FORMOSA CHEMICALS & FIBRE CORPORATION 2019 Annual Report
1. 2019 Business Report:
The consolidated revenue in 2019 was NT$315.5 billion, a decline of NT$83.5 billion or 20.9% from NT$399 billion in 2018. A primary reason for the reduced revenue, the sales reduced by NT$33.5 billion, is the relatively more annual repairs taking place in production facilities and the accident at the third aromatic hydrocarbon plant. The selling price variance took a slide with NT$50 billion short resulted from the impacts by the trade friction between China and the US on the market for petrochemical raw materials and the additional production lines for petrochemicals got into production in China as well as the increasingly conservative competition on the market. In terms of profit, the consolidated profit before tax was NT$37.1 billion in 2019, a decline of NT$24.9 billion or 40.1% from NT$62 billion in 2018. Besides the abnormality encountered in the third aromatic hydrocarbon plant, the impacts were not only mainly from the trade friction between China and the US as mentioned above and the commissioning of the new production lines but also markets were thickly on the lookout, and prices of petrochemical products dropped significantly into the margin was far greater than that with the oil price and it led to the reduction in business profits.
The international economic situation was unpredictable in 2019. Geopolitical conflicts followed one another in the Middle East and the incessant disputes between China and the US in trade, among other factors, have undermined the growths in global economy and trade. In the first half of the year, the demand on the market for petrochemical products continued with the growing streak from 2018 and was growing steadily. In addition, the Company is known for its one-stop production system that covers the upstream, midstream, and downstream, with the competitive advantage of low cost, and we continue to promote product transformation and optimization of production and distribution towards market segmentation and product differentiation. Sales of petrochemical and plastic products went well. Petrochemical product prices were scaled up that benefited by the rise
5
in the price of crude oil, thus the revenue and profits of the Company in the first half of the year were both stable.
In the second half of the year, however, trade protectionism took prominence in the US. Tariff protective measures against products imported from Mainland China were imposed in different phases. In response, Mainland China introduced protective means on the market, too. The trade friction between Mainland China and the US gradually spread to impact the global economy and seriously undermine the globalization inter-dependent production and manufacturing system to significantly impact the foreign trade-oriented economy in Taiwan, particularly the petrochemical industry that targets mainly the market in Mainland China. Meanwhile, under the slow growth of the global economy, therefore, the internal demand in Mainland China also appeared to be sluggish, the prices of petrochemical products plummeted as oil price slid quickly, and downstream customers were waiting and seeing and appeared to be conservative. The Company's margin profit also started to slide as selling prices of products continued to fall in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the supply and demand was imbalanced in terms of production and distribution on the market, due to the new built petrochemical production lines were commissioned in Mainland China, thereafter, the downstream companies purchased tenably volume to operate on low inventories, and there were sales on the market prices were not pretty. The Company was under the stress of pass-through of production costs that resulted in profitability turned weak, and the Company had to deal with major challenges in its operation. Although the Company continued to live up to its belief in circular economy by investing in research and development of innovative low-emission production technique-oriented energy-saving operation to try to reduce the cost and enhancing product sales service, the revenue and profitability remained quite harsh.
As for the consolidated revenue in 2019, the parent company's net revenue was NT$151.6 billion, accounting for 48% of the consolidated revenue. Subsidiaries that contributed to the revenue included Formosa Industries Corporation in Ningbo, Formosa Industries Corporation in
6
Vietnam, and Formosa Taffeta Co., Ltd., totaling NT$163.9 billion, accounting for 52% of the consolidated revenue. It was the first time that these invested companies since their establishment had combined revenue greater than that of the parent company. Main contributors to the parent company's revenue are petrochemical and plastic products. Both combined had a net worth of NT$137.9 billion, accounting for 91% of the parent company's revenue. Among them, petrochemical products totaled NT$85.3 billion or 56.3% and plastic products NT$52.6 billion or 34.7% respectively.
Respective major products were operated in 2019 primarily to ensure total throughput and production under the premise of production safety and water and energy conservation as well as reduced consumption and emissions, among other improvements in circular economy, continued to be promoted. Meanwhile, AI smart production based on big data was greatly promoted to hopefully further realize steady production and reduce the cost.
