I Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders:

The competition in the global pharmaceutical market is still fierce, and the consolidation between various types of pharmaceutical companies in the world continues to increase. ScinoPharm effectively leverages its existing competitive advantages and accurately grasps market development trend to formulate a more flexible sales strategy that will enable ScinoPharm to maintain its operating stability in the turbulent atmosphere of the market. At the same time, ScinoPharm also increases the intensity of internal control to continuously optimize the process, accurately calculate its costs and expenses, comprehensively assess the appropriateness of resource allocation, and strive to overcome the impact on its revenue due to unclear market prospects and uncertainties.

In 2018, the company’s consolidated annual revenue was NT$3.524 billion, the net profit after tax was NT$443 million, and the after-tax earnings per share was NT$0.56. By the end of 2018, the company's paid-in capital was NT$7.907 billion, shareholders' equity was NT$10.54 billion, accounting for 84% of total assets of NT$12.56 billion. The long-term capital was 2.23 times that of the fixed assets, with the current ratio of 3.34. The financial structure was stable and sound.

Working toward the goal of becoming a full-scale pharmaceutical company

From the overall performance of the previous year, the APIs for the Generic Drug still account for more than 60% of the performance. Some APIs for the Generic Drug include: the APIs for the colorectal cancer drugs that continue to have demand and increasing demand for other anti-cancer APIs, which makes up for the impact of the reduction in demand for Paclitaxel. Meanwhile, the importance of the Japanese market is increased and its performance has slightly eased the sales pressure brought by other markets. In the business of CDMO, the overall performance is good, as there has been improvement in the ratio of the total revenue. At the end of 2017, the customer's new antibiotic drug, Baxdela™, was approved by the U.S. FDA as a new antibiotic drug product launch for treatment of infectious diseases. Last year, it became an important product for ScinoPharm, as it brought in considerable revenue for ScinoPharm. Besides, as the shipment of intermediate products for clinical use continues, it also helps to stabilize its overall sales.

In recent years, it has been effective for ScinoPharm to engage in the business of making injectable formulations based on the Generic Drug. The anti-blood cancer generic drug developed in cooperation with a major pharmaceutical company, Sagent, has received an approval and thereby been ready for sale in the United States at the beginning of last year. It has become the first injectable formulation product to bring in a profit. Regarding another self-developed anticoagulant product that used the highly difficult synthetic technology, Fondaparinux Sodium, ScinoPharm had signed a deal and authorized an Indian International pharmaceutical company to sell the product. This product has officially obtained regulatory approval in the US. It is expected that in addition to sales in the US, this product will be sold in emerging markets, and it is expected that ScinoPharm will further expand its sales network in the future.

Strengthening internal control and accelerates the strategic deployment

ScinoPharm continues to reasonably accelerate the process of product development by optimizing the process, controlling the costs and improving the management efficiency. And ScinoPharm also actively cooperates with global strategic partners to accelerate its transformation into a differential pharmaceutical company of special dosage forms. At the same time, ScinoPharm also actively expands the business of CDMO for its customers and improves the utilization of its capacity. The self-built injectable plant adopts a quality-oriented and diversified production method. ScinoPharm will complete the registration batch according to the scheduled time, send out the self-produced ANDA injection products, and drive the Taiwan FDA to conduct on-site inspection to in turn drive up its revenue.

ScinoPharm has also achieved fruitful results in establishing its own technologies. ScinoPharm obtained a total of 805 drug master files (DMFs) worldwide by the end of 2018. 60 DMFs were registered in the United States, and up to 31 DMFs were about anti-cancer products. The patent applications have also yielded fruitful results. A total of 61 inventions have obtained 361 patents worldwide, and a total of 81 patent applications for its inventions are under review.

~1~

Mastering the competitive advantages of ScinoPharm (Changshu) and actively seeking international strategic partners

As China accelerates the reform of the pharmaceutical system and actively seeks to fully integrate with advanced countries on the institutional level, it is also sufficient to show China's emphasis on drug review. Under the huge changes on the regulatory level, ScinoPharm’s subsidiary in Jiangsu, ScinoPharm (Changshu), is still not as fast as expected in terms of its business progress. Last year, ScinoPharm (Changshu) re-examined and constructed different development plans and conducted internal mobilization. At present, it also actively excludes uncertain factors in the development process and gradually achieves the staged goals in line with the Company's expectations. In the short-term, ScinoPharm (Changshu) will work hard to develop projects that can increase capacity utilization. ScinoPharm will also explore international strategic partners that can combine the competitive advantages of both parties, seek more business opportunities in CDMO, and strive to accelerate the pace of operation of ScinoPharm (Changshu).

Inheriting high standards of quality management and setting off to realize the corporate philosophy of pursuing excellence

Setting off a manufacturer of the APIs for the anti-cancer drug, ScinoPharm has strictly abided by international cGMP manufacturing specifications for more than 20 years and used its strengths to provide the high-quality APIs, and has been repeatedly recognized by the authorities of pharmaceutical affairs in Taiwan, Europe, America and Japan through field inspections. Last year, for the 2nd time, it successfully passed the GMP field inspections by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) as an Independent Administrative Corporation in Japan, and for the 5th time, passed the field inspection by the Mexican Authority of Pharmaceutical Affairs (COFEPRIS), which served as an important indicator of ScinoPharm's quality assurance. ScinoPharm has always been committed to improving corporate governance while assuming the corporate social responsibility (CSR). Last year, ScinoPharm obtained Taiwan's “2018 Excellence in CSR Award” by CommonWealth Magazine, which affirmed ScinoPharm's performance in corporate commitment, social participation, environmental protection and corporate governance. In the same year, in the 4th corporate governance evaluation by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, it was one of the top 5% listed companies, and also the only biotech company among the top 5% listed companies.

Pursuing for excellence and emphasizing the professional management attitude

Since its establishment, ScinoPharm Taiwan has established its reputation in the international anti-cancer API market with its rigorous attitude and professional ability. It has rich experience and the ability to provide high-quality products and become a reliable partner of its customers. ScinoPharm continuously improves the overall profitability of APIs for the Generic Drug, and also successfully expands its business sales reach into the field of injectable product. Meanwhile, ScinoPharm will also make good use of strategic alliances to develop alliance partners for the pharmaceutical injectable formulation business to obtain the multiple benefits from the cooperative business model. In the business of CDMO, ScinoPharm will continue to invest in various projects that have been cultivated for many years, consolidate the cooperation with existing customers, and develop new business opportunities that may create profits.

ScinoPharm will continue to optimize its product assortment, strengthen risk management and enhance internal operational efficiency. In the fiercely competitive market, it will also grasp the trends and market opportunities in the global pharmaceutical industry, hoping to continuously improve operational efficiency and profitability. In addition, ScinoPharm will faithfully fulfill the corporate social responsibility with concrete actions, return the support of shareholders, and have a positive impact on society. Finally, ScinoPharm would like to thank its customers, shareholders and dedicated employees for their long-standing support. ScinoPharm hereby expresses sincere gratitude!

Chih-Hsien Lo, Chairman

4.1.6 Dividend Policy and Implementation Status

  • 4.1.6.1 Dividend Policy:

  • Since the business environment has been changing enormously, and ScinoPharm is experiencing the steadily growth, the annual earnings distribution should be considered in terms of future capital budget, long-term investment, and business funding needs, etc. in order to determine the amount to be retained of distributed as stock dividend or cash dividend.

If there are earnings for distribution at the end of each fiscal year, after offsetting any loss of prior year(s) and paying all taxes and dues, 10% of the remaining net earnings shall be set aside as legal reserve, then would be appropriated as special reserve in accordance with Securities Exchange Law. The remaining net earnings can be distributed together with prion accumulated unappropriated retained earnings. The Board of Directors will consider the factors that were mentioned above to make the dividend distribution proposal. The dividend should be set in the range from 50% to 100% of the accumulated unappropriated retained earnings and the amount of cash dividend shall exceed 30% of the total amount of dividends distribution. The dividends could be distributed in accordance with the resolution that is approved by the Board of Directors and the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

5.1.1.3 Categories of services available currently

ScinoPharm Taiwan Ltd. was set up to provide active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing services to the global generic drug makers initially. Powered by its maturing analytic capability, organic synthesizing techniques, and its engagement in special synthetic technology for different therapeutic areas, ScinoPharm is currently able to provide small molecular drugs, complex natural molecules and its derivatives, synthesis services for major biochemistry molecules such as peptides and nucleic acids, as well as customized manufacturing process development from process research to commercial production and to subcontract manufacturing. The company has also continued to expand its business lines to include the offerings of injection drugs and related services. The main results are summarized as follows:

  • A. In-house developed APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) categorized by purpose:

  • Cancer-related application APIs totaling thirty-five items.

  • Central nervous system-related application APIs totaling thirteen items.

  • Cardiovascular-related application APIs totaling six items.

  • Infection-related application APIs totaling six items.

  • Genitourinary-related application APIs totaling two items.

  • Respiratory system-related application APIs totaling two items.

  • Ophthalmology-related application APIs totaling three items.

  • APIs for other applications totaling five items.

~106~

  • B. Customized development and subcontract production of APIs:

  • Commercialized production of APIs totaling six items (four of them are new drugs).

  • APIs under phase III clinical trials totaling eight items.

  • C. Development and manufacturing services for injection drugs:

While already being a leading provider of oncological APIs to regulated markets worldwide as far as product categories and customer base are concerned, ScinoPharm has been driven by factors including increasing demand from the injectable product manufacturing industry in recent years and market research feedbacks from global clients to implement a downward integration strategy by setting up an injectable product plant at its existing Tainan production base to provide one-stop service from API research to injectable production to clients. The company has completed the development of two injection drugs in dosage form and has also applied for a drug permit license each via a cooperation model. One of the two injectables is dedicated to cancer-related applications and the other is for cardiovascular-related applications. ScinoPharm can provide customized development and subcontract production for injection drugs once the injectable plant commences its official operations and will also offer injection drugs in dosage form later.

5.1.2 Industry Overview

  • 5.1.2.1 Current Situation and Future Development of the Industry According to US Department of Commerce, the global drug market value will increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% to US$1.3 trillion in 2020. The market value in the US will grow at CAGR of 5.6% to US$320 billion in 2020, while CAGR for the Japan market, the third largest one around the world, is about 3%. Despite political and economic uncertainties around the world, small growth in global population (an estimated CAGR of 1.24% until 2030) and significant growth in global elderly population (the population proportion for aged 65-80 will rise from 22% in 2000 to 28% in 2030) will make the global drug market keep increasing.

~107~

Almost every country has been under pressure of medical budgets and spending, and legitimate pricing for pharmaceuticals is in continued discussion and always controversial. So far, international pharmaceutical manufacturers have widely differed in concept and method of how to reach balance among value standard, drug price, sales volume and sustainable marketing.

The US in 1984 enacted Hatch-Waxman Act (informal for Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act), driving development of generic drug markets around the world. Many countries, under pressure of medical budgets, have therefore amended regulations concerned and proposed plans to boost marketing and use of generic drugs to decrease medical spending by the public and private sectors, with Japan being a successful case. According to US-based IMS Health, developed countries' total spending on generic drugs took up 28.8% of total drug spending in 2016 and the proportion is forecast to rise to 31% in 2021.

Heating competition for generic drugs has resulted in pharmaceutical manufacturing industry' demand for management of supply chains and quick time-to-market. In order to control production cost and spread risks, procurement of APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) is on the rise and shift from production of pharmaceuticals in North America and West Europe to outsourced production in East Europe and Asia is increasing. In particular, the API market has been in intense competition, with global market vale estimated to rise to US$213.9 billion in 2021.

