Walsin Lihwa Corporation

2018 Business Report

1. Preamble

The Company's overall profitability hit a record high thanks to the recovery of global economy in 2018. Profitability of the Wire and Cable Business Unit (" BU ") rose, benefiting from the increased demand for infrastructure and plant construction in Taiwan; the Real Estate BU recognized the revenue from the sale of office buildings and residential products; and the electronics industry's boom in the first half of the year increased the Company's investment gains. However, international raw material prices became more volatile and the imbalance between the supply and demand in the stainless steel market intensified in the fourth quarter, due to the heightened global trade protectionism, including not only the China-US trade war but also the defensive investigation launched by the European Union, thus affecting profitability performance the Stainless Steel Business in fourth quarter.

Looking forward to 2019, not only the overall international economic situation will continue to be affected by the China-US trade war and the imbalance between the supply and demand in the stainless steel market, but also the uncertainty over US interest rates, the stagnation of China's economic development and the limited growth of Taiwan's market will cause the Company's manufacturing businesses to face more serious challenges. In the face of the challenges and opportunities arising from the continuous innovation of technology and the changes in business models brought about by the Internet of Things, the Company will continue to expand its investments in technology applications to accelerate the accumulation of know-how in the manufacturing BUs, shorten the time it takes to respond to customer demand and enhance customer service value and other core competencies, with a view to transforming the Company into a manufacturing-services-driven company and maintaining the Company's continued growth dynamics.

(1) Operating Revenue

  • In 2018, the sales volume of stainless steel has increased to 840,000 tons, which was a 7% year-on-year increase; the sales volume of copper materials and wire/cables stayed roughly the same as previous years. The revenue of commercial real estate sold was 8 billion in 2018. However, due to a 6% and a 26% year-on-year increase in copper and nickel prices respectively, the overall operating revenue rose about 23.1 billion year on year.

  • (2) Gross Profit

In 2018, the gross profit has increased by 3.9 billion year on year, mainly because the Real Estate BU has recognized revenues from the housing handovers in Lot A and Lot B (Phase I) and Lot D (Phase II).

  • (3) Operating Expenses

The rise in the 2018 operating expenses can be attributable to the increase in the personnel expenses (including employee compensation and bonuses) due to the Company's record-high overall profitability, as well as to the increase in investments in technology-application-related talents and expenses arising from the rise in sales of properties by the Real Estate BU.

  • (4) Non-Operating Income and Expenses

The 2018 non-operating income and expenses rose substantially year on year, which mainly benefited from Walsin Technology Corporation's record-high profitability in 2018 and stable gains from other reinvestments.

3. Operating Overview and Prospects of the Business Units

  • (1) Wire and Cable

The Copper Material Department adopts a steady strategy, with capacity utilization almost to 100%. However, due to the China-US trade war and the fierce competition in the Chinese market, the Company will continue

  • 7 -

to improve its product quality in order to maintain the competitive edge over its competitors to remain its market share.

Main products manufactured by the Power Cable Department has entered a mature and stable stage in Taiwan's construction market; as a result, the Company has been actively expanded into solar energy, wind power and other green energy industry as well as port machine industry, and takes every opportunity to promote the relevant industrial cables in global markets, in order to expand the market presence.

  • (2) Stainless Steel

The Stainless Steel Department continues to enhance manufacturing capacity and product quality through capital expenditure, while responding to customer needs and increasing the proportion of highvalue products by developing new types of steel and expanding product sizes, with the goal of reducing the impact of Chinese competitors subsidized by increased export tax rebates. In addition, it will continue to carry out green-manufacturing-related investments such as environmental protection and energy conservation.

  • (3) Real Estate

  • The construction of Lot D of Walsin Centro located in Nanjing has completed, and the housing handover and the recognition of the profit in connection with the first and second phase of the project are also completed. The third phase is estimated to complete its sales by 2019.

Lot A and Lot B of Walsin Centro located in Nanjing adopt the phased development sales model. The housing handover and the recognition of the profit in connection with the first phase have been completed in 2018. The buildings Nos. 1 and 6 of the second phase, office buildings annexed to a shopping mall, are under construction and are expected to be completed by the end of 2020.

The Walsin shopping mall on Lot A and Lot B located in Nanjing has the total area of 170,000 square meters, featuring "Healthy Life, Parents and Children Entertainment and Aesthetic Experience" as the three core elements, in order to create a life aesthetic community and an art sharing and cultural space.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Walsin Lihwa Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Walsin Lihwa Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 (as set out in the Other Matter section of our report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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. 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 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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.

  • 22 -

The following are the key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018:

Sales Revenue Recognition

The sales revenue of the Group's stainless steel business unit had grown significantly in 2018. The business unit's main products include stainless steel bars and stainless steel cold-and-hot rolled coils. Aside from Taiwan, there are many customers in China, America, Southeast Asia and Europe and the sales terms vary for different types of customers. Thus, we consider the reality of export sales revenue of stainless steel business unit as key audit matter. Refer to Notes 4 and 25 to the consolidated financial statements for related accounting policies and disclosure information of revenue recognition.

  • We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  • We verified and tested the internal control process of the export sales of stainless steel business unit.

  • We sampled and inspected the transactions of export sales revenue of stainless steel business unit to confirm its existence.

Inventory Valuation

As of December 31, 2018, the manufacturing and trading inventory of the Group amounted to NT$18,292,552 thousand, which constituted 14% of the Group's consolidated total assets, as of December 31, 2018. Refer to Notes 4, 5 and 13 for related accounting policies of inventory and inventory valuation.

The inventory of the Group is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The valuation of the net realizable value required significant judgment and estimation. In addition, the market price of copper and nickel fluctuated frequently, which significantly affects the valuation of wire, cable and specialty steel inventory. As a result, inventory valuation is regarded as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures in response to inventory valuation consist of obtaining inventory valuation sheets prepared by management, selecting samples of estimated selling prices and tracing them to recent sales records to assess the rationale of the net realizable value determined by management. Moreover, by attending the year-end inventory count, we assess the condition of the inventory to verify the completeness of obsolete goods.

Other Matter

The financial statements of certain subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to such subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The total assets of such subsidiaries amounted to NT$7,959,485 thousand and NT$7,667,995 thousand, which constituted 6.00% and 5.89% of the Group's consolidated total assets, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and the total net operating revenue of such subsidiaries amounted to NT$11,999,669 thousand and NT$9,443,554 thousand, which constituted 6.29% and 5.63% of the Group's consolidated total net operating revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Walsin Lihwa Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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 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 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

  • 24 -

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, 2018 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 Kenny Hong and Ming-Yu Chiu.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Walsin Lihwa Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Walsin Lihwa Corporation (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 (as set out in the Other Matter section of our report), the accompany financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 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 financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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 following are key audit matters of the financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018:

Sales Revenue Recognition

The sales revenue of stainless steel business unit had grown significantly in 2018. The business unit's main products include stainless steel bars and stainless steel cold-and-hot rolled coils. Aside from Taiwan, there are many customers in China, America, Southeast Asia and Europe and the sales are terms vary for different customers. Thus, we consider the reality of export sales revenue of stainless steel business unit as key audit matter. Refer to Note 4 and 20 for related accounting policies of revenue recognition and disclosure information of the revenue recognition. We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. We verified and tested the internal control process of the export sales of stainless steel business unit.

  2. We sampled and inspected the transactions of export sales revenue of stainless steel business unit to confirm its existence.

Inventory Valuation

  • 26 -

As of December 31, 2018, the inventory of the Company amounted to NT$11,285,237 thousand which constituted 9.46% of the total assets, and the amount is material. Refer to Notes 4, 5 and 9 for related accounting policies of inventory and inventory valuation.

The inventory of the Company is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The valuation of the net realizable value required significant judgment and estimation. In addition, the market price of copper and nickel fluctuated frequently, which significantly affects the valuation of wire, cable and specialty steel inventory. As a result, inventory valuation is regarded as key audit matter.

Our audit procedures in response to inventory valuation consisted of obtaining inventory valuation sheets prepared by management, selecting samples of estimated selling prices and tracing them to recent sales records to assess the rationale of the net realizable value determined by management. Moreover, by attending year-end inventory count, we assess the condition of the inventory to verify the completeness of obsolete goods.

Other Matter

The financial statements of certain equity-method investees included in the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to such investments, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The investments in such investees amounted to NT$3,443,078 thousand and NT$2,878,841 thousand, which constituted 2.89% and 2.73% of the total assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and the investment gains amounted to NT$502,129 thousand and NT$502,051 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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.
