USI Corporation
2020 Business Report
The 2020 net sales income reduced by 7% from last year to NT$10.2 billion, with a budget achievement rate of 94%. Net income before tax increased by NT$1.101 billion to NT$2.56 billion, with a budget achievement rate of 243%. Net income after tax was NT$2.41 billion.
In business performance in 2020, the price of ethylene-related raw materials were influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the escalation of face mask demand, we actively increased the HDPE output. The annual sales volume was 120,379 MT, a new high in history. Although the price and demand of EVA fell to the bottom in Q2, a strong demand regained alongside the PV market recovery in Q3. At the end of 2020, the price reached a new high in recent years, increasing the difference with ethylene. The total sales volume of EVA/PE in 2020 increased by 6% from 2019 to 270,920 MT. In production, through continual process improvement, old equipment replacement, production efficiency and quality improvement to reduce the production cost, and active trial of niche products, the annual output increased by 3% from last year to 244,162 MT. We also actively engaged in talent cultivation, HSE
- 4 -
improvement, energy conservation, and process safety management (PSM) implementation to pursue sustainable development. In R&D, apart from continuously optimizing the production process of the optical-grade cyclic block copolymer (CBC), we also engaged in product certification and implementation in coordination with the customers of microplate and cuvette for biomedical inspections and the spectacle frame and special packaging materials. We continued to expand production applications in ink, shoe styrene, and electrical wires/cables for high value value-added EVA products. Production of high MI HDPE materials was stabilized, and products are applied in processes including injection molding and melt impregnation.
The net operating income in 2020 profit increased by NT$206 million from last year to NT$908 million. The net non-operating income in 2020 was NT$1.652 billion, including mainly income from investments by equity method and income from dividends. In addition to persistently enhancing our concerns for and implementing environmental and safety measures, we strengthened our predictive maintenance to ensure the safety of the working environment in all plants. In CSR performance, apart from continuing our efforts in various energy conservation and carbon reduction activities, recycling and reuse, and public safety in the environmental category, we supported the vulnerable, the rural, environmental protection, and ecological conservation through the USI Education Foundation, sponsored educational and charitable activities and college/university social service activities through offering grants and scholarships to colleges and universities to fulfill CSR in real action.
Looking ahead to 2021, although the commercial operation of new

EVA capacity of 600,000 MT will start, as the solar energy demand remains optimistic, its impact on the overall EVA demand will not be great. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, market prediction of the global economic condition is conservative. We will make efforts to seek stable and low-cost ethylene sources, lower production costs, improve the quality of product and technical service, develop differentiated products, and enhance the cultivation of markets outside of China to disperse market risk. We will also enhance the R&D of new products and new technologies to enhance competitiveness for sustainable development and growth.

Independent Auditors’ Report
TO USI Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of USI Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Group) as of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for the months from January 1 to December 31 of 2020 and 2019.
The accountant opinions are that the preparations of significant issues of the consolidated financial statements are made in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. They fairly present the consolidated financial conditions for the years ended December 31 of 2020 and 2019 of the Group and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the months from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements Year 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China on February 25, 2020, 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. We believe that the audit evidence
10
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 Year 2020. 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 Year 2020 are stated as follows:
Valuation of Inventory
As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the Group’s inventory was NT$4,296,228 thousand (i.e., the gross amount of inventory of NT$4,910,989 thousand with a deduction of the allowance for inventory valuation of NT$614,761 thousand), representing 6% of the Group’s total assets. As the Group’s inventory was stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value due to price fluctuation effect of raw material, ethylene, while keen fluctuation of international oil price and such evaluation was involved critical judgment and accounting estimates by the management, we identified the valuation of inventory has been identified as a key audit matter.
Refer to Notes 4(6), 5(2) and 11 to the Group’s financial statements for the related accounting policies and disclosures on inventory valuation.
The main audit procedures that we performed for valuation of inventory are as follows:
-
We obtained an understanding of the reasonableness of the Group’s policies and methods of the allowance for inventory valuation.
-
We sampled and cross-checked the raw material quote over latest period or sales invoice with the lower inventory cost and net realized value prepared by Management, also revalidated net realization of inventroy to assess the base and reasonableness of the Management's inventory valuation.
-
We observed year-end inventory and sampled to figure out the status, also, we evalauted the reasonableness of recognizing sluggish inventory as loss for price decline reserve.
Other Matters
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of USI Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
11
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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and 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 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 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:
-
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
12
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 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.
-
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. 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 statements 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 consolidated financial statements Year 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation preludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
13
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 reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Pi-Yu Chuang (Fiancial Supervisory Commission, Approval No. 1070323246) and Cheng-Hung Kuo (Securities and Futures Bureau, Approval No. 0920123784).

