III. The impact among the environments of external competitions, legal environment, and environment for overall business operation
- (I) The impact among the environments of external competitions environment and environment for overall business operation:
In 2019, China's economic growth rate showed a trend of stable advancement. According to the “2019 National Economic and Social Development Statistics Bulletin” published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the GDP growth was 6.1% for the Mainland region and the tertiary industries’ GDP accounted for 53.9% of the total national GDP. Tertiary industries, especially the service industry, saw a significant improvement. Under the stimulation of multiple factors such as industrialization, information technology and elevated residential consumer spending, growth in the service industry remained strong. The tertiary industries went up by 6.9%. Consumption has further enhanced the driving force of the growth with an annual contribution of 57.8% to economic growth for the whole year. The level of urbanization is on the track to improve and the income gap between urban and rural residents continued to narrow. Residents' income grew faster than economic growth. The annual per capita disposable income increased by 8.9%. Excluding the price factor, the real growth rate was 5.8%. The development of the service industry, urbanization
process and per capita disposable income of urban residents all show that the potential of consumer goods market in China, especially the cosmetics industry and service industry. For the first time, the annual total retail sales of consumer goods surpassed 40 trillion RMB and reached 41.2 trillion RMB, up by 8.0% from the previous year. Consumers have remained the main engine of economic growth. Among the retail sales of goods above the amount limit, cosmetics saw a growth rate of 12.6% which exceeded the total growth rate of social consumer goods, indicating its market potential in keeping steady growth.
In 2019, against the backdrop of the slowdown in global economic growth and increased pressure of economic downturn domestically, the Chinese economy moved forward firmly with fast and steady high-quality development. As the overall economy remains stable, the level of development has moved up to a new stage, and the quality of development has steadily improved. At the same time, the public well-being is getting better, and all kinds of social activities are flourishing, with overall ecological and environmental improvement. Meanwhile, with the support of a series of innovative and startup activities and results, the new products under emerging industries and models are growing rapidly and becoming a new driver of stable economic growth and structural adjustment. Throughout 2019, the sales of products online grew by 19.5% compared to the previous year, accounting for 20.7% of the overall retail sales of consumer products in society, a growth of 2.3% from the previous year.
Facing the rapidly changing external environment, the markets for beauty and skincare franchise and consumption goods are becoming more and more competitive. On the dispersed competitive market, high-quality brands have strong appealing power and more opportunities to integrate the market. At the same time, the franchiser’s operation is directly affected by the macroeconomic environment and the disposable income of consumers. Led by urbanization and public startups, the development of e-commerce is beneficial for breaking down geographical limits and expanding customer groups, which will bring more business opportunities to the Company. The transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the online-and-offline-integrated marketing method have further revealed the Company’s competitive advantage in combining unique products with services and the development advantage created by cross-border e-commerce gathering quality brands.
(II) Impact from the Legal Environment:
To operate skin care products manufacturing and franchised business in China, businesses need to obtain numerous licenses and approvals and comply with the following regulations: “Hygienic Standard for Cosmetics,” “Regulations Concerning the Hygiene Supervision over Cosmetics,” “Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Regulation on the Hygiene Supervision over Cosmetics,” “Industrial Production Authorization Regulations,” “Domestic Non-special Purpose Cosmetics Record Management Method,” and “Cosmetics Labels Instructions Management Regulations,” as well as “Regulation on the Administration of Commercial Franchises.” The obtaining of relevant licenses in accordance to the laws and regulations has material impacts on the business operation for the Company. As of the date of printing of this annual report, the Company has obtained all the licenses and permits required for business operations and got an update as it pertains to these matters.

2. Industry overview
(1) Industry status and development
a. Macro environment:
Mainland China is a focused region of development for the Company and we have cultivated the local market in depth for years. With the local economy continuing to grow, the beauty industry is full of potential with the enormous underlying business opportunities. The major factors that drive the development of the beauty industry in Mainland China includes the growth in its GDP, the increased urbanization rate and per capita disposable income and the awakening of female consciousness which further expands the size of the consumer market. These factors are closely related to the demand for beauty products and services and hence are the main driving force for the industry to quickly expand and grow flourishingly. International historical data have shown that when the per-capita GDP breaks the USD 3,000 threshold, consumption starts to enter the rapid growth channel and so is beauty-related consumption. When the per-capita GDP exceeds USD 20,000 threshold, however, the acceleration rate will significantly drop and consumption enters a stable period. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the gross domestic product in 2019 was RMB 99,086.5 billion in Mainland China, a growth of 6.1% from 2018.
==> picture [433 x 229] intentionally omitted <==
Source: National Bureau of Statistics of China (4/2/2019)
As industrial sectors gradually expand toward second-line and third-line cities over the past few years to quickly increase the urban population, the per-capita disposable income of urban residents is gradually improved, too. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the per-capita disposable income in 2019 was RMB 42,359 in Mainland China, a growth of 7.9% from the preceding year. The improved purchasing power of urban residents adds to the demand for beauty products and accordingly expedites the development of the beauty industry.
The report of iiMedia Research indicated that the number of females aged between 20-60 was about 400 million in China and the market capacity is estimated to reach 10 trillion in 2019. The women consumer market in China is enormous, including a comprehensive scope of maternal and child products, female health, beauty and fresh food. Women care more about aspects of health, puzzle and education game, various e-commerce, photo and film beautifying, parent-child service and educational training related to daily cosmetics, woman's period and pregnancy.
b. Market environment for skin care products: Recently, the domestic consumption of cosmetics grows quickly with the rapid growth of the economy in China. The “Report on the market prospect planning and investment value consultation for the whitening and skin care industry of China in 2020-2026” published by Intelligence Research Group displayed that China excelled Japan in becoming the second largest country of the cosmetics consumption in 2013. The information also shown that the retail sales of the first three quarters in the domestic cosmetic industry reached RMB 215.1 billion in 2019 with a year-on-year growth of 12.8%. We estimated that the retail sales of the domestic cosmetic industry will reach about RMB 300 billion in 2019.

c. Market environment of the aesthetic medicine:
The “Analysis on the market development size and industrial development trend of the China aesthetic medicine industry in 2019” published by Intelligence Research Group displayed a low penetration rate in the domestic aesthetic medicine market . In comparison with the 10% of penetration rate in countries with mature aesthetic medicine market such as USA, Brazil and Korea, the penetration rate of the aesthetic medicine market in China was merely about 2% with 5 times of room for development. The market size of the aesthetic medicine industry in China will further increase in the future.

According to the investigation result of Frost & Sullivan, the treatment consumption of the aesthetic medicine in China was RMB 16.29 million second only to RMB 16.34 million of the USA in 2017. Moreover, the annual growth rate of China was 26.4%, exceeding the 3.9% for USA. Thus, the consumption of the aesthetic medicine treatment in China will exceed countries with large aesthetic medicine consumption, including USA, Brazil, Japan and Korea, and rank first in the world in 2019.

(3) Various Development Trends of Products
A. Products future development
Since the Chlitina first entered Mainland China in 1997, it has been devoted to the research and development of skin care products that suits “Chinese” and “Asian” people best. Given the vast territory of China, in particular the significantly different climates between the north and the south, the policy adopted by first-rate manufacturers in “Europe and America” towards introducing single products is never sufficient to address the needs for care and conditioning of make-overs in “various areas” throughout China.
The company dedicates itself to seeking the application of the skin concept, “medicine-oriented, beauty for use” by the means of providing professional skincare solutions to women who are plagued by various skin problems. Through the introduction of advanced technology in the industry and focusing on consumer groups targeted in different market channels, the company will continue to launch new products to broaden the distribution of product lines.
With its R&D belief, products of the Chlitina may be divided into the following major aspects: (A) “Ageless and Anti-aging” as the Mainstream
“Agelessnes and anti-aging” has been dream of humankind since its very beginning. It was so in the past and will remain so in the future. The dream has never changed. How to research and
develop a series of complete skin care products suitable for the skin of Asian people, and the Chinese people in particular, in order to satisfy the needs of Chinese women in remaining ageless and to fight the aging process has therefore become the highest guiding principle for the Chlitina in product research and development.
Based on this belief, in terms of product research and development, the Chlitina has come up with a series of products to take care of the three major steps “skin purification repair regeneration.”
(B) Reinforced “Professional and Precise Skin Care” for Regimens In light of the fact that Chlitina is a well-known professional beauty franchise group for medium-to-high-end customers in China, in order to further differentiate between and emphasize the efficacy of “professional and precise skin care”, besides researching and developing “home care products”, a series of “combinations” of professional beauty salon care packages are developed to go with induction “professional instruments”, such as “Hydraskin”, “Rejuvenating”, and “Extreme Clear White.” With assistance of professional instruments, optimal results of skin care for customers in a non-invasive way are made possible in order to fulfill the purpose “let time stay at the most beautiful moment.”
(C) All-around and full-time-efficiency products are provided to create differences in services and products.
The differences in products and services bring about the maximum benefits in skin care for the “customers”. The Products of the Chlitina Group include:
a. Home care products
The emphasis is placed on the basic skin care while at home so that the skin gets the needed care and time to repair around the clock. Home care is known for its benefits such as convenience and autonomy. It is tailored according to advice given by professional beauty consultants, home care combinations take care of personal skin issues and ensure non-stop care around the clock in order to strengthen extended results of professional beauty care regimens and to yield twice the results with half the effort. The products focus on “moisturizing, repairing, and conditioning.” In terms of moisturizing, facial solutions that provide benefits from brightening skin tones to exercise outstanding moisturizing effects are the primary products, including the exquisite classic EPO series, which helps with normal metabolization of keratin and keeps the horny layer of the skin intact and hydrated to effectively correct aging and dry skin, to moisturize and lock in water, and to repair cracks because of dryness; the premium royal Fantasia series that reaches deep inside the skin to ensure deep miniaturization and repairs aging skin or to realize deep whitening, among other skin care benefits, reflective of different skin attributes, replenishing the vigor most needed in skin; the Chliwhate series that breaks down pigmentation that compromises the purity of skin layer by layer to create 4C-grade diamond-kind shiny and tony beautiful skin; the Primrose facial cleansing series that applies the patented technology to extract essence of the whole primrose plant while the resultant Primrose Vital-Active Complex activates overwhelming defensive protection. The unique water-oil mixture mechanism multiplies the repair effects as it better penetrates into the basal layer of skin to strengthen the safeguard barrier, to inspire synthesis of collagen, to reduce the formation of free radicals, and to activate the defensive protection at a depth. The skin will appear to be shiny and moisturized from the inside out.
b. Beauty Salon Professional Conditioning Regimen The focus is “combinations” of products that require the use of “professional instruments.” Specialized beauty consultants examine the skin through the professional instruments and find out the cause of problematic skin in order to design and tailor care regimens. The products are introduced into the skin with high-tech instruments that are known for being safe, comfortable, highly-efficient, and non-invasive. Used together with professionally trained techniques, they ensure significant beauty skin care effects bring about “ageless and anti-aging” benefits. The
products feature mainly “moisturizing, activating, wrinkle-smoothening, and skin-lifting.” Products in this series include the Hydraskin Intensive Expert Package, the Extreme Clear White Expert Package and the Instant Rejuvenating Eye Expert Package.
c. Physical Meridian Care With systemic skin care and physical health as the appeal, the products emphasize the ideas of traditional Chinese medicine that are familiar to Asian people and combine them with the quantum-based medical technology from Europe to exercise thorough effects. By utilizing the innovative idea of combining the East and West, as well as the skilled technique applied to smoothen circulation throughout the body and the highly bioavailable fine and pure compound essence oil, promotes relaxation of tissues at a depth and blood circulation in muscular tissues, soothes the body and the mind, shoulders and the neck, and relieves symptoms such as back pain and inflammation, among others. The raw materials are quality natural plants from Europe and North America.
d. Non-allergy and Repairing Skin Care Products To address issues such as sensitization, redness, edema, peeling, and difficulty for make-up to stay on at the turn of the season, the Company places particular emphasis on enhancing the defensive protection of skin. Ordinary skincare products vary in quality and tend to give rise to irritation and pain, and may even trigger more serious skin disorders. In light of sensitive skin caused by improper care habits and skin care products, the Company places particular emphasis on normalizing the dermatological structure. Enhanced skin protection and strengthened skin metabolism are its primary the focus. We have protein cream and EG cream, among other star products. Each of them has withstood the time, challenges from the market, and hence is absolutely representative.
e. High-end Physical Care Products with Luxury Fragrance By adopting the inspiration of “curing the skin and pleasing the body and mind,” the Company jointly worked with French laboratory to develop the delightful Trotula series for tired women with dry and sagging skin. With the integration of the natural, pure and classic aromatherapy of the West with modern technology, the Company realizes three-D healing for the body, spirit, and mind of women. By the most natural and pure power of the plants with warm and charming fragrance, the nerve is relaxed, the soul is pacified while the skin completes its rebuilding and restoration in a pleasant and comfortable condition and awakes the positive energy of the body, spirit and mind.
- f. Facial Care Products for Oily and Acne Skin developed by Authoritative German Medicine Research
To solve the repeating acne problem of the consumer, the Company searches around the world to select and introduce the Skinicer series developed by authoritative German medicine research. Spirulina platensis, the main ingredients of the product, has extraordinary antiseptic and repair benefits focusing on the propionibacterium acnes to inhibit the inflammation from the source and repair the acne skin. This series is also applicable to oily skin to prevent acne. The functionality of the series won numerous recognitions from consumers and recommendation from dermatologists.
The combined use and packages available for products, precise seamless skin care around the clock is made possible. Skin receives alternating deep and light flexible care. Not only product effects are exercised in a balanced way around the clock, the skin can also take appropriate rest and recover. The products fully demonstrate the characteristics of the Chlitina in product development, that is, “professionalism, personalization, comprehensive, and complete time-efficiency” and facilitates the skin to go through the spontaneous physiological cycles of “purification, repair, and regeneration” and to accordingly fulfill the ultimate goal of being “ageless and anti-aging.”
B. Future Trends on Beauty Market
The Mainland China market is the main growth market for the Chlitina.
Due to the significantly improved GDP in Mainland China over the past 10 years, local consumers’ demand for quality services has increased significantly as well. This drives professional beauty salons to be focused on their professional service level in order to be recognized by medium-to-high-end consumers on the market. As a result, professionalism and focused specialties will become a more obvious trend among beauty and care institutes. With beauty service regulations established by the government, requirements for the quality of services provided by beauty salons have been relatively increased. This further enhances the entry criteria for “beauty salons” and it helps with the development of large professional beauty franchises such as “Chlitina.”
C. Changes to Company Operation in the Future
To address the rapidly increasing demand on the Mainland China market and from local consumers for care products and services, the Company is engaged in the following changes regarding its operation in order to increase its competitive advantages:
(A) Reinforce “market-end training” ability
In light of the large size of the Mainland China market and the difference in culture, customs, and skin conditions, as the number of franchised stores keeps increasing throughout the nation, the management of the franchise brand also needs to be “localized” in terms of the train of thought and the service model. The Company adopts the hierarchical model that consists of “advanced training at the main office” and the “educational guidance in different areas.” The main office is to arrange senior lecturers as planned who would attend diversified courses on topics such as “corporate culture,” “brand image,” “product reinforcement,” “store affairs management,” “distribution skills,” and “career planning” that are important forms of education in terms of knowledge of new products and assistance in opening a new store according to the company’s market operation policy. Having been evaluated by the main office, the approved lecturers from respective areas are to reproduce the course contents reflective of conditions of stores in their area (such as climate, environment, and customs) to fulfill dual purposes of being “professional and united” and “providing area-based educational guidance.” The hierarchical model that consists of “advanced training at the main office” and the “educational guidance in different areas” effective reduces the cost of transportation incurred for and time spent by the trainees and significantly cuts down the corporate operational expenses as well. Meanwhile, it helps enhance the proactive learning attitude of the staff, apply what is learned quickly to store operations, and accordingly consolidate the marketing strategy.
(B) Deepen beauty franchise channels
The Mainland China market is divided into advanced, well-off, and developing areas. In the future, Chlitina will make the best of its powerful brand awareness and flexible distribution strategies to further increase its market share in well-off areas and developing ones. For Taiwan and the Southeast Asia markets, store expansion will be expedited and product structure will be optimized. Franchise management strategies will be improved and adapted to local developments so that brand awareness may be deepened.
- (C) Improve products R&D capabilities
Quality products best guarantees winning out on the market. Therefore, we will strengthen the autonomous R&S capabilities and speed and will attract various talent within the industry.
(D) Diversified management
With the development of e-commerce, Internet, medical beauty, and regenerative medicine in China, consumers’ spending habits are subtly evolving. In this context, CHLITINA has been looking for its own business model. Recently, the company has invested in the creation of an electronic shopping mall, XINMEILI, and of medical beauty and anti-aging clinics under the brand UPLIDER. While the XINMEILI e-shop helps us take advantage of the possibilities of
the Internet to diversify operations and increase offline profitability for franchisees, UPLIDER medical clinics allows us to harness the anti-aging potential of medical beauty and regenerative medicine in order to improve existing skin care treatments and product lines, thereby raising consumers’ satisfaction. At the same time, both projects enable us to draw on customer resources from existing channels and thus create new sources of profitability for the company.
- (4) Competition
A. Differentiation in market size
The increased purchasing power and inflation in China have resulted in surging prices of commercial land and also the sudden hike in the cost of opening a store, which puts a barrier to quick expansion of stores. This is also why with the current market size and annual growth rate, among other competitive advantages, it is uneasy for competitors to exceed the Company.
B. Autonomous product R&D capabilities
Back in 1989, when the Company was first established, it was already the first to introduce the idea of researching and developing “PH 5.5” skin care products. After 2000, this idea has gradually been adopted by international first-line heavyweight manufacturers in terms of product development. This is sufficient proof of the Company’s R&D capabilities. Compared to the various competitive brands in China, most of which continue to operate relying mainly on purchased products. On the other hand, the Company’s autonomous R&D capabilities can not only better address customers’ needs but are more advantageous over competitors. C. Brand advantage
In November 2011, the Company’s brand, CHLITINA and its Chinese name were both given the “China Well-Known Trademark” by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, making it the one and only company among beauty franchises. Meanwhile, the Company was the only brand in the industry to win the “Top 20 International Brands in Taiwan” Award for four consecutive years from 2015 to 2019. CHLITINA was awarded the “Top 100 Chain-Style Business of China in 2018” and the “China Outstanding Franchisor 2019” by the China Chain Store Association in 2019.
D. Digitalization of Big Health
The Company has implemented the digital transformation in recent years using the digitalization as the tool to explore innovative cosmetology services. Meanwhile, in addition to the projects of traditional aesthetic medical services, the Company implemented its R&D results by introducing the regenerative medicine and anti-aging medicine items jointly developed with Tongji University to the direct aesthetic medicine clinics, Up Lider. This sufficiently proved that the Company set foot in the aesthetic medicine while expanding the regenerative medicine and anti-aging medicine items other than daily cosmetics to create a digitalized beauty industrial chain with big health.
E. Brand Internationalization
Since the Company entered Vietnam in 2018, the main purpose of the Company was “brand promotion” but our product prices and services are between medium and high price according to the local consumption level. However, the Company will expand the market through business operation and shift recourses to the market we expected to develop. Also, the Company began to prepare various investigations and researches to enter other countries of ASEAN to become the most influential leader in the global beauty industry.
3. Overview of Technology and R&D
(1) Technical Level and Research and Development in the Scope of Business Operation The products of the Company, with its own formula design and development of the manufacturing technique to differentiate itself on the market, and that cannot be reproduced in either quality or efficacy. Most cosmetics companies on the market have an R&D department
that relies on suppliers to provide the formula and have raw materials coming from specific manufacturers; as a result, they cannot change the formula or raw materials on their own and have no control over the cost. The enriched formula development experience enables the design of products with the best CP ratio according to the market price. The manufacturing technique ensures smooth production, stable quality, and improved production efficiency.
The company dedicates itself to seeking the application of the skin concept, “medicine-oriented, beauty for use” by the means of providing professional skincare solutions to women who are plagued by various skin problems. Through the introduction of advanced technology in the industry and focusing on consumer groups targeted in different market channels, the company will continue to launch new products to broaden the distribution of product lines. Different products launched through different channels can satisfy the needs of different consumers for personalized skincare and healthy lifestyles to the greatest extent.

