Business outlook
-
(1) 2019 operational objectives and prospects.
Looking back at the first half of 2018, the Company’s profitability over the same period the previous year has benefited from the higher raw material prices, the steady growth of global economy and the continuing trade boom. However, the US-China trade dilemma in the second half affected the performance of the global economy, causing the decline of raw material prices and the erosion of the Company’s profitability. Looking forward to this year, while the global oil price may have gradually stabilized, the uncertainties in international trades remain. It is still unknown how the US-China trade war will end, which will affect the global economy, and it is forecasted that the overall economy this year will not out-perform last year (Note 1). The prices of global raw materials may not rise sharply. It is necessary to pay attention to the future development of the US-China trade conflicts and observe the US interest rate hike and the monetary policies of key countries, the progress of Brexit and the political risks of Northeast Asia and the Middle East. The operations this year will require more rigorous observation and attitude before earning good results.
As for EG, the downstream is leaning toward being conservative due to the impact of US-China trade conflicts last year. The performance in the first quarter was not too great and the utilization of production capacity is reduced. The price of EG began to slide, opposite to the rising price of ethylene. The crude oil price shall remain rosy this year. The production of EG should increase once the supply-demand situation improves. Without the shortage experienced previously, EG products may increase, depending on the situation of the global economy and the downstream demand during the second half of the year.
As for polyester yarns, the turnaround of the global economy in the first half of last year and the rising raw material and oil prices led to the
- 12 -
price hike of polyester, and the downstream demand and the customers’ pull in the supply chain started to show. In addition, the relatively stable exchange rates led to the stable profit in the first half of the year. However, the global oil price in the 3rd quarter went down, leading to the falling price quotes of PTA, EG and polyester and the loss in the value of inventory. The continuing US-China trade conflicts caused the decline in the end market. Clients had to stay on the sidelines and be conservative in their ordering, leading to more difficult operations in the second half. However, the revenue for the whole year was still better than the previous year. As for this year, the trends of global oil price remains to be seen, and the operational performance may be uncertain. We will actively differentiate our product line, for example, high-count processed fibers and the development of eco-friendly yarns (Note 2), to improve our revenue and profit. We should be able to get around the price disadvantage in the common specifications and products from China and the ASEAN countries, as well as avoiding the impact caused by the fluctuation in oil price.
In 2019, we expect to sell 462,290 tons of ethylene glycol (EG), 24,464 tons of ethylene oxide (EO), 19,814 tons of non-phenol (NP), 48,804 tons of partially oriented yarn (POY), 34,841 tons of spin draw yarn (SDY), 27,743 tons of draw texturized yarn (DTY) and 3,165 tons of polyester chips, for a total of 621,121 tons.
-
Note 1: 1. The IMF estimates that the global economic growth this year will be 3.5%, the lowest in recent years.
-
According to EIU, the 2018 global economic growth was 2.9%, and it will be 2.7% in 2019.
-
IHS Markit estimates that the 2019 economic growth will be 3%, down from 3.2% in 2018.
-
-
Note 2: Under the environmental protection agreement, renowned brands such as NIKE, Adidas and others have planned to raise the proportion of eco-friendly yarns used in the products for the next ten years.
-
(2) Subject to competition of external environment.
-
In the EG market, some new manufacturing plants started their operations in the US, gradually increasing the market output. Domestically, there is a shortage of ethylene, and the difficulty of transportation will make the competition unfavorable.
-
More and more textile firms are moving to Vietnam and other ASEAN countries. In the future, the industry and supply chain may be affected. It is necessary to pay attention to the movements of downstream clients and respond to them early.
-
Whether it is the anti-dumping duty or the regional FTA, the export of our domestic products has faced a very unfair competitive
-
13 -
environment. The country has experienced slow progress in signing FTA with other countries, leading to a higher tariff compared to other competitors. Furthermore, there are more countries that start to use the anti-dumping policy to protect their domestic industries other than Europe and America, such as China, India, Turkey and South Africa, and the tax rate plus tariff will greatly increase the difficulty of export for Taiwan’s industry once the cases are established.
-
(3) Impact of regulatory environment and overall business environment.
-
The global economic recovery drives wages up. On the other hand, the increase in minimum wages will increase the labor costs, bringing more new pressures and challenges to business operations.
-
Domestic environmental awareness and the related regulations still have many restrictions on enterprises investing in new equipment. Communication with the neighboring residents often faces great resistance.
-
The overall business environment, including the acquisition of land, investment in environmental equipment and other external environment factors is what all enterprises need to face in the domestic development.
-
The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) was signed in Chile on March 8, 2018, and it becomes effective 60 days after at least six of the member states complete their domestic approval. It was expected to be completed by early or mid-2019, and the US is also considering returning to TPP conditionally. We have expressed our desire to participate in the second round of CPTPP. Among the member nations, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam are ranked top 10 of our trading partners. If we can join the Partnership successfully, it will help further growth and collaboration with other member countries in the region. At the same time, our textile and garment and petrochemical and plastics industries will be able to expand the export due to the lower tariff and also reduce the import cost of raw materials for the domestic operators.
-
The unilateral protectionism of the United States stresses “America First” and “Made in America”, brining spillover effects to the global supply chain. The policies adopted by the US to implement fair trade may lead to countermeasures by countries that have been sanctioned, and this proves the necessity of multilateral regional agreements. Besides the participation in the abovementioned CPTPP, companies will rely on the government to speed up the FTA and RCEP signing with other countries to facilitate the expansion of the international market, creating great benefits to Taiwan’s economic growth and the
-
14 -
competitiveness of the domestic companies.
-
In the first three quarters of 2018, the global oil price showed an upward trend. In October, it reached a relative high point of US$85 per barrel. Since then, the crude oil price has rapidly turned downward. Although the price as of the beginning of this year was again going up, the future trend remains to be seen. The decline of the oil price can help the midstream and downstream players in the textile industry to reduce their procurement cost of raw materials and increase their profits.
-
The market uncertainty caused by the US-China trade conflict will speed up the moves of the fabric supply chain to ASEAN (especially to Vietnam) taken by the global brand customers. Currently, the procurement strategies adopted by the global brands focus on larger firms who display vertical integration capability and have factories in Vietnam. Therefore, the sign of big textile suppliers growing bigger in 2019 will become even more prominent. For the small and medium enterprises in Taiwan who lack the capability to conduct vertical integration and overseas investments, they will certainly face even more challenges in 2019.

