Appendix 1
YFY INC.
Business Report
In 2019, global economic activity grew at the slowest annual pace since the 2007 financial crisis. The increase in trade barriers and the uncertainties caused by supply chain transfers had a very negative impact on global business confidence and economic activities. Furthermore, 2019 was also the second hottest year in history. The wildfires in the Amazon rainforest and the forests in the United States and Australia have caused significant economic losses and led to the displacement of tens of thousands of people. In addition to natural disasters, human factors have further aggravated the turmoil: ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, frequent wars in multiple nations, and various bilateral trade wars throughout the year, with no final agreement being reached after confrontations and tariff increases. Then, when everyone was celebrating the end of the tumultuous and disturbing 2019, COVID-19 broke out in Wuhan at the end of the year, inflicting a severe blow on the world, the effects of which continue to this day.
In this difficult environment, the global economic growth rate has fallen from 3.6% in 2018 to 3.0% in 2019. The economic growth rate in Mainland China has fallen from 6.6% to 6.1%, and economic growth in Taiwan has slowed from 2.75% to 2.71% (Note). As for the US, which has enjoyed eye-catching performance in the past few years, their economic growth rate declined from 2.9% to 2.4%. In this macroeconomic environment, YFY continues to support our subsidiaries in their respective fields. Each unit also continues to do its best to thrive in the face of adversity. YFY's consolidated revenue in 2019 was reported at NT$74.76 billion (same currency used below), operating income increased to NT$2.991 billion and income after taxes attributed to the owner increased to NT$2.286 billion. Earnings per share leaped from NT$0.87 per share in 2018 to NT$1.38 in 2019. The net value per share also increased by 10.7% from NT$21.36 to NT$23.64.
YFY Inc. became an investment holding company in 2012. Currently invested companies can be roughly classified into seven business scopes. In addition to the three major business groups of "Containerboard and Packaging", "Pulp and Fine Paper", and "Consumer Products" that YFY has invested in since paper making was its core business in the late 1940s, YFY also invests in "Financial and Venture ", "Technology", "Biotech", and "Chemical and Special
12
Materials". After years of growth and adjustment, the proportion of investment in the four categories excluding the paper industry by YFY and its invested companies is now approaching 50%. YFY will continue to support the innovation and transformation of the three business groups and increase their added value. YFY will also encourage them to introduce the latest technology with each investment, convert residual materials from processes into renewable resources and energy, and promote the maximization of costs and benefits. YFY will also promptly adjust the investment portfolios based on the sustainability, development, and futurity of the reinvestment industry from the most optimal level.
Containerboard and Packaging Business Group: The Yangzhou Plant is strongly pursuing growth and stability. It adjusted its product composition to focus more on high-end products, and finally made a turnaround in the fourth quarter. In Vietnam, there was a strong demand for supply chain transfer, which consequently led to outstanding growth. After eighteen months of effort, construction at the Xinwu Plant was completed, making it the largest biogas power generation facility in Taiwan. It has become a model for renewable energy innovation by proving that the paper industry has the best implementation of a circular economy. The business group was able to improve profitability after three years of physical adjustment and product mix optimization.
Pulp and Fine Paper Business Group: Mainland China was affected by the Sino-US trade war as well as internal adjustments to its economic structure, triggering a calamitous fall in the prices of pulp and paper products worldwide. Wood chip prices responded relatively slowly to these factors, which meant that the terminal price and demand structure also could not undergo quick adjustments, thus causing the performance of the business group did not meet internal expectation. The business group would further strengthened the determination to move towards high value-added paper for food packaging, as well as high value-added special materials in the upstream of the industry.
Consumer Products Business Group: The household paper division has benefited from years of efforts to maintain quality and investment in the brand. Revenues have increased with the falling costs of pulp. Continuing past efforts in the Mayflower brand in the high-end market, a series of humorous online marketing projects have been launched, and collaborations are continuing with downstream retail channels. These efforts have led to strong sales in the new "Hou Bang" series of toilet paper, making it an iconic product in the
13
Taiwanese toilet paper market. The cleaning products of Orange House and Delight have been recognized by consumers for their quality and value and their performances have shown steady growth. In Mainland China, revenues have increased after adjustments to channel strategies. The business group in 2019 has shown significantly profit growth.
Technology Business: After many years of intensive efforts in Japan, the Arizon RFID Technology team of YFY expanded into European markets in 2019. This was accomplished while strictly controlling operating expenses and maintaining a high profitability level. The Arizon RFID Technology team has also received approval at the general shareholder's meeting, and will promote local listings, boost the amount of available capital, expand the scope of operations, and strengthen its competitive advantages. The Electronic Shelf Labels of E Ink Holdings, which is also investing in the development of applications for the Internet of Things, is showing steady growth in its performance as well as its operating profits.
Biotech: TaiGen Biotechnology's new treatment for hepatitis C has completed its second phase of clinical trials, and has received a milestone payment of US$5 million. It is now entering the third phase of clinical trials. The Taigexyn (Nemonoxacin) oral formulation was also successfully included in National Health Insurance. The Taiwan Global Biofund matured in 2019 and entered settlement. YFY Inc. reaped plentiful profits during the investment period. After settlement and recovery of funds, we will continue to pay attention to potential investment targets and support the development of emerging biotechnology industries.
Chemical and Special Materials Business: Shin Foong Specialty and Applied Materials boosted its production capacity in 2019. Supply and demand in the market was rendered unbalanced due to the Sino-US trade war, which resulted in lower terminal demand than expected, but by optimizing the process, costs were reduced, quality was improved, and the gross profit margin and net profit after tax both increased significantly.
Financial and Venture Business: Dividend income from financial-related investments remains stable every year. Among this income, the dividend income from SinoPac Holdings is the highest. The performance of SinoPac Holdings continued to grow in 2019. The shareholder's equity return rate reached a five-year record high, and it will be integrated into the 2020 dividend income of YFY Inc.
14
In addition to the optimization of the investment portfolio, the activation of land assets is also a topic that YFY has continually examined in recent years. The general manager will be instructed to gradually convert land assets into cash flow, depending on the level of development in the area where the land assets are located, in order to obtain the best long-term value for the company and shareholders.
YFY Inc. has progress from the pre-war agricultural trade to the post-war paper industry, and further to the diverse investment portfolio of today. The company has constantly sought innovation, change, and advancement with the times over the past 95 years. However, 2020 will likely be the grimmest year since the end of the Second World War. Although the COVID-19 epidemic will eventually be controlled, there is still great uncertainty concerning how and when. In the face of the unpredictability of 2020, YFY will strictly control business risks, and demonstrate its outstanding vitality and resilience. All employees will work together to face the tremendous fluctuations in supply and demand caused by the epidemic. Furthermore, the company will strive to maintain a balance in the development of employees, communities, and the environment, and will continue to bring long-term stable investment income to all our shareholders.
Note: The statistics for Taiwan's economic growth rate are from the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics, Executive Yuan. The remaining statistics are from the IMF's 2019 figures.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders YFY Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of YFY Inc. 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 Other Matter section), 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. 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, 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.
31
Key audit matters of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:
Estimation of Expected Credit Loss Recognized on Accounts Receivable
The accounts receivable of the Group’s significant components are material in amount. In consideration of transactions with various counterparties, the recoverability of accounts receivable is subject to not only each customer’s financial condition but also management’s estimation and judgment. Therefore, we identified the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable as a key audit matter.
For related policies and relevant information on the estimation of expected credit loss of accounts receivable, refer to Notes 4, 5 and 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The key audit procedures that we performed in respect of the expected credit loss on accounts receivable included the following:
-
We obtained and assessed the reasonableness of the method and the information used by management for the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable.
-
We tested sample items in the aging report on the balance sheet date and verified the correctness of the calculation of the expected credit loss.
-
We analyzed overdue receivables and performed sampling on the collection of overdue receivables after the balance sheet date. We assessed the reasonableness of the expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable based on customers’ historical payment records, credit line control and overdue receivables tracking.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 of Jupiter Prestige Group Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries, Lotus Ecoscings & Engineering Co., Ltd., Fidelis IT Solutions Co., Ltd., YFY Biotech Management Company, Syntax Communication (H.K.) Ltd., Ever Growing Agriculture Biotech Co., Ltd., the subsidiaries of Willpower Industries Ltd., the subsidiaries of Winsong Packaging Investment Company Limited and Livebricks Inc. and the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 of Sustainable Carbohydrate Innovation Co., Ltd., which are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group, but such financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for these subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the assets of these subsidiaries were NT$6,716,882 thousand and NT$6,053,763 thousand, respectively, representing 5.5% and 5.1% of the total consolidated assets. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the net sales of these subsidiaries were NT$6,657,616 thousand and NT$3,431,947 thousand, respectively, representing 8.9% and 4.5% of the consolidated net sales. In addition, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the financial statements of Taiwan Genome Sciences, Inc. and Perpetual Prosperity Printing Technology Co., Ltd., an investment accounted for using the equity method, were audited by other auditors. Thus, our opinion, insofar as it relates to the calculation of the Group’s share in these investees’ profit or loss and other comprehensive income, is based solely on the report of other auditors. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying amounts of these investees were NT$112,618 thousand and NT$158,847 thousand, respectively. These investees’ net profit or loss were included in the Group’s total comprehensive income and loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 which were a loss of NT$36,103 thousand and a gain of NT$4,411 thousand, respectively.
We have also audited the financial statements of YFY Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion, including an Other Matter paragraph, respectively.
32
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 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 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.
33
-
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, 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 Hui-Min Huang and Ching-Pin Shih.

Key audit matters of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:
The Valuation of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method
Under the investments accounted for using the equity method, the financial position and performance of some significant components of the Company will significantly affect the Company. The accounts receivable of significant components of the Company are material in amount. In consideration of transactions with various counterparties, the recoverability of accounts receivable is subject to not only each customer’s financial condition but also management’s estimation and judgment. Therefore, the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable has been identified as a key audit matter.
For related policies and relevant information about investments accounted for using the equity method, refer to Notes 4 and 9 to the accompanying financial statements.
The key audit procedures that we performed in respect of the valuation of investments accounted for using the equity method included the following:
-
We obtained and assessed the reasonableness of the method and the information used by management for the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable.
-
We tested sample items in the aging report on the balance sheet date and verified the correctness of the calculation of the expected credit loss.
-
We analyzed overdue receivables and performed sampling on the collection of overdue receivables after the balance sheet date. We assessed the reasonableness of the expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable based on customers’ historical payment records, credit line control and overdue receivables tracking.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the long-term equity investments of these investee companies were NT$2,498,563 thousand and NT$2,062,364 thousand, respectively, representing 3.9% and 3.4%, respectively, of the Company’s total assets. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the net investment income of these investee companies were NT$417,930 thousand and NT$156,851 thousand, respectively, representing 8.8% and 9.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total comprehensive income and loss.

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.

- 52 -
exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the 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.

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.
