WAH LEE INDUSTRIAL CORP.
I. 2020 Business Report
2020 is a year full of challenges. Amid the continuing trade war between China and the U.S., technology war, financial war, and geopolitical war have put a spotlight on Taiwan on the world's economic stage. Wah Lee not only continues playing a pivotal role of total solution provider in Greater China and Asian area, but also expects ourselves to become a world-class total solution provider in the future. Besides, the relentless spread of covid-19 overshadows the world economy. The GDP of the U.S. in 2020 was 3.5% of negative growth, the worst since the second world war. On the other hand, Taiwan’s GDP in 2020 grew by 2.98% since Taiwan successfully controlled the pandemic, outperforming the main economic entities worldwide. Taiwan’s technology industry thus stood out in the global supply chain during last year.
Despite the global recession, Wah Lee performed well last year. In 2020, the record-breaking consolidated revenue of NT$59.08 billion passed the US$2 billion threshold, suggesting the Company’s continuous growing business scale. The gross profit reached $4.8 billion whilst the net operating income reached $2.11 billion. Last year the profits from equity-method investment companies also contributed to a wealthy non-operating income. These resulted in the consolidated profit before tax of $2.64 billion. In 2020, both the Company’s profit after tax of $2.05 billion and earnings per share of $8.03 reached the record high, increased by 31.2% from previous year. In terms of financial indicators, Wah Lee’s consolidated current ratio and quick ratio during 2020 were 158% and 125%, respectively. Cash turnover days of 86 days is 4 days less than the previous year. 15% of return on equity in 2020 is also the highest during the recent years. Cash inflow from operating activities amounted to $1.21 billion. Each financial indicator performed well.
There have been high demand on production capacity as in semiconductor industry the major clients’ advanced process developed rapidly. Wah Lee is renowned for its global leading IC foundry concept stock because it is the biggest supplier of consumables, such as photoresist, electronicgrade chemicals and specialty gases, photoresist strippers, CMP slurry as well as machinery spare parts. The sales grow rapidly with the boost from global chip shortages and technology upgrades.
The increasing demand following the emergence of 5G application in high-end servers, routers, switch, antenna module and telecommunication equipment urges PCB factories and IC substrate makers to lift their production capacities. It thus stimulates Wah Lee’s sales in PCB-related materials such as low dielectric CCL, DI high resolution dry film, PCB equipment, high frequency connectors, electronic components and ICs.
Automotive market has become the most potential industry for engineering plastics in recent years. We foresee a wider application of plastic in automotive exterior parts since the plastic has been primarily used in interior materials. Plastic makers are competing to enter the automotive parts market which requires high intensity standard. In response to the stricter emission regulations around the world, automakers consider vehicle weight reduction their priority by replacing metals with plastic in general. Wah Lee’s high-end engineering plastics have been widely applied in traditional automotive parts. Its products are also equipped in electric vehicles and used in ECU connectors, navigators, speedometers, camera modules.
Business opportunities emerge amid working from home since pandemic outbreak last year and online learning to reduce physical contact. Wah Lee’s sales in heat resistant nylon materials
- 9 -
has been skyrocketing to meet the great demand of computers, notebooks, servers and 5G mobile phones. Furthermore, sales of opto-electronics rapidly increased including in the upper and downstream panel products, video-related electronic devices, driver ICs, electronic components and automatic equipment. The growth expands to overseas electronic products as well.
Wah Lee is considered to be an aircraft carrier in the advanced material industry. Since it was founded more than 50 years ago, Wah Lee has always been able to follow the technology development and seize the opportunities in mainstream industries to create striking business results one after another. Wah Lee precisely captures global economic development trends, for example, 5G, HPC, artificial intelligence and AIOT, electric vehicles, clean and environmental friendly green energy, biotech medical and industry 4.0 (i.e. industrial automation and smart factory). We had set out the business plans in the aforementioned fields. In addition, we will remain our leading material and equipment supplier position in each significant technology industry. To sustain the next 50 years of dynamic growth, we are confident to grasp development of each mainstream industry.
At last, we appreciate our shareholders’ supports for a long period of time as well as our employees’ dedicated efforts. Wah Lee will stride into becoming the world-class technology application total solution provider.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Wah Lee Industrial Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Wah Lee Industrial Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 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. We conducted our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 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 Parent Company Only 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, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only 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 Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 is discussed as follows:
- 17 -
Occurrence of revenue from specific customers
The operating revenue of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020 was NT$33,236,491 thousand, of which the revenue and gross profit from specific customers show significant growth over the past year. In addition, based on the ROC GAAS, revenue recognition is presumed to have a significant risk. Therefore, we considered the occurrence of revenue from specific customers as a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4 to the parent company only financial statements for the related accounting policy on revenue recognition.
The main audit procedures that we performed to address the occurrence of the revenue from specific customers were as follows:
-
We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls relevant to shipment and revenue recognition.
-
We verified, on a sampling basis, the occurrence of recorded revenue from specific customers against supporting documents, including shipping and collection documents, and we checked whether the payer is the same as the buyer.
Other Matter
The financial statements of certain investees accounted for using the equity method in the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were audited by other independent auditors; accordingly, our opinion insofar as it relates to the amounts and information disclosed, is based solely on the reports of other independent auditors.
The carrying values of the investments accounted for using the equity method as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were NT$728,537 thousand and NT$675,514 thousand, respectively, both representing 3% of total parent company only assets; and the amounts of the share of profit of associates for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were NT$111,793 thousand and NT$69,036 thousand, representing 5% and 4% of parent company only profit before income tax, respectively.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, 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 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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
- 18 -
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 parent company only 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 parent company only 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.
-
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 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 auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 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
- 19 -
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Chiu-Yen Wu and ChenLi Chen.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Wah Lee Industrial Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Wah Lee Industrial Corporation (the :Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of 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 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 audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 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. We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 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 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 for the year ended December 31, 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 matter identified in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 is discussed as follows:
- 27 -
Occurrence of revenue from specific customers
The operating revenue of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2020 was NT$59,080,920 thousand, of which the revenue and gross profit from specific customers show significant growth over the past year. In addition, based on the ROC GAAS, revenue recognition is presumed to have a significant risk. Therefore, we considered the occurrence of revenue from specific customers as a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the related accounting policy on revenue recognition.
The main audit procedures that we performed to address the occurrence of the revenue from specific customers were as follows:
-
We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls relevant to shipment and revenue recognition.
-
We verified, on a sampling basis, the occurrence of recorded revenue from specific customers against supporting documents, including shipping and collection documents, and we checked whether the payer is the same as the buyer.
Other Matter
The financial statements of certain investees accounted for using the equity method in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were audited by other independent auditors; accordingly, our opinion insofar as it relates to the amounts and information disclosed, is based solely on the reports of other independent auditors.
The carrying values of the investments accounted for using the equity method as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were NT$728,537 thousand and NT$675,514 thousand, respectively, both representing 2% of total consolidated assets; and the amounts of the share of profit of associates for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were NT$111,793 thousand and NT$69,036 thousand, both representing 4% of consolidated profit before income tax.
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Wah Lee Industrial Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.
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 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.
- 28 -
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 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 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.
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, 2020 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
- 29 -
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 audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Chiu-Yen Wu and ChenLi Chen.
