I. Letter to Shareholders
Dear shareholders,
1. 2019 Business Report:
In�the�first�half�of�2019,�the�annual�maintenance�of�SM�plants�in�Asia�concentrated�from�March�to�May,� during�which�the�capacity�loss�was�about�640,000�tons.�In�addition,�affected�by�floods,�heavy�fog�and�fire�in� the dock storage tank, the shipment of SM exports in the United States was seriously delayed, which affected the arrival of goods to customers in Europe and Northeast Asia, such as South Korea and Taiwan; the SM price�was�therefore�supported.�On�the�cost�side,�due�to�the�new�production�capacity�of�benzene,�the�benzene� market�suffered�an�oversupply,�and�the�price�of�benzene�was�weak;�in�addition,�the�demand�for�ethylene�was� weak�and�the�price�kept�falling�all�the�way,�resulting�in�a�good�profit�of�the�SM�products�of�the�Company�in� the�first�half�of�2019.
However, unhappy with the Chinese government's progress of purchasing US agricultural products, on August 1, 2019, Donald Trump announced in Twitter that the United States would impose a 10% tariff on all�China's�remaining�exports�to�the�United�States�with�a�value�of�US$300�billion�since�September�1,�2019.� Under�the�influence�of�uncertain�factors�such�as�the�aggravation�of�the�US-China�trade�war,�the�economic� growth of emerging markets such as mainland China is slowing down, the demand for terminal products is declining, and the downstream demand for SM is also slowing down. Due to the resumption of production in the second half of the year, SM products from Europe and America were�re-supplied�to�Northeast�Asia.�With�a�sufficient�supply�and�slow�demand,�the�SM�price�in�Northeast� Asia�fell�rapidly�since�mid-September�2019.�In�addition,�it�is�expected�that�about�1.92�million�tons�of�new� SM�capacity�will�be�put�into�production�in�the�first�quarter�of�this�year�(2020),�resulting�in�a�collapse�of� the SM price in the fourth quarter of 2019 and a loss of the Company. In 2019, the annual SM output was 357,719�tons,�a�decrease�of�938�tons�(about�0.26%)�from�2018;�the�sales�volume�of�SM�was�355,644�tons,�a� decrease�of�64�tons�(about�0.02%)�from�2018.
The consolidated revenue of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Group in the last year was NT$12,219.39 million,�a�decrease�of�NT$3,163.27�million�from�the�previous�year,�and�the�consolidated�net�profit�before�tax� was NT$1,034.76 million, a decrease of NT$512.91 million from the previous year. The consolidated net profit�after�tax�was�NT$881.76�million,�and�the�consolidated�net�profit�after�tax�attributable�to�the�owner�of� the Company was NT$882.07 million.
The Company's individual revenue was NT$11,717.89 million, accounting for 95.90% of the consolidated revenue.
A�summary�of�the�Company's�individual�business�in�2019�is�as�follows:
Comparison of production and sales of main products of the Company in 2019 and 2018: The annual output of SM in 2019 was 357,719 tons, a decrease of 938 tons from 358,657 tons in 2018; the annual sales volume was 355,644 tons, a decrease of 64 tons from 355,708 tons in 2018. In 2019, the annual output of p-diethyl�benzene�was�5,682�tons,�an�increase�of�431�tons�from�5,251�tons�in�2018;�the�annual�sales�volume� was 5,346 tons, an increase of 54 tons from 5292 tons in 2018.
The operating revenue of the Company in 2019 was NT$11,717,894 thousand, a decrease of NT$3,088,650�thousand�(-20.86%)�from�NT$14,806,544�thousand�in�2018;�the�net�profit�after�tax�in�2019�
2
was�NT$882,065�thousand,�a�decrease�of�NT$334,336�thousand�(-27.49%)�from�NT$1,216,401�thousand�in� 2018. The operating income from reinvestment in 2019 was NT$501,495 thousand, a decrease of NT$74,615 thousand�(-12.95%)�from�NT$576,110�thousand�in�2018.

-
Looking�forward�to�2020,�the�global�outbreak�of�the�coronavirus�and�the�failure�of�OPEC�+�1�on� March 6 to deepen its production reduction have resulted in adverse economic effects such as a sharp drop�in�crude�oil�prices,�thus�raising�concerns�about�the�global�economic�growth�this�year.�OECD� released�a�global�economic�growth�forecast�on�March�2,�and�lowered�the�economic�growth�rate�from� 0.5% to 2.4%. If the new coronavirus epidemic is expanding worldwide, it even estimated that the global�growth�rate�would�be�revised�downward�to�1.5%�this�year.�In�addition,�about�3.72�million�tons� of�new�SM�capacity�will�be�put�into�production�in�mainland�China�this�year,�which�will�make�the�SM� market�competition�more�fierce�this�year.�In�terms�of�production,�the�second�SM�production�line�of�the� Company�has�completed�its�annual�repair�in�the�first�quarter�of�this�year,�and�it�is�estimated�that�the� current�annual�production�is�359,240�tons�and�the�sales�volume�is�360,000�tons,�slightly�better�than� last year.

