Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Management Team of United Renewable Energy (URE), I would like to thank you all for your continued support.

International Monetary Fund indicated that the growth rate in 2019 was at lowest since 2008-2009 financial crises. However 2019 also see climate catastrophes caused by global warming, countries around world tried to increase the speed of reduction in carbon footprint, increase the utilization of renewable energy and slow the global warming, this lead to continue growth of PV industry. During this challenging time, the consolidated revenue of URE improved 38% from previous year to NT$18 billion. With hard work and dedication from all our employees, the sales volume of solar cell and module increased significantly and URE maintain leadership place in Taiwan market.

At the moment URE mass produce p-Perc monocrystalline solar cell “Black 21”, with conversion efficiency reach 22.1%, the LID and PID outperformed traditional solar cell. The “BiFi” URE proprietary p-PERC monocrystalline bifacial solar cells with conversion efficiency of 22.1%, combined with URE double glass half cut module “Glory Peach” can reach 420W in front which has same efficiency as 470w, 1500VDC design, low LID, PID resistant and passed 10x IEC test. The rear side diffuse and reflect light could produce about 10-15% of the light produce by the front of panel; this could lower the cost of Balance of System. For n-type cell, URE have “HELLO” product with bifacial solar cell HJT technology, the conversion efficiency can reach 24.5%, power output 340W equivalent to module conversion efficiency of 20.8%, and right now it’s in production.

URE solar cell and module was awarded Taiwan Excellent PV award by Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2019, and its seven consecutive years that URE has the honor of receiving this award. URE module passes the newest and most strict testing by organizations such as TUV Rheinland and IEC, and was certified by the organizations, at same time URE product also certified as clean energy product by organizations from numerous countries. URE was also on the list of Bloomberg New Energy Finance Tier 1 Module Manufacturer List in 2019, further recognized URE’s excellence in the PV field.

URE expands downstream solar system project business actively. URE has built up its core competences in development, construction, sales, and financing for global solar system projects. As well as providing O&M service for solar system. URE is largest developer of PV systems in Taiwan, with accumulated installed capacity and project under development/construction over 1.5GW. In 2019, URE sold largest solar farm on airport real estate in the world for US$24.2 million, and Group subsidiary CFY sold over 200MW of solar projects to a well-known large international energy investment fund. The deal included over 300 projects in 15 states, many of which have long term PPAs with Fortune 40 clients. This successful deal shows URE possessed the comprehensive ability to develop, construct and sell solar projects all over the world. In the domestic market, URE provided module to Taiwan largest PV power plant with over 100MW in Changhua Coastal Industrial Park. System business continued to win PV projects, most significant win is the naval port rooftop project. URE sold development right for a system project in Changhua, Taiwan to an International Investment Fund, and currently are developing second phase of the project with size around 50MW. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, in 2020 newly added solar capacity will grow around 14% from same period 2019. Global Market Outlook for Solar Power estimate accumulated solar capacity will reach 1,296GW in 2023. Due to the future potential and stable income from solar system, URE will aggressively develop global solar system business which can also create demand for solar cell and module products and driving future growth.

In order to provide total solutions for the renewable energy, URE invested in design and development of Energy Storage System (ESS) products for different situations, such as small and medium household units, large

The household ESS has UPS function and can be connected to mobile via APP to monitor electricity usage anytime and anywhere. The URE’s UPS battery system has already been shipped to Europe, it can stabilize electricity supply, and URE already see strong demand from customers for this product. Right now we see China and United State of America encourage the PV system projects to include ESS. Bloomberg New Energy Finance predicted there will be around US$ 500 billion worth of projects include ESS in 2020, and energy storage products will increase usage of renewable energy.

URE successfully developed the first hydrogen fuel cell heavy scooter, equivalent to 125cc fossil fuel motorcycle. The hydrogen fuel cell electric scooter is environmental-friendly and emit only water. Moreover, URE also has hydrogen fuel cell scooters for urban areas. With zero emission, the hydrogen fuel cell electric scooter is the first choice to reduce air pollution. Hydrogen fuel cells technology provided people an alternative for clean energy.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter section of this report), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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.

Emphasis of Matter

As disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Corporation elected to apply the guidance of IFRS 16 in determining whether contracts are, or contain, a lease only to contracts entered into. Power facility contracts, which are currently identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, do not meet the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 and are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15 because customers do not have the right to direct the use of the identified assets. The Corporation elected to restate prior reporting periods with the cumulative effect of the initial application recognized at the date of initial application in accordance with IAS 8. Our review result is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters identified in the Corporation’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:

The authenticity of sales revenue recognition

The main operating income of the Corporation comes from sales of solar cells, solar modules and solar power plants. After the three-in-one merger on October 1, 2018, the gross profit of module sales

  • 18 -

changed from negative to positive, and the sales volume continued to increase. The Corporation, in order to show the practical results of the triple play, may increase the risk of false revenue through false sales of solar module orders. Therefore, we considered the authenticity of revenue recognition as a key audit matter. For the accounting policies on sales revenue recognition, refer to Note 4-o, and for the description of sales revenue, refer to Note 23.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls.

  2. We checked the transaction documents of sales revenue, including sales orders, shipping documents, and receipt documents to understand the control of the identified products, the transfer of significant risks and rewards to the buyer and to identify the Group’s revenue recognition.

  3. We performed post-financial reporting period audit and checked the reasonableness of significant sales returns and discounts after the period.

