Automotive industry, being one of the world's largest and one of the most important industry, has become the pillar industry of national economy in United States, Japan, Germany, France and other industrial developed countries, and accounted for a large proportion in the manufacturing industry. It has a strong driving effect on the upgrading of industrial structure and the development of related industries, and has many characteristics such as high industrial correlation, wide coverage, high technical requirements, strong integration, large number of components, and large added value. Automobile products go through the process of market research, product research and development, production and manufacturing, and sales feedback. The product development cycle is quite long, and the production and manufacturing process is rather complicated. As a result, it involves a wide range of satellite manufacturers, which need the mutual cooperation of various industries. The automotive industry can be divided into whole automotive industry and automobile component industry According to industrial production statistics, the automobile component industry can be classified into the following ten categories

a. Global automobile industry
According to the data of LMC Automotive on the scale of the global vehicle market in recent years, the sales of global light vehicles in 2019 were about 90,270,000, a decline of 4.4%. The reasons for the decline include a sharp slowdown of China's economic growth and the cancellation of the preferential tax policy for electric vehicles by the Chinese authorities, which led to a sharp drop in demand. On the India side, due to the domestic credit crunch and economic slowdown, consumers avoided large consumption activities such as car purchases. On the European side, the increasingly strict WLTP emission standards caused major global car factories to cut costs and reduce car models available. These factors coupled with the reduction of growth
~58~
momentum of global economies, the US-China trade war, and the uncertain prospect of Brexit resulted in a sales volume decline from January to August. However, in 2020 the emission standards and regulations will be more stringent, which will stimulate consumers to buy cars, leading to a small growth of 1.3% in the whole year. The scale of the global car market In recent years is shown in Figure 2.

In 2019, the top five auto markets in the world were mainland China, the United States, Japan, Germany, and India in descending order. With the support of its 1.3 billion plus population, the sales volume of mainland China still ranks first in the world, totaling 25,769 thousand vehicles. However, the Sino-US trade war and the slowdown of China's economic growth reduced people's willingness to buy cars and weakened the consumption momentum, resulting in a decline of 8.2% in China's car sales. In the United States, although the sales of large and medium-sized vehicles such as SUVs and light trucks are relatively strong, the sales of traditional cars continue to decline, while the rise of car prices and loan interest rates have affected the ability and willingness of consumers to buy cars. The total sales volume is 17,048,000, down 1.3% from 2018. The automobile markets in Japan and Germany, ranking third and fourth, are mature markets, have a total sales volume of 5,195,000 and
~59~
3,960,000 respectively, down 1.5% and up 5% from 2018. In India, due to the credit crunch and the slowdown of economic growth, the sales volume is 3,816,000, down 13% from 2018. The main market sales of light vehicles in the world from 2018 to 2019 are summarized in the table below.

b. Global automotive component industry
Automotive industry is high precision, and high degree of technical integration of comprehensive industry. The development process of product is quite long, which is from market research, product development, manufacturing to sales feedback. The manufacturing process is also very complicated, so it involves a wide range of industries, which relevant satellite manufacturers need to cooperate with various industries. There are plenty of automobile components. Depending on the complexity of the components, the number of components required is up to 30,000 units. The materials that are used in each component include steel, nonferrous metals, rubber, asbestos, china, fiber and petrochemical industry. The manufacturing method of components includes casting, press, forging, mechanical processing and thermal processing and so on. The completed components are inspected for quality before being transported to the central factory for assembly. The assembly process of automobile in the center factory includes welding, painting, pre-assembly of partial components, and assembly of vehicle. The automobile components must pass the inspection and test standards in various conditions before leaving the factory. Only after being
~60~
confirmed as qualified, can a safe and reliable automobile be considered as completion.
With respect to the development trend of global automobile market, although the automotive industry is rather mature and the whole industrial chain structure is also very complete, in current year, the content rate of automobile components of plant are decreasing under pressure of profit and cost. Consequently, the degree of dependence on the external automobile component plants gradually increases. Automobile component plant from a simple component original equipment manufacturing, become the main research and development partner of the plants, which has transferred pressure to component plants and caused the cost pressures among major automobile component suppliers worldwide are increasing. Therefore, outsourcing or joint venture manufacturing methods have been adopted to bring automobile component manufacturers business opportunities. The scale of the global automobile industry is gradually expanding, and after years of efforts in the development of the automotive industry, automobile components have had the advantages of a small number of diverse and flexible manufacturing. After on-going investing in research and development and upgrading of production technology, it has strength of international competitiveness.
Basically, the international automobile component industry is developing with plants and local government with relevant industry policies. There are two main markets. One is to cooperate with the local domestic, foreign car manufacturers play the role of OEM, and provide the original factory to assemble new automobile components. The other is to provide components maintained or refitted to domestic and foreign aftermarket. In terms of sales outlet of components, it can be divided into four kinds of sales outlet of automotive components, which are Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM), Original Design Manufacturing (ODM), Original Equipment Service (OES), After Market (AM). OEM and ODM market are for the original assembly components, while OES is the original certified components for after-sales maintenance. The components that AM provides are components for aftermarket maintenance and refitting.

