NAN YA PLASTICS CORPORATION

1.2018 Business Report

In 2018, Nan Ya Plastics Corporation (NPC) recorded a consolidated revenue of NT$333.06 billion, an increase of 8.8% over NT$306.14 billion in 2017, and a consolidated pre-tax income of NT$61.53 billion, which declined 2.0% compared with NT$62.78 billion in 2017.

In the first three quarters of 2018, global economic fundamentals were good, while raw material prices rose, driving the revenue growth of various products. Furthermore, NPC's complete industry chain and active development of high-value and differentiated products have also greatly increased our revenue and profit.

However, due to the China-U.S. trade war beginning the fourth quarter of 2018, global economic growth has declined, while oil prices have fallen by 40% from the high point at the beginning of October to the low point at the end of the year. As market demand froze rapidly, customers sat on the fence, dropping sales orders, our overall performance reflected a sharp downturn in the business environment.

Despite the significant change in the fourth quarter of 2018, NPC still managed to post a revenue at a record high, and achieve the third highest net income and earnings per share in our history, thanks to the foundation laid in the previous three quarters.

As far as NPC's scope of business is concerned, there are four major categories of products: plastic processing, petrochemicals, polyester, and electronic materials.

With regard to plastic processing products, NPC continues to engage in transformation due to increasingly mature processing technology in Mainland China and fierce price competition among local peers. Besides, NPC has incorporated automated monitoring to ensure stable quality during production. At the same time, NPC has accelerated the research and development of new applications, new materials, as well as products that meet the trend of environmental protection and unique specifications, in

6

order to expand into new niche markets, thereby increasing the proportion of sales and profit of differentiated and high-value products. NPC deploys our production and marketing operations at various plants in Taiwan, Mainland China, the U.S., and Vietnam in a timely manner according to the characteristics of each market, supplemented with the launch of e-commerce and online marketing, to expand into high-end markets such as the U.S. and Japan, as well as emerging markets with high potential, so as to provide customers with satisfactory services. Through various efforts made by NPC, plastic processing products are still able to provide stable profits.

In regards to petrochemical products, in line with vertical integration and division of labor in the Sixth Naphtha Cracking Plant in Mailiao, NPC's products, including ethylene glycol (EG), Bisehnol A (BPA), 1,4-butylene glycol (1,4BG), plasticizers, phthalic anhydride (PA), 2-ethylhexanol (2EH), and epoxy resin (EPOXY), have been vertically integrated with upstream and downstream industries, thereby forming a complete supply chain, which supports the development of downstream industries such as polyester, electronics, and plastic processing, respectively.

In the first three quarters of 2018, prices and volume of petrochemical products increased considerably due to rising international oil prices and market demand. However, oil prices fell sharply starting October. Besides, the China-U.S. trade war and economic slowdown in China led to a decrease in prices of petrochemical products. Yet, NPC continuously promoted the improvement of various process optimizations, and fully comprehended market developments so as to effectively regulate production, sales, and inventory. Besides, NPC also stepped up efforts to expand into sales regions outside Mainland China in order to actively diversify our target market. By adjusting our production and sales strategies, NPC recorded a higher revenue and profit in 2018 than those in 2017.

In terms of polyester products, their prices and volume increased considerably due to significant increase in market demand and rising raw

7

material costs in 2018, with polyester bottle chips showing the most obvious growth. Among differentiated and high-value products, polyester cotton and silk have achieved better performances. Shortage of passive components among downstream customers led to a considerable increase in demand for polyester release film products, thus demonstrating significant profit growth.

In the future, NPC will actively develop and promote products related to environmental protection, recycling and green energy, and collaborate with well-known brands to expand the application range of polyester products. In addition, NPC will also develop high-value products to segment the market and expand sales territory, while controlling product quality to enhance customers' recognition in order to open up new markets, so that sales will continue to increase, thereby maintaining stable profits.

Regarding electronic materials, various electronic product application devices continued to develop since the fourth quarter of 2016. Rising demand for electronic materials, along with a lag in the expansion of production capacity by manufacturers, has brought about a period of prosperity for this industry. With the gradual resumption of newly expanded production capacity in 2018, tensions in supply and demand began to slow down. In the first half of the year, market demand was stable; however, affected by the China-U.S. trade war in the fourth quarter of 2018, orders and demand for home appliances and other consumer electronics products dropped due to increasing market uncertainty, thus forcing end customers to reduce inventory and response to urgent orders, and make orders conservatively.

In the future, NPC will use our advantage from complete vertical integration involving upstream and downstream industries to accelerate the adjustment of production and sales strategies, as well as transformation in response to market developments. Moreover, NPC will actively launch and promote differentiated products and increase the sales proportion of high-value and highly functional niche products, while striving for full-scale production and sales; flexibly deploying production and sales operations in manufacturing plants located in both Mainland China and Taiwan, thereby driving revenue and profit increase.

