I. Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Overview
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.
Financial Performance
In 2019, the net operating revenue of the Group was NTD 28.125 billion, where the net operating revenue from the Knitting Division was NTD 8.573 billion, accounted for 30.48% of the overall operating revenue of the Group. The operating income from the Garment Division was NTD 19.552 billion, accounted for 69.52% of the overall operating revenue of the Group. The total thereof shows a growth of NTD 546.93 million from 2018 with a growth of 1.98%. Regarding the current operating profit, the operating profit for 2019 was NTD 5.471 billion, a growth of NTD 165.50 million from 2018 with a growth of 3.12%. The net income for 2019 was NTD 4.299 billion, a decline of NTD 80.505 million from 2018 with a decrease of 1.84%. For 2019, the earnings per share (EPS) after tax was NTD 15.67.

Business Developments
In 2020, in response to the trend of supply chain concentration and diversified manufacturing country of origin, the Company’s Board of Director has decided to establish a vertical integration factory of fabrics and garment in Indonesia. The Company seeks to cooperate with subcontractors in Vietnam and other regions to diversify its capacity. We will adequately raise the revenue share of our tier 1 clients, optimize product mix and reallocate capacity to elevate production efficiency. Along with the expansion of the Company, we will continue to cultivate professional talents, offer competitive benefit package and focus on issues including corporate social responsibilities and environment protection. The new headquarter is now under construction on schedule. We expect to offer our employees a consummate workplace with convenient transportation. As for our production bases, we will keep recruiting workforce via our strategies of salary and welfares. Education and training will be reinforced with examination system to offer bonus. We are aiming at elevating capabilities of our labor force and building up a complete promotion mechanism.
Outlook
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic outbreaks as the biggest black swan event, along with panics around the globe. We consider that short-term global economic recession is inevitable; the demand for consumer staples and discretionary industries will set back with no exceptions. As a result, we see strong headwind ahead of our business outlook. Nevertheless, leisure and sportswear are still goods what consumer “must have” and “desire to have” in the long-term perspective. On the trend of supplier consolidation, our customers cooperate more closely with vendors than ever before. Vendor’s scale of capacity, manufacturing site diversity, inventory management, human rights, environmental and corporate social responsibilities will be significantly valued. The Company will constantly invest in research and development, focus on product quality, fortify talents cultivation and management, apply digital technology and utilize environmental materials and process. We will keep creating the maximum value to our clients, employees and shareholders.
We wish all shareholders all the best, good health, and success
Chairman

5.1.2 Industry Overview
- Industry Current Status and Development:
The development of the textile industry (including complete and large production system of man-made fiber, spinning, knitting, dyeing and clothes manufacturing etc.) in Taiwan has a history of more than 60 years. With the drive for technological improvements and market demands,
-71-
vertical specialization of upstream, midstream and downstream sectors has been established and the supply chain is relatively complete. Regarding the upstream sector, the raw materials are plentiful and the processing techniques are skillful, it includes outstanding basis for the production scale and technologies of man-made fiber production that are extremely competitive internationally. It is also one of the main supply sources of man-made fiber products around the globe. The midstream sector has always achieved remarkable export business performance, and business operators in this sector have been the best cooperating partners of international brands. For the downstream sector, the garment industry has been one of the leading industries to establish operations worldwide under the pressure of labor wages.
Presently, the development of textile industry in Taiwan has gradually developed from the traditional labor-intensive clothes manufacturing factories (such as garment processing, sweaters etc.) into a complete textile production system from upstream, midstream to downstream sectors. In addition, the products manufactured have also expanded from traditional yarns, fabrics, man-made fibers and garments to non-woven fabrics with specific functions, industrial specialized fabrics, building material and furniture fabrics etc. Therefore, it has indeed become an industry with diverse development. Furthermore, the textile industry development in Taiwan has also shifted from OEM manufacturing model into an international cooperative production and sales system with vertical integration and horizontal specialization, which has certainly established solid foundation in the global textile industry with undeniable contribution worldwide.
According to the information from the Taiwan Textile Federation, in 2019, the total value of exported textile garment from our nation as US$ 9.18 billion, a decline of 8.9% from 2018; among which, the value of exported fabric was US$ 6.23 billion, a decline of 6.4% from the previous year. The value of exported yarn was US$ 1.44 billion, a decline of 14.1% from the previous year. In terms of the structure of export the largest product is the fabrics with an export ratio of 67.9%, indicating that the fabric industry is important for the development of the textile industry in terms of the manufacturing, and it is also the most important export product for the textile industry. The next largest export product is yarns, accounting for 15.7% of the export ratio. The third largest exported product is fibers, accounting for 6.6% of the export ratio. In the textile industry, the export ratios for the midstream and upstream fibers, yarns and fabrics account for a total exceeding 90%.

The textile industry in Taiwan is an industry that is highly export-oriented with foreign exchange earnings. Due to the downstream business operators in our nation requiring sufficient labor manpower, they tend to spread to overseas and most operators still rely on the import of high performance and fabrics with high quality from Taiwan. Consequently, it serves as the driving force for the upstream and midstream industries in Taiwan. The textile garment industry in our nation is export-oriented, and from the table below, it can be understood that the average export dependence for textile garment industry (calculated based on the export value over the production value weight) reaches 79%. In addition, the import value of textile garment industry in 2019 was US$ 3.55 billion, and the trade surplus reached US$ 5.63 billion, which was the industry of the 4th largest trade surplus in Taiwan. Over the past decade, the textile industry continues to drive the economic development in Taiwan and is one of the main industry for generating foreign exchange earnings. The textile industry generates appropriately an average of foreign exchange earnings of US$ 7.5 billion, which has significant benefits to the balance of payments of our nation.

