2018 Business Report
In 2018, TSRC faced several significant industry challenges including weak demand for synthetic rubber caused by stagnant China automotive and tire market growth and abundant supply of lowprice natural rubber, aggressive competitive pricing actions, and the negative impact on economy from the trade dispute. On the positive side, the investment in strengthening our specialty business portfolio has paid dividend with increased sales and profit contribution from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and advanced shoe materials (ASM). Our ASM business alliance with global brands in launching high performance sport shoes was very successful, and we were able to run full capacity for all ASM production lines. In total, the shipment of synthetic rubber and TPE products was 453 thousand metric tons in 2018, down 6% versus prior year. Consolidated revenue was NTD 29,751 million, down 6% from the previous year. Consolidated gross profit was up 5% to NTD 3,489 million with the margin improved to12%. Consolidated operating profit was NTD 1,302 million, up 8% compared to 2017.
In addition, we were successful in turning around and significantly improving our joint venture investments in India and China with ISRPL (India) running at above 80% utilization rate in 2018 and turning in good profit, and ARLANXEO-TSRC (China) substantially improving its business performance and profitability. This led to growth in our investment income from the two JVs’ strong profit contribution and coupled with good effort in financial management, further boosted TSRC’s overall profit resulting in strong Net Income and EPS (Earnings Per Share) improvement over 2017, thereby offsetting the impact from the difficult challenges from the economy and end use market. As a result, net income was NTD 1,192 million and EPSwas NTD 1.44, representing a 36% increase from the previous year. 2018 net income and EPS has improved and is the highest in the past 5 years.

Technology innovation is a key foundation for TSRC in driving profitable growth in the long term. Over the past few years, we have successfully developed new solutions to support customers as well as engaging customers in new technology and product development. TSRC also focuses on developing new market segments and applications including material for medical devices, lubricant viscosity modifiers, green tires, and specialty films to improve our market position and value share of specialty polymers. The key research projects and progress milestones in 2018 include:
-
Continued development of SSBR microstructure control technology platform with breakthrough in functional modification, successfully applied in next generation products and received approval from global leading tire makers.
-
Launched the development of high-cis BR with new catalyst technology for use in plastic modification, tire, and shoe applications.
9
-
Technology development in co-polymerization, hydrogenation catalyst, and product finishing to support development of new generation of HSBC products which provide excellent mechanical properties and touch feel with application in films, medical, and automotive segments.
-
Successful development of medical SEBS with proprietary structural modification and new process technologies for high transparency films and nonwoven fiber for medical applications.
-
Continuous cooperation with leading global brands to jointly develop ASM with lightweight, rebound, anti-slip, and damping properties which can be applied via one-step injection process. We had already received positive confirmation from the market and customers entering into mass production process.
-
The Company was granted 6 patents in 2018.
Looking ahead, there is strong consensus on the slowdown of global economic growth in 2019 due to trade conflicts, currency and crude oil price volatility, geopolitical uncertainties, and the weakening of the China economy. It is projected that global investment and manufacturing activities will likely contract in 2019 as a result, especially if the trade tensions between the United States and China were to continue. There are significant uncertainties in global economy warranting a cautious business projection.

In addition to the macroeconomic uncertainties described above, TSRC is expected to confront various challenging market dynamics such as raw materials cost increases due to trade barriers, continued abundant supply of natural rubber suppressing demand and price of synthetic rubber, price erosion by over supply and aggressive competition, and weak demand due to trade dispute uncertainties. These factors pose significant challenges for TSRC to drive value capture and profitable growth. Nevertheless, we are still pushing hard to target a 4%increase in sales volume in 2019 through ASM growth, new geographic markets, and selective growth opportunities with on-purpose products.
The efforts to grow our specialty chemical business remain on track with the new 20 thousand metric tons per year advanced SEBS line in Nantong, China projected to complete in the end of 2019 and the new 7 thousand metric tons per year production facility in Binh Duong Province, Vietnam, for ASM scheduled to start production in first half of 2020. The new advanced SEBS production line will incorporate the latest manufacturing processes and technologies, focusing on products for medical applications such as fluid bags and tubes. These two expansion projects are critical in strengthening our market position in specialty chemical materials applications and market segments.
10
TSRC will continue to strengthen our competitive capabilities by enhancing our technology, quality, and customer services to respond to and win in a rapidly changing market condition. We are confident we will emerge from 2019 in a better position to grow the long term enterprise value of TSRC.

