To many countries, local maintenance facilities could not meet the demand, and airliners are looking for cooperation with overseas maintenance facilities. Besides, aircraft that have been grounded for a long time need to undergo a complete structural inspection, so the clients are more cautious in evaluating the capabilities and relevant experience of maintenance facilities. Our company has built good reputation in this field in Asia-Pacific market, and has received positive feedback from the customers who had entrusted us to perform major inspections. In the future, the development of ATR aircraft models will mainly focus in Asia. In 2020, the Company launched market exploring and potential evaluation. Also, during the pandemic (2022), we obtained civil aviation authority licenses from countries such as Taiwan, the U.S., the Cayman Island, Bermuda, South Korea, and Indonesia. This is a significant step in opening up the market and a great help for business promotion. The Japan Civil Aviation Bureau also conducted an audit. We plan to obtain the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau license in the first quarter of 2023. We have also signed maintenance contracts with customers in Japan and South Korea. The short, Medium-term and long-term plans for the market are as follows:

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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
1. Revenue recognition
Please refer to Note 4(n) “Revenue recognition”, Note 5(a) “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and Note 6(t) “Revenue from contracts with customers” to the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Parts of the Company's aircraft maintenance service and aircraft business maintenance management contracts recognize revenue when a performance obligation was satisfied over time. This method calculates the percentage of completion based on the goods and services transferred to the customer. As measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance

obligation involves management's material judgement, we determined that the assessment of revenue recognition was one of the key areas our audit focused on.
How the matter was addressed in our audit procedures:
-
Assessing and testing the effectiveness of the internal control design and execution regarding revenue recognition.
-
Selecting material contracts as samples, inspecting revenue recognition terms and conditions of contracts, testing the material requisition record and employee time record to verify the correctness of actual input and verifying the correctness of the amount of revenue recognized.
-
Performing a retrospective review to comparatively analyze the historical accuracy of judgments with reference to actual revenue in order to assess the rationality of the judgement and assumptions of the current period.
-
Assessing whether the disclosure of revenue recognition was appropriate.
-
Valuation for inventories
Please refer to Note 4(g) “Inventories”, Note 5(b) “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and Note 6(e) “Inventories” to the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The maintenance materials prepared by the Company to meet customer needs may lose their original benefits due to the obsolescence of aircraft models, resulting in a risk wherein the carrying value of inventories may exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, we determined that the assessment of valuation of inventories was one of the key areas our audit focused on.
How the matter was addressed in our audit procedures:
-
Understanding the net realizable value used by management for inventory valuation, as well as sampling and verifying the original transaction vouchers to test the rationality of the net realizable value of inventory.
-
Inspecting the inventory aging report, analyzing the changes of inventory aging, as well as sampling and checking the accuracy of the inventory aging report.

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.
In preparing the 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.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 Standards on Auditing of 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this 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 financial statements of the current period 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 Yen-Ta Su and Kuo-Tsung Chen.