The scope of the textile industry is relatively broad, and the upstream, midstream and downstream of the industry include six main fields of yarn, spinning, knitting, dyeing, garment and retail etc. Presently, in the domestic textile industry, there are several large companies exploiting their corporate competitive advantages making the most appropriate development direction in different fields in order to construct a vertically integrated industry and are active in establishing their own textile territory internationally, such as Formosa Nan Ya Group, Far Eastern Group, Shin Kong Group, Tainan Spinning Group and Eclat Group.
- Product development direction:
According to the survey conducted by the market research
-76-
institution Technavio, the global demand for activewear including fitness and sports continues to grow, and the sales of sportswear in North America accounts for over 37% worldwide. It is expected to increase rapidly at a compound annual growth rate above 4.34% by the year of 2020, reaching a market size of USD 196.6 billion
With the increasing popularity in the sporty and healthy trend, in addition to standard sportswear, comfortable and fitted sportswear has become the main stream of daily wears. A lot of fashion brands and channel brands have started to launch relevant series of products, indicating the growth of sportswear is more prominent than the performance of the overall clothing.
Based on the consideration of the fast growth in the sports wear market and consumers have higher standard on functional products, domestic and foreign manufacturers are actively engaging in innovative research and development in relevant production technologies, such as: use of microporous membranes in the knitting and dyeing process methods, high-density fabrics, other special auxiliary treatment; use of special cutting, attachment ...etc. technologies for garment, in order to achieve the functional effects of low resistance, abrasion resistance, high strength, light and thin, insulation, UV protection, absorbing and fast drying, breathable and waterproof, anti-bacterial and deodorization etc. In recent years, the textile industry in Germany has also successfully developed biomedical technology and electronic technology textiles with the use of polymer and fiber materials in order to integrate the concepts of telecommunication, information processing, medical and sensor etc. into textiles, such that textiles are able to be equipped with the functions of being capable of responding to toxic substances or gases, temperature, heart rate, pulse, pressure, movement, breath, self-cleaning, temperature regulation, protection and healthcare etc.; consequently, consumer demands on health, sports and recreation can be satisfied.
The textile industry in Taiwan is known as the “Trillion Dollar Industry”, and under the influence of the global regional trading agreements signed, the global development of the Taiwanese supply chain is accelerating. Despite that there is a declining trend in the domestic production value, the percentages of order received and global production in Taiwan increases year after year. With the labor advantages in terms of quantity and lower wage, China and various Southeast countries are gradually causing greater pressure to be put on Taiwanese manufacturers in the international market of general sportswear, garment and decorative, and they also threaten the
-77-
development of Taiwanese manufacturers in the professional OEM market. Accordingly, the company is of the opinion that enterprises having their own research and development abilities in order to continuously achieve innovations in products and manufacturing processes while being equipped with the differentiation ability to move from OEM to high value-added ODM business, is the key competitive ability for the continuous development of the industry. This is the main direction for the future operation strategic development of enterprises, and is also essential for the sustainable operation of the textile industry in Taiwan.

Market Analysis of Major Product Categories:
-
(1). Market future supply and demand outlook – textile and dyeing industry:
For spun, with the fast emerging origins of natural fiber raw materials of China, Pakistan and Indonesia etc., and due to the excessive factory expansion by the domestic manufacturers, production capacity is in excess. This has led to price competition and significant reduction in profit for domestic natural fiber yarns and textiles manufacturers, such that a great number of manufacturers move out of the country. Regarding Synthetic fiber, in terms of the woven fabrics, with the significant increase in the demand for functional textiles, and since such type of functional textiles are mostly made from the modification and processing from man-made fibers, the future market for functional textiles is
-89-
expected to continue to grow. Post-processing fabric are closely related to the market information trend.
Regarding the knitted fabrics, in recent years, due to the short product life cycle of knitted fabrics, low entrance barrier and the trend of low product price in the international market, traders and distributors tend to seek sources in the regions of China and Southeast Asia. Under the influence of technical guidance over the past years, the manufacturers in the regions of China and Southeast Asia are now able to produce products of competent level to the products made by Taiwanese Manufacturers. Despite of the fact that the quality of products from China and Southeast Asia are still unstable, their prices are nevertheless far more attractive then Taiwanese products, such that the domestic export quantity of knitted fabrics is decreasing year after year.
Countermeasure and Required Criteria:
The countermeasures that can be adopted by the knitted fabrics and dyeing industry include reinforcement of the differentiation, technology alliance, local market rooting, branding management and global market expansion.

(2) Market future supply and demand outlook -- garment industry: Garment industry is characterized by its labor-intensive industry, and the factory establishment cost and capital technology level are relatively low. In recent years, due to the continuous increase of the wage in Taiwan, the basic employee labor supply is clearly insufficient such that garment manufacturing operation environment is difficult. In addition to the cheap labor cost advantages in China and new emerging countries, manufacturers in the industry continue to move out of Taiwan.
Countermeasure and Required Criteria:
-90-
The strategy combinations recommended to be adopted by the garment industry include the three strategies of global market expansion, branding management and local market rooting etc. The required criteria include sound financial standing, outstanding management talents, market keenness and ambition of leaders, equipped with product planning and R&D talents, and the ability to satisfy the basic demands of branded customers in terms of the criteria of quality, price, research and development, service, lead time, human rights, environmental protection etc. completely.

