To report 2017 operating results.

China General Plastic Corporation 2017 Business Report

The 2017 net sales of the Company is NT$ 8.11 billion dollars, an increase of NT$ 649 million dollars over the same period of last year and the budget achieving rate is 103%. The operating profit is NT$ 700 million dollars, an increase of NT$ 85 million dollars over the same period of last year with a growth rate of 14%, and the target achieving rate is 105%. Non-operating profit is NT$ 715 million dollars. Annual net operating profit after tax is NT$ 1.27 billion dollars, a decrease of NT$ 173 million dollars over the same period of last year, and the target achieving rate is 92%.

Review of 2017 annual operation: Despite the production reduction of OPEC in the first half of the year, due to the U.S.’ increased production of shale oil and weak demand on global crude oil, the WTI of crude oil has dropped from US$54 to US$42 per barrel. In the second half of the year, as the economy of Europe, U.S. and Japan showed up trends along with the OPEC agreement on the extension of production reduction, WIT continues to increase to US$59 per barrel. Due to the high demand for SM and the major turn arounds on cracking plants, the price of ethylene remained high. In the first half of the year, with the turn arounds in the Middle East being carried out one after another, the price of EDC increased significantly. However, in the second half of the year, due to the high global demand in caustic soda, chlor-alkali plant generated relatively greater amount of EDC such that the price dropped correspondingly. Regarding VCM, with the more operation on new capacity in Asia, the supply thereof is relatively sufficient. Therefore, it made the bigger spread between PVC and VCM in last year. In the first half of the year, due to the real estate being depressed in China, the monsoon in India and the Ramadan holidays, the PVC demands were slow. For the second half of the year, despite the fact that there were interferences due to the new GST imposed in India, the economy in Europe, U.S., Japan and

- 5 -

Brazil continued to recover as well as under the influence caused by the short production of VCM and PVC in the U.S., the PVC manufacturers in Asia were able to take over the position of U.S. manufacturers to supply to the Middle East markets, especially Iran and Syria. Our company continued upholding the spirit of integration of Vinyl Chain and actively planed the renewal of production equipment in order to enhance the production performance. With the goal of maximizing production and sales in cooperation with the series of VCM/PVC/fabricated products, the production and sales of the upstream and downstream is smooth along with the appropriate operations of cost control and continued expansion of PVC export markets, the export sales volume increased by 27% against last year and the annual PVC sales volume achieved 105% of the plan, with the operating profits of NT$ 338 million dollars. In terms of chemical products, with the global caustic soda remaining at high prices, the domestic chlor-alkali demand and supply are balanced. Consequently, the product sales volume achieved 105% of the plan, and the operating profit is NT$ 198 million dollars. Regarding the fabricated products, the appreciation of NTD reduced the competitiveness for order intakes. In addition, due to the impacts of the competitors at low prices from China, Mexico, India and Southeast Asia countries as well as the customs barrier, the sales volume only achieved 91% of the plan. Nevertheless, under the efforts of the management team, with the launch of new products of high added value, improvement of product mix and increase of capacity utilization with effective reduction of costs, the operating profit is NT$ 164 million dollars. Regarding the re-investments, the production quantity of VCM of TVCM Corporation is 440 thousand tons, an increase of 17 thousand tons over the same period in last year, which achieved 101% of the plan; the sales volume is 441 thousand tons, an increase of 21 thousand tons over the same period of last year, which achieved 102% of the plan, and the profit of NT$ 543 million dollars. In addition, the PVC output of CGPC Polymer Corporation is 205 thousand tons, an increase of 11 thousand tons over the same period in last year, and achieved 102% of the plan; sales volume is 200 thousand tons, an increase of 3 thousand tons over the same period in last year, and achieved 99.5% of the plan, with profit of NT$ 249 million dollars.

Outlook of 2018 operation: The global economy will continue recovering and the markets in most countries are optimistic. With the

- 6 -

growth of crude oil demand, the international oil market is heading toward the balance between demand and supply. The spot market price of ethylene dropped during the time before and after the Chinese New Year. However, there have been 11 naphtha cracking plants in Asia with the capacity exceeding 8.8 million tons of ethylene are planed for turn arounds during March to June, the demand for ethylene is expected to remain high. The PVC future and physical market prices of PVC in China are expected to increase after the market slight correction during Chinese New Year. In India, due to the shortage of PVC supply and coming peak season for agricultural activities, the imported PVC has been increasing since December of last year. The PVC market in Bangladesh is also expected well in purchasing for consumption and for more inventories. The PVC markets in Australia and Brazil are still slow; however, the import market is expected to pick up in Q2. As the PVC demand continues to remain high in the emerging markets and the economy in Europe and in U.S. continue to recover, along with the strengthening of environmental protection audits and reduction of carbide based PVC capacity in China, the market prices of PVC/VCM are expected to increase. In addition, in view of the factors including the new high-efficiency steam boiler in operation for effective reduction of the energy cost, the completion of production for PVC foam door panel and completion of high-efficiency calendar for tape film at the end of last year, the renewal of the second set of cracking furnaces of the subsidiary TVCM at the third quarter of last year, all of such factors are expected to further reduce the cost, improve the production efficiency and reduce energy consumption as well as ensure the equipment operation safety and increase of capacity. The overall ~~P~~ VC sales quantity is expected to increase in comparison to last year. The management team of the company will implement the planning based on Vinyl Chain to maximize the profit for the company. In addition, the execution of strategies in various aspects of company governance is to be enhanced, the company website and the corporate social responsibility are to be sufficiently satisfied along with the establishment of the communication system with interested parties, thereby improving the corporate social identity and properly utilizing the vertical integration system as well as active and effective management. Consequently, the niche of the company can be achieved and expanded in order to maximize the operation

