operating income of the
Wire and Cable Business Group, the growth was mainly driven by the quadrupling of the operating income of the
Stainless Steel Business Group, as well as the operating income of the Commodity Business Group, which
benefited from new investments such as the nickel iron and power plant in Indonesia, pushing the Company's
annual profit to a record high.
Wire and Cable Business:
The overall profit of the wire and cable business grew compared to the previous year, benefiting from the return
of Taiwanese businessmen and the expansion of private investment in factory construction, which led to an
increase in demand for power cables. With the increasing sales of our main products, such as power and
1
Letter to Shareholders
telecommunication cables, we continued to maintain our leadership in market share.
Stainless Steel Business:
The Stainless Steel Business's overall profit increased significantly compared to previous years. In the face of the
volatility of supply and demand in the raw material market, we were able to effectively control the procurement
of materials and fully satisfy customers' needs through timely adjustment of production capacity and accurate
delivery, thus effectively grasping market opportunities and enhancing our market competitiveness.
Commodity Business:
The nickel pig iron plant in Indonesia was not affected by the pandemic, with the construction being completed
according to the timeline. The RKEF production line was completed in mid-2021 and the power plant commenced
operation at the end of 2021. All production lines will be in full operation in 2022 to ensure high production
capacity and effectively reduce the risk of raw material price fluctuations.
Real Estate Business:
The Taipei headquarters, Xinyi Building, is generating stable rental income; Phase II of Lot AB in Nanjing, China,
including One Mall, has not been affected by the pandemic and has seen steady growth in foot traffic and sales;
the construction of the No.6 Building and the leasing of 12 floors of commercial and office space resulted in
stable rental income flow.
Summary of 2022 Business Plan
Wire and Cable Business:
We will grasp the business opportunities of plant construction and provide customers with accurate services to
maintain our market leadership position. We will also expand our deployment in the industrial cable market. In
addition to the sales of cables for harbor machinery, we are also actively engaged in green energy cables and
developing new products to capture the growing business opportunities in the green energy industry, such as
solar and wind energy.
Stainless Steel Business:
In the face of external environmental impacts such as the pandemic and carbon neutrality issues, we will continue
to reduce carbon emissions in the manufacturing process to improve overall production efficiency and pursuit
environmental conservation and energy saving, while accelerating new product development and expanding the
proportion of high-value products to strengthen our product competitiveness.
2
Commodity Business:
We will control the management of the whole production operation of nickel production plants and power plants,
integrate the procurement of raw materials and risk management of each business unit, and continue to deepen
the cooperation relationship with green energy suppliers, for the purpose of constructing a green supply chain
to meet the trend of sustainable management, as well as achieving the goal of minimizing risks and reducing
production costs.
Real Estate Business:
No. 1 Office Building, Phase II of Lot AB in Nanjing, China, is expected to be completed in mid-2022, and is actively
engaged in leasing and sales plans; the commercial department on Floors 1-4 and office space on Floors 5-12 of
the No.6 Building have been leased; and One Mall has adjusted its store mix to enhance operational performance.
Future corporate development strategy under the influence of external competition,
regulations and overall business operation
Looking ahead to 2022, the short-term operational challenges posed by inflation, abnormal volatility in the supply
of raw materials and financial trading markets, and rising geopolitical risks are testing the Company's momentum
of maintaining its stable profit growth. The Company's long-term operation strategy is based on industrial
automation and intelligence, energy saving and environmental protection, and R&D innovation, and the creation
of a customer value chain through manufacturing services, with a view to enhancing the core competitiveness
of the Company and laying the foundation for its long-term stable growth.

4. Diversity and Independence of the Board
(1) Diversity of the Board
In accordance with Article 20 of the Company's Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles and the "Principles of
Election of Board Members and Managers and Guidelines for Continuing Education and Succession Planning"
established by the Company in November 2021, the Board of Directors will implement the objectives of diversity and
independence in terms of expertise, experience and gender required for Board members, and will continue to invite
appropriate candidates to join the Board of Directors in accordance with the above objectives in order to strengthen
the balance of the Board of Directors in response to the Company's development strategies and changes in the
internal and external environment. In order to achieve the desired objectives of corporate governance, the Board of
Directors of the Company is composed of members from the management team, managers of relevant industries
and professionals with financial, business and accounting backgrounds, who effectively perform the duties of Board
members with different fields and work backgrounds. These duties include establishing and maintaining the
Company's vision and values, assisting in promoting corporate governance and strengthening management,
overseeing and evaluating the implementation of management policies and operational plans, and being responsible
for the Company's overall economic, social, and environmental operations to enhance corporate governance and
corporate value from the perspective of stakeholders.
The Company has built its strength by being focused on the wire and cable, stainless steel, commodity, and
commercial real estate fields and become a model of business excellence moving towards the manufacturing service
industry. If we look at the list of directors of the Company, Yu-Lon Chiao, Chairman, has been working in the business
field of the Company for a long time and has a good understanding of the operation and development of the industry,
with an open-minded leadership style that encourages adoption of suggestions; Director Yu-Cheng Chiao and
Director Yu-Heng Chiao have joined the management team of the Company and therefore are familiar with the
organization and business operation of the Company and are good at operation management; Andrew Hsia, Director,
comes from a diplomatic background with an international perspective and therefore has a good grasp of the
conditions of the Southeast Asian market and can fully assist the Company in making relevant investment decisions;
Director Pei-Ming Chen's work experience is focused on semiconductor business, and he has participated in many
mergers and acquisitions and international business integration and therefore has operational management
experience and expertise. As for the two female Directors, Director Patricia Chiao specializes in operational
management, investment judgment and human resourcest, while Director Wei-Shin Ma specializes in technology
leadership, operational judgment and operational management. The Company's Independent Directors have
industry knowledge and an international market perspective, with Independent Director Ming-Ling Hsueh
specializing in finance, accounting and corporate governance, Independent Director Fu-Hsiung Hu having expertise
and experience in business administration, finance and securities, and credit information, Independent Director King-
Ling Du having extensive steel expertise and being familiar with the development and management of the stainless
steel industry, and Independent Director Shiang-Chung Chen specializing in intelligent technology leadership with a
good grasp of the development of Industry 4.0.
(2) Independence of the Board:
There are 11 Directors of the Company, including 4 Independent Directors, whose terms of office do not exceed
three consecutive terms, so as not to reduce their independence due to long tenure and to enable them to exercise
their duties and responsibilities objectively, and none of them are subject to Paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 26-3 of
the Securities and Exchange Act.
The Company should have only 3 Independent Directors in accordance with the law, but it has four Independent
Directors, one more than legally required, which exceed the statutory target and account for 36% of all Directors of
the Company, in order to improve the Company's operation and development and operation of corporate
governance practices.

2. Description of the policy, standards and packages of remunerations, procedure for making such decision and
relation to business performance:
(1) The Company's policy for remunerating its directors is formulated based on the Company Act and the
Company's Articles of Incorporation. The remuneration of directors for the current year shall be limited to an
amount not exceeding 1% of the current year's earnings and shall be paid in accordance with the Rules
Governing the Compensation of Directors and Functional Members of the Company. The Company's
operating strategy, profitability, future development and industry condition, as well as each director’s
participation in and contribution to the Company’s operation (such as serving on functional committees or
being invited to important business meetings), have also been taken into account in order to give them
reasonable remuneration. The Compensation Committee then submits a proposal, which is passed at a board
meeting before the policy takes effect.
(2) In order to ensure that the performance of managers is closely linked to the Company's strategy and that their
overall compensation is competitive, the Company has established the Regulations for the Evaluation of
Managerial Performance and Compensation as the basis for performance evaluation and compensation of
managers. The aforementioned regulations include policies, systems, standards and structures for
performance evaluation and compensation of managers, which shall be reviewed by the Compensation
Committee and submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. Manager's remuneration includes salary
and bonus: their salary is based on the Company's business strategy and profitability by taking into account
the manager's professional ability, scope of responsibility and market competitiveness; for the bonus, the
Company will take into account the results of individual performance evaluation, the reasonableness of the
link between its operating performance and future risks. However, if there is a significant risk event that
affects the Company's reputation, internal mismanagement, personnel malpractice and other risk events
attributable to any manager, the bonus payable to him/her will be reduced or cancelled. The manager's
performance evaluation structure consists of "results evaluation" and "function evaluation". After setting
targets at the beginning of the year, the management performance review is conducted quarterly and the
performance evaluation is conducted semi-annually. Such evaluation is based on, among others, the
achievement of profit targets, the improvement of organizational decision-making and execution capabilities,
the training of key leaders, and the implementation of CSR and corporate governance. The Compensation
Committee will make a proposal for such bonus and the Board of Directors will approve the same.
The said principles may be adjusted based on economic conditions, the Company's future development, and
profitability and operating risks.

4. Evaluation of achievement of enhancing the Board’s performance (e.g. establishing an Audit Committee and
increasing information transparency):
(1) Formulation of regulations related to the corporate governance: In addition to explicitly stating the powers
and duties of the Board of Directors in the company's articles of incorporation, the Company also follows
rules and regulations including the "Board of Directors Procedural Regulations", "Guidelines for the Ethical
Conduct of Directors and Managerial Officers", "Procedures for the Processing of Critical Internal
Information", "Corporate Governance Principles and Practice", "Corporate Management Integrity Principles",
"Behavioral Guidelines and Operation Procedures for Honest Practices", "Guidelines for the Ethical Conduct
of Employees", "Rules for Suggestions and Complaints from Related Parties", and "Practical Guidelines for
Corporate Social Responsibility" in order to strengthen operations of the Board of Directors as well as
corporate governance. In addition, in accordance with the latest laws and regulations, the "Corporate
Governance Best Practice Principles", "Procedures for Ethical Management and Guidelines for Conduct",
"Board of Directors Meeting Regulations", "Ethical Conduct Guidelines for Directors of the Board and
Managerial Officers", "Practical Guidelines for Corporate Social Responsibility", "Rules for Suggestions and
Complaints from Related Parties" and "Regulations for the Evaluation of the Board of Directors'
Performance" were amended and approved by the Board of Directors in 2021.
(2) Evaluation of the Performance of the Board of Directors: To implement corporate governance and enhance
the Company's board functions, and to set forth performance objectives to improve the operation efficiency
of the board of directors, the Rules of Performance Evaluation of the Board of Directors (these "Rules") were
established pursuant to the Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for TWSE/TPEx Listed Companies
and shall apply to the Board of Directors, functional committee and individual directors. These Rules were
established on October 28, 2015, and the most recent amendment to them was approved by the Board of
Directors on January 11, 2022. Each agenda working group shall provide a questionnaire for the board
members to complete in each December and provide the completed attachments and information related
to performance evaluation for the board members' reference.
The overall performance self-evaluation of our Board of Directors should cover at least the following five
major aspects:
A. Regarding external evaluation:
In 2018, the Company appointed Taiwan Corporate Governance Association ("TCGA"), an independent
third party with which the Company has no business dealings, to evaluate the effectiveness of its Board
of Directors. The evaluation was conducted by means of questionnaires and on-site interviews on eight
major aspects of the board of directors, including composition, guidance, authorization, supervision,
communication and self-regulation, as well as internal control and risk management. In 2021, the
Company again appointed TCGA to conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board of Directors
for the period from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020. Through the review of the professional
organization and the guidance of and communication with the evaluation members, the Company
obtained professional and objective evaluation results and recommendations. The results of the
evaluation were reported to the Board of Directors on January 11, 2022 and later disclosed on the
Company's official website.
The measures in response to the recommendations of the external evaluation institution in 2021 are as
follows:

B. Annual internal evaluation for 2021:
The 2021 Board of Directors' performance self-evaluation results go as follows:
(a) Board of Directors' overall average score 4.85 points (full score: 5 points)
(b) Board members' overall average score 4.94 points (full score: 5 points).
In December 2021, the Company conducted an internal annual board performance evaluation of the board
of directors, individual board members and functional committees in accordance with the evaluation
indicators and evaluation procedures specified in these Rules, and compiled and scored the data after the
questionnaires were collected, and made recommendations for improvement in 2021. This year, the
Company has made recommendations for improvement in the level of Directors' participation in the
Company's operations, as well as the follow-ups on the recommendations made by an external evaluation
institution in 2021, both of which were consolidated and reported to the Compensation Committee on
January 7, 2022 and the Board of Directors' meeting on January 11, 2022, the details of which were disclosed
on the Company's website.
(3) Implementing the performance evaluation of the functional committees: In accordance with the
"Regulations for the Evaluation of the Performance of the Board of Directors (including Functional
Committees) and their Remunerations" formulated by the Compensation Committee based on the latest
38
version published by the Competent Authority, our functional committees' members in December every year
evaluate themselves by the assessment indicators to measure the corporate leadership strategic directions
and oversee the corporate operational performance in an effort to improve shareholders' long-term value.
(4) Actively participating in corporate governance: In recent years, the Company has actively participated in the
promotion of the corporate governance and the transparency in information disclosure. Walsin Lihwa was
listed as the top 5% outstanding companies by four consecutive times of Corporate Governance Evaluation
from 2017 to 2020 (as of the date of publication hereof, the results of the 2021 Annual Corporate
Governance Review have not yet been published). The Company also received the Top 50 Sustainable
Business Award for the fourth consecutive year and the Platinum Corporate Sustainability Report Award for
the second time. The Company will continue making efforts to maintain among the top with respect to the
Corporate Governance Evaluation Results. The Company not only will continue to strive to actively
participate in the corporate governance evaluation, but also has formed a project to improve corporate
governance matters and enhance corporate governance capabilities.
The Company is committed to enhancing the transparency of information. In addition to announcing
financial information in accordance with laws and regulations, the Company also holds regular investor
conferences four times a year. Taking the initiative to solicit a credit rating in 2021, on August 6, 2021, the
Company was granted a long-term credit rating of 'twA-' and a short-term credit rating of 'twA-2' with a
'stable' outlook by Taiwan Ratings for the first time. The Company's financial structure was certified by an
external organization, and the disclosure of information to stakeholders was also enhanced through the
external release of credit ratings.
(5) Enhancing the board’s functions and decision-making quality: In order to bring into play the functions and
decision-making quality of the Board of Directors, our company regularly holds strategic meetings on a
quarterly basis to enable the directors to understand our financial and business conditions and the
formulation of major business strategies and the implementation of related plans. In addition, quarterly
operational meetings are also held to help directors understand the operational content through reporting
by operating units, so as to improve the performance of the Board of Directors. In the meantime, the
directors may provide their effective guidance out of their expertise and experience to the operating units
during such meetings.
(6) Heavy reliance on the independent directors’ functions: Authorizing independent directors to utilize their
own expertise and regularly participate in our company's investment assessment projects and matters
relevant to corporate governance. The Audit Committee was formally established by all independent
directors after the shareholders' meeting on May 26, 2017, and the Audit Committee of the second term
was formed by all independent directors on May 29, 2020; the Compensation Committee of the fourth term
was established on August 4, 2020, with all independent directors acting as its members. On November 1,
2019, the Board of Directors resolved to establish the Sustainable development committee, with the
Chairman, Vice Chairman and all independent directors serving as its members. On August 4, 2020, the
Chairman, Vice Chairman and all independent directors were appointed as members of the Sustainable
development committee of the second term of the Company. The first Nomination Committee was formally
established on August 6, 2021, with the Chairman and all Independent Directors acting as its members. These
four functional committees continue to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight responsibilities.
(7) Raising the transparency of corporate data: On the MOPS and our official website, we voluntarily disclose
the related law and regulations which we follow, the important resolutions adopted at Board meetings and
the relevant information to help shareholders understand our activities and to raise transparency in our
corporate information.