With the complete industry structure, the production capacity for fibers and processed yarns is ranked high worldwide. As a result, the raw materials can be obtained relatively easily, the source of supply is abundant and the quality is also stable. Regarding elastic fibers, Eclat mainly uses the elastic fibers of “Lycra” produced by Invista, and such elastic fiber is at the leading position in the industry. In terms of the market demand, all developed and emerging countries worldwide are gradually focusing on recreation lifestyles, and the outdoor activity time generally increases. This is particularly so in developed countries in Europe and America, which place great emphasis on health and recreational lifestyles. So much so that the demand for recreation, functional and healthy wear is being driven to increase, and the scale of relevant market is expanding significantly. Knitted fabric of the characteristics of small-volume with large-variety have earned great recognition from professional designers such that knitted fabric is used as the material for high-end fashion wear and is of great potential in fashion trend development. The future outlook of the elastic fabric of the company demonstrates great market potential.

Favorable factors to business development:
A.Stable raw material source:
- (a) Synthetic fiber: In recent years, with the rapid development of the petrochemical industry in Taiwan, the production capacity of the downstream man-made fibers, processed yarns are driven to expand, and the production capacity of polyester fibers is
-92-
also ranked top 4th worldwide. For knitted fabric, synthetic fiber can be obtained easily and the supply source is stable while the price of raw material is also lower than other competitors in, such as Japan and the US.
-
(b) Spun: Under the impact of global climate change, the annual production quantity and price of natural fibers also fluctuate. To ensure the stable raw material supply source, the company engages in long-term cooperation with well-known suppliers, such as: Tai Yuen Textile and Far Eastern New Century, in order to ensure the stable source of yarns such that the Company is able to cooperate with the production progress and to arrange the lead time.

The main reason for decreasing of times interest earned is as follows : 1.1 The amount of accounts receivable factor increases year by year, introducing to the increase of interest payment. 1.2 Recognizing interest expense of financial leases since the IFRS16 be adopted in 2019FY. 2. Cash flow ratio increased due to excellent overall profit status, and the cash flow from operating activities increased. |
* If the Company has prepared individual financial report, the Individual Financial Ratio Analysis of the Company shall be further prepared.
Note 1: The fiscal year not yet audited by the independent auditors shall be indicated.
Note 2: Publicly listed company or companies with stocks traded at securities firm business places shall also incorporate the financial information up to the quarter before the printing date of the annual report for that year into analysis.
Note 3: Calculation formulas as follows:
-
Financial structure
-
(1) Debt to asset ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets
-
(2) Long-term capital to property, plant & equipment ratio = (Total equity + non-current liabilities) / net property, plant & equipment.
-
Solvency
-
(1) Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities.
-
(2) Quick ratio = (current assets-inventory-prepaid expenses) / current liabilities.
-
(3) Times interest earned = net profit before interest and tax / interest expenses for the current period.
-
Management capacity
-
(1) Receivables turnover ratio (including account receivables and note receivables from operating activities) = net sales / average receivables balance (including account receivables and note receivables from operating activities).
-
(2) Average collection days = 365 / receivables turnover ratio.
-
(3) Inventory turnover ratio = cost of sales / average inventory.
-
(4) Payables turnover ratio (including account payables and note payables from operating
-116-
activities) = cost of sales / average payables balance (including account payables and note payables from operating activities).
-
(5) Days sales outstanding = 365 / Inventory turnover ratio.
-
(6) Property, plant and equipment turnover ratio = net sales / average net property, plant and equipment.
-
(7) Total asset turnover = net sales / average total assets.
-
Profitability
-
(1) Return on assets = (net Income + interest expenses * (1 - effective tax rate)) / average total assets.
-
(2) Return on equity = net income / average equity.
-
(3) Net profit margin = net Income / net Sales
-
(4) Earnings per share = (net profit or loss attributed to shareholders of the parent - preference dividend) / weighted average number of shares outstanding (Note 4)
-
Cash flow
-
(1) Cash flow ratio = net cash provided by operating activities / current liabilities
-
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = five-year sum of cash from operations / five-year (sum of capital expenditures, inventory additions, and cash dividend)
-
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash provided by operating activities - cash dividends)/ (gross property, plant and equipment + long-term investments + other non-current assets + working capital) (Note 5)
-
Leverage:
-
(1) Operating leverage = (net operating revenue - operating variable cost and expense) / operating income (Note 6).
(2) Financial leverage = operating income / (operating income - interest expenses)
-
Note 4: The aforementioned calculation equation for earnings per share, please be aware of the following during the measurement:
-
It is calculated based on the number of weighted average outstanding common shares, rather than based on the number of shares already issued by the end of year.
-
For cash capital increase or treasury shares transactions, the circulation period has been considered in order to calculate the number of weighted average shares.
-
For earning converting into capital increase or capital surplus converting into capital increase, during the calculation of the earning per share for the previous year and semi-annually, retroactive adjustment has been made according to the ratio of the capital increase, but the issuance period of the capital increase is not yet considered.
-
Note 5: During the measurement of the cash flow analysis, please be aware of the following:
-
Net cash flow from operating activities refers to the net cash inflow from operating activities in the statement of cash flows.
-
Capital expense refers to the cash outflow of capital investment in each year.
-
Inventory increase is only counted when the ending balance is greater than the opening balance. If the inventory at the end of year decreases, then it is counted as zero for the
-117-
calculation.
-
Cash dividends include the cash dividends of common stocks and preference shares.
-
Gross property, plant and equipment refer to the total amount of property, plant and equipment before deduction of accumulated depreciation.
-
Note 6: Issuer shall classify the operating cost and operating expense into fixed and variable. In case where estimation or subjective judgment is involved, issuer shall be aware of its reasonability and shall maintain the consistency of such cost and expense.