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders China General Plastics Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of China General Plastics Corporation (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. 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.

Key audit matters related to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 are stated as follows:

Occurrence of Specific Revenue

As the transaction volume is huge and customers are diversified, part of the Company sales were conducted by granting customers one-off credit increase, and the reasonableness of the terms in these exceptional sales is significant to the Company’s revenue recognized in 2017. Therefore, the occurrence of these specific sales is identified as one of the key audit matters.

 17

For the accounting policy of revenue recognition, refer to Note 4 to the accompanying financial statements.

Below are our main audit procedures performed for the occurrence of specific revenue:

  1. Obtained an understanding of and tested the internal control design and operating effectiveness over the credit line setting, modification and approval process;

  2. Sampled the transaction documents supporting specific revenue recognized, including shipping, customs and receipt documents;

  3. Sampled sales returns, provisions and cash collections occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date to verify the reasonableness of revenue recognition.

Recognition of Defined Benefit Liabilities

As of December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the defined benefit liabilities was NT$863,130 thousand, which accounted for 31% of the total liabilities on the balance sheet. The carrying amount of defined benefit liabilities was determined and recognized based on independent actuaries’ report. The underlying assumptions utilized in the actuarial report were dependent on management’s judgment and estimates with which there is a high degree of uncertainty. Thus, the recognition of defined benefit liabilities, in our professional judgment, is identified as one of the key audit matters.

For the estimates and judgments related to the recognition of defined benefit liabilities, refer to Notes 4, 5 and 19 to the financial statements.

Below are the main audit procedures performed for recognition of defined benefit liabilities:

  1. Assessed the professionalism, competency, objectivity and qualification of independent actuaries engaged by management;

  2. Obtained an understanding of and tested the rationality of the supporting data provided by management in the actuarial report;

  3. For the methodology and major underlying assumptions utilized in the actuarial report, including discount rate and expected wage growth rate, we compared the data used with data used by peers as well as historical ones, and evaluated the appropriateness of management’s judgments.

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.

 18

Those charged with governance (including the 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 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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the 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.

 19

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, 2017 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation preludes 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 Shih-Tsung Wu and Tzu-Jung Kuo.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders China General Plastics Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of China General Plastics Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. 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. Key audit matters related to the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 are stated as follows:

Occurrence of Specific Revenue

As the transaction volume is huge and customers are diversified, part of the Group sales were conducted by granting customers one-off credit increase, and the reasonableness of the terms in these exceptional sales is significant to the Group’s revenue recognized in 2017. Therefore, the occurrence of these specific sales is identified as one of the key audit matters.

For the accounting policy of revenue recognition, refer to Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Below are our main audit procedures performed for the occurrence of specific revenue:

 27
  1. Obtained an understanding of and tested the internal control design and operating effectiveness over the credit line setting, modification and approval process;

  2. Sampled the transaction documents supporting specific revenue recognized, including shipping, customs and receipt documents;

  3. Sampled sales returns, provisions and cash collections occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date to verify the reasonableness of revenue recognition.

Recognition of Defined Benefit Liabilities

As of December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the defined benefit liabilities was NT$1,039,875 thousand, which accounted for 23% of the total liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of defined benefit liabilities was determined and recognized based on independent actuaries’ report. The underlying assumptions utilized in the actuarial report were dependent on management’s judgment and estimates with which there is a high degree of uncertainty. Thus, the recognition of defined benefit liabilities, in our professional judgment, is identified as one of the key audit matters.

For the estimates and judgments related to the recognition of defined benefit liabilities, refer to Notes 4, 5 and 24 to the consolidated financial statements.

Below are the main audit procedures performed for recognition of defined benefit liabilities:

  1. Assessed the professionalism, competency, objectivity and qualification of independent actuaries engaged by management;

  2. Obtained an understanding of and tested the rationality of the supporting data provided by management in the actuarial report;

  3. For the methodology and major underlying assumptions utilized in the actuarial report, including discount rate and expected wage growth rate, we compared the data used with data used by peers as well as historical ones, and evaluated the appropriateness of management’s judgments.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of China General Plastics Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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 the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

 28

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

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

We also provide those charged with governance with statements 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

 29

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, 2017 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation preludes 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 Shih-Tsung Wu and Tzu-Jung Kuo.