  • 5.1.2.3 Global development trend and competition of the industry of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

  • A. Outsourcing trend for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients of new drugs Demands of preparations companies for active pharmaceutical ingredients can be classified, according to production and supply methods, into own production for own use and outsourcing production. Although majority of major international patented drug companies tend to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients for own use by themselves, for better grip of quality and time, they are intensifying focus on R&D, sales, and market grasp for new drugs, in order to speed up rollout of new drugs, in order to cope with threat of generic drugs and uphold market shares. In view of lesser role of active pharmaceutical ingredients in their profits and in order to massive capital outlays for plant production, growing numbers of major international patented drug companies have outsourced production of active pharmaceutical ingredients. By contrast, majority of smaller patented drug companies have outsourced production of active pharmaceutical ingredients for different

~108~

stages of new-drug development, including R&D and clinical tests. The outsourcing trend has been intensified by the following objective conditions:

  • 1) With timing of marketing of NCEs (new chemical entities) being the primary concern of patented drug companies, outsourcing of production can shorten R&D process and advance materialization of extra revenue and profit.

  • 2) Outsourcing production for active pharmaceutical ingredients can reserve limited resources for R&D and production with higher priorities, thereby maximizing profits.

  • 3) Joint development of products and division of labor in mass production can lower production cost.

  • 4) Outsourcing-production firms can cut cost, via economy of scale and form an industrial chain for higher efficiency, while patented drug companies can maintain flexible operation, in line with market needs.

  • B. Trend of the market and competition of active pharmaceutical ingredients of generic drugs Since Hatch-Waxman Act cane into effect, the procedures for applying for generic drug licenses and launching such drugs have been much simplified and thus the time taken has been increasingly shortened. Therefore, the quicker the supply of APIs used to produce generic drugs, the more business opportunities the suppliers have.

Meanwhile, as for legal requirement of quality, member countries of ICH have substituted knowledge-based risk-management mode for inspection-based quality-control mode, with the U.S. even replacing past practice of itemized inspection with question-based inspection. Therefore, generic-drug companies must have more precise grip of quality of pharmaceuticals. Accordingly, suppliers of active pharmaceutical ingredients have to make concerted effort with generic-drug firms in upgrading quality-control system, so that quality concern would not cause delay in the obtaining of generic-drug licenses. Quality has become prerequisite for suppliers of active pharmaceutical ingredients in landing orders.

Studies show that in one year after the first generic drug maker launched products, the number of newcomers is almost twice that of original generic drug makers in the initial period. Along with increasing competition is increasing demand for lowering cost, and therefore makers of APIs used to produce generic drugs have to not only supply quality APIs as early as possible but also be competitive in price.

Under pressure of earlier supply of APIs of better quality at lower prices, API makers should be more dedicated to R&D and strive to protect intellectual properties to keep business growth in supply chains of APIs used to generic drugs.

5.1.3 Technology and R&D status

5.1.3.1 Technological level and R&D for the engaged businesses

As for registered inspection files necessary for entering highly regulated markets, such as the U.S. and Europe, the company had registered 60 DMFs (Drug Master Files) with the U.S. FDA as of the end of December 2018, on top of 24 EDMFs (European DMFs) in some 30 European countries, including CEP (COS) for 18 products, applicable in the European Union. Worldwide, the company has made 805 drug registrations and number of its DMFs will increase further yearly, along with increase of the company's product development items and the need of customers in drug marketing.

As for intellectual properties, except patents no longer being upheld by the company due to irrelevance to the company's long-term development, the company now owns 62 inventions, as well as 438 patents worldwide (as shown in the table below). As for technologies needed for mass production of peptide, in addition to the use of solid-phase synthesizing machine, the company has also established technological platform for semi-solid phase synthesis. The company can flexibly embrace either of the two technologies, both fit for cGMP production, according to the features of needed peptide, giving it an extra adaptability and response capability.

5.1.4 Long-term and Short-term Development

In product marketing, the company targets both near- and long-term markets. Upon its inception, the company focused on solicitation of generic-drug pharmaceutical firms and patented drug firms as customers. Along with enhancement of R&D and production capability, as well as changes in market demand, the company has considerably expanded its customer base. Based on the mutual trust with customers built up over the past years, the company has established a business development division, in charge of joint development of products with customers under a strategic alliance, so as combine the R&D on active pharmaceutical ingredients in the upstream sector and preparations in the downstream sector, creating even greater benefits. Meanwhile, in practice select niche products from the angles of intellectual properties, technologies, and markets, so as to boost the market value of end products. In addition, backed by its existing technological prowess and service quality, the company is capable of providing process R&D and cGMP manufacturing service to pharmaceutical firms. It can carry out outsourcing manufacturing for new-drug pharmaceutical companies, functioning as their important partners. To maximize profits for the company, shareholders, and employees, as well as care for both near- and long-term benefits, the company seek, in line with market demands, business development according to the following strategies:

--Near term:

Cautiously select active pharmaceutical ingredients for development, to meet the needs of generic-drug companies, and clinical-test drugs with potential, from the angle of functional mechanism, to meet the needs of patented-drug pharmaceutical firms for outsourcing manufacturing, so as to augment benefits in the future.

Take advantage of the expanded capacities of Taiwan's Tainan plant and mainland China's Changshu plant to expand business volume and high-quality custom services.

Via strategic alliance, jointly develop, on one hand, drugs with downstream preparations companies, using developed active pharmaceutical ingredients, and new derivatives of developed active pharmaceutical ingredients, from the perspective of preparations companies, so as to pocket maximum benefits.

  • --Medium term:

Take advantage of the new injection-drug plant in Taiwan to augment the added value of ScinoPharm's active pharmaceutical ingredients for anti-cancer drugs and satisfy the need of the company's customers for one-stop shopping service.

Utilize production lines in China, ready for operation now, to augment ScinoPharm's capacity in supplying to the needs of the global market, and join hands with strategic partners to accelerate development, in compliance with Chinese laws/regulations, of preparations, so as to tap China's domestic market and expand output value. Join hands with Japanese customers in tapping Japan's generic-drug market and tap other emerging markets via agencies.

--Long term:

Develop complete R&D and production capability covering both active pharmaceutical ingredients and injection drugs and cooperate with special-drug R&D units in foraying into quasi-new drug market.

Contents and fruits for the utilization of the aforementioned strategies follow:

~122~

  • (1) Markets of generic drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients--customer orientation in product selection.

The company cooperates closely with generic-drug customers in pinpointing possible patent deadlines for new drugs, from the perspective of patent litigation, and selecting products with high potential, without the concern of patent infringement.

Having passed many times inspection by U.S. FDA and regulators of other developed countries, the company has obtained an branded repute for high-specifications manufacturing capability on the global market, ready to undertake outsourcing manufacturing for many patented drug companies.

Presently, ScinoPharm has formed cooperative relationship with a number of international patented drug companies, providing active pharmaceutical ingredients during the development stage for new drugs. Some of such new drugs have completed clinical tests and been approved by the U.S. FDA and other countries' regulators for marketing.

Active pharmaceutical ingredients for new drugs command higher margin than active pharmaceutical ingredients for generic drugs, although new-drug firms are more demanding in plant specifications and manufacturing process, especially for drugs meant for the U.S. and European markets. ScinoPharm is capable of meeting international standards, in terms of software/hardware, control system, analysis and design capability, technological prowess, production skills, and quality control, acquiring established repute for outsourcing manufacturing service.

  • (3) Actively expand capacity--shorten product development cycle and provide one-stop shopping service

ScinoPharm Taiwan began to build two new large-scale production lines in 2012, which already started operation in 2013. The production line of ScinoPharm (Changshu) Pharmaceuticals in China have also been completed and ready for test run in the first quarter of 2016, after passing inspection, with zero flaw, by the U.S. FDA in the fourth quarter of 2015. These production lines have strong edge in the development and manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates with higher demand. Therefore, proper arrangement of production can not only improve production process and materials management, but also provide most efficient service, in terms of time, legal compliance, and market.

As both the Tainan plant and the Changshu plant have in-house R&D centers, ScinoPharm is capable of supplying upstream key intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients,

5.2.1.2 Outlook of supply and demand in the market and growth potential

In recent years, due to increasing difficulty for new drug development and slackened sales on hefty price pressure, many pharmaceutical firms have resorted to acquisition and merger, in order to sustain growth. Via M&A, enterprises can not only obtain new technologies, new drugs, and intellectual properties but also lower the risk for new drug development. However, as M&A would affect the integration of supply chain, how to maintain the leading status for APIs and even injection pharmaceuticals amid M&As would pose as a major challenge to the company in the future.

  • Over the past years, ScinoPharm Taiwan has carved out a leading status, in terms of product variety and volume and customer service, on the global API market for cancer chemotherapy. Dividend from that status, however, has been thinning, in the wake of the emergence for new cancer therapies and the gradual maturity of biopharmaceutical (large-molecule drug) technology. Targeted drugs featuring the use of monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapy have proven to be significantly effective in tumor control. It is evident that thanks to their curative effect and low side effects, those relatively expensive large-molecule drugs will make major inroads into cancer treatment market in developed nations, at the expense of small-molecule chemotherapy drugs. Another potential approach is the coupling of small-molecule targeted drugs with molecular diagnostic technology. Compared with chemotherapy drugs, small-molecule targeted drugs are more concentrated and have to take into account tumor mutation and the use of new targets. The trend poses a major challenge to ScinoPharm Taiwan in market evaluation and product selection.

Moreover, in response to the demands of pharmaceutical firms for cancer injection drugs and strained supply of such drugs, a result of the increasingly rigorous legislative requirements worldwide which have constrained the operation of many injection-drug firms, ScinoPharm Taiwan has been endeavoring to extend its operation to injection-drug production in recent years, resulting in a vertical integration, so as to consolidate its presence on the cancer drug market.

However, with technological progress and the spread of confirmed chronic diseases, oral drugs have gradually emerged as mainstream administration of drugs. How to achieve a balance APIs in different forms and injection drugs in the allocation of limited resources will become a major issue in the development of pharmaceutical firms.

~125~

  • 5.2.1.3 Competitive niche and development outlook

The company's competitive niche lies in: 1) high-caliber R&D team: Members of the company's R&D team major in disciplines of synthesis or analysis, mostly with doctorate degree, under the leadership of veteran managers. It is the most R&D team among domestic peers; 2) The company has reaped abundant R&D results, having applied for patents for 118 invention patents in countries worldwide(total 741 invention patents), of which 438 have been approved, also submitted 10 papers to academic journals, attesting to its bountiful R&D fruits; 3) complete production facilities: For the purpose of pluralized functions, the company's production lines are capable of producing highly active pharmaceutical ingredients of cellular-toxin, steroid, hormone, and anti-cancer drugs. The R&D unit is furnished with a wide range of equipment, including nuclear magnetic resonance, crystal diffractometer, and mass spectrometer, enabling the company to overcome various barriers in producing unique active pharmaceutical ingredients; 4) seasoned operating skill: With veteran experience, operators can operate efficiently and effectively utilize solvents, reducing unnecessary expenses and thereby lowering cost; 5) good product quality: Thanks to complete process norms put forth by the R&D team and strict abidance by the GMP requirements, the company has firm grip of the production flow, resulting in good quality; 6) good customer relationship and competent marketing capability: Thanks to long-standing supply, regular visits to customers for understanding their needs, and meeting of customers' emergent needs, the company has established a relationship of mutual trust with customers, facilitating works of the marketing team; 7) complete after-sales legal support: As active pharmaceutical ingredients have to be subject to the inspection of regulators, the company actively replies to the concern of inspectors about active pharmaceutical ingredients and preparations, thereby facilitating the acquisition of generic-drug licenses by customers, which also benefit the company.

In addition to the aforementioned niche, the company stresses market segmentation in development strategy, as shown in its selection of development targets:

  • A. Highly active and low toxic products

When processing highly active and low toxic chemicals, many producers of active pharmaceutical ingredients often create serious polluting and workplace-safety problems, disrupting supply to customers. ScinoPharm already installed sufficient protective facilities for highly active products from the outset at its factories. Despite the high cost for the facilities, they can augment the company's edge in producing highly actively products, such as steroid and toxic cellular compounds.

In view of the low-toxin requirement for injection drugs, the company is furnished with highly pure water supply system, capable of producing pure water similar to WFI (water for injection) in quality. As a result, ScinoPharm Taiwan's products boast very low toxin, another edge of the company. Industry insiders note that there are only a few companies capable of producing injection drugs on the market. Thanks to its manufacturing edge meeting market need, the company has been acknowledged as an injection-drug supplier, segmented from members of low-priced market. The company has become a reputed injection-drug supplier among international generic-drug pharmaceutical firms.

