Reports

One. 2020 Business Report

Taiwan Tea Corporation 2020 Business Report

Dear shareholders,

Welcome to today’s annual shareholders meeting. I would like to sincerely thank you for attending this meeting on behalf of all of our employees. We are very grateful for your encouragement and support to our directors and employees over the past year.

In recent years, Taiwan Tea Corporation has upheld the philosophy of sustainable operation and fulfilled our commitment to corporate social responsibility. With various advantages of our assets and tea making technology developed for over a hundred years, we progressively achieve the Company’s five main business goals. The overview of our 2020 operation is briefly described as follows:

I. Business Guidelines

The Company’s management team will continue to invest in our main business (namely the tea business) and relevant leisure industries and enhance our channel and distribution services to increase revenue and thereby stabilize our operation. With respect to the development of the tea business, in order to effectively control material safety and improve productivity, the Company adopts large- scale mechanized farming practices and introduces production and sales management procedures in the Laopi Tea Farm in Pingtung. An area of 452 hectares of land was planted with tea tree saplings in the first quarter in 2020. We have entered the second phase of promoting automated standard tea production. It is expected that our output of tea will increase year by year.

Our sale of tea in 2020 was affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, and did not grow as expected. The Company’s management team reduced the

  • 13 -

expenditure in the production unit and adjusted the direction of our operation in response to the situation in the first half of 2020. Our business performance was back to normal in the second half of the year. However, since the pandemic has not mitigated yet, and the availability of vaccines is yet to be seen, the management team is expected to take conservative strategies regarding production by only investing capital expenditure costs relevant to the production and suspending the expenditure of all the relevant indirect items to reduce cash outflow. For the development of the business, the team will provide more flexibility to respond to market changes in the hope of facilitating our performance on a continuous basis. With regard to leisure industries, the LuGao Cafe Manor has delivered outstanding performance and attracted numerous tourists since its launch in August 2019. The manor tour and coffee manufacture experience services will be added in the future. In addition, we will continue to establish hardware and software equipment for our recreational stores, strengthen personnel training to improve service quality and promote the main feature of each spot to grasp the opportunity of domestic trips and raise operating profits.

For land assets, to continue our first operational goal of land utilization set in 2007, we will develop our land to increase shareholders’ equity. We will implement property development projects in line with the government’s national land planning policy. Our new large-scale plans cover the fields of industrial innovation, accommodation and recreation. In relation to our leisure business of tea ecology, we will progressively create a complete blueprint of leisure spots based on mountain and forest areas where our tea farms are distributed and the locations of our old tea factories and coffee manors by investing new equipment and expanding existing sites integrated with tea culture to maximize the benefits of our utilization of land and the overall value.

As for our shopping mall in the Asia Plaza Building, a business agent was originally commissioned to arrange for domestic and foreign well-known brands to move in and to negotiate with targeted famous large development firms for

  • 14 -

cooperation. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these brands and firms have adopted a conservative investing strategy and wait-and-see attitude, disrupting our original plans and resulting in a situation that the shopping mall has not been fully put into service.

Currently, we are still working together with a famous solicitation group to maintain the operation, number of guests and popularity of the shopping mall. We also review and take response measures regarding the business mode changed by any reasons to expect for the pandemic to create business opportunities.

II. Overview of Implementation

(I) Tea business

(1) Sale and production of tea

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic impact in the market in 2020, the drink industry was seriously damaged. The Company’s wholesale of tea leaves declined dramatically in the first half of 2020. However, even though there was an obvious improvement in the second half of the year after adjusting our strategies, the sales declined by 5%, comparing to 2019. Our Laopi Tea Farm, with the best productivity, produced 187 tons of tea materials in 2020, and will continue to increase its output year after year to facilitate the expansion of the wholesale business. Our target customers’ response to our products is in line with the Company’s expectation; therefore, the prospect for business is optimistic.

Except for the Laopi Tea Farm, our Xiong Kong, Daxi, San Yi and Tongluo, and Yuchi Tea Production Areas mainly produce premium tea and directly sell the tea through our own tourism tea factories, cultural museums and stores to achieve a balance between production and sales.