As�more�than�80%�of�p-diethyl�benzene�products�are�exported�and�handled�through�bidding,�we�will� try�our�best�to�win�the�bidding.�The�production�and�sales�target�this�year�is�3,000�tons.
3. Future Development Strategy of the Company:
The Company will continue to strengthen the competitiveness of its SM products. This year, we will start�the�SM1�debottlenecking�project�to�reduce�energy�costs�and�raw�material�consumption;�the�project�is� expected�to�be�completed�in�March�2021,�which�will�make�the�Company's�products�more�competitive�and� improve�the�Company's�business�performance.�In�addition,�we�will�strive�to�expand�the�sales�channels�of� p-diethyl�benzene�products�and�seek�strategic-alliance�manufacturers.
4. Impact of External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment and Overall Business Environment
Due�to�the�rise�of�mainland�China,�its�petrochemical�production�capacity�has�been�greatly�expanded.� In addition, the rising awareness of environmental protection in Taiwan and the increasingly strict environmental�laws�and�regulations�make�the�future�business�environment�even�more�severe.
We will continue to improve our work, and meet the requirements of work safety and environmental protection,�such�as�production�safety,�energy�conservation�and�carbon�reduction�when�setting�our� business�objectives,�so�as�to�overcome�the�challenges�that�follow.�The�Company�will�continue�to�develop,� continuously�improve�production�technology,�reduce�production�costs�and�improve�business�performance,� and�will�continue�to�strengthen�the�management�of�the�investment�business�to�seek�the�best�interests�of� shareholders in return for their support and expectations.
I wish you all good health and good luck

The remuneration committee refers to the general pay level of the same industry and factors�in�the�relevance�and�reasonableness�of�the�company's�operating�performance,�personal�performance� and future risks. The Board of Directors comprehensively considers the amount of remuneration, the mode of payment�and�the�future�risks�of�the�company�before�submitting�it�to�the�shareholders'�meeting�for�approval.
In accordance with Article 31 of the articles of incorporation, the remuneration of the directors of the company�may�be�calculated�at�a�rate�not�exceeding�2.5%�of�the�profits�of�the�current�year,�with�reasonable� remuneration given after taking into consideration the operating achievements of the company and their contribution�to�the�performance�of�the�company.�The�remuneration�policy�for�the�general�managers�and� deputy�general�managers�is�based�on�the�company's�"salary�management�policy"�and�the�salary�level�of� the�position�in�the�industry,�as�well�as�the�scope�of�the�powers�and�responsibilities�of�the�position�within� the�company�and�the�contribution�to�the�company's�operating�objectives.�Procedures�for�determining� remuneration�are�based�on�the�company's�"Regulations�for�Performance�Evaluation�of�Directors�and� Managerial�Officers."�In�addition�to�referring�to�the�company's�overall�operating�performance,�future�business� risks and development trends, it also takes into account individual performance achievement rates and contribution�to�the�company's�performance�before�providing�reasonable�compensation.�Relevant�performance� appraisals�and�salary�reasonableness�are�reviewed�by�the�remuneration�committee�and�the�board�of�directors,� with�the�compensation�system�duly�examined�according�to�the�actual�business�conditions�and�relevant�laws� and�regulations,�so�as�to�achieve�a�balance�between�the�sustainable�operation�and�risk�control.

