  • (4)Strengthen the resource and energy management mechanism and develop various waste reduction programs.

IV. Influence of External Competition, Legal Requirements and Overall Business Environment

Looking back on the automobile market in Taiwan in 2019, we sold 440 thousand brand new vehicles, growing by 1% slightly higher than that of 2018. However, the Company's operating revenue from the domestic market was only 48% of its total revenue in 2019, reducing by 1% compared with that in 2018, as imported vehicles had continuously held an increasing market share. As for the export market, the exported products were 52% of the total sales, growing by 1% compared with that of 2018, due to the increase in orders of new model lights and molds from North America.

In 2020, the global economic growth rate is revised downwards as the COVID-19 virus spreads, and the global automobile industry is also impacted. For epidemic prevention, all countries have enhanced their prevention measures. Enterprises have also solidified their cooperation relationship with their upstream and downstream partners during the affected period to coordinate supply chains more flexible so as to spread the risks with respect to production of parts and components. Even though the epidemic still influences the performance of the domestic automobile industry, yet automobile sales will be boosted this year because a lot of new styles of automobiles have been launched on the market and the government policy of subsidizing the purchase of a new car to replace the existing one is going to be ended this year. It is expected that the domestic automobile sales volume will still be 440 thousand, almost the same as that of last year. In America and Japan, we intend to not only strive for domestic and overseas orders from Kioto Group, but also develop the market in North America continuously to get new customers and more orders of new model lights and molds. Moreover, to enhance production efficiency and reduce production cost, the Company will continuously conduct various improvement activities for cost rationalization.

In the coming future, the Company will strengthen corporate governance and business management continuously and invest in research and development consistently to create and maintain competition advantages. With the corporate philosophy of

12

sincerity and sustainable development, the Company, supported by all of you as shareholders and led by the excellent management team, guarantees its stable growth and consistent fulfillment of corporate social responsibility. We emphasize the interests of all stakeholders and will create reasonable profits and values for shareholders, employees and the society continuously. We hope that all of you as shareholders can support, encourage and direct us as usual.

We with you, ladies and gentlemen, good heath and the best of luck.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matter is the matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.

Key audit matter in the audit of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Sales Revenue from Hub Warehouse

Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd. mainly manufactures and sells automobile and locomotive lamps. The Company also sells its products to overseas markets. The sales pattern of overseas markets depends on the sales delivery from hub warehouse. Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd. usually relies on the statements or other information from the external custodians of hub warehouse when making important strategic decisions. The inventory change related to the delivery from hub warehouse is used as the basis for recognizing revenue, and the sales revenue is recognized when the customer picks up the goods (transfer of risks and rewards).

The sales revenue generated from the hub warehouse was \$1,348,678 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019, which accounted for 25% of the total operating revenue. Considering the fact that trading volume of revenue from the hub warehouse is significant to the consolidated financial statements of Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2019; therefore, the revenue recognition of the sales from hub warehouse needs to be verified through multiple internal controls and has been identified as a key audit matter.

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

    1. We sampled and examined the effectiveness of continuous operation of the relevant controls during the fiscal year.
    1. We confirmed the existence of the hub warehouse revenue by sampling the sales revenue from shipment of hub warehouse and checked the corresponding documents, such as export declarations and bills of lading.

Other Matter

We have also audited the standalone financial statements of Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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 for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance, including the supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and

are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, 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.
    1. 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.
    1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
    1. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
    1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or 6. business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine a matter that was of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and is therefore the key audit matter. We describe this matter in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are Chi-Chen Li, and Chao-Chin Yang.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd. (the "Company"), which comprise the standalone balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the standalone statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying standalone financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the standalone financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its standalone financial performance and its standalone 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matter is the matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.

Key audit matter in the audit of the Company's standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Sales Revenue from Hub Warehouse

Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd. mainly manufactures and sells automobile and locomotive lamps. The Company also sells its products to overseas markets. The sales pattern of overseas markets depends on the sales delivery from hub warehouse. Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd. usually relies on the statements or other information from the external custodians of hub warehouse when making important strategic decisions. The inventory change related to the delivery from hub warehouse is used as the basis for recognizing revenue, and the sales revenue is recognized when the customer picks up the goods (transfer of risks and rewards).

The sales revenue generated from the hub warehouse was \$ 1,348,678 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019, which accounted for 25% of the total operating revenue. Considering the fact that trading volume of revenue from the hub warehouse is significant to the standalone financial statements of Ta Yih Industrial Co., Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2019; therefore, the revenue recognition of the sales from hub warehouse needs to be verified through multiple internal controls and has been identified as a key audit matter.

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

    1. We sampled and examined the effectiveness of continuous operation of the relevant controls during the fiscal year.
    1. We confirmed the existence of the hub warehouse revenue by sampling the sales revenue from shipment of hub warehouse and checked the corresponding documents, such as export declarations and bills of lading.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

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

In preparing the standalone 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 the supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

    1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures $2.$ that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
    1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 4. based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
    1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the standalone financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine a matter that was of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and is therefore the key audit matter. We describe this matter in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are Chi-Chen Li, and Chao-Chin Yang.
