With China’s acceleration of supply side reform, 65 million tons of capacity has been cut in 2016 and that of 2017 is over 50 million tons and that of medium frequency induction furnace and substandard steel is 140 million tons.

With such effective reduction in production, the steel market has stabilized. However, in China, medium frequency induction furnaces have been converted to electric furnaces and the increase in price has pushed blast furnace mills to increase production, coupled with the strengthening in the industry, there will be many challenges in 2018. Yieh Phui is of the mid-stream of the industry with the major products of metallic coated and prepainted steel sheets for sale all over the world, having been able to control the costs and gain steady profits when confronting the competition from China.

The Summary for Research and Development

Starting from 2007, Yieh Phui has developed the market for coated steel to be used for household appliances and has been recognized by famous appliance producers such as Whirlpool, Fisher &Paykel, SHARP, and Panasonic.

Confronting with fierce market competition, Yieh Phui has been vigorously developing high end quality products for high end market and cooperating with Japanese steel firms to expand in the overseas market. We have seen good results from this collaboration since December 2013 with the volume increasing each month every year, contributing to our earnings and expecting the cumulative

-6-

total sales to reach 120,000 tons landmark in 2017.

On product differentiation, Yieh Phui has successfully developedanti-microbial metallic coated steel sheets – regular spangle, used for the pipes for air-conditioning, and gained recognition by the public construction projects of Hong Kong, such as MRT and hospitals, and those of Macao. Yieh Phui continues to develop other high endprepainted steel sheets and Al-Zn coated steel sheets for inner panels of ovens. The sales have steadily increased in 2016 and expected to expand in the projects of other appliances. In addition, Yieh Phui has finalized the production of Printed Prepainted Steel Sheets (wood & hairline patterns) for special applications in the industry and will deliver those products in 2017, enhancing the market prospect and the diversity of our offers. In 2017, Yieh Phui plans to develop coated steel with anti-microbial plus and anti-fingerprint treatment to be used in ducting and green construction materials in hospitals and luxurious residences, enhancing market expansion and product diversification.

The trend of globalization has triggered the EU to issue the regulation of RoHS and WEEE, which focus on the recycling of electronic appliances, environment friendly production and their re-use. This policy has won the recognition of the whole world and Yieh Phui has developed products compliant with those regulations and earned big and long-term orders of major appliance producers. Later on in 2007 the EU issued REACH, controlling 16 ingredients in the materials, mixtures and products exporting to EU that may cause cancers, deformation and toxicity to the human reproductive system. Up to the end of 2016, there have been 173 such items and they have been put into Yieh Phui’s quality control and auditing system to protect the environment and the health of consumers. In September 2018, EU may have new environmental instructions on construction materials like metallic and color coated steel sheets. The company has been aggressively and speedily developing multi-combination and multi-purpose products with suppliers of surface treatment and paints, becoming the first among Taiwan’s competitors to produce outdoor environmentally protective coated steel products. Yieh Phui will cooperate with the sales channels of the supply chain of dealers and roll formers, making sure that our products will reach the world market seamlessly and in a timely fashion to score another great performance in expansion and sales.

Corporate Strategies for Future Development

The vision of Yieh Phui is to become the best steel maker and service provider in the world. To achieve this goal and with the TPM Campaign reaching the fifth stage, Yieh Phui Production & Service System (YPS) will move forward from the fourth stage of “YPS=TPM+MOT” to the fifth “YPS is excellent, TPM is perfect and MOT is outstanding”. Since 2013,Yieh Phui has started a series of changes to deal with the volatility of the steel market. Thus, 2013 is the very first year of Yieh Phui to start the “campaign for changes”. The slogan for the year is “adapting to the trend of steel market, changing the attitude and eager to change”. The slogan for the second year, 2014, is “change and more changes, better than better.” As the campaign reaches the third year, the slogan becomes there is “Just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions. Change with constantly changing conditions. Changes are normality.” We must

-7-

endeavor to make all necessary adjustments. For the efforts of the past three years, the corporate culture of Yieh Phui has evolved and reached a landmark of being awarded the “Advanced Special Award for TPM Achievement”. The YPS campaign has evolved from “touching service” to “supreme service”. Thus, the campaign for changes has now been turned to innovation and 2016 is the first year of innovation with the slogan “catalyzing creativity through learning and modeling--changing and improving,” short for utilization, learning from others, collaboration and innovation. 2017 is the second year of innovation and the slogan is “keep innovating and expanding product and service differentiation, creating greatest value for customers and Yieh Phui”. 2018 is the third year of innovation with the slogan of “new epoch, new realities, new thinking, and new forms commit to growth not only in volume but value.”