4. Long and short-term business development plans
(1) Short-term plans
A. Continue to deepen the brand spirit, “Women, Love Bravely.” Tailored precise skin care solutions are provided adhering to the principle of “appropriate timing, suitability for skin, and adequate amount.” Consolidate the quality high-end brand image by promoting the brand by varied means such as traditional media and new media, sponsoring high-end international events, organizing large brand events, and advertising through various types of media, for example to increase brand identity among consumers and to attract high-end consumers. Organize online and offline marketing events to strengthen consumer adhesion to franchise stores and various channels.
B. In terms of the professional channel, based on the marketing principle of “working deeply and elegantly,” we will deepen the management of franchises to improve the profitability of franchises and increase the overall quality of franchises in the constant pursuit of long-term robust growth.

In terms of different areas, we will continue to strengthen the management for different levels. While increasing the speed of expansion, we will also take care of the quality of branches.

(2) Market Share
The research data of Intelligence Research Group showed that the sales of cosmetics in Mainland China was expected to reach RMB 300 billion in 2019. When calculated with the revenue of RMB 1.15 billion of the Company in 2019, the market share was about 0.4%. In addition, the sales of skin care supplies (including physical care, facial care, and hand care) in 2019 accounted for 52% of the total cosmetic sales, which was RMB 156 billion. When calculated with the revenue of RMB 1.15 billion of the Company in 2019, the market share was about 0.7%.
Also, according to the research data of Intelligence Research Group, the industrial research institute, the sales were calculated with the final retail price of the products. The revenue of the Company provided above, however, did not include the income from services provided to consumers at franchise stores and was not calculated with the final retail price of the products. If the final retail price on the market was used to calculate the Company’s sales and the income from services provided to consumers at franchise stores was not included, the internal statistics of the Company showed that the sales in 2019 were around RMB 3.4 billion, accounting for around 1.1% on the market for beauty and personal care supplies in Mainland China, an increase of 0.2% from 2018 and around 2.2% on the market for skin care supplies in Mainland China, an increase of 0.5% from 2018.
The beauty brand “Chlitina” of the Company features specialized beauty services provided through its franchise system and has quickly expanded on the market. At present, it is already one of the largest beauty franchises in Mainland China and secures a place on the market for beauty and skin care in Mainland China. In light of the gigantic development potential of the beauty sector on the market in China, the fact that consumers are paying increased attention to brand image, product quality, and efficacy driven by economic development and the increase in income, the Company has complete control of its beauty and skin care products, from the upstream research and development to production and packaging and then the downstream distribution. In other words, the Company keeps sufficient track of the operational values from research and development, production, distribution, brand, and distribution channels and owns a complete industrial chain as well as the advantage of vertical integration.
The Company has control over its brand advantages, owns extensive and comprehensive distribution channels and powerful product development capabilities. The competitive barrier and strength are gradually taking shape on the fiercely competitive market for beauty and personal care supplies in China. The market share will hopefully grow on a yearly basis in the future. The market share remains mostly occupied by international brands as far as the beauty and personal care supplies are concerned in China. Most of the large household chemical enterprises with foreign investment have brand history over several decades or even hundreds of years, therefore they have indelible brand influence at home and abroad and control most of the market share in the high-end market. However, the emergence of numerous local brands in the nation, including the HERBORIST of Shanghai Jahwa United Co., Ltd, CHANDO of JALA Corporation along with INOHERB and MG, changed the competitive situation of the current cosmetic market to some extent.
(3) Future supply & demand and growth in the market
A. Beauty and personal care products market
According to the statistics of the “Analysis Report on the Market Demand Forecast and Investment Strategy Planning of the Cosmetic Industry in China” published by Qianzhan Industry Research Institute, the retail sales of domestic cosmetics will reach RMB 296.3 billion in 2019 and the mean compound annual growth rate is about 8.23% in the next five years (2019-2023). It is forecasted that the retail sales of domestic cosmetics will exceed RMB 400 billion in 2023 and reach around RMB 406.5 billion.
==> picture [419 x 207] intentionally omitted <==

Issues most concerned by consumers during the desire disappearing stage are: the public praise/evaluation of the brand/product and the specific efficacy of the product; the most significant focuses are: the brand spokesperson and whether the brand has sales promotions/price breaks or customized packaging service.

The public praise/evaluation of the brand/product is the most important factor in both shopping desire and desire disappearing stages of the consumer. Therefore, enterprises shall further invest resources in the product ingredients, efficacy and spokesperson to increase the public praise/evaluation of the brand/product.
As the rise of the ingredient-centric group, consumers seek for safe functional skin care brands with high efficacy. With the awakening to the consumer health and safety as well as the understanding of the cosmetic ingredients, the requirement of the cosmetics gradually changed from simple pursue of efficacy to the pursue of safety with high efficacy. The functional skin care products are viewed as functional cosmetics and consumers pay more attention to the ingredients of such product. When the functional skin care brands are carrying out marketing promotions, the main ingredients of the product are used as the selling point, such as the
advertorial and promotions of the new brand HFP often focuses on the product ingredients during the marketing.
According to the report of the “2019 Insights into the Personal Care Groups of the Online Cosmetics,” the hyaluronic acid, amino acid and niacinamide are the favorites of the “ingredient-centric group.” The group also begin to pay more attention to the chemical ingredients with repair functions.

The rising demand for “fineness” enables the realization of differential competition in the functional skin care market. One of the most significant consumption features regarding the post-80s and 90s generation as the main consumers of the cosmetics market is that they understand how to select rationally and emphasize personalized demands. Serving as the functional cosmetics, the trend of segmenting functional skin care products increases day by day.

In regard to the main factors attracting the customer to purchase the functional skin care products, 83% of consumers consider that functional skin care products with solutions of the problematic skin such as large pore, acne skin and sensitive skin are the main factor of the purchase considerations.

