II. Summary of the 2019 Business Plan:
Since January this year, COVID-19 pneumonia has affected all parts of the world. Although the current epidemic in Taiwan is not as severe as that of other countries, the Company will adopt a prudent manner towards existing business or new investment
opportunities in the near future in consideration of the impact of the global recession and the
decline in Taiwanese people ’s willingness to consume. The business plan for the 2020 is as follows:
(I) Export Business:
In recent years, the company has gradually diversified the source of customers and goods to reduce the risk of excessive concentration in the market or supply place. This year, in addition to continuing to develop products, suppliers and customers in emerging markets, the Company will also focus on management of order, shipment, and customer credibility.
(II) Fashion Business:
For existing apparel or leather goods brands, the Company will continue to strengthen their merchandise advantage and strictly control inventory, continue to adjust channels to improve the sales revenue per unit area, and strengthen the operation of online shopping platform and social networking platform, while at the same time carefully expand sales premises so as to reduce operating costs. New brands for which the Company is sure to act as an agent will enter the market only at a time point determined through careful assessment of situation.
Development of new brands will continue, but in a prudent manner.
(III) Bio-tech Business:
For existing biomedical investment business, the Company will keeps focusing on core areas to maintain the competitiveness of products and distribution channels; strategies will be adjusted
9
from time to time depending on the development of the pandemic so that our ultimate pursuit of satisfying people’s medical needs can be achieved. For products under development, the Company will accelerate the pace of acquisition of relevant certifications; for emerging businesses, the Company will take into account business development and cost control at the same time. As for new investment opportunities that will add synergy to existing biomedical business, the Company will still make a cautious assessment.
Facing a global crisis, the Company's management team will stay committed to related business areas with our ever-lasting integrity and robust principles, and devise countermeasures to cope with the trend, so as to ensure operational safety and preserve competitiveness for future development.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Collins Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Collins Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and 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 of 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 with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ( “ IFRIC ” ) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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 of our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note3(a) of the consolidated financial statements, which describes the Group applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method beginning on January 1, 2019. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- Trade receivables valuation
Please refer to Note 4(g) “Financial Instrument” for accounting policy, Note 5(a) for accounting assumption, judgements and estimation uncertainty of trade receivables and note 6(d) for the disclosure of the valuation of trade receivables to the consolidated financial statements.
12
Description of key audit matter:
Trade receivable valuation is one of the key judgmental areas for our audit, particularly in respect of the long collection days and the recoverability of trade receivables arising from the medical equipment of the Group, significant judgment being applied in the management’s assessment of recoverability of trade receivables.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our principal audit procedures included reviewing if the evaluation of trade receivables are accordance with the Group’s accounting policy and recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses; examining the records of customers’ credit evaluation, and also historical data from the group’s previous collection experience; assessing the collection of accounts receivables subsequently. We also considered the adequacy of the group’s disclosures in this area.
2. Inventory valuation
Please refer to Note 4(h) “Inventory” for accounting policy, Note 5(b) for accounting assumption, judgements and estimation uncertainty of inventory and note 6(e) for the disclosure of the valuation of inventory to the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The main inventory of the Group is apparel and medical equipment. Sales in the fashion industry can be extremely volatile with consumer demand changing significantly based on current trends, in addition to the prevalence of online sales, it is a significant impact on physical store sales; besides, the medical product market changes and industry competition causing a risk that the carrying value of inventory exceeds its net realizable value. Therefore, the valuation of inventory is one of the important matters while accountants auditing the financial statements.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included evaluating the reasonableness of the Company’s inventory valuation policy and the management’s assumption used when measuring allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses; performing a retrospective review of the Company’s historical accuracy of judgments with reference to inventory valuation and comparing them with the current year’s calculation to evaluate the appropriateness of the estimation and assumption used for inventory valuation. We considered the historical accuracy of provisioning and used the information obtained as evidence for evaluating the appropriateness of the assumptions made in the current year including how these compare to the experience in previous years.