  • B. Raw materials/products with difficulty to obtain from supply chain To secure raw materials, the company embrace a mode similar to development of new products, wherein it join hands with long-term partners in the R&D of raw materials, to assure stable supply of raw materials for mass production. For instance, the company has signed contract with Chinese-yew (Taxus chinensis) plantation for supply of 10-DAB, contained in the plant's leaves, which is needed for producing paclitaxel and docetaxel, the company's two major products. Therefore, despite price drop of 10-DAB following increase of qualified suppliers, the company has enjoyed steady supply of the material, giving it an edge of head start.

~126~

C. Peptide

Thanks to gene sequencing, humans have more understanding of the function of genes and their association with peptide, paving the way for the rollout of more medicines containing peptide. Moreover, via constant improvement and progress in drug production, there will be increasing methods for transmission of peptide in human bodies, leading to rapid growth in the number of and demand for peptide medicines. In the past, annual market demand for peptide reached only several kilos, resulting in substantial idled capacity, a problem which has been substituted by strained capacity, thanks to rapid increase in demand in recent years. The traditional solid-phase peptide synthesis can be applied in mass production but the production equipment is expensive, on top of the high cost and disposal problem for the solvent needed for its purification. In addition to solid-phase peptide synthesis, the company has introduced the technology for forecasting solubility and the technology of continuous parallel purification, which greatly simplifies purification process and slashes the use of solvent. In addition, a chemical reaction is applied for final assembly of peptide, following the use of solid-phase synthesis, thereby eliminating the problem of connection caused by solubility issue. Finally, carry out reaction via traditional liquid-phase chemical reactor to change chemical polarity and produce sediment, thereby achieving convenient purification. This constitutes the company third technology for peptide production, featuring even reaction and simple separation and purification.

Furnished with aforementioned technologies, the company can apply optimal technology for different kinds of peptide medicines, which enable it to catch up with major suppliers of active pharmaceutical ingredients of peptide medicines, such as UCB, Lonza, Bachem, and Polypeptide, thereby breaking their oligopoly of the market, an outcome aspired by generic-drug companies or developers of new medicines.

  • D. Injection drugs

ScinoPharm Taiwan specializes in the development and production of active pharmaceutical ingredients of anti-cancer medicines featuring high activity and high technological threshold. It is a leading supplier of raw materials for highly active anti-cancer injection drugs, with the largest variety of products in the field worldwide. Moreover, it has extended its operation to downstream production of injection drugs by building an injection-drug plant which meets the international cGMP standards.

Many cancer API customers need contract production service for cancer injection drugs, due to lack of sufficient capacities for manufacturing the drugs, but at present plants for contract injection drug production meeting international standard of cGMP have limited capacities only. Moreover, unable to meet the increasingly strict eGMP standard, many injection drug plants in the U.S. and Europe have received warning notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), asking them to make improvement by a deadline or suspend operation, which has aggravated the situation. In addition to quality, stable delivery has become a major consideration for generic-drug firms in seeking business partners. Under the environment, provision of a one-stop shopping service covering APIs and injection drugs can not only consolidate and expand ScinoPharm's existing API business but also enhance the company's long-term competitiveness and growth potential.

Facilities of the company's injection-drug plant, situated in Tainan Science Park, have been completed. The plant consists of the operational sections of R&D, quality control, cleansing, sterilization, manufacturing, filling, freezing and drying, packaging, and warehousing, capable of producing injection drugs in various forms, including bottled liquid, bottled frozen dried powder, and injection drugs filled in syringes.

The transformation is meant to provide value-added service to customers, without causing conflict with customers' business. The plant will boast versatile functions, including contract manufacturing service for existing customers of active pharmaceutical ingredients, development of own medicines, registration and production of injection drugs for sale to customers, and custom service for international pharmaceutical firms.

  • 5.2.1.4 Favorable and adverse factors for development outlook

  • A. Favorable factors:

  • a. Government policy

The Chinese government amended GMP regulation in 2010, with the revised edition forcing less competitive pharmaceutical makers to withdraw from market, invest in improving manufacturing, or undertake corporate restructuring including via merger. In comparison, the new GMP regulation is favorable to healthy pharmaceutical makers.

At the end of 2015, the Chinese government issued a decree calling for intensifying the screening of imitation medicines and the review and approval of modified new medicines, improving the review and approval of clinical test, concentrating the review and approval of medicines of the same category, permitting applications to withdraw applications for unqualified medicines, strictly screening the safety and effectiveness of medicines, speeding up the screening and approval of medicines in urgent need for clinical tests, permitting the request for clinical test and medicine application before the expiration of patents, strictly penalizing faking of clinical tests, inducing rational applications, and regulating review of medicine registration. These measures ae meant to reform the review and screening system for medicines. One key objective to enhance the quality of imitation medicines. As a result, the medicine review and screening system of China will link up with the international practice, facilitating the development of companies meeting international norms in the market.

In its 12th five-year national development plan, the Chinese government has set a 20% annual growth target for the nation's medicine market and encourage enterprises to build high-caliber plants, boosting the edge of its medicine industry. Another objective is to link China's biomedicine industry with the world. A major challenge for the nation is its fast expanding aged population. According to the forecast of the Economist Intelligence Unit, China's population will hit 1.36 billion at the end of 2016, the highest worldwide and slightly higher than India, 9.7% of which, or 130 million, will be people aged 65 or over, up from 2011's 8.4%. The aged population has high demand for medical and hygiene service, as aged citizens are more vulnerable to disease due to weaker immune system. Presently, the aged population accounts for 23-40% of China's prescription medicine market and 40-50% of the over-the-counter medicine market. Prompted by the rosy outlook, the company started to deploy in the Chinese market several years ago.

In October 2015, the talk on TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership), spearheaded by the U.S., resulted in an agreement on medicine norm, which will be based on the Hatch-Waxman Act of the U.S., in the close linkage between patents and medicine applications, facilitating the extension of the company's operation to other markets, due to its focus on the U.S. market. Passed in 1984, the U.S. Hatch & Waxman Act encourages in principle the application and usage of generic drugs, helping the latter achieve 70% market penetration rate in the U.S. (For every 100 prescription, 70 use generic drugs). The implementation of the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," or known as "Obamacare," following its passage in March 2010, has further boosted the development of generic drugs.

  • b. Accelerated approval for marketing of new medicines and generic drugs

In 1992, the U.S. FDA promulgated the "Prescription Drug User Fee Act" (PDUFA), requiring pharmaceutical firms to pay fees to the FDA when applying for approval of new medicines, generating several tens of millions of U.S. dollar of extra income for the FDA for use in accelerating approval of applications for new medicines. Consequently, the majority of new drug applications (NDA) now need only one review cycle for approval, half of the previous duration.

In 2012, the "Generic Drug User Fee Amendments" (GDUFA) was promultgated, according to which pharmaceutical firms have to pay screening fee and fee for the cost of inspection facilities for applying the approval of generic drugs. The act has boosted the efficiency of

~128~

the FDA in screening and approving applications for generic drugs, slashing backlog of applications awaiting approval, and shortening average screening time, on top of additional risk check, facilitating marketing of generic drugs and enabling the public to access safe and effective generic drugs. The proposition of GDUGA was prompted by the success of PDUFA, which had helped patients obtain safe and effective new prescription drugs more rapidly. The implementation of GDUFA has facilitating obtaining of information on generic-drug manufacturing facilities and sites worldwide, augmenting the safety of global supply chain.

  • c. Secure supply sources for key materials and cooperate closely with customers to speed approval of marketing for products

  • On the global prescription-medicine market, some active pharmaceutical ingredients most demanded by generic-drug pharmaceutical firms are very difficult to come by or are very difficult for certification and analysis. As a result, the market of generic drugs is still often in the firm grip of the original patent owners, despite the expiration of the patents. Therefore, in addition to effective planning for the sources of active pharmaceutical ingredients, the company has invested, in terms of manpower and fund, in related analytical work and actively cooperated with customers in obtaining approval of the marketing of medicines within the shortest time possible, thereby facilitating the company's development.

  • d. Complying with cGMP norm

Pertaining to contract manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients, despite higher cost than mainland Chinese and Indian counterparts, the company stands out on emphasis on patents and intellectual properties, cutting-edge facilities compliant with U.S. cGMP norm, in both hardware and software, and business mode and language compatible with the West. In China and India, only some large pharmaceutical firms can meet the requirements of quality and regulations in the U.S. and Europe, while great majority of companies there are incapable of large-scale investments for building plants compliant with the cGMP standard in the U.S. and Europe.

  • B. Adverse factors

  • a. Price competition for generic drugs

    • Generic drugs refer to drugs with expired patents, enabling pharmaceutical firms other than original patent owners to produce, following approval, drugs with similar ingredients, dosage type, dosage amount, and curative effect. The scramble for the generic-drug market among pharmaceutical firms has driven downward their prices, thereby dampening prices of active pharmaceutical ingredients and the gross margin of their manufacturers. Countermeasure:

The development of new generic drugs is a key strategy of ScinoPharm Taiwan, which selects development targets via analysis of market potential and possible competition. The company has been rolling out a number of generic drugs every year, focusing on those drugs which feature active pharmaceutical ingredients with high technological threshold, speedy R&D for synthetic method, and efficient process technology, so as to tap the market opportunities emerging after the expiration of patents. Following mass production, the company would continuously improve process technology, secure supply source for raw materials, and farm out front-end processing, so as to cut production cost. The company even develops process technology with cost lower than original patent owners, while upholding the purity and safety of products.

In general, the company would develop process technology for active pharmaceutical ingredients in one year following approval of original patent owners and then provide samples to generic-drug customers for conducting tests necessary for registration, in an effort to become their first supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients. After setup of the partnership, the customers would need the approval of FDA for changing suppliers of active pharmaceutical ingredients, which would take two years and entail extra investments. The stable long-term partnership would help the company keep its overall gross margin at an adequate level.

~129~

Meanwhile, the company is building an injection-drug plant at the site of its existing Tainan plant, which will also accommodate the R&D on active pharmaceutical ingredients and preparations. Carry out integration of upstream and downstream operations to bolster the value of ScinoPharm's active pharmaceutical ingredients and the gross margin of its products, to cope with prices of generic drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients trending downward. There are some 300 dedicated manufacturers worldwide capable of producing active pharmaceutical ingredients conforming to the standard set by the U.S. FDA. Only some 20 of them can provide highly active anti-cancer injection drugs, including ScinoPharm which boasts the largest product lineup in the pack, a market segmentation which constitutes a strong edge for the company in developing preparations and new anti-cancer medicines. As for active pharmaceutical ingredients, the company selects items featuring high technological threshold for early development and applies for patents for protecting process and crystal forms, upholding its edge. The development of preparations enables the company to take into account the schedule and steps for R&D on preparations in the R&D on active pharmaceutical ingredients enabling the company to have better grasp of the schedule for the marketing of drugs, compared with peers. The complete planning, on top of the market segmentation and timeliness for active pharmaceutical ingredients will furnish the company with a stronger edge than peers.

  • b. Price competition from China and India

Taking advantage of their low manufacturing-cost edge, China and India produce bulk generic drugs with low added value. Via imitation synthesis technology, India has grasp organic synthesis chemical technology and embraced low-price strategy in penetrating emerging markets.

Countermeasure:

Since its establishment, the company has targeted market of products featuring high technological threshold, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients for anti-cancer injection drugs. The company has been actively developing next-generation production technologies with higher efficiency, in order to supply active pharmaceutical ingredients at reasonable prices and help customer augment market competitiveness, while upholding the company's dominating status on the global market of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

The company specializes in special pharmaceutical ingredients featuring high technology, high price, and high activity. The Taiwan plant already passed six times of inspections by the U.S. FDA and the certification of the hygienic agencies of various countries, while the Changshu plant in China has also passed inspection by the FDA. In addition, the company has conducted rigorous control and management of public safety, hygiene, and the stability of process technology, to prevent intellectual-property infringement and harm to environmental ecology, while assuring stable supply. The purpose is to create a quality repute for the company's products, thereby upholding their competitive edge and assuring business performance and growth.

