One. Letter to Our Shareholders
Dear Shareholders:
The year 2020 was turbulent due to the pandemic and the global economic recession. Countries around the world implemented control measures such as lockdowns, suspension of operations and closing the borders, in order to curb COVID-19. The orders from brand customers suddenly plummeted as their shops were temporarily shut. Indeed, all these uncertainties made the year extremely difficult. The Company’s increase of internal capacities during the year helped to control the attribution. Higher utilization reduces the fixed costs per unit, and this was reflected in the gross margin. As the pandemic gradually eased, the outlook turned positive in the second half of the year.
-
(1) Overview of 2020 Business Plan Implementations and Explanation of Operating Results and Achievements
-
Implementation of 2020 Business Plan
-
(1) Acceleration of capacity increase in Southeast Asia: The factory expansion, phaseout of old equipment and installation of new machinery in Cambodia boosted the Company’s internal capacity from 35% to 45%.
-
(2) Deepening of customer relations and development of new clientele: The Company became a supplier to NIKE and continued to develop branded customers in China during the year. In terms of customer satisfaction, the Company received Adidas’ 2020 Sustainability award as a fabric supplier in North Asia.
-
-
Achievements of Implementation of 2020 Business Plan and Execution of Budget The Company posted net sales of NT$5,389 million in 2020, down by 26.76% or NT$1,969 million from 2019. The operating profit was NT$555 million in 2020, up by 0.56% or NT$3 million from 2019. The net income reached NT$416 million in 2020, up by 7.19% or NT$28 million from 2019. The earnings per share was NT$13.25 in 2020.
Comparison with guidance:
According to the Regulations Governing the Publication of Financial Forecasts of Public Companies, the Company did not provide financial forecast for 2020. Hence, there is no comparison with guidance.

(2) 2021 Business Plan
- Deepening of footprint in Southeast Asia
Before the pandemic, branded customers sought to consolidate suppliers with one-stop management and supplies came from all over the world. After the COVID-19 breakout, local sourcing was emphasized to avoid supply chain disruptions. The trade war between China and the US has affected suppliers in the region, altered the dynamics of the global economy, and changed the landscape of the textile industry’s supply chain. The Company decided to set up an integrated facility for weaving and dyeing in Vietnam. This facility is expected to boost our capacity by 20-30%.
-
Development of new branded customers in China Most of the brands in China have made overseas acquisitions and they need partners in order to become international brands. As a long-standing business in the international brand market, the Company boasts the advantage in leading and connecting with the world and hence has the confidence to become a good partner to Chinese brands by offering the leadership
-
(3) R&D Initiatives for 2021
To meet with the need of branded customers, we develop fabrics and improve a diversity of new fabrics by optimizing and bettering existing manufacturing processes and materials utilization. The purpose is to provide a portfolio of new products differentiated and with high value added.
In response to customers’ requirements, the Company’s short-term plan is to establish the facility in Vietnam, so that we have internal capacities in Cambodia and Vietnam and suppliers in China. This will be a breakthrough from the status quo with repositioning for the group. It will enhance our leadership further ahead of competitors and boost our profits with a blue ocean strategy for the constantly changing marketplace.
Finally, allow me to wish all our shareholders all the best. Thanks for your support.

According to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, we are in the growth stage. To meet the funding requirements, business expansion and robust financial planning for sustainable development, the Company’s dividend policy shall be based on future capex projects and capital requirements. Dividends shall be issued in cash or stocks to shareholders.
Unless otherwise specified by the Cayman Island laws, regulations governing companies listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or the Taipei Exchange, or by the Articles of Incorporation, or otherwise defined regarding the rights attached to shares, if the Company reports earnings at the end of a fiscal year, the Board of Directors shall distribute earnings after the completion of the steps below:
-
(1) tax payments to be allocated as required by laws;
-
(2) Making up cumulative losses in prior years (if any);
-
(3) Appropriation or reversal of special surpluses as stipulated by the laws governing publicly issued companies or required by competent authorities.
Unless otherwise specified by laws or regulations governing publicly issued companies, the earnings during the year less than the amounts from (1) to (3) above and plus the unappropriated earnings in prior years are distributable earnings. The
51
Board of Directors may propose an earnings distribution plan and forward it to the shareholder meeting for approval. Earnings may be distributed in cash or dividends (with additional paid-in capital converted with earnings to allocate to shareholders on a pro rata basis). If the Board of Directors would like to distribute earnings, stock dividends should be at least 40% of the earnings during the year less the amounts from (1) to (3). Cash dividends shall be at least 20% equivalent of the stock dividends.
- Proposed distribution of earnings at the shareholder meeting:
The Board of Directors decided on March 24, 2021 to issue a cash dividend of NT$6.5 per share, for a total of NT$203,769 thousand. Once the proposal is passed by the shareholder meeting, the Board of Directors shall authorize Chairman to determine the ex-dividend date and the distribution date.

If the Company reports profits for the year, 1% to 10% of the annual profits should be allocated as remunerations to employees and 5% or less to directors. In case of any losses carried forward, earnings should be prioritized for making up such losses. Remunerations to employees may be in cash or stocks, according to Employee Incentive Plan agreed on the basis of Article 11.1. The employees mentioned in this context may include the employees of the affiliated companies that meet certain criteria. The allocation of remunerations to employees requires the approval of a board meeting with at least two thirds of the directors present and at least half of the attending directors agreeing. The proposal shall be reported to the shareholder meeting. The directors who are also executives in other companies or affiliated companies may be entitled to remunerations both as directors and as employees.
- Accounting treatment for any difference between the estimation of remunerations to employees, directors, and supervisors and the remunerations in stocks to employees and the actual distributed amount during the current period
The remunerations to employees, directors, and supervisors are estimated for the possible allocations pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation. If the estimated amount is different from the amount approved by the shareholder meeting, adjustments shall be recognized during the year the approval is made.

(1) Current status and developments
- A. Global market of fabrics and ready-made garments
According to the 2020 World Trade Report issued by the World Trade Organization (WTO), the annual growth rate of the world textile trade amount in 2019
54
declined by 2.4% to US$305 billion, and the apparel trade amount declined by 0.4% to US$492 billion. One of the reasons for the decline of textile and apparel trades was China-USA trade war.
In respect of textile exports, the top three export districts were China, 28 EU countries and India, representing 66.9% of global textile exports. The annual growth rate of textile exports in Vietnam increased by 8.3%, exceeding that of Taiwan, and became one of the top seven global export countries. According to the report of WTO, the market share of China in the world textile exports created the new record of 39.2%.
In respect of the apparel exports, the top four apparel export countries, China, 28 EU countries, Bangladesh and Vietnam, contributed 71.4 market shares of the global apparel market. However, the report of WTO also indicated that the market share of China declined to 30.8% from 31.3% of 2018.
In respect of textile imports, in 2019, the total of the top two import countries, USA and 28 EU countries, represented 31.2% of global textile imports. Vietnam became the third textile import country.
In respect of apparel exports, in 2019, the top three apparel import countries, 28 EU countries, USA and Japan purchased a total of 58.1% of global apparels.
- B. Global sports and fitness apparel market
The sport goods industry has encountered the first shrink in 2020 since the financial crisis in 2008. Although the business activities bounced once between two COVID pandemics, most of brands, retailers and manufacturers closed in negative figures. The pandemic not only impacted temporary sales performances, but also accelerated the revolution, which has a long-term affection on the enterprise growth period in the value chain of sports goods. This pandemic has brought the industries to the next wave of normality, of which the constituent elements include the rise of the demand for digital commerce and sustainable products, and the increase in the participation of various sports.
COVID pandemic in 2020 caused severe impact on the global sport apparel market and the recession of sales of most enterprises. Mainland China was an exception. Its compound annual growth rate expanded by 16.5% from 2015 to 2019 and is the growth engine of the industry continually.
The degrees of impact on specific sports are different depending on the degree of difficulty they conducted under the lockdown circumstances. Outdoor individual sports and home fitness sports become popular, but group sports and indoor sports are struggling and is impacted by the postpone or cancellation of main sport events. Emerging business opportunities reside in female apparel, home fitness, running and
55
Yoga/Pilates sport wearing as the focus.

