Business Report

Shareholders' trust and support to the Company and management team are highly appreciated in 2019, the US-China trade continued to affect the prosperity of the mainland region. Since mainland China is an important production and sales region of the Company, so the trade resulted in a decline in overall revenue compared with the previous year. However, benefiting from factors such as raw material prices, internal management optimization and other factors, the overall profit has grown significantly this year.

The year 2020 is still a challenging year. Although the US-China trade reached an agreement stage and Brexit ended, the international political and economic uncertainties have subsided slightly. But the COVID-19 pandemic broke out after the beginning of the year. As Taiwan and the mainland China have built a close relationship for a long time, the investment relations, industrial settlements, supply chains and trade exchanges will affect the cross-strait economy. In this regard, the Company will use its advantage to deploy existing production capacity in Taiwan, Europe, America, and Southeast Asia, continue stable production activities and market development, and seek growth opportunities amidst changes. The new ERP system has successfully completed the first phase of the launch in early 2020, and will be more able to meet the Group's globalization and growth goals and provide energy for management.

In addition, the Company will continue to uphold the corporate culture of law-abiding, trustworthy and ethical, attach importance to public security and environmental protection and fulfill its social responsibilities, and continue to contribute to ESG (environmental, social responsibility, corporate governance) to achieve sustainable management, and create value for shareholders, stakeholders and the public .

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Eternal Materials Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Eternal Materials Co., Ltd. (the Company), which comprise the standalone balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the standalone statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter paragraph) the accompanying standalone financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the standalone financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its standalone financial performance and its standalone cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China on February 25, 2020, and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. We conducted our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

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

Key audit matters of the Company’s standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:

15

Revenue Recognition

1. Description

Due to the industrial and economic downturn, the Company’s sales revenue decreased compared to the previous year. However, sales revenue from the high performance materials department not only did not decrease significantly, the gross profit margin increased substantially. Thus, the main risk of revenue recognition of Eternal Materials Co., Ltd and its subsidiaries is whether the sale revenue from the high performance materials department actually occurred. Therefore, revenue recognition from the high performance materials department is deemed as a key audit matter.

  1. The audit procedures we performed in response to the above key audit matter are the following:

  2. a. We understood the internal controls on revenue recognition of high performance materials department and tested their effectiveness; the internal controls cover the customer master file, ordering, shipping, accounting and receiving process.

  3. b. We obtained the customer master file data for major customers and verified the data for the registered responsible person, business category, and business address etc. using publicly available information, and we evaluated the reasonableness of credit limit relative to the company size.

  4. c. We evaluated the reasonableness of sales revenue, gross profit rate and transaction terms of major customers.

  5. d. We selected appropriate samples from the sales revenue receipts of the high performance materials department, examined the payment and goods delivery receipts, and verified that the payment receiver is the same as the transaction counterparty.

  6. e. We examined material subsequent events with respect to sales returns to verify that the sales transactions occurred before the balance sheet date.

Other Matter

The financial statements of some associates accounted for using the equity method were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion on the amounts and disclosures of such investments included in the accompanying financial statements were based on the financial statements audited by other auditors. Such investments accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$764,646 thousand and NT$713,896 thousand, both representing 2% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the share of the profit of associates amounted to NT$204,589 thousand and NT$190,077 thousand, representing 13% and 20% of the Company’s total comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of standalone financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

16

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

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

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

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

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

  4. 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 standalone 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.

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

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

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

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

17

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Lee-Yuan Kuo and Chun-Chi Kung.

(the Company) and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter paragraph) the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No.1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China on February 25, 2020, and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements 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 matters of the Company and its subsidiaries’ consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:

25

Revenue Recognition

1. Description

Due to the industrial and economic downturn, sales revenue of Eternal Materials Co., Ltd and its subsidiaries decreased compared to the previous year. However, sales revenue from the high performance materials department not only did not decrease significantly, the gross profit margin increased substantially. Thus, the main risk of revenue recognition of Eternal Materials Co., Ltd and its subsidiaries is whether the sale revenue from the high performance materials department actually occurred. Therefore, revenue recognition from the high performance materials department is deemed as a key audit matter.

  1. The audit procedures we performed in response to the above key audit matter are the following:

  2. a. We understood the internal controls on revenue recognition of high performance materials department and tested their effectiveness; the internal controls over the customer master file, ordering, shipping, accounting and receiving process.

  3. b. We obtained the major customer master file data for major customers and verified the data for the registered responsible person, business category, and business address etc. using publicly available information, and evaluated the reasonableness of credit limit relative to the company size.

  4. c. We evaluated the reasonableness of sales revenue, gross profit rate and transaction terms of major customers.

  5. d. We selected appropriate samples from the sales revenue receipts of the high performance materials department, examined the payment and goods delivery receipts, and verified that the payment receiver is the same as the transaction counterparty.

  6. e. We examined material subsequent events with respect to sales returns to verify that the sales transactions occurred before the balance sheet date.

Other Matter

The financial statements of some associates accounted for using the equity method were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion on the amounts and disclosures of such investments included in the accompanying financial statements were based on the financial statements audited by other auditors. Such investments accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$1,309,271 thousand and NT$1,229,360 thousand, both representing 2% of the Company and its subsidiaries’ total assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively; and the share of the profit of these associates amounted to NT$254,845 thousand and NT$214,645 thousand, representing 17% and 24% of the Company and its subsidiaries’ total comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

We have also audited the standalone financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

26

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company and its subsidiaries’ 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 and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company and its subsidiaries’ 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 Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

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

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

27

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 auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Lee-Yuan Kuo and Chun-Chi Kung.