The automotive industry is different from electronics industry, which upstream and downstream are the closed markets of a few manufacturers. Each automobile component needs a rigorous and lengthy testing and certification before they can be used by the original equipment manufacturing. The automotive industry has high requirements for quality systems and yield. ISO-9001, QS-9000 and TS-16949 are basic requirements. The components purchased are almost no defects.
The global automobile component industry continues to be highly dependent on vehicle production. With emerging countries, particularly China, benefiting from rapid domestic economic growth in recent years, the demand for vehicles has also increased significantly. In the meantime, the global large plants have expanded rapidly, which drive other components suppliers to follow up, so as to meet the overall production demand. As overall car sales increase, so does demand for aftermarket components. In addition, consumers tend to hold vehicles for longer periods of time, which increases the market demand for replacement of aftermarket components. In 2019, the global automobile market was in a recession, and the sales momentum of whole vehicles was depressed. However, the poor sales of the international automobile manufacturers affected the demand for upstream parts and components, and prompted whole vehicle manufacturers to transfer the pressure to the upstream parts
~62~
manufacturers, so that they could stand a keener price cutting competition which affects their profits.
B. Motorcycle industry overview
General motorcycle industry refers to the manufacture of motorcycle and parts. According to the definition of Standard Industrial Classification prepared by Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan, it is the industry which manufactures cycles,
three-wheel motorcycle, engine, motorcycle‘s sidecar and motorcycle specialized parts. The industrial production is classified into the motorcycle industry and motorcycle component industry. The detailed categories are shown in the following table:
Table 1: The table of motorcycle industry classification

Motorcycle originated in Europe, America and other places. Before World War II, leading manufacturers in the motorcycle industry are mainly European and American brands, including BMW, PIAGGIO, DUCATI, TRIUMPH, HARLEY‐ DAVIDSON, INDIAN and so on. After World War II, Japanese motorcycle manufacturers emerged at the historic moment, and with the characteristics of use, it is suitable to use in developing countries. HONDA, YAMAHA, SUZUKI and KAWASAKI gradually become global leaders. Currently, Asia is the world's major motorcycle market, accounting for 90% of the global motorcycle sales in 2017. India, the largest market, has grown rapidly in recent years. Under the double
~63~
influence of China's anti-motorcycle policy and slowdown of economic growth, India’s motorcycle sales volume in 2016 surpassed that of China, making India the world's largest motorcycle production and sales country. According to the statistics of SIAM, India’s automotive association, in 2017 the output of India's two wheeled vehicles reached 23,150,000, with a growth of 16.1% over the same period. The sales volume reached 20,190,000, with a growth of 14.8%. Both of them broke through the 20 million mark. At present, the motorcycle penetration rate in rural areas of India still has room for improvement and is expected to continue to drive sales. China, the second largest motorcycle market, gave to India its number one rank in motorcycle sales for 23 consecutive years in 2016 due to its government's ban on motorcycles. According to the statistics and analysis of CAAM, China’s automotive association, in 2017 the total production and sales volume of China's motorcycle industry recovered after five consecutive years of decline. The output of two-wheel plus three-wheel motorcycles was 17,156,000, up 1.9% over the same period. The sales volume was 17,135,000, up 2.0%. According to AISI, Indonesia’s automotive association, Indonesia, as the third largest motorcycle market, had a motorcycle production of about 6,321,000 in 2017, up 1.7% over the same period. The sales volume was about 5,886,000, down 0.8%. The sales volume fell below the 6 million level for two consecutive years, mainly due to a rise in electricity and vehicle registration fees, which lowered the public's willingness to buy.

Countries such as North America and Europe, with stable economy and mature market, have limited growth of demand for motorcycle in the future, which tend to focus on leisure and urban short distance travel, with relatively low growth range. In addition to the current main regional markets, developing countries such as Africa are also increasing the demand for motorcycle. With the economic growth, people's demand for transportation tools changes, and the demand for two-wheelers will also gradually increase, which is expected to become a major global motorcycle market in the future.
C. Machine tool industry overview
The production value of machine tool are US$ 875.2 million in 2017, which is 7.3% higher than in 2016. In order of production value, the top ten machine tool countries in the world are China, Japan, Germany, Italy, America, South Korea, Taiwan, Swiss, Spain and India.

Since 2009, China leaps to the world's largest producer. Strong domestic demand gives rise to create China to be the world's largest country of consumption of machine tools, which makes its machine tools become the world's largest machine tool consumer and importer for many years. On the other hand, the current market for machine tools in China is still dominated by domestic demand, and the value of exports is relatively small. In the last one or two year, as the independence of machine tool in China has gradually become effective, some of the low-end machine tools produced by China have been exported to emerging markets in Southeast Asia, so the export value of China has gradually increased. In 2017, China remains the world's largest demand country for machine tool, with a total output value of us $24.52 billion, going up by 3.6% compared to 2016, and a global market share of 28%. China is also the world's largest country of consumption for machine tools. The market size in 2017 was US$29.97 billion, going up by 9% compared to 2016. It is expected that under the promotion of the "Made in China 2025" policy, China's tool machine consumption will continue to increase.