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of USI Corporation
Audit Opinion
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of USI Corporation (the “Company”) as of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the Accompanying Statements of Comprehensive Income, Accompanying Statements of Changes in Equity, Accompanying Statements of Cash Flows and Notes to the accompanying Financial Statements (including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for the months from January 1 toDecember 31 of 2020 and 2019.
The accountant opinions are that the preparations of significant issues of the accompanying financial statements are made in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. They fairly present the accompanying financial conditions for the and December 31 of 2020and 2019 of USI Corporation and the accompanying financial performance and accompanying cash flows for the months from January 1 to December 31 of 2020 and of 2019.
Basis for audit opinion
For the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the audit was conducted in accordance with the Rules Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. For the year ended December 31, 2019, We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestationof Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China on February 25, 2020 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 Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant, and keep independent of USI Corporation.We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that
21
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 for USI Corporation in our audit of the accompanying financial statements for the year 2020. 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 matter identified in the audit of the Company’s the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 is as follows.
Assessment of inventory write-down
As of December 31, 2020, the inventory nets of the Company are NT$776,109 (The total inventory costs NT$812,549 deducting the allowance for inventory write-down NT$36,440). They account for 2% of total assets of the accompanying Financial Statements assets. The inventory of the Company is measuredby adopting the lower between costs andnet realisable value. The inventory valuation is affected by the price fluctuation of main raw material ethylene, and international oil price fluctuates strongly. Besides, the related assessment of inventory net realisable value involves the critical judgements and assessment of the management. Therefore, the assessment of inventory write-down is deemedas the year’s key audit matter.
Please refer to the accompanying Financial Statements Note 4 (5), 5 (1) and 11 for the accounting policies, critical accounting judgment and estimation uncertainty and relevant disclosure information related to the assessment of inventory write-down.
The following are the main audit processes audited by the accounts for the above assessment of inventory write-down:
-
Based on the understanding of the Company, assess the appropriateness of the counting and drawing policies and methods of inventory wite down.
-
Obtain the assessment information compiled by the management about adopting the lower between inventory costs or net realisable value authority. Then, make sampling check the latest raw material quotation or the sales invoices,recalculating the net realisable value of inventory and assessing the basis and the reasonableness of the net realisable value estimated by the management.
-
Observe the year-end inventorytaking and sample the products to understand the condition of inventory. Assess thereasonableness of the obsolescence inventory allowance for write-down.
22
Responsibilities of management and those charging with governance for the accompanying financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the accompanying financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and such internal control as the management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the accompanying financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the accompanying financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those in charge with the Company’s governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing its financial reporting process.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the accompanying financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accompanying financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these accompanying financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the accompanying 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 Company’s internal control.
23
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the 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 Company’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 accompanying 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.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the accompanying financial statements (including the related notes) and whether the accompanying financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those in charge 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 Year Ended December 31, 2020 the accompanying financial statements of the Company and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Pi-Yu Chuang and Cheng-Hong Kuo.

The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders. With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3 percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.

- 45 -
his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting.
A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to this Corporation before 2 days before the date of the shareholders meeting.

After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to this Corporation, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before 2 business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in this Corporation's articles of incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.
