Cheng Shin Rubber Industry Co. Ltd. 2020 Business Report

2020 was an extremely unusual year, full of difficulties and hardships. The COVID-19 epidemic continues to spread all over the world, forcing all of us to accept and adapt to a new normal. However, in such a precarious environment, it was not easy for Cheng Shin's management team to exert leadership and management skills to increase the full-year net profit of 2020 by 70.7% compared with the previous year of 2019.

Although vaccines have already come out, the effectiveness of curbing the epidemic has yet to be demonstrated, leading to a high degree of uncertainty in the future. Looking back on 2020, the automotive industry was facing unprecedented challenges, such as a shortage of automotive chips and a shortage of shipping containers; changes in the economic environment affected the appreciation of the New Taiwan dollar and the fluctuation of the US dollar exchange rate. These external factors made international trade more difficult.

The increasingly complex and ever-changing global economic situation and market environment were unpredictable. However, a 9-story platform begins from the soil. We could only strengthen our foundation, focus on the most important things, manufacture in our industry at full speed to achieve our goals, and speed up the response to improve efficiency in order to overcome the known difficulties and face the unknown challenges. Cheng Shin takes "Breaking new ground while inheriting the essence of tradition" as its core value and "100% quality, 100% service, 100% trust" as its cultural center. It actively invests in R&D and innovation, insists on producing high-quality tires, and provides customers with different needs with higher quality products.

Thanks to all the shareholders, customers, and colleagues for their support. In the future, we will work harder to create better results and value for you!

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR20004276

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cheng Shin Rubber Ind. Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cheng Shin Rubber Ind. Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to the “other matter” section of our report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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. 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 Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the report of other auditors are 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.

Key audit matters for the Group’s financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:

Appropriateness of cut-off on sales revenue

Description

For the accounting policy of sales revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4(31). For the detail of sales revenue, please refer to Note 6(21). For the year ended December 31, 2020, the sales revenue amounted to NT$96,209,056 thousand.

The Group’s main business is the manufacturing and sales of various tires and rubber products. The main sources of sales revenue are from the assembly plants and dealers. In accordance with the contract terms with some assembly plants, as inspections are completed in the assembly plants, the transfer of control to the merchandise is completed and sales revenue is recognized. The sales revenue recognition process involves many manual controls and adjustments are likely to occur. As

16

fin001@D2762021-05-14 09:13:50

a result, the timing of sales revenue recognition could be inappropriate. Therefore, we included the appropriateness of cut-off on sales revenue as one of the key areas of focus for this year.

How our audit addressed the matter

The procedures that we have conducted in response to the above key audit matter are summarized as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the Group’s sales revenue cycle, reviewed internal control process and contracts of assembly plant sales in order to assess the effectiveness of managements’ control of revenue recognition on assembly plant sales.

  2. We tested the Group’s sales transactions around the year-end date to check whether assembly plant sales are recorded in the proper period. We also tested whether changes in inventory and cost of goods sold were carried over and recorded in the proper period in order to assess the appropriateness of cut-off on sales revenue.

Timing of reclassification of unfinished construction and uninspected equipment to property, plant and equipment.

Description

For the accounting policy on property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 4(15). For the details of property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 6(7). As at December 31, 2020, the unfinished construction and equipment under acceptance amounted to NT$5,346,734 thousand.

To maintain market competitiveness, the Group continuously expands plants, replaces old production lines with new ones and incurs significant amounts of capital expenditures every year. The unfinished construction and uninspected equipment are measured at cost. When the finished construction’s inspection report is issued and the uninspected equipment is ready for use, they are reclassified to property, plant and equipment and starts accrual of depreciation expense. The inspection process involves management’s judgement, thus, the timing of reclassification and accrual of depreciation expense could be inappropriate. Therefore, we indicated that the audit of timing of depreciation recognition after reclassification of unfinished construction and uninspected equipment to property, plant and equipment as one of the key areas of focus for this year.

How our audit addressed the matter

The procedures that we have conducted in response to the above key audit matter are summarized as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the Group’s property, plant and equipment process cycle, reviewed the internal control process and purchase contracts of property, plant and equipment in order to assess the effectiveness of managements’ control of timing of reclassification of unfinished construction and uninspected equipment to property, plant and equipment.

  2. We tailored our audit over fixed asset classification to check whether reclassification of assets are accurate and recorded in the proper period.

  3. We verified the status of unfinished construction and uninspected equipment and assessed the reasonableness of the recognition of unfinished construction and uninspected equipment.

Changes of enterprise resource planning ERP system

Description

The ERP system of the Company’s subsidiary, CHENG SHIN TIRE & RUBBER (CHINA) CO., LTD., was changed from a self- developed system to the SAP system in October 2020. The SAP system would replace the operating platform initially used to record the subsidiary’s operating activities. Since this involved changes in the information environment of primary operating platform, thus, we listed the change of ERP system as a key audit matter.