ScinoPharm has shipped active pharmaceutical ingredients to Europe and the U.S. for many years, accumulating abundant experience in compilation of product information, inspection and certification registration (such as DMF registration for active pharmaceutical ingredients), communications with regulators, and reply to official documents, which enables the company to provide legal and technological service to customers. The expertise has given the company a strong edge, as customers invariably expect abundant legal experience from suppliers of active pharmaceutical suppliers capable of replying to regulators quickly, so as to speed up the screening and marketing of drugs.

~130~

  • c. Laws/regulations on drug production feature strict standards and demand multiple inspections, as a result of which marketing of drugs has often been delayed, should the quality of their active pharmaceutical ingredients be doubted.

On top of protracted R&D process, as drugs are meant for application inside human bodies, the safety and effectiveness of active pharmaceutical ingredients are subject to rigorous screening and check of the regulator and have to pass certification before marketing. The end result is heavy pressure of development schedule and funding requirement, which often entrap small enterprises in financial difficulty.

Countermeasure:

The company has set up a legal unit for pharmaceutical affairs, in charge of import-related documents demanded by hygiene agencies of import countries or areas for approval of local sales. The company carries out internal auditing periodically, to assure compliance of the company's operation and internal procedures with cGMP standard. The regulation-compliance unit is in charge of affairs related to official inspection and customer auditing, cGMP education and training for staffers, stability testing plan, and annual product inspection. The company's quality assurance and control unit is responsible for the checking and testing of all products and samples, including raw materials, initiators, samples in process, and finished products, to assure compliance with set specifications. Since the company mainly produces pharmaceutical ingredients with high activity for anti-cancer injection drugs, monitoring and control of the water-supply system and manufacturing environment is crucial, in order to control the amount of particulate matters and microbes in equipment, to avoid contamination of medical-use pure water. In addition, the quality-control unit will stability test for samples, to assure that they are not affected by contamination of the external environment. Therefore, the company have fully prepared for meeting the strict standards of related laws/regulations for pharmaceutical production, enjoying a strong edge over peers.

  • d. In order to postpone the stocking up of generic drugs after their marketing, original patent owners tend to file suits for patent infringement.

As innovation and R&D is the core competence of the biomedicine industry, pharmaceutical firms would spare no effort in prevent infringement of their intellectual properties by competitors. In order to safeguard their market share, original patent-owning firms would file suit related to patents or intellectual-property infringement, blocking stocking up by generic-drug firms or shipment by suppliers of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Countermeasure:

The company strictly abides by the U.S. and international standards on intellectual-property right. For active pharmaceutical ingredients, process-technology patent is the most noteworthy intellectual property. A generic-drug firm may be sued by the original patent-owning firm for intellectual-property infringement, should it use active pharmaceutical ingredients implicated in infringement of process-technology patent. In order to avoid encroaching on others' intellectual properties, the company develops most of its patents by itself and licenses technologies from patent owners, when necessary. The company is furnished with advanced patent-searching software and subscribes to related services, to assure avoidance of infringing existing or expiring patents. In addition, it employs U.S. patent lawyers to provide legal protection of chemical process technologies. Meanwhile, it provides complete technological support to customers in product-marketing registration, minimizing the impact of the adverse factor.

5.2.2 Important usages and production process of major products

5.2.2.1. Important usages of major products

In the industry of active pharmaceutical ingredients, the success or failure of a company hinges on the success or failure of product development, for which the ability of a company in choosing right products and developing them according to schedule is crucial. In product selection, ScinoPharm takes into account customer orientation, market need, size of revenue, patent restriction, ability of technology and facilities, production cost, access to raw materials, workplace safety, and environmental protection. Priority is place on those products for which ScinoPharm owns cutting-edge technologies and has control of source of raw materials, on top of less competition, high margin, and strong need by customers.

In order to speed up the pace of R&D, in addition to the utilization of solid in-house R&D strength, the company also entrusts a number of domestic and foreign research bodies for initial R&D or establishment of platform technology. Up to now, the company has successfully developed 20 products via cooperation with 10 domestic and foreign research institutions, the latter mainly academic and research units in mainland China. From those cases, many technologies have been transferred to the company as initial technologies for amplification and the company has applied patents for them. In 2011, the company incorporated its Kunshan subsidiary in China's Jiangsu Province, set up in 2001, into ScinoPharm (Changshu) Pharmaceuticals in China, while recruiting excellent chemical and chemical-engineering specialists in China for R&D and operating pilot plant for producing key materials and intermediates. ScinoPharm (Changshu) Pharmaceuticals has not only helped ScinoPharm cut production cost but also integrated cross-Strait resources for R&D, production, and management, on top of enriching its international management experience. ScinoPharm (Changshu) will be positioned as international plant for active pharmaceutical ingredients and parent company's operating base in China, which will provide large volume of quality active pharmaceutical ingredients and all-round R&D and contract manufacturing service, giving ScinoPharm a strong backing in its effort to expand international service.

In view of the acute competition in the market of active pharmaceutical ingredients, the company chooses active pharmaceutical ingredients featuring high technological threshold and high prices for early development. The focus is on pharmaceutical ingredients featuring high activity for anti-cancer drugs, which have a high-growth market.

  • Control of the hazard of active pharmaceutical ingredients

For controlling the exposure to the hazard of active pharmaceutical ingredients, the company embraces common management mode among pharmaceutical firms worldwide. The mode calls for setup of exposure ceiling for active pharmaceutical ingredients and grading of hazards, planning for engineering protection for different grades of hazards, definition of the use and management of engineering-protective measures, and measurement of the effectiveness of the function and operating environment of engineering protection, the latest for ascertaining the sufficiency of engineering protection for different grades of hazards and the need for improvement or upgrading. In order to correctly identify the grades of hazards of active pharmaceutical ingredients and determine the exposure ceiling for active pharmaceutical ingredients, the company has set up an evaluation panel consisting of in-house and external experts in pharmacy, toxicology, chemical, and industrial hygiene for the task. Meanwhile, in order to assure protective engineering measures attaining expected containment, the company has established method for air sampling for analysis, by its own or outsourcing, carried out sampling via ISPE practice guide, for evaluating the actual effect.

  • Management of process safety

To prevent unacceptable risk of process hazard during the stages of R&D through mass production, embrace four-stage analysis for process hazard: analysis of process hazard at laboratory (Lab PHA), analysis of intrinsic hazard (PHA1), analysis of reactive hazard (PHA2), and analysis of operating hazard (PHA3). Meanwhile, for evaluating safety issue resulting from thermal hazard induced by chemical reaction, carry out safety-test analysis with such laboratory equipment as differential scanning calorimeter, reaction calorimeter, and adiabatic calorimeter, in addition to conducting hazard forecast for chemicals without sufficient toxicological data with pharmaceutical-toxin forecast software Derek for Windows.

Change management procedure to evaluate and lower potential risks connected with modification of process engineering change. For control of operating safety, there have been norms for hazardous operations, such as procedural document for hazardous-operation permit, document for locking/tagging operational procedure, and document for restrictive-space operating procedure.

For in-plant use of chemicals, control its inventory at safe level and put in place standard procedure for separate bottling, with complete personal protective gear ready for use by operators, to assure safety in the use and stockpiling of chemicals.

  • Emergency response management

~146~

To assure effective response to and removal of accidents, install three-stage emergency-response mechanism: initial accident-handling stage, emergency response and handling stage, and major disaster management stage. Since emergency response is a comprehensive incident, in addition to two whole-place drills, there are nighttime drills and drill for dispersal without alert, with the drills covering not only employees but also staffers of contractors stationed in the plants. Moreover, install the mechanism of emergency-response and disaster-relief experts by providing long-term training of disaster-relief skills to staffers selected by various plants, so as to carry out rapid and effective emergency response and disaster relief.

  • Monitoring of operating environment

For detecting operating environment, formulate operating-environment detection plan containing sampling strategy, which starts with basic data collection and check of raw materials, process procedure, and hazardous materials, to be followed by observation, interviews and recording, investigation, planning of similar exposure groups, and sampling of staffers with largest chance of exposure. Detection items include CO2, noise, and organic solvent.

Meanwhile, in line with the features of the pharmaceutical industry, in order to shield staffers from the exposure to hazard resulting handling active drugs, set up air-sampling method for analysis, by its own or outsourcing, which adopts the aforementioned procedure for detecting operating environment, to evaluate the effect of exposure to hazard.

7.4.2 Expected benefits

ScinoPharm is the leading supplier, in terms of the variety of products and number of major customers, of active pharmaceutical ingredients for anti-cancer drugs in the global regulated market. Majority of customers outsourced preparations to CMOs (contract manufacturing organizations), due to inability to produce anti-cancer injection drugs. Many existing injection-drug plants have been forced to close down, due to failure to pass the increasingly rigorous legal requirements, resulting in huge demand which overstrains the capacity of CMOs, especially that for anti-cancer injection drugs. In order to meet customers' need for one-stop shopping service and boost their adherence, the company has invested in the construction of anti-cancer injection drug plant, which will raise the added value of supply chain for active pharmaceutical ingredients of anti-cancer drugs, while augmenting the long-term competitiveness and expanding the growth potential and business scale of ScinoPharm.

7.6.2 Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures

(1) Effect of change in interest rate

At present, the company doesn't have apparent risk deriving from change in interest rates. As shown in its financial reports, the Taiwan parent company raked in NT$16,221 thousand net interest income in 2018, accounting for 0.47% and 2.12% of turnover and operating profit. The company has ample operating fund in hand, due to absence of large-scale outlays for fixed assets and equipment, following completion of the construction of the ampule plant. I n asset allocation, the company mainly invested in banking deposits and short-term fixed-yield financial products, such as bonds with repo agreement and commercial papers, in order to uphold the safety and liquidity of principal. As shown in the consolidated financial statement, net interest outlays amounted to NT$46,935 thousand dollars in 2018, lower than NT$51,548 thousands dollars in 2017, accounting for 1.33% and 8.41% of turnover and operating profit. Interest outlay differed due to the arrangement of 300 million renminbi yuan medium- and long-term syndicated loan and it has been utilized entirely in 2017 and start to pay back the loan. The company will closely monitor timing and effect of interest-rate hike in the U.S. and China, while increasing capital timely to meet funding needs in the future. As for allocation of assets, subsidiaries focus on short-term principal-protection fixed-yield products, to safeguard principal and retain good liquidity.

In line with the plan for future capital expenditures, the company and its affiliates will be monitoring closely change in interest rate, to ward off adverse effect of change in interest rates on the company's business development. In view of possible funding need in the future, the company will adopt the following countermeasures according to actual need, to sidestep the effect of change in interest rate:

  • A. Funding from financial institutions: The company has maintained a good relationship in dealing with financial institutions, such as banks and bills finance companies, retained proper loan quota, and periodically evaluate the discrepancy between loan rate and average market rate, ready to secure most preferential interest rates when it needs to borrow from financial institutions.

  • B. Taking advantage of the capital market: The company is ready, whenever necessary for business development, to float corporate bonds or convertible bonds for direct finance or carry out cash capital increment, to lower funding cost.

~172~

  • C. Plural fund-raising channels: In line with the scale of capital expenditures, the company can also secure syndicated banking loan. It can also borrow foreign currencydenominated loans or float overseas convertible bonds, to meet the need of foreign currency-denominated funds, maintaining a flexible fund-funding method.

  • D. Effect of change in laws/regulations: As for the Chinese subsidiary, it is necessary to notice the effect of change in laws/regulations on funding method, as well as possible overall effect resulting from change in interest and exchange rates, in order to seek optimal funding channel.

  • (2).Effect of change in foreign exchange rate

  • As shown in the report of the parent company in Taiwan, there was NT$11,601,000 of net loss in conversion of exchange in 2018, less than NT$29,423,000 of net loss in 2017, amounting to 0.33% of operating revenue and 1.52% of operating profit, lower than the corresponding rates of 0.85% and 3.67% in 2017, thanks mainly to 3% rebound in the exchange rate of U.S. dollar against NT dollar in 2018. Conversion of exchange was still in the red in 2018, due to significant fluctuation in exchange rate and the high risk-hedging cost resulting from interest-rate spread between the U.S. and Taiwan.