- (3) Various trends of product development
A. Automobile components
Caused by the globalization trend of auto industry, the industry value chain from research and development, procurement, production, sales to after-market, each functional activity has tended to global configuration and retain research and development institutions in local. Instead of investing in replicating products to other target markets, each functional activity has been allocated to the global market according to their capabilities. As a result of the new specialized division of labor cooperation system, the plants adopt the global procurement strategy for reducing the cost. On the other hand, there is a trend of separation between
~67~
the component companies of the original collaborative system, which also leads to more and more multinational component companies.
The development modes of automobile component manufacturers can be divided into three categories: (1) Enter into the international plants or the supply chain system of Tier-1. (2) Joint venture with local plants or technical partners to enter overseas markets. (3) Cooperate with big international factories to set up delivery warehouse or logistics center, so as to seize the opportunity of local automobile after-market and maintenance market. The Group's current development direction is mainly in the previous two categories
In addition, automobile components industry development and automotive production are closely related to after-sales service and maintenance. There are three major automotive industry in the world: China, North America and Japan. These three regions all belong to the mature automobile market and are also the important consumer market of automobile components in the world.
In recent years, the global plants and automobile components industry has been developing towards the decrease of enterprises, expansion of business scale and rapid internationalization. The overall trend is as follows:
-
Industrial scale: The innovation of product and technology is also committed to the direction of plants. To reduce development costs and component costs, the plants will expand the economies of scale of a single platform or model through common platforms, modular design and global strategic vehicles.
-
Specialization of production: So as to shorten the whole new cars development time, and ensure the quality, cost and delivery time, automobile components factories can no longer only produce as well as provide loading components on assembly line based on drawings provided by plants, but should be more deeply participate in the whole value chain of automobile, from research and development, sales to after-sales service to improve professional level.
-
Internationalization of production and operation: In line with the global plants, the scope of multinational automobile component factories is becoming larger and larger. Its main purpose is to match with plants overseas, to develop new markets, or to seek low-cost advantages in local production. Therefore, the formation of
~68~
-
automobile components factory production and management of internationalization.
-
The collaborative system relationship is complicated: In the past, plants and component suppliers were inseparable through the operation of a collaborative system. However, with the white-hot competition in the automobile market, plants not only require the existing subcontractors to reduce the annual cost, but also seeks compliance with specifications through its procurement platform but replace subcontractors that cannot match price cuts with component factories of superior supply prices.
-
Upgrading of automobile application technology: The other pressure that component suppliers need to face is the upgrading of automobile application technology, including miniaturization, lightweight, energy saving and so on. Suppliers also need to invest in research and development to meet the needs of new technologies.
-
Automobile component manufacturers will more invest actively in the China market: In the future, the plants will mainly invest in developing countries. Apart from manufacturing, design and engineering, value activities will also be introduced simultaneously. And the scale of automotive market in China continues to grow and becomes the world's largest automotive sales country. The domestic market is also the reason why plants will manufacture locally. Its current car ownership per thousand is still low. Therefore, it brings business opportunities for plants, and so does for automobile component manufacturers. Also, due to the growth of the automobile market in China over the years, the demand for automotive component industry in the automobile aftermarket will increase. Automobile component manufacturers are planning to expand investment into China for gaining access to the huge automobile components market and actively cooperate with local automobile manufacturers for business opportunities.
-
Energy efficiency and low carbon emissions have become an inevitable trend in the development of automobile products. With fuel prices still high and environmental concerns, the proportion of energy-saving and hybrid vehicles is gradually increasing. Government policies and related fiscal and tax incentives are the most important driving force at present. Electric cars will still be one of the industry's core development within automobile manufacturers
~69~
because apart from the change of automobiles’ power system, the automobile manufacturers have dedicated to developing small energy-saving models. In addition to complying with regulatory requirements, it will also provide consumers with more options to buy cars in tough economic times.
B. Motorcycle components
In recent years, due to the rapid changes in the global climate, countries have become increasingly concerned about environmental pollution and exhaust emissions from automobile and motorcycle. Each motorcycle manufacturer keeps processing research and development of new products in order that it can produce safer, more environmentally friendly, higher quality products, which has encouraged upstream suppliers to develop the newer technologies, more environmentally friendly and more expensive and profitable components. With the rapid growth of economy, the need of motorcycles in Southeast Asian Nations gradually increases. The main Japanese motorcycles manufacturers such as HONDA, YAMAHA and SUZUKI has shifted value activities, including procurement, production or sales to Southeast Asian Nations such as Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, where the motorcycle market is growing rapidly in order to decrease labor cost. The relevant potential competitors are also dominated by this market. For this reason, the future development of the Group not only actively becomes the main suppliers in Indonesia market, but also looks other ASEAN market.
C. Machine tool equipment
In terms of machine tool production - China, China has been engaging in the economic structure adjustment and the transformation of the development direction. Because of the development of key areas such as aviation, ships, automobiles, energy and other aspects, there is huge need for high-end CNC, high efficiency cutting tool and precision measuring machine. On the other hand, the rise of intelligent manufacturing also provides a new path for the development of machine tool industry. In the next five years, the development demand of tool machine industry in China will further shift to the high-end. According to Gardner Research’s statistics, although the sales growth of the machine tool industry was in a downward trend in 2012, the sources of product with serious decline were mainly medium and low-end products, which also indicated that the demand for machine tools in China was shifting to the
~70~
high-end. Overall, the demand for high-end machine tools in China has maintained a strong trend.
The global machine tool market is constantly in the competition of pursuing high efficiency and low energy consumption. Meanwhile, emerging fields and emerging materials also put forward new requirements for the machine tool market. Consequently, machine tool suppliers should not only pursue in-depth development in traditional fields, but also make their products catch up with the pace of emerging fields to maintain competitiveness and their position.
(4) Competition status
In recent years, the world's major manufacturers covet the Chinese huge automobile market and ASEAN area’s motorcycle market. Furthermore, as the cost of production can't effectively reduce the pressure, the products are gradually made by other national foundry production or nearby local procurement. With the economic rise of mainland China and the continuous growth of ASEAN market economy in recent years, the average income of the Chinese people has been increasing steadily and the consumer spending also rose. As a result, local demand for automobile and motorcycle has grown steadily and the China and ASEAN markets have benefited. With the continuous increase in the production of automobile and motorcycle components, the demand for press production line equipment for the production of related components also increases. For this purpose, in addition to actively improving the production efficiency and reducing the production cost of automobile components, the Group also strengthens the sales market of press production line equipment and fights for more sales orders for machine equipment.
In general, for the reason that the wide use of industrial products, the current competitive trend is not as fierce as that of electronic products. Nevertheless, as the use of industrial products is wider, the future market will be valued, which means that the competition will be more obvious in the future.