However, the company's internal�control�system�has�a�self-monitoring�mechanism.�Once�the�deficiencies�are�identified,�the�company�will�take� corrective action.
-
The company judges whether the design and implementation of the internal control system are effective or not according to the criteria for the effectiveness of the internal control system as stipulated in the Regulations Governing Establishment�of�Internal�Control�Systems�by�Public�Companies�(the�Regulations).�The�internal�control�system� criteria�adopted�in�the�Regulations�is�to�classify�the�system�into�five�elements�according�to�the�process�of�management� control:�1)�control�environment;�2)�risk�assessment;�3)�control�activities;�4)�information�and�communications,�and� 5)�supervision�activities.�Each�element�also�includes�several�items.�For�the�foregoing�items,�please�refer�to�the� provisions of the Regulations.
-
4.�The�company�has�adopted�the�above�internal�control�system�criteria�to�evaluate�the�effectiveness�of�the�design�and� implementation of the internal control system.
-
Based on the results of the foregoing assessment, the company considers that the design and implementation of its�internal�control�system�(including�supervision�and�management�of�its�subsidiaries)�as�of�December�31,�2019,� including�the�understanding�of�the�effectiveness�of�operations�and�the�extent�to�which�efficiency�objectives�have� been�achieved,�report�reliability,�timeliness,�transparency�and�compliance�with�relevant�codes�and�regulations,�are� effective,�and�can�reasonably�ensure�the�achievement�of�the�above�goals.
-
6.�This�Statement�will�constitute�the�main�content�of�the�company's�annual�report�and�public�statement�and�be�made� public.�If�any�of�the�contents�disclosed�above�is�found�to�be�false,�have�concealment�or�other�illegal�matters,�it�will� involve�legal�liabilities�under�Articles�20,�32,�171�and�174�of�the�Securities�and�Exchange�Act.

(2)�Industry�overview
- Current situation and development of styrene industry
The�company's�main�product,�styrene�monomer�(SM),�is�a�key�intermediate�raw�material�in� petrochemical�industry.�It�is�the�basic�raw�material�of�polystyrene�(PS),�acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene�resin�(ABS)�and�other�plastics�in�five�pan-plastics.�As�a�bulk�petrochemical�raw�material,�its� demand�is�closely�related�to�global�economic�growth�(GDP).
In�the�first�half�of�2019,�the�annual�maintenance�of�SM�plants�in�Asia�concentrated�from�March� to�May,�during�which�the�capacity�loss�was�about�640,000�tons.�In�addition,�affected�by�floods,� heavy�fog�and�fire�in�the�dock�storage�tank,�the�shipment�of�SM�exports�in�the�United�States�was� seriously delayed, which affected the arrival of goods to customers in Europe and Northeast Asia, such as South Korea and Taiwan; the SM price was therefore supported. On the cost side, due to the new�production�capacity�of�benzene,�the�benzene�market�suffered�an�oversupply,�and�the�price�of� benzene�was�weak;�in�addition,�the�demand�for�ethylene�was�weak�and�the�price�kept�falling�all�the� way,�resulting�in�a�good�profit�of�the�SM�products�of�the�Company�in�the�first�half�of�2019.
However, unhappy with the Chinese government's progress of purchasing US agricultural products, on August 1, 2019, Donald Trump announced in Twitter that the United States would impose a 10% tariff�on�all�China's�remaining�exports�to�the�United�States�with�a�value�of�US$300�billion�since� September�1,�2019.�Under�the�influence�of�uncertain�factors�such�as�the�aggravation�of�the�US-China�
65
trade war, the economic growth of emerging markets such as mainland China is slowing down, the demand for terminal products is declining, and the downstream demand for SM is also slowing down. Due to the resumption of production in the second half of the year, SM products from Europe and America�were�re-supplied�to�Northeast�Asia.�With�a�sufficient�supply�and�slow�demand,�the�SM�price� in�Northeast�Asia�fell�rapidly�since�mid-September�2019.�In�addition,�it�is�expected�that�about�1.92� million�tons�of�new�SM�capacity�will�be�put�into�production�in�the�first�quarter�of�this�year�(2020),� resulting in a collapse of the SM price in the fourth quarter of 2019 and a loss of the Company.
Comparison of production and sales of main products of the Company in 2019 and 2018: The annual output of SM in 2019 was 357,719 tons, a decrease of 938 tons from 358,657 tons in 2018; the annual sales volume was 355,644 tons, a decrease of 64 tons from 355,708 tons in 2018. In 2019, the annual output�of�p-diethyl�benzene�was�5,682�tons,�an�increase�of�431�tons�from�5,251�tons�in�2018;�the�annual� sales volume was 5,346 tons, an increase of 54 tons from 5292 tons in 2018.
Looking�forward�to�2020,�the�global�outbreak�of�the�coronavirus�pandemic�and�the�failure�of�OPEC�+� 1 on March 6 to deepen its production reduction have resulted in adverse economic effects such as a sharp�drop�in�crude�oil�prices,�thus�raising�concerns�about�the�global�economic�growth�this�year.�OECD� released�a�global�economic�growth�forecast�on�March�2,�and�lowered�the�economic�growth�rate�from� 0.5% to 2.4%. If the new coronavirus epidemic is expanding worldwide, it even estimated that the global�growth�rate�would�be�revised�downward�to�1.5%�this�year.�In�addition,�about�3.72�million�tons� of�new�SM�capacity�will�be�put�into�production�in�mainland�China�this�year,�which�will�make�the�SM� market�competition�more�fierce�this�year.