Companies and
reasons therefor
1."Illuminating the Corners of Taiwan":
The Company has initiated the 5-year sponsorship project "Illuminating the Corners of Taiwan" in the end of 2016 to
give back to society. The projects hopes to pay it forward by offering 5 elementary and junior high schools in rural
Taiwan with relatively low resources more comprehensive faculty, environment and equipment and to develop
characteristic physical and musical education. The second phase of the five-year plan will be launched in 2022 in
cooperation with five existing schools to continue to deepen the various incubation programs.
2.Long-Term Care for Children's Education:
The Company and its employees regularly sponsor 12 child welfare organizations, including World Vision Taiwan,
Taiwan Funds for Children and Families, Child Welfare League Foundation, the Lotus Heart Garden Nursery School in
Houbi District, and Chinese Childrenhome & Shelter Association, in a total of NT$1.6 million in 2021.
3."Baoshan Vegetation Project":
To promote cultivation of talents for conservation, collection and management of aboriginal Taiwan plant resources,
Walsin Lihwa cooperated with College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, National Chung Hsing University to install
a screen-house and an outdoors nursery, cultivate seedlings for afforestation applications and, environmental
education and promotion for conservation, and protect Taiwan's diverse protected animal and plant resources. In
order to focus on the contribution to and implementation of the project, starting from 2018, the Company and
Winbond Electronics Corporation cooperated to incorporate Huabao Seed Breeding Co., Ltd., responsible for
promoting Taiwan's forest germplasm conservation and indigenous plants revegetation projects. In 2021, we
implemented the related planning and technical training.
4.Support Local Agriculture
(1) Organic Kiwifruit Contract Farming:
In order to support environmental ecological conservation and the development of organic agriculture, for the first
time in 2021, we cooperated with "Jianghao Farm Young Farmers", contracted 800 square meters of farmland,
organically planted Taiwanese native kiwi fruit that is conducive to soil and water conservation, and took practical
actions to support local small farmers who cultivated in a friendly environment. .
(2) Support Mango Small Farmers:
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 has had a considerable impact on fruit farmers in southern Taiwan. In order to
support Taiwan's local agriculture and help small farmers overcome the pandemic, the Company and labor union
worked together to order 3,000 boxes of 18,000 kilograms of Aiwen mangoes from small farmers in Nanxi, Nanhua
and Baolai areas of Tainan and distributed the same to colleagues in Taiwan, in an effort to take care of local fruit
farmers in Tainan affected by the pandemic, and to express gratitude to our colleagues for their daily hard work.
(3) Order Taiwan Organic Mushrooms:
In order to support the local small farmers in Taiwan, the Employee Welfare Committee ordered organic mushrooms
from the farmers in Guanziling, Tainan before the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021, so that the local good taste might
be shared with colleagues, hoping to support the small farmers who produce environmentally friendly production
with actual purchase actions and to cheer for Taiwan agriculture!
5."Elementary and Junior High School Newspaper Reading Project":
Starting from 2014, this partnership between Mandarin Daily News sponsors newspapers for primary/junior high
schools in the counties and cities in Taiwan where our plants located. The school teachers led students to understand
the subjects of newspaper reports, and through interactive discussions, expanded their horizons and laid the
foundation for their language skills. In 2021, we sponsored 77 classes in 17 schools in New Taipei City, Taoyuan City,
Taichung City, Tainan City and Kaohsiung City, benefiting 1,197 students. Since 2019, Walsin, together with the Walsin
Technology Foundation and Mandarin Daily News, has launched a bilingual reading education program. In 2021, we
promoted this program in 822 classes in a total of 34 junior high schools in Taoyuan City and Kaohsiung City,
benefiting a total of 21,124 students. With the advantage of the English and Chinese bilingual texts in "Junior High
School Student Daily" offered by Mandarin Daily News, students' listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in
both Chinese and English improved and their interests in the world and reading were opened. In addition, we also
cooperated with Wen-Chang Elementary School, Yanshui District, Tainan City to organize newspaper reading games

whole school and make them understand various useful knowledge in their daily life through the game, with the
view to inspiring children's interest in learning through educational entertainment and visualization of knowledge.
6.Community Development and Promotion by Plants:
Each plant continues to support local cultural and activities, cares for the disadvantaged in the community, and
effectively uses plant resources to promote neighborhood development. In 2021, we continued to sponsor six
elementary schools in the Yanshui area of Tainan in the academic mentoring program and participated in 79 local civil
defense, cultural, folklore, respect for the elderly, care for women and children, and environmental cleanup activities,
as well as long-term adoption of nine roads and parks surrounding the plants for cleaning and making them greener.
7.Sponsor Lo-Sheng Sanatorium, MOHW to fight against the pandemic:
In the middle of 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has deteriorated dramatically. In view of the shortage of supplies for
pandemic prevention in medical institutions and the increasing demand for healthcare capacity, Walsin sponsored
NT$1.2 million to Lo-Sheng Sanatorium, MOHW to provide funds for the purchase of supplies and equipment, in the
hope of supporting front-line healthcare workers in their fight against the pandemic with practical actions.
8.Sponsor Electric Wire Materials in National Skills Competition held by the Workforce Development Agency
The Ministry of Labor organizes the National Skills Competition every year, provides a professional stage for the best
craftsmen in various occupations to compete on the same stage, and selects young craftsmen with excellent skills
from the competition to represent Taiwan in international skills competitions. The Hsinchuang Plant of Wire and
Cable Business Group sponsored the 51st National Skills Competition in the Industrial Control (Industrial Wiring)
category in September 2021, in a view to supporting the development of vocational training and technical vocational

(10) Implementation Status of Internal Control System
1. Statement on Internal Control
Walsin Lihwa Corporation
Statement on Internal Control System
Date: February 22, 2022
In 2021, the Company conducted an internal examination in accordance with its Internal Control Regulations
and hereby declares as follows:
1. The Company is aware that it is the Board’s and managers' responsibility to establish, implement and
maintain an internal control system, and the Company has set up such a system. The purpose of the system
is to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency (including profitability, performance and protection of assets)
of the Company's operations, compliance with relevant laws and regulations and that its financial
statements are reliable, up to date and easily accessible.
Internal control systems have their inherent limitations. No matter how well they are designed, an effective
internal control system can only reasonably ensure achievement of the three above objectives. In addition,
an internal control system's effectiveness may change as the environment and circumstances change. The
internal control system of the Company features a self-monitoring mechanism. Once identified, the
Company will take actions to rectify any deficiency.
2.
3. The Company determines whether the design and implementation of its internal control system is effective
by referring to the criteria stated in the Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems
by Public Companies (hereinafter the "Regulations"). The Regulations provides measures for judging the
effectiveness of the internal control system. There are five components of an internal control system, as
specified in the Regulations, which are broken down based on the management-control process, namely:
(1) control environment, (2) risk evaluation, (3) control operation, (4) information and communication and
(5) monitoring. Each of the elements in turn contains certain audit items. Refer to the Regulations for details.
4. The Company uses the above criteria to determine whether the design and implementation of its internal
control system is effective.
5. After an evaluation of the Company's internal control system based on the above criteria, the Company is
of the opinion that, as of December 31, 2021, its internal control system (including supervision and
management of subsidiaries) is effective and therefore can reasonably ensure achievement of the above
objectives, which include awareness of the degree to which operating results and goals are achieved,
compliance with the law and that its financial reporting is reliable, up to date and easily accessible.
6. This statement shall become a principal part of the Company's annual report and prospectus and be made
available to the public. Any illegal misrepresentation or omission relating to the public statement above is
subject to the legal consequences under Articles 20, 32, 171 and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Act.
7. This statement has been approved on February 22, 2022 by the Board, with none of the 11 Directors present
opposing it.

Chairman: Yu-Lon Chiao
President: Fred Pan
2. If CPAs are engaged to review the internal control system, their report shall be disclosed: None.

The share dividend policy of the Company should be stable for the purpose of its sustainable operation and
development. In case of any earnings on the final account, the Company shall allot as shareholder dividends no
lesser than 40% of the balance of such earnings after offsetting its loss, paying income tax, setting aside the

Fundraising Overview
2. Dividends Distribution to be proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting
According to the decision of the Company's 14th board meeting of the 19th term, cash dividends issued to
shareholders in 2021 shall be NT5,490,132,717, averaging NT$1.6 per share (which is calculated based on the
Company’s 3,431,332,948 issued and outstanding common shares).
This dividend issuance is approved by the 2022 Annual General Meeting, which authorized the chairman of the
board to determine the ex-dividend date and other details. In the future, if the Company issues or repurchases
shares, thereby influencing the amount of outstanding shares and changing the distributable cash dividend per
share, it is proposed that the shareholders meeting authorize the chairman of the board to adjust the number
of outstanding stocks on the ex-dividend date.
The smallest unit of the cash dividend is NT$1. Amounts smaller than NT$1 will be rounded down; the Company
will credit them as other income.
3. Explanation regarding expected major changes to dividend policy:
In order to ensure the stability of the financial structure and the principle of dividend equity, the Company's
2022 Annual General Meeting intends to amend Articles 28 and 28-1 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation,
so that the Board of Directors will be authorized to pay cash dividends by a special resolution, and that the
Company's dividend payout amount shall be calculated by excluding the share of the income generated by the
Company's affiliates but adding the cash dividends they distribute to the Company. Those articles are amended
as follows:
Article 28 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation:
After the Company has offset its accumulated losses from previous years and paid all tax due, the Company
shall set aside 10% of its net profits as legal reserve, except when the legal reserve equals to the total authorized
capital of the Company. From the remainder calculated above plus the surplus retained earnings of previous
year, the Company shall set aside or reverse the special reserve as stipulated by the law or the competent
authority. Then the Board of Directors shall draft an earning distribution proposal submitted to the
Shareholders' meeting for resolution to distribute shareholder's dividends. If the aforementioned distribution
of earnings is made in cash, the Board of Directors shall be authorized to distribute the earnings with the
presence of at least two-thirds of the Directors and the resolution of a majority of the Directors present, and to
report the distribution to the shareholders' meeting.
The setting aside of the legal reserve set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Article should be based on the "the total
amount of after-tax net income for the period and other profit items adjusted to the current year's undistributed
earnings other than after-tax net income for the period."
Article 28-1 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation:
The share dividend policy of the Company should be stable for the purpose of sustainable operation and
development .In case of any earnings on the final account, the Company shall allot as shareholder dividends no
lesser than 40% of the balance of such earnings after offsetting its loss, paying income tax, setting aside the
legal reserve, and setting aside the special reserve as adjusted based on the net decrease in other shareholders'
equity as stipulated in Article 28 hereof, as well as deducting the share of the affiliates' interests recognized by
equity method and adding the cash dividends paid out by the affiliates to the Company recognized by equity
method. Such dividends shall be distributed in cash or in form of shares; cash dividends shall not be lesser than
70% of the total dividends. To ensure the stability of the financial structure, and based on the principle of
equitable dividend payout, the Company has no earnings to distribute or has earnings but the amount of
earnings is significantly less than the actual earnings distributed previously, the Company may distribute all or
part of the reserves or the undistributed earnings in the previous period .If there is a non-recurring, material
income in the Company's earnings for the year, all or a part of such income may be retained without being
subject to the percentage limitation set forth in Paragraph 1 hereof.(7) Effect of the proposed stock dividends

Fundraising Overview
6. Mergers, acquisitions or issuance of new shares for acquisition of shares of other companies:
(a)
If the Company has completed any merger or acquisition or assumed new shares issued by other
companies in the most recent year and up to the date of this annual report, the following should be disclosed:
The following is the assessment opinion of Yuanta Securities Co., Ltd., the lead securities underwriter, for the most recent quarter:
Walsin Lihwa Corporation ("Walsin") issued new shares to acquire the newly issued common shares of TECO Electric and Machinery
Co., Ltd. ("TECO") in 2020. This share swap has been reported to the Financial Supervisory Commission via the letter (Ref. No. Jing-
Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi-1090377120) dated December 16, 2020, and the change of corporate registration was completed on January
14, 2021, with January 6, 2021 as the record date for the share swap. In accordance with Subparagraph 8, Paragraph 1, Article 9 of
the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, Walsin requested us, the lead securities
underwriter, to issue an opinion on the impact of the issuance of new shares as the consideration of the assumption of shares of
TECO on the finance, business and shareholders' equity of Walsin as of the first quarter of 2021.
1. Impact on the issuer's business
Among the core businesses of Walsin, the wire and cable business includes copper wires, power cables, communication cables
and stainless steel materials produced by it are widely used in power transmission, telecommunication networks, transportation,
industrial production and other infrastructure projects, while TECO's main businesses are various types of machinery and
equipment, power generation and distribution machinery and electrical appliances for use in server rooms, renewable energy
(including offshore wind power) and energy storage, integrated development projects, public works and transportation projects,
medical biotechnology and factories. Both parties have their own niche and market segmentation in terms of product categories
and sales channels. This strategic cooperation will not only cultivate the professional fields of both parties, but also enable the
integration of group resources and cross-marketing to achieve complementary effects in customer marketing and product lines,
provide more diversified and complete products and services to customers of both parties, enhance the market presence and
brand value of both parties, and strive for more cooperation opportunities with major global manufacturers to improve overall
competitiveness. Overall, the share swap will help enhance the business of both parties, and the various benefits are expected to
lead to a good performance for both parties after the share swap.
2. Impact on the issuer's finance
The assumption of TECO's shares through the issuance of new shares by Walsin is intended to seek a long-term and stable
partnership through mutual investment. It is expected that this alliance will combine the expertise of both parties through their
long-standing experience in technology and understanding of the market, and provide integration of existing R&D resources to
avoid excessive learning costs. By jointly using and sharing development resources and combining the strengths of both
companies, they will be able to expand the market and enhance their overall operating performance and profitability. In addition,
due to TECO's good operations and profitability, Walsin may receive dividend income by acquiring its equity interest through the
share swap. Therefore, this share swap alliance should have positive financial benefits to Walsin. Dividend income for 2021 was
approximately NT$260 million (including dividend income from the assumption of new shares issued and the acquisition of shares
in the centralized stock exchange).
116
3. Impact on the issuer's shareholders' equity
The strategic alliance between Walsin and TECO is a share swap to establish a close partnership, rather than a merger or
acquisition, and they may still retain their respective areas of expertise so that they may continue to cultivate their vertical markets.
In addition, with the complementary sharing of marketing resources and full cooperation, they will integrate the resources of
each other's enterprises to give full play to the complementary effect of customer marketing and product lines and increase the
economic scale benefits, which will expand the scale of their operation and enhance their overall operational performance,
strengthen the competitiveness of their industries, and create positive value for their shareholders. Overall, it is expected that this
share swap will help to enhance the operations and profitability of both parties and create maximum corporate value for their
shareholders, which should be conducive to creating competitive advantages for both parties and enhancing their shareholders'
equity in the future.
4. Whether the benefits of the assumption of shares are apparent
The strategic alliance between Walsin and TECO is a share swap to establish a close partnership, and they may still retain their
respective areas of expertise so that they may continue to cultivate their vertical markets. In addition, with the complementary
sharing of marketing resources and full cooperation, they will integrate the resources of each other's enterprises to give full play
to the complementary effect of customer marketing and product lines and increase the economic scale benefits, which should
be conducive to their overall operational performance and profitability. The benefits of this share swap will gradually be realized
as a result.
(b) If the Board of Directors has resolved to issue new shares through merger, acquisition or assumption of shares of
other companies in the most recent year and up to the date of this annual report, the implementation status and
basic information of the merged or assumed companies should be disclosed.
1. The implementation status of the issuance of new shares through merger or assumption of shares of other

