Attachment 1
Ocean Plastics Co., Ltd. 2021 Business report
The global economy in 2021 will continue the situation of 2020, affected by the US-China trade war and the variant of COVID-19. Taiwan's economy is less affected than other countries. In terms of daily life, there are relatively few restrictions, and the overall plastic industry is not affected by 2020. There is a significant growth in revenues in 2021, but the price difference between VCM raw materials and PVC powder shrinks in 2021 due to the price fluctuation of upstream petrochemical raw materials. And in terms of export, due to factors such as high freight costs and clogged ports in the United States; as a whole, in 2021 there was a slight decrease in benefits compared with 2020.
In 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic continues, and the political and economic situation around the world is still turbulent. Problems such as the surge of raw materials caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, the rise of export freight rates, and the clogged ports in the United States are still unresolved, affecting the normal life and business activities of many people. We will carefully observe changes in the overall plastic industry. Under the government's continuous economic revitalization program, the country's overall economic prosperity has been boosted. We will continue to focus our efforts on improving the revenue and profits of our subsidiaries, and the revitalization of idle assets to increase profits has always been our goal.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Ocean Plastics Co., Ltd:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Ocean Plastics Co., Ltd and its subsidiaries (“ the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended and 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, 2021 and 2020, 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 with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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 Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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 of our opinion.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of Ocean Group Ltd., Fermat Enterprises Ltd. and Universe Enterprises Ltd., subsidiaries of the Group, nor Chun Pin Enterprise Co., Ltd., an associate of the Group, which represented investment in another entity accounted for using the equity method. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Ocean Group Ltd., Fermat Enterprises Ltd., Universe Enterprises Ltd., and Chun Pin Enterprise Co., Ltd., is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The financial statements of Ocean Group Ltd., Fermat Enterprises Ltd. and Universe Enterprises Ltd. reflect total assets constituting 7% and 6% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and total operating revenues constituting 13% and 12% of consolidated total operating revenues for the years then ended, respectively. The investment in Chun Pin Enterprise Co., Ltd. accounted for using the equity method constituting 3% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the related share of profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method constituting 22% and 19% of consolidated total profit before tax for the years then ended, respectively.
Ocean Plastics Co., Ltd has additionally prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, on which we have issued an unmodified 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
1. Inventory evaluation
Please refer to note 4(h) for the accounting policy on “ Inventory” and note 6(f) for components of inventories and expenses.
Description of key audit matter:
The Group’ s inventories are mainly midstream and downstream products of petrochemicals (PVC) and related products. The measurement of the net realizable value and obsolescence of inventories is uncertain because of involvement of management's subjective judgement. Therefore, we have considered inventory valuation to be a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures in this area included, among others: understanding inventory valuation policies to ensure that the process of inventory valuation was in conformity with the accounting policies, which included sampling the sources of the market prices adopted in inventory valuation to ascertain the appropriateness, and sampling inventories to test the accuracy of the aging report; reviewing the estimate of allowance for inventory loss in prior periods, and comparing it with the method and assumption used in estimating allowance for inventory loss for the current period, so as to assess the reasonableness; inspecting the sales after the balance sheet date, in order to ensure that inventory valuation was appropriate.
2.Revenue recognition
Please refer to note 4(o) for the accounting policy on “Revenue recognition” and note 6(u) for information about revenue recognition.
Description of key audit matter:
The Group engages in manufacturing and selling plastics materials and downstream plastic products (plastic construction tubing, plastic cloth, plasticized synthetic leather, etc.). Considering the high trade volume and decentral customers of the Group, the control of products transfers at different time points might impact the time of revenue recognition. Therefore, revenue recognition has been identified as a key matter in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures in this area included, among others: evaluating the reasonableness of revenue recognition; understanding and testing the internal control of sales and collection cycles to ascertain if the implement was operative; checking individual sales transactions, customer orders, shipping certificates, invoices and other documents; delving into the periods before and after the balance sheet date, in order to evaluate if the period of revenue recognition tallied with the trade condition and shipping documents.
4-2
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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, 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.
-
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.
-
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.
4-3
- Obtain sufficient and 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 auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Cheng-Chien Chen and Yung-Hua Huang.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Ocean Plastics Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Ocean Plastics Co., Ltd.(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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 of our opinion.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of Ocean Group Ltd., Fermat Enterprises Ltd., Universe Enterprises Ltd. and Chun Pin Enterprise Co., Ltd., which represented investment in another entity accounted for using the equity method. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Ocean Group Ltd., Fermat Enterprises Ltd., Universe Enterprises Ltd., and Chun Pin Enterprise Co., Ltd., is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The investment in Ocean Group Ltd., Fermat Enterprises Ltd. and Universe Enterprises Ltd. and Chun Pin Enterprise Co., Ltd. accounted for using the equity method constituting 10% of total assets at both December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related share of profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method constituting 21% and 70% of total profit before tax for the years then ended, respectively.
3-1
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
1. Inventory valuation
Please refer to note 4(g) for the accounting policy on “ Inventory” and note 6(e) for components of inventories and expenses.
Description of key audit matter:
The Company's inventories are mainly midstream and downstream products of petrochemicals (PVC) and related products. The measurement of the net realizable value and obsolescence of inventories is uncertain because of involvement of management's subjective judgement. Therefore, we have considered inventory valuation to be a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures in this area included, among others: understanding inventory valuation policies to ensure that the process of inventory valuation was in conformity with the accounting policies, which included sampling the sources of the market prices adopted in inventory valuation to ascertain the appropriateness, and sampling inventories to test the accuracy of the aging report; reviewing the estimate of allowance for inventory loss in prior periods, and comparing it with the method and assumption used in estimating allowance for inventory loss for the current period, so as to assess the reasonableness; inspecting the sales after the balance sheet date, in order to ensure that inventory valuation was appropriate.
2.Revenue recognition
Please refer to note 4(n) for the accounting policy on “Revenue recognition” and note 6(s) for information about revenue recognition.
Description of key audit matter:
The Company engages in manufacturing and selling plastics materials and downstream plastic products (plastic construction tubing, plastic cloth, plasticized synthetic leather, etc.). Considering the high trade volume and decentral customers of the Company, the control of products transfers at different time points might impact the time of revenue recognition. Therefore, revenue recognition has been identified as a key matter in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures in this area included, among others: evaluating the reasonableness of revenue recognition; understanding and testing the internal control of sales and collection cycles to ascertain if the implement was operative; checking individual sales transactions, customer orders, shipping certificates, invoices and other documents; delving into the periods before and after the balance sheet date, in order to evaluate if the period of revenue recognition tallied with the trade condition and shipping documents.
3-2
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
3-3
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this 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.
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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Cheng-Chien Chen and Yung-Hua Huang.