C. Development of the Beauty Franchise Sector in China
The beauty market in Mainland China at the moment remains unregulated and immature. The sector lacks management strength; competition on the market is disorderly; operation of beauty salons is yet to be of scale; practitioners have varied quality. Many factors have resulted the difficulty for the overall good will to reach a certain level. This is why beauty franchise brands that enforce franchise management beliefs, provide quality products and services, and have a sound and optimal operative system start to gradually take lead in the developments on the beauty market.
Franchises with a professional management team, a sound franchised store management and training system, a sound operation and management model, and complete combinations of beauty and cosmetic products, and quality corporate images as well as relatively high brand awareness that will be capable of leading developments on the market and will be more likely to stand out on the market among fierce competition.
The Company is a professional beauty and skin care franchise brand that operates and distributes through skin care beauty centers. Professional services provided at beauty centers help enhance product value and creditability. Comprehensive skin care and conditioning consultations create professional images in the hearts of consumers. The operational mode differs significantly from that for ordinary consumer cosmetics. The overall beauty market in Mainland China is quickly growing. In addition, the avoidance through the Company’s operational model in confronting large foreign brands will be conducive to the expansion in the Company’s operational scale.
(4) Competitive Niche
A. Differentiation in market size
The increased purchasing power and inflation in China have resulted in surging prices of commercial land and also the sudden hike in the cost of opening a store, which puts a barrier to
quick expansion of stores. The Company, however, owns a market size consisting of 4,499 stores in Mainland China as of the end of March 2020 to serve densely populated cities along the southeast coast up to the northwest areas. People in these areas are entitled to consistent quality services provided by Chlitina. We are now a benchmark brand and corporation of scale on the beauty market in Mainland China. Systematic regional management has helped effectively reduced relative store opening cost and makes immediate devotion to market operation possible to create “the great will get greater” magnetic effect and to expedite expansion of operational sites and sufficiently ensure the leading position in terms of the market size that is uneasy to be exceeded by competition. With the overall deployment and operation in Mainland China and combining the domestic brand awareness and influence at the moment, we are sufficiently powerful to develop into county-level cities without being deployed by Chlitina in the future to improve the consciousness of beauty, including Jingbian County in Shaanxi, Fuan City in Fujian, Karamay City in Xinjiang, Hebi City in Henan, Rushan City in Shandong and Xinle City in Hebei. Meanwhile, we also precisely penetrate the daily life circle with consistent service specifications and quality. For different areas, we continue to reinforce classified management to enhance the store expansion speed and take care of the store expansion quality at the same time to seize the potential market with limited brand share. In 2020, the Company will invest certain resources in county-level cities without any brand deployment to strengthen the sustainable development of the local markets. In addition, as of the end of March 2020, the Company owns a market size consisting of 298 and 25 franchised stores in Taiwan and in Southeast Asia, respectively, and the development is at the ultra-high speed stage. The Company intends to copy the successful experience in Mainland China and modify it in order to apply it to other markets around the world to realize quick scale-up expansions.
B. Autonomous product R&D capabilities
The Company has enriched formula development experiences and is capable of designing products with the best CP ratio according to price positioning on the market. Our outstanding product lines include home supplies and professional care packages to support professional skin care regimens.
The Company is capable of autonomous research and development and owns a complete product line. It can develop various kinds of tailored quality products reflective of the different climate zones and personal skin conditions to address the needs of Asian skin and to meet the needs of the market in Mainland China known for its large territory and stiff competition The products of the Company, with its own formula design and development of the manufacturing technique to differentiate itself on the market, cannot be reproduced in either quality or efficacy. Most cosmetics companies on the market have an R&D department that relies on suppliers to provide the formula and have raw materials coming from specific manufacturers. As a result, they cannot change the formula or raw materials on their own and have no control over the cost. Meanwhile, our production facilities are certified by both the UK Intertek GMP and ISO 9001; the quality is highly recognized. The advanced vacuum emulsifying and mixing process and continuous cooling system, the high-speed cutting and mixing process, and the micro-flow collision high-pressure homogenizing process, among other protection technologies are combined to ensure outstanding quality.
In 2020, the Company will further invest in the research and development in regenerative medicine. The hope is to improve the competitive advantages of existing products, existing channels, and cosmetic medicine channels applying the technology and medical efficacy. C. Advantages of Self-Brands
Brands reflect products or corporate core values. Chlitina, with many years of history on the consumer market in Mainland China, has become a well-known brand and also a high-end and highly well-reputed one. Its consumers are perceived as people with a personal taste and social
status. Therefore, it is a successful example that counterparts look up to. The Company also has pleasant partnerships with all parties concerned, making it a role model in terms of sound and steady operations.
- D. Outstanding Training Capabilities
Training is key to maintaining service quality and winning recognition among consumers. As one of the most capable quality beauty franchises in Mainland China in terms of training, the Company owns a training academy that can accommodate more than 2,000 people at the same time. Since 1997, it has been meant to provide training to quality beauty professionals and talent. Focusing on developing a continuous career path, the training consists of three stages for beauty elites; they are Basic Training, Beauty Ambassador, and Advanced Adviser. The classes cover different topics, including corporate culture, beauty regimen planning, personal professional image shaping, lecturer education, customer mindset and talking points, store management practice, basic/high-end products and general skin care skills, advanced warehouse management and market exploration ability, business development advanced seminars, as well as new products and skin care knowledge, among others.
For managers wishing to join the franchise, systematic training that is suitable for new and existing store managers is provided and relatively mature franchisees on the market are encouraged to share their successful stories so that new franchisees can get on the right track as soon as possible and devote themselves to operations on the market and operational risk may be reduced and management may be effectively united.
E. Vertical Integration of Industrial Chain
The Company has the development and production of the formulas for skin care products in the upstream and the production and packaging of skin care products and also the distribution of skin care products in the downstream within its own control. The operational values of the Company including R&D, production, distribution, brand, and channels form the complete integrative advantages in the big health industry.
-
(5) Advantageous and Disadvantageous Factors and Countermeasures for the Development Vision
-
A. Advantageous Factors
-
(A) Cluster Effect of Well-Known Brand Franchises
The competition among brands on the beauty market in Mainland China is fierce, with varying qualities. Currently, Chlitina owns more than 4000 physical operation sites on the Mainland China market, thanks to its years of devotion to the local market and the consolidated brand loyalty established as such, which effectively reinforces the approval and preference among the general public. Meanwhile, the cluster effect contributes to “the great will get greater” magnetic effect so that the corporate territory can be steadily expanded.
- (B) Rooted Corporate Image
Chlitina was honored by the “China Well-Known Trademark” in 2011; it is the highest corporate trademark approved by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the People’s Republic of Chin. Other well-known corporate brands that have also been honored by such trademark include Acer, BenQ, Uni-president, Giant, among others. The trademark means that the brand awareness, good will, and customer service are well recognized by both the government and consumers.
Meanwhile, Chlitina saves no effort in its corporate social responsibilities (CSRs) by proactively taking part in and organizing social care events and sponsoring cultural and artistic events. Taking advantage of its own resources, the Company is making the best of the selfless “loving and sharing” spirit so that those in need can feel the warmth from society. The physical devotion to charities is well received as it means that the corporate brand is highly approved by the general public and by the government. This services as the absolute market niche.
- (C) Mainland China's Strategy to Increase Domestic Demand to Drive the Economy and New Urbanization
According to the “2019 National Economic and Social Development Statistics Bulletin” published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the GDP growth was 6.1% for the Mainland region and the tertiary industries’ GDP accounted for 53.9% of the total national GDP. The service industry continued to grow due to driving factors such as the constant deepening of the supply-side structural reform and the coordinated regional development. Year-on-Year Growth of 6.9% in Value Added by the Third Industry Urbanization remained as the national developmental strategy. Permanent population in urban areas accounted for 60.6% of the overall population and the per-capita disposable income of urban residents increased by 7.9% from the preceding year. The urbanization process and increased per capita disposable income of urban residents indicates the great potential of the consumer product market in China, especially the cosmetics and service industries. The GDP is expected to keep growing steadily and the macro environment remains promising. Both provide robust development momentum and expansion opportunities for the Company to scale up its business operation scale.
(D) Professional Talent Education
Chlitina owns an educational training center that is about 6,000 square meters in area in Songjiang, Shanghai. The European-style elegant building and modern hardware space houses various specialized classrooms and dormitories for centralized management. The most professional and advanced service skills and knowledge training is provided. New students have correct concepts created and build brand awareness as soon as they begin training. Focused on continuous career development, the beauty elite training consists of three stages, namely Basic Training, Beauty Ambassador, and Advanced Adviser. Classes cover contents such as “basic store management program for new franchisees,” “basic/high-end product and general skin care skills,” “advanced warehouse management and market expansion capabilities,” “business development advanced seminar,” “new product and skin care knowledge,” among others. Outstanding beauty professionals receive the required training. Consistent high-quality services are provided to meet the manpower demand while the number of stores keeps growing. Software and hardware are upgraded simultaneously. Best results are accomplished by word of mouth and brand visibility. On a market with fierce competition, Chlitina has gradually accumulated explosive growth momentum.
- (E) Regulations Governing Services Provided in the Beauty Sector
The requirements of Chlitina for systems and guidelines are all in compliance with regulations governing services provided in the beauty sectors promulgated in Mainland China and through organized education and counseling, more rigid requirements are communicated in order to stand out in the mist of competition in beauty business.
(F) Self-owned R&D Capabilities and R&D in Regenerative Medicine
a. Fundamental Research Experienced R&D people constantly collect and analyze various latest publications and study reports on skin physiology to be the basis for their research and production so that the benefits and forward-looking nature of products can be ensured. The research includes the aging mechanism, cause for melanin to occur and synthesize, skin moisturizing and reconstruction of the barrier mechanism, and allergic and immune response, among other biochemical pathways. Active ingredients capable of antagonizing, promoting, or inhibiting various biochemical reactions are being sought in order to come up with products with powerful and comprehensive formula functionality.
- b. Formulation Research
Professional knowledge such as interface chemistry and colloid chemistry is flexibly applied to different formulations such as soluble, melt adhesive, dispersion, suspension, emulsion and microemulsion, and nano-emulsion to design formulas that are well received by the senses,
such as enhanced, extended-release, tactile, fragrant, and skin feel.
c. Process Research Different mechanical forces are applied (such as mixing, cutting, shredding, grinding, and homogenizing) to realize consistent and steady mass production quality. Senior researchers combine three professional techniques and experiences to constantly develop novel products for which mass production is possible and whose quality is stable.
d. Research in Regenerative Medicine Experts in the field of regenerative medicine at well-known national research institutes are combined to apply the R&D advantages and results of regenerative medicine to existing products and existing channels and to contribute to the innovation of products and regimens. B. Disadvantageous Factors and Countermeasures
(A) Change in Cosmetologists
Professional beauticians are the mainstay of beauty salons, it takes two years to complete the educational training. However, due to the high turnover rate in the overall environment, the skills of beauticians vary from one another. In addition, due to fierce market competition, it’s easy to cause the high turnover rate of professional beauticians.
Response measures:
Internal statistics show that the retention rate among cosmetologists who have attended centralized corporate training twice within a year can reach above 90%. The original centralized training and education that occur at the main office is now changed to take place at respective areas in provinces throughout the country in order to reduce the time, transportation, among other costs, spent and to accordingly enhance the staff retention rate. Meanwhile, product information may be updated at any time and the latest service educational training may be provided.
Chlitina owns the complete educational training mechanism. The training available for beauty elites consists of three stages; they are Basic Training, Beauty Ambassador, and Advanced Adviser. Reinforced learning is provided to meet the needs for market deployment and reflect the learning phase. Intensive educational learning programs are organized to provide complete and long-lasting professional human resources.
(B) Changing Commodity Prices Affect Operational Cost
Due to the fact that products of Chlitina feature extract essence from natural plants, major raw materials, including Rose vanilla pollen, marine algae, vitamin, amino acids, and various types of precious plants, come from different places and this results in the production cost being affected by the availability of raw materials because of the climate. As far as the packing materials are concerned, there is paper, plastic, and glass and the importation prices of these materials are also affected due to fluctuating crude oil prices.
Response measures:
Despite the fact that the fluctuating prices in botanical materials and crude oil have slightly driven up the costs of commodities and hardware, the overall expanded systematic scale relatively reduces the operational cost. Besides, the main source of cost for Chlitina comes from the operational cost of channels that offer exquisite services. Compared to pricing of products, the costs of raw materials account for a relatively small weight for the Company. Meanwhile, educational training for staff and the organization adds to the value of service and by applying digital technology, distant education and circulation of information are boosted, which can also relatively reduce the cost of training.
2. Important purpose and production process of major products
(1) Important purpose of major products
The Company mainly supplies skin care and beauty care products for use by women on their face to care for their skin and to accomplish whitening, softening, wrinkle-removing, and

Goods are supplied centrally by the Company to franchised stores as well and consistent corporate logos are created. Only the Company’s products are allowed at franchised stores.
(2) Production process of major products

Please explain the reasons for changes in each financial ratio during the most recent two years. (Analysis is not required if the magnitude of increase or decrease is less than 20%). 1 、 Financial structure Increase in liability to asset ratio: Mainly due to the addition of the user right-associated assets and lease liabilities in compliance with the IFRS16, causing the increase in the total liability ratio. Increase in long-term capital accounted for real estate, plant and equipment ratio: Mainly due to the increase in the lease liabilities in compliance with the IFRS16, causing the increase in the long-term capital. 2 、 Debt-paying ability The decrease in multiple of interest protection: Mainly due to the increase in interest expenses in the current period. 3 、 Operational ability Increase in accounts receivable turnover rate and decrease in average cash collection days: Mainly due to the reduction of current balance of accounts receivable. 4 、 Profitability Increase/decrease is less than 20%. 5 、 Cash flow Increase/decrease is less than 20%. 6 、 Leverage Increase/decrease is less than 20%.
Note 1: As of the issue date, the 2020 Q1 financial statements checked by the accountants have not been released. Note 2: The calculation has not been done due to absence of such information as the net cash flows from the operating activities and capital expenditure in the most recent five years.
-
Note 3: The calculation formula for each financial ratio is shown in the following table:
-
- Financial structure
-
(1) Liability to asset ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets
-
(2) Long-term capital accounted for real estate, plant and equipment ratio = (Total equity + Non-current liabilities) / Net of real estate, plant, and equipment.
-
Debt-paying ability
-
(1) Current ratio = Current asset / Current liabilities.
-
(2) Quick ratio = (Current asset - Inventory - Advance payments) / Current liabilities.
-
(3) Times interest earned = Pre-net income of income tax and interest expense / Current interest expenditures.
-
- Operational ability
-
(1) Turnover of amounts receivable (including the accounts receivable and notes receivable incurred in operation) = net sales / average balance of the accounts receivables of each period (including the accounts receivable and notes receivable incurred in operation).
-
(2) Average cash collection days = 365 / Accounts receivable turnover rate.
-
(3) Inventory turnover rate = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory amount.
-
(4) Turnover of amounts payable (including the accounts payable and notes payable incurred in operation) = sales costs / average balance of the amounts payable of each period (including the accounts payable and notes
payable incurred in operation).
-
(5) Average days on goods sold = 365 / Inventory turnover rate.
-
(6) Real estate, plant and equipment turnover rate = Net income of goods sold / Average net income of real estate, plant and equipment.
-
(7) Total assets turnover rate = Net income of goods sold / Average total assets.
-
- Profitability
-
(1) Return on assets = [After-tax income (loss) + Interest expense × (1 - Tax rate)] / Average total assets.
-
(2) Return on equity = After-tax income (loss) / Average total equity.
-
(3) Net profit margin = After-tax income (loss) / Net income of goods sold.
-
(4) EPS = (After-tax income (loss) attributable to the owner of the parent company - Preferred stock dividends) / Weighted average number of outstanding shares.
-
Cash flow
-
(1) Cash flow rate = Net cash flow from operating activities / Current liabilities.
-
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = Net cash flow from operating activities during the most recent five years / (Capital spending + Inventory increase amount + Cash dividends) during the most recent five years.
-
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (Net cash flow from operating activities - Cash dividends) / (Gross amount of real estate, plant, and equipment + Long-term investment + Other non-current liabilities + Operating fund).
-
Leverage:
-
(1) Operating leverage = (Net income of operating - Change of operating costs and expense) / Operating benefits.
-
(2) Financial leverage = Operating benefits / (Operating benefits - Interest expense).