For aromatic hydrocarbon, SM, and phenol, the first aromatic hydrocarbon plant, the SM plant in Haifong site, and the synthetic phenol plant completed multiple water and energy conservation improvements taking advantage of the annual inspection to effectively reduce energy consumption and enhance production efficiency. The abnormal equipment in the third aromatic hydrocarbon plant has been repaired and multiple energy saving and carbon reduction equipment improvements were completed at the same time to significantly bring down the consumption of steam. In 2020, after that the new built petrochemical production lines are commissioned in Hengli Group and Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. in Mainland China, the increase in the supply will further exacerbate the competition. Faced with challenges brought about by the new situation, the Company's petrochemical plant will continue to optimize the process and promote application of big data in AI process management to accordingly enhance production performance in response to the drastic changes on the market.
In terms of PTA and PIA, as production lines are added and commissioned in Mainland China, the supply has increased and selling prices of products took a slide. Despite the construction of new production lines to
7
be commissioned continued for downstream polyester in 2019, the stress brought about by supply surplus on the market could not be covered; profitability bore the brunt. The PTA plant of the Company in Ningbo, with its optimal quality and steady lead time, has been trusted by customers. In addition, the processing cost has been significantly reduced following process transformation in 2018. The operating stress appeared to be not as intense as that in Taiwan facilities. In 2020, the PTA and PIA plants in Taiwan will first satisfy the needs on the domestic market. For exports, besides Formosa Industries Corporation in Vietnam, more markets outside Mainland China will be explored. The utilization rate will be adjusted reflective of changing market intelligence in order to improve the sales. Meanwhile, processes in Taiwan facilities will continue to be optimized to bring down the processing cost.
As far as plastic products are concerned, the globe economic growth slowed down and oil prices fell in 2019; raw materials and plastic pellets had undesirable outlooks. Downstream customers were mainly rigid demandoriented. Demand on the market was sluggish. The Company took advantage of the low inventories kept by downstream customers and phased inventory replenishments with orders placed by making efforts to expand sales. As a result, the sales of plastic pellets in 2019 grew by 1.5% compared to those in 2018. Looking into 2020, faced with the speedy expansion of plastic product throughput in Mainland China, the Company will increase the development of high-value and differentiated products by creating market segmentation and exploring areas outside Mainland China in response. The ratio of sales of PS special grade pellets in 2019 already reached 43.8% and will further rise to 45.6% in 2020. In terms of ABS products, the ratio of sales of ABS special grade pellets from Taiwan facilities throughout 2019 was 31.5% and the goal is to enhance it to 32.2% in 2020 where high-value special products will be prioritized. The sales of special grade pellets from the PABS plant in Ningbo, Mainland China accounted for 26.5% in 2019. As business operation staff and technicians continue to promote application of the products, the sales will be smooth and are likely to continue with the growing streak. The goal is
8
to enhance the ratio of sales to 28.1%.
In reference to PP products, the ratio of sales of special products in 2019 already reached 51.5%. To further maximize the market share, the goal is to have the product sales to grow by 10%. High-quality and high unit-price medical device materials and development towards high liquidity and light weight will continue to be promoted in order to enhance the value added of the products. As far as the PC products are concerned, the sales of special products accounted for 24% in 2019 and the profitability accounted for 68%; profitability was optimal. In 2020, the Company will continue with the highvalue strategy for the PC sector to proactively diversify the market, to extend the optimal reputation of the Company on the market, and to proactively go with the customers demand for production and distribution. The goal is to have a growth of 30% in the sales of special products.
As far as textiles and fiber products are concerned, impacted by undesirable factors, such as the price cut competition in the exportation of textile products from Mainland China and the imbalance between supply and demand, among others, Taiwan facilities and the overseas re-investment Formosa Industries Corporation in Vietnam saw reduced sales of yarn and rayon fibers. In order to enhance profitability, the production ratio of green textile and fiber products will be increased. The niche market for recycled environmentally friendly filament and color filament, among other differentiated products, will be developed. Combining the brand channel along with the production demand of customers in the downstream and the fashionable trend on the market, the production and distribution plan and production model are adequately adjusted to form a marketing system where the upstream, midstream, and downstream are integrated.
In terms of sustainable operation, the Company has been emphasizing co-existence and co-prosperity between environmental protection and social development. Besides the continued adoption of the best available control technology (BACT) that is improving each year in terms of pollution prevention equipment, the Company was the first in the country to realize clean emissions and elimination of white smoke generated by its co-
9
generation units. The emission quality is already comparable to that of a natural gas unit. Meanwhile, there is the real-time bulletin board set up outside each plant to facilitate supervision by residents in the neighborhood. In addition, in honor of the belief in circular economy, energy conservation and emission reduction were promoted to reduce carbon emissions and to make utilization of water resource sustainable, fulfilling the Company's corporate social responsibilities. In 2019, the AI technology was introduced to enhance energy conservation improvement efficiency. By 2019, the Company had invested accumulatively up to NT$12.2 billion in the promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction; 4,914 projects on improvements were completed, saving a total of 94,200 tons per day of water in total and steam of 1,006 tons per hour, electricity of 117 MWH; the benefits combined totaled NT$10.5 billion. In 2019, the PTA plant in Longde site received the Gold Medal of the ‘Energy-saving Signature Award’ from the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs. The SM facility in Haifong site was awarded by the ‘Water Resources Agency’, Ministry of Economic Affairs for outstanding water conservation performance in the industrial division.