[Explanation] Calculation formulas as follows:
-
Financial structure
-
(1) Debt to asset ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets
-
(2) Long-term capital to property, plant & equipment ratio = (Total equity + non-current liabilities) / net property, plant & equipment.
-
Solvency
-
(1) Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities.
-
(2) Quick ratio = (current assets- inventory - prepaid expenses) / current liabilities.
-
(3) Times interest earned = net profit before interest and tax / interest expenses for the current period.
-
Management capacity
-
(1) Receivables turnover ratio (including account receivables and note receivables from operating activities) = net sales / average receivables balance (including account receivables and note receivables from operating activities).
-
(2) Average collection days = 365 / receivables turnover ratio.
-
(3) Inventory turnover ratio = cost of sales / average inventory
-
(4) Payables turnover ratio (including account payables and note payables from operating activities) = cost of sales / average payables balance (including account payables and note payables from operating activities).

(3) Net profit margin = net Income / net Sales
-
(4) Earnings per share = (Profit after tax - Preference dividend) / weighted average number of shares outstanding. (Note 4)
-
Cash flow

- 6.4 Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and Independent Auditors’ Report
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.
-123-
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:
- 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.
-124-
-
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 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 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.

(English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese) ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(1) Company history
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. (the “Company”) was incorporated in November 1977. The Company has established the Tashan Plant, Miao-li Plant and Hsichou Plant in Miao-li, and Dayuan Plant in Taoyuan. The Company and its subsidiaries (the “ Group” ) have mainly been involved in the manufacturing and marketing of knitwear. Please refer to note 4(c) for more details about the operation of the Group.
(2) Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements
On March 05, 2020 the board of directors approved and noted the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.
(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:
- (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
| Effective date | |
|---|---|
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | per IASB |
| IFRS 16 “Leases” | January 1, 2019 |
| IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments” | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 “Prepayment features with negative compensation” | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 19 “Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement” | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 28 “Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures” | January 1, 2019 |
| Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015–2017 Cycle | January 1, 2019 |
Except for the following items, the Group believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:
(i) IFRS 16“Leases”
IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
(Continued)
-130-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below:
1) Definition of a lease
Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in Note 4(l).
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Group applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.
2) As a lessee
As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Group. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.
- Leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17
At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at either:
-
-their carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date, discounted using the lessee’ s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application – the Group applied this approach to its largest property leases; or -
-an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments – the Group applied this approach to all other lease.
In addition, the Group used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases.
-Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
(Continued)
-131-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
-
-Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application. -
-Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. -
3) Impacts on financial statements
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognized additional $109,120 thousands of right-
of-use assets and $111,169 thousands of lease liabilities, recognizing the difference in retained earnings. When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 1.95%.
- (b) The impact of IFRS endorsed by FSC but not yet effective
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 in accordance with Ruling No. 1080323028 issued by the FSC on July 29, 2019:
| Effective date | |
|---|---|
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | per IASB |
| Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” | January 1, 2020 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39 and IFRS7 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform” | January 1, 2020 |
| Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material” | January 1, 2020 |
The Group assesses that the adoption of the abovementioned standards would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
- (c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
As of the date, the following IFRSs that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC: | |
|---|---|
| Effective date | |
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | per IASB |
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between | Effective date to |
| an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture” | be determined |
| by IASB | |
| IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” | January 1, 2021 |
| Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” | January 1, 2022 |
The Group is evaluating the impact of its initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations on its consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:
The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized as follows. Except for Note 3 and 4(l), the following accounting policies were applied consistently through all reporting periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commissions (hereinafter referred to as IFRS as endorsed by the FSC).
(b) Basis of preparation
(i) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the net defined benefit liabilities are measured at the fair value of the plan assets, less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
(ii) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Group is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(c) Basis of Consolidation
(i) Principles of preparation consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Transactions balances and any unrealized gains or losses between the Group and its subsidiaries have been eliminated while compiling the consolidated financial statements. The comprehensive income of the subsidiary is attributed to the parent, within equity.
Accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been adjusted to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

(iii) The subsidiaries are not included in the consolidated financial statements: none.
-
(d) Foreign currency
-
(i) Foreign currency transaction
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Group at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transaction.
(Continued)
-134-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the Group’s functional currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the Group’s functional currency at the average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Group disposes only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.
- (e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current:
-
(i) It is expected to be realized, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
-
(ii) The Group holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
(iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting date; or
-
(iv) The asset is cash or cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current:
-
(i) It is expected to be settled in its normal operating cycle;
-
(ii) The Group holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
(iii) The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
(iv) The Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(Continued)

ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Term deposits that meet the above requirements and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.
(g) Financial instruments
All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
(i) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
-
‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
‧ its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
2)
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivable, refundable deposits and other financial assets).
(Continued)
-136-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL), except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:
‧ bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowance for accounts receivable is always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 60 days past due.
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 180 days past due.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘ credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
-
‧ significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
-
‧ a breach of contract such as a default past due; or
-
‧ it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
(Continued)
-137-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
3)
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
(ii) Financial liabilities
1) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost.
Subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
3)
- Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(h) Inventories
Inventories are necessary expenditures and charges for bringing the inventory to a salable and useable condition and location. In the case of manufactured overhead, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity of labor hours or machine hours and is allocated to finish goods and work-in-progress. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value subsequently and the cost of inventories is calculated using the monthly weighted-average method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
-
(i) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
-
(i) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are highly probable to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are reclassified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets, or components of a disposal group are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter, the assets or disposal groups are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are no longer amortized or depreciated.
(ii) Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's which it has disposed of or held for sale and is solely a main practice or operation district. An operation will be classified as a discontinued operation upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, whichever comes first.
(j) Investment in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group’ s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
Gains and losses resulting from the transactions between the Group and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Group’s interests in the associate.
(Continued)
-139-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interests in an associate, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
(k) Property, plant and equipment
-
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
- (ii) Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
- (iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:
-
1) Buildings: 5 to 60 years.
-
2) Machinery and equipment: 2 to 25 years.
-
3) Transportation equipment: 3 to 8 years.
-
4) Office equipment: 5 to 9 years.
-
5) Miscellaneous equipment: 3 to 15 years.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

- (l) Leases
Applicable from January 1, 2019
(i) Identifying a lease
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:
-
1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and
-
2) the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
-
3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:
-
the Company has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or
-
the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:
-
-the Company has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or -
-the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.
(ii) As a leasee
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
(Continued)
-141-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
-
fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
-
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
-
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
-
payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
-
there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or
-
there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or
-
there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or
-
there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or
-
there is any lease modifications.
-
(iii) As a lessor
When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
The lessor recognizes a finance lease receivable at an amount equal to its net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs, such as lessors to negotiate and arrange a lease, are included in the measurement of the net investment. The interest income is recognized over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other income’.
(Continued)
-142-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Applicable before January 1, 2019
(i) Lessor
A finance lease asset is recognized on a net basis as lease receivable. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the net investment in the leased asset. The finance income is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the receivable.
Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset, and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.
Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.
(ii) Lessee
Leases in which the Group assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the lease asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the asset.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance cost and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance cost is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Other leases are operating leases and are not recognized in the Group’s balance sheets.
Payments made under operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Contingent rent is recognized as expense in the period in which it is incurred. Recognition of income arising from a sale and leaseback transaction depends upon the type of lease involved. If a sale and leaseback transaction results in a finance lease, any excess of sales proceeds over the carrying amount is deferred and amortized over the lease term. If a sale and leaseback transaction results in an operating lease, and it is clear that the transaction is established at fair value, any profit or loss is recognized immediately. If the sales price is below fair value, any profit or loss shall be recognized immediately except that if the loss is compensated for by future lease payments at below-market price, it is deferred and amortized in proportion to the lease payments over the period for which the asset is expected to be used. If the sales price is above fair value, the excess over fair value is deferred and amortized over the period for which the asset is expected to be used.
(Continued)
-143-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For operating leases, if the fair value at the time of a sale and leaseback transaction is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss equal to the amount of the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value shall be recognized immediately.
(m) Intangible assets
- (i) Recognition and measurement
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Amortization
Except for goodwill, amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
Software : 2 to 10 years.
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(n) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
(Continued)
-144-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
-
(o) Revenue recognition
-
(i) Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer.
The Group manufactures and sells elastic fabrics and clothing. The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.
(p) Employee benefits
- (i) Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plan are expensed as the related service is provided.
- (ii) Defined benefit plans
The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
(Continued)
-145-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
- (iii) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(q) Income taxes
Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:
-
(i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;
-
(ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, and associates that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
(iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
(Continued)
-146-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:
-
(i) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
-
(ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
1) the same taxable entity; or
-
2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
(r)
Earnings per share
The Group reports the basic earnings per share and the diluted earnings per share. The basic earnings per share are calculated based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholder of the Company divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(s)
Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses(including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components, of the Group). Operating results of the operating segments are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone finance information.
(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

- (b) Notes receivable and accounts receivable
The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, notes and accounts receivable have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information, including the macroeconomic and related industrial information.
The loss allowance provisions were determined as follows:
| Current Within 30 days past due 31~120 days past due Over 121 days past due |

None of notes receivable and accounts receivable held by the Group were pledged, collateralized or discounted as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Accounts receivable of the Group have been insured accounts receivable credit risk. The insured amounts are $154,100 thousand and $514,914 thousand as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Guaranteed fraction is 90% of reviewed credit of policyholder; the recoverable amount of the insurance is considered when deciding impairment amount of accounts receivable.
The Group has signed accounts receivable factoring contracts without recourse with financial institutions. As stated in the contract, the Group doesn't have to bear the risks of uncollectable accounts receivables but the loss incurred due to commercial arguments, and hence meets the criteria of derecognition of financial assets. Factored accounts receivable which are not due as of the report date are as follows:

2) Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank borrowings and accounts payable. A 1% depreciation or appreciation of the TWD against the USD as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased or decreased the net income after tax by $32,048 thousand and $36,556 thousand respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases. The analysis is based on the same basis.
- 3) Foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items
The amounts of conversion gains and losses (including realized and unrealized) of monetary items of the Group which was converted into functional currency (that is the Group’ s expression currency), and the exchange rate information converted to the Company’s functional currency, NTD, are as follows:
| USD | 2019 Realized and unrealized exchange loss Average rate $ (17,663) 30.912 |
2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Realized and unrealized exchange loss $ (17,663) |
Realized and unrealized exchange gain Average rate 206,379 30.149 |
- (iv) Interest rate analysis
The Group’ s exposure to interest rate risk arising from financial assets and liabilities is described in the liquidity risk part of this note.
The following sensitivity analysis is determined through the exposure to interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative instruments on the reporting date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the balances of outstanding liabilities on the reporting date have been outstanding for the whole period, and their rational change intervals are being estimated. If the interest rate increases/decreases by 1%, representing the reasonable interest rates changes made by management.
If the interest rate increases/decreases by 1%, the Group's net income will decrease/increase by $1,829 thousand and $2,005 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with all other variable factors that remain constant. This is mainly due to the Group's borrowings in variable rates.
- (v) Fair value
The Group’s management considers its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost to be the approximation of the fair value.