2. Market share:
The Group is as a professional manufacturer of precision metal components. Because most of the Group product components are automobile components, it is hard to calculate its market share. Since its establishment, the Group has been adhering to the concept of serving customers and has become a supplier of MQB (modular querbaukasten) platform of Volkswagen Group. Therefore, the Group’s market share of products should also be significantly increased. Accordingly, the goal of the Group’s market share is continued increasing the Group's performance growth. With the steady growth of global automotive market demand, it is expected that the demand for automobile components will continue to grow in the future. There is still great room for growth in the Group's revenue.
~76~
3. Future market supply/demand and growth
A. Future market supply/demand
The automobile and motorcycle components industry is monopoly market. As automotive manufacturers strive for stability in their component supply chain, most of manufacturers will not switch suppliers easily. The automobiles and motorcycles are also the industry with a high emphasis on safety, which its components has higher precision and reliability than that of other industries, so the downstream plants have strict authentication mechanisms for the components suppliers. As a result, the automotive high entry threshold. The system manufacturer is based on quality control, and once the qualified supplier is selected, it is less likely to change partners easily, thus forming a relatively closed supply chain relationship. The growth of the company's industrial market is analyzed as follows:
a. Automobile components
Multinational automobile manufacturers of well-known brands have established new models of international division of labor and actively engaged in automotive industry and market operation in emerging countries such as China, due to the fact that the upcoming globalization. This not only increases the dependence of local automotive components suppliers on multinational automobile manufacturers, but also attracts more manufacturers to invest, building up a more integrated automotive industry supply chain because of the huge demand in emerging countries. As far as automobile sales quantity is concerned, it is difficult to find explosive room for growth as automobile appetite is almost at the stage of saturation in developed countries. In the meantime, as the economic rise of emerging countries, the increase in people’s income generate growing demand for automobiles, which the vehicle market will continue to grow steadily in the medium to long term.
In 2017, global automotive sales hit a new record high. Nonetheless, because of the conservative outlook of the U.S. and China automotive market, the high risk of exchange rate and raw materials, and the immature opportunity for mass production of electric vehicles, the industry is expected to see a slight recession in 2018.
~77~
China has become the world's largest automobile production and sales country, and cars per capita are far below the standards of developed countries. But for the past 10 years, the rapid growth of the number of automobiles, has brought Chinese society came many problems such as congestion, pollution and traffic safety, formed the contradiction between quantity growth and limitation. This is also the problem that needs to be faced when Chinese government is actively developing automotive industry. Overall, as people consuming ability rise, demand has increased. It is expected that the sales volume of motorcycle as a whole in China will still grow year by year, but the growth of new car sold will gradually decrease or stagnate over the next few years.
With the rapid growth of China's automotive industry in recent years, car ownership increases sharply. The scale of China's demand for automotive components continue to expand, owing to the fact that the low unit price of Chinese automobiles, the relatively unstable quality and the relatively high frequency of component replacement. Meanwhile, with Chinese people's income gradually increased, the price is no longer the only one consideration when people change components. Instead, the importance of driving safety increase. Compared with Chinese automotive components industry, foreign has quality advantage, so the demand for automotive components in Chinese market will continue to rise. So as to fight for this business opportunity, in recent years, the foreign automotive components industry develops more actively in China.
There are few local manufacturers investing 100% in automotive OEM components industry in Indonesia. Most of them are domestic and foreign joint ventures or factories invested by Japanese,
Taiwanese or Korean companies. Most precision components need to be imported. Indonesian vehicle operators believe that there is great opportunities for Indonesia to regain its position as a regional vehicle assembly and components production center with the implementation of ASEAN Free Trade Area and political instability in Thailand. TOYOTA Astra Motor indicates that Indonesia has a potential market and natural resources, coupled with the implementation of ASEAN Free Trade Area, which 5% import tariffs on automobiles and components have been lifted among six ASEAN founding members, including Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei and
~78~
Indonesia. It has become very accessible to export cars and automotive components from Indonesia to southeast Asian countries, and the industry is now in the best position to overtake Thailand.
Even though Indonesia has a large automotive component market, Japanese’s automobile manufacturers have a closed system. Most of the major automotive components are monopolized by their agents or joint ventures, consequently, OEM suppliers of Japanese automotive components produced in foreign countries have little access to their supply chains. As for the large scale of the AM, the manufacturers estimated that around two-thirds of them are non-factory components, so there is still a lot to be done.
- b. Motorcycle components
Due to the motorcycle has the characteristic of being easy to use, being applicable to wider road surface, cargo capacity and not taking up a lot of space, it has become the important tools for commuting and carrying goods. Different from the developed countries which regard motorcycles as leisure and competition, motorcycles in emerging countries are more widely used, especially in Asia. In countries with lower per capita income, and less developed public transportation systems, it becomes common that motorcycle is used as daily transport and production tool. In terms of the analysis of global motorcycle market development, the trend of increasing population and increasing urbanization will still drive the growth of global motorcycle market as a whole, however, due to the low oil price and the slow upturn of global economy, the motorcycle is still a temporary means of transport. The car is still the type of vehicle that consumers are eager to buy, so the growth momentum of global motorcycle will be relatively flat in the future. According to the industrial technology research institute, it estimated that the global motorcycle market will only grow to 80 million units in 2017.

Indonesia is the third largest motorcycle market in the world. Like other Southeast Asian countries, due to the high population density, the lack of road infrastructure and mass transportation tools, the traffic jam issue in major cities in Indonesia is quite serious. Therefore, motorcycles with convenient driving and low price have become the first choice for people. With the improvement of income level and the increase of personal consumption, the annual sales volume exceeded 8 million in 2011. In 2012, due to an increase of
~80~
motorcycle loan down payments and the impact of stricter financial audit standards of financial institutions, the market was significantly tightened. In addition, the continuous devaluation of the rupiah exchange rate in 2014 led to an increase of production cost of imported parts and components quoted in US dollars, coupled with the reduction of inflation-based fuel subsidies. The consumer market has been in a weak state for many years. However, Indonesia has a population of about 262 million, and is the fourth largest country in the world. With the continuous increase of basic local wages, the number of middle-level consumers has increased, and the consumption power of its domestic market has also been driven. In 2018, the sales volume returned to more than 6 million vehicles.
C. Machine tool equipment
Due to the continued recession in the overall economic growth rate of China and the reduced demand in most emerging markets, it is estimated that the output value of machine tool in China will shrink further in 2016, with a total output value of US$ 20.2 billion, 8.5% lower than that in 2015.

