Test Rite International Co., Ltd. Business Report

Dear shareholders,

Test-Rite reports its FY2016 revenue of NT$35.4 bn, -1.5% YoY; net income of NT$676 mn, 0.8% YoY; and basic EPS of NT$1.33, 0.8% YoY.

When we look back the year of 2016, financial result is similar to the comparable period, but Test-Rite has been deeply cultivating for future growth. First of all, Test-Rite has made the strategic alliance with Hillman, a renowned hardware importer in the USA. By leveraging Test-Rite's famous sourcing and supply chain management capability in Asia, both companies will create synergies and expand economic scales. Test-Rite is also honored to be rewarded as “supplier of the year” by O’Reilly. Furthermore, after 18 years, Test-Rite once again returned to the “Tools Category Manager” position in Walmart. By strengthening the collaboration with major customers, we expect the growth of trading will contribute significantly in future years. The burgeoning trading agency business also plays an important role while new customers and new products proliferating. In the second quarter of 2016, we launched a new business model to earn commissions by providing order management services. Through satisfying customers' various needs of services level, Test-Rite is better positioning ourselves as a total solution provider in the global supply chain management. The booming trading agency has shown 100.8% increases YoY, leading the total shipment of trading reaching its historical high of NT$23.6 bn, 29.6% YoY.

As for our retail business in Taiwan, TLW and HOLA remain its leading position in DIY and home décor industry. However, Test-Rite very carefully tackles the changing behavior of customers. The proposed new business model of retail aims to break the boundary between online and offline. To improve our online content, TLW and HOLA have doubled its online product skus in the past year. TLW and HOLA currently contain more than 40 thousands and 30 thousands skus separately. Both product skus have exceeded that in physical stores. Through the integration of POS system, customers can now easily extend the selections beyond in-store products, hence breaking the limits of displaying and inventory in physical stores. By guiding the massive offline memberships to online, we hope to fully eliminate the boundary in terms of product, payments, membership and marketing. We also reinforce experiential marketing in physical stores and create irreplaceable value of human by extending services into customers’ home. As a result, the “TLW Home Improvement Service Unit” made profit for the first time in 2016 since its establishment from 2010.

Taiwan retail businesses, including TLW (DIY) and Hola Taiwan saw sales of NT$17.6 bn and a net profit of NT$597 mn in FY2016. Affected by the chill real-estate market in Taiwan, consumers’ demands for replacement of household items are lowered. According to the government department of statistics, the wholesale of household items and building materials dropped at 4.85% and 2.78% YOY separately in 2016, both showing the biggest downturn in the past decade. Even though Taiwan retail market is sluggish, Test-Rite made 1.6% of positive growth YoY in 2016. Our private label has been growing more and more mature in terms of design and theme, accounted for more sales than ever. TLW Private Label products accounted for 12.8% TLW sales in 2016, along with 57.7% sales growth. On the other hand, HOLA Private Label products accounted for 26.3% HOLA sales, along with 27.8% sales growth. The purpose of private label is not only to bring about higher gross margin, it’s also an important step to build up differentiation in the market.

HOLA China showed NT$ 3.6 bn and net loss of NT$353 mn in FY2016. It was the most difficult year since we entered into the China market since 2004, but it’s also the best year because we have seen a very clear trend that consumption upgrade has extended from the richest to the middle class. The

average sales per ticket in China even exceed that in Taiwan. However, our challenge is to contend with changing behavior of Chinese customers. The way consumers absorb product information and do the purchase has greatly changed. Consequently, our first priority is no longer relying on opening physical stores, we closed 5 stores instead. By reviewing the profitability of each store, we want to increase the operation efficiency and focus on the region of east and north China where we have already had higher presence and brand awareness. Being able to increase the HOLA brand identity in the region and use E-commerce as supplementary channels to the spread out. As of the cut-off date, Test-Rite Group operated 27 TLW (DIY) stores, 25 HOLA stores in Taiwan, and 33 HOLA stores in China.

Below please find Test-Rite’s parent and consolidated operating result FY2016, along with business plan summary for FY2017 and future business strategy. We also included the highlight of possible impacts and challenges from external competition, changes in government regulations and global macroeconomic environment for your reference.

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

Taiwanese government published a series of policies to cool down the overheated housing market since 2013. The transaction numbers of household has decreased year by year. We expect the situation will be similar in 2017. The chill real-estate market has lowered consumers’ demands to replace household items. According to the government department of statistics, the wholesale of household items and building materials dropped at 4.85% and 2.78% YOY separately in 2016, both showing the biggest downturn in the past decade.

The USA has very strong economic recovery which pushes up the shipment of trading business. However, the newly elected U.S. government is swinging in its attitude toward an open global trading system. There are several other government elections undergoing in Europe. The emerging trade protectionism may require further observations to assess actual impacts to global trading. However, Test-Rite keeps moving forward to be a total solution provider in the global supply chain, increasing shipments and acquiring new customers.

In China, consumers’ behavior to absorb product information and do the purchase has greatly changed. 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 goal to become the premier retail operator in home related categories remain unchanged.

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

The following are key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016:

Sales Revenue Recognition

The recognition of sales revenue depends on whether the ownership and risks of goods have been transferred to customers, and the point of transferring ownership and risks of goods to customers of the Group is critical to the sales revenue recognition and the presentation of the financial statements. As a result, the recognition of sales revenue is regarded as a key audit matter of the 2016 consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements for disclosures of the accounting policies of sales revenue recognition.

Our audit procedures in response to sales revenue recognition consisted of the following: We reviewed the transaction terms of sales contracts and transaction documents to ensure that the Group’s accounting method of sales revenue recognition complied with the sales contracts and was consistently applied; and we selected samples of sales transactions and performed tests of the transaction details to verify the validity of the presentation of sales revenue.

Impairment of Accounts Receivable

As of December 31, 2016, the amount of accounts receivable was material for the Group, and the recognition of allowance for doubtful accounts was subject to management’s estimation of future cash flows. As a result, the impairment of accounts receivable is regarded as a key audit matter of the 2016 consolidated financial statements. Refer to Notes 4, 5 and 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further disclosures of accounts receivable and the impairment of accounts receivable.

Our audit procedures in response to accounts receivable and the impairment of accounts receivable consisted of the following: We evaluated the rationale of the assumptions used on the aging report of accounts receivable prepared by management and verified that the assumptions were consistent with those used in the prior year; we examined the calculations in the aging report; and we selected samples of outstanding balances from accounts receivable to assess their collectability by checking related cash collections after the balance sheet date.

Impairment of Goodwill

According to IFRS, management should perform an impairment review under IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” on an annual basis. As of December 31, 2016, the amount of goodwill was material for the Group, and the impairment of goodwill was subject to management’s significant judgment and estimation, including future cash flow predictions, discount rates and long term growth rates, which are influenced by the future market trends and/or economic conditions. As a result, the impairment of goodwill is regarded as a key audit matter of the 2016 consolidated financial statements. Refer to Notes 4, 5 and 14 of the consolidated financial statements for further disclosures of goodwill and the impairment of goodwill.

Our audit procedures in response to the impairment of goodwill consisted of evaluating the rationale of the significant assumptions, evaluation model, and basic information of the impairment test determined by management.

Other Matter

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, 2016 and 2015 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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, 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.

  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.

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

  4. 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.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters 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 Kuo-Tyan Hong and Ker-Chang Wu.
