Business Report

The world was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic recession in 2020. The pandemic in Taiwan was properly controlled and the domestic market demand was with a stable momentum, added with the relevant stimuli measures provided by the government and the retaliatory consumption booms, resulting in home appliance sales growth. The company’s product sales are satisfactory owing to the proper internal resource integration and sales strategies. Also, the gains from the investment in other industries and the profits from the disposal of assets have helped make the overall operating income and profits better than expected.

SAMPO CORPORATION focuses not only on sales performance but also on developing brands and consumers in various ways to help make the brand name well-known. In addition to receiving the Golden Merchant Awards this year, which is the highest honor in Taiwan’s business community, the company has not forgotten the benevolent spirit of the founder, Mr. Chen, Maobang, that is, “feedback to the society,” and continues to promote charity activities. The 2020 business operation and the 2021 business plan are as follows:

I. Business result in 2020

(1) Implementation of operational plan:

The company’s consolidated operating income was NT$767,002 million in 2020, an increase of 7.8% from the year of 2019. The consolidated operating net income was NT$52,731 million, an increase of NT$22,951 million from the year of 2019.The consolidated net income was NT$183,600 million, an increase of NT$106,314 million from the year of 2019.

The ending cash and cash equivalents decreased by NT$33,049 million, and the balance of cash and cash equivalents wasNT$83,405 million.

  • (3) Profitability analysis:

  • 23 -

  • (4) Research and development:

The company invested NT$9,932 million in consolidated research and development for the year of 2020. The company continued to conduct product research and development for an integrated design, such as, frequency conversion technology, sterilization technology, energy saving and carbon reduction, and the Internet of Things (IoT) for smart home appliances. Continue the innovation of products and technologies, such as, NANO-TI aurora titanium antibacterial refrigerator, Pico pure Nano water ion washing machine, smart inverter air conditioner, and quantum dot QLED display, etc.

The company had outperformed other local branding companies in Taiwan last year and was awarded with the “2020 Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands” three gold awards in the home appliance category (the “Sampo Washing Machine” and “Oven, Microwave” were awarded for two consecutive years). The “Sampo Big/Fresh Refrigerator” was awarded for the first time this year. The company intends to research, develop, and manufacture more MIT products to meet the needs of consumers.

II. Summary of business plan in 2021

  • (1) Operating strategy:

  • SAMPO CORPORATION was incorporated in 1936 for the production and service of digital home appliance, and is committed to the research and development of high-quality and high-tech home appliances. At the same time, integrates marketing, logistics, after-sales service, and e- commerce platforms to provide consumers with one-stop service and to become the leading brand in Taiwan’s home appliance market.

SAMPO makes “sincerity,“ “team,“ and “innovation” its core value and truly believes that “talents” are the key to the sustainable operation of an enterprise. Base on the spirit of “humanity” to treat employees with sincerity and care, to form loyalty to the organization, and to create a harmonious working environment with harmonious labor-management relations.

  • (2) Expected sales volume:

The introduction of new products and a diversified sales model are the key to the sales growth of the company. In terms of products, the company believes in introducing innovative technology, popular cosmetic design, and tailor-made home appliances for Taiwanese consumers. Under the influence of the pandemic, consumers are becoming aware of home environment and health; therefore, the demand for clean and healthy home appliances is increasing significantly, which will also help increase the sales volume in the future.

  • 24 -

The sales model is favorable to the young people. More comprehensive integrated marketing, such as, proprietary online sales, informercial programs, heterogeneous advertising cooperation, and experience sharing and recommendation, will successfully attract consumers’ attention, increase sales momentum, and promote overall sales performance to grow.

  • (3) Important production and marketing policies:

The core competence of SAMPO is to stay “close to the market.” The completion of the Tainan plant allows Sampo to uphold the spirit of focusing more on “MIT” local operation, from product research and development, design and production, transportation and logistics, installation services, etc., and to provide a total solution starting from fulfilling local demands. The investment in new plants, new equipment and new products helps accelerate the balance of supplies and services to the North-South distributors, provide a faster and more complete sales network, and have SAMPO’s products distributed across Taiwan. Current market demand is constantly diversified and fragmented. The company exercises its transformation ability to meet market demand differentiation in products and services. In terms of product innovation, observer market changes, adjust the pace of promoting product innovation and brand rejuvenation, and extend brand loyalty. In terms of sales channels, actively assists distributors to change and grow; also, expands other physical channels and virtual e-commerce platforms, fast-growing micro-channels, diversified marketing methods, and other sales channels.