As shown in the consolidated financial statement, there was net loss of NT$9.971,000 from conversion of exchange in 2018, less than the net loss of NT$34,678,000 in 2017, amounting to 0.28% of operating revenue and 1.79% of operating profit, lower than the corresponding rates of 0.99% and 6.20% in 2017, due mainly to benefits deriving from strong performance of U.S. dollar on the international market, which mitigated the effect of exchange-rate fluctuation on the parent company's U.S. dollar-denominated assets and reminbi-denominated liabilities of subsidiaries in China.

As for the parent company in Taiwan, given trust of large U.S. and European pharmaceutical firms in the quality of the company's products, the company's products are mainly for exports, generating revenue denominated mainly in U.S. dollar, with a small portion in euros, different from the company's payment which is mainly in the form of NT dollar, with a limited portion in U.S. dollar and euros. Therefore, depreciation of NT dollar will benefit the company in revenue and profit, and vice versa. As for subsidiaries in China, SciAnDa (Changshu) Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. has relied on loans from affiliates and banking loans for working capital since inauguration of its plant. In order to avoid effect of exchange-rate fluctuation, its loans are entirely denominated in renminbi.

~173~

The company has adopted the following countermeasures for the possible effect of change in exchange rate:

  • A.The financial unit keeps close contact with the foreign exchange departments of financial institutions, constantly collects information on change in exchange rate, and have firm grip on the international trend of exchange rates and political and economic development, as reference for engagement in foreign-exchange trading and counter the adverse effect of exchange-rate fluctuation.

  • B.The financial unit engages in certain extent of forward forex trading for risk hedging and proposes evaluation report periodically, as reference for the management to make judgment.

  • C. Make general evaluation of the effect of exchange/interest rates and adjust currency denominations for debt position properly, so as to ward off the adverse effect of exchange-rate fluctuation.

  • D. Make payment for procurements in currencies similar to the denominated currencies for proceeds from sales, so as to achieve a risk-hedging effect automatically.

  • E. Business or procurement units should consult financial unit on trend of exchange rates and other factors of influence before offering quotes, to facilitate overall consideration and evaluation.

  • (3)The effect of inflation

According to the Cabinet-level Directorate General in Budget, Accounting, and Statistics in Taiwan, Taiwan's consumer price index (CPI) and wholesale price index (WPI) rose by 1.35% and 3.64%, respectively, in 2018, lower than 2.1% of CPI and 3.5% of PPI (producer price index) in China, based figures of China's National Bureau of Statistics. The higher WPI hike in Taiwan is attributed to rebound of international energy prices and exchange-rate factor, which was reflected to CPI only moderately, though. in general, the global economy began to show signs of stagnation in 2018, reversing original moderate recovery, which has been aggravated by Sino-U.S. trade war. Therefore, in addition to inflation, it's necessary to heed economic stagnation or even possible recession. The company will continue monitoring price trend of raw materials and adjust sales prices and inventory level, should procurement cost rise, in addition to diversifying supply sources.

7.6.3 Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions

  • (1) High-risk and high-leveraged investment

  • In line with the principle of stability for business development, the company shuns high-risk and high-leveraged investments.

  • (2) Lending, endorsement, and guarantee

  • In response to operating need of the business group, the company and subsidiaries in China has formulated, according to the regulations of competent authority, "procedure for loan extension to others" and "procedure for provision of endorsement and guarantee," as the basis in execution and risk assessment and effective control by related units. Meanwhile, according to the "Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control System by Public Companies," the auditing unit has instituted related system, to carry out risk management and auditing works.

As for loan extension, in 2018 except loan extended by ScinoPharm (Kunshan) Biochemical Technology Ltd. (to SciAnda (Changshu) Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., there was no loans extended to others by the company and subsidiaries. Outstanding loan extended by ScinoPharm (Kunshan) Biochemical Technology Ltd. to SciAnda (Changshu) Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. stood at NT$178,615,000, as of the end of 2018.

~174~

As for endorsement and guarantee, the company's board of directors resolved in March 2016 to provide endorsement and guarantee equivalent to 350,000,000 yuan in value to SciAnda (Changshu) Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. for the latter's syndicated loan and acquisition of medium- and long-term loans from financial institutions, followed by resolutions by the board of directors in Aug. and Nov. 2017 for extensions of endorsement and guarantee equivalent to US$10,000,000 and 141,000,000 in value, respectively. In 2018, there was no any endorsement and guarantee provided by the company and subsidiaries. As of the end of 2018, the outstanding value of endorsement and guarantee provided by the company stood at NT$2,499,643,000.

(3) Trading in derivate

The parent company ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. and its subsidiaries in China have formulated their respective "procedure for acquisition and disposal of assets" as basis governing transactions in derivatives, which are mainly for the purpose of hedging market risk deriving from fluctuation in exchange rate and interest rate for foreign currency-denominated assets (liabilities), excluding arbitrage and speculation.

As shown the report of the parent company in Taiwan and the consolidated report, there was NT$18,000,000 of evaluated loss in financial products in both in 2018, due mainly to risk associated with trading in forward forex by the parent company, for hedging exchange-rate risk, which is a difficult task, given the high interest rate spread between the U.S. and Taiwan. The subsidiaries in China never engaged in trading in derivatives. In the future, the company will still engage in transaction in derivates for hedging risk associated with fluctuation of exchange rates and interest rates, while shunning speculative trading. Units in charge of the transactions should report the status of transactions to the management monthly, for reference in judgment, according to the "procedure for the acquisition or disposal of assets," and the risk-hedging strategy should be adjusted timely, in line with the company's business status and market trend.

7.6.4 Future Research & Development Projects and Corresponding Budget

Given long period and high uncertainty for R&D on pharmaceuticals, on top of strong R&D strength and technological advantages, ScinoPharm Taiwan has invested heavily in R&D every year. Taking advantage of high-specifications cGMP production equipment and abundant experience accumulated over a long term, the company has not only develop products with market potential but also installed innovative technological platform, facilitating joint development of new preparations and new drugs with business partners and ushering the company into a new era.

On the existing base, the company will continue developing active pharmaceutical ingredients for new anti-cancer and central nerve system drugs featuring timeliness and new process. Meanwhile, from the angles of market potential, production difficulty, and manipulability, evaluate cautiously new crystal form or new combination of APIs for antiviral agents and chronic-disease medicines. Especially, in the field of combination medicines, the company's past efforts are expected to bear fruit gradually, thanks to progress in related technology which focuses on process, taking advantage of the features of combination medicines to provide transmission function for targeted therapy and thereby enhance medicine effectiveness and lowering side effect. Moreover, with increasing amount of new peptide drugs, ScinoPharm Taiwan's peptide-drug technological platform will exhibit its advantageous function, facilitating the development of APIs for peptide drugs which feature high technological threshold.

~175~

In addition to continuing focus on the core business of anti-cancer APIs for consolidation of the company's leading market status, ScinoPharm Taiwan will gradually extend to the R&D on recipe and process for injection cancer drugs and obtain permit for new drug via simplified application procedure in the U.S. and Europe. Another R&D focus is recipe for new preparations and drug-administration technology, in the hope of developing patented niche pharmaceuticals. In combination with the production capability for injection drugs, ScinoPharm Taiwan will extend the value chain of its pharmaceuticals to injection drugs, from the original field of APIs.

The company appropriates R&D budget according to plan for new-product development, with R&D expense accounting for 7-10% in past years. Along with revenue growth, the company will gradually increase its R&D budget, to boost corporate competitiveness. The company expects to invest NT$800 million in R&D in the coming two years.

7.6.5 Effects of and Response to Changes in Policies and Regulations Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales:

Given limited effect of the extension of medical and pharmaceutical practice permit and patents in the revised Pharmaceutical Affairs Law on the company, including finance, the company is actively making all-round product deployment and engaging in product development.

7.6.6 Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and the Industry Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales

The company's R&D team outperforms peers in product development and closely monitors, along with marketing and planning teams, general trend for pharmaceutical development and technological progress, as the basis for medium- and long-term development plan. Since the company's APIs are self-developed ones entirely, there is no any problem concerning patent infringement. The company has spared no effort in technological innovation and development of patented progress, to uphold product competiveness. Taking advantage of established basis, the company has been developing new products actively every year, so as to expand product lineup and support the company's global deployment. In addition to APIs, the company has stepped into the realm of production of preparations and, via joint venture, new drug development, gradually becoming an all-round pharmaceutical firm. The company has adhered to the principle of balancing efforts for short-, medium-, and long-term development, capable of coping with technological and industrial changes, without affecting financial soundness.

7.6.7 The Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Risk Management, and the Company’s Response Measures

~176~

7.6.8 Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Merger and Acquisition Plans

As of the date for the publication of the yearbook, the company had no other M&A plan. Should there be any such plan in the future, the company will cautiously evaluate, according to the company's "measures for acquisition and disposal of assets," whether it can bring concrete synergy to the company, so as to uphold the interest of the company and shareholders.

7.6.9 Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Factory Expansion Plans

Due to progress in uperization equipment and technology, requirements of international laws/regulations on the production and quality of injection medicines have become increasingly stringent. As a result, many renowned injection-medicine plants have been forced to suspend their operations, due to inability to meet cGMP requirements on factory design or product quality, leading to short supply for many injection medicines. In line with the development trend of the pharmaceutical industry, the company has been endeavoring to strengthen the competitiveness of the entire supply chain. The new injection-medicine plant in Tainan has been ready for operation, following installation of two production lines in 2017 and certification of plant and equipment in 2018, with approval of registration for several products still pending. Following inauguration of the new plant, on top of supplying generic drugs and APIs for new medicine, the company will be able to provide trustworthy contract-production service to branded customers. Expected benefits, possible risks, and countermeasures of the injection-medicine plant follow:

  • (1) Benefits

  • ScinoPharm's ampule plant meets the highest specifications of international regulations in design, including sterile glove-box filling lines, minimizing sterile operating space and human interference with the sterile environment. Disposable materials are employed at production lines as much as possible, to avoid cross contamination brought about by washing and repeated usage.

  • Of the two existing production lines, one is capable of turning out advance-filled and cartridge ampules with high activity and the other cyotoxin liquid and frozen dry anti-cancer amplues, taking advantage of the company's expertise in anti-cancer API. Thanks to the advantages of high sterility and product-switch flexibility of glove-box filling lines, ScinoPharm's ampule plant turns out cartridge-bottle and advance-filled ampules, facilitating development of production of generic-drug ampules and contract production for international ampule firms in the future. Given its simultaneous engagement in development and production of APIs and ampules, ScinoPharm is expected to create even more opportunities for different business cooperation models, leading to higher competitiveness in the pharmaceutical industry.

  • (2) Risks/Adaptive measures

  • While expansion to injection-medicine production in the manner of vertical integration will boost the company's competiveness, thanks to the effect of market segmentation, the new injection-medicine plant faces the risk of low capacity utilization rate and idle equipment, should orders fail to meet expectation. As countermeasures, the company will strive to solicit one-stop shopping business, covering API and injection medicines, from customers and offer custom process service, according the features of customers' products, on top of continuing cooperation with generic-drug customers in the U.S. and Europe in tapping the market of self-developed generic drugs to reduce the risk.

~177~

7.6.10 Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and Excessive Customer Concentration

The company generated NT$1,008,847 thousand dollars and NT$761,592 thousand dollars of revenue, respectively, from Biddle Sawyer Pharma LLC in 2016 and 2017, for shares of 28.69% and 21.65%, Biddle Sawyer Pharma LLC is the company's sole agent for the North American market, the world's largest generic-drug market, having helped the company sell its active pharmaceutical ingredients of anti-cancer drugs to 60 generic-drug companies in the region. The heavy reliance on Biddle Sawyer Pharma LLD brings a concentration risk, which will impact the company's operation, should the former stop placing orders with the company. Countermeasures:

8.4 Other Necessary Supplement

8.4.1 The company's key performance index (KPI)

In line with features of the pharmaceutical industry, the company uses the number of registration for DMF (drug master file) as the KPI.