IV Financial statements for the recent year
CHLITINA HOLDING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018
For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.
~1~
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Chlitina Holding Limited
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chlitina Holding Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 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 of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matters in relation to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are outlined as follows:
~2~
Accuracy of sales discounts and allowances calculation and recognition
Description
Refer to Note 4(28) for accounting policy on sales discounts and allowances.
The Group offers sales discounts and allowances to customers based on mutual agreement which is recorded as deduction to operating revenue. Given its mathematical complexity, large volume and its significance in determining the Group’s operating performance and financial condition for the investors and key management, we consider it one of the key audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
A. Tested whether the internal controls over sales and collection process (including manual and system controls) are effectively designed and performed.
-
B. Obtained documentation reviewed and approved by key management to verify whether the estimates and calculation on sales discounts and allowances are accurate.
-
C. Tested selected samples of sales discounts and allowances transaction, reviewed the supporting documentation and confirmed whether they are accurate.
Accounting estimates on inventory valuation
Description
Refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policy on inventory valuation, Note 5 for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation and Note 6(4) for details of inventories.
The Group is primarily engaged in the research and development, manufacturing and sales of skincare products. Due to the short expiration dates of its products, the Group is exposed to higher risks of inventory valuation loss or overdue loss when purchase orders are modified or product demand deteriorates unexpectedly. The Group evaluates inventories stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value and recognises provision based on the length of time to the products’ expiration date .
Since the amount of inventories is significant, the inventory items are numerous, the evaluation of inventories is subject to management’s judgement and the accounting estimations will have a significant influence on the inventory values, we consider the evaluation of inventories as one of the key audit matters.
~3~
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
A. Assessed whether the policy on the allowance for inventory valuation loss is reasonable based on our understanding of the Group’s operations and industry.
-
B. Tested whether the market value on which the net realisable value is estimated is consistent with the Group’s policy, and validated, on a test basis, the selling price and the accuracy of net realisable value calculation.
-
C. Obtained the detailed listings of products’ expiration date, and inspected the related supporting documents and proper recognition in the financial statements.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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.
-
B. 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.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. 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 auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. 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.
-
F. 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.
~5~
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 of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
(1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:

| IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’ | January 1, 2019 |

| IFRIC 23, ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’ | January 1, 2019 |
| Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle | January 1, 2019 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
~13~
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
-
A. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
-
B. The Group has elected to apply IFRS 16 by not restating the comparative information (referred herein as the ‘modified retrospective approach’) when applying “IFRSs” effective in 2019 as endorsed by the FSC. Accordingly, the Group increased ‘right-of-use asset’ by CNY $49,372 (TWD $220,791), increased ‘lease liability’ by CNY $45,019 (TWD $201,325) and decreased prepaid rents by CNY $4,353 (TWD $19,466) with respect to the lease contracts of lessees on January 1, 2019.
-
C. The Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard at the date of initial application of IFRS 16:
-
(a) The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
-
(b) The accounting for operating leases whose period will end before December 31, 2019 as shortterm leases and accordingly, rent expense of CNY $323 (TWD $1,443) was recognised for the year ended December 31, 2019.
-
(c) The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of ‘right-of-use asset’.
-
D. The Group calculated the present value of lease liabilities by using weighted average incremental borrowing interest rate ranging from 2.64% to 3.915%.
-
E. The Group recognised lease liabilities which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, ‘Leases’. The reconciliation between operating lease commitments under IAS 17 measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate and lease liabilities recognised as of January 1, 2019 is as follows:
| follows: | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CNY | TWD | |||
| Operating lease commitments disclosed | $ | 54,995 |
$ | 245,938 |

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International
~15~
Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
~16~
- (e) When t1he Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Both of the Company’s functional and presentation currency are TWD, however, the functional currency of the significant operating components of the Group is CNY, thus the consolidated financial statements are presented in CNY.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
(a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
(b) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
-
(c) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
C. On December 31, 2019 and 2018, the spot exchange rates of CNY to TWD were CNY $1=TWD $4.3050 and CNY $1=TWD $4.4720, respectively, and the average exchange rates of CNY to TWD were CNY $1=TWD $4.4686 and CNY $1=TWD $4.5568, respectively.
~21~
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. 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.
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
~22~
(8) Financial assets at amortised cost
-
A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(9) Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(10) Impairment of financial assets
For financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(11) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
(12) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal
~23~
operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(13) Investments accounted for using equity method - associates
-
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
-
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
C When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises the Group’s share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
-
D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
E. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
(14) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
~24~
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
-
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings and structures 18 ~ 20 years Transportation equipment 2 ~ 10 years Machinery equipment 3 ~ 10 years Office and other equipment 2 ~ 10 years
(15) Leasing arrangements (lessee) - right-of-use assets/lease liabilities
Effective 2019
-
A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of lowvalue assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
-
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:
-
(a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; and
-
(b) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
~25~
(16) Operating leases (lessee)
Prior to 2019
Payments made under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(17) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 years.
(18) Intangible assets
- A. Licences
Separately acquired licences are stated at historical cost. Licences acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Licences have a finite useful life and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 13 to 15 years.
- B. Computer software
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 5 years.
C. Goodwill
Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
(19) Impairment of non-financial assets
-
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
-
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill are evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
-
C. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill
~26~
is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
(20) Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised costs; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
(21) Notes and accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(22) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(23) Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
- (a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
(b) Defined benefit plans
- i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.
~27~
-
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
-
iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
-
C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal obligation or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
- (24) Employee share based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and nonvesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(25) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
-
C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is
~28~
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(26) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(27) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(28) Revenue recognition
A. Sales of goods
-
(a) The Group manufactures and sells skincare products, health care products and other products. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customers, the customers has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customers’ acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customers, and either the customers have accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
-
(b) The skincare products and health care products are often sold with volume discounts based on aggregate sales over a 1-month period. Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts and sales discounts and allowances. The Group calculates sales discounts and allowances based on the actual
~29~
sales in current month. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur, and is settled at each reporting date. The sales usually are made with a credit term of advance receipts before goods are shipped to customers, which is consistent with market practice. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.
-
(c) A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
-
B. The Group manages franchises and provides beautician training services. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Franchise contract include multiple deliverables that shall be rendered by the Group, such as store equipment, beautician training and others. In most cases, the beautician training can be provided by another party, therefore beautician training is accounted for us a separate performance obligation. The transaction price will be allocated to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling prices. Where these are not directly observable, they are estimated based on expected cost plus margin. If contracts include the sales of store equipment, revenue for the store equipment is recognised at a point in time when the store equipment is delivered, the legal title has passed and the customer has accepted the store equipment.
(29) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
(30) Business combinations
- A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisitionrelated costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the Group measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be measured at the acquisition-date fair value.
~30~
- B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquire recognised and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
(31) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker. The Group’s Chief Operating Decision-Maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The Group’s Chief Operating Decision-Maker has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION
UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
None.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the short expiration dates of its products, the Group evaluates the amounts of expired products or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value.
As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of inventories was CNY$88,870 (TWD$382,585).

Year ended December 31,2018 |
|---|---|
| 1.375% 3.000% |
Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 5th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

| Increase Decrease - 0.25% 0.25% December 31, 2019 Impact on present value of defined benefit obligation 34) ($ 35 $ December 31, 2018 Impact on present value of defined benefit obligation 38) ($ 39 $ Discount rate Increase Decrease - 0.25% 0.25% December 31, 2019 Impact on present value of defined benefit obligation 145) ($ 150 $ December 31, 2018 Impact on present value of defined benefit obligation 170) ($ 177 $ Discount rate |

|---|---|
The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net defined benefit liabilities in the balance sheet are the same.
The method and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

(1) Capital management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure and the confidence of investors, creditors and market, to return compensation on shareholders.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the liability ratio. This ratio is calculated as total liability divided by total assets.
During 2019, the Group’s strategy was to maintain the liability ratio within reasonable range, which was unchanged from 2018. The liability ratios at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
| Liability ratio | December31,2019 46% |
December31,2018 |
|---|---|---|
| 36% |

-
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
-
i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk arising from the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries used in various functional currency, primarily with respect to the USD and CNY. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.
-
ii. Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The companies are required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Group’s treasury. Exchange rate risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable USD and CNY expenditures. Natural hedging are adopted to minimise the volatility of the exchange rate affecting cost of held foreign assets or liabilities.
-

Price risk
The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in US Dollars.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of debt instruments stated at amortised cost.
-
ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
-
iii. The Group adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.
-
iv. The Group adopts the following assumption under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:
If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
v. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:
-
(i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation due to their financial difficulties;
-
(ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
-
(iii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;
-
(iv) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.
-
vi. The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable in accordance with customer types. The Group applies the simplified approach to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.
~73~
-
vii. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights. On December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group has no written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures.
-
viii. The Group’s accounts receivable are with customers who have optimal credit rating, and the expected credit loss rate is 0.03%. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying amount of accounts receivable (including related parties) amounted to CNY $221 (TWD $954) and CNY $1,077 (TWD $4,818), respectively. Because the Group expects that the impairment from expected credit loss is insignificant, no loss allowance was recognised.
-
ix. For investments in debt instruments at amortised cost, the credit rating levels are presented below:

The financial assets at amortised cost held by the Group are the time deposits with maturity term of over three months, and no material issues of credit rating levels were incurred.
(c) Liquidity risk
-
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs on its mature liabilities on general and stressful conditions so that the Group approach the risk target that does not occur the unacceptable losses or breach their reputation.
-
ii. Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are invested in interest bearing demand deposits, time deposits and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned forecasts.
~74~

(3) Fair value information
-
A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks and beneficiary certificates is included in Level 1.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
-
B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