With excellence in production and outstanding services to promote sales and explore potential markets, the company will continue to innovate to offer more differentiation in products, services and marketing, creating the best value for customers and Yieh Phui coupled with enhancing the satisfaction for services and targeting the sales level of individual positions. In addition to satisfying the demand of customers and outstanding services, the company will make every effort to reduce the cost of sales and increase profitability.

In addition to Yieh Phui’s steady growth in Taiwan, since 2015 Yieh Phui (China) has expanded its operation in Changshu Economic Development Zone, Jiangsu, China, producing one million tons of cold-rolled steel sheets for automobiles and 400,000 tons of hot-dip galvannealed steel sheets for automobiles, advancing its technology in the market of steel sheets for automobiles. The first stage of this expansion ofpickling and tandem cold mill (PLTCM) had been finished and started production on February 15, 2015, while the production ofcontinuous annealing line (CAL) was done on August 15, 2015, No. 3 continuous coil coating line on February 21, 2017, and No. 4 continuous hot-dip galvanizing line has been available on January 18, 2018. Besides aiming for the 700,000 car market in Riverside Industrial Park, Changshu, Yieh Phui (China) also focuses on the market of cars and car parts around the world. China is a member of ASEAN and its steel enjoys preferential tariff treatment. As a result, the steel products in China are more competitive than those produced in Taiwan for the sale in ASEAN. Then, the production of coated steel sheets in Yieh Phui (China) will reach 1.3 million tons, equivalent to Yieh Phui’s once highest record of 1.3 million tons in Taiwan. For the combined eight production lines of hot-dip galvanizing lines in Taiwan and China, the capacity will reach 2.6 million tons.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd.

Auditors’ Opinions

We have audited the Consolidated Balance Sheet of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as Yieh Phui Group) as of 31 December 2017 and 2016, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (including Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2017 and 2016.

In our opinion, based on our audits and other auditors’ reports (please refer to other paragraphs), the afore-mentioned Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Yieh Phui Group as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2017 and 2016 in conformity with 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) to the extent endorsed and effected by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for Opinion

We planned and conducted our audits in accordance with Rules Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibility under the above mentioned regulations will be further explained in the section titled "Accountant's Responsibility in Auditing the Consolidated Financial Statements". We have stayed independent from Yieh Phui Group as required by The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled other responsibilities as stipulated by the norm. Based on our audits and other auditors’ reports, we believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key Audit Matters refer to most vital matters in the process of auditing of 2017 Consolidated Financial Statement of Yieh Phui Group based on our professional judgment. Such matters have been dealt with in the course of of auditing and compiling the Consolidated

-9-

Financial Statements and in the preparation of our audit opinion. As such, we do not respond to each key matter individually. Key Audit Matters for the Yieh Phui Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 are stated as follows:

  • I. Timing of Sales Revenue Recognition

Please see Note 4(29) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for accounting policies regarding revenue recognition; please see note 5(2)1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for critical accounting estimates and assumptions regarding revenue recognition; please see note 6(31) of the Consolidated Financial Statement for details regarding revenue recognition. Description of key audit matters:

The timing of sales revenue recognition has to do with confirming the time of transfer of ownership and risk to the customer. Since the sales conditions for each major customer may differ, Yieh Phui Group determines whether to transfer the ownership and risk of goods sold to the customer according to the trading conditions of each order. As the timing of recognizing the sales revenue may have a major impact on Yieh Phui Group's financial performance, we have thus included it as one of the key audit matters.

-10-

Audit Process Adopted:

Our audit process included understanding and testing the effectiveness of the design and execution of internal control over the timing of sales revenue recognition; sampling and testing the trading terms between the Company and its major customers, and performing deadline test to determine the appropriateness of revenue recognition timing.

II. Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Note 4(13) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for accounting policies regarding inventory valuation; please refer to Note 5(2)5. of the Consolidated Financial Statements for critical accounting estimates and assumptions regarding inventory valuation and Note 6(7) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for details of inventory valuation. Description of key audit matters:

Yieh Phui Group's inventory amounted to NT$ 9,993,445 thousand (net of NT$ 10,353,869 thousand of total inventory costs less NT$ 360,424 thousand of allowance for inventory valuation losses) as of 31 December 2017, which accounted for 11.46% of total assets. The inventory valuation is measured at the lower of the value of inventory cost and net realizable value. Given that the valuation of net realizable value of inventory has a significant impact on critical judgments and estimates and since inventory valuation is dependent on the influence of frequently volatile fluctuations of international metal price, we have thus included this item in the key audit matters.

Audit Process Adopted:

Our major audit process included obtaining management’s assessment information which determines the lower of the value of inventory cost and net realizable value of inventory, sampling estimated selling prices to the most recent sales records, and assessing the appropriateness of management's basis for estimating the net realizable value.

Other Matters

We do not audit the financial statements of some associates that have been included in the afore-mentioned Consolidated Financial Statements. They were audited by other auditors. Therefore, any value of such financial statements we have used to form our opinion for the afore-mentioned Consolidated Financial Statements are based on other auditors’ reports. The value of investments in the afore-mentioned associates recognized under the equity method as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 were NT$ 5,394,163 thousand and NT$ 5,358,441 thousand respectively, accounting for 6.18% and 6.53% of total assets. The share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures recognized under equity method in 2017 and 2016 were NT$ 82,282 thousand and NT$ 146,399 thousand respectively, accounting for 4.56% and 4.34% of income before tax.

-11-

Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. has prepared its Parent Only Financial Statements, on which we have issued an unqualified audit report for reference.

Responsibility of the management and the governing body for the Consolidated Financial Statements

It is the management’s responsibility to fairly present the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with 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) to the extent endorsed and effected by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and to sustain internal controls respecting preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements so as to avoid material misstatements due to fraud or errors therein.

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the responsibility of management includes assessing Yieh Phui Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing going concern matters, as well as adopting going concern accounting, unless the management intends to liquidate Yieh Phui Group or terminate the business, or no practicable measure other than liquidation or termination of the business can be taken.

The governing bodies of Yieh Phui Group (including the Audit Committee) have the responsibility to oversee the financial reporting process. The Accountants’ Responsibility in Auditing the Consolidated Financial Statements

-12-

The purpose of our audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole contains no material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. "Reasonable assurance" refers to a high level of assurance. Nevertheless, our audit, which was carried out according to GAAS, does not guarantee that a material misstatement(s) will be detected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. There may still be material misstatements due to fraud or errors. If it could have been reasonably anticipated that misstated amounts, individually or in aggregate, could have influenced the economic decisions made by the users of the Consolidated Financial Statements, it will be deemed as material.

We have exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism while abiding by GAAS in our audit. The following tasks have also been performed:

  1. Identified and evaluated the risk of a material misstatement(s) due to fraud or errors in the Consolidated Financial Statements; designed and carried out appropriate countermeasures for the assessed risks; and obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for the audit report. As fraud may involve collusion, forgery, deliberate omissions, false statements, or violations of internal controls, the risk of an undetected material misstatement due to fraud is greater than that due to errors.

  2. Acquired necessary understanding of internal controls pertaining to the audit so as to provide appropriate audit procedures under such circumstances. Nevertheless, the purpose of such an understanding is not to provide any opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls of Yieh Phui Group.

  3. Evaluated the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by management and the rationality of the accounting estimates and the relevant disclosures.

  4. Concluded on the appropriateness of the management’s use of going concern basis of accounting, and determined whether there existed events or circumstances that might cast significant uncertainty over Yieh Phui Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we believe there may be factors causing significant uncertainties, we are required to remind the users of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our audit report of the relevant disclosures therein, or to amend our report if inappropriate disclosure was made. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence obtained as of the date of the audit report. However, future events or circumstances may cause Yieh Phui Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements (including the related notes), and determined whether the Consolidated Financial Statements present related transactions and events fairly.