17

fin001@D2762021-05-14 09:13:50

How our audit addressed the matter

The procedures that we have conducted in response to the above key audit matter are summarized as follows:

  1. Interviewed with management to discuss about the operating process which affected the new system, internal controls and introduction plan to assess the effectivity of the change in the system.

  2. Obtained an understanding on the control of data transfer when the system changed, and checked the accuracy of account balances at the beginning date.

  3. Obtained an understanding and tested the internal controls of primary operation and the system environment which was relied upon by the financial reporting to assess the effectiveness of internal controls after the data was transferred.

Other matter – Scope of the audit

We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets of NT$5,525,613 thousand and NT$5,017,732 thousand, constituting 4% and 3% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the total liabilities of NT$1,874,180 thousand and NT$1,767,827 thousand, constituting 3% and 2% of the consolidated total liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and total operating revenues of NT$5,323,093 thousand and NT$5,585,826 thousand, constituting 6% and 5% of consolidated total net operating revenue for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements and the information disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors.

Other matter – Parent company only financial statements

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion with other matter paragraph on the parent company only financial statements of the Group as at and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

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 the 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 the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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

19

fin001@D2762021-05-14 09:13:50

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR 20003836

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cheng Shin Rubber Ind. Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cheng Shin Rubber Ind. Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to the “other matter” section of our report), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for opinion

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

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:

28

fin001@D2762021-05-14 09:13:50

Appropriateness of cut-off on sales revenue

Description

For the accounting policy of revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4(31). For the detail of sales revenue, please refer to Note 6(21). For the year ended December 31, 2020, the sales revenue amounted to NT$18,926,294 thousand.

The Company’s main business is the manufacturing and sales of various tires and rubber products. The main sources of sales revenue are from the assembly plants and dealers. In accordance with the contract terms with some assembly plants, as inspections are completed in the assembly plants, the transfer of control to the merchandise is completed and sales revenue is recognized. The sales revenue recognition process involves many manual controls and adjustments are likely to occur. As a result, the timing of sales revenue recognition could be inappropriate. The aforementioned issue arises from the Company’s subsidiaries, recognized under investments accounted for using equity method. Therefore, we included the appropriateness of cut-off on sales revenue as one of the key areas of focus for this year.

How our audit addressed the matter

The procedures that we have conducted in response to the above key audit matter are summarized as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the Company’s sales revenue cycle, reviewed internal control process and contracts of assembly plant sales in order to assess the effectiveness of managements’ control of revenue recognition on assembly plant sales.

  2. We tested the Company’s sales transactions around the year-end date to check whether assembly plant sales are recorded in the proper period. We also tested whether changes in inventory and cost of goods sold were carried over and recorded in the proper period in order to assess the appropriateness of cut-off on sales revenue.

Timing of reclassification of unfinished construction and uninspected equipment to property, plant and equipment.

Description

For the accounting policy of property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 4(15). For the details of property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 6(7). As at December 31, 2020, the unfinished construction and equipment under acceptance amounted to NT$872,265 thousand. To maintain market competitiveness, the Company continuously expands plants, replaces old production lines with new ones and incurs significant amounts of capital expenditures every year. The unfinished construction and uninspected equipment are measured at cost. When the finished

29

fin001@D2762021-05-14 09:13:50

construction’s inspection report is issued and the uninspected equipment is ready for use, they are reclassified to property, plant and equipment and starts accrual of depreciation expense. The inspection process involves management’s judgement, thus, the timing of reclassification and accrual of depreciation expense could be inappropriate. Therefore, we indicated that the audit of timing of depreciation recognition after reclassification of unfinished construction and uninspected equipment to property, plant and equipment as one of the key areas of focus for this year.

How our audit addressed the matter

The procedures that we have conducted in response to the above key audit matter are summarized as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the Company’s property, plant and equipment process cycle, reviewed internal control process and purchase contracts of property, plant and equipment in order to assess the effectiveness of managements’ control of timing of reclassification of unfinished construction and uninspected equipment to property, plant and equipment.

  2. We tailored our audit over fixed asset classification to check whether reclassification of assets are correct and recorded in the proper period.

  3. We verified the status of unfinished construction and uninspected equipment and assessed the reasonableness of the recognition of unfinished construction and uninspected equipment.

Other matter – Scope of the audit

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments recognised under the equity method that are included in the financial statements. The balances of investments accounted for under equity method were NT$3,651,433 thousand and NT$3,249,905 thousand, representing 3% and 3% of total assets as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively; and the share of profit of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method were NT$881,676 thousand and NT$723,598 thousand, representing 14% and 41% of the total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors.

30

fin001@D2762021-05-14 09:13:50

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, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an

31

fin001@D2762021-05-14 09:13:50

opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

3.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • 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 auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

5.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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

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

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.

32

fin001@D2762021-05-14 09:13:50

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 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.