(r) Financial risk management
- (i) Nature and extent
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its financial instruments:
-
1) Credit risk
-
2) Liquidity risk
-
3) Market risk
This note expresses the information of risk exposure and goals, policies and procedures for the Group to measure and manage risks. Please refer to notes in consolidated financial statements for further quantitative disclosures.
(ii) Risk management framework
The board of directors is responsible for the supervision of the Group’ s risk management framework.
The risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the Group’s exposure to risks, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’ s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aim to develop a disciplines and constructive control environment, in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The audit committee of the Group oversees how the management complies in monitoring the Group’ s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The internal audit sector of the Group reviews the risk management controls and procedure on scheduled and nonscheduled basis, and reports the results to the audit committee.
(iii) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.
1) Accounts receivable
Every single client affects the credit risk exposure of the Group, but still, the management should consider the status of its clients, including the industry the client belongs to and the default risk of the country where the client is located. Because the transaction of the Group is not concentrated in one single client for 2019 and 2018, therefore, there is no concentration on credit risk for accounts receivable.
(Continued)
-166-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
To minimize the risk of accounts receivable, the Group established a risk management procedure relating to the financial condition of the client, credit risk rating, historical transactions inside the Group, and the current economic situation that may affect the clients’ ability to pay up the bills. The Group also uses some credit-improved tools such as prepayments and credit insurance in order to reduce specific client’s credit risk.
2) Financial investments
The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits, fix income investments and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the Group’ s finance department. As the Group deals with the banks and other external parties with good credit standing and financial institutions, corporate organization and government agencies which are graded above investment level, the management believes that the Group does not have any compliance issues, and therefore, there is no significant credit risk.
3) Guarantee
The Group only provide guarantee to wholly owned subsidiaries. The Group did not provide guarantee to any third party as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
(iv) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group estimates the cost of products and services based on accounting policy in order to assist in monitoring its cash flow requirements and optimizing its cash return on investments. Generally, the Group ensures that there is sufficient cash to cover expected operating expenditure demand, but excluding potential influence under unexpected extremely condition (i.e. nature disaster). In addition, the total amount of unused credit term as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $5,384,289 thousand and $6,150,541 thousand respectively.
(v) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that comes from changes in market prices such as changes of foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, impacting the Group’s income or the value of financial instruments held by the Group. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable range and optimize the return on investments.
(Continued)
-167-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the board of directors.
1) Exchange rate risk
The Group’s exposure to currency risk is on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group, primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (NTD). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in NTD, USD, VND and CNY.
At any point of time, the Group’s principle is to regularly hedge using the net value after offsetting assets and liabilities. The choice of hedging exchange rate risk instruments is based on the cost and the period of hedging. The Group mainly hedges its currency risk using the foreign exchange contracts.
2) Interest rate risk
All of the Group’s assets and liabilities bear floating interest rates, and thus suffer from cash flow interest rate risk exposure. The detail of floating interest rates of the Group’s assets and liabilities are described in note of liquidity risk management.
(s) Capital management
The Board’ s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and to sustain the future development of the business. The capital includes common stock, capital surplus, retained earnings and other equities. Therefore, the capital management of the Group focuses on ensuring necessary financial resources and increase stockholders’ value, examining the capital return periodically. The Group’s return on capital as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
| Net income Total capital Return on capital |
For the years ended December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2019 2018 $ 4,299,249 4,379,754 $ 18,123,752 16,931,030 % 23.72 % 25.87 |

(14) Segment information:
- (a) General information
The Group has two reportable segments: knitted division, which produces and sells flexible textile and clothing division, which produces, process and sells clothing.
These two reportable segments are regional operating units and provide different products. Because every regional operating unit needs different techniques and marketing strategy, each should be managed separately; most of operating units are acquired separately and the management team at the time of acquisition is kept.
The Group does not allocate income tax expense (gain), investment income or loss under equity method and extraordinary gain or loss to reportable segments. The reported amount is the same as the amount of the financial statements used by operating decision makers.
- (b) Information about income/loss, assets, liabilities, basis for measurement and reconciliation for reportable segments
The Group’ s operating departments accounting policies are all the same as note4 “ Summary of accounting policies”. The Group’s operating department measures its income or loss at operating income or loss before income tax and treats operating income or loss before income tax as the basis of assessing performance; the Group treats sales and transfers among departments as related parties’ transactions and is measured at current fair value.