However, in the future, the following factors will be conducive to the transformation of machine tool manufacturers in China:
~81~
-
The continued development of large commercial aircraft and general aviation markets in the Chinese will bring new demand to the aerospace machine tool market. China will continue to develop high-end rail transport equipment, and actively enter the international market, will form another large-scale high-end machine tool market. Furthermore, Chinese government actively encourages manufacturers to carry out high-end machine tool localization. Driven by the conducive market demand, it will be able to encourage Chinese machine tool manufacturers to continue to carry out the research and development of high-end machine.
-
The Chinese is actively promoting the application of intelligent manufacturing and forming a complementary and cooperative situation with German industry 4.0 in terms of market and technology. Although it is not obvious that the intelligent machine tool are needed in China market, facing the shortage of workers caused by the lowest fertility issue and the need to strengthen the country's overall competitiveness through the transformation of manufacturing industry, many machine tool manufacturers in China have invested in the research and development of intelligent tool and increased the proportion of manufacturing service revenue.
-
Many enterprises in China have accumulated many old machine tool equipment for the last 30 years. The enterprise has gradually emerged the trend of machine tool refitting and remanufacturing for improving production efficiency, processing quality and reduce energy consumption, and it also brought new business opportunities for machine tool manufacturers in China.
4. Competitive niche
(1) Relationship with customers
The Group maintains long-term and good partnership with major customers and provides advice and demand for market intelligence and product development to jointly expand the market. Through the past many years of hard work, it has become an important supplier of international large factories. In the international automobile manufacturers’ supply chain system, the main supplier is not easy to be changed and replaced because
~82~
international automobile manufacturers’ procurement and certification system is complicated and strict, plus a long time to prepare, and what they care is its high quality, stable supply and R&D efficiency. As the cost price is not the most important factor, what international automobile manufacturers care about the potential risk and cost is due to changing the suppliers too often, which causes intangible loss and time cost.
- (2) Continuous investment in research and development and technology upgrading
The Group has put lots of effort on the investment of research and development. Recently, so as to shorten the development process, show the determination and efforts in product development speed, technology improvement and cost control the personnel and equipment investment are growing.
- (3) Competitive price:
For the sake of gradually achieving the market demand of cost reduction, the Group should adopt the international procurement layout, in response to rising costs and carry out precise production management to drive the management improvement by technology improvement.
- (4) International Organization for Standardization:
It has obtained ISO9002, QS9000 and ISO/TS16949 certification of international quality, and the quality management system is in line with international standards. To meet the strict requirements on the quality of suppliers, major international automobile manufacturers have developed QS 9000, the certification system of quality. Only when the supplier meets the certification qualification will it be the qualified supplier. In accordance with the increasingly strict requirements and specifications of international plants, the Group has passed the ISO/TS16949 quality certification, and ensures that the Group has met the basic requirements of international plants Therefore, through this certification, it not only can improve the Group's product image, but also contribute to increase international competitiveness.
(5) Precision testing instrument
The Group’s detecting instruments is a testing equipment that has been equipped with international standards. The product yield is nearly 100%.
~83~
- (6) Professional technical ability and stable quality:
Since the Group established, it has been continuously inventing and developing. It builds up its own professional and technical capabilities, has the ability to customize products to meet customers’ special needs and enhance customers' competitiveness. The products with stable quality are also recognized by customers.
- Positive/negative factors of long-term development, and the countermeasures thereof:
Positive factors
- (1) China market that flourishes has brought the market opportunity
Although China has become the country that has the highest sale volume of cars around the world, its car ownership per thousand is still low, which is less than half the global average and less than a tenth of that in developed countries. With the continuous economic development in China, the automobile market in China is still in a stage of high demand. This huge business opportunity will attract manufacturers in automotive industry to invest in China, which will help automobile component manufacturers to compete in the China market.
- (2) Due to having been dedicating product technology and market for many years, it has cultivated stable cooperation mode with customers.
Since the Group has been working with Faurecia group, it has become one of its main qualified suppliers. Participating in research and development and design which is based on technical cooperation has raised the Group’s adding value. It can be seen that after years of mutual trust and cooperation and repeated certification, the quality and price of the Group's products have been recognized.
- (3) Component plants in Europe, America and Japanese are eager to establish regional production bases:
As the rise in the Asia-pacific area market, the international automobile manufacturers have been into Asia and south east Asia region. Considering the cost and nearby customer service, component plants in Europe, America and Japanese are eager to establish regional production bases. With the Group’s excellent manufacturing management and quality management ability, it can enter the supply chain of international automobile manufacturing market.
~84~
Negative factors
- (1) International raw material prices fluctuate greatly, which makes raw material inventory management and cost control more challenging. The main raw material of the group is steel. With the continuous growth of turnover, the use of raw material has increased significantly. Moreover, the Group has not signed long-term purchase contracts with suppliers, and the huge fluctuation of raw material prices makes it difficult to grasp the cost and delivery date.
Countermeasures:
Through direct interaction with customers, the Group understands the customers’ needs, timely adjusts and arranges production resources, actively allocates and improves self-production and capacity, produces products in line with customer needs, and increases the competitiveness of products by providing high-quality products, reasonable prices and quality services. The Group also keeps abreast of the price fluctuations in the raw material market and purchases the most beneficial raw materials at the appropriate time. In addition, it also reduces production costs by means of economies of scale and improved manufacturing process to maintain profitability.
- (2) Wages are rising in China and Indonesia, which raise production costs
Countermeasures:
The Group not only improving production process to reduce the waste of raw materials in production and shorten labor hours, so that it can improve the production efficiency and reduce the cost simultaneously. The Group has also gradually increased the ratio of automated production and introduced automatic production machinery to replace part of the labor to stabilize product quality and reduce labor costs.