China Man-Made Fiber Independent Auditor’s Report
To CHINA MAN-MADE FIBER CORPORATION:

We have audited the accompanying individual balance sheet of China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related individual statement of income, individual statement of changes in shareholders equity, individual statement of cash flows, and Note of the individual financial statements (including major accounting policy) for the years then ended.
In my opinion, the financial statements as referred to, on the basis of my audit findings and the audit reports compiled by other certified public accountants, present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position of China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operation and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
The basis for opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities of auditors for the audit of the separate financial statements. We are independent of China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. Corporation in accordance with the Code of Ethics for certified public accountants in the part relevant to the audit of the financial statements of China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd., and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believed that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Points of attention
As stated in Note 3 of the standalone financial statements, China Man-Made Fiber has since 2018 adopted the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and IFRIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC in 2018 and chosen not to re-edit the standalone financial statements during the comparison periods. We did not revise the conclusions of our audit.
Key audit matter
Key audit matters are those matter that, in our professional judgment, were of most significant in our audit of the individual financial statements of China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. in 2018. These matters were addressed in the content of our audit of the individual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on those matters.
Key audit procedures of the individual financial statements of China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. in 2018 included:
Authenticity of specific sales revenue
Notes to key audit matters
In 2018, the sales revenue of specific products of the Chemical Fibers of China Man-Made Fiber is NT$1,186,121 thousand, revenue of the Chemical Department to specific customers is NT$905,081 thousand, accounting for 10% of the standalone net sales. The gross profit of the specific products and customers shows significant growth over the previous year. Therefore, the authenticity of sales revenue of specific products from the Chemical Fibers and Chemical Departments is one of the key audit items.
Please refer to Note 4 (15) of the financial statements for the accounting policies on sales revenue recognition.
Audit response
-
Understand and test the design and operating effectiveness of the internal control system of specified departments and sales revenue to customers.
-
17 -
-

-
Sampling inspection of the circumstances of sales returns and discounts and the collection after the periods to confirm the reasonableness of revenue recognition.
Adopt the equity method to assess the impairment of discounting and advances. Notes to key audit matters
As stated in Note 16 of the standalone financial statements, the amount of investment in Taichung Commercial Bank by China Man-Made Fiber adopting the equity method was NT$10,688,164 thousand, accounting for 27% of the total assets.