In light of the fact that the abnormalities having occurred at the third aromatic hydrocarbon plant in April 2019 were caused by undesirable equipment maintenance performance. Therefore, in August, the Company established its Sustainable Safety Mechanism Group to not only take charge of promoting environmental protection but also explore at depth blind spots in industry safety management and eliminate potential industrial safety risks. The improvement projects involving staff, equipment, and environmental safety as promoted in 2019 will be continued in 2020 to further fulfill the goal of safe production. In order to enhance reliability of equipment, the Company also collaborated with NACE anti-corrosion experts in creating the corrosion prevention mechanism. Meanwhile, releasing best examples of periodic PHA, JSA/SOP, MOC, and false alarm accidents and consolidating educational training for contractors and employees, among others, were the highlights.
10
For sustainable corporate operation, besides sound production equipment and safe production planning as well as optimal operational performance, the most important is to continue expanding investments. The new 200-thousand-ton PIA and the expansion of the existing phenol plant from an annual production of 300 thousand tons to 400 thousand tons were started in Ningbo, China in 2019. In addition, the plastics department expanded three composite plants across the Taiwan Strait increases the annual production to 132 thousand tons. All of these new investments will be completed in 2020. Meanwhile, in 2020, the investment in the ABS plant in Ningbo, China to add 250 thousand tons of production and the PTA plant to add 1.5 million tons of products will be started at the same time in 2020. All the equipment upon establishment features the latest and further refined production technologies that are currently available. The hope is that the newly built PTA, PIA, Phenol, and ABS plants are unparalleled in the industry in terms of production performance, quality, and production safety. The petrochemical plant in Louisiana, USA, a joint venture with Formosa Petrochemical Corporation, was already approved during environmental impact assessment in the beginning of 2020 and construction will be initiated in full force. Hopefully, they can further strengthen the Company's operation once completed.
2. Operating Status:
The consolidated operating revenue was NT$315.49 billion in 2019, a decrease of NT$83.58 billion than NT$399.07 billion in 2018. Deducted operating costs NT$283.44 billion and selling expenses and administrative expenses NT$15.56 billion, the operating income was NT$16.49 billion in 2019 with an 5.2% of operating margin which declined NT$20.29 billion compared with NT$36.78 billion in 2018. Added up non-operating income and expenses NT$ 20.62 billion, the pre-tax income of 2019 was NT$37.11 billion, which declined NT$24.86 billion with a decrease of 40.1% compared with NT$61.97 billion in 2018.
11
3. 2020 Business Performance Target and Outlook:
Looking into 2020, the Company still needs to deal with the operation dilemma. Besides the gradually and steadily commissioned new petrochemical production lines in Mainland China to result in comprehensively more supply than demand, the spread of the novel COVID19 in January seriously impacted the market order in the first half of the year. In addition, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership that will be signed this year will add to the unfair treatment Taiwan faces in more international free trade tariffs; Taiwan's industries will be in an inferior position while competing with its counterparts. The China-US trade conflicts yet to remit, the unpromising short-term prospects of the global macroeconomics, the slowing economic growths in major countries in Europe and America, and the persistent harsh challenges facing the plastics and chemical industries, on the other hand, have given the Company no choice but cope with the changes on the market seriously. The Company will continue to live up to its belief in circular economy by reducing the production cost and increasing investments in developing high-value, differentiated, and green products on the niche market. Under the premise of safe production, quality of products made better, processes more stable and production efficiency higher. The sales service quality is reinforced and so are the quality and quantity of high-value products in order to decentralize the market and to avoid price competition on the market. Meanwhile, the Company proactively promotes AI smart production and maximizes the application of artificial intelligence in process improvement and equipment safety forecast and diagnosis. Efforts are continued in the development of new AI applications and enhancing process integration and process management efficiency.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR19000297 To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corporation
Introduction
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). 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 Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the 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 for our opinion.