| Analysis of financial ratio differences for the last two years: (Not required if the difference does not exceed 20%) (1) Ratio of long-term capital to property, plant and equipment :Recognition of the amount of leaseliabilities in accordance with IFRS16 in 2019 resulted in an increase in long-term funds and an increase in the ratio. (2) Quick ratio :The main reason is that due to the inventory cost loss in 2019, the net inventory isreduced, the quick assets are increased, and the quick ratio is increased (3) Interest coverage ratio :Operating income decreased in 2019, but the change in operatingexpenses in the biennium was small, resulting in a reduction in the interest coverage ratio in 2019. (4) Profitability :The main reason is the decrease of operating income and the balance of expenses,which reduces the profit before income tax and reduces the profitability. (5) CASH FLOW :Mainly due to the active recovery of accounts receivable in the current period. |

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.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, 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.
The most significant key audit matters in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period are as follows:
Recognition of overseas warehouse operating revenue
Description
Refer to Note 4(28) for accounting policy on revenue recognition.
The Group’s Mainland China subsidiary, Wuxi Jingxin Precision Machining Co. Ltd. (referred herein as “Wuxi Jingxin”), stored inventories in warehouses which were under the custody of foreign third parties and checked and accepted by custodians in order to meet the requirements of overseas sales customers. The custodians regularly send inventory reports to Wuxi Jingxin to verify the quantities, and Wuxi Jingxin recognises operating revenue based on actual used inventories by customers which are shown in the inventory reports provided by custodians.
As a result of the multi-location of the Company’s warehouses in Europe, which involved manual verification, we considered the recognition of overseas warehouse operating revenue as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
We obtained an understanding and evaluated Wuxi Jingxin’s procedures on overseas warehouse operating revenue, and selected samples to check the accuracy of operating revenue recognition.
-
We obtained the inventory reports as at balance sheet date, and checked whether the timing of revenue recognition was reasonable.
-
We performed confirmation procedures for significant warehouse locations.
~102~
Existence of press machine revenue
Description
Refer to Note 4(28) for accounting policy on revenue recognition.
The Group’s Singapore subsidiary, PATEC PTE. LTD (referred herein as “PATEC”), is mainly engaged in the sale of press machines. Due to the nature of its business, the related transaction terms and revenue recognition are assessed based on individual contracts, and PATEC’s current revenue from sales of press machines to its counterparties had increased/decreased compared to previous year. As a result, we considered the existence of press machine revenue of PATEC as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
We assessed the internal control surrounding the sales of press machines during the current year.
-
We checked the related industry information in relation to current counterparties.
-
We checked the contracts which were entered with customers, and verified the acceptance reports which had been approved by customers and the related collection and transaction records.
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.
~103~
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.
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 judgement 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.
~104~
-
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 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.
~105~
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.

- i. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
~113~
-
ii. The Group has elected to apply IFRS 16 by not restating the comparative information (referred herein as the ‘modified retrospective approach’) when applying “IFRSs” effective in 2019 as endorsed by the FSC. Accordingly, the Group increased ‘right-of-use asset’ by $373,069 and ‘lease liability’ by $309,099, and decreased long-term prepaid rents (shown as other non-current assets) by $49,622, property, plant and equipment by $22,601, current lease obligations payable by $2,835 and non-current lease obligations payable (shown as long-term notes and accounts payable) by $5,418 with respect to the lease contracts of lessees on January 1, 2019.
-
iii. The Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard at the date of initial application of IFRS 16:
-
i. Reassessment as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is not required, instead, the application of IFRS 16 depends on whether or not the contracts were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
-
ii. The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
-
iii.The accounting for operating leases whose period will end before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases and accordingly, rent expense of $7,419 was recognised in 2019.
-
iv. The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of ‘right-of-use asset’.
-
v. The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
-
iv. The Group calculated the present value of lease liabilities by using the weighted average incremental borrowing interest rate ranging from 0.13% to 4.4%.
-
v. The Group recognised lease liabilities which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, ‘Leases’. The reconciliation between operating lease commitments under IAS 17 measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate and lease liabilities recognised as of January 1, 2019 is as follows:
| Operating lease commitments disclosed by applying IAS 17 as at December 31, 2018 Add: Lease payable recognised under finance lease by applying IAS 17 as at December 31, 2018 Total lease contracts amount recognised as lease liabilities by applying IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 Incremental borrowing interest rate at the date of initial application Lease liabilities recognised as at January 1, 2019 by applying IFRS 16 |

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(4) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(5) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
~115~
-
(b) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(6) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.