A change of consumers has also been observed from this pandemic. Sport and leisure were the big trend before the pandemic, but boundary line between the work and leisure becomes fuzzier. Comfortable dressing in the occasion which requires formal dressing becomes acceptable more and more.
- (2) Upper, mid to downstream of the supply chain
Ready-made garment is produced with materials produced with wool, cotton, or petrochemicals in the upper stream. These materials are woven into yarns and made into cloths, which are dyed, finished, or processed before cutting, sewing, weaving, or knitting into ready-made garments and other textile products. Finally, the garments and products are sold to consumers via brand channels and distributors. Below is an illustration of value chain activities from upper, mid to downstream.

- (3) Product trends
Athleisure is in and functional sports products are popular. This is the driver of steady growth in the athletic apparel industry. As a result, sports brands are increasingly demanding for the quality of cloths. In addition, they also require the manufacturing process to be environmental-friendly and the products to provide high performances. In the past, OEM clients (i.e. sports brands) offered technology and textile suppliers manufactured products. Nowadays suppliers are required to have the capability to develop fabrics to stand out in the competition. The design of new products for sports brands should stay on top of changing preferences of consumers and balance between fashion and function.
Dyeing and finishing are an important process of fabric manufacturing. Cloth is placed into a dye vat to acquire the desired color. In the past, dyeing a kilogram of cloth consumed at least 200 liters of water. However, the improvement of the manufacturing process has gradually reduced this ratio. Meanwhile, OEM clients began to pay attention to energy efficiency of manufacturing processes and incorporated this in their assessment of textile suppliers. Therefore, the improvement of manufacturing technology is an important issue for textile suppliers.
Environment sustainability is becoming the first consideration of consumers, and enterprises respond to this by introducing more sustainable products. COVID pandemic also accelerate this trend, and the present obligations of enterprises are maintaining the sustainable supply chain and input such concept as cyclic economy.
- (4) Competitive landscape for products
The Company is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of knitted staple fabrics, made with filament yarns, spun yarns, and elastic fibers. Spun yarns account for 50% of our materials. Garments are a necessity in life and there are thousands of fabrics combined with different yearns, dyed, and post-treatments with various techniques. Given the maturity of weaving and dyeing technology, it is increasingly difficult to systematically develop new fibers, techniques, specifications, or designs. What can be achieved now is to enhance and optimize existing processes and material applications and provide differentiated and high value-adding combination of new functions and products, to win orders from OEM clients and boost competitive edges. The Company and its subsidiaries continue to improve a variety of new fabrics. For example, we have developed DryNit® with a special weaving technique different from the traditional
57
approach of making cotton tapes. The new Spacer fabric is produced with innovative processes to address the problem of pilling and provide better feel and fluffiness. The new French ferry fabric is soft, light, and warm, environmental-friendly and no fiber shredding. In the meantime, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to improve manufacturing processes. We introduce high-tech equipment in energy efficiency and environmental protection such as low liquor ratios in dyeing, improvement in spray dyeing, adjustments to additives administering, adoption of new and environmentalfriendly materials, and waterless dyeing. It is hoped that the Company and its subsidiaries can offer products catering to market needs and responding to market changes.
We are proud of our supply chain management, as we are familiar with sourcing of raw materials and able to identify the most suitable and price competitive suppliers according to quality requirements from our customers. We have access to a large variety of knitted fabrics from a long list of suppliers, and all our contractors have passed the quality certifications from international OEMs. Our quality assurance personnel are well-versed in acceptance standards by ready-made garment customers and we are responsible for shipment scheduling and quality inspection before delivery. As our final products are used in ready-made garments for international sports and leisure brands (OEM brands), we sell to the ready-made garment suppliers of these brands. We either speak directly with OEM brands for specifications or recommend to them our new fabrics. Once the desired colors and styles are identified, OEM brands place order to their ready-made garment manufacturers. As consumers exercise more over the recent years, they demand sportswear that is fashionable and serving different purposes such as anti-bacteria, ultraviolet resistance, moisture absorption/wicking, heat generation, cooling, and waterproof. International sports brands set a high standard for fabrics quality and innovative functionality. Suppliers need to go through a robust process of qualification. It is not possible for new suppliers to become qualified suppliers in a short period of time.

- (3) Demand/supply and growth prospect
The term “athleisure” is coined by combining the words “athletics” and “leisure”. This initially refers to the phenomenon of women wearing yoga outfits in the gym. Men later followed suit. It eventually evolved into a style combining sports and fashion. Athleisure has since become a new casual style.
To the millennials, athleisure is a statement that clothes are more about functions. What they wear is an expression of style and attitude. As digital natives, they quickly understand and embrace new technologies and live on social media. Sports brands are marketed via social media and ecommerce platforms, with KOLs and celebrities showcasing trendy and fabulous looks. Athleisure quickly became an aspiration for consumers. People in their hectic life wish to spend more time exercising. Sports are playing an increasing role in the society. All countries around the world organize road running events, big or small, each year. Gyms and sports centers have been mushrooming in cities of both developed countries and developing economies. Sports have become a part of modern life.
According to statistics from Plunkett Research, the global athleisure market totaled US$1.5 trillion in 2016. Since 2005, the global market has been growing at a CAGR of 5.7% and may reach US$2 trillion in 2020 driven by the Tokyo Olympics. Statista forecasts the global sportswear market to reach US$180.6 billion in 2019 and US$219.8 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 4.01% over the five-year period.