  • (4) The influence of the external competition environment, the legal environment, and the macroeconomic environment:

  • External competition environment: The third brand has been taking up market share in Taiwan with a very low price in the recent years, and major Chinese manufacturers, such as, Midea and Gree, have also actively participated in market competition. While facing severe external challenges, the company, on one hand, is more actively seeking external cooperation channels with the intention of jointly forming a national air-conditioning team in order to jointly develop a new generation of air-conditioning products. Actively acquire the resources related to the government’s policies of supporting local enterprises in order to strengthen the competitiveness of SAMPO’s air-conditioning business.

On the other hand, SAMPO continues to develop market in Taiwan that is different from the practice of competitors by increasing outsourcing to reduce costs. The completion of the Tainan factory that cost the company’s hundreds of millions of dollars is officially

  • 25 -

in service this year with new manufacturing equipment invested, production efficiency improved, and high value-added home appliances developed specially for Taiwan continuously.

  1. Regulatory environment: The stimuli check campaign and goods tax relief and subsidies program were officially launched in the second half of the last year. SAMPO also responded to the government’s stimuli check policy with a lot of resources invested in publicity so to enhance consumer’s buying power with many activities arranged. The government urges the public to save power consumption that will continue to drive the rapid growth of energy-saving home appliances.

  2. Macroeconomic environment: The industry in Taiwan was seriously affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic last year. Fortunately, the demand for the air-conditioner and pandemic-related products of the home appliance industry was fueled by hot weather and the launch of stimuli checks. The sales major home appliances brands increased significantly from the same period of last year. Although the COVID-19 pandemic remains severe worldwide, the relation of Sino-USA under the Biden administration is easing up along with the successful development of the vaccine. The economic activities in Taiwan continue to be active, and the domestic market remains promising under the precondition of no global traveling in the near future.

  3. (5) The company’s future development strategy:

  4. Deepen the development of distributors and form loyalty: SAMPO and its distribution partners are a “unity” and an alliance. The company is able to generate more profits and expand market share only by continuing to work hard and grow together with distribution partners.

  5. The Tainan plant starts production and improves operational efficiency: The Tainan plant is fully constructed, so the company will actively deploy production line relocation to balance north-south distribution services. The company has demonstrated its determination to operate with the deployment of production lines. At present, more than 90% of Sampo washing machines and refrigerators are awarded with the MIT Smile Mark. The “Made in Taiwan” effort demonstrates our commitments to quality, technology, and speed that provide more protections to consumers and distribution systems.

  6. Grasp business opportunities and increase product values: The raw materials costs and sea and air freight charges have increased significantly since last year; therefore, all home appliances makers

  7. 26 -

have been under the pressure of high costs. The price increase of commodities in this year is observable. Facing the price increase of international raw materials and freight, SAMPO will use its advantage in manufacturing to increase the value of products to feedback to consumers.

  1. Develop market opportunities and improve company performance: The company uses SAP ERP system to fully promote the company’s digital transformation, hoping to create a high-efficiency and intelligent operation model in order to effectively improve personnel efficiency and decision-making quality. The company will continue to uphold the core values of “brand,” “access,” and “service” to integrate the Group’s resources and distribution channels, to deepen the domestic market, and develop new blue ocean strategic business opportunities. This is our opportunity to make SAMPO great again.

Although there remain many crises and variables in operation this year, the company continues to uphold a positive and optimistic attitude to work together conquering the difficulties and developing Taiwan in-depth and feedback to this beautiful place with love and care. Develop the science and technology park, logistics, catering, and senior citizen home along with the construction of the corporate headquarters to complete the business territory. SAMPO aims to gradually achieve the goal of “leading the trend of home appliances and creating new trend for the industry” and truly achieve the goal of “2021, No. 1 in Taiwan” in order to live up to the expectations of all employees and investors.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that and audit conducted in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Material misstatement could arise from fraud or errors. If fraud or errors are considered materials, 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.

The independent auditors when conducting the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards shall exercise professional judgment and maintain professional suspicion. The independent auditors also perform the following tasks:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design, and perform audit procedures responsive risks, and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion. Fraud may involve conspiracy, forgery, deliberate omission, false declaration, or violation of internal control; therefore, the risk of material misstatement arising from fraud is higher than that caused by error.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit

  3. 30 -

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control effective in SAMPO GROUP.

  1. Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made.

  2. Conclude the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the management, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on SAMPO GROUP 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 disclosure are inappropriate, to modify our opinion. The conclusion of the independent auditors is based on the audit evidence obtained as of the audit report date. However, future events or conditions may cause SAMPO GROUP to cease as a going concern.

  3. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated statements, including related notes, whether the consolidated statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a matter that achieves fair presentation.