Nan Ya Printed Circuit Board Corp., which is reinvested by NPC, has long been focusing on the development and production of circuit boards and IC package substrates. In 2018, it had been committed to product transformation to reduce its reliance on personal computer application products, and had expanded into niche markets such as automobile electronics, network communications and system-in-package, and had been out of the red in the third quarter of 2018. In response to the future development trend of semiconductors, Nan Ya Printed Circuit Board Corp. has actively strengthened its research and development capabilities, while reorganizing the processing procedures and production conditions in the process area, replacing old machines, and incorporating advanced equipment including automated machines, in order to enhance process capability, product yield, and production efficiency, strengthening the operating performance. In the future, the company is expected to strive for more production orders of niche products, and acquire new customers while continuously advancing its production technology, improving yield and reducing costs, so as to improve its operating performance.

Nan Ya Technology Corp., another company reinvested by NPC, is committed to the development, manufacture and sale of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) products. In 2018, it completed the development and sale of 20nm 8Gb DDR4, 4Gb DDR4 and 2Gb DDR3 etc., and reactivated the development of the server product market. In 2019, it plans to introduce a series of low-power products, with a view to enhancing the diversification of product applications and increasing competitiveness. Due to the healthy environment of the overall DRAM industry in 2018, its operating profit continued to rise, thereby generating profit at record high once more. In the future, DRAM is expected to be an indispensable key component in emerging applications, including 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), electric vehicles, and big data. Hence, Nan Ya Technology Corp. will continue to enhance its capabilities, including process technology, product design, and customer service in response to market demand, so as to provide customers with the best memory solutions.

2.2018 Operating Status

The consolidated operating revenue was NT$333.06 billion in 2018, an increase of NT$26.92 billion, 8.8% over NT$306.14 billion in 2017. Deducted operating costs NT$284.00 billion and selling expenses and administrative expenses NT$19.64 billion the operating income was NT$29.42 billion in 2018 which declined 1.4% compared with NT$29.85 billion in 2017. Added up non-operating income and expenses NT$ 32.11billion the pre-tax income of 2018 was NT$61.53 billion and the pre-tax income margin was 18.5% a decrease of 2.0% over NT$62.78 billion in 2017.

3.2019 Business Outlook

Looking forward to 2019, the biggest uncertainty in the global economy is the evolution of the China-U.S. trade war. Given that every link of the global industry chain is tightly connected, international trade tensions will affect all economies in the world and inhibit economic growth momentum. With such a concern in the general environment, international research institutions have revised the global economic growth rate downward.

The introduction of tax reform in the U.S. has significantly boosted the investments of American and foreign companies, which drove economic growth, improved the employment market, increased consumption and capital expenditures, thereby stimulating the economy of other countries. However, its trade tension with China is set to continue. Coupled with the diminishing effects of tax cuts, it is generally expected that economic growth in the U.S. will slow down compared to last year.

With Mainland China experiencing a slowdown in gross domestic product (GDP) growth quarter by quarter last year, reduction of domestic investments and consumption, its economy is currently demonstrating a downward trend, and its industries are currently in the restructuring stage. Furthermore, with the China-U.S. trade war expanding into technology control and other non-economic aspects, the international community

10

widely expects that economic growth will slow down further this year.

In summary, the global economy will continue to be affected by multiple factors, including the China-U.S. trade war, cross-strait relations, and oil price fluctuations. In the face of a complex international scenario, maintaining stable growth and profit continues to be NPC's most important goal.

NPC was able to achieve the expected results for four operational directions launched in 2018. These operational directions include: � Actively expand and segment the market to increase capacity utilization rate; � Enhance research and development, and develop high-value and differentiated products to increase profitability; � Implement circular economy, as well as reduce the use of resources and implement reuse of resources to realize cost-effectiveness; � Comprehensively promote process optimization and Industry 4.0, and incorporate AI to enhance product competitiveness

Changes in the global economy will be more and more difficult to predict in the future, and a complex and ever-changing international environment will affect global economic development. In the face of such an adversity and challenge, NPC adheres to our philosophy of inquiring into the root of the matter and aiming at the sovereign good, while continuously making improvements and pursuing rationalization. NPC will continue to drive the four operational directions above, where process optimization and AI will become the most important themes this year. NPC will use AI to develop the best process operation methods and conditions in order to enhance product quality and production efficiency.

Our ongoing capital expenditure plans include not only improvements in process optimization to increase production capacity and efficiency, but also continuous increase in domestic and overseas investment. Among our ongoing investment plans, domestic plans cover investments in high-value copper foil, polyester films, and PP synthetic paper, whereas overseas investment plans mainly involve the expansion of EG factory in the U.S. and copper foil substrate and fiberglass cloth factories in Mainland China. After going into production, it is estimated that these factories can generate

11

an annual production output of NT$50 billion, which adds new production capacity to NPC, thereby driving continuous performance growth.