(4) Competitive edge
-
A. Outstanding order-taking capability and production management
The Company and its subsidiaries have long-term suppliers in China, and we have people on the ground with these suppliers, to monitor quality and arrange shipments. We have the only sizable weaving and dyeing factory in Bavet, Cambodia. The main customers of the Company and its subsidiaries are ready-made garment manufacturers who supply to international sports and leisure brands (i.e. OEMs). We either approach these OEMs and produce samples according to their requirements or recommend to these OEMs our newly developed fabrics. Once the colors and designs are up to the requirements of OEMs, they place orders to their ready-made garment suppliers, and assign the Company and its subsidiaries as the fabric supplier. Then these ready-made garment manufacturers procure fabrics from the Company and its subsidiaries. There are a large variety of orders and a big volume of samples is required. Orders are frequent and lead times are short. In sum, the Company has extensive experience working for international sports and leisure brands. We also have own factories and long-term suppliers, so that we can adjust production and processing lines to meet with the quality and delivery requirement of international sports and leisure brands.
- B. Quality Management System and OEM Certifications
The spun knitted fabrics produced and marketed by the Company and its subsidiaries are under strict quality control. We have been approved by OEMs such as Adidas, Puma, Gap, and Li Ning to ship products by self-inspecting the colors, without any sign-up required from a third party. Our testing center has been certified as an independent supplier by Adidas, Puma, Gap, and Decathlon. In other words, the Company and its subsidiaries are authorized to issue fabric test reports, without certification from third parties. The Company and its subsidiaries have also passed the Quality Control approval from Adidas. All these certifications demonstrate the trust of OEM customers in our quality.
- C. Presence in Southeast Asia to stay close to downstream supply chain
The Company and its subsidiaries in 2011 established a vertical production line with weaving, dyeing, and finishing capability in Bavet, Cambodia. Bavet is
62
approximately 160 kilometers from the capital Phnom Penh of Cambodia (about three hours by car), and about 80 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam (about two hours by car). Both Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh are hubs for readymade garment manufacturers. Our outputs in Bavet can ship to the ready-made garments in Cambodia and Vietnam. As international OEMs are instructing their local suppliers to purchase locally (“local to local”), our production lines have become the only fabric supplier in Cambodian for many international OEMs. There are many hurdles for other fabric and dye manufacturers to overcome to set up facilities in Cambodia in the immediate future. The economic and political environment in Cambodia is not fully developed, and the infrastructure is also inadequate. For example, manufacturers need to source water and energy and comply with the environmental protection requirements. Up to date, there is no other competitor with facilities in Cambodia comparable to those owned by the Company and its subsidiaries. In sum, TST Group is an indispensable partner for international brands in the foreseeable able future.
-
(5) Positive/negative factors for business prospects and responding measures
-
A. Positive factors
- (A) Demand stable and growing
The products from the Company and its subsidiaries are used in the ready-made garments of international sports and leisure brands. As the sportswear market continues to boom and the sports and outdoor leisure activities remain vibrant around the world, there will always be a slew of new designs that combines fashion and function. This means fabric and ready-made garment producers will continue to grow at a steady pace.
- (B) Global famous brands as key customers
The Company and its subsidiaries have successfully won business from international brands by offering a diversity of quality products. In fact, we have attracted many supplier awards from these customers because of the speed of product launches and capability to develop products according to requirements. Among the awards the Company and its subsidiaries have received are Adidas’s Global Fabric Supplier Award “Golden Shoes”; Championship for Adidas’s Global Textile Supplier Review; PUMA’s Best R&D for Fabric Supplier; PUMA’s Best Global Supplier Award and Li Ning’s Best R&D Award. International brands such as Adidas, PUMA, Decathlon, Li Ning, and GAP are among the clients of the Company and its subsidiaries.
- (C) High thresholds for certifications
The Company and its subsidiaries have been working with international sports and leisure brands for many years. As a qualified supplier, we have obtained the authorization to self-inspect colors of products, without the need to go through validation from external organizations. Our quality test center has also been certified by the third parties recognized by OEM customers, and the results from our test center are deemed to be equivalent to the validation from third parties. In sum, the Company and its subsidiaries have gained significant trust from sports and leisure brands and we are a regular recipient of supplier awards from these brands. As it is difficult for competitors to achieve our quality standards, our orders are ensured in the foreseeable future.
-
B. Negative factors
-
(A) Profitability under the influence of raw material prices
63
The raw materials of spun knitted fabrics are cotton yarns and chemical fiber yarns. Going forward, the price volatility of cotton and crude oil may push up raw materials prices. Whilst it is possible to transfer costs to OEM customers via negotiations and boost profits for the time being, any dramatic increase of international cotton and oil prices will eventually erode our profitability if costs cannot be completely absorbed by OEM customers.
Responding measures
The Company and its subsidiaries keep a close eye on the change of the raw materials market. We maintain good relations with raw materials suppliers and we diversity the sourcing of raw materials by procuring from multiple suppliers. That said, the long development cycles for sports brands mean relatively adequate time to respond to fluctuations of raw materials prices. When proposing new fabrics to OEM customers for the new season, the Company and its subsidiaries may adjust the manufacturing process and technology to reduce costs. We can also raise unit prices in line with the market to enhance profitability in a timely manner.
- (B) The trade war between China and the U.S.
The Company and its subsidiaries ship the fabrics produced in China to the ready-made garment manufacturers in Vietnam and Cambodia. This is because our facilities in Cambodia are not able to meet with all the demand yet. Since the trade war between China and the U.S. in 2018, the U.S. government has been levying extra tariffs on the products from China and textile is among the sanctioned list. However, there are no punitive duties on the products exported to the U.S. from countries other than China but with raw materials manufactured in China. The Company’s products exported from China in 2019 and 2020 during accounted for 35.69% and 32.11% of total revenues, respectively. These products were primarily shipped to Southeast Asia and South Asia. A small portion was sold to other countries in Asia, and there was no direct sale to the U.S. The distribution of ready-made garments from factories is up to the decision from OEM customers. The only significant impact was increased demand for local suppliers as international OEMs stepped up their procurement in Cambodia and Vietnam.
Responding measures
The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the development, design, manufacturing, and distribution of cotton blend knitted fabrics used in athleisure fashion. We sell our fabrics to ready-made garment factories. The U.S. government assesses the tariffs on ready-made garments based on where the ready-made garments are produced. The fabrics produced and sold by the Company and its subsidiaries are intermediary materials and not directly exported to the U.S. Therefore, the influence of the trade war between China and the U.S. is limited. However, as the trade negotiation continues, uncertainties abound. To ensure operational stability, the Company established a factory in Vietnam in 2020. This caters to the local sourcing requirements by brand owner customers, diversifies the production risks in a certain region and mitigates macroeconomic risks of a single country.
- (C) Limited operational scale, with many manufacturing processes outsourced
The Company did not have its own production lines in the early days due to limited scale. We started as a trading business of textiles. We developed products but outsourced the manufacturing to external parties. The Company
64
gradually established its own capacity in dyeing and finishing. As of 2020, the percentages of own production and outsourced production are half to half.
Responding measures
The Company has been enjoying stabilization in profitability and growth in scale over recent years. In 2011, we built out own weaving, dyeing, and finishing facilities in Cambodia. Looking forward, we plan to expand manufacturing capacities and operational scale, or invest in ready-made garment manufacturing to become fully integrated and hence boost competitiveness. Meanwhile, as the Company is limited by the capacities and deliveries of our contracted manufacturers, we conduct daily quality inspections on these manufacturers and add to our list of contractors, to mitigate the quality and delivery risks of outsourcing.
(D) EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA)
Vietnam and the European Union in Hanoi on June 30, 2019 drafted the EUVietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA). Both agreements are to be reviewed by the European Parliament and the parliaments of its member states. The EVFTA would take effect at the end of 2019 the earliest; whilst it would be at least two years away for the review of the EVIPA to be completed. According to the EVFTA, Vietnam and the 28 economies in the European Union will gradually dismantle tariff barriers. As soon as the agreement comes into force, benefits, the European Union (EU) will immediately eliminate 85.6% import duties on certain products from Vietnam, and this covers 70.3% of Vietnam’s exports to the EU. To reciprocate, Vietnam will immediately scrap 48.5% duties on some imports from Europe, and this covers 64.5% of Europe’s exports to Vietnam. Both parties will gradually phase out 99% of customs tariffs within ten years. As Vietnam is keen to become an important economic partner to the EU and integrate into the international economy and cooperation, the signing of the EVFTA is a milestone to its economy and corporate structure. It is beneficial to Vietnam’s exports of textile products to the EU.
Responding measures
The production facilities owned by the Company and its subsidiaries are in China and Cambodia, and thus cannot access the preferential treatments under the EVFTA framework. TST Group decided at the end of 2020 to establish a weaving and dying factory in Vietnam to integrate the supply chain resources in weaving, dyeing, and finishing in Vietnam. It is expected that textile exports from Vietnam will continue to grow, once the EVFTA is implemented. This should boost the demand for fabrics used in ready-made garments and benefit the group.
(E) Stringent environmental standards
In response to rising concerns over the environment, all governments around the world (including China and Cambodia) and international organizations have been increasing the threshold for the statutory requirements in environmental protection. To keep up with this trend and comply with relevant laws and regulations, it is necessary to continue investing in the purchase of anti-pollution equipment and the training of personnel. The effective strategy to reduce environmental pollutions should focus on the control of pollution sources, so that employees can work in a safe environment.
65
Our subsidiary in Cambodia is engaged in weaving, dyeing, and finishing and thus wastewater and other emissions are inevitable. The subsidiary has its own wastewater treatment facilities and has acquired four permits, pollution discharges, wastewater emission, waste gases from boilers, and sludge emissions. The Ministry of Environment in Cambodia samples wastewater for testing each year. Whilst our Cambodian subsidiary treats wastewater according to legal requirements, there are occasions of breaching the threshold due to equipment failure and production facilities issues, or value deviations caused by different inspection methods. However, we make immediate amends as soon as any problem has been identified.
Responding measures
The Company procures and renews pollution control equipment, advocates waste reductions and develops new manufacturing processes to comply with environmental regulations. We assign personnel to patrol the pollution control equipment onsite each day and there are units responsible for the operation and maintenance of the equipment. The wastes are processed off-plant by the companies recognized by the Ministry of Environment. The Company and its subsidiaries keep informed of relevant environmental laws and regulations. Whilst we seek to enhance our competitiveness, we also strive to mitigate our environmental impact in raw materials and products. We hope to produce with accuracy and timeliness and establish all-rounded competitiveness by manufacturing products in compliance with environmental regulations and catering to customers’ requirements so that we can achieve sustainable developments.
- (F) Concentration of OEM customers
Our end customers are global sports brands. As we sell a great variety of products to one customer in large quantities, we do not see much difference between high seasons and low seasons. This customer has been expanding its global market shares over recent years. As a result, our revenues from this OEM customer have been growing in value and percentage.
Responding measures
The Company is actively expanding clientele, and we have achieved results after years of efforts in communicating with customers and attracting new orders. Going forward, we will continue to deepen relations with existing customers, develop new products and new customers to boost revenues and mitigate the risks associated with a single customer.