39
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters
Assessment of loss allowance for accounts receivable
Description
Refer to Note 4(10) for accounting policy on accounts receivable, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to impairment of accounts receivable, and Note 6(4) for details of loss allowance for accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019, the Group’s accounts receivable amounted to NT$21,188,124 thousand, net of loss allowance in the amount of NT$284,724 thousand.
The Group assessed expected credit impairment loss on accounts receivable based on historical experience, forward-looking information and known reason or existing objective evidences. For those accounts which are considered uncollectible, the Company recognised impairment with a credit to accounts receivable. Management evaluates the reasonableness of estimated provision periodically. As the estimation of loss allowance is subject to management’s judgement and business indicators, the amount of provision is based on the collectability of accounts receivable, and considering that accounts receivable and loss allowance are material to the financial statements, we consider the loss allowance for accounts receivable a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
Obtained the overdue aging report used when management assessed the expected credit impairment loss, assessed whether the logic of data source was consistently applied, and tested its accuracy with proper documents.
-
Assessed the reasonableness of estimates used by management in calculating expected credit impairment loss and obtained supporting documents, including forward-looking information, disputed accounts, overdue accounts, subsequent collection, and other indications that would show the customer would be unable to repay on schedule.
40
- Performed subsequent collection test in order to verify the adequacy of loss allowance provided for accounts receivable.
Evaluation of inventories
Description
Refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policy on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation, and Note 6(5) for detailed information on allowance for inventory valuation losses. As of December 31, 2019, the inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses were NT$43,048,548 thousand and NT$1,779,284 thousand, respectively.
The Group is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sales of petrochemical plastic products, fibers weaving and cords. As the price of petrochemical plastic products is subject to the fluctuations in international crude oil price, and the textile market is competitive, there is a higher risk for inventory valuation loss. The Group recognises inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value, and the net realisable value is calculated based on average price less selling expenses. Since the net realisable value used in inventory valuation involves subjective judgement and high uncertainty in estimation, and the allowance for inventory valuation losses is material to the financial statements, we considered the allowance for inventory valuation losses as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
Assessed the reasonableness of policies and procedures on allowance for inventory valuation loss, including the reasonableness of classification of inventory in determining the net realisable value.
-
Understood the Group’s warehousing control procedures. Reviewed the annual physical inventory count plan and participated in the annual inventory count in order to assess the effectiveness of the classification of inventory and internal control over inventory.
-
Checked the method in calculating the net realisable value of inventory and assessed the reasonableness of allowance for valuation loss.
41
Other matter – audits of the other independent accountants
We did not audit the financial statements of a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary and certain investments accounted for under the equity method, which statements reflect total assets (including investments accounted for under equity method) of NT$151,374,296 thousand and NT$153,033,742 thousand, constituting 27% and 26% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, operating income of NT$32,963,852 thousand and NT$37,429,243 thousand, constituting 10% and 9% of consolidated total operating income for the years then ended, respectively, and comprehensive income of NT$8,097,645thousand and NT$12,222,715 thousand, constituting 35% and 31% of consolidated total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements relative to the subsidiary and investee companies, is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.
Other matter – parent company only financial statements
We have audited the parent company only financial statements of Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and have expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial statements.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
42
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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
43
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
44
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Assessment of loss allowance for accounts receivable
Description
Refer to Note 4(9) of parent company only financial statements for accounting policy on accounts receivable, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to impairment of accounts receivable, and Note 6(4) for details of loss allowance for accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s accounts receivable amounted to NT$18,475,337 thousand, net of loss allowance in the amount of NT$200,834 thousand.

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under the equity method. Investments accounted for under the equity method amounted to NT$116,967,421 thousand and NT$117,816,823 thousand, both constituting 25% of total assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
48
respectively and comprehensive income was NT$7,912,093 thousand and NT$12,678,194 thousand, constituting 35% and 38% of total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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 parent company only financial statements.
49
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
50
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 parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

It is advisable that shareholders’ meetings convened by the Board of Directors be chaired by the Chairman, that a majority of the Directors attend in person, and that at least one member of each functional committee attend as representative. Attendance details should be recorded in the Shareholders Meeting minutes. If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by a party having the convening right but other than the Board of Directors, the convening party shall chair the meeting. When there are two or more such convening parties, they shall mutually select a chair from among themselves.
The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders’ meeting in a non-voting capacity.
Article 8:[The Company, beginning from the time it accepts shareholder ]
67
attendance registrations, shall make an uninterrupted audio and video recording of the registration procedure, the proceedings of the shareholders’ meeting, and the voting and vote counting procedures.
The recorded materials of the preceding paragraph shall be retained for at least 1 year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
- Article 9:[Quorum at shareholders’ meetings shall be calculated based on ] numbers of shares. The quorum shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the sign-in cards handed in plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised in writing or by way of electronic transmission.
The Chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the Chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than 1 hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the Chair shall declare the meeting adjourned.
If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding paragraph, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 175 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders’ meeting shall be convened within 1 month.
When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the Chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders’ meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act.

-
Article 10:[If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, ] the meeting agenda shall be set by the Board of Directors. The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders’ meeting convened by a party having the convening right that is not the Board of Directors.
-
The Chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. If the Chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, the other members of the Board of Directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
-
The Chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the Chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the Chair may announce the discussion closed and call for a vote.
-
Article 11:[Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a ] speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the Chair. A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.
Except with the consent of the Chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech
69
may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the Chair may terminate the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the Chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the Chair shall stop any violation.
When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders’ meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal. After an attending shareholder has spoken, the Chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
Article 12:[Voting at a shareholders’ meeting shall be calculated based on ] the number of shares.
With respect to resolutions of shareholders’ meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Company, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
In case a director of the Company has created a pledge on the Company’s shares more than half of the Company’s shares being held by him/her/it at the time he/she/it is elected, the voting power of the excessive portion of shares shall not be exercised.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding two paragraphs shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a stock agency approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders,
70
the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3 percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of voting shares, otherwise, the portion of excessive voting rights shall not be counted.
- Article 13:[A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, ] except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed nonvoting shares under paragraph 2 of Article 179 of the Company Act.
When the Company holds a shareholders’ meeting, it may allow the shareholders to exercise voting rights in writing or by way of electronic transmission. When voting rights are exercised in writing or by way of electronic transmission, the method for exercising the voting rights shall be specified in the shareholders’ meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights in writing or by way of electronic transmission will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting.
A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights in writing or by way of electronic transmission under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company no later than 2 days prior to the scheduled shareholders’ meeting date. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest by the Company shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to revoke the earlier declaration of intention. After a shareholder has exercised voting rights in writing or by way of electronic transmission, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders’ meeting in person, a written declaration of intent to rescind the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to the Company, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, no later than 2 days prior to the scheduled shareholders’ meeting date. If the notice of rescission is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised in writing or by way of electronic transmission shall prevail. When
71
a shareholder has exercised voting rights both in writing or by way of electronic transmission and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders’ meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the adoption of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the Chair or a person designated by the Chair shall announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the Chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the Chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company. Vote counting for shareholders’ meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders’ meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.
- Article 14:[The election of directors at a shareholders’ meeting shall be held ] in accordance with the applicable election and appointment rules adopted by the Company, and the voting results shall be announced on-site immediately, including the names of those elected as directors and the numbers of votes with which they
72
were elected.
The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least 1 year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
-
Article 15:[Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders’ meeting ] shall be recorded in the meeting minutes.

The meeting minutes may be produced and distributed in electronic form.
-
The Company may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the MOPS.
-
The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the Chair's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their results, and shall be retained for the duration of the existence of the Company.
-
Article 16:[On the day of a shareholders’ meeting, the Company shall ] compile in the prescribed format a statistical statement of the number of shares obtained by solicitors through solicitation and the number of shares represented by proxies, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at the place of the shareholders’ meeting.
-
If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders’ meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under TWSE regulations, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.
Article 17:[Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders’ meeting ]
73
shall wear identification cards or arm bands.
The Chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to help maintain order at the meeting place. When proctors or security personnel help maintain order at the meeting place, they shall wear an identification card or armband bearing the word "Proctor."
At the place of a shareholders’ meeting, if a shareholder attempts to speak through any device other than the public address equipment set up by the Company, the Chair may prevent the shareholder from so doing.
-
When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the Chair's correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the Chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.
-
Article 18:[When a meeting is in progress, the Chair may announce a break ] based on time considerations. If a force majeure event occurs, the Chair may rule the meeting temporarily suspended and announce a time when, in view of the circumstances, the meeting will be resumed.
-
If the meeting venue is no longer available for continued use and not all of the items (including extraordinary motions) on the meeting agenda have been addressed, the shareholders’ meeting may adopt a resolution to resume the meeting at another venue. A resolution may be adopted at a shareholders’ meeting to postpone or resume the meeting within 5 days in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act.
-
Article 19:[These Rules and any amendments hereto, shall be implemented ] after adoption by shareholders’ meetings.