(2) Agricultural business

  • 15 -

We have accumulated a total area of 521 hectares of land sown with crops in our farms (496 hectares of tea farms; 13 hectares of coffee farms; 12 hectares of collective peach, plum, pomelo, bitter tea tree, olive and Lindley's pear farms) as of 2020, showing a slight increase compared to 2019. To improve the quality of processing of coffee, we established the LuGao Coffee Factory, equipped with the equipment needed for dry/washed/roasting processes. Moreover, we have acquired several world-famous coffee varieties such as Typica, Geisha, Y.Catuai, Maragogype, SL34, Villa Sarchi, Venecia, etc., to offer better flavor.

The Laopi Tea Farm currently has a total area of 452 hectares of land planted with tea tree saplings. The tea tree saplings in the first and second stages have been put into production, with an annual output of 187 tons. In addition, the construction of the new tea factory was completed. We are now in the second phase of machine installment.

(II) Leisure and tourism industry

Our other key business is the development of tourism and leisure. The Company uses the concepts of “health, leisure, environment” and “co-existence with the land” as the management principle and creates distinctive recreational spots combining different ecological environments with local culture, history, architecture and innovation from the north to the south of Taiwan. We currently have: the “Xiong Kong Tea Plantation” and “Daliao Historical Tea House” in New Taipei City, the “Daxi Tea Factory” in Taoyuan, the “Tongluo Tea Factory” in Miaoli, the “Sun Moon Lake Antique Assam Tea Farm” near the Sun Moon Lake in Nantou, and the “LuGao Cafe Manor” that was just put into service in August 2019. The "LuGao Cafe Manor," with a one-of-a-kind view surrounded by tea and coffee farms, especially, has attracted an endless stream of tourists since its operation and has surpassed the

  • 16 -

set goal in its second year of service and made profits ahead of time. In 2020, its operating revenue reached NT$ 31,074 thousand with a net profit of NT$ 7,169 thousand.

The Company’s revenue from the tourism business has been obviously affected since the second half of 2018 as a result of the poor economy, pension reform for military personnel, civil servants and teachers, restrictions against Chinese travelers entering Taiwan, and law and regulation amendments. At the beginning of 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic spreading around the globe, several industries were seriously damaged, including the Company. Fortunately, the pandemic has been well-controlled in the later stage in Taiwan, and our recreational spots are located in the natural environment or spacious areas. Our visitors have highly recognized the concepts of sustainable development and conservation of the natural ecological environment integrated into these spots through our long-term dedication to the sustainability of environments and the concern for culture and history as well as our strict pandemic prevention policies. In 2020, our recreational stores as a whole achieved outstanding performance with the operating revenue reaching NT$ 164,828 thousand, growing by NT$ 24,993 thousand compared to 2019.

In the future, we will continue to reinforce software and hardware facilities in these recreational spots, enhance personnel training, and be in line with the tourism development trend worldwide to make use of our advantages, realize sustainability goals, and improve market segmentation to create new values achieve another success.

(III) Land development business

In response to risks of market volatility during the pandemic,

  • 17 -

we plan to take conservative development strategies for our land development business this year. The main goal is still to increase the value and land-use benefit of our land assets through development projects in order to help expand the Company’s tea business and leisure business locations. An attitude of stable and continuous development is introduced for the expenditure of relevant expenses in development projects to replace the development strategy of multipoint and quick establishment adopted in recent years to create corporate operational profits on a continuous basis.

We will continue to seek investors for collective development and usage of land in large development projects for which the conversion into construction land or the acquisition of permission has been completed, including the “Sanyi Industrial and Commercial Complex Project (About 25.088 hectares)” with 9.2 hectares of commercial land available, the “Residential Complex Project to the North of Tongluo Science Park (About 29.468419 hectares)” available for building 300 single or twin luxurious houses, the “Industrial and Commercial Complex Project at Tongluo Jiuhu Section (About 15.728316 hectares)” available for constructing shopping malls, convention facilities, hotels and other large commercial bases with a scale of 4.6 hectares, and the “Zhongming Recreational Area Project (About 9.9405 hectares)” with 3.5 hectares of recreational land available (including amusement facilities, 125 hotels and service facilities). Furthermore, we will initiate and implement new projects regarding industry innovation, accommodation and recreation according to our annual plan this year to achieve the goal of increasing shareholders’ equity.