(7) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”.
~120~
- B. Translation of foreign operations
The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and joint agreements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
(a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
(b) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
-
(c) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(8) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(9) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(10) Financial assets at amortised cost
-
A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
~121~
(11) Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(12) Impairment of financial assets
For assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(13) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
(14) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(15) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
-
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
~122~
Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings and structures 27 years Machinery and equipment 5 ~ 10 years Transportation equipment 5 ~ 10 years Office equipment 3 ~ 10 years Other equipment 5 ~ 10 years Leasehold assets 5 ~ 10 years
(16) Leasing arrangements (lessee) - right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
Effective 2019
-
A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.
-
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
-
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following: (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; and
-
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
(17) Leased assets/ operating leases (lessee)
Prior to 2019
-
A. Based on the terms of a lease contract, a lease is classified as a finance lease if the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset.
-
(a) A finance lease is recognised as an asset and a liability at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments.
-
(b) The minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charges are allocated to each period over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
~123~
- (c) Property, plant and equipment held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. If there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease, the asset shall be depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
-
B. Payments made under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
(18) Long term prepaid rent
-
Prior to 2019
Long-term prepaid rent is the agreed-upon fee for land use paid by the Group’s subsidiary in Indonesia to the Republic of Indonesia government. Long-term prepaid rent is stated initially at its cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its lease period.
-
(19) Intangible assets goodwill
Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
-
(20) Impairment of non-financial assets
-
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
-
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill shall be evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
-
C. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
-
(21) Borrowings
-
A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
-
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
~124~
(22) Notes and accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(23) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition:
-
(a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
-
(b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
-
(c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management policy.
-
-
B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
-
(24) Convertible bonds payable
Convertible bonds issued by the Group contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have the right to convert the bonds into the Group’s common shares by exchanging a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of common shares), call options and put options. The Group classifies the bonds payable upon issuance as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the contract terms. They are accounted for as follows:
-
A. The embedded call options and put options are recognised initially at net fair value as ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’. They are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date; the gain or loss is recognised as ‘gain or loss on valuation of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’.
-
B. The host contracts of bonds are initially recognised at fair value. Any difference between the initial recognition and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and subsequently is amortised in profit or loss as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’ over the period of circulation using the effective interest method.
-
C. The embedded conversion options which meet the definition of an equity instrument are initially recognised in ‘capital surplus—share options’ at the residual amount of total issue price less the amount of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and bonds payable as stated above. Conversion options are not subsequently remeasured.
-
D. Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are allocated to each liability or equity component in proportion to the initial carrying amount of each abovementioned item.
-
E. When bondholders exercise conversion options, the liability component of the bonds (including bonds payable and ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’) shall be remeasured on the conversion date. The issuance cost of converted common shares is the total book value of the abovementioned liability component and ‘capital surplus—share options’.

(25) Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expired.
(26) Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
-
B. Pensions
-
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
-
(b) Defined benefit plans
-
i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in these corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
-
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
-
iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
-
-
C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
- (27) Employee share based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments
~126~
that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(28) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
-
C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
(29) Share capital
-
A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
-
B. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
(30) Dividends
Shareholders’ dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities. Stock dividends recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(31) Revenue recognition
Sales of goods
~127~
-
A. The Group manufactures and sells press machines and products for automobiles and motorcycles. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customers, the customers have full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customers’ acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customers, and either the customers have accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
-
B. The goods are often sold with volume discounts based on aggregate sales over a 12-month period. Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated sales returns and allowances. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the sales returns and allowances, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The estimation is subject to an assessment at each reporting date. A refund liability is recognised for expected sales returns and allowances payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 91 to 180 days, which is consistent with the market practice, so the contract does not contain a significant financing component.
-
C. The Group’s obligation to provide a refund for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.
-
D. A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
(32) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker. The Group’s Chief Operating Decision-Maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Critical judgements, estimates and assumptions concerning uncertainties are addressed below:
(33) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

-
(c) The conversion price of the bonds is set up based on the pricing model in the terms of the bonds (the conversion price was NT$47.8 per share), and is subject to adjustments if the condition of the anti-dilution provisions occurs subsequently. The conversion price will be reset based on the pricing model in the terms of the bonds on each effective date regulated by the terms. If the reset conversion price is higher than the conversion price before the reset, the conversion price will not be adjusted.
-
(d) The bondholders have the right to require the Company to redeem any bonds at the price of the bonds’ face value plus 1% of the face value as interests upon two years from the issue date.
-

As of December 31, 2019, capital surplus—share options amounted to $8,337. The call options and put options embedded in bonds payable were separated from their host contracts and were recognised in ‘financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’ in net amount in accordance with IAS 39 because the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives were not closely related to those of the host contracts. The effective interest rate of the bonds payable after such separation was 2.41%.

Increase in other liabilities: Mainly due to the recognition of lease liabilities by IFRS 16 from 2019. 3. Increase in total liabilities: Mainly due to the recognition of lease liabilities by IFRS 16 from 2019. 4. The increase in the exchange difference in the conversion of financial statements of foreign operating institutions is mainly due to the depreciation of RMB against Taiwan dollars in 2019. |

| Where the difference exceeds 20% and the amount is changed for NT$ 10,000,000, the analysis is |
| as follow: |
| 1. Gross operating profit, net operating profit, before-tax profit and loss of continuing business |
| departments and decrease in net profit in the current period: The main reason is that the |
| operating revenue from China's automobile market in 2019 decreased by about 14.36%, and |
| the operating revenue of machinery and equipment decreased by about 41.65%. Customers |
| need to digest inventory and wait for industrial recovery, resulting in a decrease in the |
| operating revenue of the Company by NT$396,162,000 or about 18%, while the maintenance |
| of fixed manufacturing expenses led to a decrease in the gross profit rate. All these factors led |
| to the decline of gross operating profit, net operating profit, before-tax profit, and loss of |
| continuing business departments and net profit of the current period compared with the same |
| period of last year. |
| 2. Increase in other comprehensive losses: Mainly due to an increase in the exchange difference |
| on the conversion of financial statements of foreign operating institutions in the current |
| period. |
- (II) Expected future sales volume and basis
Based on customers' estimated demand, and in viewing of capacity planning and past business experience, the Company set annual shipment target.
- (III) The Impact on the Company's future financial business and response plan
The Company is still in the growth stage of the industry, meanwhile, the Company will pay attention to market demand changes all the time, the development of new customers to enhance the Company's profits, continuing to maintain a stable and well financial situation.