Basis for Opinion
II. Attachment
1. 2018 Business Report, Financial Statement and Audit Committee's Audit Report
We conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and the 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 the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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 of 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 consolidated financial statements for the year end December 31, 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
12
1. Revenue recognition
Please refer to note 4(q), 6(v) and note 6(w) for disclosures related to revenue recognition. Description of key audit matter:
Revenue is the key indicator used by investors and management while evaluating the Group's finance or operating performance. The Group initially adopted IFRS 15 and the accuracy of the timing and amount of revenue recognized have significant impact on the financial statements, for which the assumptions and judgments of revenue measurement and recognition rely on subjective judgments of the management.Therefore, we consider it as the key audit matter. How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Testing the effectiveness of design and implementing the internal control (both manual and system control) of sales and collecting cycle; reviewing the revenue recognition of significant sales contracts to determine whether the accounting treatment, key judgment, estimation, and accounting treatment are reasonable; analyzing the changes in top 10 customers from the most recent period and last year, and the changes in the price and quantity of each category of product line to determine whether if there are any significant misstatements; selecting sales transactions from a period of time before and after the balance sheet date, and verifying with the vouchers to determine the accuracy of the timing and amounts of revenue recognized; understanding whether if there is a significant subsequent sales return or discount; and reviewing whether the disclosure of revenue made by the management is appropriate.
2. Inventory measurement
- Please refer to note 4(h), note 5, and note 6(g) for disclosures related to inventory measurement. Description of key audit matter:
II. Attachment
1. 2018 Business Report, Financial Statement and Audit Committee's Audit Report
The inventory of the Group includes various types of synthetic rubber and its raw material. Since there is an oversupply and a low market demand in the rubber manufacturing industry, which may result in a decline on the price of raw material, the carrying value of inventories may exceed its net realizable value. The measurement of inventory depends on the evaluation of the management based on evidence from internal and external, both subjective and objective. Therefore, we consider it as the key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
The key audit procedures performed is to understand management's accounting policy of inventory measurement and determine whether if it is reasonable and is being implement. The procedures includes reviewing the inventory aging documents and analyzing its changes; obtaining the documents of inventory measurement and evaluating whether if the bases used for net realizable value is reasonable; selecting samples and verifying them with the vouchers to test the accuracy of the amount; and reviewing whether the disclosure of inventory measurement made by the management is appropriate.
13
Other Matter
TSRC Corporation has additionally prepared its parent Company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, on which we have issued an unqualified 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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 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 are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
II. Attachment
1. 2018 Business Report, Financial Statement and Audit Committee's Audit Report
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 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.
14
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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, 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.
II. Attachment
1. 2018 Business Report, Financial Statement and Audit Committee's Audit Report
-
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 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.
15
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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report are Po-Shu Huang and Ann-Tien Yu.

Basis for Opinion
II. Attachment
1. 2018 Business Report, Financial Statement and Audit Committee's Audit Report
We conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and the 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the TSRC Corporation in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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 of 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 financial statements for the year end December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
-
Revenue recognition
-
Please refer to note 4(q), note 6(t) and 6(u) for disclosures related to revenue recognition. Description of key audit matter:
24
Revenue is the key indicator used by investors and management while evaluating the TSRC Corporation's finance or operating performance. TSRC Corporation initially adopted IFRS 15 and the accuracy of the timing and amount of revenue recognized have significant impact on the financial statements, for which the assumptions and judgments of revenue measurement and recognition rely on subjective judgments of the management. Therefore, we consider it as the key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Testing the effectiveness of design and implementing the internal control (both manual and system control) of sales and collecting cycle; reviewing the revenue recognition of significant sales contracts to determine whether the accounting treatment key judgment, estimation, and accounting treatment are reasonable; analyzing the changes in top 10 customers from the most recent period and last year, and the changes in the price and quantity of each category of product line to determine whether if there are any significant misstatements; selecting sales transactions from a period of time before and after the balance sheet date, and verifying with the vouchers to determine the accuracy of the timing and amounts of revenue recognized; understanding whether if there is a significant subsequent sales return or discount; and reviewing whether the disclosure of revenue made by the management is appropriate.
- Inventory measurement
Please refer to note 4(g), note 5, and note 6(g) for disclosures related to inventory measurement. Description of key audit matter:
II. Attachment
1. 2018 Business Report, Financial Statement and Audit Committee's Audit Report
The inventory of TSRC Corporation includes various types of synthetic rubber and its raw material. Since there is an oversupply and a low market demand in the rubber manufacturing industry, which may result in a decline on the price of raw material, the carrying value of inventories may exceed its net realizable value. The measurement of inventory depends on the evaluation of the management based on evidence from internal and external, both subjective and objective. Therefore, we consider it as the key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
The key audit procedures performed is to understand management's accounting policy of inventory measurement and determine whether if it is reasonable and is being implement. The procedures includes reviewing the inventory aging documents and analyzing its changes; obtaining the documents of inventory measurement and evaluating whether if the bases used for net realizable value is reasonable; selecting samples and verifying them with the vouchers to test the accuracy of the amount; and reviewing whether the disclosure of inventory measurement made by the management is appropriate.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
25
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the TSRC Corporation'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 TSRC Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the TSRC Corporation's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the TSRC Corporation's internal control.
26
-
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, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the TSRC Corporation'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 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 TSRC Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 the entities or business activities within the TSRC Corporation to express an opinion on the 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.
27
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report are Po-Shu Huang and Ann-Tien Yu.