  4. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of business entities within the Group in order to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The independent auditor is responsible for guiding, supervising, and implementing the audit of the Group; also, is responsible for forming an opinion on the audit of the Group.

We communicate with those in charge of 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 in charge of governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, (related safeguards).

From the matters communicated with those in charge of governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2020 consolidated financial statements of SAMPO GROUP and are therefore the key audit matters. The independent auditors shall state the key audit matters in the audit report except for the specific matters prohibited from being disclosed by law and regulations, or, in rare cases, where the independent auditor decides not to have specific matters communicated in the audit report since the negative effect of such disclosure can be reasonably expected to be greater than the increase of public interest.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To SAMPO CORPORATION:

Auditor’s opinions

We have audited the accompanying individual balance sheets of SAMPO CORPORATION as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related statements of income, retained earnings, cash flows and notes (including the summary of major accounting policies) to the financial statements for the years then ended.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SAMPO CORPORATION as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms.” Basis of an audit opinion

We concluded our 2020 audits in accordance with the regulations governing auditing and attestation of financial statements by certified public accountants and generally accepted auditing standards. We concluded our 2019 audits in accordance with the regulations governing auditing and attestation of financial statements by certified public accountants, Financial Supervisor Commission’s letter Jing-Guan-Zheng-Shen-Zi No. 1090360805 dated February 25, 2020, and generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities of auditors for the audit of the separate financial statements. We are independent of SAMPO CORPORATION in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 2020 individual financial statements of SAMPO CORPORATION. These matters were addressed in the content of our audit of the individual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on those matters.

Key audit matters of the 2020 individual financial statements of SAMPO CORPORATION are as follows:

Key Audit Matter: Authenticity of sales to hypermarket channels

For 2020, SAMPO CORPORATION’s revenues from sales to major hypermarkets is a key indicator used by management to evaluate business performance, and the effect of the recognition of related revenues on the financial statements is material. Therefore, we have determined that the recognition of the aforementioned operating revenues is a key audit matter and the related accounting policies are described in Note 4(14) to the individual financial statements.

Our auditing procedures with respect to the above matter are as follows:

  1. Understood, evaluated and tested the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system related to revenue recognition.

  2. In order to confirm the authenticity of the revenue, we obtained the sales revenue details of the hypermarket channel in 2020, sampled and verified original sales orders, shipping

  3. 41 -

documents and invoices of the relevant transactions, and reconciled them with the recorded amounts in the accounting books.

  1. Obtained the details of sales returns and discounts for the subsequent period from the hypermarket channel, sampled and verified the relevant certificates of sales returns and discounts, and examined the reasonableness of the returns and discounts.

Responsibilities of Management and Those in Charge with Governance of the Individual Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of individual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the individual financial statements, the management is also responsible for assessing the ability of SAMPO CORPORATION as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to a going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. Unless the management either intends to liquidate SAMPO CORPORATION or to cease operations, or has no other realistic alternative but to do so.

Those in charge of governance (including the Auditing Committee) are responsible for overseeing the reporting process of the financial statements of SAMPO CORPORATION.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue and auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that and audit conducted in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Material misstatement could arise from fraud or errors. If fraud or errors are considered materials, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these individual financial statements.

The independent auditors when conducting the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards shall exercise professional judgment and maintain professional suspicion. The independent auditors also perform the following tasks:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design, and perform audit procedures responsive risks, and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion. Fraud may involve conspiracy, forgery, deliberate omission, false declaration, or violation of internal control; therefore, the risk of material misstatement arising from fraud is higher than that caused by error.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control effective in SAMPO CORPORATION.

  3. Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made.

  4. Conclude the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the management, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on SAMPO CORPORATION 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 individual financial statements or, if such disclosure are inappropriate, to modify our

  5. 42 -

opinion. The conclusion of the independent auditors is based on the audit evidence obtained as of the audit report date. However, future events or conditions may cause SAMPO CORPORATION to cease as a going concern.

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the individual statements, including related notes, whether the individual statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a matter that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of business entities within SAMPO CORPORATION in order to express an opinion on the individual financial statements. The independent auditor is responsible for guiding, supervising, and implementing the audit and also is responsible for forming an opinion on the audit of SAMPO CORPORATION.

We communicate with those in charge of 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 in charge of governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, (related safeguards).

From the matters communicated with those in charge of governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2020 individual financial statements of SAMPO CORPORATION and are therefore the key audit matters. The independent auditors shall state the key audit matters in the audit report except for the specific matters prohibited from being disclosed by law and regulations, or, in rare cases, where the independent auditor decides not to have specific matters communicated in the audit report since the negative effect of such disclosure can be reasonably expected to be greater than the increase of public interest.