VI Analyze and assess the risks during the most recent year and up to the date of publication of this annual report:
-
Notes to the risks of overseas business establishment or subsidiary meeting one of the standards for important subsidiaries stipulated in Paragraph 2, Article 2-1 of the rules for accountants to assure financial statements in the most recent fiscal year shall be added: The subsidiaries of the Company comply with the aforesaid standards for the recognition of the so-called “important business establishment or subsidiary” include Chlitina Group Limited, Chlitina International Limited, Chlitina Intelligence Limited, Chlitina Marketing Limited, Hong Kong Chlitina International Limited, Chlitina (China) Trade Limited and W-Amber (Shanghai) Daily Product Limited. Notes shall be made to local economic profile, changes in political and economic environment, foreign exchange control, taxes and relevant laws, and whether the effect of civil decisions of Chinese courts is acknowledged, other risks and countermeasures. 2. Foreign issuing companies shall also brief the economic profile, changes in political and economic environment, foreign exchange control taxes and relevant laws of the country where a foreign issuing company is incorporated and the main country of operation, and the risks of whether the civil decisions of Chinese courts are acknowledged, and the countermeasures taken:
-
(1) Country of incorporation: Cayman Islands
-
A. Economic profile and changes in the political and economic environment
The Cayman Islands is an autonomous British overseas territory in the West Indies. It is in the Caribbean Sea, which is 268km away from Jamaica in the northwest and 640km away from the south of Miami. It mainly consists of three islands. It is an overseas territory of UK. George Town is its capital and commercial center. Its economic revenue mainly comes from the financial service industry. Now, it has become the 5th financial center in the world after New York, London, Tokyo and Hong Kong. It has many professional service agencies in law and accounting, and can render rapid and convenient services.
Companies incorporated in Cayman Islands can be divided into five categories, namely, ordinary company, ordinary no-resident company, exempted company, exempted limited duration company and foreign company. Among them, the exempted company has been usually used by enterprises and individuals of other countries for financial planning because an exempted company cannot operate locally. In recent years, the Cayman government has actively strengthened its reputation of its offshore financial operations while vigorously developing the financial, insurance and shipping businesses. It has concluded the “Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty” with the US and UK for joint prevention of illegal transactions of international criminal organizations by making use of the financial system of Cayman. To sum up, the Company is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company, and has no material operating activities there. Moreover, the Cayman Islands have been stable in politics for a long time. Its general economic profile and changes in political and economic environment have no material impact on operation of the Company.
B. Foreign exchange control and tax risks and relevant laws Cayman Islands have no control over foreign exchanges. Except for the annual license fee, exempted companies currently are free from the income tax or value-added tax. See below for the laws and regulations of Cayman Islands on exempted companies:
(A) An exempted company is prohibited from operating business within the territory of Cayman Islands unless such business has direct help to the offshore business of the company.
(B) Unless approved by the Financial Secretary of Cayman Islands, an exempted company cannot hold any land within the territory of Cayman Islands. Exempted companies that do not list in the stock exchange of Cayman Islands cannot invite citizens of Cayman Islands to subscribe to their shares or bonds.
(C) The Company Law of Cayman Islands does not have such provisions that a company must hold annual shareholders meetings. Such company shall hold meetings of shareholders and the board of directors as stipulated in the Articles of Incorporation, which may not necessarily be held in Cayman Islands. According to the Articles of Incorporation (“Articles of Incorporation of the listed company”) of the Company passed through resolutions of the shareholders meeting held on June 19, 2014, the Company shall hold the general meetings within six months after the end of each fiscal year or other period approved by the stock exchange; moreover, the Articles of Incorporation of the listed company also stipulate that during the stock listing period, the shareholders meetings of the Company shall be held within the territory of the Republic of China.
(D) The offering of new shares shall be subject to the resolutions of the board of directors. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company stipulate that the new common stock offering of the Company shall be subject to the consent of over half of the directors present at a board meeting within more than 2/3 of the board members present. The Company is prohibited from offering shares whose capital stock has not been paid or has been paid partially.
(E) An exempted company does not need to submit or declare detailed materials of shareholders to or with the company registry of Cayman Islands. According to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the board of directors shall keep the register of shareholders at an appropriate place within or beyond the territory of Cayman Islands.
(F) The register of shareholders of an exempted company is not necessarily accessible by the public.
(G) An exempted company may apply to the government of Cayman Islands for commitment of tax-free. The valid period of the commitment applied for the first time is 20 years. The commitment may be applied for update before its expiration.
(H) An exempted company may apply for deregistration, and transfer the place of incorporation to other countries.
(I) An exempted company may be registered as an exempted limited duration company. A limited duration company shall have at least two shareholders and the duration of operation of 30 years at most.
(J) Since the laws of Cayman Islands on the protection of minority interest vary from the laws of the Republic of China and other regions with jurisdiction, the Company has, according to the such laws of the Republic of China as the Securities and Exchange Act and requirements of competent authority, amended the Articles of Incorporation within the scope permitted by the laws of Cayman Islands to guarantee the shareholders’ interests of Taiwan investors.
(K) Unless otherwise approved, such words as bank, trust, mutual fund, insurance, royal, imperial, empire, assurance, building society or reinsurance shall not appear in a company’s name; moreover, the registration documents shall be written in English.
To sum up, since the Cayman Islands implements the open policy to foreign exchanges, and have no relevant control restriction, it has no material impact on the Company’s capital use. Moreover, the local government has granted tax preference policies to exempted companies, and has no major restrictions on the operation of exempted companies, with the exception of the aforesaid operation with the territory of Cayman Islands, inviting Cayman citizens to subscribe their shares or bonds, purchasing land within the territory of Cayman Islands and the company name, while the Company is only a holding company incorporated in Cayman Islands
and has no operating activities there. Therefore, the Company’s incorporation in Cayman Islands, the taxes and relevant laws of Cayman Islands have no material impact on the overall operation of the Company.
-
C. Whether acknowledge the civil decision effect of Chinese court
-
(A) Risk of claim:
The Company is an exempted company incorporated in Cayman Islands, and has not applied for a license from the Ministry of Economic Affairs as stipulated in the Company Law of Taiwan, but the Articles of Incorporation have explicitly stipulated that Taipei District Court shall be the court of first instance for several shareholders’ interests protection affairs. Moreover, the Company has appointed the agent ad litem and non-agent ad litem within the territory of the Republic of China as required by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation, but where any investor files a lawsuit against the Company or its person-in-charge with the Republic of China court, the court may judge the existence of jurisdiction and the means of service in light of the case nature and plot, and require that the investor states the foreign laws involved in the case, therefore, not all kinds of cases can receive substantive judgment at a court of the Republic of China court.
- (B) Risk of decision acknowledgment and execution:
The Cayman Islands laws have not explicitly stipulated that the civil decisions made by courts of the Republic of China court (decision” made by the court of the Republic of China court”) shall be executed in Cayman Islands, but according to its common law, the decision made by a court of the Republic of China shall comply with the following requirements, only thus will a Cayman Islands court acknowledge its validity and execute it: (1) the foreign court making such decision has the jurisdiction; (2) the decision has explicitly stated that the debtor shall bear the obligation of paying the liquidated sum stated in the decision; (3) the decision shall be final; (4) do not involve taxes, fines and amercement; and (5) the way to obtain the decision, the decision acknowledgement and execution do not violate the principle of fairness and justice or the public policy of Cayman Islands.
If the court of Cayman Islands does not acknowledge the decision of a Chinese court, even if the investor has obtained the decision, it cannot be executed. Therefore, the investor may encounter the risk of being unable to successfully make claims abroad. The investors shall know the legal risks with the securities issued by foreign issuers.
- D. Does China has to extradite the defendant to China for trial
The securities regulator of Cayman Islands where the Company is incorporated has executed the “Multilateral Memorandum of International Securities Regulators.” The Financial Supervisory Commission of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China shall, according to the memo, apply to the securities regulator of Cayman Islands for submission of relevant information or documents, including but not limited to the current records (including the bank and account records regarding fund and asset transfer) enough to rebuild the transactions of securities and derivative financial commodities. Since the memo does not have any provisions on extradition, Taiwan cannot apply to the Cayman Islands to extradite the defendants to Taiwan according to the memo. Next, Taiwan has not executed any agreement for reciprocal judicial assistance in criminal cases with Cayman Islands. To sum up, Taiwan may face the risk of unable to apply to Cayman to extradite the defense to Taiwan for trial.
-
E. Risk with the governing law due to the difference between the laws of Cayman Islands and the laws of the Republic of China
-
(A) The Company is a company established according to the laws of Cayman Islands. In order to list in Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation, the Company has modified its Articles of Incorporation according to relevant laws of the Republic of China to secure the shareholders’
rights. As for the matters uncovered in the Articles of Incorporation, the Company will handle them according to relevant laws of Cayman Islands and the laws of the Republic of China governing foreign issuers. Given the differences between the laws of Cayman Islands and the Taiwan laws on corporate operations, the investors cannot apply the opinions on protecting the legal rights when investing in Taiwan companies to the investments in a Cayman company. Therefore, the investors shall indeed know and consult with experts on whether the shareholders’ interests can be secured when investing in a Cayman company.
(B) Since the differences between Cayman Islands and the Republic of China in laws and stock exchange regulations will probably cause conflicts in governing law or interpretation, the resolution of conflicts in governing law or interpretation is still subject to the court decision. Therefore, the investors are hereby reminded to aware that when they intend to apply to a count of the Cayman Islands to execute a Taiwan court decision, or file a lawsuit or apply to a court of the Cayman Islands for execution of relevant rights, the court of the Cayman Islands will not necessarily recognize the Taiwan laws and practices (including but not limited to the way of equity transfer and records of equity holders), which will probably incur the risks of exercising rights to foreign companies.
F. An investor, when trading the listed, OTC and emerging stocks, shall prudently assess whether its financial position and capacity fit for investment, and pay close attention to the following issues:
(A) Since the Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and subject to the laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The provisions on corporate governance, accounting standards and taxation may probably vary from the Chinese provisions and are different from the Chinese provisions on listing and OTC, review method, information disclosure, shareholder’s equity protection and regulation applicable to enterprises incorporated in China. Therefore, the investors shall know this and other potential investment risks.
(B) The contents of the company law of the place where the Company is incorporated on the exercise and guarantee of shareholders’ rights vary from the Chinese laws. The investors shall carefully read the annual reports and Articles of Incorporation of a company to know the capital increase and reduction procedures, disposal of the shares obtained, restrictions on equity transfer, notification period of a shareholders meeting, attendance to the shareholders meetings and exercise of the right to vote, dividend distribution ratio and procedure, director selection and removal methods, rights of the board of directors, functions and powers of the independent directors and the audit committee, remuneration of directors and managers, directors and managers’ claim against the company for compensation, and other important affairs concerning the corporate governance and shareholders’ rights. When necessary, the investors shall consult the opinions of professionals, such as the lawyers and accountants who have obtained the local license.
(C) The investors, when making investments, shall know the characteristics and risks of the company, including the liquidity risk when trading in the Chinese market, financial risk of the company, and risks with the political, economic and social changes, changes in the industrial prosperity cyclical changes, law observance, etc. of the place of incorporation and the main place of operation.
(D) Since the foreign securities investment risks and the factors influencing the market cannot be illustrated one by one, the investors shall, prior to each transaction, carefully read the public information released in the annual reports, and reckon on factors which will probably influence the investment judgment prudently to fulfill the financial planning and risk assessment well and avoid unbearable losses arising from the transactions.
(2) Main country of operations: British Virgin Islands (BVI)
The major subsidiaries of the Company in the main country of operation include Chlitina Group Limited, Chlitina International Limited, Chlitina Intelligence Limited and Chlitina Marketing Limited, which are all established according to the BVI laws. See below for details about the risks:
- A. Economic profile and changes in the political and economic environment
BVI are a British overseas territory in the Caribbean and to the east of Puerto Rico. The BVI and the adjacent U.S. Virgin Islands and the Virgin Islands of Spain are collectively referred to as the Virgin Islands. Currently, BVI are a British overseas territory featured by autonomous management, legislation through the independent legislative council and stable politics. The economic revenues of BVI mainly come from the tourism and financial services. The USD has become its common currency since 1959, and its official language is English.
- B. Risks of foreign exchange control, laws and taxes
BVI have no control over foreign exchanges. Except for the government license tax to the local government, and the fees for using the registered address and registered agent, which are paid annually, the offshore income of business companies incorporated in BVI is free from the corporate tax, capital gains tax or property tax or other taxes applicable to business companies. BVI business companies may obtain special exemption from paying the income tax. The Income Tax Act also exempts the business companies from following relevant provisions in the Stamp Duty Tax and the Registration and Recording Act for the documents or contracts involved in operations of the business companies, including transaction in which a business company transfers its property to another business company or transactions involving the corporate securities. The people living and working in BVI only pay few salaries tax. In terms of laws and regulations, according to the 2004 BVI Law for Business Companies, a company may not declare or distribute dividends unless its directors believe that after the dividend distribution, A. the company can still repay its debts falling due; and B. the assets of the company are more than its liabilities.
- C. Whether or not acknowledge the effect of the civil decision of courts of the Republic of China court
The BVI laws have not explicitly stipulated that the civil decision made a court of the Republic of China court (“decision made by a court of the Republic of China”) shall be executed in BVI. The BVI court will deem the final decision made by a Taiwan court requiring a company to pay certain amount (other than the multiplied damages, taxes or other amounts of similar nature, or fines or other amercement) to certain people as valid, and will make a decision accordingly, but A. the Taiwan court shall have appropriate jurisdiction to the parties involved in the decision; B. the Taiwan court has not violated the principle of natural justice of BVI; C. such decision has not been obtained by means of cheating; D. the execution of such decision will not violate the public policies of BVI; E. the BVI court, before making a decision, has not received any new evidence adopted and related to the lawsuit; and F. it has followed the due process under the BVI laws.
- (3) Main country of operations: Hong Kong
The important subsidiary of the Company in the main country of operation is Hong Kong Chlitina International Limited that mainly engages in the investment and sale of skincare products. See below for details about relevant risks:
- A. Economic profile and changes in the political and economic environment
Hong Kong is located atthe coast ofthe South China Sea and eastside of the Pearl River estuary. It adjoinsGuangdong andShenzhenin the north, can seethe Wanshan Islandsin the south, and adjacent toMacaoandGuangdongZhuhaiin the west. Hong Kong consists of the Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories, and 263 islands in total. In 1984, Hong Kong and UK
concluded the “Sino-British Joint Declaration.” On July 1, 1997, the sovereignty of Hong Kong was handed over, and the SAR was established. Hong Kong implements the “Basic Law of Hong Kong” which stipulates explicitly that Hong Kong does not implementthe socialism, and will continue its capitalismand way of lifefor fifty years. Besidesthe national defenseandforeign affairs, Hong Kong enjoys high degree of autonomyin all the other affairsand the right to participate in internationalaffairs, which is called “the Hong Kong people administer Hong Kong, and a high degree of autonomy.” Now, it hasan important placein the Asia-Pacific area, and it isa modern international metropolisfocusing on industry and business, and is called “one of the four Asian tigers” and the “ Nylonkong.” Hong Kong is an important internationalhub offinance, serviceandshipping, and famous for its incorruptible society, excellentpublic order,economic freedomandperfectlegal system.
Locally incorporated companies may establish private joint stock companies or incorporate and establish an unlimited liability companies and guarantee limited liability companies according to the HK Companies Ordinance. A company must have an English name, or both Chinese and English names. There is no restriction on the amount of the minimum authorized capital. Generally, the amount is HK$ 10,000. A HK company shall engage a HK local citizen to serve as its company secretary, and engage at least one director (individual or legal person); the HK company shall withdraw the business registration certificate and register with the inland revenue department, and submit the annual declaration form to the registration office for filing within 42 days as of the anniversary date of its incorporation, and have qualified independent auditors (i.e., accountants) conduct the annual audit. A company that will probably pay the profits tax will receive a profits tax return. The company shall fill relevant information in it and submit it together with the audited accounts to the government within one month upon issue of the return (it is stipulated in the Inland Revenue Ordinance that a newly incorporated HK company generally shall confirm whether it needs to fill out the tax return within 18 months after its incorporation and submit it together with the audited accounts).
- B. Risks of foreign exchange control, taxes and relevant legal
HK has no foreign exchange control. Moreover, the HK tax system is based on the “territory” or “tax source.” Generally speaking, HK only levies taxes on the income or profits obtained within the territory of HK other than those obtained beyond the territory of HK. Main taxes: 1) Salaries tax: means the tax levied on the salaries of tax payers earned for work in HK. The government will offer the salaries of tax payers with various tax allowances and collect the tax at a progressive tax rate after deducting the tax allowances.
-
2) Income tax: which is a tax paid by the tax payer for the profits obtained from its business operation in Hong Kong.
-
3) Property tax: which is a tax paid by the tax payer for holding a property in Hong Kong and earning profits by leasing the property. There is no need to pay the property tax for just holding a property, but the rates, land rates or land rents.
-
4) Stamp duty: is the tax levied by the HK government on real estate transfer or leasing and stock transfer.
-
5) Commodity tax: Hong Kong generally does not levy the commodity tax, with the exception of liquor,tobacco, hydrocarbon andmethanol.
-
C. Whether acknowledge the civil decision effect of Chinese court
Since the HK courts and courts of the Republic of China do not have measures for reciprocal enforcement, the winner in a court of the Republic of China has to follow the common law of HK when in HK. However, whether to acknowledge and implement the decision of a court of the Republic of China or not, the HK court will, according to the details of each decision, consider whether the decision complies with several conditions, including but not limited to:
-
1) Whether or not the rights covered by the decision belong to private rights or not;
-
2) Whether or not such decision complies with the needs of judicial interests, common knowledge and legal order or not;
-
3) Whether not the acknowledgment of such decision will impair the sovereign interests or leads to violation of other public policies;
-
4) Whether or not the decision complies with the common law principles, including but not limited to: (i) whether or not such decision is valid and final; (ii) whether or not the persons involved in the decision (or the stakeholders) are the same as the ones in the case on which the HK court makes a decision; and (iii) whether or not the decision made by the HK court can resolve the disputable event.