Our goal is to create a complete blueprint of leisure spots step by step with respect to the leisure business. According to the distribution of our tea farms operated in our land, we have acquired a

  • 18 -

registration license of leisure farm for the “Xiong Kong Forestry Tea Plantation” (About 7.7895 hectares) in Sanxia, New Taipei City, the “Shimen Forestry Recreational Farm Project” (About 4.6326 hectares)” in Daxi, Taoyuan, and the “Jiuhu Leisure Farm” (The area of the first phase is about 0.585922 hectares.) in Tongluo, Miaoli, which are operated as recreational farms. We will complete our locations concurrently used as a tea factory and a recreational farm by investing in new equipment and expanding the area in existing tea plantations.

(IV) Land asset management

The areas where our land assets stated in accounts are distributed include Taipei City (Zhongzheng, Neihu, Nangang), New Taipei City (Wulai, Xindian, Sanxia), Taoyuan City (Daxi, Fuxing), Wenshuikeng in Hsinchu County, Miaoli County (Tongluo, Sanyi), Nantou County (Yuchi, Puli), Kaohsiung City and Pingtung County. These are mainly agricultural land and forestry land. As of the end of January 2021, the total area of our land assets was 3,731 hectares.

We have filed the relevant information through computers to manage such massive land assets. All branches are responsible for carefully performing inspection and management and recording the results of regular inspections. We carry out irregular audits to prevent deforestation or overbuilding in order to maintain the completeness of land.

(V) Other high value-added businesses

(1) Interior construction business

In 2020, the main business was still to assist our stores and recreational farms in planning, reconstruction and renovation, including on-time completion of the construction planning and decoration of our “Neihu Corporate Headquarter”; the construction of a seating area and the decoration for relevant

  • 19 -

facility changes in the “Tongluo Tea Factory”; the constructions of public toilets and relevant maintenance in the “LuGao Cafe Manor” in Yuchi; the construction of wastewater treatment facilities to discharge the wastewater into the sewer system in the “Daxi Tea Factory.” In addition, we completed the renovation of the ASIAA and IOM building at Academia Sinica and several house construction projects. We have contracted for the construction of dry partition walls in BES Engineering's Huanan Bank Tucheng Branch construction project.

  • (2) Import and export key account business

The Import and Export Key Account Section achieved an operating revenue of NT$ 33,635 thousand from products distributed through certain channels based on our good relationship with upstream and downstream companies in the industry.

III. Implementation of the Business Plan

The Company's 2020 business revenue was NT$ 505,994 thousand, increasing by 2.69% compared to the business revenue of NT$ 492,721 thousand in 2019. The operating revenue was NT$ 311,765 thousand, accounting for 61.61% of the business revenue and growing by 4.27% compared to the operating revenue of NT$ 298,998 thousand in 2019.

  • 20 -

thousand, increasing by NT$ 51,070 thousand compared to the other comprehensive loss of NT$ 5,198 thousand in 2019, mainly due to valuation adjustments to the investment in equity instruments.

IV. Operating Budget Implementation Status

(I) Business revenue

The Company's 2020 business revenue totaled NT$ 505,994 thousand. The operating revenue, including the revenue from the sale of products, construction contract revenue, rental income and other operating revenue, totaled NT$ 311,765 thousand, growing by NT$ 12,767 thousand compared to 2019, thanks to the support from the operation of the “LuGao Cafe Manor.” The non-operating revenue, including the profit from the disposal of investment property, totaled NT$ 194,229 thousand, increasing by NT$ 506 thousand compared to 2019, as a result of higher profit from investment under the equity method of the year as compared to 2019.

