VI. Research and development status

The Group's technology sources are mainly self-development and academic cooperation. The R&D center is responsible for new material development, formulation development, process technology research and patent research etc. The core value of the Group's products lies in the professional formula development, providing products exclusive to the group members, and carefully designing skin care products suitable for different skins types. Therefore, the raw materials used for each product are given special codes to prevent formula disclosure. The Group is a multinational beauty and body chain enterprise. The R&D center pays close attention to the development trend and direction of the beauty and body industry. Therefore, the product development and course service design keep pace with the times and continues to innovate. It is the first to apply for anti-pollution ingredient Exotic PHT trademark registration in 2017. Then it independently developed Caritas JD, a comprehensive whitening anti-aging material in 2018, and applied for trademark registrations in Mainland China, Republic of China and Malaysia, and further applied for multiple invention patents of Caritas JD to establish a solid foundation for research and development.

The R&D center is not limited to independent technology, but also looks into deeper academic scientific research. In 2016, it developed high-performance plant extract patent raw materials together with Japan Technoble Co., Ltd. and Pharmaceutical Research Institute of Japan Kindai University; in 2018, it signed a memorandum of cooperation with Providence University in the hope of implementing innovative R&D prowess at the application level through industry-university cooperation, and creating related products and services that meet the needs.

Accountant's Check Report and 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders JOURDENESS GROUP LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of JOURDENESS GROUP LIMITED and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and 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, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 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 of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits 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 Group 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, 2018. 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 for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:

  • Assessment of impairment of other intangible assets customer relationship and goodwill

11

Appendix IV

==> picture [71 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included customer relationship (classified as other intangible assets) of NT$858,110 thousand and goodwill of NT$520,514 thousand, totaling amount to NT$1,378,624 thousand, which represented 23% of total assets for the consolidated financial statements. The other intangible assets of customer relationship and goodwill both resulting from the acquisition of the assets and operations of beauty stores in China, Taiwan and Malaysia for expanding the cosmetology service and the Group’s operations. In accordance with IAS 36, “Impairment of Assets,” management assesses whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss at the balance sheet date. Determining whether those assets are impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which those assets has been allocated, and the assumptions were of high uncertainty since they are subject to management’s judgment and affected by economic trends. Therefore, it was identified as one of the key audit matters.

Please refer to Notes 4, 5, 14, 15 and 29 to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies, critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty, and details of the information about the impairment of intangible assets of customer relationships and goodwill.

The audit procedures we performed in response to the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. Understood and assessed the reasonableness of the identification of impairment of those assets by management.

  2. Evaluated the independent experts’ professional capacity, competence and independence engaged by the management.

  3. Understood the process and basis for the estimated growth rate and profit margin predicted with the future operating prospects of the cash-generating units to which those assets belong.

  4. Consulted our experts to assess the reasonableness and appropriateness of assumptions and methods used in the impairment test report provided by the independent experts.

Beauty and body spa course services revenue recognition

As of December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the contract liabilities - current was NT$2,247,520 thousand, which represented 54% of total liabilities for the consolidated financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the beauty and body spa course services revenue amounted to NT$1,820,165 thousand, which represented 59% of net revenue for the consolidated financial statements. The Group’s management recognized beauty and body spa course services revenue based on independent actuaries’ report. The assumptions of the actuarial analyses were made according to the Group’s historical service experience and the percentage of expected redemption rate of deferred courses was calculated as the number of courses actually rendered to customers to the number of courses expected to be rendered to customers, excluding the courses that had refund liability in effective period. Such underlying assumptions were subject to management’s objective judgment and estimates which are highly uncertain. Therefore, the recognition of the beauty and body spa course services revenue was identified as one of the key audit matters.

12

Appendix IV

==> picture [71 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

Please refer to Notes 4, 5, 20 and 24 to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies, critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty, and details of the information about the recognition of beauty and body spa course services revenue.

The audit procedures we performed in response to the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. Evaluated the professional qualifications, competency and independence of the independent actuary engaged by the management.

  2. Understood and tested the accuracy and completeness of the data which management used in actuarial analyses of the expected redemption rate of deferred courses.

  3. Compared the methodology and significant assumptions, including expected redemption rate and expected aggregate redemption rate of deferred courses, along with specific historical data in order to assess the reasonableness of management’s judgments.

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 Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements 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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, 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:

13

Appendix IV

==> picture [71 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

  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. 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.

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

  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 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 statements 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, 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation preludes 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.
