Attachment I
Business Report of 2018
Amidst fierce global competition, the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (hereinafter referred to as AIDC) has confronted significant challenges which have included; advanced countries adopting intelligent manufacturing with high production efficiency and tax preference to win back customers; emerging countries forming low‐cost clusters with government resources to attain business opportunities; international companies demanding quality, efficiency and cost‐benefit, coupled with raising trade protectionism from the US‐China trade disputes. To survive this stringent environment, AIDC has continued its proactive pursuit of business opportunities. Again, with a concerted effort between employees and management, AIDC had successfully overcome all the difficulties and has hit a new record high in both revenue and profit in FY 2018.
Based on Boeing’s forecasts of the commercial aviation market for the next 20 years, the Revenue Passenger Kilometer (RPK) will enjoy a 4.7% average annual growth, demand for airplanes with more than 30 seats is estimated at 42,700, representing a total market value of approximately $6.3 trillion U.S. dollars. In response to the thriving requirement for point‐to‐point route, single‐aisle aircraft is the mainstream model which accounts for more than 70% of the demand.
The Global Market Forecast released by Airbus also provides an optimistic outlook for the next 20 years. It is estimated that the RPK will have a 4.4% average annual growth, demand for new airplane with more than 100 seats is 37,400, representing a total market value of approximately $5.8 trillion U.S. dollars. Asia‐Pacific is expected to lead the demand with 40% new aircraft deliveries, followed by North America and Europe.
As for the aero engine market, Forecast International’s forecast indicates that for the next 10 years there will be 156,000 deliveries, with a total value of $898 billion U.S. dollars.
The above reflects a strong market demand for commercial aircraft and engines, accordingly AIDC is planning to; construct the Turbine Center Frame, enhance talent cultivation and technology development, participate in international events such as Farnborough Air Show, Taipei Aerospace & Defense Technology Exhibition; and Aircraft Interiors Expo Hamburg to present our self‐developed aircraft seat, in the hope of responding prudently to the market opportunities and challenges alike.
For the current stage and in addition to exploring additional commercial aircraft business, AIDC is dedicated to fulfilling all our contractual obligations to current customers, achieving the objective of F‐ 16A/B upgrade, and shall continue to focus on three primary tasks; “Indigenous Development of an Advanced Jet Trainer”, “Intelligent Manufacturing” and “Supply Chain Integration”.
Firstly, to achieve the “indigenous development of an advanced jet trainer”, AIDC is making every effort to achieve the objectives including cultivate aerospace talents, lead industry development; and consolidate self‐sustaining national defense. For mid‐ and long‐term, the focus will be upon developing primary trainer, pursuing advanced trainer commercial maintenance, joining NCSIST and private sectors to push forward future performance upgrade of the Advanced Jet Trainer and ultimately developing new‐generation fighter.
Secondly, intelligent manufacturing plays an essential role in the global aerospace industry development. AIDC applies its years of experience in digitalization as a base, to plan for intelligent manufacturing from three perspectives, namely; “intelligent machinery, intelligent manufacturing and intelligent management”, and has developed its own iAIDC platform to introduce intelligent production
- 7 -
with focus on “intelligent machinery and production process” and “intelligent manufacturing and management “. In 2018 in recognition of AIDC’s continued implementation of lean production, digitalization manufacturing and intelligent management, AIDC was presented by the Industrial Bureau of Ministry of Economic Affairs an “Intelligent Machinery Model Enterprise Gold Award”. For mid‐ and long‐term efforts, AIDC will continue to work toward intelligent plant and upgrade of its industrial competitiveness.
Thirdly, integration of Taiwan’s supply chain is a continuing effort in leading domestic aerospace and related industry members to lean transformation, expediting intelligent manufacturing and supply chain integration, jointly enhancing competitiveness, and creating a mature “Taiwan aerospace industry intelligent supply chain”. And to promote intelligent industry chain, AIDC shares its self‐developed intelligent management system with domestic supply chain members, and offers free access to the iAIDC system, to execute shop floor intelligent management and to improve the value of the domestic supply chain.
Evidenced by the above, AIDC’s intelligent development is recognized by international companies such as; Airbus, Rolls‐Royce, GE, Honeywell, to name a few, which have given high recognition of AIDC’s effort in promoting intelligent manufacturing, which is capable of quickly eliminating production bottlenecks, flexibly adjusting production priorities, reducing work force for repetitive and polluting work environments, and enhancing quality precision. Rolls‐Royce while holding its Digital Transformation Forum on July 6, 2017, invited AIDC to make a presentation. Being the sole Asian supplier being invited, AIDC gave a report on ”iAIDC Digital Manufacturing/Intelligent Plant Promotion”.
I would like to express our most sincere appreciation and gratitude to all our valued shareholders for your unwavering support of AIDC. The summary of the report on the operation results for FY 2018 and the business plan for FY 2019 are presented hereunder.
FY 2018 Operation Highlights
Revenue and Income
AIDC had consolidated revenue of NT$28,182,100 thousand in FY 2018, which was an increase of 2.3% from NT$27,537,410 thousand in FY 2017; net income was NT$2,092,020 thousand in FY 2018, which was an increase of 19.7% from NT$1,747,980 thousand in FY 2017; and earnings per share was NT$2.22 in FY 2018, which was an increase of 19.4% comparing with NT$1.86 in FY 2017.
The cost of aviation products are closely related to factors of production scale, learning curve efficiency and product portfolio. As the product in the low rate initial production phase the benefits of the learning curve is not observed, yet cost will be reduced as the production rate climbs and establishes a plateau. The ratio of early production commercial products was comparatively high with an increase in nonrecurring costs, therefore in FY 2018 the operating profit margin was 8%, and net profit margin was 7%.
Research and Development Outlook
The R&D expenses of AIDC in FY 2018 amounted to NT$545,217 thousand with the development of "Pilot Project for Aerospace Composites and Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Innovation" together with 25 projects, results of which could help to upgrade the overall technological capability and production capacity while facilitating the pursuit of better business opportunities.