As the number of product registration parallels the number of products developed by a pharmaceutical company, the number of DMF has been used to embody a company's R&D strength. The company aims to apply for four to five DMF registrations in major countries each a year. In 2018, the company applied for 41 DMF registrations worldwide, including 5 in the U.S. As of April 2019, the company had 813DMF registrations worldwide.

8.4.2 Criteria and basis for the evaluation of provisions for assets/liabilities evaluation items

  • (1) Policy for provisions for bad debts of accounts receivable

Evaluation criteria: Measures for analyzing debt amount and debt length Evaluation basis: Percentages of provisions according to debt length

Customer debts are classified into two kinds:

  • For customers which are leading enterprises of a specific industry with good record of dealings with the company over the past three years and over 5% share in the company's sales, there are no provisions for bad debts.
Overdue length of debts Percentage ofprovisions
1-~30 days 0.05%
31~60 days 0.10%
61~90 days 0.25%
91~180 days 10%
More than 180days 100%
  • For other customers, bad-debt provisions are appropriated according to the length of overdue debt, as shown in the following:
Overdue length of debts Percentage ofprovisions
1-~30 days 0.10%
31~60 days 0.20%
61~90 days 0.50%
91~180 days 10%
over 180 days 100%

The accounting unit calculates the amount of bad-debt provisions according to the aforementioned basis and adjusts the value under the item "bad-debt provisions" accordingly.

~190~

  • (2) Provisions for loss in inventories from price drop

The company embraces a perpetual inventory system, whose cost is calculated with a weighted average method. The value of inventory at the end of the current term is set according to cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. The comparison between cost and net realizable value is made item by item. Net realizable value refers to the balance of estimated sales value deducting the cost of input needed for completion of work and marketing expense. Provisions for price drop must be made and listed as current business cost, should cost exceed net realizable value. Should net realizable value rise again, the increase can be used for offsetting the loss, within the scope of evaluated balance of loans and listed as a reduction item for current business cost.

In evaluating the price-drop loss in inventory, products in the same category are evaluated together

8.4.4. Evaluation of financial products

The company uses the following method and assumption in evaluating the fair value of financial products:

  • (1) In the short term, due to little different in discounting value, paper value is used in gauging fair value. The method applies to cash, cash equivalent, accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, other financial assets-liquidity, notes payable and debt, expense payable, other expenses payable, and rentals payable-liquidity.

  • (2) Other financial assets--Discounting value based on expected cash flow is used in evaluating the fair value of noncurrent and refundable deposits. The discount rate is equivalent to the fixed interest rate for one-year time deposits at the end of the current term at Chunghwa Post.

  • (3) Discounting value based on expected cash flow is used in gauging the fair value of refundable deposits. The discount rate is based on the interest rates available for the company for securing loans with similar conditions.

  • (4) The evaluation of the fair value of derivatives is based on expected amount which the company can obtain or must pay, should it terminate the contract on the date of the financial statement, ahead of due date. It generally contains unrealized benefit for the settlement of contract at the end of the current term.

  • (5) The company's forward-forex contracts are based on quotes for spot or forward-forex rates shown on the webpage of Bank of Taiwan. Therefore, the unrealized benefit/loss of a specific forward-forex contract is calculated according to forward-forex rate on the due date of the contract.

8.5 Other Supplementary Disclosure

If any of the situations listed in Article 36, paragraph 3, subparagraph 2 of the Securities and Exchange Act, which might materially affect shareholders' equity or the price of the company's securities, has occurred during the most recent fiscal year or during the current fiscal year up to the date of printing of the annual report, such situations shall be listed:None.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements of 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

~A-2~

The key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:

Cutoff of export revenue from Taiwan

Description

Refer to Note 4(27) for accounting policy on revenue recognition.

The Group’s sales revenue mainly arise from manufacture and sale of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (“API”), which primarily consists of export sales. The Group recognises export sales revenue based on the terms and conditions of transactions which vary with different customers. As revenue recognition involves manual processes, and is material to the financial statements, we consider the cutoff of export revenue from Taiwan a key audit matter.

How our audits addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Understood and assessed the effectiveness of internal controls over cutoff of sales revenue, and tested the effectiveness of internal controls over shipping and billing.

  2. Checked the completeness of the export sales details for a certain period around balance sheet date, and performed cutoff tests on a random basis, which include checking the terms and conditions of transactions, verifying against supporting documents, and checking whether inventory movements and costs of sales were recognised in the appropriate period.

Inventory valuation

Description

Refer to Note 4(13) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, Note 5(2)1 for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied in inventory valuation, and Note 6(5) for details of inventories. As of December 31, 2018, the balances of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses were $1,889,295 thousand and $525,498 thousand, respectively.

The Group is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sales of API. As the manufacturing process is relatively complicated and time consuming, materials require longer lead time, the waiting period for product registration is long, and the timing of the product launch may be deferred, there is higher risk of incurring loss on inventory valuation. For inventories sold under normal terms, the Group measures

~A-3~

inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value. For inventories aging over a certain period of time and are individually identified as obsolete inventories, the net realisable value is calculated based on the historical information of inventory turnover. Since the calculation of net realisable value involves subjective judgement and the ending balance of inventory is material to the financial statements, we consider the valuation of inventory a key audit matter.

How our audits addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Evaluated the reasonableness of provision policies and procedures on allowance for inventory valuation losses, including the historical data of inventory turnover and judgement of obsolete inventory.

  2. Verified whether the dates used in the inventory aging reports that the Group applied to value inventories were accurate. Recalculated and evaluated the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses in order to confirm whether the reported information was in line with the Group’s policies.

  3. Selected samples from inventory items by each sequence number to verify its realisable value and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation loss.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

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.

~A-4~

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 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 judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

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

~A-5~

  1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  2. 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.

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

  4. 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.

~A-6~

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.

Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment. IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’

  • A. Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset at amortised cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income.

  • B. The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an ‘expected credit loss’ approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognise 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance). The Group shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.

  • C. The Group has elected not to restate prior period financial statements using the modified retrospective approach under IFRS 9. For details of the significant effect as at January 1, 2018, please refer to Note 12(4)B.

Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle

Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’

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. The Group expects to recognise the lease contract of lessees in line with IFRS 16. Accordingly, on January 1, 2019, the Group expects to increase right-of-use asset by $975,606 and lease liability by $900,288, and decrease long-term prepaid rent by $75,318 using the modified retrospective approach.

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.

(1) 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”).

(2) Basis of preparation

  • A. Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

  • (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

  • (b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • (c) 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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “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.

  • C. In adopting IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 effective January 1, 2018, the Group has elected to apply modified retrospective approach whereby the cumulative impact of the adoption was recognised as other equity as of January 1, 2018 and the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 were not restated. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 were prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 39 (‘IAS 39’), International Accounting Standard 11 (‘IAS 11’), International Accounting Standard 18 (‘IAS 18’) and related financial reporting interpretations. Please refer to Notes 12(4) and (5) for details of significant accounting policies and details of significant accounts.

~A-17~

(3) 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 noncontrolling 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.

  • (e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

  • C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.

  • E. Significant restrictions: None.

  • F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.

(4) 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 NTD, 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.

~A-19~

  - (b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated 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, nonmonetary 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 other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”.
  • B. Translation of foreign operations

    • (a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

      • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

      • ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

      • iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

    • (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, if the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.

  • (5) 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.

~A-20~

  • 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.

(6) Cash equivalents

  • A. Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

  • B. Time deposits and bills under repurchase agreements that meet the above criteria and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

  • (7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.

  • D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (8) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value. The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of

~A-21~

the dividend can be measured reliably.

(9) 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.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

  • D. The Group’s structured deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(10) 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.

(11) Impairment of financial assets

  • For financial assets at amortised cost, 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.

(12) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial asset expire.

(13) Inventories

The standard cost method is applied, and cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. 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. When the cost of inventories exceeds the realisable value, the amount of any write-down of inventories is recognised as cost of

~A-22~

sales during the period and the amount of any reversal of inventory write-down is recognised as a reduction in the cost sales during the period.

(14) Property, plant and equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.

  • 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. Property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. If each component of property, plant and equipment is significant, it is depreciated separately.

  • D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end 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 Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

equipment are as follows:

(15) Intangible assets

Professional skills and computer software, etc. are stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 ~ 5 years.

(16) Operating leases (lessee)

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.

(17) Impairment of non-financial assets

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 to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment

~A-23~

loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognised in profit or loss. 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.

(18) Borrowings

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.

(19) 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.

(20) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

  • (21) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(22) 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

~A-24~

rate used to discount is determined by using interest of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.

     - ii.Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise, and recorded as retained earnings.
  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration

    • Employees’ compensation and directors’ 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 employees’ compensation is distributed by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing market price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
  • (23) 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 nonmarket 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 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.

  • (24) 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 Group 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. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred income 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 financial statements. However, the deferred income 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-25~

a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income 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 income 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 income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred income 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 utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • (25) Share capital

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.

  • (26) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.

  • (27) Revenue recognition

  • A. Sales of goods

    • (a) The Group manufactures and sells API, intermediates, etc. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s 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 customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

    • (b) Revenue is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the sales returns and discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the sales returns and discounts, 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

~A-26~

assessment at each reporting date. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

  - (c) 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.
  • B. Sales of services

    • (a) The Group provides technology development and consultation services. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the service rendered up to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.

    • (b) The Group’s estimate about revenue, costs and progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is subject to a revision whenever there is a change in circumstances. Any increase or decrease in revenue or costs due to an estimate revision is reflected in profit or loss during the period when the management become aware of the changes in circumstances.

  • C. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract

    • Given that the contractual period lasts less than one year, the Group recognises the incremental costs (mainly comprised of sales commissions) of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred although the Group expects to recover those costs.
  • (28) Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker. The Chief Operating Decision-Maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

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. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, and the related information is addressed below:

(1) Critical judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies

None.

~A-27~

  • (2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • A. Evaluation of inventories

    • (a). As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. As the manufacturing process is relatively complicated and time consuming, materials require longer lead time, the waiting period for product registration is long, and the timing of product launch may be deferred, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. Since the calculation of net realisable value involves subjective judgement and the ending balance of inventory is material to the financial statements, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

    • (b) As of December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of inventories was $1,363,797.

  • B. Realisability of deferred income tax assets

    • (a) Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Assessment of the realisability of deferred income tax assets involves critical accounting judgments and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales revenue growth rate and profit rate, tax exempt duration, available tax credits, tax planning, etc. Any variations in global economic environment, industrial environment, and laws and regulations might cause material adjustments to deferred income tax assets.

    • (b) As of December 31, 2018, the Group recognised deferred income tax assets amounting to $593,103.

(13) PENSIONS

  • A. The Company has set up a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law, which applies to all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”) on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be covered under the pension scheme of the Labor Standards Law after the enforcement of the Act. In accordance with the Company's retirement plan, an employee may retire when the employee either (i) attains the age of 55 with 15 years of service, (ii) has more than 25 years of service, (iii) has reached the age of 65, or (iv) is incapacitated to work (compulsory retirement). The employees earn two units for each year of service for the first 15 years, and one unit for each additional year thereafter up to a maximum of 45 units. Any fraction of a year equal to or more than six months shall be counted as one year of service, and any fraction of a year less than six months shall be counted as half a year. According to the provisions, employees who retired due to their duties shall get additional 20%. Pension payments are based on the number of units earned and the average salary of the last one months prior to retirement. Calculation of average salary is in accordance with the Labor Standards Law of the R.O.C. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees' monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is not enough to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company will make contribution for the deficit by end of March next year.

(a) The amounts recognised in the balance sheet are as follows:

Present value of defined benefit obligations $ 121,105 $ 119,272
Fair value of plan assets ( 44,242) ( 49,960)

(c) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorised by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan asset fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with published statistics and experience according to Taiwan Life Insurance Industry 5th Mortality Table for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

The sensitivity analysis above was based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous year.