(4) Main country of operations: Mainland China
The important subsidiaries of the Company in the main country of operation include Chlitina (China) Trade Limited and Weishuo (Shanghai) Daily Product Limited, which are all established according to the Chinese laws. See below for details about relevant risks:
A. Economic profile and changes in political and economic environment
According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics of the People’s Republic of China on February 28, 2020, the GDP of 2017 was RMB 82,712.2 billion, up by 6.9% as compared with 2016; the GDP of 2018 was RMB 90,030.9 billion, up by 6.6% as compared with 2017; the GDP of 2019 was RMB 99,086.5 billion, up by 6.1% as compared with 2018. Despite the slow growth, the economic structure has been optimized continuously. The data indicates that the economy of the Chinese mainland has assumed a new normal. China has accomplished the economic growth target of 7-8% set in the 12th five-year planning of the Mainland China, which has paved a solid foundation for the economic and social development during the 13th five-year period. It is expected that the economy will maintain the medium to high speed growth in the future.
The Mainland China has insisted on the general keynote of making progress while maintaining stability in its economic development, firmly carried out the new development concept, focused on the improvement of quality and benefits, planned and promoted the “five-in-one” general arrangement, coordinated the progress of the “four-comprehensive” strategic layout, taken the supply side structured reform as the main line, and fulfilled the work for stable growth, reform promotion, structural adjustment, livelihood benefits and risk prevention to make the economy progress steadily, turn better, and even better than expectation, and make the economic society maintain the steady and sound development.
Since most of the Company’s products are manufactured and produced in China, and the development strategies of the Company have taken the Mainland China market as the main base of operation, and its operating revenue also comes from the Mainland China. Given this, the financial status, operation results and prospect of the Company will be subject to the policies, economy and legal development of China. This uncertainty will probably cause certain impact on the operation of the Company and the investments of investors.
China’s economic environment varies from that of many developed countries in such aspects as economic structure, degree of government intervention, urban and rural development, economic growth, capital investment, control over capital investment, foreign exchange control, local resource distribution, etc. China had operated under the centrally planned economy system before 1978. All the production and business activities within the territory of China are subject to the economic objectives set forth in the five-year plan and annual plan of the central government. Since 1978, the Chinese government has implemented the opening-up and reform, and allowed foreigners to invest, as well as carried out the economic reform, which made it gradually change from the planned economy to the market-oriented economy. These reforms
have contributed to the past more than 20 years of economic growth of China. However, the reforms and economic policies to be taken by the Chinese government have no precedents to follow or just carried out on a pilot basis, which will probably cause unforeseeable results and certain unexpected adverse effect on enterprises primarily operating in China, including the Company.
Despite the rapid economic growth of China, the geographical areas have not realized balanced growth. Rapid economic growth will probably bring increase in capital supply and accelerate the inflation. Where the price of the Company’s products has not been adjusted in time due to the market changes, it will probably lead to high costs, gross profit decline or sales decline, and have adverse effect on the Company’s business. In order to control inflation, the Chinese government used to control the bank credit, set the loan ceiling of fixed assets and restrictions on loans disbursed by the state banks. The implementation of these policies in the future will probably lead to the slowdown of economic growth and adverse effect on the business, financial status and operation results of the Company.
Though the legal system of China has gained development, it is still not perfect. Even if China has enough legal provisions, it is still uncertain and incidental when it enforces the current laws or contracts, and it may be not easy to obtain rapid and fair enforcement or execution of the judgments of other courts with jurisdiction. China’s legal system is based on the statute law and its interpretation. The previous court decision may be citied for reference, but the binding force is limited. Since China’s judicial organs do not have experience in many cases, the litigation outcome is uncertain. Moreover, the interpretation of laws and orders is probably subject to the government policies, and thus reflects the changes in domestic politics. Given the development of China’s legal system, the future changes in laws or interpretations will probably cause adverse effect on the business, operation results, financial status and prospect of the Company. B. Risks of foreign exchange control, taxes and relevant legal
(A) Foreign Exchange Control
Since 1978, China’s foreign exchange administration system has been gradually adjusted from a highly-centralized planned model to a market-oriented one. Starting in 1994, China has carried out the reform of its foreign exchange administration system to further give play to the role of the market mechanism. The first is to align the RMB exchange rate with that of the international market and to implement a single, managed, floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand. The second is to implement the banking foreign exchange settlements and sales system and to gradually realize free convertibility of the RMB in the current account balance. Finally, to establish the inter-bank foreign exchange market, improve the exchange rate formation mechanism, and maintain a reasonable and relatively stable RMB exchange rate. The exchange rate of RMB against foreign currencies depends on changes in China’s politics and international political and economic environment. Since July 21, 2005, when China adopted a floating exchange rate policy, the RMB exchange rate was officially delinked from the US dollar. Instead, the exchange rate policy of a basket of currencies was adopted, allowing the RMB exchange rate to fluctuate slightly. But the RMB exchange rate is sometimes undervalued as Mainland China's government has strongly prevented RMB appreciation to maintain export competitiveness. The international powers headed by the United States and Europe will continue to put pressure on the Chinese government, arguing that China should adopt more floating monetary policies, which may cause the RMB to appreciate against the US dollar. Changes in the exchange rate of the RMB against the dollar may have an uncertain impact on cash flow, profit performance, earnings distribution, and financial conditions. The company’s functional currency is mainly RMB, and it is the same case for purchasing and sales. Therefore, changes in the exchange rate of the RMB against the dollar
will not have an uncertain impact on cash flow, profit performance, earnings distribution and financial conditions of the company.
(B) Income Tax and Value-added Tax
Pursuant to the “Law of the People's Republic of China on Income Tax of Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises”, which was applicable before January 1, 2008, enterprises with foreign investment and foreign enterprises (hereinafter referred to as “enterprises with foreign investment”) established in China would be subject to a national enterprise income tax rate of 30% and a local income tax rate of 3%. The Chinese government provides enterprises and companies with foreign investments that meet certain criteria with a variety of preferential policies, including tax exemptions, tax reductions, tax rebates, etc. In accordance with “Law of the People's Republic of China on Income Tax of Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises” (hereinafter referred to as the “China Income Tax Law”) and its rules for implementation, enterprises with foreign investment established in special economic zones, or productive enterprises with foreign investment established in economic and technological development zones are subject to the enterprise income tax at a reduced rate of 15%. In case productive enterprises with foreign investment have an operating period of more than 10 years, its enterprise income tax is, commencing from the year in which it starts to profit, exempted from in the first and second year, and levied with a 50 per cent reduction from the third to the fifth year (hereinafter referred to as “2 Years free and 3 Years Half”).
However, on March 16, 2007, China promulgated the “Law of the People's Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax.” On December 6, 2007, China promulgated the “Regulations on the Implementation of the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China.” The new law came into force on January 1, 2008. Pursuant to the new enterprise income tax law, all enterprises (including enterprises with foreign investment) would be subject to the statutory income tax rate of 25%. Some tax incentives, exemptions, and protection measures for enterprises with foreign investment in the current regulations will be abolished. Five years after the implementation of the new enterprise income tax law, the preferential enterprise income tax rate enjoyed by enterprises with foreign investment may gradually increase to 25%. But the new enterprise income tax law allows manufacturing enterprises with foreign investment to be exempt from the limit of the new law and to continue to enjoy preferential tax policies after five years.
In terms of value-added tax, all units and individuals engaged in the sales of goods, provision of processing, repairs and replacement services, and the importation of goods within the territory of Mainland China are taxpayers of Value-Added Tax, the rate ranging from 0% to 13%. For taxpayers exporting goods, the tax rate shall be 0%. In addition, in accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax which came into force on January 1, 2008 and the regulation on its implementation, enterprises established outside Mainland China but with “actual management functions” conducted in China are seen as “resident enterprises.” They shall pay enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% for income derived from or accruing in or outside of Mainland China.
And in accordance with the new enterprise income tax law, from January 1, 2008, where the non-resident enterprises have no office or premises established in Mainland China or the income derived or accrued has no de facto relationship with the office or premises established, they shall pay the prepaid enterprise income at a rate of 10% for various passive income (e.g. dividends) derived from or accruing in Mainland China. (In accordance with the tax treaty of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the tax rate is 5%.)
(C) Labor Contract Law
On January 1, 2008, China began to implement the new Labor Contract Law with the purpose of protecting the lawful rights and interests of employees and specifying the rights and obligations of the parties to employment contracts. The Labor Contract Law stipulates that once a company hires employees (including probation), the parties to employment contracts shall sign a written labor contract within one month from the date of employment. If employers have not signed a written labor contract with employees for more than one month and less than one year from the date of employment, each month the employers shall pay twice as much as the salary of the employees. If employers fail to enter into a written labor contract with employees within one year from the date of employment, it shall be deemed that the employer and the employee have entered into an open-ended labor contract. When the employment relationship ends, under certain circumstances stipulated in the labor contract law, the employer must pay severance pay. If the employer provides equal or better renewal terms than the present, but the employee refuses to sign a new contract, the employer is exempt from severance pay.
The severance pay shall be based on the number of years worked with the Employer, but excluding the specific period decided by the local government before 2008. Generally, the severance pay is at the rate of one month's wage for each full year worked. Any period of not less than six months but less than one year shall be counted as one year. The severance pay of any period of less than six months shall be one-half of the monthly wages. If there is no written employment contract but the arbitration judgment determines that there is an employment relationship that has actually existed for more than one month but less than one year, the employer shall pay the employee double monthly salary, and when the employment relationship expires, the employer shall pay the employee severance pay according to the above calculation method.
If the implementation of the Labor Contract Law greatly increases the employment cost of the company, there are clear regulations for manufactures in terms of the establishment of labor contracts, severance pay, a large number of dismissals, placement, and even non-competition. However, the company is not in a labour-intensive industry, and most of the human resources in the Chinese market are sales and management personnel. In recent years, the salaries of many Chinese employees have been increased to respond to changes in the human resources market. As the company has always been committed to providing employees with a good working environment and benefits, it is expected to effectively retain competent employees. Therefore, the Labor Contract Law that has been implemented since January 1, 2008 has a limited impact on the company, but legal changes in China in the future may affect the company’s operation. (D) Specialty of Land and Real Estate
There is no private ownership of land in China. Except where it is stipulated by law that it belongs to the state, the land within China is collectively owned by the working people. According to “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Urban Real Estate Administration” (hereinafter referred to as “Real Estate Administration Law”) adopted by the National People's Congress to adjust the urban real estate relationship, the main body of land ownership in China is specific, including the state and the collective. The land ownership is divided into national land ownership and collective land ownership, and the collectively-owned land can be requisitioned in accordance with the law by the state.
In accordance with the “Real Estate Administration Law” and the “Measures for the Administration of Commercial Housing Leasing” which was promulgated on December 1, 2010 and implemented on February 1, 2011, parties to housing leasing shall enter into a written leasing contract and housing leasing shall be registered. According to the “Contract Law of the People's Republic of China” and the Supreme People's Court “Interpretation of several issues concerning the application of the ‘Contract Law of the People's Republic of China’ (1)”, laws
and administrative regulations provide that the contract shall be subject to registration procedures. But for a contract which is not clearly defined to be effective only after registration, the failure of the parties to complete the registration procedures will not affect the validity of the contract, and the ownership of the subject matter of the contract and other property rights cannot be transferred. Given the “Real Estate Administration Law” and “Measures for the Administration of Commercial Housing Leasing” and other relevant laws, administrative regulations do not stipulate that the leasing contract is only effective after registration, therefore not completing leasing registration will not affect the validity of the leasing contract. (E) Social Insurance and Housing Provident Fund 1) Social Insurance In accordance with the “Provisional Regulations on Collection and Payment of Social Insurance Premiums”, the types of social insurance cover basic pensions, basic medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance and work-related injury insurance. The collection and payment scope is state-owned enterprises, collectively owned enterprises in cities and towns, enterprises with foreign investment, privately owned enterprises in cities and towns and other enterprises in cities and towns, as well as their staff and workers, and institutions managed as enterprises, as well as their staff and workers. Enterprises, within 30 days of the date of their establishment, shall apply for social insurance registration at the local social insurance agencies on the basis of their business licenses, registration certificates, or other such relevant certificates. After verification, the social insurance agencies shall issue such enterprises a social insurance registration certificate. The peoples' governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, according to the actual local conditions, may determine that these regulations shall apply to the collection and payment of work-related injury insurance and maternity insurance premiums within their respective administrative areas.