Corporate Management Policy
In response to the increasingly harsh competition within the global aerospace industry, AIDC will spare no effort to secure and pursue beneficial business opportunities and will continue to adopt a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a management tool. This BSC system helps to align and link AIDC’s vision, strategy, and objectives with major tasks and plans of each department, and with which AIDC is able to continue to improve its business management while implementing a culture of accountability.
The corporate business management policy of FY 2019 is to be formulated from the top down, and deployed from the bottom up and with confirmation. That is, the policy will be formulated through management team discussions, which encompasses three parts in the following order: (1) strategies (or directions); (2) objective of each strategy; and (3) major Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of each strategy objective. Together with the “SPEED Transformation Year” launched in 2019, this policy will be clearly illustrated and announced through corporate‐level meetings for each department to deploy and develop its implementation plan accordingly as well as propose its action plans to reach KPIs from the bottom up. These tasks will be demonstrated in 87 action plans for Speed Transformation and 145 improvement proposals for lean production and will be confirmed by the management team before being included in department performance evaluation system in FY 2019. In the meantime, coordination with interfacing departments is essential in planning, and based on the "accountability" concept a clear division of work and responsibility will be established and carried through to achieve the desired results.

Attachment IV
- 15 -
Impairment loss of inventory
The Group assesses impairment of raw materials based on individual identification. The assessment of impairment loss of the raw materials involves the use of the management's critical judgment and, hence, the assessment is considered as a key audit matter. The Group assesses the impairment loss of the raw materials based on current market conditions and future consumption in accordance with IAS 2. Refer to Notes 5 and 10 to the financial statements for the relevant accounting policy, accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties, and other information. Our key audit procedures performed in regard to the impairment assessment include the following:
-
We tested the inventory aging report for completeness and accuracy.
-
We inquired and assessed the reasons for inventories aged over one year but have not provided allowance for impairment.
-
We test checked the net realizable value of inventory, and we evaluated the reasonableness of the allowance for impairment loss.
-
We observed the physical count of inventory at year end and we test-checked actual quantity counted on tags. We also noted those which appeared to be obsolete or slow-moving items and traced them to the Company’s impairment assessment worksheet.
Warranties
The Group provides warranties for military product maintenance, and the percentage of certain provisions involve management's critical judgment; hence, we consider provision for warranties as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 5 and 19 for the relevant accounting policy, accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties, and other information. Our key audit procedures performed in regard to the provisions for warranties include the following:
-
We obtained the documents based on the management’s decision on the provision rate and we evaluated the reasonableness of the rates compared with rates in the past periods.
-
We recalculated the amount of provision.
-
We evaluated the reasonableness of the provision against the actual usage of warranties.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on which we have issued an unqualified 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 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.
- 16 -
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 members of 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.
-
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.
-
17 -
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 Lie-Dong Wu and Done-Yuin Tseng.

Impairment loss of inventory
The Company assesses impairment of raw materials based on individual identification. The assessment of impairment loss of the raw materials involves the use of the management's critical judgment, and, hence, the assessment is considered as a key audit matter. The Company assesses the impairment loss of the raw materials based on current market conditions and future consumption in accordance with IAS 2. Refer to Notes 5 and 10 to the financial statements for the relevant accounting policy, accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties, and other information. Our key audit procedures performed in regard to the impairment assessment include the following:
-
We tested the inventory aging report for completeness and accuracy.
-
We inquired and assessed the reasons for inventories aged over one year but have not provided allowance for impairment.
-
We test checked the net realizable value of inventory, and we evaluated the reasonableness of the allowance for impairment loss.
-
We observed the physical count of inventory at year end and we test checked actual quantity counted on tags. We also noted those which appeared to be as obsolete or slow-moving items and traced them to the Company’s impairment assessment worksheet.
Warranties
The Company provides warranties for military product maintenance, and the percentage of certain provisions involve management's critical judgment: hence, we consider provision for warranties as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 5 and 18 for the relevant accounting policy, accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties, and other information. Our key audit procedures performed in regard to the provisions for warranties include the following:
-
We obtained the documents based on the management’s decision on the provision rate and we evaluated the reasonableness of the rates compared with rates in the past periods.
-
We recalculated the amount of provision.
-
We evaluated the reasonableness of the provision against the actual usage of warranties.
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 members of the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
- 26 -
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 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 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 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 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.
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.
- 27 -
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, 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 Lie-Dong Wu and Done-Yuin Tseng.