IV. Information of expenditures for environmental protection
- According to relevant laws and regulations, the procedures of applications for the permits regarding deployment of pollution control facilities, pollution emissions, or payments for pollution control fees or establishment of dedicated personnel in environmental protection are described below:
Our subsidiary in Cambodia, Top Sports Textile Ltd. (TSP), has its own wastewater treatment facilities, and has acquired four permits: pollution discharges, wastewater emission, waste gases from boilers, and sludge emissions. The Ministry of Environment, Cambodia, visits TSP once or twice per annum to sample wastewater for testing. The Cambodian government sets two standards for wastewater emissions: (1) Standard Ⅱ COD <100 for discharge to regular waters; (2) Standard I COD <50 for discharge to protected waters (vs. the standard COD 140 in Taiwan and COD 80 in China). TSP continues to enhance its wastewater treatment facilities. The current capacity is 7,000 cubic meters per day and operating at the standards for discharge to regular waters. Meanwhile, we also introduce sludge drying equipment to reduce the water contents (thus weight and capacity) of sludge.
The environmental regulations in Cambodia do not specify that there should be factory personnel dedicated to environmental protection. However, TSP has established a taskforce focusing on pollution prevention and controlling all the pollution sources onsite. They also serve as the contact window with environment service providers and oversee matters in relation to wastes processing.

| Please provide the reasons for the change in financial rations during the most recent two years. (Not mandatory if the change is within 20%) (1) Higher interest coverage ratio: primarily due sufficient fund resulting in a decrease in bank borrowings and hence a decrease in interest (2) Lower accounts receivables turnover rate and higher average days of accounts receivable: primarily due extension of receivables by parts of customers who were impacted by pandemic. (3) Lower inventory turnover rate and higher average days of sales: primarily due to supplemental raw materials inventory in response to the operational requirements. (4) Lower accounts payable turnover rate: due to extension of payment days as obtained better payment terms from suppliers (5) Lower return on equity and higher net gains ratio: primarily due to increase in own capacity of the Company, decrease in unit cost and increase in profitability. (6) Lower cash reinvestment ratio: primarily due to payment of cash dividends and expenditure for investment in the establishment of a factoryin Vietnam. |

| Major changes: |
| 1. As impacted by COVID pandemic in 2020, the decrease in operating revenues was caused by sudden |
| freezing of orders from brand customers. However, the increase in the own capacity of the Company |
| in this year contributes to the control on wastes, increase in utilization rate, decrease in amortization of |
| fixed costs, resulting in decrease in unit costs, and slight increase profitability. |
| 2. Decrease in nonoperating expenditures: primarily because of sufficient operating funds of the |
| Company resulting in decrease in bank borrowings and decrease in interest expenditure by $18,607 |
| thousand, and because of the use of partial funds as time deposits, resulting in increase in interest |
| income by $7,356 thousand; the government grants increased by $6,258 thousand, the gain/loss of |
| foreign exchange turned from gain to loss, primarily due to payment of NTD cash dividends. Because |
| NTD was strong and the functional currency of the Company was USD, therefore a loss on exchange |
| was recorded. In summarizing the above factors of change, the nonoperating expenditure for this year |
| decreased. |

IV. Impact of major capital expenditures on financials during the most recent year
At the end of 2020, the company decided to go to Vietnam to build an integrated weaving and dyeing factory. It is estimated that it will cost about US$35,000, which is expected to be supported by the group’s own funds, bank loans or other methods. This plan is expected to increase the Group's annual production capacity by approximately 21.6 million pounds after the release of production capacity in 2023, which can effectively alleviate the current situation of nearly full capacity of its own production capacity. In sum, the expansion will not only boost the Company’s topline and bottom line, it will also provide flexibility in operations.