(2) Industry overview
1. The current status and development of the industry
(1) Wire and Cable Business
According to forecast report issued by the International Copper Study Group (ICSG), global copper
production increased by 2.5% year-on-year from January to November 2021 and is forecast to reach 21.34
million tonnes for the year 2021, mainly due to an 8.5% year-on-year increase in Peru, the second largest
copper producer, and a 50% increase in Indonesia, driven by newly commissioned capacity, and 11%, 66%
and 9% increases in the Congo, Panama and Mainland China respectively. Refined copper production
increased by 1.3% year-on-year from January to November 2021 and is forecast to reach 24.83 million
tonnes for the year 2021, while refined copper consumption increased by 0.6% year-on-year from January
to November 2021 and is forecast to reach 25.15 million tonnes for the year 2021, leaving a supply/demand
gap of 320,000 tonnes. As global demand for copper continues to increase, with particular focus on future
copper demand in the renewable energy sector, Chinese copper smelters continue to expand their
production capacity. China's refined copper production has exceeded 10 million tonnes for 2 consecutive
years, reaching an annual record high of 10.49 million tonnes in 2021, according to the data published by
the National Bureau of Statistics of China.
Mainland China is the world's largest copper consumer, and its annual sales of copper rods are increasing
year by year. According to the statistical analysis report released by the International Wrought Copper
Council (IWCC), the sales volume of copper rods in China reached 8.97 million tonnes in 2021, an annual
increase of 4.2%. The annual sales volume of copper rods in Taiwan has increased significantly in the past
two years. In 2020, the annual sales volume of copper rods was about 360,000 tonnes, an annual increase
of 8.5%, and in 2021, the sales volume of copper rods from January to June increased by 8.3% year-on-year,
with the estimated annual sales volume for 2021 about 390,000 tonnes. The largest demand in China's
power cable industry came from purchases from The State Grid Corporation of China (State Grid). According
to the market information memorandum provided by IWCC, it is likely that the impact of the pandemic has
delayed many projects to 2021, and the total amount of purchases by State Grid as of the end of the third
quarter of 2021 was close to the total amount of purchases in 2020. State Grid will still place large orders in
the fourth quarter 2021. It is estimated that the procurement volume in 2021 will break away from the
decline in 2020 and rebound from the trough to the level of 2019.
The market structure of Taiwan's wire and cable industry is mainly domestic sales, supplemented by foreign
sales. According to the Department of Statistics of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan's wire and cable
production in 2021 is estimated as 240,000 tonnes, an increase of 4.6% over the previous year, of which
production for domestic sales was approximately 220,000 tonnes, an increase of 3.7% over the previous
year. Taiwan market benefits from the regional supply chain integration, part of the industry supply chains
back to Taiwan to invest in plant construction, and the government's three major programs for investments
in Taiwan; therefore, a total of 1,176 businesses has passed the review process, in the total investment
120
amount of about NT$1.65 trillion, with the increasingly popular plant construction projects that have
increased the demand for power cables. The Taiwanese government continues to actively promote green
energy policies, attracting a large number of solar power and offshore wind power related construction.
During the pandemic, countries worldwide provided relaxed fiscal policies to drive consumer demand,
resulting in an increase in the number of residential, commercial office and public works cases, and thus the
overall market demand rebounded.
(2) Stainless Steel Business
According to International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF), global stainless crude steel production is estimated
at 57 million tonnes in 2011. Countries around the world are gradually relaxing their epidemic control
policies, driving economic recovery and growth in steel supply and demand. The largest steel production
region was Mainland China, which produced 31.8 million tonnes of crude stainless steel, up by 5% from
2020, while Asia (excluding Mainland China and Korea) produced 7.7 million tonnes, Europe 7.2 million
tonnes and the Americas 2.4 million tonnes, up by 20%, 14% and 14% respectively from 2020.
In terms of the structure of stain less steel products, the output of plate products in 2021 was 43 million
tonnes (consisting of HR coil of 8 million tonnes (19%) and CR coil of 3.5 million tonnes (81%)), accounting
for 84% of the total output, and the output of long steel products was 8.2 million tonnes, accounting for
16% of the total output. Among the long steel products, the output of HR bars, wire rods and small steel
embryos were 3.5, 2.7, and 2 million tonnes respectively, accounting for 43%, 33%, and 24% of the output
of the long products respectively.
About 50% of the end-use applications of long steel products are used for industrial production (such as
machined parts), 21% for industrial production (e.g. machined parts), 16% for consumer durable goods and
10% for transportation. The top five long-strip stainless steel companies around the world by output are
Tsingshan, Jiangsu Delong, Walsin Lihwa, Viraj and Swiss Steel. (The above output figures are based on the
data from the research report for 2021 published by SMR, a marketing agency, and the estimates provided
by Walsin.)
The increase in production capacity in recent years has been concentrated in China and Indonesia, led by
the world's largest steel plant, Tsingshan Group, with an annual production capacity of over 10 million
tonnes. In addition, Jiangsu Delong is also expanding its production capacity, and with successive mergers
and alliances among Baosteel, Wuhan Iron and Steel, Taiyuan Iron and Steel, Shagang (which will cooperate
with Beihai Chengde), more 10 million tonnes steel maker groups will emerge in the future.
Benefiting from its cost advantage thanks to RKEF integration, Tsingshan and Jiangsu Delong’s low-cost
products marched into the market; Baowu Steel Group entered the Indonesian nickel iron market; Beihai
Chengde takes the advantage of its own nickel iron production capacity and cooperates with the Philippine
nickel miners; therefore, steel groups in the northern and southern parts of China are working together to
compete those in the middle part of China.
(4) Commodity Business
Global nickel pig iron production capacity is mainly concentrated in Mainland China and Indonesia. In 2020,
due to Indonesia's ban on ore exports, the movement of the nickel pig iron industry chains from Mainland
China to Indonesia accelerated, and Indonesia has become the world's largest nickel pig iron producer. In
2021, global nickel pig iron production capacity reached 1.98 million tonnes of nickel and the production
reached 1.32 million tonnes of nickel, with the production capacity up by 16.2% compared with 2020 and
121
Business Overview
the production up by 18.9% compared with 2020. Among them, total nickel pig iron production in Mainland
China was 435,000 tonnes of nickel, down by 16% from 2020, mainly due to the impact of raw material
supply restrictions and the dual control of energy consumption; total nickel pig iron production in Indonesia
was 885,000 tonnes of nickel, up by 48.7% from 2020.
In 2022, China's nickel pig iron production will continue to be limited by the decline in imported nickel ore
grade and the uneconomic production caused by the dual control of energy consumption. In Indonesia, new
capacity is expected to be added at a faster pace as the disruptions from the epidemic are expected to fade
and local infrastructure such as power supply is expected to become complete. Global nickel pig iron
production capacity is expected to increase to 2.74 million tonnes of nickel this year, with production
increasing to 1.56 million tonnes of nickel.
(5) Commercial Real Estate Business
In 2021, the total commercial residential sales area in Nanjing exceeded 12.34 million square meters, setting
a new 5-year high, up by over 20% from 2020. The average transaction price exceeded RMB 28,400 per
square meter, a significant increase of over 10% compared to 2020. The renovation package (not included
in price statistics) policy that has been implemented since 2020 became the norm for transactions in the
first three quarters of 2021, effectively raising the actual transaction prices of popular properties in the core
area and increasing the profits of developers. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the growth momentum and
activity of real estate transactions were significantly dampened due to a series of debt defaults by private
real estate developers such as Evergrande. This also brings new development opportunities for strong, cash-
flow-rich enterprises.

Business Overview
3. Product development trends and competition
(1) Wire and Cable Business
Development trend: In response to international net-zero emissions and the current energy policy of the
Taiwan government, the pragmatic path for Taiwan's transition to net-zero 2050 is to increase natural gas,
reduce coal combustion, and develop renewable energy to meet the increasing demand for green power
from domestic industries, while maintaining a stable power supply and taking into account the country's
competitiveness, which is so called "low carbon first, and then zero carbon". According to the information
provided by the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, the installed capacity of renewable energy
reached 10.7GW in September 2021, an increase of 128% compared to 2016, among which solar energy has
grown significantly, with a 450% increase in power generation in 2021 compared to 2016. In addition,
countries around the world, driven by the net zero transformation trend, are committed to the
development of new energy vehicles, among which the largest producing and selling and fastest growing
regions are Europe and China. Europe is the region with the highest adoption rate of new energy vehicles.
According to the report released by Canalys, in 2021, new energy vehicles accounted for 19% of the total
vehicle sales, and Europe's cumulative sales of 2.3 million vehicles were the second largest in the world,
with an annual growth rate of 61%. According to the latest data from the China Association of Automobile
Manufacturers, China sold 3.52 million vehicles in 2021, accounting for about half of the world's sales, with
an annual growth rate of 168%. According to the information from the Motor Vehicles Office, the new
energy vehicle market in Taiwan has also grown, with the total sales volume of new energy vehicles
increasing by 42% in 2021. In addition, countries worldwide also continue to optimize the supporting
environment for the development of new energy vehicle industry and accelerate the construction of
charging stations, charging piles, power exchange stations, power battery recovery service network and
other infrastructure. In this context, the demand for cables is increasing, and the cable industry is following
this wave to develop cables, related products and services for the green energy industry.
Competition: From the historical output of Taiwan's power cable market, there is an oversupply of capacity
in the overall cable market and competition is relatively fierce. However, benefited from the regional supply
chain integration of Taiwan businessmen back to Taiwan to drive the demand for plant expansion, and a
large number of residential, commercial office and public works projects, coupled with the government's
active promotion of green energy policy, market demand continues to grow.
(2) Stainless Steel Business
Development trend: After more than 100 years of development, the nature of the stainless steel industry is
not easy to make breakthrough changes. In recent years, we have seen many cases of upstream deployment
and process adjustment to reduce costs, such as the Indonesian industry connecting the RKEF production
line to the AOD to achieve the lowest cost benefit by hot iron water delivery. In terms of product
development, apart from actively developing nickel-free steel grades, major stainless steel makers are also
developing the most suitable materials for specific applications. For example, in response to the demand
for automation, the demand for wear-resistant, high-precision and zero-defect materials has increased. In
the past, key technologies were held in Japan, Europe and other countries, but Asian steel makers have also
continued to invest in research and development in recent years, and to refine their own technological
capabilities. At the same time, with the rising awareness of environmental protection, stainless steel is more
widely used in various fields, and there are many cases of replacing carbon steel with stainless steel in the
construction, transportation and other industries. In the renewable energy industry, stainless steel
components can also be found in wind turbines and renewable energy vehicles.
Competition: Global stainless steel demand will return to normal growth after a sharp rebound in 2021.
124
Indonesian steel mills will dominate the Asian market with the advantage of low-cost raw materials; with
the promotion of carbon emission control policy in Mainland China, the steel mills have shifted from
incremental to value-added and started to consolidate with the strategy of eliminating the weak and leaving
the strong; the rest of the steel makers will focus on niche industrial applications with high certification
thresholds to add value to their products through end-use differentiation.
(3) Commodity Business
Development trend: Stainless steel plants in Mainland China and Indonesia are expanding their
production capacity, and the demand for nickel pig iron and scrap steel will continue to rise, while
nickel pig iron in Indonesia has a cost advantage and is economical for downstream steel plants. In the
following years, there will still be new manufacturers entering Indonesia to invest in RKEF production
line.
Competition: Indonesia's RKEF production lines have grown significantly since 2021 and will continue
to open up significant capacity. In addition to continuing to provide additional stainless steel
production capacity in Indonesia, the production lines will also make up for the possible decline in
nickel pig iron supply in China. In addition, in response to the continuous growth of the new energy
industry chain, some of the RKEF production lines have started to change their processes to make their
output more flexible, so that they can flexibly switch between iron pig nickel and ice-nickel and that
the market supply and demand can be in dynamic balance.
(4) Commercial Real Estate Business
Development Trends: Nanjing's real estate industry has shown a trend of comprehensive development in
the past five years, with large-scale development around the city and the expansion of the city to the
suburbs and suburban counties, bringing a continuous increase in the city's population, industrial
development, infrastructure investment and overall economic capacity. The focus of development in the
city center area is still on high quality and large volume complexes, the integration of commercial, office
and residential multi-styles, and on experiential and interactive products. Children's playground, catering,
leisure, entertainment and other experiential consumption become the focus of business revenue. In terms
of residential property, high-end and even top-tier blocks continue to be the main development trend,
driving the continuous upgrading of urban living quality, while in terms of office property, landmark
international Grade A offices lead the development of high-end business areas.
Competition: The central part of the city is the focus of the real estate market, where land supply has always
been rare and projects have been launched relatively rarely. After a major reshuffle in the real estate
industry in the second half of 2021, a number of enterprises with high gearing and insufficient cash flow will
be eliminated, and the industry pattern will further develop in the direction of "stronger is stronger". Stable
and strong companies with low gearing and strong cash flow will have more advantages and opportunities
in acquiring new development projects.