(II) Operating expense

The Company's 2020 operating expense and non-operating expense were NT$ 459,328 thousand and NT$ 79,214 thousand, respectively, and totaled NT$ 538,542 thousand, decreasing by NT$ 126,734 thousand compared to 2019. Even though the operating cost increased as the operating revenue grew, the non-operating expense reduced by NT$ 118,038 thousand as compared to 2019 mainly because there was no loss in impairment of investment property recognized in this period.

V. Profitability analysis

Our operating revenue improved in 2020 thanks to the great performance achieved by our recreational stores as a whole, the newlyestablished “LuGao Cafe Manor” in particular. The Company will uphold the operating guidelines to focus on developing the main business and

  • 21 -

relevant leisure industries and continue to utilize our land assets in the hope of achieving effective use thereof and maximize their value. 2020 marked the 5th year of development of the investment in Laopi Tea Farm. The agricultural affairs have been implemented smoothly. With the tea farm management integrated with technology, tea leaves have grown well, and the production quality has remained high. However, since the pandemic has not yet been mitigated, the management team is expected to adopt conservative strategies regarding the production of tea leaves. In addition to postponing the plan of putting hardware equipment into service in order to defer capital expenditure, the team will review and test the procedures and allocation of production lines more carefully to maximize the effectiveness of the production lines. These measures enable us to have more flexibility on business promotion to respond to market changes. We hope that our main tea business can grow stably year by year. The Company has been in the transitional period in recent years; nevertheless, it is projected that we can make stable profits after the output of tea leaves grows year after year.

VI. Performance in research and development

The main purpose of our tea leaf-related technology research and development is to cut down costs, improve productivity and enhance quality. Our R&D results are tested and corrected numerously before being put into actual use. We take advantage of our rich experience in traditional tea production and utilize technology equipment and technology from different fields to create better results.

In 2020, Our research and development were oriented towards the digitization of tea leaf production and processing. We have currently completed the development of application software and will collect the data of farms for analysis. With respect to planting and cultivation in the farms, we will focus on labor- and energy-saving research to reduce investment costs.

Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese

Independent Auditors’ Report

To Taiwan Tea Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying individual balance sheets of Taiwan Tea Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related individual statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and notes to the individual financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors section of our report), the individual financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the individual financial positions of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and their individual financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

  • 30 -

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 individual financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognized operating revenue in the amount of NT$311,765 thousand in 2020. Revenue are primarily related to sales of goods, construction revenue and rental revenue. Due to each revenue transaction process and the timing of revenue recognition are different, is a key audit matter when conducting the audit of the individual financial statements.

The audit procedures we performed regarding revenue recognition included but not limited to: evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies regarding revenue recognition; understand the transaction and recognition process and perform tests of control on the effectiveness of control points established by management; perform comparative analysis of major customers to assess the reasonableness of the transaction amounts and counterparties; read and understand the contracts to identify the timing of revenue recognition; perform analytical review procedures on gross profit margin by categories; verify the stage of the completion of construction; perform test of details, including select samples to inspect the purchase orders and delivery notes.

We also considered the appropriateness of the relevant disclosure included in Note 4 and Note 6 to the individual financial statements.

Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors

We did not audit the financial statements of certain associates accounted for under the equity method whose statements are based solely on the reports of other auditors. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors. These associates under equity method amounted to NT$ 16,775 thousand and NT$15,615 thousand, both representing 0% of individual total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The related shares of profit or loss of associates under the equity method amounted to NT$1,020 thousand and NT$(20,176) thousand, representing (3)% and 12% of the individual loss before tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income of associates under the equity method amounted to NT$140 thousand and NT$83 thousand, both representing 0% of the individual other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual

  • 31 -

Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of individual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the individual financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these individual financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual 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

  2. 32 -

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.

  1. 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 internal control of the Company.

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

  3. 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. 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 individual 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the individual financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the individual financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  5. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the individual financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2020 individual financial statements and

  • 33 -

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.