VI. Risk Assessments
-
(I) During the most recent year and as of the print date of this annual report, the impact of interest rates, exchange rates and inflation on the Company’s profitability and the proposed responding measures:
-
Influence of interest rate changes on the Company’s profitability and the proposed responding measures
The Company and its subsidiaries recognize interest incomes from demand deposits with banks and interest expenses due to borrowing from financial institutions to fund working capital. The Company and its subsidiaries reported interest expenses of NT$20,483 thousand and NT$1,876 thousand (or 0.28% and 0.03% of sales), respectively, in 2019 and 2020. This suggests limited influence of interest rate changes on the Company’s operations. As the Company and its subsidiaries continue to expand scale and boost profitability, the increasing internal funds will gradually reduce our reliance on bank loans.
Responding measures:
If interest rates fluctuate dramatically and the Company still needs to borrow, we will consider fund raising from the capital market. The Company will also select either fixed or floating rates, depending on the trend of interest rates, to mitigate the risks of interest rates volatility. We maintain good relations with banks to access favorable borrowing rates. The Company and its subsidiaries will also strictly control and manage our currency exposures, to respond to exchange rate fluctuations.
- Influence of exchange rate changes on the Company’s profitability and the proposed responding measures
The Company and its subsidiaries book revenues mainly in USD and some in CNY. We pay for our procurements primarily in CNY. In sum, our functional currencies for daily operations are USD and CNY. We seek to reduce currency exposure and exchange rate risks via natural hedging and when appropriate forward contracts. Below is the exchange gains recognized by the Company and its subsidiaries during the most recent years.
| Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars | Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars | Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 2020 |
||
| Exchangegains 16,804 (12,870) |
||
| As apercentage of sales(%) | 0.23% | 0.24% |
The amount and magnitude of the currency exposure by the Company and its subsidiaries are due to a high percentage of sales in USD and a portion of payments are in CNY. In sum, the Company’s currency gains/losses is highly related to the exchange rates of USD and CNY.
In 2019, we booked an exchange gain of NT$16,804 thousand due to the weakening of CNY in the doldrum of the trade war between China and the U.S. Exchange loss of NT$12,870 thousand in 2020 was incurred primarily due to payment of NTD cash dividends. NTD was strong in recent period, but the functional currency of the Company is USD, therefore the exchange loss was recorded. For the export from production in China, we receive payment in USD and pay for purchases in RMB. The depreciation of RMB vs. USD starting from the middle of 2020 also caused affection. Responding measures:
To mitigate the risks to profitability due to currency rate fluctuations, the Company
81
collects market information to interpret the trends and assess the risks. We also maintain close conversations with banks to stay on top of exchange rate movements, to make timely adjustments if necessary. We also adopt the following measures to reduce the impact of currency fluctuations on our topline and bottom line:
-
A. The financial department of the Company and its subsidiaries keep a good relationship with financial institutions to access their insight to exchange rate movements. We also stay on top of the international currency market and financial updates. We manage and adjust, when appropriate, our foreign currency positions, to mitigate the adverse impact of currency fluctuations on our profitability.
-
B. Depending on our forecast of the currency movement, the Company and its subsidiaries enter into forward contracts, when appropriate, to hedge the currency risks.
-
C. When providing quotes to customers, the sales department should take into consideration the currency fluctuations to mitigate currency risks.
-
D. Depending on the assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company seeks to maintain a certain level of positions as a buffer against the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.
-
Influence of inflation on the Company’s profitability and the proposed responding measures
As of the print date of this annual report, the Company has not experienced any major impact of inflation or deflation despite rapid changes in the global economy.
Responding measures
Going forward, the Company plans to maintain good interactions with suppliers and keep abreast of market price movements. We adjust procurement strategies and cost structures in a timely manner, to mitigate the impact of inflation on our profitability.
-
(II) During the most recent year and as of the print date of this annual report, the policy regarding highly risky and highly leveraged investments, lending to others, endorsements/guarantees, and derivative instruments, main reasons for gains/losses and proposed responding measures:
-

- Reasons for gains/profits from derivatives transactions and proposed responding
82
measures
The Company has not engaged in derivatives transactions during most recent years and as of the print date of this annual report. Going forward, we will primarily be engaged in USD/CNY forward contracts for hedging purposes, to mitigate the exchange rate risks associated with our assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. This will be processed according to the Procedures for Asset Acquisitions/Disposals and the Guideline for Lifecycle of Investments – Control Operations for Derivatives Transactions.
(III) R&D plans and budgets:

A shareholder who exercises the voting power in writing or by way of electronic transmission is deemed to participate in the shareholders’ meeting in person but is deemed as in abstention in case of extemporaneous (unscheduled) motion or an amendment to an original motion. 4. A shareholder who exercises the voting power in writing or by way of electronic transmission shall have his or her expression of intent served to the Company two days prior to the date scheduled for the meeting. In the event that two or more declarations of intention on the same matter are served to the Company, the declaration of intention first served shall prevail, unless an explicit statement to revoke the previous declaration is made in the subsequent declaration. 5. In the event that a shareholder who has exercised his/her/its voting rights in writing or by means of electronic transmission intends to attend the shareholders' meeting in person, he/she/it shall, 2 days prior to the scheduled meeting |

Where these methods of exercising voting power are to be available at a general meeting, they shall be described in the general meeting notice given to the Members in respect of the relevant general meeting, and the Member voting by written ballot or electronic transmission shall submit such vote to the Company two days prior to the date of the relevant general meeting. In case that there are duplicate submissions, the first received by the Company shall prevail. A Member exercising voting power by way of a written ballot or by way of an electronic transmission shall be deemed to have appointed the chairman of the general meeting as his proxy to exercise his or her voting right at such general meeting in accordance with the instructions stipulated in the written or electronic document; provided, however, that such appointment shall be deemed not to constitute the appointment of a proxy for the purposes of the Applicable Public Company Rules. The chairman, acting as agent of a Member, shall not exercise the voting right of such Member in any way not stipulated in the written or electronic document, nor exercise any voting right in respect of any resolution revised at the meeting or any impromptu proposal at the meeting. A Member voting in such manner shall be deemed to have waived notice of, and the right to vote in regard to, any ad hoc resolution or amendment to the original agenda items to be resolved at the said general meeting. Should the chairman not observe the instructions of a Member in exercising such Member's voting right in respect of any resolution, the Shares held by such Member shall not be included in the |

In accordance with the principle of case law, nevertheless, disregarding the provision on the contrary in the Articles of Incorporation, a shareholder who participates in a shareholders’ meeting and votes in person shall be in the preferential validity. The Company is, nevertheless, still entitled to provide provision to annul the authorized proxy where a shareholder does not participate in a shareholders’ meeting in person. 5. In descriptions same as 1 above.