6.5 Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and Independent Auditors’ Report
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.
-180-
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-181-
-
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 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(1) Company history
Eclat Textile Co., Ltd. (the “ Company” ) was incorporated in November 1977. The Company has established the Tashan Plant, Miao-li Plant and Hsichou Plant in Miao-li, and Dayuan Plant in Taoyuan. It has mainly been involved in the manufacturing and marketing of knitwear.
(2) Approval date and procedures of the financial statements
On March 05, 2020, the board of directors approved and noted the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.
(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:
- (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
| are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. | |
|---|---|
| Effective date | |
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | per IASB |
| IFRS 16 “Leases” | January 1, 2019 |
| IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments” | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 “Prepayment features with negative compensation” | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 19 “Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement” | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 28 “Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures” | January 1, 2019 |
| Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015–2017 Cycle | January 1, 2019 |
Except for the following items, the Company believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:
- (i) IFRS 16“Leases”
IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
(Continued)
-187-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
The Company applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below:
1) Definition of a lease
Previously, the Company determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in Note 4(k).
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Company applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.
2) As a lessee
As a lessee, the Company previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Company. Under IFRS 16, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.
- Leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17
At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’ s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at either:
-
-their carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date, discounted using the lessee’ s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application – the Company applied this approach to its largest property leases; or -
-an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments – the Company applied this approach to all other lease.
In addition, the Company used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases.
-Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
(Continued)
-188-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
-
-- Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
-
-Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. -
3) Impacts on financial statements
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognized additional $57,936 thousands of rightof-use assets, $58,405 thousands of lease liabilities and $1,580 of investments accounted for using equity method, recognizing the difference in retained earnings. When measuring lease liabilities, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 1.095%.
- (b) The impact of IFRS endorsed by FSC but not yet effective
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 in accordance with Ruling No. 1080323028 issued by the FSC on July 29, 2019:
| Effective date | |
|---|---|
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | per IASB |
| Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” | January 1, 2020 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39 and IFRS7 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform” | January 1, 2020 |
| Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material” | January 1, 2020 |
The Company assesses that the adoption of the abovementioned standards would not have any material impact on its financial statements.
- (c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
As of the date, the following IFRSs that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC: | |
|---|---|
| Effective date | |
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | per IASB |
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between | Effective date to |
| an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture” | be determined |
| by IASB | |
| IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” | January 1, 2021 |
| Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” | January 1, 2022 |
The Company is evaluating the impact of its initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations on its financial position and financial performance. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Company completes its evaluation.

ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:
The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized as follows. Except for Note 3 and 4(k), the following accounting policies were applied consistently through all reporting periods presented in the financial statements.
(a) Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
(b) Basis of preparation
- (i) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the net defined benefit liabilities are measured at the fair value of the plan assets, less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
(ii) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Company is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’ s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(c) Foreign currency
- (i) Foreign currency transaction
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transaction.
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operation are translated into the Company’ s functional currency at the average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.
(Continued)
-190-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Company disposes only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, the foreign currency exchange gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.
- (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.
-
(i) It is expected to be realized, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
-
(ii) The Company holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
(iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting date; or
-
(iv) The asset is cash or cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.
-
(i) It is expected to be settled in its normal operating cycle;
-
(ii) The Company holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
(iii) The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
(iv) The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Term deposits that meet the above requirements and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.
(Continued)
-191-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
(f) Financial instruments
All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
(i) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
-
‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
‧ its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
- 2) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets).
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL), except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:
- ‧ bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
(Continued)
-192-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
Loss allowance for accounts receivable is always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forwardlooking information.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 60 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 180 days past due.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘ credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
-
‧ significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
-
‧ a breach of contract such as a default past due; or
-
‧ it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
(Continued)
-193-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
(ii) Financial liabilities
1) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost.
Subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
3)
- Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Inventories are necessary expenditures and charges for bringing the inventory to a salable and useable condition and location. In the case of manufactured overhead, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity of labor hours or machine hours and is allocated to finish goods and work-in-progress. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value subsequently and the cost of inventories is calculated using the monthly weighted-average method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
(h) Investment in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.
The Company’s financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Company’s interests in the associate.
When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interests in an associate, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
- (i) Investment in subsidiaries
In preparing the financial statements, the Company appraises its investees by using equity method. Under equity method, current income and other comprehensive income from financial statement is the same as the consolidated income and other comprehensive income attributable to parent. Shareholders’ equity is the same as the consolidated shareholders’ equity.
The Company treated the changes of subsidiaries’ equity as transactions among owners.
-
(j) Property, plant and equipment
-
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
(Continued)
-195-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
- (iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:
-
1) Buildings: 5 to 60 years.
-
2) Machinery and equipment: 2 to 25 years.
-
3) Transportation equipment: 3 to 8 years.
-
4) Office equipment: 5 to 9 years.
-
5) Miscellaneous equipment: 3 to 15 years.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
- (k) Leases
Applicable from January 1, 2019
- (i) Identifying a lease
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
- 1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and
(Continued)
-196-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
-
2) the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
-
3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:
-
the Company has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or
-
the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:
-
-the Company has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or -
-the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.
-
-
(ii) As a leasee
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
-
-fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; -
-variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; -
- -
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
-
-payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
(Continued)
-197-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
-
-there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or -
-there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or -
-there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or -
-there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or -
- -
there is any lease modifications
(iii) As a lessor
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
The lessor recognizes a finance lease receivable at an amount equal to its net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs, such as lessors to negotiate and arrange a lease, are included in the measurement of the net investment. The interest income is recognized over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other income’.
Applicable before January 1, 2019
- (i) Lessor
A finance lease asset is recognized on a net basis as lease receivable. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the net investment in the leased asset. The finance income is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the receivable.
Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset, and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.
(Continued)
-198-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.
(ii) Lessee
Leases in which the Company assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the lease asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the asset.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance cost and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance cost is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Other leases are operating leases and are not recognized in the Company’s balance sheets.
Payments made under operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Contingent rent is recognized as expense in the period in which it is incurred. Recognition of income arising from a sale and leaseback transaction depends upon the type of lease involved. If a sale and leaseback transaction results in a finance lease, any excess of sales proceeds over the carrying amount is deferred and amortized over the lease term. If a sale and leaseback transaction results in an operating lease, and it is clear that the transaction is established at fair value, any profit or loss is recognized immediately. If the sales price is below fair value, any profit or loss shall be recognized immediately except that if the loss is compensated for by future lease payments at below-market price, it is deferred and amortized in proportion to the lease payments over the period for which the asset is expected to be used. If the sales price is above fair value, the excess over fair value is deferred and amortized over the period for which the asset is expected to be used.
For operating leases, if the fair value at the time of a sale and leaseback transaction is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss equal to the amount of the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value shall be recognized immediately.
(l) Intangible assets
- (i) Recognition and measurement
Other intangible assets are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization.
(Continued)
-199-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Amortization
Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
Software : 2 to 3 years.
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(m) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
(n) Revenue recognition
- (i) Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer.
(Continued)
-200-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
The Company manufactures and sells elastic fabrics and clothing. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’ s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.
(o) Employee benefits
(i) Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plan are expensed as the related service is provided.
(ii) Defined benefit plans
The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(Continued)
-201-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
- (iii) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(p) Income taxes
Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combination or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:
-
(i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;
-
(ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and associates that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
-
(iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:
-
(i) the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
-
(ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
1) the same taxable entity; or
-
2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
(Continued)
-202-
ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
(q) Earnings per share
The Company reports the basic earnings per share and the diluted earnings per share. The basic earnings per share are calculated based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholder of the Company divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(r) Operating segments
The Company has already disclosed the segment information in the consolidated financial statement; therefore, the Company need not disclose the segment information again in the financial statement.
(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

