REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR17000378
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Ability Enterprise Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ability Enterprise Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion
-12-
thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Assessment of inventory valuation
Description
Refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on inventory valuation, and Note 6(6) for details of inventory. As of December 31, 2017, the balances of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation loss were NT$1,744,310 thousand and NT$242,916 thousand, respectively.
The Group is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sales of digital camera, optical products and other related parts and components. As technology changes rapidly, the life cycles of electronic products are short, and prices are easily influenced by fluctuation in market price, there is higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or obsolescence. For regular inventories, the Company recognises inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value; for inventories which were separately identified as obsolete and damaged, the Company recognises loss through net realisable value; for inventories age over a certain period, the Company recognises loss for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. An allowance for inventory valuation loss mainly arise from inventories aged over a certain period and separately identified obsolete inventory. As the amount of inventory is material, inventory items are numerous, and the net realisable value of obsolete and damaged inventories is subject to management judgement, we consider the assessment of the allowance for inventory valuation loss a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Ascertained whether the policies on allowance for inventory valuation losses were reasonable and consistently applied in all the periods.
-
Checked the appropriateness of the logic of inventory aging report system which was used by management to ensure whether the inventories age over a certain period had been included in the report.
-
Obtained an understanding on the classification rules of aging range in the inventory aging report. Sample tested inventories in order to confirm whether the aging of inventories was classified appropriately.
-
Discussed with management the estimated net realisable value of separately identified obsolete and damaged inventories, obtained and corroborated against supporting documents and
-13-
recalculated the allowance provision.
Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment
Description
Refer to Note 4(14) for accounting policies on property, plant and equipment, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on property, plant and equipment impairment, and Note 6(9) for details of property, plant and equipment. As of December 31, 2017, the balance of property, plant and equipment was NT$3,989,763 thousand.
The Group has purchased molds and machinery equipment to manufacture digital camera, optical products and other related parts and components. Due to the changes in market demand and the enhancement of smartphone function, the retirement rate for certain products would accelerate which would result to the decrease in the future cash flow and recoverable amount. As the amount of property, plant and equipment is material, and the assumptions used for impairment assessment are complex, easily affected by market fluctuation, and subject to management judgment, we consider the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment:
-
Assessed the appropriateness of property, plant and equipment impairment calculation logic to check whether the calculation was appropriate.
-
Checked the reasonableness of assumptions used with respect to revenue growth rate and discount rate to ensure whether those were consistent with economic and industry forecasts.
Other matter – Scope of the audit
We did not audit the financial statements of a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary and investments accounted for using equity method that are included in the financial statements, which statements reflect total assets (including investments accounted for using equity method) of NT$4,020 thousand and NT$3,066 thousand, constituting 0.03% and 0.02% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and the related share of profit (loss) of association and joint ventures accounted for under equity method was NT$954 thousand and (NT$2,817) thousand, constituting 0.21% and 1.70% of consolidated total comprehensive income (loss) for the years then ended,
-14-
respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Ability Enterprise Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries as at and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 ROC GAAS will always detect a material
-15-
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 ROC GAAS, 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 auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the 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.
-16-
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 of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Ability Enterprise Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ability Enterprise Co., Ltd. (the Company) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
-25-
Assessment of inventory valuation
Description
Refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on inventory valuation, and Note 6(6) for details of inventory. As of December 31, 2017, the balances of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation loss were NT$2,932 thousand and NT$907 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the balances of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation loss in the consolidated financial statements were NT$1,744,310 thousand and NT$242,916 thousand, respectively.
The Company is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sales of digital camera, optical products and other related parts and components from subsidiaries. As technology changes rapidly, the life cycles of electronic products are short, and prices are easily influenced by fluctuations in market price, there is higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or obsolescence. For regular inventories, the Company recognises inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value; for inventories which were separately identified as obsolete and damaged, the Company recognises loss to reduce cost to net realisable value; for inventories age over a certain period, the Company recognises loss for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. An allowance for inventory valuation loss mainly arises from inventories aged over a certain period and separately identified obsolete inventory. As the amount of inventory is material, inventory items are numerous, and the net realisable value of obsolete and damaged inventories is subject to management judgement, we consider the assessment of the allowance for inventory valuation loss a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
-
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Ascertained whether the policies on allowance for inventory valuation losses are reasonable and consistently applied in all the periods.
-
Checked the appropriateness of the logic of inventory aging report system which was used by management to ensure whether the inventories age over a certain period had been included in the report.
-
Obtained an understanding on the classification rules of aging range in the inventory aging report. Sample tested inventories in order to confirm whether the aging of inventories was classified appropriately.
-26-
- Discussed with management the estimated net realisable value of separately identified obsolete and damaged inventories, obtained and corroborated against supporting documents and recalculated the allowance provision.
Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment
Description
Refer to Note 4(13) for accounting policies on property, plant and equipment, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on property, plant and equipment impairment, and Note 6(8), Note 6(9) for details of property, plant and equipment. As of December 31, 2017, the balance of property, plant and equipment was NT$2,756,242 thousand. As of December 31, 2017, the balance of property, plant and equipment in the consolidated financial statements was NT$3,989,763 thousand.
The Company has purchased molds and machinery equipment to manufacture digital camera, optical products and other related parts and components. Due to the changes in market demand and the enhancement of smartphone function, the lifespan of consumer electronic products is getting shorter which would result to a decrease in the future cash flows and recoverable amount. As the amount of property, plant and equipment is material, and the assumptions used for impairment assessment are complex, easily affected by market fluctuation, and subject to management judgment, we consider the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment:
-
Assessed the appropriateness of property, plant and equipment impairment calculation logic to check whether the calculation was appropriate.
-
Checked the reasonableness of assumptions used with respect to revenue growth rate and discount rate to ensure whether those were consistent with economic and industry forecasts.
Other matter – Scope of the audit
We did not audit the financial statements of a wholly-owned subsidiary and investments accounted for using equity method that are included in the financial statements, which statements reflect total assets
-27-
(including investments accounted for using equity method) of NT$4,020 thousand and NT$3,066 thousand, constituting 0.03% and 0.02% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method was NT$954 thousand and (NT$2,817) thousand, constituting 0.21% and 2.14% of consolidated total comprehensive income (loss) for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.
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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 ROC GAAS 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.
-28-
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A. 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.
-
B. 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.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. 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 auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. 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.
-
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the 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.
-29-
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 auditor’s 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.