(III) The investment plan for the coming year
-
The Company has stepped into the medical equipment market in recent years.
-
According to the data of the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, the scale of the global medical equipment market in 2019 reached US$411.6 billion, 5.77% higher than that in 2018. The preferential tax rate and deregulation on the medical materials industry in the United States will effectively promote the development of the industry. In developed countries and China, the population aging speed will accelerate, and the population of chronic diseases caused by the change of life style and the increasingly serious environmental pollution will increase, which will respectively make the demand of mobile medical aids and physiological monitoring system grow significantly. In addition, emerging countries continue to strengthen their basic medical construction, and will therefore have a significant demand for medical devices and equipment. For example, China continues to implement the "2030 Healthy China" strategy to substantially improve the level of medical facilities in the second and third tier urban hospitals in China. BMI Research points out that the global medical material market will reach US$425.3 billion in 2020. With excellent press and cold forming technology, the company not only reduces the environmental pollution caused by the production process, but also effectively improves the product precision and production efficiency. It is expected that the company will enter the supply chain of the manufacturer to cooperate with the internationally renowned big factories in the production of medical equipment, which will contribute to business growth. Besides, the developed sterilizing box for medical devices has obtained hospital orders from Taiwanese foundations this year. Chinese and Korean markets also continue to cooperate with agents, which are expected to bring more profits to the Company.

The Group has more than two suppliers of major raw materials and maintains a good cooperative relationship to ensure the flexibility of procurement and disperse the source of purchase.
- The risks associated with any concentration of sales operations, and measures to be adopted in response
The Group mainly produces and sells automobiles and motorcycle components and press production line machine. The majority of customers are international well-known enterprises and their subsidiaries, among which the sales amount to the largest customer of automotive components accounts for more than 30% of the annual net sales. The main reason is that automotive industry is a closed market controlled by minority of companies, and the entry barrier is high. Moreover, in order to control the quality of product, most of automotive enterprises have their long-term stable cooperative suppliers, so it is industry characteristic that the concentration of sales among the world’s top automotive components manufacturers.

Since the Group was established, the operation strategy, business experience and industrial contacts accumulated by top management and middle manager have enabled the group to make substantial progress in business expansion. Therefore, the retention of top management and middle manager has a significant impact on the normal operation. The Group is committed to providing a competitive compensation and bonus system, supplemented by employee training, growth and promotion plans, and internal work environment improvement and optimization, to enhance the identification and coherence between top management and middle manager and the company, hence top management and middle manager are rather stable in many years.

Investors should understand and consult with professionals ensuring whether or not there is a risk that an investment in Caymen Islands will not be protected by shareholders’ equity.

| A shareholder who casts his/her/its vote in writing or by way of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have attended the said shareholders’ meeting in person. A Member who exercises his voting power at a general meeting by way of a written ballot or by electronic transmission, in Caymen Islands, shall be deemed to have appointed the chairman of the general meeting as his proxy to vote his Shares at the general meeting. Therefore, article 56 of the Articles provides that the chairman of the general meeting shall be deemed to have been appointed as proxy. |

| In case a shareholder who has exercised his/her/its voting power in writing or by way of electronic transmission intends to attend the shareholders' meeting in person, he/she/it shall, two days prior to the meeting date of the scheduled shareholders' meeting and in the same manner previously used in exercising his/her/its voting power, serve a separate declaration of intention to rescind his/her/its previous declaration of intention made in exercising the voting power under the preceding Paragraph Two. In the absence of a timely rescission of the previous declaration of intention, the voting power exercised in writing or by way of electronic transmission shall prevail. |
In Ogier's opinion, to the best of his knowledge, there are no relevant court decisions in the Cayman Islands. However, the British case (which is a persuasive case for the Cayman Islands court) held that even if the proxy was not revoked in the manner provided for in the Articles, it did not prevent the shareholder from cast the vote in person and excluding the calculation of the voting right of the entrusted agent. Article 57 of the Articles of Association of foreign issuers stipulates “In case a Member who has cast his votes by a written instrument or by way of electronic transmission intends to attend the relevant general meeting in person, he shall, at least two (2) day prior to the date of the general meeting, revoke such votes by serving a notice in the same manner as he cast such votes. In the absence of a timely revocation of such votes, such votes shall prevail. Nonetheless, a Member who attends and votes at a general meeting in person would be deemed to have revoked his prior voting instructions by a written instrument or by way of electronic transmission, notwithstanding that such shareholder has not submitted a revocation notice in accordance with this Article 57.” Which means that after Members have cast their votes by a written instrument or by way of electronic transmission, they don’t follow the rules mentioned in article 57 of Article of Association revoking such votes by serving a notice in the same manner as they cast such votes at least two days prior to the date of the general meeting, and still attend and vote at a general meeting in person. Notwithstanding that the Members have not actually sent notice of revocation, the |

One or more Members holding three percent (3%) or more of the total number of the outstanding shares continuously for a period of more than one year may request in writing the Supervisor to file, on behalf of the Company, an action against a Director, and Taiwan Taipei District Court of the R.O.C shall be the court of competent jurisdiction for the first instance. 2. If the supervisor does not file a lawsuit within 30 days after the request is filed by the shareholders, shareholders may file a lawsuit for the company, and Taiwan Taipei District Court of the R.O.C shall be the court of competent jurisdiction for the first instance. |
The Company does not have supervisors as it is foreign issuer. Therefore, according to Company Act, the regulation that the minority shareholders request the supervisor to file a lawsuit against the director, the Company can replace the supervisor listed in the left column with an independent director. On the basis of article 85 of Articles of Association, minority Members request the Board to authorise any Independent Director to file, on behalf of the foreign issuers’, an action against a Director who has, in the course of performing his/her duties, committed any act resulting in damage to the Company or in violation of the Law, the Applicable Listing Rules or these Articles, with a competent court, including the Taiwan Taipei District Court of the R.O.C. |