  • (f) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plan of the Company for 2019 is $3,066.

  • (g) As of December 31, 2018, the weighted average duration of that retirement plan is 11 years. The analysis of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:

  • B. As a result of the enforcement of the Act, the Company set up a defined contribution pension plan which took effect on July 1, 2005. The local employees are eligible for the defined contribution plan. For employees who choose to be covered under the pension scheme of the Act, the Company contributes monthly an amount of not less than 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. Pensions are paid by monthly installments or in lump sum based on the accumulated balances of the employees’ individual pension accounts.

Company Act, the current year's after-tax earnings should be used initially to cover any accumulated deficit; thereafter 10% of the remaining earnings should be set aside as legal reserve until the balance of legal reserve is equal to that of paid-in capital. The legal reserve shall be exclusively used to cover accumulated deficit, to issue new stocks, or to distribute cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership. The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash dividends to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership is permitted provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion in exceeds 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.

  • B. Since the Company is in a changeable industry environment and the life cycle of the Company is in a stable growth, the appropriation of earnings should consider fund requirements and capital budget to decide how much earnings will be kept or distributed and how much cash dividends will be distributed. According to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, 10% of the annual net income, after offsetting any loss of prior years and paying all taxes and dues, shall be set aside as legal reserve. The remaining net income and the unappropriated retained earnings from prior years can be distributed in accordance with a resolution passed during a meeting of the Board of Directors and approved at the stockholders' meeting. Of the amount to be distributed by the

  • C. In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside special reserve for the debit balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When debit balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount could be included in the distributable earnings. The amounts previously set aside by the Company as special reserve on initial application of IFRSs in accordance with Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Letter No. 1010012865, dated April 6, 2012, shall be reversed proportionately when the relevant assets are used, disposed of or reclassified subsequently.

  • (iv)As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, if the NTD:USD exchange rate appreciates/depreciates by 5% with all other factors remaining constant, the Group’s net profit after tax for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would increase/decrease by $30,045 and $28,965, respectively. If the NTD:EUR and NTD:CNY exchange rate appreciates/depreciates by 5% with all other factors remaining constant, the Group’s net profit after tax for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is immaterial.

  • (v)Total exchange gain (loss) including realised and unrealised arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $8,029 and ($45,595), respectively.

  • II. Price risk

The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and available-for-sale financial assets (listed as financial assets carried at cost - non-current” ). To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio and set stop-loss amounts for these instruments. The Group expects no significant market risk.

III. Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • (i) The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term borrowings with variable rates and exposes the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in USD and CNY.

  • (ii) The Group’s borrowings are measured at amortised cost. The borrowings are periodically contractually repriced and to that extent are also exposed to the risk of future changes in market interest rates.

  • (iii) If the borrowing interest rates had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables

~A-58~

held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would have increased/decreased by $643 and $362, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result from floating rate borrowings.

(b) Credit risk

  • I. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms.

  • II. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of 'A' are accepted. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • III. The Group adopts the following assumption under IFRS 9: If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

  • IV. The Group manages its credit risk, whereby if the contract payments are past due over 180 days based on the terms, there has been impairment.

  • V. The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable in accordance with credit rating of customer and credit risk on trade. The Group applies the simplified approach using provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss, and use the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable. Movements in relation to the group applying the simplified approach to provide loss allowance for accounts receivable are as follows:

VI. Credit risk information for 2017 is provided in Note 12(4).

  • (c) Liquidity risk

  • I. Cash flow forecasting is performed by the Group’s treasury department which monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet

~A-59~

operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.

  • II. The Group has undrawn borrowing facilities amounting to $5,519,200 and $5,836,733 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

  • III. The following table comprises the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities with gross-amount settlement that are grouped by their maturity. Nonderivative financial liabilities are analysed from the balance sheet date to the contract maturity date, and derivative financial liabilities are analysed from the balance sheet date to the expected maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3) Fair value information

  • A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset

~A-60~

or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in foreign exchange contracts is included in Level 2.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.

  • B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

  • The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortised cost - current, accounts receivable, other receivables, guarantee deposits paid, other financial assets - noncurrent, short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable, other payable, long-term borrowings (including current portion) and guarantee deposits received are approximate to their fair values.

  • C. The related information of financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities are as follows:

  • D. The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

  • (a) The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as its fair values (that is, Level 1) is listed below by characteristics:

Listed shares Market quoted price Closing price

  • (b)Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date.

  • (c)When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, debt instruments without active market, interest rate swap contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts and options, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.

~A-61~

  • (d)Forward foreign exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.

  • E. Foresee Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. has been listed on the Taipei Exchange from June, 2018, therefore, the Group transferred the fair value from Level 2 to Level 1 at the end of the month when the event occurred. For the year ended December 31, 2017, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • F. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Balance after restatement on January 1 242,355 -
Loss recognised in other comprehensive
income ( 42,309) -
At December 31 $ 200,046 $ -
  • G. The Group’s valuation procedures for fair value measurements is categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently assess to make any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.

  • H. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:

Significant Range Relationship Fair value at Valuation unobservable (weighted of inputs to December 31, 2018 technique input average) fair value

Non-derivative equity instrument: - Unlisted� shares $ 200,046 Net asset Not applicable The higher the value net asset value, the higher the fair value

  • I. The Group has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value. However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in different measurement. If the net assets value increased or decreased by 1% for Level 3, however, other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2018 is immaterial.

~A-62~

(4) Effects on initial application of IFRS 9 and information on application of IAS 39 in 2017

  • A. Summary of significant accounting policies adopted in 2017:

  • (a) Receivables

    • Accounts receivable are receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. They are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
  • (b) Available for sale financial assets

    • i. They are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.

    • ii. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

    • iii. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured or derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are presented in ‘financial assets carried at cost’.

  • (c) Impairment of financial assets

    • i. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

    • ii. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:

    • (i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

    • (ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

    • (iii) Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group;

~A-63~

  • (iv) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered;

  • (v) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

  • iii. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:

  • (i) Financial assets carried at cost

The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at current market return rate of similar financial asset, and is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment loss recognised for this category shall not be reversed subsequently. Impairment loss is recognised by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.

  - (ii) Financial assets at amortised cost

     - The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognised previously. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
  • (d) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • i. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading or financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:

    • (i) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or

    • (ii) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

~A-64~

     - (iii)They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

  - ii. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.
  • B. The reconciliations of carrying amount of financial assets transferred from December 31, 2017, IAS 39, to January 1, 2018, IFRS 9, were as follows:

  • Under IFRS 9, financial assets carried at cost amounting to $391,097 were not held for the purpose of trading, and the Group has made an irrevocable election to reclassify as “Financial assets at fair value though other comprehensive income’’ amounting to $539,572, and increased other equity interest in the amount of $148,475.

  • C. The significant accounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 are as follows:

  • (a) Financial assets carried at cost - non-current

  • i. The Group classified some of its equity investments as available-for-sale financial assets, based on its intention. However, as these stocks are not traded in an active market, and there is no sufficient information of similar companies in the industry, fair value of the investments cannot be measured reliably. Accordingly, the Group classified those stocks as “financial assets carried at cost”.

  • ii. As of December 31, 2017, no financial assets carried at cost held by the Group were pledged to others.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s parent company only financial statements of 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

~B-1~

The key audit matters for the parent company only financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:

Cutoff of export revenue

Description

Refer to Note 4(27) to the parent company only financial statements for accounting policy on revenue recognition.

The Company’s sales revenue mainly arises from manufacture and sale of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (“API”), which primarily consists of export sales. The Company recognises export sales revenue based on the terms and conditions of transactions which vary with different customers. As revenue recognition involves manual processes, and is material to the financial statements, we consider the cutoff of export revenue a key audit matter.

How our audits addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Understood and assessed the effectiveness of internal controls over cutoff of sales revenue, and tested the effectiveness of internal controls over shipping and billing.

  2. Checked the completeness of the export sales details for a certain period around balance sheet date, and performed cutoff tests on a random basis, which included checking the terms and conditions of transactions, verifying against supporting documents, and checking whether inventory movements and costs of sales were recognised in the appropriate period.

Inventory valuation

Description

Refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, Note 5(2)1 for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied in inventory valuation, and Note 6(4) for details of inventories. As of December 31, 2018, the balances of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses were $1,634,620 thousand and $391,032 thousand, respectively.

~B-2~

The Company is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sales of API. As the manufacturing process is relatively complicated and time consuming, materials require longer lead time, the waiting period for product registration is long, and the timing of the product launch may be deferred, there is higher risk of incurring loss on inventory valuation. For inventories sold under normal terms, the Company measures inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value. For inventories aging over a certain period of time and are individually identified as obsolete inventories, the net realisable value is calculated based on the historical information of inventory turnover. Since the calculation of net realisable value involves subjective judgement and the ending balance of inventory is material to the financial statements, we consider the valuation of inventory a key audit matter.

How our audits addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Evaluated the reasonableness of provision policies and procedures on allowance for inventory valuation losses, including the historical data of inventory turnover and judgement of obsolete inventory.

  2. Verified whether the dates used in the inventory aging reports that the Company applied to value inventories were accurate. Recalculated and evaluated the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses in order to confirm whether the reported information was in line with the Company’s policies.

  3. Selected samples from inventory items by each sequence number to verify its realisable value and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation loss.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

~B-3~

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

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

~B-4~

  1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  2. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  3. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  4. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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

~B-5~

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only 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.

(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, except as otherwise indicated)

Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Company’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Company’s assessment: IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’

  • A. Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset at amortised cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income.

  • B. The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an ‘expected credit loss’ approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognise 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance). The Company shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.

  • C. The Company has elected not to restate prior period financial statements using the modified retrospective approach under IFRS 9. For details of the significant effect as at January 1, 2018, please refer to Note 12(4)B.

~B-14~

(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by

the Company

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:

follows:
New Standards,Interpretations andAmendments Effective date by
IASB
Amendments to IFRS 9, ‘Prepayment features with negative
compensation’
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’
Amendments to IAS 28, ‘Long-term interests in associates and joint
ventures’
IFRIC 23, ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’

January 1, 2019
January 1, 2019
January 1, 2019
January 1, 2019
January 1, 2019

Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Company’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Company’s assessment: IFRS 16, ‘Leases’

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. The Company expects to recognise the lease contract of lessees in line with IFRS 16. Accordingly, on January 1, 2019, it is expected that right-of-use asset and lease liability will both be increased by $900,288 using the modified retrospective approach.

(3) IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC are as follows:

New Standards,Interpretations andAmendments Effective date by
IASB
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure Initiative-Definition of
Material’
Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Definition of a business’

IFRS 17, ‘Insurance contracts’
January 1, 2020
January 1, 2020
To be determined by
IASB
January 1, 2021

The above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Company’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Company’s assessment.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(1) Compliance statement

The parent company only financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.

  • (2) Basis of preparation

  • A. Except for the following items, these parent company only financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

    • (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

    • (b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

    • (c) 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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

  • C. In adopting IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 effective January 1, 2018, the Company has elected to apply modified retrospective approach whereby the cumulative impact of the adoption was recognised as other equity as of January 1, 2018 and the financial statements of 2017 were not restated. The financial statements of 2017 were prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 39 (‘IAS 39’), International Accounting Standard 11 (‘IAS 11’), International Accounting Standard 18 (‘IAS 18’) and related financial reporting interpretations. Please refer to Notes 12(4) and (5) for details of significant accounting policies and details of significant accounts.

  • (3) Foreign currency translation

  • Items included in the parent company only financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the “functional currency”). The parent company only financial statements are presented in NTD, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

  • 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-16~

  • 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 retranslation 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 retranslated 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 based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”.

  • (4) 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.

(5) Cash equivalents

  • A. Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

  • B. Time deposits and bills under repurchase agreements that meet the above criteria and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

~B-17~

  • (6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.

  • D. The Company recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (7) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Company has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value. The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (8) Accounts and notes receivable

  • A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Company 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.