stainless steel billet, cold- and hot-rolled steel coils, wire rods, cold finished bars, seamless steel pipe and
precision roll bonding steel. The main sales regions include Taiwan, Mainland China, Korea, Southeast Asia,
Australia, Europe and North America, etc. Our stainless steel wire rod and cold finished bars occupy a
significant position on the global market and we offer customers optimal lead times and services with sales
offices distributed across the Taiwan Strait, a vertically integrated supply chain and a standardized
production process.
Sales of stainless steel products made by the Company in Taiwan amounted to 643,000 tonnes in 2021. The
Company's domestic market shares reach 70% (wire rods), 30% (hot-rolled steel coils), 35% (cold-rolled steel
coils) and 30% (cold finished bars); the Company’s global market shares are 9% (wire rods), 8% (hot-rolled
steel coils) and 3% (cold finished bars).
Note: The foreign market shares are estimated only in respect of the territories to which we sell products
and the available specifications.
(3) Commodity Business
Our RKEF production lines will be completed and started in 2021. We produce nickel pig iron, the upstream
raw material for stainless steel manufacturing, which is mainly supplied to local steel mills in Indonesia for
smelting stainless steel. Sales of nickel pig iron in 2021 were 114,000 tonnes, with full production and sales.
According to SMM's research report, the Company's 2021 nickel pig iron production accounted for
approximately 1.6% of Indonesia's total production.
In terms of agency service, the Company has been acting as an agent for the sales of Indonesia Tsingshan
since May 2020, and the products we sell as an agent are mainly stainless steel products such as stainless
steel billets, slabs and hot rolled steel coils. The main sales targets are Taiwan and Taiwan-invested overseas
enterprises, with the aim of maintaining the international competitiveness of Taiwan's stainless steel plate
products and promoting the overall efficiency of the value chain of the stainless steel industry. The Company
received about 680,000 tonnes of orders in 2020 and about 980,000 tonnes in 2021, mainly because the
recent geopolitical and supply chain instability have caused the switching effect, forcing Taiwan
manufacturers' sales to further increase the demand for raw materials.
(4) Real Estate Business
In 2021, the area of business land transactions in Nanjing was 8.226 million square meters, down by 21.6%
year-on-year. However, the total transaction amount of RMB207.4 billion was a record high, up by 2% over
2020. The development scale of Walsin Centro in Nanjing Hexi is 1 million square meters, and the finished
130
residential units have been sold out. The commercial shopping center has been successfully opened and
operated. Currently, the main products are the opening and operation of Office Building No. 1 and the
design and planning of Office Building No. 2.
2. Overview of supply and demand and projected growth
(1) Wire and Cable Business
According to the global copper production forecast by the International Copper Study Group (ICSG), global
copper supply will grow by about 3.9% in 2022. In terms of refined copper production, ICSG expects refined
copper production to grow by 3.9% in 2022. In terms of the refined copper sales, the expected continued
recovery of the world economy will benefit the copper end-use sector and help sustain growth in copper
demand, with refined copper consumption forecast to grow by 2.4% in 2022.
With The strong demand for infrastructure in China after the pandemic of COVID 19, total power cable
purchases from the national grid are recovering, and demand for copper and cable construction in the green
energy, electrical appliance, and electronic semiconductor industries remains strong, which supports
copper prices at a high level, meaning demand for cable-related products is expected to be strong. In Taiwan,
in view of the global supply chain shift and changes in the international situation, the government considers
that there is still a demand for Taiwanese businesses to return to Taiwan for investment, and in order to
maintain the strength of private investment and encourage manufacturers to upgrade and transform
intelligently, and in line with the government's goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the Executive
Yuan has approved to extend the period of acceptance of the Action Plan for Welcoming Taiwan Businesses
to Invest in Taiwan to 2024 for those businesses that are gradually implementing carbon emission reduction.
The government is actively promoting green energy policies such as offshore wind power and solar
photovoltaic, and Taipower is scheduled to issue corporate bonds of over NT$100 billion in 2022 for the
construction of offshore wind power and green power facilities. The overall bond issuance amount will be
a record high compared to the actual issuance of NT$62.1 billion in 2021. Taipower will start four major
projects in 2022, including the first phase of transmission and substation project in the Southern District,
the renovation of the Dahlin Power Plant, the first phase of Green Energy (160MW of renewable energy will
be added by 2025), and the new construction of the Baoshan ultra-high voltage substation, as well as the
current plan to add many new units, which will boost the demand for cable and lead to good visibility of
future orders.
(2) Stainless Steel Business
It is estimated that the global stainless steel production will reach 57 million tons in 2021, an increase of
12% compared to 2020. The low base period led to a relatively high increase due to the decline in steel
production in the early stage affected by the epidemic control measures. However, with the epidemic
slowing down and the market demand growth returning to normal, it is estimated that the global stainless
steel production will grow by about 3% to 4% in 2022.
In addition, Mainland China is still the world's largest supplier, producing over 31.78 million tons in 2021,
accounting for 56% of global production. However, production growth is expected to slow down in the
future due to the impact of the carbon emission control policy in Mainland China. The main growth will be
found in Indonesia, which will grow from the current 5 million tons to 10 million tons.
(3) Commodity Business
According to SMM's research report, Indonesia's nickel pig iron production will increase by 280,000 tons of
nickel in 2022, which will compensate for the reduction of nickel pig iron production in Mainland China due
to the dual control of energy consumption. Local stainless steel production in Indonesia continues to expand,
with an estimated 2 million tons of new production, which will also consume new nickel pig iron output.
The proportion of stainless steel production using nickel pig iron is expected to continue to rise despite the
continued opening of nickel production lines in Indonesia. In addition, the demand for nickel for batteries
131
Business Overview
continues to rise, and the production process of nickel pig iron to high ice nickel may shift part of the nickel
pig iron production capacity to high ice nickel, and the supply and demand of nickel pig iron is expected to
be in the process of dynamic balance. In terms of agency services, it is estimated that the supply chain
anomalies will ease in 2022, and the volume of stainless steel imports from Taiwan is expected to decrease
by 10% and return to normal. The cost advantage of Indonesia, the cancellation of export tax rebates and
tax increases in Mainland China, and other uncertain factors are expected to lead to a high dependence on
Indonesian stainless steel imports in the future.
(4) Real Estate Business
Nanjing Jiangyou District is building a Yuantong shopping district centered on the Yuantong subway station
to create a "demonstration area of international consumer center city". With the completion of nine super-
high-rise buildings around the central park of Hexi, Yuantong is becoming the business office center with
the highest standard of construction and the largest number of new projects in Nanjing, and the position of
the Jiangyou District and the business center of Hexi in the urban structure of Nanjing has become more
solid. After becoming a financial center, the core area of Yuantong will also become the center of business
offices and commercial consumption in Nanjing.
Looking ahead to the development of Walsin Centro, the opening of No. One Office Building will bring new
opportunities for Walsin Centro projects and establish Walsin's position as the first tier and leading brand
in Nanjing's quality business office industry. The arrival of many headquarters-type office enterprises in the
future will provide stable rental income and bring sufficient customer flow and stable consumption to the
shopping center of One Mall, thus promoting the steady development of the real estate sector.

The above-mentioned defects have been corrected and improved and have been reviewed and documented by
regulatory authorities. The Company will continue to enhance its environmental management around its factories.
We also plan to prevent the recurrence of violation via internal control, environmental education & training, as
well as our annual KPI evaluation system.
(2) Future response measures (including improvement measures) and possible expenses:
Despite the large amount of manpower, materials and funding invested in environmental protection to comply
with international benchmarks over the years, Walsin Holdings was still fined for pollution. To keep pollution under
adequate control, the Company requires factories in Taiwan and overseas to step up self-regulation to avoid
human errors and to implement economically feasible environmental management projects. Internal audit and
environmental education & training (including regulatory identification) will also be applied to assist in reinforcing
self-regulation and horizontal development at various factories. Environmental
investment plans and
management measures are as follows:
1. Obtained ISO-14001 certification for system management:
In line with international environmental conventions, factories in both Taiwan (Hsinchuang plant 1, Hsinchuang
plant 2, Yangmei plant, Taichung plant and Yanshui plant) and mainland China (Shanghai Walsin Lihwa Power
Wire & Cable plant, Nanjing plant, Jiangyin plant, Yantai plant and Changshu plant) have all obtained
"Environmental Management System" certification. In order to ensure the operational effectiveness of Walsin's
environmental management system, the Company hired a professional consulting team in 2017 to instruct 10
domestic and overseas factories to transition to ISO 14001:2015. Basic operation for ISO 45001 was also
introduced as a pilot program, as environmental protection and vocational safety & health management system
are integrated into a universal operating model across the entire group while on-site guidance is also provided.
Consistency in documentation and stability in system operation are required of these factories. Through
educational training at various factories, the spirit of the management system is deeply ingrained in actual
factory operation after multiple training sessions focusing on topics ranging from regulatory interpretation to
actual operation. Furthermore, with a proactive attitude, we will continue to improve our overall environmental
141
Business Overview
protection efforts and vocational safety & health condition. We will strive to enhance environmental
performance, reduce environmental
international
competitiveness. Walsin has completed the integration and version conversion of its management system at all
of its factories at home and abroad in 2018, with the certificates being valid for three years. The relevant
certificate documents are placed in the document management section of Walsin Lihwua website
image and boost our
improve corporate
loss,
2. Air pollution management:
Comply with the air pollution control laws in Taiwan and in China and apply for permits for fixed (atmospheric)
pollution source ranges that are progressively announced. The various plants in Taiwan and in China have
obtained operating (emission of pollutants) permits for various manufacturing processes and facilities, reducing
atmospheric emissions.
3. Greenhouse gas emission and campaign for reduction:
To counter climate change and global warming, reduction in greenhouse gas emission is a necessary measure.
GHGs inventories provide compliance basis for efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emission.
Since 2015, the Company has established the "Safe Environment Information Platform--the ability to conduct
GHGs inventories and to calculate carbon emission for products" to collect greenhouse gas emissions at home
and abroad. Through continuous review every year and smart system management, the Company keeps
optimizing its greenhouse gas emissions. Through the electronic system, we can grasp the current year's
quarterly emissions and compare them with the same period last year, and further produce the trend graph for
the quarterly meeting of the Environmental, Safety and Health Management Committee to review the carbon
emissions regularly, so as to effectively review and manage the Company's carbon emissions. In addition, in
order to improve the company-wise operation of the greenhouse gas control system, we also plan to promote
the implementation of ISO 14064-1 in each plant. In 2015, our Taichung and Yanshui plants in Taiwan have
obtained ISO 14064-1 certification, and the latest certificates and expiration dates are regularly posted on our
CSR website every August. Hsinchuang, Yangmei, Taichung, and Yanshui Plants have also obtained the new
version of ISO 14064:2018 certification in 2021, and at the same time, we plan to promote the introduction of
ISO 14064-1 in overseas plants and obtain such certification in 2022. At the same time, we are also actively
participating in overseas carbon emission trading to integrate into China’s carbon trading market, which can not
only ensure that the Company has sufficient carbon allowance in the future, but also promote measures such
as energy conservation through advanced technology, thereby laying a good foundation for the Company's long-
term operation and development.

4. Wastewater treatment:
The wastewater from each of Walsin Lihwa's plants has been properly treated and discharged through
wastewater treatment facilities in the plant site and the wastewater quality testing has been regularly
conducted to avoid the impact of wastewater discharge on the environment. Management at source is most
important in water conservation. Based on water quality characteristics, the treatment procedures were
designed and recycling units were installed, so the wastewater has been discharged to nearby rivers according
to regulations or piped to recycling units in order to effectively use limited water resources. Each plant site has
adjusted equipment and process to reduce water consumption and improve wastewater recycling system, so
as to enhance the recycling ratio of the process water.
The average pollutant concentration in wastewater discharged by the factories in 2021 met the effluent criteria.
The recycling ratio of Taiwan plants reached as high as 94%.
5. Strict control of industrial waste:
Walsin Lihwa upholds the idea of circular economy; therefore, the 4Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle and recovery)
have constituted the foundation for our company's waste production and control. The overall waste recycling
rate of Walsin copper wire, wire and cable and stainless steel reached 96.84%, of which the non-hazardous
waste recycling rate was 98.10% to 99.03%; hazardous waste was 77.77% to 99.48%. Except for some of the
waste produced by self-recycling and reuse, the rest are entrusted to qualified manufacturers for removal,
treatment or reuse. In 2021, the output of waste in Taiwan and overseas factories decreased by 19% compared
with 2020; in 2021, for the Taiwan plants, the waste recycling rate of harmful waste increased by 0.1% compared
with 2020, mainly because all the waste acid from Yanshui Plant was transported to the Taichung Plant for waste
acid treatment and reuse and process improvement and adjustment, thereby reducing the output of dust
collection ash and sludge, and the landfill rate in Taiwan and overseas regions is maintained at <1% target. For
its stainless steel ballast, the Company is committed to the basic research and innovative application of
diversified resources. From the beginning to the present, a total of about 210,000 tonnes of oxide ballast and
nearly 60,000 tonnes of reduced ballast have been resourced. The potential products developed through the
above means include engineering aggregate, cement raw material admixtures, fiber reinforced cement boards,
and indoor high-pressure bricks. Aside from continuing to promote source reduction of waste and recycling of
waste in the plant, the Company will, in conjunction with the strength of the overall supply chain, reduce the
amount of raw materials and reduce the harm that production may bring to the environment. The Company
will implement the circular economy concept by innovating the environmental protection technology. In
addition to continuously strengthening the sustainable growth, the Company has established strict control and
auditing mechanisms for waste flow and screening of qualified vendors to ensure that waste flows are proper
and legal.

6. Improving energy use efficiency:
Walsin Lihwa upholds the business philosophy of "Green Manufacturing, Happy Enterprise and Sustainable
Management". In addition to committing to quality management, pollution prevention, environmental
protection, safety and health, our company adopts "Enhancing energy efficiency and promoting clean energy"
as its energy management guidelines to fulfill its social responsibility in energy conservation and carbon
reduction. We aggressively incorporate energy-saving equipment, efficient technologies, environment-friendly
facilities and environmental protection designs and green process into promoting improvement of energy
efficiency at source. In response to the governments' energy policies and measures, we educate our employees
about energy conservation and inventory the energy consumed by equipment and facilities to seek
opportunities for improving our energy performance and to also effectively implement our energy saving plans.
7. Energy conservation and carbon reduction:
Energy saving and carbon reduction has become the most concerned issue in the international community. To
reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and to improve production efficiency and
competitiveness have been the objectives that the Company are striving for. Since 2015, Walsin Lihwa has set
up an energy saving and carbon reduction management organization in each plant, set annual targets and
various energy saving and carbon reduction measures, and held regular meetings to review and set up an energy
management E-system for real-time management. There are four plants in Taiwan that are required to file
annual energy returns, and all of them have met the 1% requirement of the competent authorities, with an
average electricity saving rate of 2.71%, higher than the 1% target value set by the Energy Bureau. In 2021, the
total energy saving rate of Taiwan and China plants reached 1.76%, and a total of 82 carbon reduction plans
were proposed, with a total carbon reduction of 8,086.13 metric tons of CO2e/year. Taiwan plant saved
approximately NT$33,785,571 and the overseas plants saved approximately RMB547,777 and MYR44,097
In addition, in order to effectively manage the efficiency of energy use, the Environmental Safety and Health
Management Committee has developed a five-year energy management plan, the goal of continuous annual
energy savings and carbon reduction of 1% since 2020, and is expected to effectively reduce environmental
pollution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, so that energy can be used reasonably and most efficiently to
meet the challenges of climate change.

5. Retirement system:
To provide job security to employees, the Company has established a retirement system pursuant to regulatory
requirements with specific measures as follow:
(1) Established a "Pension Oversight Committee" in 1986, whereby workers' pension funds are deposited
monthly into a pension account at the Bank of Taiwan.
(2) The Company has commissioned external consultants to prepare a pension fund actuarial report annually
since 1994 and set aside a pension reserve fund each month based on the actuarial report in order to satisfy
pension applications made by employees eligible for retirement.
(3) In line with the implementation of the new pension system in 2005, the company has continued the issuance
of the pension fund to retired employees who have elected to receive the pension under the old system. As
for employees adopting the new system, 6% of their salary will be monthly withdrawn as retirement pension
and deposited into each employee's personal account at Labor Insurance Bureau. Employees may voluntarily
contribute within the 6% to satisfy personal demand in retirement preparation based on personal needs.
(4) According to the revisions of the Labor Standards Act in 2015, the Company assesses the balance in the
designated labor pension reserve funds account, calculate required labor pension funds for the laborers who
meet the legal retire criteria in the follow following year and make up the difference before the end of March
the following year.
(5) In addition to compliance with the aforementioned retirement regulations and in recognition of the
contributions made by retired employees, the company also issues commemorative medals and awards to
retired employees. Meanwhile, the Employee Welfare Committee as well as the industry union has also
issued retirement souvenirs to fully reflect the company's gratitude towards retired employees.
(6) For employees in China, the subsidiaries enroll their employees in pension plans as required by law and make
monthly contributions to the pension plans according to the local regulations in order to provide adequate
retirement protection for the employees.
6. Employee Code of Conduct:

Walsin Lihwa's ESH and energy policy is "Green Manufacturing, Happy Enterprise and Sustainable Management".
The health and safety system and administrative measures are as follows:
1. We comprehensively implemented ISO45001 international certification for occupational safety and health
management system and safety management system (based on Taiwan Occupational Safety and Health
Management System (TOSHMS) in Taiwan and work safety standardization in China). Each plant makes good
use of the PDCA method and continues to carry out internal auditing drills to plan and implement according to
the current year's occupational safety and health performance indicators and in compliance with the law. The
performance indicators are categorized into two types: active (promotion of key systems, support from the top
management of each plant, and disclosure of management systems, etc.) and passive (work-related accidents
and penalties from the competent authorities). In addition, through the frequency of general (special) health
checkups and testing items for employees, we have implemented measures that are better than those
stipulated by the regulations to enhance employee work safety and promote health care, and to establish and
move toward an all-around safe and friendly Walsin Lihwa workplace through the management mechanism.
2. Designated health and safety and environmental management units or staff
Each of Walsin Lihwa's domestic and overseas plants also has its own Occupational Safety and Health
Committee (in Taiwan)/Safety Production Committee (in China). Those committees include certain labor
representatives to participate in and discuss matters relating to occupational safety and health. The number of
labor representatives in the safety and health committees set up in Taiwan factories in accordance with the law
are in line with the regulatory requirements. These committees hold meetings every quarter. In addition to the
passing down of practical experience and the dissemination of ethical principles in occupational safety, we
provide a platform for the exclusive Environmental Safety and Health Committee meeting minutes system and
an electronic signature system for quarterly meeting results, and send internal newsletters through the intranet
with work-safety-related emails to share our experiences.