(The aft part is omitted)”. Under the laws prevalent in the British Cayman Islands, a shareholder who exercises voting power in such means is not deemed to have participated in the shareholders’ meeting in person. That shareholder, nevertheless, is substantially entitled to the powers bestowed under the laws prevalent in the Republic of China to exercise voting power in writing or by way of electronic transmission.

If a Member who has submitted a written ballot or electronic transmission pursuant to Article 19.6 does not submit such a revocation before the prescribed time, the proxy deemed to be given to the chairman of the general meeting pursuant to Article 19.6 shall not be revoked and the chairman of the general meeting shall exercise the voting right of such Member in accordance with that proxy. 19.8 If, subsequent to submitting a written ballot or electronic transmission pursuant to Article 19.6, a Member submits a proxy appointing a person of the general meeting as his proxy to attend the relevant general meeting on his behalf, then the subsequent appointment of that person as his proxy shall be deemed to be a revocation of such Member’s deemed appointment of the chairman of the general meeting as his proxy pursuant to Article 19.6. 20.7 In the event that a Member exercises his/her/its voting power by means of a written ballot or by means of electronic transmission and has also authorized a proxy to attend a general meeting, then the voting power exercised by the proxy at the general meeting shall prevail.

18.7 Nothing in the Articles shall prevent any Member from issuing proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction for an appropriate remedy in connection with the improper convening of any general meeting or the improper passage of any resolution.

Such provisions set forth under the Articles of Incorporation might become unenforceable under the laws prevalent in the British Cayman Islands because a court on the British Cayman Islands could not possibly acknowledge and enforce a non-pecuniary judgment rendered in a foreign country before it could look into the subject dispute anew. The provisions set forth under Article 18.7 of the Articles of Incorporation differ from key issues of protection over shareholders’ equity. The key issues of protection over shareholders’ equity enumerated on the left-hand side are in fact the provisions of statutory power bestowed upon shareholders to annul litigation the statutory effect of which could not be accomplished through the Articles of Incorporation and, instead, calls for the power to be bestowed upon the shareholders for annulment. The provisions set forth under Article 18.7 of the Articles of Incorporation slightly differ from key issues of protection over shareholders’ equity. Nevertheless, where the procedures to convene a shareholders’ meeting or the methods to resolve a decision prove in contravention of laws or Articles of Incorporation, the Articles of Incorporation do not restrict shareholders from lodging litigation with the court for a remedy. As to whether the court would accept the litigation or whether the court accepting the litigation would annul that procedure to convene the meeting or annul a decision resolved in the shareholders’ meeting in contravention of laws or Articles of Incorporation, that court (disregarding a court in the Republic of China or on the British |

In the event of a Short-form Merger, a Short- form Spin-off or a Short-form Share Exchange where at least 90% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company are held by the other company participating in such Merger, Spin-off or Share Exchange, the Company shall deliver a notice to each Member immediately after the resolution of board of directors approving such Short-form Merger, Short- form Spin-off or Short-form Share Exchange and such notice shall state that any Member who expressed his/her/its objection against the Short-form Merger, Short-form Spin-off or Short- form Share Exchange within the specified period pursuant to the Applicable Public Company Rules may submit a written objection requesting the Company to repurchase all of his/her/its Shares at the then prevailing fair value of such Shares. 22.3 The request prescribed in the preceding two Articles shall be delivered to the Company in writing, stating therein the types and numbers of Shares requested to be repurchased, within the specified period pursuant to the Applicable Public Company Rules after the date of the relevant resolution.

1. As expressly provided for in Article 60 of Companies Law of the British Cayman Islands, a special decision refers to an event where a decision in a shareholders’ meeting is resolved by balloting, a decision duly resolved with consent not below two-thirds of the total voting powers (or a higher ratio so provided under the Articles of Incorporation, if any, which shall prevail) cast by shareholders entitled to the voting power either in person or through a proxy agent (if the shareholders’ meeting permit a proxy agent). In general Articles of Incorporation prevalent in a company on the British Cayman Islands, it would normally require that the notice of the shareholders’ meeting shall expressly provide the terms for special resolution. Where the powers are duly authorized under the Articles of Incorporation, the decision resolved by shareholders in full in writing may be deemed as a special decision. Where a decision is resolved by means of ballot tallying to count whether a special decision is resolved by a majority, the Company may specify under its Articles of Incorporation the number of voting power each and |

In accordance with Companies Law of the British Cayman Islands, the issues subject to special resolution are including but not limited to: (i) Amendment or addition to Articles of Incorporation (Article 24); (ii) Amendment or addition to outlines of the Articles of Incorporation involving objectives, powers or other key issues to be specifically specified (Article 10); (iii) Dissolution at own discretion in a reason other than insolvency when the liabilities become due (Articles 90 and 116). (iv) An issue of merger or consolidation with another company (Article 233). In accordance with Companies Law of the British Cayman Islands, an issue subject to special resolution shall not be resolved through a lower majority. 3. On issues beyond the aforementioned ones, the Companies Law of the British Cayman Islands does not request the reach of certain majority. Such issues may be, nevertheless, provided through the Company's Articles of Incorporation. The Company's Articles of Incorporation slightly differ from the key issues of protection over shareholders’ equity on the left-hand side, as enumerated below: 1. Article 1.1 of Articles of Incorporation. (1) Articles of Incorporation provide: As expressly provided for in Article 1,1 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the term “special resolution” refers to: “A decision resolved by two-thirds majority of shareholders in the shareholders’ meeting entitled to voting powers. Such shareholders may exercise the voting powers in |

The issues subject to special resolutions are including but not limited to: (i) Amendment or addition to Articles of Incorporation (Article 24); (ii) Amendment or addition to outlines of the Articles of Incorporation involving objectives, powers or other key issues to be specifically specified (Article 10); (iii) Dissolution at own discretion in a reason other than insolvency when the liabilities become due (Articles 90 and 116); (iv) An issue of merger or consolidation with another company (Article 233). Furthermore, as expressly provided for in Article 18.1 of the Articles of Incorporation: “No decision shall be resolved in a shareholders’ meeting unless that shareholders’ meeting is attended by shareholders with the represented shares up to the specified quorum. Unless otherwise specified in laws, Articles of Incorporation or rules & regulations of the public company, shareholders participating in the meeting in person or through a proxy agent represent one half majority of the total outstanding issued shares shall constitute the quorum of participation in that shareholders’ meeting”. To put it in more understandable terms, a special resolution shall be adopted in the meeting which is attended by participating shareholders either in person or through proxy agents who make up one half majority of the total outstanding issued shares and

a common resolution.
Accordingly, such
differential gap just results
from the laws prevalent in
the British Cayman Islands.
Under the Company's
Articles of Incorporation,
where the Company resolves
a decision at its discretion for
dissolution due to a reason of
insolvency when liabilities
become due, it calls for a
“supermajority resolution”.
On issues beyond Article
14.3 (a), it still reserves for
“special resolution” in
accordance with the
Companies Law of the
British Cayman Islands.
In coordination with amendment toward
the key issues of protection over
shareholders’ equity on the left-hand
side, the Company is scheduled to
amend Article 14.2 of its Articles of
Incorporation in the shareholders’
meeting 2020 into “Unless otherwise
specified under Article 14.6, where not
in contravention of laws, laws of public
companies and the Articles of
Incorporation, the Company shall
resolute through supermajority vote for
following issues: (j) “stock swap”.
The Company has added “conversion of
shares” into the issues subject to
“supermajority resolutions” and has
defined “supermajority resolution”
under Article 1 of Articles of
Incorporation as referring to “(i) A
decision duly resolved by one half
majority vote in the shareholders’
meeting attended by shareholders who
represent two-thirds majority of the
total outstanding issued shares
(including proxy agents authorized by
shareholders), or (ii) Where the
participating shareholders do not
account for two-thirds of the total
outstanding issued shares but account
for one half majority of total
outstanding issued shares, a decision
duly resolved by two-thirds majority of
the participating shareholders” so as to
satisfy the amendment to the contents
of the key issues of protection over
shareholders’ equity on the left-hand
side.

