Appendix I 2018 Business Report

(1) Preface

The trade conflict between China and U.S. continues from 2018 to 2019. The essence of trade conflict is, in fact, a competition between the two giant powers in the world for the global leading position. Despite that both countries have reached the first stage agreement at the end of 2019, the conflict between the two powers is expected to continue.

Under such circumstance, the global supply chain is under great migration in large scale, and Vietnam becomes the priority choice for the global manufacturers. In the textile and garment industries, brands and retailers have also adjusted their supply chains. Except for the domestic market in China, the proportion of production in China has been significantly decreased and the orders have been transferred or shifted to Southeast Asia or other new emerging developing countries.

In 2019, the U.S. demonstrated stable economic growth, and the labor market and wage continued to increase. By improving customer experience, direct sales on official website, and optimizing product delivery/return timing, National Brands drove their long term business growth. In addition to the market in North American, the market in Asia also demonstrated significant growth. Through research and innovation, the Company heads toward the development of high-value added and niche products, and collaborates with branded customers closely such that both operating revenue and operating income indicate continuous growth. Nevertheless, due to the trade war between the U.S. and China, the exchange rate in the financial market fluctuates violently, creating a non-operating unfavorable variable to the business.

  • (2) 2019 Business Plan Implementation Status and Outcome

  • 1) 2019 Business Plan Implementation Status

  • (i) Production capacity expansion: To cope with the customer future business increase, concentrating supply chain, the Company continues to expand the production capacity. Nevertheless, after the global supply chain moved out of China, the competition in the laborforce in Vietnam has become severe. After assessment, the Company has decided to establish its business in Indonesia and has also purchased land in 2019.

  • (ii) Quick response: The demands of the terminal consumers on fashion clothing changes rapidly; therefore, to reduce the inventory risk, branded makers continuously shorten the delivery date of the vendors. The Company continues to implement experiments with new research and develop manufacturing processes, introduce the use of new technologies, develop and integrate internal systems, cultivate and train professional technicians in order to increase efficiency, shorten delivery

dates and achieve quick response to market demands.

  • (iii) Diverse and high-value added products: With regard to the consumers’ definition of performance sportswear, it extends from the wear for sports to recreation lives, and it even fits to the fashion clothing and business official occasions.

(3) 2020 Business Plan

  • 1) 2020 Business Plan

  • (i) Global market planning: As National Brands execute the plan for supply chain concentration, the cooperation relationship with the Company will continue to be enhanced. In addition to the seeking of cooperating contractors in Vietnam and other regions in order to distribute different customer orders, the board of directors of the Company has also decided to establish its business in Indonesia for the construction of a one-stop shop factory from the processes of knitting to garment.

  • (ii) Optimize customer structure: The Company has maintained long-term cooperation relationship with the global leading brand makers and large retailers. In addition, the Company also cooperates with new small and medium size customers, and niche branded customers in light of assisting future stars in the industry. Since the centralized purchase supply chain adopted by the branded makers is the industrial trend, the Company will appropriately increase the ratio of the leading branded customers. With the change of the customer order structure, it will be advantageous to the Company in re-allocating the production capacity of factory plants, thereby increasing the production efficiency.

  • (iii)Talent cultivation and preparation: With the expansion of the business scale of the Company and the increase of the weight of branded customers, the Company will continue to cultivate professional talents, provide competitive salary strategy, focus on the issues of corporate social responsibility and environmental protection etc. The new headquarter building is also under construction according to the schedule. After the completion of the building, it is expected to provide a work place of more comprehensive environment and traffic convenience to employees. With regard to the production site, in addition to the recruitment of new workers through welfare and salary strategy, the Company will also enhance the training and provide bonus and incentive through evaluation mechanism in order to improve the quality of existing workers and to establish a complete promotion mechanism.

  • 2) 2020 Research and Development Plan

  • (i) Continue to research and develop functional fabrics: Functional fabrics are the core products of the Company, and the Company will continue to introduce new raw materials, new equipment in the research and development of new manufacturing processes and products, along with the improved production quality and yield rate. For the environment-friendly and high-end fabric markets, the Company will increase the investment in the talent development and equipment. Regarding the knitting and dying process, the Company will continue to invest in the development of new technologies, in light of leading the industry to head toward the new era for technologies and to expand the

  • 8 -

application of functional fabrics.