3. Optimization and upgrade of Safe Job Procedure (SJP) and Risk Assessment Database Management System
In 2021, in line with the Group's policy and organizational changes, the risk assessment system was revised for
high-risk plants ("SJP Project"), and a total of 890 Safety Job Procedures ("SJPs") were reviewed for plants with
higher risks and similar operating nature (5 plants in total: Yanshui, Yantai, Jiangying Alloy, Jiangying Walsin,
and Hsinchuang Plant), and the total SJP operation reduction ratio (retention ratio) was 69.33%. For the original
lengthy operations, we focus on high-risk operations review, and for the original disaster-frequent operations,
we definite unclear operations, so as to give a clear definition (or increase the steps and cases), so that each
participant in the formulation of SJPs such as low-level supervisors and local safety managers may participate
together, analyze the risks, and further achieve the objective of work safety.
In addition, in 2021, there were 80 incidents (including minor injuries; Note 1) and 236 near miss incidents (the
near miss frequency rate was 415.93%; Note 2), all of which were included in the start-up risk assessment, and
safety operation standards were revised to prevent disasters from happening again.
At the beginning of the implementation of this system, a large number of documents were managed
electronically, and inconsistencies in the document versions were quite frequent. In 2020's revision, the staff
has been retrained, and in 2021, we implemented one-stop management: implementing equipment risk control
→ daily point inspection and maintenance list → responsible person immediately grasps the risk information.
In addition, considering the dual system in Mainland China, it is scheduled to increase the LECD risk control
conversion in 2022 and, in addition to the review of the workflow risk of the original workers, we will add a
special item for "machinery/equipment" risk assessment, so that each plant can use it boldly to facilitate
verification.
Note 1: Minor injury: refers to the non-temporarily incapacitated state: unable to work on the day of injury, but
can resume normal operation the next day.
Note 2: Work-related near miss frequency rate (NMFR) = number of near miss events * 200,000/total hours
experienced.
4. Training on occupational safety and health for workers
In order to protect the health and safety of employees, Walsin Lihwa Group has identified four important
training needs in each business division according to important indicators such as process type and operating
environment: "New Recruits", "In-Service Personnel (including re-training with licenses)", "Project Type", and
"Pre-site Training for Outsourcing Contractors". Training is arranged based on the degree of impact on the
company's operation and the serious rate and proportion of disasters. In 2021, 19,256 attendees took part in
physical occupational safety and health courses for employees, and a total of 2,951 attendees from our
contractors participated in the training.

5. Emergency response: Integrated escape and fire drills implemented by the head office
In addition to annual escape drills, we encourage all employees to go through fire-fighting operations and
strengthen fire-fighting drills at the beginning of a building fire. In 2021, a total of 167 personnel at the
151
Business Overview
headquarters took escape drills, accounting for 74% of the employee who were at work on that day, and each
department escaped to the safety assembly point within the average time of escape drills of about 8.5 minutes,
and it is expected that in 2021, the first aid energy at the headquarters will be strengthened to reduce the
severity of injuries.
6. Optimization of Contractor Management Information System
In 2021, the Company has completed a number of constructions of contractor management systems in various
factories in Mainland China. At the same time, it has also upgraded the "Standardization of Contractor
Management Regulations", "Contractor
(including
Transportation) Hazard Notifications" to strengthen and implement procedures, key steps and guidelines and
incorporate contractor management into all factories through contractor project planning, including resident
manufacturers and engineering contractors, so that Walsin Lihwa's corporate culture and ethical principles and
all workers are correct in terms of occupational safety may be spread through actions, resulting in a safer and
healthier fitness environment for all employees and workers; besides, collective priority safety rules must be
strictly followed.

7. Safe Job Procedure (SJP) and Risk Assessment
In 2021, the risk assessment system was revised for high-risk plants, and a total of 890 Safety Job Procedures
("SJPs") were reviewed for plants with higher risks and similar operating nature (5 plants in total: Yanshui, Yantai,
Jiangying Alloy, Jiangying Walsin, and Hsinchuang Plant), and the total SJP operation reduction ratio (retention

the steps and cases, so that each participant in the formulation of SJPs such as low-level supervisors and local
safety managers may participate together, analyze the risks, and further achieve the objective of work safety.
8. Continue to strengthen safety and health control intensity
We will review each accident and penalty event, as well as high-risk hazardous operations, high-frequency near
miss events by focusing on hidden dangers based on project types, and we will, through information
systematization methods, gradually improve personnel safety awareness, real-time control of machinery and
equipment, (raw) materials and chemical control, construction of a regulatory cloud information system, and
continuous improvement of the overall operating environment. In 2021, the Company did not have any
chemical leakage.
9. Establish friendly, safe and healthy workplace through health promotion
(1) Strengthen epidemic prevention rules, weave a health care protection network, and promote both

In 2021, Walsin Lihwa has cooperated with the government to prevent the spread of the COVID-19
pandemic. While taking into account the goals of epidemic prevention and operation, Walsin Lihwa actively
cooperated with the government's epidemic prevention regulations, strengthened various epidemic
prevention measures, and always prepared sufficient epidemic prevention materials (such as medical
masks, medicinal alcohol, disinfectant, and forehead thermometers), formulated work guidelines and plans
related to epidemic prevention, such as guidelines for staggering employee shifts, regulations on epidemic
prevention management for migrant workers, key points of notification and emergency response
management, epidemic prevention regulations for business trips or returning to the station, entry
quarantine measures, etc. At the same time, the Company regularly strengthened environmental
disinfection, mandatory wearing of masks, and control of people entering and leaving the factory and office
premises. All employees should take their body temperature before going to work every day, and the
Company collected information and educated employees about the development of the epidemic every

benefit and care. Through the health management system, employees can use the platform to inquire
about historical health examination trends, click on relevant health or health education information, make
appointments for health promotion activities/seminars, and consult with physicians; thus, the Company
may enhance employees' autonomy in health promotion and provide them with the care and resources
they need. As a result of its commitment to employee health care and health promotion, Walsin Lihwa has
been actively promoting and guiding employees to change their health behaviors and habits, increase their
knowledge of proper hygiene, the concept of self-efficacy and health belief patterns. A total of 57 health-
related seminars were held, with a total of 2,069 attendees.

requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The following are the key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2021:
Sales Revenue Recognition
In 2021, the main products of the Group's wires and cables business unit include bare copper wires,
wires and cables. The fluctuation in prices of bare copper wires is often subject to the movement in
prices of raw materials, and thus some of the sales prices are set according to the market prices agreed
under the contracts at the time of shipments. The Group prepares reports on point of sale transactions
by referring to the actual shipments and market price adjustments as the basis for revenue recognition.
164
Due to the large number of transactions and different market prices that have been agreed upon by
customers, the processing, recording and maintenance of such reports are performed manually in
which their amounts are significant to the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the accuracy of
revenue recognized from sales of bare copper wires was considered as a key audit matter. Refer to
Notes 4 and 24 to the consolidated financial statements for related accounting policies and disclosure
of information relating to revenue recognition.
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter were as follows:
1. We obtained an understanding and tested the reasonableness of revenue recognition policy and
internal control procedures over the sales of bare copper wires, and evaluated the effectiveness of
relevant internal controls.
2. We performed sampling and reconciliation of sales prices and quantities with their respective
amounts in the contracts and verified the accuracy of market price adjustments.
3. We verified the accuracy of monthly reports by recalculating the sales revenue and confirmed that
the recognized amounts were consistent with those recorded in the general ledger.
Other Matter
The financial statements of certain subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were audited by other auditors. Our opinion,
insofar as it relates to such subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The total assets
of such subsidiaries amounted to NT$10,292,042 thousand and NT$10,148,841 thousand, which
constituted 5.62% and 6.70% of the Group’s consolidated total assets, as of December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively, and the total net operating revenue of such subsidiaries amounted to
NT$17,799,306 thousand and NT$18,427,711 thousand, which constituted 11.36% and 16.37% of the
Group’s consolidated total net operating revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
We did not audit the financial statements of some associates accounted for using the equity method
included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group, but such statements were audited by
other auditors. As of December 31, 2021, the total asset of these associates was NT$1,053,790
thousand, representing 0.58% of the consolidated total assets; the share of losses of these associates
was NT$5,936 thousand, representing (0.03%) of the consolidated income before income tax.
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Walsin Lihwa Corporation as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion
with other matter.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by
Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting
Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued
into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, 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.
165
Financial Information
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the
Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the
Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of
China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
1.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’
report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain
166
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Wen-Yea Shyu
and Ker-Chang Wu.

WALSIN LIHWA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Walsin Lihwa Corporation (“WLC”) was incorporated in December 1966 and commenced
business in December 1966. WLC made various investments in construction, electronics, material
science, real estate, etc., to diversify its operations. WLC’s main products are wires, cables and
stainless steel.
WLC’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) since November 1972. In
October 1995 and November 2010, WLC increased its share capital and issued Global Depositary
Receipts (GDR), which were listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange under stock number
168527.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in WLC’s functional currency, the New
Taiwan dollar.
2. APPROVAL OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements of WLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”)
were approved by the board of directors of WLC on February 22, 2022.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND
INTERPRETATIONS
a. Initial application of the amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC
Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the
Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)
The initial application of the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have a
material impact on the Group’s accounting policies.
b. The IFRSs endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2022
New IFRSs

Amendments to IAS 37 “Onerous Contracts - Cost of
January 1, 2022 (Note 4)
Fulfilling a Contract”
180
Note 1: The amendments to IFRS 9 will be applied prospectively to modifications and
exchanges of financial liabilities that occur on or after the annual reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IAS 41 “Agriculture”
will be applied prospectively to the fair value measurements on or after the annual
reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IFRS 1
“First-time Adoptions of IFRSs” will be applied retrospectively for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.
Note 2: The amendments are applicable to business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period beginning on or after
January 1, 2022.
Note 3: The amendments are applicable to property, plant and equipment that are brought to
the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the
manner intended by management on or after January 1, 2021.
Note 4: The amendments are applicable to contracts for which the entity has not yet fulfilled
all its obligations on January 1, 2022.
1) Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020
Several standards, including IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, were amended in the annual
improvements. IFRS 9 requires the comparison of the discounted present value of the cash
flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received, with that of
the cash flows under the original financial liability when there is an exchange or
modification of debt instruments. The new terms and the original terms are substantially
different if the difference between those discounted present values is at least 10%. The
amendments to IFRS 9 clarify that the only fees that should be included in the above
assessment are those fees paid or received between the borrower and the lender.
2) Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”
The amendments replace the references to the Conceptual Framework of IFRS 3 and
specify that the acquirer shall apply IFRIC 21 “Levies” to determine whether the event
that gives rise to a liability for a levy has occurred at the acquisition date.
3) Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use”
The amendments prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of property,
plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to
the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by management. The cost of those items is measured in accordance with IAS 2
“Inventories”. Any proceeds from selling those items and the cost of those items are
recognized in profit or loss in accordance with applicable standards.
4) Amendments to IAS 37 “Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract”
The amendments specify that when assessing whether a contract is onerous, the “cost of
fulfilling a contract” includes both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (for
example, direct labor and materials) and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to
fulfilling contracts (for example, an allocation of depreciation for an item of property,
plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).
181
Financial Information
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were
authorized for issue, the Group has assessed that the application of other standards and
interpretations will not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position and financial
performance.

leases and decommissioning obligations,
1) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor
and Its Associate or Joint Venture”
The amendments stipulate that, when the Group sells or contributes assets that constitute a
business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate, the gain or loss resulting from the
transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that
contains a business but retains significant influence, the gain or loss resulting from the
transaction is recognized in full.
Conversely, when the Group sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to
an associate, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent
of the Group’s interest as an unrelated investor in the associate, i.e., the Group’s share of
the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that does
not contain a business but retains significant influence over an associate, the gain or loss
182
resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the Group’s interest as an
unrelated investor in the associate, i.e., the Group’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.
2) Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”
The amendments clarify that for a liability to be classified as non-current, the Group shall
assess whether it has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the
liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If such rights are in existence
at the end of the reporting period, the liability is classified as non-current regardless of
whether the Group will exercise that right. The amendments also clarify that, if the right to
defer settlement is subject to compliance with specified conditions, the Group must
comply with those conditions at the end of the reporting period even if the lender does not
test compliance until a later date.
that, for