The “Provisional Regulations on Collection and Payment of Social Insurance Premiums” stipulates that employers shall, from January 22, 1999, pay social insurance premiums for employees. But given that China’s social insurance system is in the process of gradual establishment and improvement, there are enormous differences in the actual situations of various regions. Provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, according to the actual local conditions, in compliance with the basic rules of the “Provisional Regulations on Collection and Payment of Social Insurance Premiums”, formulated their respective specific regulations of the collection and payment of social insurance premiums to realize the local management of social insurance.
The company’s major subsidiaries in Mainland China, including Chlitina China and Weishuo Company, all comply with the local regulations applicable in the Shanghai region. Both Chlitina China and Weishuo Company have obtained the “Fundamentals of Units Participating in City and Town Social Insurance” from the Shanghai Social Insurance Fund Management Center without any arrears. From January to July 2015, Chlitina China authorized Qianjin Network Company and its partners to pay social insurance for part of its employees, and we have obtained the relevant documents proving the above fact. From August, 2015, Chlitina China began to pay social insurance for relevant employees on its own.
As described above, the company pays and withdraws various social insurance premiums for employees in accordance with the relevant laws, regulations, and local policies. The social insurance premium base number and rate are in compliance with the relevant laws and administrative regulations, and there is no need to pay a dodged amount and there are no penalties. By the date of issuing this certificate, Chlitina China and Weishuo Company did not have any major illegal or bad records of labor and social insurance, nor had any major labor
disputes or employee strikes, nor had been subject to administrative penalties from the labor and social security authorities.
2) Housing Provident Fund In accordance with the “Regulations on Management of Housing Provident Funds”, a newly-established unit shall undertake the registration of payment and deposit of housing provident funds at the managing center of the housing provident fund within 30 days of its establishment, and shall, on the basis of the verification documents of the managing center of housing provident funds, undergo the procedure of opening the accounts of housing provident funds for its workers and staff at the commissioned bank within 20 days of the registration. Where a unit fails to make the payment and deposit registration of the housing provident fund or fails to undergo the procedure for its workers and staff to open a housing provident fund account, the managing center of the housing provident fund shall order it to be undertaken within a specified time limit. Where it is not undertaken by the expiration of the specified time limit, a RMB fine shall be imposed. Where a unit fails to pay or pays less than the full amount the the housing provident fund by the expiration of the time limit, the managing center of the housing provident fund shall order it to be paid and deposited within a specified time limit. Where it is not paid and deposited yet by the expiration of the specified time limit, compulsory enforcement by the people's court may be applied.
“Regulations on Management of Housing Provident Funds” was promulgated and implemented on April 3, 1999, stipulating that employers should pay housing provident funds for employees. But given that Mainland China’s housing provident fund system is in the process of gradual establishment and improvement, provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, according to the actual local conditions, in compliance with the basic rules of the “Regulations on Management of Housing Provident Funds”, formulated their respective specific regulations for the collection and payment of housing provident funds, or published policies related to the base number and rate of housing provident funds every year, to realize the local management of housing provident funds.
The company’s major subsidiaries in Mainland China, including Chlitina China and Weishuo Company, all comply with the laws and regulations to open a provident fund account and pay provident funds, and pay housing provident funds for employees in accordance with the law. They do not violate the laws and regulations of the State and Shanghai on the management of housing provident funds and have obtained the “Housing provident fund deposit certificate” issued by the Shanghai Provident Fund Management Center, indicating that the above two companies have not been subject to an administrative penalty from the center since they opened their account and deposited into it. Meanwhile, from January to July 2015, Chlitina China authorized Qianjin Network Company and its partners to pay housing provident funds for part of their employees, and we have obtained the relevant documents proving the above fact. From August 2015, Chlitina China began to pay the housing provident funds of the relevant employees on its own. As described above, the companies have complied with the “Regulations on Management of Housing Provident Funds” and “Regulations on Management of Housing Provident Funds in Shanghai” to pay housing provident funds for employees without disputes with employees due to housing provident fund issues.
(F) Environmental Protection
The company's production base is in Mainland China. The subsidiary of the company in Mainland China, Weishuo Company, is mainly responsible for production and manufacturing, therefore it must comply with a number of environmental regulations in China. The factory of Weishuo Company obtained the environmental impact assessment report at the time of the establishment, and passed the acceptance check of the local environmental protection authority.
Weishuo leased the plant to Chlitina (China), and the sewage generated during its production has not yet reached the standard of the pipes. Therefore, the sewage goes through physiochemical and biochemical treatment of the water treatment equipment of Chlitina (China) before being discharged into the sewer. As for waste disposal, Weishuo also entered into contracts with qualified waste disposal companies for regular processing. Although the company has done its best to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations, China's central and local governments may modify environmental regulations and implement more or more stringent environmental standards and regulatory requirements. Compliance with the relevant regulations may result in significant costs for the company, but the company may not be able to pass on such costs to customers. If the company fails to comply with or is accused of violating these environmental protection regulations, it may pay fines or be asked to shoulder other environmental liabilities, which may adversely affect the company's reputation. If the Chinese government changes its existing environmental protection regulations, it may also cause the company to increase its spending on environmental protection.
The company did not have an adverse record of environmental protection violations as of the publication date of the annual report, and will continue to comply with environmental protection laws and regulations.
(G) The Company’s subsidiaries in Mainland China are supervised and regulated by Chinese government agencies, including but not limited to the commerce departments, industry and commerce departments, foreign exchange administration departments, environmental protection departments, safety supervision departments, and drug regulatory departments. The aforementioned government regulatory authorities have the right to promulgate and/or enforce laws, regulations, and regulations concerning the production and operation of subsidiaries in Mainland China in accordance with the laws and regulations. The production and operation of the company's subsidiaries in Mainland China requires obtaining the relevant approvals and licenses from the government regulatory authorities. If subsidiaries in Mainland China cannot obtain or continue to hold the approvals and licenses of various government regulatory authorities, they may be punished including fines, termination, or restriction of business. The occurrence of any of the above conditions will affect the company's production and operation. The company will continue to closely observe and understand the Chinese government's policy development trends and regulatory changes, and is committed to following them. (H) Dividends Distribution
As the company is a holding company, the ability to pay dividends depends on the surplus and distribution of its subsidiaries, and the distribution method and amounts approved by the Board of Directors. Therefore, the dividend distribution in the future will be based on the overall operating performance, financial condition, cash requirements and applicable laws of the group, as well as applicable laws and regulations. For example, in accordance with Chinese law, Chinese subsidiaries can only distribute and pay dividends from their net profits, and the amount of net income is based on the retained earnings calculated in accordance with China's generally accepted accounting principles and China's relevant financial laws and regulations, differing from international financial reporting standards.
In addition, in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, when a Chinese subsidiary distributes profits, it is required to allocate at least 10% of the net profit after taxation for the current year to be the statutory surplus (a statutory reserve for no distribution of dividends, but only when the reserve accumulated reaches 50% of the company's registered capital). If a subsidiary in Mainland China pays dividends to the company in repatriation of funds, it is subject to 10% income tax, which may reduce the company's ability to allocate dividends to shareholders.
C. Whether acknowledge the civil decision effect of Chinese court In accordance with the “Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on People's Courts Recognizing Civil Judgments of Taiwan’s Related Courts” and the “Supplementary Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on People’s Courts Recognizing Civil Judgments of Taiwan’s Related Courts” that were promulgated and implemented by the Supreme People’s Court, if the person conercerned’s domicile or habitual residence or the location of the property to be executed is in the other provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities directly under the Central Government, the civil judgments of Taiwan’s related courts may be submitted to the People's Court for approval within two years after the determination of the validity of the judgment, and the person concerned can also apply for property preservation. The civil judgments of the related courts of Taiwan approved by the people's court shall have the same effect as the effective judgments made by the people's courts. Although there is no mutual legal assistance agreement or other similar agreement between the Chinese judicial authorities and the judicial authorities, in accordance with the relevant regulations of the Chinese judicial authorities and mutual legal assistance agreements signed by cross-strait institutions, Chinese lawyers believe that China, on the basis of the reciprocity principle without the violation of related laws, public order, or good customs, can recognize and enforce the civil judgments and arbitration awards of Taiwan. However, if the Chinese court does not recognize the judgments of the Republic of China Court, even if the investor has obtained the determined judgment in the Republic of China, it may not be able to execute the judgment. Therefore, the investor may encounter the risk of being unable to successfully claim compensation abroad. The investor should understand the legal risks of purchasing the securities issued by foreign issuers.
- The impact of changes in interest rates, exchange rates and inflation on the company’s profit and loss, and future response measures in the latest year and as of the date of publication of the annual report:
(1) Interest rate
The interest rate risk for the company mainly relates to its borrowing from the bank, which exposes the company to the risks of cash flow interest rates and the market interest rates. The interest income is derived from bank deposits. Interest expenses are the rates charged for being lent funds. The Company's respective interest income from 2017, 2018 and 2019 was NTD 51,205,000, NTD 55,539,000 and 65,572,000 respectively, and each amount accounts for the ratio of net operating revenue 1.56%, 1.21% and 1.28%, respectively. The respective interest expenses of 2017, 2018 and 2019 were NTD 17,277,000, NTD 29,168,000 and NTD 58,190,000 respectively with the respective net operating income ratio of 0.53%, 0.64% and 1.13%. These are not high ratios, therefore the impact of changes in interest rate on the Company’s operation is limited.
Response measures:
The company has been maintaining good relations with the banks and keeping good financial stability and creditability to obtain a better level of interest rate. It’s expected that the company’s overall operation in the future will not be significantly impacted by interest rate changes. In addition, in order to adopt appropriate response measures that reduce the company's profit and loss impacted by the changes of interest rate, it’s essential to keep alert to the changes of interest rate.
(2) Exchange rate
The company was listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) on November 27, 2013. As a result of changes in the economic environment, the resolution of the Board of Directors changed the company's monomeric functional currency from the United State Dollar (USD) to New Taiwan Dollar (NTD). The company’s combined functional currency is Renminbi (RMB).
In addition, all of company's main operating entities are located in Mainland China, as a result, the day-to-day operations of the Renminbi are adopted as a trading currency. Basically, most sales are also RMB-denominated. The respective exchange losses in 2017 and 2018 was NTD 26,348,000, NTD 17,617,000 respectively while the exchange gain in 2019 was NTD 57,328,000, and they accounted for a low impact ratio, -2.18%, -3.28% and 4.00% of the current operating profit, respectively.
The risk exposures for the company’s main operating entities in the current environment of exchange rate fluctuations are the revenues from and purchases of non-functional currencies. The company’s royalty income derived from intellectual property and the subsidiaries purchase from Taiwan are transacted in USD. However, the amount of revenue and payment only accounts for a small ratio of the company’s cash flow, and the risk of the exchange rate is also relatively low. Additionally, the foreign currency exchange rate adopted is determined by the People’s Bank of China in accordance with supply and demand. As the RMB is not yet fully convertible, the remittances of funds outside the territory of Mainland China are subject to the limitation of foreign exchange control imposed by the central government of Mainland China. Response measures:
1) Continuously strengthen our financial personnel’s concept of hedging (a way for the company to minimize foreign exchange risk) by the means of a real-time online exchange rate system and intensified contacts with financial institution to analyze the movements in exchange rates as a reference for foreign exchange settlement.
2) Maintain intense contacts with major banks and monitor changes in the Forex (foreign exchange market) at all times to provide the relevant managers with comprehensive information that grasps the movements in exchange rates. In case of processing alternate currency receipts, appropriate adjustments can be made in time.
3) As far as possible, use the same currency of sales revenue to pay procurement and other related expenses and achieve an automatic hedging effect.
(3) Inflation
In recent years, European debt has detonated a global financial crisis. In addition to the Mediterranean countries being deeply involved in debt, the EU's top management is resolving the European debt at a rather slow pace and increasingly causing concern about the defaults of these countries with unusually high bond yields that significantly increase the financing difficulties and the easy formation of credit squeezes, as well as a systemic risk of insufficient market liquidity. To solve the economic dilemma, many countries have proposed economic revitalization programs but ended with a widening of the budget deficit in these counties which may cause more concerns about inflation.
To conclude, under the rapid changes in the overall economic environment so far, there’s no immediate and significant impact to the company caused by inflation and deflation mentioned above. In particular, the end users of products produced by the company are the general public. The company will keep alert to global economic changes, fluctuations of market prices of raw materials and end products, as well as good interactive relationships with suppliers and consumers. Furthermore, in the face of changes in the global economic environment, the marketing strategy and cost structure will be adjusted by the company at any time in response to the impact of these changes in the overall economic environment caused by inflation and deflation, so as to prevent the company from any significant impacts.