Assessment of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment

As of December 31, 2019, the property, plant and equipment in the balance sheet was NT$10,151,154 thousand. The management assesses the Group’s financial performance by identifying any signs of impairment on the tangible assets at each balance sheet date. If any evidence of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset needs to be estimated. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be estimated, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs is estimated. Because the above tangible assets account for 26% of the total consolidated assets and the calculation of the recoverable amount involves many assumptions and estimates, the method will directly affect the amount recognized for impairment losses. Therefore, we considered the assessment of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment as a key audit matter. For the accounting policies on impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, refer to Notes 4-k and 5. For the description of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, refer to Note 13.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We understood and tested the effectiveness of the design of major internal controls for the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment.

  2. We understood and reviewed the Corporation’s self-assessment of asset impairment for cash-generating units that show signs of impairment.

  3. We consulted the internal experts of the firm to understand and evaluate the rationality of the assumptions and methods of impairment assessment, including the process for assessing the operating forecasts for the next five years, and the assumptions of calculating the weighted average cost of capital ratio.

Other Matter

The financial statements of some investee companies accounted for using the equity method were audited by other auditors. The amounts within the financial statements for those investee companies were based solely on the reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the aforementioned investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$2,635,937 thousand and NT$3,318,666 thousand, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Corporation’s share of losses on the aforesaid investment accounted for

  • 19 -

using the equity method was NT$415,717 thousand and NT$205,606 thousand, respectively.

The financial statements of some investee companies accounted for using the equity method as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are based on a different framework of the accompanying financial statements and which we have not audited, were audited by other auditors in accordance with different auditing standards. We have performed compulsory audit procedures for transferring adjustments of the reports to be in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. The financial statements of the aforementioned investee companies were based on the reports of other auditors and the result of additional audit procedures performed 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. As of December 31, 2018, the aforesaid investment accounted for using the equity method was NT$234,182 thousand. For the years ended December 31, 2018, the share of profit of the aforesaid investments accounted for using the equity method was NT$62,984 thousand.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Corporation 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 Corporation’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. 20 -

  3. 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 Corporation’s internal control.

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

  5. 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 Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

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

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yi-Hsin Kao and Yu-Feng Huang.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter section of this report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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.

Emphasis of Matter

As disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group elected to apply the guidance of IFRS 16 in determining whether contracts are, or contain, a lease only to contracts entered into. Power facility contracts, which are currently identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, do not meet the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 and are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15 because customers do not have the right to direct the use of the identified assets. The Group elected to restate prior reporting periods with the cumulative effect of the initial application recognized at the date of initial application in accordance with IAS 8. Our review result is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters identified in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:

  • 29 -

Revenue recognition

The Group’s major sales come from solar cells, modules and power facilities. After the three-in-one merger on October 1, 2018, the gross profit of module sales has changed from negative to positive, and the sales volume continued to increase. In order for the Group to show the results of the three-in-one merger, there may be a risk of false sales of solar module orders and the false increase in revenue. Therefore, we considered revenue recognition as a key audit matter. For the accounting policies for the recognition of revenue, refer to Note 4-p. For the description of sales revenue, refer to Note 26.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls.

  2. We checked the transaction documents of sales revenue, including sales orders, shipping documents, and receipt documents to understand the control of the identified products, the transfer of significant risks and rewards to the buyer and to identify the Group’s revenue recognition.

  3. We performed post-financial reporting period audit and checked the reasonableness of significant sales returns and discounts after the period.

Assessment of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment

As of December 31, 2019, the property, plant and equipment in the consolidated balance sheet was NT$19,064,958 thousand. The management assesses the Group’s financial performance by identifying any signs of impairment on the tangible assets at each balance sheet date. If any evidence of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset needs to be estimated. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be estimated, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs is estimated. Because the above tangible assets account for 40% of the total consolidated assets and the calculation of the recoverable amount involves many assumptions and estimates, the method will directly affect the amount recognized for impairment losses. Therefore, we considered the assessment of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment as a key audit matter. For the accounting policies on impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, refer to Notes 4-l and 5. For the description of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, refer to Note 15.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We understood and tested the effectiveness of the design of major internal controls for the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment.

  2. We understood and reviewed the Group’s self-assessment of asset impairment for cash-generating units that show signs of impairment.

  3. We consulted the internal experts of the firm to understand and evaluate the rationality of the assumptions and methods of impairment assessment, including the process for assessing the operating forecasts for the next five years, and the assumptions of calculating the weighted average cost of capital ratio.

Other Matter

Some subsidiaries included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors. The amounts within the consolidated financial statements for those subsidiaries were based solely on the reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, total assets of the aforementioned subsidiaries were 22.09% and 16.07% of the consolidated total assets, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the

  • 30 -

operating revenues of these subsidiaries were 3.25% and 10.32% of the consolidated total operating revenue, respectively.

The financial statements of some investee companies accounted for using the equity method were audited by other auditors. The amounts within the consolidated financial statements for those investee companies were based solely on the reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the aforementioned investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$66,769 thousand and NT$114,284 thousand, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was a loss of NT$47,515 thousand and a gain of NT$7,541 thousand, respectively, from the aforesaid investments accounted for using the equity method.

Some subsidiaries included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements, which we have not audited but were audited by other auditors in accordance with different auditing standards, are based on a framework different from the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We have performed compulsory audit procedures and have made adjustments to the other financial statements for them to conform with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. The consolidated financial statement amounts for the aforementioned subsidiaries were based on the reports of other auditors and the results of additional audit procedures performed 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. As of December 31, 2018, total assets of the aforementioned subsidiaries was 4.02% of the consolidated total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2018, the operating revenue of these subsidiaries was 3.31% of the consolidated total operating revenue.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of the Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with other matters paragraphs.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these

  • 31 -

consolidated financial statements.

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 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.

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

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

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

  • 32 -

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yi-Hsin Kao and Yu-Feng Huang.