The amendments stipulate
aforementioned settlement refers to a transfer of cash, other economic resources or the
Group’s own equity instruments to the counterparty that results in the extinguishment of
the liability. However, if the terms of a liability that could, at the option of the
counterparty, result in its settlement by a transfer of the Group’s own equity instruments,
and if such option is recognized separately as equity in accordance with IAS 32: Financial
Instruments: Presentation, the aforementioned terms would not affect the classification of
the liability.
liability classification,
3) Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”
The amendments specify that the Group should refer to the definition of material to
determine its material accounting policy information to be disclosed. Accounting policy
information is material if it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the
primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial
statements. The amendments also clarify that:
Accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or
conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed;
The Group may consider the accounting policy information as material because of the
nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are
immaterial; and
Not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or
conditions is itself material.
The amendments also illustrate that accounting policy information is likely to be
considered as material to the financial statements if that information relates to material
transactions, other events or conditions and:
a) The Group changed its accounting policy during the reporting period and this change
resulted in a material change to the information in the financial statements;
b) The Group chose the accounting policy from options permitted by the standards;
c) The accounting policy was developed in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies,
Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” in the absence of an IFRS that
specifically applies;
183
Financial Information
d) The accounting policy relates to an area for which the Group is required to make
significant judgements or assumptions in applying an accounting policy, and the
Group discloses those judgements or assumptions; or
e) The accounting is complex and users of the financial statements would otherwise not
understand those material transactions, other events or conditions.
4) Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”
The amendments define that accounting estimates are monetary amounts in financial
statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. In applying accounting policies,
the Group may be required to measure items at monetary amounts that cannot be observed
directly and must instead be estimated. In such a case, the Group uses measurement
techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates to achieve the objective. The
effects on an accounting estimate of a change in a measurement technique or a change in
an input are changes in accounting estimates unless they result from the correction of prior
period errors.
5) Amendments to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a
Single Transaction”
The amendments clarify that the initial recognition exemption under IAS 12 does not
apply to transactions in which equal taxable and deductible temporary differences arise on
initial recognition. The Group will recognize a deferred tax asset (to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
difference can be utilized) and a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable
temporary differences associated with leases and decommissioning obligations on January
1, 2022, and recognize the cumulative effect of initial application in retained earnings at
that date. The Group will apply the amendments prospectively to transactions other than
leases and decommissioning obligations that occur on or after January 1, 2022.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue,
the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards
and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance and
will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations
Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
b. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except
for financial instruments that are measured at fair values. Historical cost is generally based on
the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the
fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair
184
value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived
from prices); and
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to
settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period and
Liabilities for which WLC does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at
least 12 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.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
d. Basis of consolidation
Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of WLC and the
entities controlled by WLC. Control is achieved when the Group has the power to govern
the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are
included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring
their accounting policies into line with those used by the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon
consolidation.
185
Financial Information
Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Group and
to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a
deficit balance.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group
losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying
amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect
the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the
amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the
consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners
of the Group.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss
and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the
consideration received and any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair
value at the date when control is lost and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill) and
liabilities and any non-controlling interests of the former subsidiary at their carrying
amounts at the date when control is lost. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized
in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would
be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
Refer to Note 15 and Table 8 for the percent of ownership, main businesses and details of
the subsidiaries.
e. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual company entity, transactions in
currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange
prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange
differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for
the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary
items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive
income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other
comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not
retranslated.
For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of
the Group’s foreign operations (including of the subsidiaries and associates in other countries
with currencies used different from the Group) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using
exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are
translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are
recognized in other comprehensive income (attributed to the owners of the Group and
non-controlling interests as appropriate).
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign
operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign
operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a
foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that
186
operation attributable to the owners of the Group are reclassified to profit or loss.
In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control
over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are
re-attributed to non-controlling interests of the subsidiary and are not recognized in profit or
loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange
differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.
f.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and are
stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item,
except where it may be appropriate to Group similar or related items. Net realizable value is
the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs
necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance
sheet date.
Inventories include real estate and constructions-in-progress, which are stated at acquisition
costs plus construction costs incurred. Interest expenses on constructions-in-progress are
capitalized.
g. Investment in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a
subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated
financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an
investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize
the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The
Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of equity of associates.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the
identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate recognized at the date of acquisition is
recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is
not amortized. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets
and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in
profit or loss.
When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of the associate, at a percentage
different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the
investment differs from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate. The
Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding
amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in the Group’s share of equity of
associates. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription of
the new shares of associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously
recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit
or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the
related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the
capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for by the equity method is
insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
187
Financial Information
When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that
associate, the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and
liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or
constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.
The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as
a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment
loss recognized is deducted from investment and carrying amount of investment is net of
impairment loss. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the
recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which it ceases to have
significant influence over the associate. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at
that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial
asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate attributable to the
retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on
disposal of the associate. The Group accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other
comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required if
that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
When the Group entity transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the
transactions with the associate are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements
only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.
h. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and
subsequent accumulated impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production, supply or
administrative purposes are measured at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost
includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such properties are
depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when
completed and ready for intended use.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method.
Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and
depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any
changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the
sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
i.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation
(including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties also include
land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to
initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.
188
For a transfer from the investment properties classification to property, plant and equipment,
the deemed cost of the property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount at the
commencement of owner-occupation.
For a transfer from the property, plant and equipment classification to investment properties,
the deemed cost of the property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount at the end of
owner-occupation.
On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and is included in profit or loss.
j.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are measured initially at cost and subsequently measured at cost less
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a
straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are
reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate
accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are
acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss.
k. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties,
intangible assets other than goodwill and assets related to contract costs
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its impairment
of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, intangible assets other than goodwill and
assets related to contract costs, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets
have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the
asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not
possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets
are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of
allocation.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are
tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the assets may
be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the
recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable
amount.
When an impairment loss subsequently is reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or
cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to
the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss
been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an
impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
189
Financial Information
l. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a company entity becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs
that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial
liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities,
as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition
of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized
immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a
trade date basis.
1) Measurement category
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL,
financial assets at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
a) Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily
classified or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at
FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at
FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the
FVTOCI criteria.
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or
losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss
recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note
30.
b) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at
amortized cost:
i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold
financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
ii. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash
flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and
cash equivalents, trade receivables at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost,
which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method
less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
190
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross
carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:
i. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income
is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized
cost of such financial assets; and
ii. Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have
subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by
applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in
subsequent reporting periods.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from
the date of acquisition or time deposits with original maturities within 3-12 months
from the date of acquisition and the interest paid to deposits which are terminated
before maturity are higher than demand deposits, which are highly liquid, readily
convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting
short-term cash commitments.
c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate
investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not
permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration
recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value
with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss
will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead,
they will be transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss
when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends
clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
2) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at
amortized cost (including trade receivables), investments in debt instruments that are
measured at FVTOCI, operating/finance lease receivables, as well as contract assets.
The Group always recognizes lifetime Expected Credit Losses (ECLs) for trade
receivables and operating/finance lease receivables. For all other financial instruments, the
Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk
since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument
has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss
allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective
risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represents the expected credit
losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
191
Financial Information
instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represents the portion of lifetime ECLs that is
expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12
months after the reporting date.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Group considers the following
situations as indication that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any
collateral held by the Group):
a) Internal or external information shows that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.
b) Financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and
corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in
their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt
instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in
other comprehensive income and the carrying amounts of such financial assets are not
reduced.
3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash
flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and
receivable is recognized in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss which had been
recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings,
without recycling through profit or loss.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct
issue costs.
Repurchase of WLC’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from
equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or
cancellation of WLC’s own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities
1) Subsequent measurement
Except the following situation, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method:
a) Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liabilities are either
held for trading or are designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities held for trading are stated at fair value, with any gain or loss
192
arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the
manner described in Note 30.
b) Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group, if not designated as at FVTPL, are
subsequently measured at the higher of:
i. The amount of the loss allowance reflecting expected credit losses; and
ii. The amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, the cumulative amount of
income recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policies.
2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the
consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is
recognized in profit or loss.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to
interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts,
interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the derivative contracts
are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each
reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless
the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument; in which event, the timing
of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the
fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the derivative is recognized as a
financial asset; when the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, the
derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts that is within the
scope of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with
the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not
financial assets that is within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g. financial liabilities) are treated as
separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative; their risks and
characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts; and the host contracts are
not measured at FVTPL.
m. Hedge accounting
The Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives, embedded
derivatives and non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk, as either fair value hedges
or cash flow hedges. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for
as cash flow hedges.
1) Fair value hedges
Gain or losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are
recognized in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the
193
Financial Information
hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair
value of the hedging instrument and the change in the hedged item attributable to the
hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss in the line item relating to the hedged item.
The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship ceases to
meet the qualifying criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold,
terminated or exercised.
2) Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as
cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating
to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are
reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the line item
relating to the hedged item in the same period when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a
non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and losses that were
recognized in other comprehensive income are removed from equity and included in the
initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship ceases to
meet the qualifying criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold,
terminated or exercised. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has
been previously recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the
hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs.
When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in
equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
n. Levies
Levies imposed by a government are accrued as other liabilities when the transactions or
activities that trigger the payment of such levies occur. If the obligating event occurs over a
period of time, the liability is recognized progressively. If an obligation to pay a levy is
triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the liability is recognized when that minimum
threshold is reached.
o. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
p. Revenue recognition
The Group identifies contracts with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the
performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
1) Revenue from the sale of goods and real estate
Revenue from the sale of goods and real estate comes from sales of wires, cables, stainless
steel and real estate. Sales of wires, cables and stainless steel are recognized as revenue
194
when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and the price to sell
the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks
of obsolescence.
The Group does not recognize revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because
this delivery does not involve a transfer of control.
Regarding contracts relating to the sale of real estate in the course of ordinary activities, a
fixed transaction price is received in instalments and recognized as a contract liability. The
transaction price, after adjusting for the effect of the significant financing component, is
recognized as revenue when the construction is completed and the real estate is transferred
to the buyer.
2) Revenue from the others
a) Revenue from the rendering of services
Service income is recognized when services are rendered. Revenue should be
recognized over time by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of the
performance obligation. Payment for installation services is not due from the customer
until the installation services are complete, and therefore, a contract asset is
recognized over the period in which the installation services are performed. The
contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables when installation is complete.
b) Construction contract revenue
A contract asset is recognized during construction and is reclassified to trade
receivables at the point at which it is invoiced to the customer. If the milestone
payment exceeds the revenue recognized to date, then the Group recognizes a contract
liability for the difference. Certain payments retained by the customer as specified in
the contract are intended to ensure that the Group adequately completes all of its
contractual obligations. Such retention receivables are recognized as contract assets
until the Group satisfies its performance obligation.
When it is not able to reasonably measure the Group’s progress toward satisfaction of
the performance obligation but expects to recover costs, the Group recognizes revenue
only to the extent of costs incurred.
q. Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a
lease.
a) The Group as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are
classified as operating leases.
Under finance leases, the lease payments comprise fixed payments and variable lease
payments which depend on an index or a rate. The net investment in a lease is
measured at (a) the present value of the sum of the lease payments receivable by a
lessor and any unguaranteed residual value accrued to the lessor plus (b) initial direct
195
Financial Information
costs and is presented as a finance lease receivable. Finance lease income is allocated
to the relevant accounting periods so as to reflect a constant, periodic rate of return on
the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of leases.
Lease payments less any lease incentives payable from operating leases are recognized
as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct
costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the
underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease
terms.
b) The Group as lessee
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the
commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases
accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized
as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial
measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the
commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs
needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received.
Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the
commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use
assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments,
which comprise fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments
which depend on an index or a rate, residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a
purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating a lease if the lease term reflects such
termination, less any lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted
using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that
rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing
rate.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a
change in a lease term, a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a
residual value guarantee, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase an
underlying asset, or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an
index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Group remeasures the lease
liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the
carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of
the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a
separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as
expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
196
r. Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will
comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in
which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs that the grants intend to compensate.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already
incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future
related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are received.
The benefit of a government loan received at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a
government grant measured as the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value
of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.
s. Employee benefits
1) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the
undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related
service.
2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense
when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the
defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit
method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined
benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they
occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, and the return on plan
assets (excluding interest), are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in
which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected
immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group’s
defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present
value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
t. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined
according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.
197
Financial Information
According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated
earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain
earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s
tax provision.
2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable
profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all (deductible temporary differences and
unused loss carry forward) to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be
available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with
investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the
Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising
from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are
only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits
against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to
reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period
and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized
deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to
the to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the
deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply
in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax
consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end
of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION
UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. The accounts include allowance for doubtful trade receivable
accounts, inventory valuation losses, depreciation, impairment, pension, deferred tax assets, etc.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that
are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
198
The Group considers the economic implications of the COVID-19 when making its critical
accounting estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are audited on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if
the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the
revision affects both current and future periods.

Financial Information
d. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group’s strategy for commodity futures
contracts, foreign exchange forward contracts and exchange rate swap contracts was to hedge
exposures to fluctuations of essential materials’ prices and foreign exchange rates. However,
those derivative financial instruments did not meet the criteria of hedge effectiveness;
therefore, they were not accounted for by hedge accounting.
e. In January 2020, the Group bought 2-year corporate bonds of Golden Harbour International
Pte. Ltd. in the amount of US$178,500 thousand. The bonds are embedded derivative
instruments that pay a fixed interest rate of 5% plus a floating spread per annum. Due to the
cash flow demand, the Group communicated with Golden Harbour International Pte. Ltd. on
August 27, 2021 to exercise the early redemption to pay back the bonds. Refer to Note 15.
f.
In January 2020, the Group bought an option contract for US$50 thousand. Under the
contract, the issuer of the option will make an unconditional payment to the Group for the
principal and interest of the abovementioned bonds if Golden Harbour International Pte. Ltd
fails to redeem the bonds at maturity.

The Group used exchange rate swap contracts to minimize its exposure to changes in the
exchange rate of its foreign-currency trade receivable and trade payable. The exchange rate swaps
and the corresponding financial assets have the same terms, and management believes that the
exchange rate swaps are highly effective hedging instruments. The outstanding exchange rate

The average credit period on the sale of goods was 60 days. In determining the collectability of a
trade receivable, the Group considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable
since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. The Group adopted a
policy of only dealing with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher and
obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial
loss from defaults. The Group uses other publicly available financial information or its own
trading records to rate its major customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its
counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is
spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that
are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually. In this regard, the
management believes the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
The Group applies the simplified approach prescribed by IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance
for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade
receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to the past default experience with
the respective debtors and an analysis of the debtors’ current financial positions. As the Group’s
historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different
customer segments, the loss allowance based on the past due status of receivables is not further
distinguished according to different segments of the Group’s customer base.
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is
experiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery of the
receivable. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in
enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables which are due. Where recoveries are
made, they are recognized in profit or loss.
The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Group’s provision
matrix.

These investments in equity instruments are held for medium- to long-term strategic purposes.
Accordingly, the management selected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at
FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value
in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding these investments
for long-term purposes. In the December 31, 2021 and 2020, the unrealized valuation gains
resulting from these investments in equity instruments were NT$2,594,208 thousand and
NT$1,077,834 thousand, respectively, recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
On January 6, 2021, the Group issued 205,333 thousand shares in exchange for 171,104 thousand
shares of TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. WLC and TECO agreed to build a strategic
alliance to enhance competitiveness and cooperation in next generation smart grid, smart
manufacturing, and green energy industry. In addition, the Group also acquired the shares of
TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. from the open market. As of December 31, 2021 and

22. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a. Defined contribution plan
WLC and its subsidiaries in the ROC adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act
(LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, WLC and its
subsidiaries in the ROC make monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension
accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
219
Financial Information
The total expense recognized in profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020 was NT$95,977 thousand and NT$89,868 thousand, respectively, which represents
contributions payable to these plans by the Group at rates specified in the rules of the plans.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plans adopted by WLC and Walsin Info-Electric in accordance with the
Labor Standards Act are operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are
calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months
before retirement. WLC and Walsin Info-Electric contribute amounts equal to 2% of total
monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring
committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s
name. Before the end of each year, the Group assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the
amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for
employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Group is required to
fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the
next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the
“Bureau”); the Group has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets in respect of the Group’s defined
benefit plans are as follows:

An analysis by function of the amounts recognized in profit or loss in respect of the defined
benefit plans is as follows:

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Group is exposed to the
following risks:
1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt
securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau
or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations,
the return generated by plan assets shall not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time
221
Financial Information
deposit with local banks.
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present
value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase
in the return on the plans’ debt investments.
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using the
future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salaries of the plan
participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out
by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial
valuations were as follows:
Discount rates
Expected rates of salary increase
December 31
2021
0.625%
2.25%
2020
0.50%
2.25%
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions occur and all
other assumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation will
increase (decrease) as follows:
Discount rates
0.5% increase
0.5% decrease
Expected rates of salary increase
0.5% increase
0.5% decrease

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

The premium from shares issued in excess of par (share premium from issuance of ordinary
shares, conversion of bonds and treasury share transactions) and donations may be used to
offset a deficit; in addition, when the Group has no deficit, such capital surplus may be
distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of
the Group’s capital surplus and to once a year).
The capital surplus arises from changes in capital surplus of subsidiaries accounted for using
the equity method, employee share options and share warrants may not be used for any
purpose.