3. Goodwill impairment
Please refer to note 4(n) “Impairment of non-financial assets” for accounting policy, Note 5(c) for accounting assumption, judgements and estimation uncertainty of the financial statements and note 6(l) for the disclosure of the impairment of goodwill t to the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in forecasting and discounting future cash flows, which are the basis of the assessment of recoverability, this is one of the key judgement areas that our audit is concentrated on to address the risk that the key assumptions, estimates and judgements on which the calculation are based are inappropriate and that goodwill are overstated as a result. Therefore, the evaluation the impairment of investment at equity method is one of the important matters while accountants auditing the financial statements.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included assessing the Company’s assumptions using publically available data in relation to key inputs such as projected growth rates, discount rates, margins, profit to cash conversion, cost
13
inflation and foreign exchange. We applied sensitivities to the assumptions used by the Group in its impairment models; this included a consideration of the historical accuracy of the Company’s forecasting. To sense check, we compared the sum of the discounted cash flows to the Company’s market capitalisation to assess the reasonableness of those cash flows. For more recent acquisitions we compared actual results post acquisition to the results in the business case supporting the transaction. We also assessed whether the Company’s disclosures about the sensitivity of the outcome of the impairment assessment to changes in key assumptions properly reflected the risks.
Other Matter
Collins Co., Ltd. has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, 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.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’ s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
14
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’ s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with 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 auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Ming- Hung Huang and Chia Chien Tang.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Collins Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Collins Co., Ltd. (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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 of our opinion.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to Note 3(a) of the financial statements, which describes the Company applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach beginning on January 1, 2019. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
1. Inventory valuation
Please refer to Note 4(g) “ Inventory ” for accounting policy, Note 5(a) for accounting assumption, judgements and estimation uncertainty of inventory and note 6(d) for the disclosure of the valuation of inventory to the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The main inventory of Collins Co., Ltd. is apparel. Sales in the fashion industry can be extremely volatile with consumer demand changing significantly based on current trends, in addition to the prevalence of online sales, it is a significant impact on physical store sales. As a result there is a risk that the carrying value of inventory exceeds its net realizable value. Therefore, the valuation of inventory is one of the important matters while
20
accountants auditing the financial statements.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included evaluating the reasonableness of the Company’s inventory valuation policy and the management’s assumption used when measuring allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses; performing a retrospective review of the Company’s historical accuracy of judgments with reference to inventory valuation and comparing them with the current year’s calculation to evaluate the appropriateness of the estimation and assumption used for inventory valuation. We considered the historical accuracy of provisioning and used the information obtained as evidence for evaluating the appropriateness of the assumptions made in the current year including how these compare to the experience in previous years.
- Evaluation the impairment of investment at equity method
Please refer to note 4(l)“Impairment of investment at equity method”for accounting policy, Note 5(b) for accounting assumption, judgements and estimation uncertainty of the financial statements and note 6(e) for the disclosure of the impairment of goodwill to the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in forecasting and discounting future cash flows, which are the basis of the assessment of recoverability, this is one of the key judgement areas that our audit is concentrated on to address the risk that the key assumptions, estimates and judgements on which the calculation are based are inappropriate and that goodwill are overstated as a result. Therefore, the evaluation the impairment of investment at equity method is one of the important matters while accountants auditing the financial statements.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included assessing the Company’s assumptions using publically available data in relation to key inputs such as projected growth rates, discount rates, margins, profit to cash conversion, cost inflation and foreign exchange. We applied sensitivities to the assumptions used by the Group in its impairment models; this included a consideration of the historical accuracy of the Company’s forecasting. To sense check, we compared the sum of the discounted cash flows to the Company’s market capitalisation to assess the reasonableness of those cash flows. For more recent acquisitions we compared actual results post acquisition to the results in the business case supporting the transaction. We also assessed whether the Company’s disclosures about the sensitivity of the outcome of the impairment assessment to changes in key assumptions properly reflected the risks.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee and Supervisor) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion of the Company.
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.
22
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Ming- Hung Huang and Chia-Chien Tang.

II. The Company's paid-in capital amounted to NT $ 2,019,110,930, and the number of shares outstanding was 209,111,093 shares. According to the "Rules and Review Procedures for Director and Supervisor Share Ownership Ratios at Public Companies". Given the Company's capital amount falls into the tier that requires shares held by all directors shall be the higher of 5% of total shares, 209,111,093 * 5% = 10,455,555 shares, and 15,000,000 shares, thus the legal threshold shall not fall below 15,000,000 shares. Nonetheless, the Company has set up three (3) independent directors so that the threshold is permitted by law to be lowered by 20%, to 12,000,000 shares, which is the statutory number of shares that all directors as a whole should possess.
-
III. The Company has set up the Audit Committee. Consequently, the Company does not apply to the requirement that the shareholding of a supervisor shall not be less than a certain ratio.