  • (ii) Co-creation with customers to generate value: Through the joint collaboration and development model with the upstream raw materials and downstream customers, along with the vertical integration advantage of the Company as well as the one-stop shopping service, the Company is able to create niche market and to prevent price competition with the competitors in the industry. In addition, the R&D team is able to assist customers to develop unique fabrics. Grow garment designer pool to assist customers to build new brands or create new market, thereby gradually increasing the ratio of ODM and the margin.

  • (iii) Digital technology and environmental-friendly manufacturing process: Introduce digital technology to, innovate manufacturing process. Applying the latest technologies of Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) etc. to integrate industry professional knowledge. Engage in industry-academy collaboration model to change the current manufacturing process requiring large amount of manpower in order to increase efficiency as well as to increase the product yield rate and production capacity per person. The Company also values corporate social responsibility significantly and implements labor safety and health related regulations. In addition to the product quality, the Company also invested great resources in the development and implementation of environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.

At the beginning of 2020, the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic has occurred, and in view of such outbreak, it will cause not only global panic but also global economic recession expected to take place in a short term, such that the general consumer demand will be affected. In terms of the geographical regions, despite that the epidemic has exploded in China first, it then spreads widely in a global scale, and all major consumer markets are being affected by such outbreak. Consequently, the business of the Company will certainly face the most rigorous challenge under such situation. Nevertheless, looking into the future in a long term, active and leisure wear will continue to be “essential” and “desired” products to consumers. Under the trend of concentrated supply chain of the branded makers, the cooperation with suppliers will be closer, and the production capacity scale, production site decentralization, inventory management, human rights, environmental protection and corporate social responsibility issues etc. of suppliers will also be emphasized and evaluated. The Company will continue to invest in research, development and innovation, focus on product quality, strengthen talent cultivation and management, in order to continuously create the maximum value for customers, employees and shareholders.

[Appendix III]

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Eclat Textile Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Eclat Textile Co., Ltd. (the “ Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of 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 ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRSs” ), International Accounting Standards (“ IASs” ), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 Auditor’ s 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.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter for the Company is stated as follow:

Revenue recognition and cut-off

Please refer to Note 4(n) for details of the accounting policies of the recognition of revenue and Note 6(m) operating revenues.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Revenue recognition of the Company is the main concern of the financial report users. Therefore, the assessment of revenue recognition is the key audit items in our audit.

  • 12 -

Our principal audit procedures included:

Testing the design and implementation of internal control over revenue recognition, inspecting the accuracy of revenue recognition, and reconciling between sales systems and general ledger; analyzing the company's main sources of revenues to evaluate whether there are major anomalies; conditions for revenue recognition and to further inspect related transaction documents to ensure the revenue is recorded in the appropriate period.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 financial statements free from material misstatement 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 members of 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 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 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 Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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

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

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

  4. 13 -

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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 Company audit.

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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hui-Chih Kou and HsinYi Kuo.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements 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 of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 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 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.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter for the Group is stated as follow:

Revenue recognition and cut-off

Please refer to note 4(o) for details of the accounting policies of the recognition of revenue and note 6(n) operating revenues.

  • 19 -

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Revenue recognition of the Group is the main concern of the consolidated financial report users. Therefore, the assessment of revenue recognition is the key audit items in our audit.

Our principal audit procedures included:

Testing the design and implementation of internal control over revenue recognition, inspecting the accuracy of revenue recognition, and reconciling between sales systems and general ledger; the Group’s main sources of revenues to evaluate whether there are major anomalies; conditions for revenue recognition and to further inspect related transaction documents to ensure that the revenue is recorded in the appropriate period.

Other Matter

ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD has prepared its individual financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, on which we have issued an unqualified 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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs,IFRIC,SIC, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 free from material misstatement 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 members of 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 due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements 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. 20 -

  3. 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.

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

  5. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  6. 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.

  7. 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 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 for the year ended December 31, 2019 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hui-Chih Kou and HsinYi Kuo.

Notes to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

The independent auditors’ report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of the English and Chinese language independent auditors’ report and consolidated financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.