shareholders’ meeting. 3. Pursuant to provisions set forth under the Case Law regarding remedies toward shareholders, in a case of accusation of a director with impairment to the Company, the very eligible Plaintiff should be the Company itself instead of shareholder(s) individually or a minority of shareholders except an exception in very rare minority. For instance, where the act taken by a director represents fraud against minority of shares and such fraudulent people become the very controller to the Company, the shareholders in minority as the victim of the fraud would be entitled to lodge litigation with a court. 4. Such provisions set forth under the Articles of Incorporation are unenforceable under the laws prevalent in the British Cayman Islands because a court on the British Cayman Islands could not possibly acknowledge a judgment rendered in a foreign country on a non-pecuniary case until look into the legal authority on the dispute in contention. That director may be discharged through the procedures set forth under the Articles of Incorporation. Provisions set forth under 28.2(m) of the Articles of Incorporation slightly differ from the provisions below: (1) Provisions set forth under the Articles of Incorporation: The Articles of Incorporation read in Article 28.2(m): “Unless otherwise specified in laws, Articles of Incorporation or Company Act for Public Companies, where a director leads to a significant impairment to the Company or significantly in contravention of relevant and applicable laws/ordinances concerned and/or rules or Articles of Incorporation during the period of his or her performance of duty but is not discharged under a special resolution (supermajority resolution), the shareholders holding more than 3% of the total outstandingissued shares are |

of the director in contention within
thirty days from the date when the

irrevocable court judgment is
rendered by the jurisdictional court
for discharge of the director in

is entitled to render a judgment
toward the aforementioned issue in
a single case or a series, for the
purpose, the term “final and
binding court verdict” as set forth
herein denotes the final and
irrevocable court judgment
rendered by that jurisdictional
court”, Such contents slight differ
from the key points on the left-hand
side.
(2) Causes leading to the difference:
Where a court on the British
Cayman Islands could not possibly
launch substantial trial on a
judgment rendered in a foreign
country on a case beyond monetary
judgment, the Company's has
provided the key points to protect
shareholders’ equity on the left-
hand side into the Articles of
Incorporation. The ruling rendered
by Taiwan Taipei District Court to
discharge the director might be
unable to be acknowledged and
might be unenforceable in a court
on the British Cayman Islands.
Accordingly, in the Articles of
Incorporation, the Company has
provided that shareholders should
lodge litigation with a jurisdictional
court. Such a differential gap
results from the provisions of laws
prevalent on the British Cayman
Islands in acknowledgement and
execution of a judgment rendered
in a foreign country. Still, the
shareholders are still entitled to
discharge a director in accordance
with Articles of Incorporation.

However, supervisors are entitled to reelection. 3. Where supervisors are discharged in full, the board of directors shall convene a shareholders’ meeting for election within sixty days. 4. The supervisors shall oversee the Company in execution of business operation and investigate into the Company's business and financial status from time to time, to audit, copy and duplicate books and documents and may request the board of directors and managers to offer reports. 5. The supervisors shall audit a variety of books worked out by the board of directors and submitted to the shareholders’ meeting and shall report opinions to the shareholders’ meeting. 6. For auditing need, supervisors may retain certified public accountants, lawyers for verification on behalf of the Company. 7. The supervisors are entitled to sit in on a board of directors meeting to speak up opinion.

1. The Companies Law of the British Cayman Islands does not provide obligations for a director. Pursuant to the applicable case law, a director is supposed to assume the (1) fiduciary duties and (2) obligations as a bona fide administrator (duty of care).

The Directors and the Company shall jointly and severally indemnify the third party for any losses or damages incurred by such third party if such loss or damage is incurred as a result of a Director’s breach of laws or regulations in the course of performing his duties. The aforementioned duties of the Directors shall also apply to the managers of the Company. |
2. Pursuant to the principle of case law, amidst the process of business management, an act taken by a director is deemed as the act taken by the Company itself. Where such an act leads to an impairment to a third party, it is the Company, instead of that acting director, which should assume the responsibility toward such third party. That claiming third party is not entitled to claim in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation to impose the obligations onto shareholders. A non-shareholder third party is not entitled to execute the claim in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation. Where a director impairs a third party and becomes subject to damage indemnity, the Company is entitled to claim on such director for damage indemnity for the impairment so incurred. 3. Normally toward the Company, a manager is not obliged as a mandatory. A manager is not a party under the Articles of Incorporation. Even the Articles of Incorporation provide such terms, the manager is not entitled to the power of enforcement. The aforementioned obligations should be regulated with a manager by means of a contract. 4. Pursuant to Article 26.5 of the Articles of Incorporation, amidst implementation of business operation to the Company, where a director violates the faithful obligations, another is not necessarily entitled to claim that director under the Companies Law of the British Cayman Islands into indemnity. Even if the Articles of Incorporation provide that such director should team up with the Company for the responsibility for indemnity, that would not constitute the very grounds to claim. 5. Besides, though Articles of Incorporation provide under Article 26.5 that terms on the obligations are equally applicable to managers, as far as the laws prevalent on the British Cayman Islands are concerned. Accordingly,in an |

