Test Rite International Co., Ltd. Business Report

Dear shareholders,

Test-Rite reports its FY2015 revenue of NT$35.98 bn, 0.1% YoY; net income of NT$671 mn, -5.0% YoY; and basic EPS of NT$1.32, -6.7% YoY.

Even though trading volume is declining worldwide in 2015, Test-Rite trading business maintains its growth of 0.4% YoY. Being the supplier of many of the world’s major retailers, we have closely observed the rapid changes of global retail industry. Therefore, Test-Rite focuses more on providing value-added services and products to our global partners. As for our retail business in Taiwan, TLW and HOLA remain its leading position in DIY and home décor category in Taiwan. Taiwan retail business has slight growth of 0.6%. Along with the growth of E-Commerce, TLW and HOLA continue strengthening its online sales and offline shopping experiences. To better achieve Omni-channel, we also encourage customers to transfer online/mobile browsing to offline traffic. As for China, HOLA China declines 2.4% comparing to the last year. HOLA China is facing greater challenges in 2015 due to the changes of people’s shopping behavior and incremental wages and rents.

Taiwan retail businesses, including TLW (DIY) and Hola Taiwan saw sales of NT$17.3 bn and a net profit of NT$604 mn in FY2015. Private Label strategy has come into effects in the past year, contributing 0.6% increase in gross margin equivalent to NT$140 mn increase. TLW Private Label products accounted for 8.5% TLW sales in 2015, along with 21.8% sales growth. On the other hand, HOLA Private Label products accounted for 19.8% HOLA sales, along with 46.9% sales growth. In 2015, Test-Rite opened two HOLA stores in Taiwan at Miaoli and Pintung. Test-Rite also becomes the franchisee of the reputed American home décor store, Crate&Barrel. By introducing the classic American style brand to Taiwan, Test-Rite expects to continue expanding its leading market share in home décor category. As for China, HOLA china opened 5 stores and closed 2 stores in 2015. HOLA china continues reviewing the profitability of each store and developing its business in EC and franchise. We have seen some progress after relaunching our EC plan in the mid-2014. HOLA China has now entered the TMall.com, JD.com and Xiaohongshu. These platforms together generated about RMB$5.16 mn sales in 2015. Test-Rite group has about 26 TLW stores, 25 HOLA Taiwan stores, and 38 HOLA China stores as of the cut-off-date.

Given that worldwide trading is declining in 2015, Test-Rite is resilient. Test-Rite focuses more on core customers’ relationship and development. By providing value-added services and products, our main market, North America and Europe, is showing steady growth. Total shipment to North America and Europe grew 0.2% and 28% respectively. Total trading revenue is about NT$13 bn, 0.4% YoY. Gross margin is close to the last year, but net income has 14.5% growth in 2015 reaching NT$615 mn.

In Jan-2015, we completed the acquisitions of three German trading subsidiaries. This is a key milestone for Test-Rite, as we now own 100% of our oversea sales offices. While we expect to continue to grow our German business via our newly acquired subsidiaries, we also intend to reestablish Test-Rite’s presence in Europe, by leveraging our newly acquired warehouse facilities in order to extend Test-Rite’s full service sourcing capabilities to our customers in Europe. Looking into 2015 and beyond, our newly established warehouse services in Yangmei and Shanghai FTZ will also serve as another key growth driver, as we are able to offer even more efficient, full service trading and sourcing capabilities our customers worldwide.

  • Pursue M&A opportunities for both trading and retail businesses to compliment organic growth of our existing businesses.

3. Potential influence from external competition, regulation and macroeconomic environment

Taiwanese government has tightened up the housing policy since the central bank proposed a series of actions to the housing market in 2013. Numbers of house transactions has decreased year by year. We expect the situation will be similar in 2016. To some extent, the low

    • 10 - -

==> picture [181 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

transaction amount has suppressed the DIY and home décor demand from new house buyers. However, we find another group of customers’ demand emerging. While many people feel that they’re not going to buy the house in the short/mid-term, they turned to spend some money to renovate their old house. To sum up, we feel the overall demand of DIY and home décor products will continue to grow in Taiwan.

In China, common people’s shopping behavior has significantly shifted to online buying. Besides, the authorities have continued to reign in the purported excess spending of wealthy individuals. The result is a substantial slowdown of retail sales. These issues, along with rising labor costs and rents, have significantly increased the challenges of our retail operation in China. However, as the Chinese consumers become more modernized and richer, the increasing demand of improving living environment of home is unchanged. Our aspiration to become the premier retail operator in home related categories remain unchanged.

2015 is a challenging year to all trading companies in the world. The global trading volume is decreasing in most of the major countries. Till Feb-2016, Taiwan export amount has experienced consecutive 13 months decreases, including 9 months double digit decreases. China, South Korea and Japan also face similar difficulties. However, Test-Rite is uniquely positioned as a supplier to many of the top retail in the world. Even though trading volume is declining worldwide in 2015, Test-Rite trading business maintains its growth. We intend to fully leverage our strengths to grow our principle shipments, add new agency customers, and continue to introduce new and unique products to our portfolio for both trading and retail operations.

Lastly, all staff of Test Rite Group will spare no efforts to adequately plan, and manage our trading, retail and other group businesses in an honest, sincere and dedicated manner, with the objective to improve our balance sheet and further enhance returns on shareholder equity (ROE). We, the management team of Test-Rite, on behalf of all the employees of the company, would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for your continued support and encouragement.

Sincerely yours,

Chairman: Judy Lee GM: Sophia Tong

Controller: Linda Lin

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Test-Rite International Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 (all expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars). These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in conformity 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 by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Test-Rite International Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 on which we have issued an unqualified report.

March 25, 2016

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such consolidated financial statements are those generally applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language independent auditors’ report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail. Also, as stated in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the additional footnote disclosures that are not required under accounting principles and practices generally applied in the Republic of China were not translated into English.