(1) Future development plans
For the company's future R&D plans, please refer to Chapter Five, profiles of “New R&D
Products” related to the current business operating status.

The main economic activity in the Cayman Islands is financial services with an open economy without foreign exchange control. China has become one of the world's major economic systems. Although the economic environment has tended to be open, outward fund remittance is still subject to the foreign exchange control of the Chinese government. Consequently, in the future, if there are changes of policies, taxation, economic status or interest rate policy made by the Chinese government, or the occurrence of any political, diplomatic or social events, the company’s business may be impacted. The company complies with important policies nationwide and worldwide, as well as the legal regulations to execute each business operation.

- Expected benefit(s), possible risk(s) and response action(s) of merger and acquisitions during the most recent year and up to the date of publication of this annual report.
(1)The company acquired 100% of the Shanghai Zhemei Vocational and Technical Training Co., Ltd. (Germès) for RMB4 million in September 2019.

The Company had no plans for expansion of its factory plants during the most recent year and up to the date of publication of this annual report.
-
The risks of sales and purchasing concentration, as well as the response measures during the most recent year and up to the date of publication of this annual report:
(1) Risks of purchasing concentration
There are numerous suppliers providing the main raw materials adopted by the company, including chemical raw materials, semi-finished products and packaging materials. In order to maintain negotiation flexibility in the price of raw materials, as well as ensure the sources of raw materials, the group has signed a one-year supply contract with several suppliers. Retaining several suppliers as the sources of raw materials and keeping good long-term collaborative relationships can ensure the stability of supply sources.
In addition, since the business operations base in Taiwan made direct purchases from Chaomei Biotech Co., it resulted the Company’s net purchase ratio of Chaomei at more than 10% in 2018. Expect for this case, the net purchase ratio of the other suppliers was controlled below 10% for the two years. Therefore, there’s no significant risk of purchasing concentration in the company.
(2) Risks of sales concentration
The company’s business is mainly operated through the chain management system that offers professional beauty care services and product sales. As a result, most of the top ten customers in sales of 2018 and 2019 are the company's franchise stores. In recent years, the expansion of the company's franchise stores has been growing steadily. And, this successful performance has contributed to an increased number of sales consumers but disperses the consumers. That is the cause for the company’s ratio of net sales to single consumers in 2019 being below 5%. Therefore, the company does not have the risks of sales concentration.
- Effect, risk, and response action associated with large transfers or changes in shareholdings by directors, supervisors or major shareholders holding over 10% during the most recent year
and up to the date of publication of this annual report
The company is an investment holding company established on July 3, 2012 in the Cayman Islands. Ever since its establishment, there has been no substantial transfer or replacement of shares by directors, supervisors, or major shareholders holding over 10%.
-
Effect, risk, and response action caused by the changes of the right to manage the Company during the most recent year and up to the date of publication of this annual report. The Company has no changes of the right to manage during the most recent year and up to the date of publication of this annual report. The company has strengthened the governance measures and introduced independent directors in order to enhance the overall protection of shareholder's rights. The day-to-day operation of the company mostly relies on professional managers. At present, our strong professional managers team has had a considerable degree of contribution to the company's operating performance. In the future, the support from the shareholders can be continued. Therefore, if there are any changes in the rights of business operation, there is no significant negative impact to company's management and operating advantages.
-
Litigation and non-litigation matters
(1) Regarding the company’s cases of litigation, non-litigation or administrative disputes which have been determined: Any of the facts which may have a significant impact on the shareholder's equity or the price of the securities that should be disclosed, including the amount of the subject matter, the date of commencement, the main lawsuits parties and the present ongoing situation during the most recent year and up to the date of publication of this annual report: None.
(2) Company’s directors, supervisors, general managers, substantive principals, major shareholders with a shareholding ratio of over 10% and subordinate companies regarding the company’s cases of litigation, non-litigation or administrative disputes which have been determined, or any of the facts which may have a significant impact on the shareholder's equity or the price of the securities that should be disclosed, including the amount of the subject matter, the date of commencement, the main lawsuits parties and the present ongoing situation during the most recent two year and up to the date of publication of this annual report: None.
- Other important risk(s) and response action(s) during the most recent year and up to the date of publication of this annual report.
(1) Risks of damage to the brand image:
As a cosmetic skin care chain brand that directly faces a vast group of consumers, the company’s brand image is crucial. However, with the company’s continuous business operation and expansion, there are risks to the company’s product, such as counterfeit or malicious attacks. There must be a certain degree of negative effect to company’s image and interest. If the company's brand image and other rights are violated or the company’s reputation suffers malicious slander, the company will adopt the legal method, which might consume a certain amount of the company’s capacity of finance, material and manpower and cause a negative effect on the company’s standard operation. The company’s Clio Brand obtained the affirmation by China Well-Known Trademarks. Whoever counterfeits it will have an aggravated criminal responsibility in order to highlight the government’s protection for Clio brand, and thus help with the reduction of counterfeited products and the risks of damage to brand image.
(2) Risks caused by the turnover of professional beauticians
Professional beauticians are the mainstay of beauty salons, it takes two years to complete the
educational training. However, due to the high turnover rate in the overall environment, the skills of beauticians vary from one another. In addition, due to fierce market competition, it’s easy to cause the high turnover rate of professional beauticians.
(3) Risks of franchise store management
The advantage of the franchise is speed of brand penetration, as well as the relatively low threshold. However, the disadvantage lies in a strong sense of dependence on the company’s headquarters and the concerns of the slack occurrence in operation and sales. The level of difficulty in management is slightly increased. For the effective management of the vast number of chain stores extensively distributed in Chinese cities at all levels, in addition to the management of the various branches in each province, we will include a supervision audition, on-site training, promotion and counseling, and more intensified control of many franchise stores by establishing a perfect and sound system and norms. Upon joining, they are required to sign contracts with the company including non-compete clauses. Also, the company will assess the performance of each store by visiting from time to time in order to progressively control the franchise stores and prevent vicious competition and other irregularities, so as to maintain the company's goodwill and competitiveness. Although the company has established a perfect management system and is committed to the control of franchise stores, without timely discipline and improvement, there might be an adverse impact to the company's goodwill and reputation.
(4) Risks of price fluctuation and operating costs
As a result of the company's products advertising natural plant extracts, the main raw materials including rose vanilla pollen, seabed algae, vitamins, amino acids and all kinds of extract from precious plants, the origin of multiple characteristic raw materials is vulnerable to climate impact which may lead to an increase of production costs. Besides, the product packaging materials which include paper packaging, plastic packaging, and glass packaging, the cost of packaging materials is also affected by the fluctuation of crude oil prices.
(5) Risks of leakage of raw materials formula
The main products of our company use a unique raw material formula for production. the core technology is achieved through repeated scientific experiments and research and long-term production practice. Due to the company’s core technical personnel mastering some of the confidential formulas, although the company's which produce the raw material formulas have been very strict with protection, however, if a competitor or other third party obtains the exclusive formula of the company and develops or produces a product with similar formulation, it may affect the financial status and the operating condition of the company to a certain degree. Never the less, for consumers’ choice of beauty products, brand trust is considerably related to the reliability. Even if the function and raw materials are almost identical, due to the trust of different brands, consumers will still choose the reliable brand products, which relatively reduces the unilateral risk regrading the leakage of raw material formulas.
(6) Risks of shareholder's rights and interest protection
There are many differences between the Cayman Islands Companies Law and the Republic of China Company Law. Although the company has amended the Articles of Incorporation in compliance with the “reference paradigm in shareholder protection” made by the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TWSE), there are still many legal differences between the two countries regarding ordinances of company operation. As a result, investors cannot secure their application of legal rights to invest in a Cayman company the same as a Taiwanese company. Investors should fully understand and consult with experts about whether they are able to acquire shareholder protection when investing in a Cayman company.
(7) Risk of information security
To secure the Company’s information security and high system availability, the Company continues the development related to information security by establishing the internal information security group and gradually establishing a information security system in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2005 “Information Security Management System Requirements” and ISO/IEC 17799:2005 “Code of Practice for Information Security Management.” In addition to the established internal control system of the information management cycle, the Company continues to issue documents of the software and hardware management method related to information security to meet the varied business types and diversified transaction mode based on the consideration of information security risks and management needs. The IT Department and Audit Department of the Company also conducts regular audits and spot checks for the relevant implementation of the information security systems to minimize the potentiality of information security risks.
The B2B “Chlitina Mall” and B2C “New Beauty Mall” developed by the Company is the main sales electronic channel of the Company’s e-commerce. To ensure the customer information without any data breach and reduce the risk of electronic transactions, the Company applied for the in 2019. After strict testing by specified evaluation institution, the Company finally passed and received the after the existing risks discovered were timely improved and corrected. The Company also conducts double check and improvement measures to ensure the information security and strives to obtain the graded protection certificate in 2020 at the same time.
To protect the safety of the Company’s information and assets and ensure the continuity of the business, the Company plans to renew softwares and upgrade systems regarding the network security prevention, data backup and recovery and network access within 3 years to reach the following purposes:
-
Internet security: From network access to network frontiers to terminal server system, achieving precise management of network access and data usage permission, issuing warnings and monitoring security risks for a comprehensive protection capability.
-
Data backup and recovery: Establishing a unified platform for data backup, disaster mitigation, and recovery, in order to address hardware or software damage, whether man-made or not, controllable or not. Ensure reliable data backup and business continuity in the best way possible.
VII Other Significant Events: None.

IV Other necessary supplementary notes: note to the significant difference with China’s provisions on the protection of shareholders’ interests.
Given the inconsistency between the laws of Cayman Islands and the laws of the Republic of China, the “Checklist of protections to shareholders’ interests at the place where a foreign issuer incorporates” (“protections to shareholders’ interests”) issued on December 25, 2019 by the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation may not apply to the Company. The table below shows that difference between the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the protections to shareholders’ equities due to the Cayman laws, and the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.

| The term “special resolution” means the resolution voted for by shareholders representing over two-thirds of the total shares issued by the company and with over half of the votes of the shareholders present. As for companies issuing shares to the public, if the total shares represented by the shareholders present are less than the aforesaid amount, a special resolution may not be adopted unless the shareholders representing over half of the total shares offered are present and such resolution is voted for by over two-thirds of the votes held by the shareholders present. |
According to the Company Law of Cayman Islands, the term “special resolution” means the resolution adopted, which is voted for by “over two-thirds” of the votes held by the shareholders present. The legal quorum of a shareholders meeting shall be the number of shareholders present which represent over half of the total shares offered by the company. |
1. According to the notes stated in the Letter (Tai-Zheng-Shang-Zi No. 0991701319) issued by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation on April 13, 2010, resolutions on proposals involving significant equities of shareholders and the number of votes shall be subject to the presence of shareholders presenting over half of the total shares issued and consent of shareholders representing over two-thirds of the votes held by the shareholders present, as well as the requirements of the Cayman laws and the company law of our country on votes to special resolutions. 2.

| 1. Where a company reduces its capital not according to resolutions of the shareholders meeting, the company may not reduce its shares; the capital reduction shall be done in proportion to the shares held by shareholders. 2. Any company reducing its capital shall return the stock capital with the properties other than cash; the properties returned and the amount offset shall be subject to the resolutions of the shareholders meetings, and consent of the shareholder receiving such property. 3. The board of directors shall submit the value of the aforesaid property and the amount offset to accountants of the Republic of China for verificationprior |
According to the compulsory provisions on capital reduction in Articles 14 to Article 18 of the Company Law of the Cayman Islands, a company may not reduce its capital unless agreed by the shareholders meeting through special resolutions or permitted by a court of the Cayman Islands through orders. |
Since the Company Law of the Cayman Islands has strict requirements on the capital reduction of companies, and relevant provisions belong to the compulsory ones, the capital reduction cannot be done unless the company modifies the Articles of Incorporation. After confirming with lawyers in Cayman Islands, Article 18-1 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company is modified to repurchasing shares in proportion to the shareholding proportion of the shareholders and canceling such share repurchase means to come up to the requirements stated in the most left column, which has no material difference with the content of the provision. |

| Any shareholder holding more than 3% of the shares offered for more than one year shall state the proposal and reasons in writing and require the board of directors to hold interim meetings of shareholders. Where the board of directors fails to issue a notice on the meeting convention within 15 days as of the date when such request is filed, the shareholder may hold it independently provided that it obtains consent from competent authority. |
There is no such competent authority for approving the convention of shareholders meetings in Cayman Islands. |
According to the Letter (Tai-Zheng-Shang-Zi No. 0991701319) issued by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation on April 13, 2010, a foreign issuer, under the premise no violation of the laws of the place of incorporation, may delete the part from “minority shareholders may request for the convention of interim meetings of shareholders to competent authority approving the convention” in the Articles of Incorporation. According to Article 26(1) of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, any shareholder holding over 3% of the total shares issued by the Company for more than one year may state the proposed affairs and reasons in writing and require the board of directors to hold interim meeting of shareholders. Where the board of directors fails to issue a notice on the meeting convention within 15 days upon receipt of such request, the shareholder filing such request may hold the shareholders meetings independently. The aforesaid Article 26(1) of the Articles of Incorporation complies with the provision on the most left column, that is, when the board of directors fails to issue notices for convention of a shareholders meetingaccordingto the written request,the |

A shareholder who exercises voting rights in writing or electronic means is deemed to have participated in the shareholders’ meeting in person but shall be deemed to have waived the right in the occasional (extemporaneous) motions and an amendment to an originally proposed issue. |
The Company Law of the Cayman Islands stipulates that the voting right may be exercised personally or by entrusting a proxy. Cayman lawyers are of the opinion that exercise of the voting right in writing or electronically is different from the presence in person defined in the Company Law of Cayman Islands, and shall not be deemed as “having attended the shareholders meeting personally”, and shall be deemed as having appointed the Chairperson of the shareholders meetingas theproxy. |
Article 46 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company stipulates that shareholders exercising the voting power in writing or electronically shall be deemed as having appointed the Chairperson of the shareholders meeting to serve as their proxy; such appointment shall not be deemed as the power of attorney defined in the provisions on listing (OTC). There is no material difference in effect of the two. |
| After a shareholder exercises voting rights in writing or electronic means, if he or she intends to participate in the shareholders’ meeting in person, he or she shall revoke the expression of intent mentioned in the preceding paragraph in the means same as that used for exercise of voting rights in writing or electronic means two days prior to the date scheduled for the shareholders’ meeting. In the event that he or she fails to revoke within the specified time limit, he or she shall still exercise voting rights in writing or electronic means. |
The Company Law of the Cayman Islands stipulates that the voting right may be exercised personally or by entrusting a proxy. |
As stipulated in the later paragraph of Article 47(2) of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, any shareholder failing to withdraw the power of attorney and attending the shareholders meetings personally, in principle, shall still have the right to attend the shareholders meeting personally and exercise the voting right, which shall be deemed as its cancellation of the appointment which appoints the Chairperson as the proxy unless such prior cancellation of notice is irrevocable due to the accompanying interests or other reasons stipulated in the Cayman laws.