Financial Information
c. Retained earnings and dividend policy
The shareholders of WLC held their regular meeting on July 15, 2021, and in that meeting,
resolved the amendments to WLC’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”). Under the
dividends policy as set forth in the amended Articles, where WLC made a profit in a fiscal
year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years,
setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit this requirement is not applicable
when the legal reserve has reached the total capital, and then any remaining profit together
with prior unappropriated earnings shall be appropriated for special reserve or appropriate
reversal of special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then the balance
shall be used by WLC’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan,
which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for the distribution of dividends to
shareholders. Other than the aforementioned regulations, WLC shall reserve no lesser than
40% of the balance amount as shareholders’ profit after offsetting its loss and tax payments in
the previous year, capital reserve, and special reserve adjusted by the accumulated net
deduction of other equity. The profits shall be distributed in cash or in form of shares; cash
dividends shall not be lesser than 70% of the total dividends.
Before the amendments, where WLC made a profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first
utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10%
of the remaining profit this requirement is not applicable when the legal reserve has reached
the total capital, and then any remaining profit together with prior unappropriated earnings
shall be appropriated for setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the
laws and regulations, and then shall be used by WLC’s board of directors as the basis for
proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for the
distribution of dividends to shareholders. WLC shall reserve no lesser than 40% of the balance
amount as shareholders’ profit after offsetting its loss and tax payments in the previous year,
capital reserve and special reserve. The profits shall be distributed in cash or in form of
shares; cash dividends shall not be lesser than 70% of the total dividends.
Appropriation of earnings to the legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals
WLC’s paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset any deficits. If WLC has no
deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of WLC’s paid-in capital, the excess may be
transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

period was outstanding for the whole year.

constant, the Group’s pre-tax, net profit for the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020 would have decreased by NT$426,138 thousand and NT$428,443 thousand,
respectively.

2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations
resulting in a financial loss to the Group. At the end of the year, the Group’s maximum
exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure
of the counterparty to discharge its obligation and due to the financial guarantees provided
by the Group, could be equal to the total of the following:
a) The carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the
balance sheets; and
b) The maximum amount the entity would have to pay if the financial guarantee is called
upon, irrespective of the likelihood of the guarantee being exercised.
The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and
obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of
financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its
counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions
concluded is spread amongst the approved counterparties. Also, credit exposure is
controlled by setting credit limits that are reviewed and approved annually.
In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team
responsible for the determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring
procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue receivables. In
addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivable at
the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for
irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Group consider that the Group’s
credit risk was significantly reduced.

3) Liquidity risk

a. Basic information
1) Classification
Information reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource
allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the types of goods or
services delivered or provided.
251
Financial Information
a) Wires and cables
The segment’s main products include copper rods, wires, connectors and components
which are sold to industries involving cables and wires, communications cable, heavy
electronics, home electrical appliances and construction.
b) Stainless steel
The segment’s main products included smelting, rolled stainless steel, carbon steel and
precision alloy wire which are sold to industries involving construction components,
crankshafts, machine tools, plumbing, heat exchange, drainage, petrochemicals and
construction.
c) Real estate
Real estate is responsible for the development of commercial and real estate
complexes and real estate management. Furthermore, the modes of operation are the
construction of residences, offices, markets and hotels, and the offering of rental
space, operating management and after-sales services.
d) Administration and investing
The segment of administration and investing refers to other investments in mainland
China.
2) Estimates of operating segment income and expenses, assets and liabilities
Accounting policies of operating segments are the same with those summarized in Note 4
to the consolidated financial statements. Operating segment income and expenses are
measured based on estimated future potential profit and pre-tax operating profit adjusted
by hedge accounting. Sales and transfers between segments are treated as transactions
with third parties and evaluated at fair value.
The Group does not allocate income tax expense (benefit), investment income (loss)
recognized under equity method, foreign exchange gain (loss), net investment income
(loss), gain (loss) on disposal of investments, gain (loss) on valuation of financial assets
and liabilities and extraordinary items to reportable segments. The amounts reported are
consistent with the report used by chief operating decision maker.
3) Identification of operating segments
The reported operating segments are classified according to the different products and
services that are managed separately because they use different technology and selling
strategies.

Financial Information
5. Financial report of the parent company of the most recent year audited and certified
by Supervisors
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Walsin Lihwa Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Walsin Lihwa Corporation (the
“Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the
statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and
the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (as set out in the Other Matter
section of our report), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance
and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the
Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of
the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of
the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The following are key audit matter of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2021:
Sales Revenue Recognition
In 2021, the main products of the Company's wires and cables business unit include bare copper wires,
wires and cables. The fluctuation in prices of bare copper wires is often subject to the movement in
prices of raw materials, and thus some of the sales prices are set according to the market prices agreed
under the contracts at the time of shipments. The Company prepares reports on point of sale
292
transactions by referring to the actual shipments and market price adjustments as the basis for revenue
recognition. Due to the large number of transactions and different market prices that have been agreed
upon by customers, the processing, recording and maintenance of such reports are performed manually
in which their amounts are significant to the financial statements. Therefore, the accuracy of revenue
recognized from sales of bare copper wires was considered as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 4 and
21 to the financial statements for related accounting policies and disclosure of information relating to
revenue recognition.
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter were as follows:
1. We obtained an understanding and tested the reasonableness of revenue recognition policy and
internal control procedures over the sales of bare copper wires, and evaluated the effectiveness of
relevant internal controls.
2. We performed sampling and reconciliation of sales prices and quantities with their respective
amounts in the contracts and verified the accuracy of market price adjustments.
3. We verified the accuracy of monthly reports by recalculating the sales revenue and confirmed that
the recognized amounts were consistent with those recorded in the general ledger.
Other Matter
The financial statements of certain equity-method investees included in the financial statements as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were audited by other auditors. Our opinion,
insofar as it relates to such investments, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The
investments in such investees amounted to NT$5,587,877 thousand and NT$4,238,472 thousand,
which constituted 3.39% and 3.02% of the total assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively;
and the investment gains amounted to NT$743,761 thousand and NT$995,518 thousand for the years
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial
Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers,
and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or
to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including audit committee) are responsible for overseeing the
Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the 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
293
Financial Information
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the 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 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 Company’s internal control.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to
cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or
business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless
law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the
294
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Wen-Yea Shyu
and Ker-Chang Wu.

dollar.
2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements were approved by the Company’s board of directors on February 22,
2022.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS, AMENDED AND
INTERPRETATIONS
a. Initial application of the amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC
Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the
Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)
The initial application of the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have a
material impact on the Company’s accounting policies.
b. The IFRSs endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2022
New IFRSs

Fulfilling a Contract”
302
Note 1: The amendments to IFRS 9 will be applied prospectively to modifications and
exchanges of financial liabilities that occur on or after the annual reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IAS 41 “Agriculture”
will be applied prospectively to the fair value measurements on or after the annual
reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IFRS 1
“First-time Adoptions of IFRSs” will be applied retrospectively for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.
Note 2: The amendments are applicable to business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period beginning on or after
January 1, 2022.
Note 3: The amendments are applicable to property, plant and equipment that are brought to
the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the
manner intended by management on or after January 1, 2021.
Note 4: The amendments are applicable to contracts for which the entity has not yet fulfilled
all its obligations on January 1, 2022.
1) Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020
Several standards, including IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, were amended in the annual
improvements. IFRS 9 requires the comparison of the discounted present value of the cash
flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received, with that of
the cash flows under the original financial liability when there is an exchange or
modification of debt instruments. The new terms and the original terms are substantially
different if the difference between those discounted present values is at least 10%. The
amendments to IFRS 9 clarify that the only fees that should be included in the above
assessment are those fees paid or received between the borrower and the lender.
2) Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”
The amendments replace the references to the Conceptual Framework of IFRS 3 and
specify that the acquirer shall apply IFRIC 21 “Levies” to determine whether the event
that gives rise to a liability for a levy has occurred at the acquisition date.
3) Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use”
The amendments prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of property,
plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to
the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by management. The cost of those items is measured in accordance with IAS 2
“Inventories”. Any proceeds from selling those items and the cost of those items are
recognized in profit or loss in accordance with applicable standards.
4) Amendments to IAS 37 “Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract”
The amendments specify that when assessing whether a contract is onerous, the “cost of
fulfilling a contract” includes both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (for
example, direct labor and materials) and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to
fulfilling contracts (for example, an allocation of depreciation for an item of property,
plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).
303
Financial Information
Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue,
the Company has assessed that the application of other standards and interpretations will not
have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and financial performance.