For 2018, the balance of discounting and advance and the expected credit loss from Taichung Commercial Bank are NT$452,594,552 thousand and NT$487,333 thousand, respectively. Taichung Commercial Bank’s decision in impairment loss involves the key estimates and judgments of its management, including the default probability and loss rate, and the results of impairment loss can significantly affect Taichung Commercial Bank’s financial performance. Therefore, the adoption of equity method in the expected credit loss of the discounting and advances will be key audit issues.
Audit response
-

-
Sampling inspection of each individual recognition of major expected credit loss from discounting and advances of Taichung Commercial Bank, in order to evaluate the reasonableness of collateral value.

Other information
The financial statements of investees included in the standalone financial statements of China ManMade Fiber adopting the equity method have not been audited by us.

In preparing the individual financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends
- 18 -

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue and auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that and audit conducted in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. If fraud or errors are considered materials, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these individual financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following works:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design, and perform audit procedures responsive risks, and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control effective in China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd..
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonability of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
Conclude the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the management, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its 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 individual financial statements or, if such disclosure are inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the individual statements, including related notes, whether the individual statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a matter that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of business entities within the China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. in order to express an opinion on the individual financial statements. The independent auditor is responsible for guiding, supervising, and implementing the audit of the China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd.; also, is responsible for forming an opinion on the audit of the China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd..
We communicate with those in charge of 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 in charge of 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 in charge of governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the individual financial statements of China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. of 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s
- 19 -
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 communications.

Key audit issues for the consolidated financial statements of China Man-Made Fiber and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
Authenticity of specific sales revenue
Notes to key audit matters
In 2018, the sales revenue of specific products of the Chemical Fibers of China Man-Made Fiber and its subsidiaries is NT$1,186,121 thousand, revenue of the Chemical Department to specific customers is NT$905,081 thousand, accounting for 5% of the total revenue. The gross profit of the specific products and customers shows significant growth over the previous year. Therefore, the authenticity of sales revenue of specific products from the Chemical Fibers and Chemical Departments of the Company and the subsidiaries is one of the key audit items.
Please refer to Note 4 (19) of the financial statements for the accounting policies on sales revenue recognition.
Audit response
-
Understand and test the design and operating effectiveness of the internal control system of specified departments and sales revenue to customers of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Assessment of the expected credit loss from discounting and advances.
Notes to key audit matters
As stated in Note 15 of the financial statements, the amounts of net value of discounting and advances of the Company in 2018 and its subsidiaries and the expected credit loss recognized in 2018 are NT$452,594,552 thousand and NT$487,333 thousand, respectively, accounting for 62.78% of the total assets and 1.17% of the total revenue, respectively, which is significant to the consolidated financial statements.

Discount and loan interest income
Notes to key audit matters
As stated in Note 36 (1) of the financial report, income from discounting and advances in 2018 for the China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries is NT$10,785,290 thousand, accounting for 25.96% of the total revenue, which is the main source of income. China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries processed loan applications through an approval procedure along the line of corporate hierarchy. Applications, upon approval, will be registered into the loan system with information on the conditions of lending and related matters entered into the system manually. Loans will be released upon the final approval of the supervisors and interest income will be calculated automatically by the systems relevant to the conditions of lending on individual cases at the end of each month. China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries highly rely on the computer system for the automatic calculation of interest income from discounts and loans to customers, which made the data input on the conditions of related lending cases and the computing logics for the accurate calculation of interest income from discounts and loans to customers essential. We therefore considered the interest income from discounts and loans to customers as a key audit matter.
The disclosures of the accounting policies, accounting estimates, and uncertainty of assumption related to the estimation of interest income from discount and loans to customers are specified in Note 4 (19) and Note 36 (1).
The responsive auditing process as follows:
-
Understand and examine the internal control of interest income from discount and loans to customer, including the understanding and testing of the internal control of the general computer system and the application system.
-
We checked the monthly interest income in the system, on a selective basis, with reference to the approved agreement on loans to determine the conditions of lending are congruent with the information used in the system for calculation of interest income. We also compared the interest income and the computing results from the system through a new round of calculation to examine no significant difference of the computing system of China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
Other information
The financial statements of investees included in the consolidated financial statements of the China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries adopting the equity method have not been audited by us.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
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 and auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that and audit conducted in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. If fraud or errors are considered materials, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following works:
-
26 -
-
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 risks, and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control effective in China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonability of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
Conclude the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the management, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries and its 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 disclosure are inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated statements, including related notes, whether the consolidated statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a matter that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information or the entities or business activities with China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The independent auditor is responsible for guiding, supervising, and implementing the audit of the China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd.; also, is responsible for forming an opinion on the audit of the China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
We communicate with those in charge of 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 in charge of 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 in charge of governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of China Man-Made Fiber Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries of 2018 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 communications.