  6. Obtained adequate and appropriate audit evidence regarding financial information of

-13-

members of the Group so as to express opinions for the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and execution of auditing the Group, and for formation of an audit opinion.

Communications between us and the company’s governing body take account of the scope and timing of the planned audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in the internal controls during the audit process.

We have also provided the governing body with our statement of independence in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and communicated with the governing body all relationships and other matters that may be deemed to have an influence on our independence (including safeguard measures).

-14-

From the matters communicated with the governing body, we determined the key audit matters for Yieh Phui Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended in December 31, 2017. Such matters have been explicitly stated in our audit report, unless laws or regulations prevent their disclosures, or, in extremely rare cases, we decide not to communicate such matters in our audit report in consideration that the reasonably anticipated adverse impacts of such communication would be greater than the public interest it would promote.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd.

Auditors’ Opinions

We have audited the Standalone Balance Sheet of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. as of 31 December 2017 and 2016, the Standalone Statements of Comprehensive Income, Standalone Statements of Changes in Equity, Standalone Statements of Cash Flows, and Notes to Standalone Financial Statements (including Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2017 and 2016.

In our opinion, based on our audits and other auditors’ reports (please refer to other paragraphs), the afore-mentioned Standalone Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the standalone financial position of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its standalone financial performance and standalone cash flows for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2017 and 2016 in conformity with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We planned and conducted our audits in accordance with Rules Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibility under the above mentioned regulations will be further explained in the section titled "Accountant's Responsibility in Auditing the Standalone Financial Statements". We have stayed independent from Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. as required by The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled other responsibilities as stipulated by the norm. Based on our audits and other auditors’ reports, we believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key Audit Matters refer to most vital matters in the process of auditing of 2017 Standalone Financial Statement of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. based on our professional judgment. Such matters have been dealt with in the course of of auditing and compiling the Standalone Financial

-21-

Statements and in the preparation of our audit opinion. As such, we do not respond to each key matter individually. Key Audit Matters for the Standalone Financial Statements of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2017 are stated as follows: Timing of Sales Revenue Recognition

Please see Note 4(25) of the Standalone Financial Statements for accounting policies regarding revenue recognition; please see note 5(2)1 of the Standalone Financial Statements for critical accounting estimates and assumptions regarding revenue recognition; please see note 6(26) of the Standalone Financial Statement for details regarding revenue recognition.

-22-

Description of key audit matters:

The timing of sales revenue recognition has to do with confirming the time of transfer of ownership and risk to the customer. Since the sales conditions for each major customer may differ, Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. determines whether to transfer the ownership and risk of goods sold to the customer according to the trading conditions of each order. As the timing of recognizing the sales revenue may have a major impact on the financial performance of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd., we have thus included it as one of the key audit matters. Audit Process Adopted:

Our audit process included understanding and testing the effectiveness of the design and execution of internal control over the timing of sales revenue recognition; sampling and testing the trading terms between the Company and its major customers, and performing cut off test to determine the appropriateness of revenue recognition timing. II. Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Note 4(12) of the Standalone Financial Statements for accounting policies regarding inventory valuation; please refer to Note 5(2)5. of the Standalone Financial Statements for critical accounting estimates and assumptions regarding inventory valuation and Note 6(7) of the Standalone Financial Statements for details of inventory valuation. Description of key audit matters:

Inventory of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. amounted to NT$ 4,145,137 thousand (net of NT$ 4,146,681 thousand of total inventory costs less NT$ 1,544 thousand of allowance for inventory valuation losses) as of 31 December 2017, which accounted for 8.14% of total assets. The inventory valuation is measured at the lower of the value of inventory cost and net realizable value. Given that the valuation of net realizable value of inventory has a significant impact on critical judgments and estimates and since inventory valuation is dependent on the influence of frequently volatile fluctuations of international metal price, we have thus included this item in the key audit matters.

Audit Process Adopted:

Our major audit process included obtaining management’s assessment information which determines the lower of the value of inventory cost and net realizable value of inventory, sampling estimated selling prices to the most recent sales records, and assessing the appropriateness of management's basis for estimating the net realizable value.

Other Matters

We do not audit the financial statements of some associates that have been included in the afore-mentioned Standalone Financial Statements. They were audited by other auditors. Therefore, any value of such financial statements we have used to form our opinion for the afore-

-23-

mentioned Standalone Financial Statements are based on other auditors’ reports. The value of investments in the afore-mentioned associates recognized under the equity method as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 were NT$ 5,248,378 thousand and NT$ 4,422,752 thousand respectively, accounting for 10.30% and 9.17% of total assets. The share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures recognized under equity method in 2017 and 2016 were NT$ 86,232 thousand and NT$ 123,277 thousand respectively, accounting for 5.16% and 4.09% of income before tax.

Responsibility of the management and the governing body for the Standalone Financial Statements

It is the management’s responsibility to fairly present the Standalone Financial Statements in conformity with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and to sustain internal controls respecting preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements so as to avoid material misstatements due to fraud or errors therein.

-24-

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the responsibility of management includes assessing the ability of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. to continue as a going concern, disclosing going concern matters, as well as adopting going concern accounting, unless the management intends to liquidate Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. or terminate the business, or no practicable measure other than liquidation or termination of the business can be taken.

The governing bodies of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. (including the Audit Committee) have the responsibility to oversee the financial reporting process.

The Accountants’ Responsibility in Auditing the Standalone Financial Statements

The purpose of our audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole contains no material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. "Reasonable assurance" refers to a high level of assurance. Nevertheless, our audit, which was carried out according to GAAS, does not guarantee that a material misstatement(s) will be detected in the Standalone Financial Statements. There may still be material misstatements due to fraud or errors. If it could have been reasonably anticipated that misstated amounts, individually or in aggregate, could have influenced the economic decisions made by the users of the Standalone Financial Statements, it would be deemed as material.

We have exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism while abiding by GAAS in our audit. The following tasks have also been performed:

  1. Identified and evaluated the risk of a material misstatement(s) due to fraud or errors in the Standalone Financial Statements; designed and carried out appropriate countermeasures for the assessed risks; and obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for the audit report. As fraud may involve collusion, forgery, deliberate omissions, false statements, or violations of internal controls, the risk of an undetected material misstatement due to fraud is greater than that due to errors.

  2. Acquired necessary understanding of internal controls pertaining to the audit so as to provide appropriate audit procedures under such circumstances. Nevertheless, the purpose of such an understanding is not to provide any opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd..

  3. Evaluated the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by management and the rationality of the accounting estimates and the relevant disclosures.

  4. Concluded on the appropriateness of the management’s use of going concern basis of accounting, and determined whether there existed events or circumstances that might cast significant uncertainty over the ability of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. to continue as a going

-25-

concern. If we believe there may be factors causing significant uncertainties, we are required to remind the users of the Standalone Financial Statements in our audit report of the relevant disclosures therein, or to amend our report if inappropriate disclosure was made. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence obtained as of the date of the audit report. However, future events or circumstances may cause Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.

  1. Evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements (including the related notes), and determined whether the Standalone Financial Statements present related transactions and events fairly.

  2. Obtained adequate and appropriate audit evidence regarding financial information of entities within the Company so as to express opinions for the Standalone Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and execution of auditing Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd., and for formation of an audit opinion.

  3. Communications between us and the Company’s governing body take account of the scope

  4. and timing of the planned audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in the internal controls during the audit process.

-26-

We have also provided the governing body with our statement of independence in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and communicated with the governing body all relationships and other matters that may be deemed to have an influence on our independence (including safeguard measures).

From the matters communicated with the governing body, we determined the key audit matters for Standalone Financial Statements of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. for the year ended in December 31, 2017. Such matters have been explicitly stated in our audit report, unless laws or regulations prevent their disclosures, or, in extremely rare cases, we decide not to communicate such matters in our audit report in consideration that the reasonably anticipated adverse impacts of such communication would be greater than the public interest it would promote.