- 2) Sensitivity analysis
The Company’ s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank borrowings and accounts payable. A 1% depreciation or appreciation of the TWD against the USD as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased or decreased the net income after tax by $23,945 thousand and $30,214 thousand respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases. The analysis is based on the same basis.

(ii) Risk management framework
The board of directors is responsible for the supervision of the Company’s risk management framework.
(Continued)

ECLAT TEXTILE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements
The risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the Company’s exposure to risks, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aim to develop a disciplines and constructive control environment, in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The audit committee of the Company oversees how the management complies in monitoring the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The internal audit sector of the Company reviews the risk management controls and procedure on scheduled and non-scheduled basis, and reports the results to the audit committee.
(iii) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers.
1) Accounts receivable
Every single client affects the credit risk exposure of the Company, but still, the management should consider the status of its clients, including the industry the client belongs to and the default risk of the country where the client is located. Because the transaction of the Company is not concentrated in one single client for 2019 and 2018, therefore, there is no concentration on credit risk for accounts receivable.
To minimize the risk of accounts receivable, the Company established a risk management procedure relating to the financial condition of the client, credit risk rating, historical transactions inside the Company, and the current economic situation that may affect the clients’ ability to pay up the bills. The Company also uses some credit-improved tools such as prepayments and credit insurance in order to reduce specific client’s credit risk.
2) Financial investments
The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits, fix income investments and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the Company’s finance department. As the Company deals with the banks and other external parties with good credit standing and financial institutions, corporate organization and government agencies which are graded above investment level, the management believes that the Company does not have any compliance issues, and therefore, there is no significant credit risk.
3) Guarantee
The Company only provide guarantee to wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company did not provide guarantee to any third party as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

(iv) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’ s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The Company estimates the cost of products and services based on accounting policy in order to assist in monitoring its cash flow requirements and optimizing its cash return on investments. Generally, the Company ensures that there is sufficient cash to cover expected operating expenditure demand, but excluding potential influence under unexpected extremely condition (i.e. nature disaster). In addition, the total amount of unused credit term as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $3,458,745 thousand and 4,094,379 thousand respectively.
(v) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that comes from changes in market prices such as changes of foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, impacting the Company’s income or the value of financial instruments held by the Company. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable range and optimize the return on investments.
The Company buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the board of directors.
1) Exchange rate risk
The Company’s exposure to currency risk is on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Company, primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (NTD). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in NTD, USD, VND and CNY.
At any point of time, the Company’s principle is to regularly hedge using the net value after offsetting assets and liabilities. The choice of hedging exchange rate risk instruments is based on the cost and the period of hedging. The Company mainly hedges its currency risk using the foreign exchange contracts.
2) Interest rate risk
All of the Company’s assets and liabilities bear floating interest rates, and thus suffer from cash flow interest rate risk exposure. The detail of floating interest rates of the Company’s assets and liabilities are described in note of liquidity risk management.

7.6 Analysis of Risk Management
- Impact of interest rate, exchange rate fluctuation and inflation condition on the profit/loss of the company and future countermeasures:
(1) Interest rates:
The working capital of the consolidated company mainly comes from the operating cash income and the amount gained from the bank loan. Assuming that the short term outstanding loan balance was NT$ 1.572 billion at the end of 2019, if the interest rate is increased or decreed by 1%, then under the condition where all other variables remain unchanged, it will cause an increase or decrease of interest expense at an amount of approximately NT$ 1.829 million for the Company.
Future countermeasures:
In addition to the improvement in the product development, the consolidated company also executes business expansion and cost control in order to increase the profitability and the own fund such that the loan amount can be reduced and the interest expense be further decreased. Moreover, to reduce the risk of interest rate, the bank loan interest rate is evaluated regularly or irregularly. The company also actively negotiates with banks in order to obtain financing interest rate of greater discount; therefore, the interest rate fluctuations cannot cause major risk to the Company.
-239-
(2) Regarding the exchange rate fluctuation:
