Formosa Taffeta Company Limited 2017 Annual Business Report
1.2017 Business Performance
The Company's consolidated revenue increased by 2.1% (US$28.7 million from US$1,335.1 million of 2016) to US$1,363.8 million in 2017; consolidated pre-tax profit rose by 17.9% (US$26.9 million from US$149.9 million of 2016) to US$176.8 million.
2.2017 Business Status
The business of 2017 had been influenced by the global financial environment. The main attributor was a loose monetary policy that rendered new high of capital-market indices of stocks, futures, and bonds, which in turn resulted in the rise of prices of raw materials and oil. However, the increased costs of materials and pays were not easy to be passed on to downstream customers because of their acute competition while growth of the power of private consumption remained lower than expectation.
After inventory adjustment during chilly winter in late 2017, sportswear, fashion wear, and functional apparel branded customers in Europe and the U.S. are expected to resume a new round of procurement in 2018. Given expected upturn in consumption in North America thanks to the effect of the "America first" policy of "Trump economics" stimulating growth and strengthening greenback, it is of high opportunity for the Company to achieve the 2018 business target.
3.2017 Business Plan and Outlook
Business plans and outlooks for the seven major products in 2018 are as follows:
(1) Filament woven and dyed fabrics:
With gradual upturn of global economy in 2017 stimulating
~ 4 ~
apparel consumption and driving down inventories at terminal markets, momentum for procurement was resumed from the second quarter. In view of rising online sales, branded venders will integrate physical and virtual channels, stepping up cooperation with e- commerce operators, which may bring more orders placed by the branded customers in 2018. End markets for the Company's filament woven fabrics consist of four major items: outdoor-performance clothes, sportswear, casual clothes, and umbrellas. With cross-field development of fashion wear and sportswear having become a current among international brands, the Company will raise the proportion of high niche and environment-friendly products, such as lightweight micro-diner textiles, spandex, environment-friendly materials, breathable waterproof laminated/coated textiles, etc., with differentiated features and tap the business of emerging potential branded customers by meeting their custom needs. Meanwhile, the Company will continue bettering its processes, eliminating failure cost, conserving energy, and introducing standard operating procedure (SOP), so as to enhance production management and quality control and further boost product competiveness.
In marketing filament woven textiles, the R&D unit will team up with marketing team in planning and designing latest fabric portfolio to make the Company in the driving seat of fashion products. In management, to take advantage of local supply and regional preferential tariffs, the Company integrates respective advantages of its five plants in Taiwan, China, and Vietnam in determining the adjustment of product mix and increases sales volume of compound functional spandex and moisture-permeable waterproof fabric so as to augment synergy.
In 2018, growth of global textile consumption is expected to be higher than that of 2017, boosting orders from branded customers. In
~ 5 ~
addition, the Company will endeavor seeking new customers, intensifying strategic partnership with various branded ones, and expanding alliance with their designated apparel suppliers, and thereby growth of sales in 2018 is about to get better.
(2) Tyre cord fabric:
Operation scale of the Taiwanese plant has shrunk in recent years on loss of some orders for cord fabric with common specifications or transfer of production to the Vietnamese plants, due to a number of adverse factors, including higher tariffs, capacity expansion by peers, price competition, and overcapacity in Asia. Output of the Vietnamese plants focuses on bulk coarse diner textiles, mainly for shipment to Vietnamese domestic market, ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), Korea, and China. Moreover, sales in Indian market have declined because of decreased demand for bias-ply truck and bus tires as a result of sales of Chinamade budget whole-steel-tread ones and doubled tariff to 20% for Taiwanese imported merchandises since Oct. 2017.
In 2018, thanks to completion of second-phase capacity reaching 12,000 tons a year, the Vietnamese plants will be able to pluralize and flexibly adjust its product mix because of expanded economic scale; thereby boosting its product competitiveness and accepting orders of budget products that are unfavorable to the competitiveness of the Taiwanese Plant. The Taiwanese Plant will have to step up effort soliciting business from the world's top 30 branded tire plants, strengthen its product mix, and raise the proportion of that mix of sales of differentiated products. Profits in 2018 are expected to be higher than that in 2017.
(3) Gas stations:
As of the end of 2017, Formosa Petroleum Station (FPS) had had
~ 6 ~
105 gas stations, making it the fifth largest gas-station brand in Taiwan. With international oil prices remaining stable, thanks to output reduction agreement among oil-producing countries, revenue grew in 2017. FPS has been able to maintain steady profits in recent years thanks to overall examinations on business performance, the station location and the lease term of respective station for years and the policy of removing inferior stations. With such mechanism, what FPS has to intensify is flexible control of the oil-tank storage level for fluctuation in global prices in recent three years. The number of gas stations with self-service filling has been increased to 91 and will gradually go up as long as benefits of expansion can be justified. Moreover, FPS has been working on gaining new contract customers, whose bills are settled once a month, such as enterprises and operators of agricultural machines and engineering machines, among others. To meet customers' plural needs, it also engages in car washing service via patented carwashing machines and sells leisure and daily-life products, auto accessories, and other auto goods through B2C channels. Furthermore, it has been continuously pushing personnel training for SOP, 5S, and TPM to strengthen quality services and standardized management, on top of tapping the markets of electronic products, auto-security inspection, and products for auto detailing and maintenance. In 2018, the volume of oil filling is expected to score slight growth and revenue will fluctuate according to the international oil prices, but such fluctuation is expected to be not too choppy.
(4) Cotton yarn:
In 2017, impact of the dumping of imported yarn with regular specifications on its channels in turn caused peers’ price competition at channels of functional yarn, whereas performance of branded channels can be well maintained, for instance, sales of thermal clothing at 7-11 convenience stores and sales of bamboo charcoal fiber, organic natural cotton fiber, silver fiver and PET bottle recycle
~ 7 ~
fiber at branded and other channels.
In 2018, sales of cotton yarn are expected to score small-scale growth, thanks in part to the addition of new products, such as new (functional) staple, sb-free polyester staple, and second-generation silver fiber, the installation of new equipment for production of slub yarn and core yarn, and sales of custom-made products for branded customers.
(5) Special textiles:
In 2017, sales of DuPont’s flame retardant fabric on an OEM basis declined due to price competition. With DuPont’s high tenacity fabric, a tender for bullet-proof helmets in Indonesia is ongoing. Tank crew suits and anti-stab/slash vests are sold respectively to the domestic market and China. Through cooperation of DuPont, flame retardant fabric is sold to the international firefighter suits market, and the domestic markets for suits of servicemen, policemen, firefighters; repair/maintenance workers of Taiwan Power Company are further tapped; extended applications include flame retardant Camouflage print tank crew suits with 100% DuPont flame retardant fabric, antiarc suits hazard risk category level 4 (HRC4), and low-end firefighter suits. For anti-static fabric, it is variously applied to car painting coveralls, food industry coveralls, nurse uniforms, and dyeable antistatic carbon fiber.
Sales of special textiles will grow further in 2018, with the ongoing development of new materials, such as flame retardant 、 、 blending NIR camouflage printing PTFE lamination stretch.
(6) Carbon-fiber composite material:
Major products in this category include 3k and 12k carbon-fiber fabric, 12k reinforcement material, 12k/24k one-way prepreg, 3k twoway prepreg, and carbon-fiber board, mainly for supply to domestic
~ 8 ~
bicycle part manufacturers, sports goods manufacturers, construction reinforcement industry, and 3C manufacturers.
In 2018, the Company will step up effort attending open biddings to supply reinforcement materials to public engineering projects and seeking orders for reinforced materials from Formosa Plastics Group for chemical tank reinforcement orders; use one-way carbon-fiber fabric to develop high impact resistance prepreg; tap high value-added bike market and push end markets of high temperature (250℃) and low temperature prepreg; extend multi-layer carbon-fiber fabric business to markets of yachts, vessels, and windpower blades; develop end markets of robotic-arm and autoaccessories with spread tow fabric; develop the footwear-materials market for carbon-fiber boards and application of thermosetting /thermoplastic carbon-fiber boards in 3Cs. Sales for 2018 are expected to grow.
(7) Plastic bags:
Sales of plastic bags declined in 2017, due to strike of employees of Chile customs and tariff hike of Bolivia, but orders from original customers have gradually expanded in 2018.
In line with restriction the use of plastic bags of governments of many worldwide nations, biodegradable plastic bags and functional plastic films are planned to be developed to tap substitution markets. In 2018, profits are expected to increase phenomenally.
4.Conclusion
In 2018, the general business environment is more difficult and challenging, due to weak U.S. dollar, price hike of raw materials and pays, oil-price hike, and price competition among peers. The Company will push various improvement programs, invest in new capacities and technologies, and flexibly adjust division of labor, including global marketing and specialization of production, among the five plants in Taiwan, China and Vietnam, focusing especially on elimination of failure cost, doing things

right at the first time, and quest for high added value of products, consistency of standards, brand sophistication, and creation and expansion of synergy. In the year, the Company will attain performance target overcoming various challenges, attain mutual benefits and prosperity with supply-chain partners, and achieve the dual goals of sustainable customer relationship and fulfillment of social responsibility, thereby realizing the vision of continuous growth of investment returns for shareholders.

Independent Auditor’s Report (Consolidated Financial Statements)
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Formosa Taffeta Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Formosa Taffeta Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017 and 2016, 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. Based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, 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 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.
Valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts
Description
Please refer to Note 4(10) for accounting policy on impairment of financial assets, Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to accounts receivable valuation, and Note 6(4) for details of allowance for uncollectible accounts. As of December 31, 2017, the Group’s accounts receivable and allowance for uncollectible accounts amounted to NT$3,644,252 thousand and NT$76,521 thousand, respectively.
The Group assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable based on historical experience, known reason or existing objective evidence. For those accounts which are considered uncollectible, the Group recognizes impairment with a credit to accounts receivable. The Group examines the reasonableness periodically. As the estimation of allowance for uncollectible accounts is subject to management’s judgement, and given the significance of accounts receivable and allowance for uncollectible accounts to the financial statements, we consider the valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts a key audit matter.
~ 66 ~
How our audit addressed the matter
Our procedures in relation to management’s assessment of the allowance for uncollectible accounts includes:
-
A. Assessing the reasonableness of policies and procedures in determining the allowance for uncollectible accounts, including the reasonableness of classification of customer’s credit quality and aging analysis;
-
B. Assessing whether the provision policy on allowance for uncollectible accounts has been consistently applied in the comparative periods of financial statements;
-
C. Assessing the adequacy of allowance for uncollectible accounts estimated by management; and
-
D. Testing collections after balance sheet date to check the adequacy of allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Valuation of inventory
Description
Please 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 description of allowance for inventory valuation loss. As of December 31, 2017, the Group’s inventory and allowance for market value decline and obsolete and slow-moving inventories amounted to NT$8,972,787 thousand and NT$520,734 thousand, respectively.
The Group is primarily engaged in fiber dyeing and finishing, manufacturing and sales of curtains. As the textile manufacturing market is competitive, there is higher risk of incurring loss on inventory valuation. The Group recognizes inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and the net realizable value is calculated based on the average price less estimated selling expenses. Since the calculation of net realizable value involves subjective judgement and uncertainty and the inventory is material to the financial statements, we consider the valuation of inventory a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our procedures in relation to management’s assessment of the allowance for inventory valuation loss includes:
-
A. Assessing the reasonableness of policies and procedures on allowance for inventory valuation loss, including the reasonableness of classification of inventory in determining the net realizable value;
-
B. Understanding the inventory management procedures, examining and participating in annual physical count and assessing the effectiveness of inventory management and inventory classification determined by management; and
-
C. Checking the method in calculating the net realizable value of inventory and assessing the reasonableness of allowance for valuation loss.
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 using equity method) of NT$10,614,122 thousand and NT$10,782,491, constituting 11% and 12% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and operating income of NT$5,125,079 thousand and NT$4,876,098, constituting 13% and 12% of consolidated total operating income for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants whose report thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the accounts included in the financial statements relative to these subsidiary and investees, is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.
~ 67 ~
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Formosa Taffeta Co., Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including members of the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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:
-
A. 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.
-
B. 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.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. 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.
~ 68 ~
-
E. 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.
-
F. 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.
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.