Styrene�monomer�(SM)�is�one�of�the�indispensable�intermediate�raw�materials�in�the�petrochemical� industry.�Its�downstream�derivatives,�such�as�ABS,�PS,�SBR�and�EPS,�have�been�greatly�in� demand�in�recent�years�due�to�the�booming�development�of�electronics,�household�appliances,� office�automation�and�automobile�industries.�The�domestic�demand�is�equivalent�to�the�production� capacity�of�domestic�manufacturers.�Last�year,�the�domestic�demand�was�about�1.88�million�metric� tons, the domestic production was 2.11 million metric tons, the import was 310,000 metric tons, and the export was 540,000 metric tons. We are on good terms with our customers. Last year, our styrene sales volume was mainly supplied to our long-term contract customers, accounting for 94.6% and 5.4% for exports.
Looking�forward�to�2020,�the�global�outbreak�of�the�coronavirus�pandemic�and�the�failure�of�OPEC� +�1�on�March�6�to�deepen�its�production�reduction�have�resulted�in�adverse�economic�effects�such� as�a�sharp�drop�in�crude�oil�prices,�thus�raising�concerns�about�the�global�economic�growth�this� year.�OECD�released�a�global�economic�growth�forecast�on�March�2,�and�lowered�the�economic� growth rate from 0.5% to 2.4%. If the new coronavirus epidemic is expanding worldwide, it even estimated�that�the�global�growth�rate�would�be�revised�downward�to�1.5%�this�year.�In�addition,� about�3.72�million�tons�of�new�SM�capacity�will�be�put�into�production�in�mainland�China�this� year,�which�will�make�the�SM�market�competition�more�fierce�this�year.

(2)Advantages�and�disadvantages�of�development
-
①Favorable�factors�for�development
-
A.�In�order�to�improve�the�profitability�and�reduce�the�production�cost,�the�Company�is� currently working on the following:
-
First�-line�styrene�plant�debottlenecking�project:�The�project�contracting�has�been� completed, with the purpose of reducing energy cost and raw material consumption. It is expected�to�be�completed�in�March,�2021,�which�will�make�our�products�more�competitive.
-
②Unfavorable�factors�for�development
-
A. The total-volume pollution control in the southern area will restrict the development of industries,�especially�the�petrochemical�industry.�Because�the�old�facilities�cannot�be� replaced�and�the�production�capacity�cannot�be�expanded,�Taiwan's�petrochemical�industry� can only remain the status quo with any development.
-
B.�The�global�outbreak�of�the�coronavirus�pandemic�and�the�failure�of�OPEC�+�1�on�March�6� to deepen its production reduction have resulted in adverse economic effects such as a sharp drop�in�crude�oil�prices,�thus�raising�concerns�about�the�global�economic�growth�this�year.� OECD�released�a�global�economic�growth�forecast�on�March�2,�and�lowered�the�economic� growth rate from 0.5% to 2.4%. If the new coronavirus epidemic is expanding worldwide, it even�estimated�that�the�global�growth�rate�would�be�revised�downward�to�1.5%�this�year.�
-
C.�About�3.72�million�tons�of�new�SM�capacity�will�be�put�into�production�in� mainland China this year, and 1.9 million tons of new SM production will be�put�into�a�trial�production�in�February;�this�will�make�the�SM�market� competition�more�fierce�this�year,�and�we�need�to�be�cautious�about�the�situation.

The main reasons for the increase or decrease of more than 20% and the total assets of 1% are:
-
1.�The�decrease�in�cash�and�cash�equivalents�is�mainly�due�to�the�decrease�in�2019�profit�before�tax�and� acquisition�of�equipment,�and�the�distribution�of�cash�dividends.

-
4.�The�increase�in�financial�assets�at�fair�value�through�other�comprehensive�income�-�noncurrent�and� the decrease in investments accounted for using equity method are mainly due to the fact that the Company had not recognized the capital increase of the participating affiliates in accodance with the percentage of shares held, resulting in a decrease in percentage of shareholding. Therefore, investments�accounted�for�using�equity�method�is�reclassified�to�financial�assets�at�fair�value�through� other comprehensive income - noncurrent.
-
5.�The�decrease�in�other�payables�is�mainly�due�to�a�decrease�in�salary�payable�in�this�period�compared� to the previous period.