(9) Impairment of financial assets

  • For financial assets at amortised cost, at each reporting date, the Company 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 Company recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

~B-18~

(10) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

(11) Inventories

The standard cost method is applied, and cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. 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. When the cost of inventories exceeds the net realisable value the amount of any write-down of inventories is recognised as cost of sales during the period; and the amaunt of any reversal of inventory write-down is recognised as a reduction in the cost of sales during the period.

  • (12) Investments accounted for under the equity method - subsidiaries

  • A. A subsidiary is an entity where the Company has the right to dominate its finance and operating policies (including special purpose entities), normally the Company owns more than 50% of the voting rights directly or indirectly in that entity. Subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method in the Company's non-consolidated financial statements.

  • B. Unrealised gains or losses resulting from inter-company transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated. To meet the consistency of accounting policies of the Company, necessary adjustments are made to the accounting policies of the subsidiaries.

  • C. After acquisition of subsidiaries, the Company recognises proportionately the share of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the income statement as part of the Company’s profit and loss and other comprehensive income, respectively. When the share of loss from a subsidiary exceeds the carrying amount of Company’s interest in that subsidiary, the Company continues to recognise its share in the subsidiary's loss proportionately.

  • D. According to “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”, ‘profit for the year’ and ‘other comprehensive income for the year’ reported in an entity's parent company only statement of comprehensive income, shall equal to ‘profit for the year’ and ‘other comprehensive income’ attributable to owners of the parent reported in that entity’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Total equity reported in an entity’s parent company only financial statements, shall equal to equity attributable to owners of parent reported in that entity’s consolidated financial statements.

  • (13) Property, plant and equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.

~B-19~

  • 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 Company 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. Property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. If each component of property, plant and equipment is significant, it is 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 Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

(14) Intangible assets

Professional skills and computer software, etc. are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 ~ 5 years.

(15) Operating leases (lessee)

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.

(16) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company 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 to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognised in profit or loss. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not exceed the depreciated or amortized historical cost if the impairment had not been recognised.

~B-20~

(17) Borrowings

Borrowings comprise 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.

  • (18) 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.

  • (19) Financial guarantee contracts

  • A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the Company to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial guarantee contracts at fair value and subsequently at the higher of amount of provisions determined by the expected credit losses and the cumulative gains that were previously recognised.

  • (20) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

  • (21) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(22) 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 expense in that period when the employees render service.

  • B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plan

For defined contribution plan, the contributions are recognised as pension expense 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-21~

  - (b) Defined benefit plan

     - 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 Company 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 of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations. .

     - ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise, and recorded as retained earnings.
  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration

    • Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liability, 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 employees’ compensation is distributed by shares, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the closing market price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
  • (23) 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 nonmarket 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 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.

  • (24) 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-22~

  • 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 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. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred income 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 statements. However, the deferred income 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 income 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 Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income 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 income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred income 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 utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(25) Share capital

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.

(26) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.

~B-23~

(27) Revenue recognition

  • A. Sales of goods

  • (a) The Company manufactures and sells API, intermediates, etc. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s 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 customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

  • (b) Revenue is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the sales returns and discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the sales returns and discounts, 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. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Company does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

  • (c) 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.

  • B. Sales of services

  • (a) The Company provides technology development and consultation services. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the service rendered up to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.

  • (b) The Company’s estimate about revenue, costs and progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is subject to a revision whenever there is a change in circumstances. Any increase or decrease in revenue or costs due to an estimate revision is reflected in profit or loss during the period when the management become aware of the changes in circumstances.

  • C. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract

  • Given that the contractual period lasts less than one year, the Company recognises the incremental costs (mainly comprised of sales commissions) of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred although the Group expects to recover those costs.

~B-24~

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF

ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these parent company only financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Company’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. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, and the related information is addressed below:

(1) Critical judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies

None.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • A. Evaluation of inventories

  • (a) As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Company must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgments and estimates. As the manufacturing process is long and complex, causing longer materials lead time, the waiting period for product registration is long, and the timing of customers’ product launch may be deferred, the Company evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

  • (b) As of December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of inventories was $1,243,588.

  • B. Realisability of deferred tax assets

  • (a) Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Assessment of the realisability of deferred tax assets involves critical accounting judgments and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales revenue growth rate and profit rate, tax exempt duration, available tax credits, tax planning, etc. Any variations in global economic environment, industrial environment, and laws and regulations might cause material adjustments to deferred income tax assets.

  • (b) As of December 31, 2018, the Company recognised deferred income tax assets amounting to $470,322.

(11) PENSIONS

  • A. The Company has set up a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law, which applies to all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”) on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be covered under the pension scheme of the Labor Standards Law after the enforcement of the Act. In accordance with the Company's retirement plan, an employee may retire when the employee either (i) attains the age of 55 with 15 years of service, (ii) has more than 25 years of service, (iii) has reached the age of 65, or (iv) is incapacitated to work (compulsory retirement). The employees earn two units for each year of service for the first 15 years, and one unit for each additional year thereafter up to a maximum of 45 units. Any fraction of a year equal to or more than six months shall be counted as one year of service, and any fraction of a year less than six months shall be counted as half a year. According to the provisions, employees who retired due to their duties shall get additional 20%. Pension payments are based on the number of units earned and the average salary of the last six months prior to retirement. Calculation of average salary is in accordance with the Labor Standards Law of the R.O.C. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees' monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is not enough to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned methods to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company will make contribution for the deficit by the end of March next year.

(a) The amounts recognised in the balance sheet are as follows:

  • (c) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, overthe-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitisation products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorised by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan asset fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with published statistics and experience according to Taiwan Life Insurance Industry 5[th] Mortality Table for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

The sensitivity analysis above was arrived at based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

~B-35~

The method and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous year.

  • (e) Expected contribution to the defined benefit pension plan of the Company for 2019 is $3,066.

  • (f) As of December 31, 2018, the weighted average duration of that retirement plan is 11 years. The analysis of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:

  • B. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company has established a defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company contributes monthly an amount based on 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

(15) RETAINED EARNINGS

  • A. Pursuant to the amended R.O.C. Company Act, the current year's after-tax earnings should be used initially to cover any accumulated deficit; thereafter 10% of the remaining earnings should be set aside as legal reserve until the balance of legal reserve is equal to that of paid-in capital. The legal reserve shall be exclusively used to cover accumulated deficit, to issue new stocks, or to distribute cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership. The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash dividends to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion in excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.

  • B. Since the Company is in a changeable industry environment and the life cycle of the Company is in a stable growth, the appropriation of earnings should consider fund requirements and capital budget to decide how much earnings will be kept or distributed and how much cash dividends will be distributed. According to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, 10% of the annual net income, after offsetting any loss of prior years and paying all taxes and dues, shall be set aside as legal reserve. The remaining net income and the unappropriated retained earnings from prior years can be distributed in accordance with a resolution passed during a meeting of the Board of Directors and approved at the stockholders' meeting. Of the amount to be distributed by the Company, stockholders’ dividends shall comprise 50% to 100% of the unappropriated retained earnings, and the percentage of cash dividends shall not be less than 30% of dividends distributed.

  • C. In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside special reserve for the debit balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When debit balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount could be included in the distributable earnings. The amounts previously set aside by the Company as special reserve on initial application of IFRSs in accordance with Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Letter No. 1010012865, dated April 6, 2012, shall be reversed proportionately when the relevant assets are used, disposed of or reclassified subsequently.

  • D. The Company recognised cash dividends distributed to owners amounting to $379,555 ($0.48 (in dollars) per share) for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company recognised cash dividends and stock dividends distributed to owners amounting to $228,098 ($0.30 (in dollars) per share) and $304,130 ($0.40 (in dollars) per share) for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

(3) Fair value information

  • A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Company’s investment in listed stocks is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Company’s investment in

~B-54~

foreign exchange contracts is included in Level 2.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Company’s investment in equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.

  • B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

  • The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables (including related party), guarantee deposits paid, other financial assets - non-current, short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable (including related party), other payables, guarantee deposits received are approximate to their fair values.

  • (c)When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, debt instruments without active market, interest rate swap contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts and options, the Company adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.

  • (d)Forward foreign exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.

Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently assess to make any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.

  • H. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:

Significant Range Relationship Fair value at Valuation unobservable (weighted of inputs to December 31, 2018 technique input average) fair value Non-derivative equity instrument: - Unlisted� shares $ 200,046 Net asset Not applicable The higher the value net asset value, the higher the fair value

  • I. The Company has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value. However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in different measurement. If the net assets value increased or decreased by 1% for Level 3, however, the effect on other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2018 is immaterial.

~B-56~

(4) Effects on initial application of IFRS 9 and information on application of IAS 39 in 2017

  • A. Summary of significant accounting policies adopted in 2017:

  • (a) Receivables

    • Accounts receivable are receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. They are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
  • (b) Available for sale financial assets

    • i. They are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.

    • ii. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

    • iii. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured or derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are presented in ‘financial assets carried at cost’.

  • (c) Impairment of financial assets

    • i. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a Company of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or Company of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

    • ii. The criteria that the Company uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:

    • (i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

    • (ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

    • (iii) Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group;

~B-57~

  • (iv) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered;

  • (v) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

  • iii. When the Company assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:

  • (i) Financial assets carried at cost

    • The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at current market return rate of similar financial asset, and is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment loss recognised for this category shall not be reversed subsequently. Impairment loss is recognised by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
  • (ii) Financial assets at amortised cost

    • The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognised previously. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
  • (d) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • i. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading or financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. 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:

  • (i) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or

  • (ii) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

~B-58~

  - (iii) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management policy.

  - ii Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.
  • (e) Financial guarantee contracts

    • A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the Company to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract is initially recognised at its fair value adjusted for transaction costs on the trade date. After initial recognition, the financial guarantee is measured at the higher of the initial fair value less cumulative amortisation and the best estimate of the amount required to settle the present obligation on each balance sheet date.
  • B. The reconciliations of carrying amount of financial assets transferred from December 31, 2017, IAS 39, to January 1, 2018, IFRS 9, were as follows:

  • Under IFRS 9, financial assets carried at cost amounting to $391,097 were not held for the purpose of trading, and the Company has made an irrevocable election to reclassify as “Financial assets at fair value though other comprehensive income’’ amounting to $539,572, and increased other equity interest in the amount of $148,475.

  • C. The significant accounts as of December 31, 2017 are as follows:

  • (a) Financial assets carried at cost - non-current

er equity interest in the amount of $148,475.

  • i. The Company classified some of its equity investments as available-for-sale financial assets, based on its intention. However, as these stocks are not traded in an active market, and there is no sufficient information of similar companies in the industry, fair value of the investments cannot be measured reliably. Accordingly, the Company classified those stocks as “financial assets carried at cost”.

  • ii. As of December 31, 2017, no financial assets carried at cost held by the Company were pledged to others.

  • (d) Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According to the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Company is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents outstanding receivables. The Company also transacts with many different banks and financial institutions to diversity risk.

  • (e) For the year ended December 31, 2017, no credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods.

~B-60~

(5) Effects of initial application of IFRS 15 and information on application of IAS 11 and IAS 18 in

2017

  • A. The significant accounting policies applied on revenue recognition for the year ended December 31, 2017 are set out below:

  • (a) Sales of goods

    • The Company manufactures and sells API and intermediates, etc. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognised when the Company has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.
  • (b) Sales of services

    • The Company provides technology development and research and development consulting. Revenue from rendering services is recognised under the percentage-of-completion method when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of a service contract is measured by the percentage of the actual services performed as of the financial reporting date to the total services to be performed by surveys of work performed.
  • B. The revenue recognised by using above accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2017 are as follows:

2017 are as follows:
For the year ended
December31,2017
Sales revenue $ 3,424,568
Less: Sales returns ( 224,923)
Net sales revenue 3,199,645
Technical services 109,477
Other operating revenue 140,053
$ 3,449,175
  • C. If the Company continues adopting above accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2018, the effect and description on current balance sheet are as follows. The effect on the statement of comprehensive income is immaterial.

Under IFRS 15, liabilities in relation to customer contracts are recognised as contract liabilities,