If such Member has more than one authorised representative, each of the authorised representatives of such Member may be elected as Directors respectively. 1. Companies Law of the British Cayman Islands does not regulate a juristic person shareholder to have its representative elected into a director. This, nevertheless, could be regulated through the Articles of Incorporation. 2. The Companies Law of the British Cayman Islands does not contain a concept of a “supervisor” whereunder, the validity of a supervisor set forth under the Articles of Incorporation is ambiguous. 3.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of TST Group Holding Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TST Group Holding Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants”, and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS); and in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants”, “Financial Supervisory Commission Order No. Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing-1090360805 of February 25, 2020” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS) for our audits of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the 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 for 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 of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Timing of revenue recognition
Description
Refer to Note 4(25) for a description of accounting policy on revenue recognition and Note 6(17) for details of revenue. The Group’s major products are raw materials such as greige and coloured fabrics for the midstream and upstream of textile industry. The Group recognises revenue when the control of promised goods is transferred to the buyers. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the goods in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. As the timing of revenue recognition involves management’s judgement and the transaction amounts before and after the balance sheet date are significant to the financial statements, the timing of sales revenue recognition was identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following procedures in relation to the above key audit matter:
-
Obtained an understanding and evaluated the operating procedures and internal controls over sales revenue, and tested those controls.
-
Performed confirmation of accounts receivable and sales revenve in order to confirm that the amounts from counterparties are consistent with the records. If there are differences, tested the reconciling items made by the Company in order to confirm whether the significant differences have been adjusted.
~5~
-
Inspected sales revenue and verified supporting documents to ensure the timing of sales revenue recognition is appropriate.
-
Performed cut-off test of sales transactions around the fiscal year-end date and verified corroboration of sales revenue recognition to confirm whether revenue is recognised in the proper period.
Allowance for inventory valuation losses
Description
Refer to Note 4(11) for a description of the accounting policy on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation, and Note 6(5) for information on the allowance for inventory valuation losses. As of December 31, 2020, the balances of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses were NT$ 822,921 thousand and NT$ 35,289 thousand, respectively.
The Group is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of cotton in the textile industry. As the raw material prices of textile products fluctuate continuously and the market is highly competitive, there is a higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or having obsolete inventory. The Group’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. For inventory that is over a certain age, the loss is recognised based on the realisable value.
The industry’s raw material prices fluctuate continuously, and the net realisable value involves subjective judgement which results in a high degree of uncertainty when assessing obsolete or slow-moving inventories. As the inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses are material to the financial statements, the assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses was identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following procedures in relation to the above key audit matters:
- Assessed whether the policies on allowance for inventory valuation losses were consistently applied in all the periods and met the applicable accounting principles based on our understanding of the Group’s operations and the characteristics of its industry.
~6~
-
Reviewed the details of the individually obsolete inventories and verified the related supporting documents.
-
Tested the basis of market value used in calculating the net realisable value of respective inventories and validated the accuracy of net realisable calculation of selected samples.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the 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 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 ROC GAAS 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.
~7~
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, 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.
-
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 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.
~8~
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.
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.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements
are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International
~16~
Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or
~17~
liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is United States dollars; however, the consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars under the regulations of the regulatory
~18~
authorities.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
-
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
-
(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
-
(c) The Group’s financial statements were translated into New Taiwan dollars based on t he average exchange rates of USD1=NTD29.5491 and USD1=NTD30.9117 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The closing exchange rates as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were USD1=NTD28.480 and USD1=NTD29.980, respectively.
~19~
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to
be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(8) Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
~20~
(9) Impairment of financial assets
For accounts receivable that has a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(10) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
-
(11) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads. It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(12) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates
-
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
-
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
C. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises change in ownership interests in the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
-
D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent
~21~
of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
E. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
-
(13) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
C. Property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
-
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Buildings and structures 5 ~ 50 years Machinery and equipment 5 ~ 10 years Office equipment 2 ~ 5 years Transportation equipment 4 ~ 5 years Other equipment 5 years
~22~
(14) Leasing arrangements (lessee) - right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
-
A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of lowvalue assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable. The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
-
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability. The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
-
D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognise the difference between remeasured lease liability in profit or loss.
-
(15) Intangible assets
-
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10 years.
-
(16) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
(17) Borrowings
Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
~23~
(18) Notes and accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(19) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
(20) Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.
- B. Pensions
For defined contribution plan, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
- C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
-
(21) Employee share based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and nonvesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(22) Income tax
- A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
~24~
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Different tax regulations are applicable to the Group depending on the countries where the companies are registered:
-
(a) Companies that are registered in the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands are exempted from income tax in accordance with local regulations.
-
(b) Income taxes of companies that are registered in Mainland China are calculated in accordance with the “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax” and its implementation and related notification letters.
-
(c) For companies that are registered in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, only income sourced in Hong Kong is taxable under the rules of Hong Kong’s Inland Revenue Ordinance.
-
(d) Income taxes of companies that are registered in the Kingdom of Cambodia are calculated in accordance with the “Law on Taxation” and its implementation and related notification letters.
-
(e) Income taxes of companies that are registered in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam are calculated in accordance with the “Corporate Income Tax” (CIT) and its implementation and related notification letters.
-
C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
~25~
(23) Share capital
-
A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
-
B. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
(24) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s stockholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(25) Revenue recognition
-
A. Sales of goods
-
(a) The Group manufactures and sells textile products. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the wholesaler, the wholesaler has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
-
(b) A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
-
B. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
Given that the contractual period lasts less than one year, the Group recognises the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred although the Group expects to recover those costs.
(26) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
(27) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
~26~
chief operating decision maker. The Group’s chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
5. Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
None.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
- Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. As textile products are influenced by the fluctuations in raw material prices and the market is competitive, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation. Details of the carrying amount of inventories as of December 31, 2020 are provided in Note 6(5).

Price risk
The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
-
i. The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from bank borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.
-
ii. The Group’s borrowings are measured at amortised cost. The borrowings are periodically contractually repriced and to that extent are also exposed to the risk of future changes in market interest rates.
-
iii.If the borrowing interest rate had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $522 and $1,761, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result in floating rate borrowings.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms.
-
ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
~48~
-
iii.The Group adopts credit risk management procedure to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:
-
If the contract payments were past due over 60 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
iv.The Group adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.
-
v.The Group classifies customer’s accounts receivable and notes receivable in accordance with customer types and credit rating of customer. The Group applies the simplified approach using provision matrix and loss rate methodology to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis. The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable.
-
vi.The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable and notes receivable. On December 31, 2020 and 2019, the provision matrix, loss rate methodology is as follows:
| Not past due At December 31, 2020 Expected loss rate 0.03% Total book value $ 625,407 Loss allowance $ 180 At December 31, 2019 Expected loss rate 0.03% Total book value $ 691,526 Loss allowance $ 201 |

Further, as of December 31, 2020and 2019, the Group’s accounts receivable amounted to $87,271 and $11,707 and the impairment loss recognised under individual assessment amounted to $6,780 and $146, respectively.
- vii.Movements in relation to the Group applying the simplified approach to provide loss allowance for accounts receivable and notes receivable are as follows:
| At January 1 Provision for impairment Reversal of impairment loss Effect of exchange rate changes ( At December 31 |
2020 $ 4,928 5,535 - 276) $ 10,187 |
2019 $ 10,183 - ( 4,951) ( 304) $ 4,928 |
|---|---|---|
(c) Liquidity risk
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing
~49~
facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, and compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.
-
ii. Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Group treasury. Group treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, time deposits, money market deposits and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned forecasts.
-
iii.The Group’s undrawn borrowing facilities on December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $1,306,808 and $1,121,783, respectively.
-
iv.The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities.

(3) Fair value information
The carrying amount of financial instruments not measured at fair value including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable and other payables (including related parties) are approximate to their fair values. Lease liability interest rates are approximate to market interest rates so that the book value is considered approximate to fair value. Long-term borrowing interest rates (including current portion) are floating rates, which are approximate to market interest rates, so that the book value is considered approximate to fair value.