leases and decommissioning obligations,
1) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor
and Its Associate or Joint Venture”
The amendments stipulate that, when the Company sells or contributes assets that
constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate, the gain or loss resulting from
the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Company loses control of a subsidiary
that contains a business but retains significant influence, the gain or loss resulting from the
transaction is recognized in full.
Conversely, when the Company sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business
to an associate, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the
extent of the Company’s interest as an unrelated investor in the associate, i.e., the
Company’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Group loses control of a
304
subsidiary that does not contain a business but retains significant influence over an
associate, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of
the Group’s interest as an unrelated investor in the associate, i.e., the Group’s share of the
gain or loss is eliminated.
2) Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”
The amendments clarify that for a liability to be classified as non-current, the Company
shall assess whether it has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of
the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If such rights are in
existence at the end of the reporting period, the liability is classified as non-current
regardless of whether the Company will exercise that right. The amendments also clarify
that, if the right to defer settlement is subject to compliance with specified conditions, the
Company must comply with those conditions at the end of the reporting period even if the
lender does not test compliance until a later date.
that, for
the purpose of
The amendments stipulate
the
aforementioned settlement refers to a transfer of cash, other economic resources or the
Company’s own equity instruments to the counterparty that results in the extinguishment
of the liability. However, if the terms of a liability that could, at the option of the
counterparty, result in its settlement by a transfer of the Company’s own equity
instruments, and if such option is recognized separately as equity in accordance with IAS
32: Financial Instruments: Presentation, the aforementioned terms would not affect the
classification of the liability.
liability classification,
3) Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”
The amendments specify that the Company should refer to the definition of material to
determine its material accounting policy information to be disclosed. Accounting policy
information is material if it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the
primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial
statements. The amendments also clarify that:
Accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or
conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed;
The Company may consider the accounting policy information as material because of
the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts
are immaterial; and
Not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or
conditions is itself material.
The amendments also illustrate that accounting policy information is likely to be
considered as material to the financial statements if that information relates to material
transactions, other events or conditions and:
a) The Company changed its accounting policy during the reporting period and this
change resulted in a material change to the information in the financial statements;
b) The Company chose the accounting policy from options permitted by the standards;
305
Financial Information
c) The accounting policy was developed in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies,
Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” in the absence of an IFRS that
specifically applies;
d) The accounting policy relates to an area for which the Company is required to make
significant judgements or assumptions in applying an accounting policy, and the
Company discloses those judgements or assumptions; or
e) The accounting is complex and users of the financial statements would otherwise not
understand those material transactions, other events or conditions.
4) Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”
The amendments define that accounting estimates are monetary amounts in financial
statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. In applying accounting policies,
the Company may be required to measure items at monetary amounts that cannot be
observed directly and must instead be estimated. In such a case, the Company uses
measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates to achieve the
objective. The effects on an accounting estimate of a change in a measurement technique
or a change in an input are changes in accounting estimates unless they result from the
correction of prior period errors.
5) Amendments to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a
Single Transaction”
The amendments clarify that the initial recognition exemption under IAS 12 does not
apply to transactions in which equal taxable and deductible temporary differences arise on
initial recognition. The Company will recognize a deferred tax asset (to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
difference can be utilized) and a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable
temporary differences associated with leases and decommissioning obligations on January
1, 2022, and recognize the cumulative effect of initial application in retained earnings at
that date. The Company will apply the amendments prospectively to transactions other
than leases and decommissioning obligations that occur on or after January 1, 2022.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue,
the Company is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other
standards and interpretations will have on the Company’s financial position and financial
performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing
the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
b. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial
instruments and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the
defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
306
The fair value measurements, which are Companyed into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to
which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the
inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived
from prices); and
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
When preparing these financial statements, the Company used the equity method to account
for its investments in subsidiaries and associates. In order for the amounts of the net profit for
the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the financial statements
to be the same with the amounts attributable to the owners of the Company in its consolidated
financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatments
between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis were made to investments
accounted for using the equity method, the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates,
the share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates and the related equity
items, as appropriate, in these financial statements.
c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to
settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period and
Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement
for at least 12 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.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
d. Foreign currencies
In preparing the Company’s financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the
Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange
prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
307
Financial Information
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items
arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which
they arise except for exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge
certain foreign currency risks.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when fair value was determined. Exchange
differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss
for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary
items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive
income; in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other
comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction not retranslated.
e. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and are
stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item,
except where it may be appropriate to Company similar or related items. Net realizable value
is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs
necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at the weighted-average cost on the
balance sheet date.
f.
Investments accounted for using the equity method
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries and
associates.
1) Investment in subsidiaries
Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and
adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other
comprehensive income of the subsidiary. The Company also recognizes the changes in the
Company’s share of equity of subsidiaries.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the
Company losing control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The
Company recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying amount of the
investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.
When the Company’s share of loss of a subsidiary exceeds its interest in that subsidiary
(which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity
method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net
investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues recognizing its share of further loss,
if any.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the
identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary at the date of acquisition is recognized as
goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not
308
amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable
assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognized immediately in profit or
loss.
The Company assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying
amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the investee’s
financial statements as a whole. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount
exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently
increases, the Company recognizes a reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted
post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been
recognized in prior years. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed
in a subsequent period.
When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, it recognizes the investment retained in
the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference
between the fair value of the retained investment plus any consideration received and the
carrying amount of the previous investment at the date when control is lost is recognized
as a gain or loss in profit or loss. Besides this, the Company accounts for all amounts
previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the
same basis as would be required had the Company directly disposed of the related assets
or liabilities.
Profit or loss resulting from downstream transactions is eliminated in full only in the
financial statements. Profit and loss resulting from upstream transactions and transactions
between subsidiaries is recognized only in the financial statements and only to the extent
of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.
2) Investment in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and which is
neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. The Company uses the equity
method to account for its investments in associates.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial
statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an
investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to
recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of
the associate. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of equity
of associates.
Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and
adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other
comprehensive income of the associate. The Company also recognizes the changes in the
Company’s share of the equity of associates.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the
identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate at the date of acquisition is recognized as
goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not
amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable
assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized
immediately in profit or loss.
309
Financial Information
When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of an associate at a percentage
different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the
investment differs from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the
associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with
the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital
surplus from investments in associates accounted for using the equity method. If the
Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new
shares of the associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously
recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to
profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly disposed of
the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus,
but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method
is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that
associate, the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional
losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal
obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.
The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for
impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying
amount. Any impairment loss recognized is deducted from investments and the carrying
amount of investment is net of impairment loss. Any reversal of that impairment loss is
recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently
increases.
The Company discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which it ceases
to have significant influence over the associate. Any retained investment is measured at
fair value on that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition
as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate
attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the
gain or loss on disposal of the associate. The Company accounts for all amounts
previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the
same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets
or liabilities.
When the Company transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the
transactions with the associate are recognized in the Company’s financial statements only
to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Company.
g. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at
cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost less any
recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for
capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of
property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.
The depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line
method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual
values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the
310
effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the
sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
h. Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation
(including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties also include
land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.
On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and is included in profit or loss.
i.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at
cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated
impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis within useful lives. The
estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective
basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reported at cost less accumulated
impairment loss.
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the differences between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
j.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties,
intangible assets other than goodwill and assets related to contract costs
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property,
plant and equipment, right-of-use asset and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the
extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units
on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are
tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the assets may
be impaired.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the
recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable
amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
311
Financial Information
Before the Company recognizes an impairment loss from assets related to contract costs, any
impairment loss on inventories, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets related to
the contract applicable under IFRS 15 shall be recognized in accordance with applicable
standards. Then, impairment loss from the assets related to the contract costs is recognized to
the extent that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the remaining amount of
consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for related goods or services
less the costs which relate directly to providing those goods or services and which have not
been recognized as expenses. The assets related to the contract costs are then included in the
carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to which they belong for the purpose of
evaluating impairment of that cash-generating unit.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding
asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would
have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset, cash-generating
unit or assets related to contract costs in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is
recognized in profit or loss.
k. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs
that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial
liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or
deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on
initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets
or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a
trade date basis.
1) Measurement category
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL,
financial assets at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
a) Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily
classified or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at
FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at
FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the
FVTOCI criteria.
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any
remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or
losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 27.
312
b) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at
amortized cost:
i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold
financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
ii. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash
flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and
cash equivalents and trade receivables at amortized cost are measured at amortized
cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest
method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or
loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross
carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:
i. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income
is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized
cost of such financial assets; and
ii. Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have
subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by
applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in
subsequent reporting periods.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from
the date of acquisition or time deposits with original maturities within 3-12 months
from the date of acquisition and the interest paid to deposits which are terminated
before maturity are higher than demand deposits, which are highly liquid, readily
convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting
short-term cash commitments.
c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate
investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not
permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration
recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value
with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss
will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments; instead,
it will be transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss
when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends
313
Financial Information
clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
2) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at
amortized cost (including trade receivables), investments in debt instruments that are
measured at FVTOCI, operating lease receivables, as well as contract assets.
The Company always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade
receivables, operating lease receivables and contract assets. For all other financial
instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a
financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company
measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month
ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective
risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit
losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is
expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12
months after the reporting date.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Company determines that the following
situations indicate that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any
collateral held by the Company):
a) Internal or external information show that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.
b) When a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Company has
reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in
their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt
instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in
other comprehensive income and the carrying amounts of such financial assets are not
reduced.
3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash
flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and
receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in a debt
instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of
the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss which had been
recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. However, on
derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and
receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been
314
recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings,
without recycling through profit or loss.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net
of direct issue costs.
The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted
directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale,
issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities
1) Subsequent measurement
Except the following situation, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method:
a) Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liabilities are held
for trading. Financial liabilities held for trading are stated at fair value, and any gains
or losses on such financial liabilities are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value
is determined in the manner described in Note 27.
b) Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company, if not designated as at FVTPL,
are subsequently measured at the higher of:
i. The amount of the loss allowance reflecting expected credit losses; and
ii. The amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, the cumulative amount of
income recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policies.
2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the
consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is
recognized in profit or loss.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure
to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts
and interest rate swaps.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the derivative contracts
are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each
reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless
the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument; in which event, the timing
of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the
315
Financial Information
fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the derivative is recognized as a
financial asset; when the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, the
derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts that is within the
scope of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with
the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not
financial assets that is within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g., financial liabilities) are treated as
separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative; their risks and
characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts; and the host contracts are
not measured at FVTPL.
l. Hedge accounting
The Company designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives, embedded
derivatives and non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk, as either fair value hedges
or cash flow hedges. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for
as cash flow hedges.
1) Fair value hedges
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value
hedges are recognized in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair
value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in
the fair value of the hedging instrument and the change in the hedged item attributable to
the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss in the line item relating to the hedged item.
The Company discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship ceases
to meet the qualifying criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold,
terminated or exercised.
2) Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as
cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gains or losses
relating to the ineffective portion are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are
reclassified from equity to profit or loss as reclassification adjustments in the line items
relating to the hedged item in the same period in which the hedged item affects profit or
loss. If a hedge of a forecasted transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a
non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and losses that were
recognized in other comprehensive income are removed from equity and included in the
initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
The Company discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship ceases
to meet the qualifying criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold,
terminated or exercised. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that was
previously recognized in other comprehensive income (from the period in which the hedge
was effective) remains separately in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. When a
forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gains or losses accumulated in
equity are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
316
m. Levies
Levies imposed by a government are accrued as other liabilities when the transactions or
activities that trigger the payment of such levies occur. If the obligating event occurs over a
period of time, the liability is recognized progressively. If an obligation to pay a levy is
triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the liability is recognized when that minimum
threshold is reached.
n. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
o. Revenue recognition
The Company identifies contracts with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the
performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
1) Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of wires, cables and stainless steel.
Sales of wires, cables and stainless steel are recognized as revenue when the customer has
full discretion over the manner of distribution and the price to sell the goods, has the
primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence.
The Company does not recognize revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors
because this delivery does not involve a transfer of control.
2) Revenue from the others
a) Revenue from the reading of services
Service income is recognized when services are rendered. Revenue should be recognized
over time by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance
obligation.
b) Construction contract revenue
A contract asset is recognized during construction and is reclassified to trade receivables
at the point at which it is invoiced to the customer. If the milestone payment exceeds the
revenue recognized to date, then the Company recognizes a contract liability for the
difference. Certain payments retained by the customer as specified in the contract are
intended to ensure that the Company adequately completes all of its contractual
obligations. Such retention receivables are recognized as contract assets until the
Company satisfies its performance obligation.
When it is not able to reasonably measure the Company progress toward satisfaction of
the performance obligation but expects to recover costs, the Company recognizes revenue
only to the extent of costs incurred.
317
Financial Information
p. Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a
lease.
1) The Company as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are
classified as operating leases.
Under finance leases, the lease payments comprise fixed payments and variable lease
payments which depend on an index or a rate. The net investment in a lease is measured at
(a) the present value of the sum of the lease payments receivable by a lessor and any
unguaranteed residual value accrued to the lessor plus (b) initial direct costs and is
presented as a finance lease receivable. Finance lease income is allocated to the relevant
accounting periods so as to reflect a constant, periodic rate of return on the Company’s net
investment outstanding in respect of leases.
Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized
as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs
incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying
assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
2) The Company as lessee
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the
commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases
accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as
expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement
of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date,
plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the
underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are
subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and
adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using
the
commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets
or the end of the lease terms.
the straight-line method
from
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which
comprise fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments which
depend on an index or a rate, residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase
option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of
penalties for terminating a lease if the lease term reflects such termination, less any lease
incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in
a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the
Company uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in
318
a lease term, a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value
guarantee, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase an underlying asset, or a
change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to
determine those payments, the Company remeasures the lease liabilities with a
corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of
the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is
recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the balance
sheets.
The Company negotiates with the lessor for rent concessions as a direct consequence of
the Covid-19 to change the lease payments originally due by June 30, 2022, that results in
the revised consideration for the lease less than, the consideration for the lease
immediately preceding the change. There is no substantive change to other terms and
conditions. The Company elects to apply the practical expedient to all of these rent
concessions and, therefore, does not assess whether the rent concessions are lease
modifications. Instead, the Company recognizes the reduction in lease payment in profit or
loss as, in the period in which the events or conditions that trigger the concession occur,
and makes a corresponding adjustment to the lease liability.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as
expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
q. Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company
will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognized profit and loss on a systematic basis over the periods in
which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs that the grants intend to
compensate.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already
incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no
future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are received.
The benefit of a government loan received at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a
government grant measured as the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value
of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.
r. Employee benefits
1) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the
undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related
service.
2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense
when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
319
Financial Information
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the
defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit
method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined
benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they
occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets
(excluding interest), are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which
they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected
immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company’s
defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present
value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
s. Income tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
According to the Income Tax Law in ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings
is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s
tax provision.
2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all
taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all
(deductible temporary differences and unused loss carry forward) to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary
differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with
investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Company is able to control
the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference
will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible
temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized
to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to
utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the
foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period
and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized
deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to
the to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the
deferred tax asset to be recovered.
320
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply
in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax
consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the
end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and
liabilities.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION
UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. The accounts include allowance for doubtful trade
receivable accounts, inventory valuation losses, depreciation, impairment, pension, deferred tax
assets, etc. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other
factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company considers the development of the country and the economic implications of the
COVID-19 when making its critical accounting estimates such as estimation of cash flow, growth
rate, discount rate and profitability. The estimates and underlying assumptions are audited on an
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and
future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Financial Information
to fluctuations of essential materials’ prices and foreign exchange rates. However, those
derivative financial instruments did not meet the criteria of hedge effectiveness; therefore, they
were not accounted for by hedge accounting.
In January 2020, the Company bought 2-year corporate bonds of Golden Harbour International
Pte. Ltd. in the amount of US$178,500 thousand. The bonds are embedded derivative instruments
that pay a fixed interest rate of 5% plus a floating spread per annum. Due to the cash flow
demand, the Company communicated with Golden Harbour International Pte. Ltd. on August 27,
2021 to exercise the early redemption to pay back the bonds. Refer to Note 12.
In January 2020, the Company bought an option contract for US$50 thousand. Under the contract,
the issuer of the option will make an unconditional payment to the Company for the principal and
interest of the abovementioned bonds if Golden Harbour International Pte. Ltd fails to redeem the
bonds at maturity.

trade receivable, the Company considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable
since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. When the Company
dealt with new entities, the Company reviewed the credit ratings of the entities and obtained
sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from
defaults. The Company uses other publicly available financial information or its own trading
records to rate its major customers. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its
counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is
spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that
are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually. In this regard, the
management believes the Company’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
The Company applies the simplified approach to allowances for expected credit losses prescribed
by IFRS 9, which permits the use of a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade
receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix
by reference to past default experience with the respective debtors and an analysis of the debtors’
current financial positions. As the Company’s historical credit loss experience does not show
significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on
the past due status of receivables is not further distinguished according to different segments of
the Company’s customer base.
The Company writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is
experiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery of the
receivable. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Company continues to engage in
enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables which are due. Where recoveries are
made, they are recognized in profit or loss.
The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Company’s
provision matrix.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for
medium- to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these
investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term
fluctuations in these investments’ fair values in profit or loss would not be consistent with the
Company’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.
On December 31, 2021 and 2020, the unrealized valuation gains resulting from these investments
in equity instruments were gains of NT$2,611,742 thousand and NT$1,258,198 thousand,
respectively, recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
On January 6, 2021, the Company issued 205,333 thousand shares in exchange for 171,104
thousand shares of TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. WLC and TECO agreed to build a
strategic alliance to enhance competitiveness and cooperation in next generation smart grid, smart
manufacturing, and green energy industry. In addition, the Company also acquired the shares of
TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. from the open market. As of December 31, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, the Company held a total of 230,439 thousand and 954 thousand shares,
respectively, of TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd.

19. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a. Defined contribution plan
The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a
state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, the Company makes monthly
contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
The total expense recognized in profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020 was NT$95,977 thousand and NT$89,868 thousand, respectively, which represents
contributions payable to these plans by the Company at rates specified in the rules of the plan.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plans adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards
Law are operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis
of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The
Company contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension
fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are
deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the
Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension
fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement
requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one
appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund
is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the “Bureau”); the Company
has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Company’s defined benefit plans
are as follows:

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Company is exposed to
the following risks:
1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt
securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau
or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations,
the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time
deposit with local banks.
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present
value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase
in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using the
future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salaries of the plan
participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out
by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial
valuations are as follows:
Discount rate(s)
Expected rate(s) of salary increase
December 31
2021
0.625%
2.25%
2020
0.50%
2.25%
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions occur and all
other assumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation will
increase (decrease) as follows:
Discount rate(s)
0.5% increase
0.5% decrease
Expected rate(s) of salary increase
0.5% increase
0.5% decrease

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

The premium from shares issued in excess of par (share premium from issuance of ordinary
shares, conversion of bonds and treasury share transactions) and donations may be used to
offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be
distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of
the Company’s capital surplus and to once a year).
The capital surplus arises from changes in capital surplus of associates accounted for using the
equity method, employee share options and share warrants may not be used for any purpose.

capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

The Company’s capital management objective is to ensure that it has the necessary financial
resources and operational plan so that it can cope with the next 12 months working capital
requirements, capital expenditures, debt repayments and dividends spending.
The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings offset by cash and cash
equivalents) and equity attributable to owners of the Company (comprising issued capital,
reserves, retained earnings and other equity).
Key management personnel of the Company review the capital structure on a quarterly basis. As
part of this review, the key management personnel consider the cost of capital and the risks
associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the key management
personnel, in order to balance the overall capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of
dividends paid to shareholders, the number of new shares issued or repurchased, and/or the
amount of new debt issued or existing debt redeemed.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s major financial instruments include equity investments, borrowings, trade
receivables and trade payables. The Company’s corporate treasury function provides services
to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, and
monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through
internal risk reports that analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks
include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company seeks to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial
instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the
Company’s policies approved by the board of directors, which provides written principles on
foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and
non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with
policies and exposure limits is reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The
Company did not enter into or trade financial instruments for speculative purposes.
1) Market risk
The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company entered into foreign exchange
forward contracts and interest rate swaps contracts to hedge foreign currency risk and
interest rate risk.
There has been no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in
which these risks are managed and measured.
a) Foreign currency risk
The Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Company
to foreign currency risk. Exchange rate exposures were managed within approved
policy parameters utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts.
It is the Company’s policy to negotiate the terms of the hedge derivatives to match the
terms of the hedged item to maximize hedge effectiveness.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary
assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) at the end
of the reporting period were as follows:

liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of each liability outstanding
at the end of the year was outstanding for the whole year.
If interest rates had been 1% basis points higher and all other variables were held
constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020 would decrease by NT$402,146

Hedge accounting
For the year ended December 31, 2020
The Company’s hedging strategy is to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to
avoid exchange rate exposure on 100% of the fair value of its foreign currency
denominated receipts and payments and to manage exchange rate exposure. Those
transactions are designated as fair value hedges. Adjustments are recognized directly
in profit or loss and are presented as hedged items on the statements of comprehensive
income.

Financial Information
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations
resulting in a financial loss to the Company. At the end of the year, the Company’s
maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Company due
to the failure of the counterparty to discharge its obligation and due to the financial
guarantees provided by the Company, could be equal to the total of the following:
a) The carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the
balance sheet; and
b) The maximum amount the entity would have to pay if the financial guarantee is called
upon, irrespective of the likelihood of the guarantee being exercised.
The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and
obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of
financial loss from defaults. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its
counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions
concluded is spread amongst the approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by
setting credit limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee
annually.
In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a team
responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring
procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue receivables. In
addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade
receivables at the end of the year to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for
irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the
Company’s credit risk was significantly reduced.
3) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and
cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Company’s operations and mitigate the
effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of
bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.
a) The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturities for its
non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed upon repayment periods.
