Altek Corporation
2016 Business Report
With the support of all shareholders and colleagues, the Company has been actively transformed into a digital imaging solution provider. In the year of 2016, the solutions including digital image processing chip, dual lens camera module, and image processing technology licensing continued penetrating several international smart phone supply chain successfully; also, new wearable image products continued to appear in market. However, due to the shortage of key components as a result of the earthquake in Japan and the delay of launching new products by the customers, the Company’s consolidated revenue amounted to NT$11.58 billion in 2016, representing a decrease of approximately 7.3% from the previous year; furthermore, the consolidated gross profit rate was 13%, the net income was NT$53.8 million, and the earnings per share was NT$0.2.
Due to the broad application of the digital image, the Company has applied the digital image technology that was developed through years of efforts to provide customers with image chips, camera modules, image processing technology licensing, wearable image products, and other digital imaging solutions. Since the mobile phone with dual camera design has become one of the trends, more mid- and high-end mobile phones are expected to be adopted that is expected to help increase the market penetration rate of the dual-camera mobile phone. If there is no significant change in the market, the growth of the wearable image product can also be expected. In the prospect, the use of image technology in the fields of 3D sensing, virtual reality, depth learning, artificial intelligence, and driverless car will become more vigorous and play a key role. The Company will continue to invest more research and development resources in the image technology in order to develop more market-oriented products and to grasp this opportunity for growth.
In the prospect of this year, while facing the rapid changes in new technologies, new materials, and new technologies, all Altek colleagues still need to overcome the
9
possible challenges in the business environments, continue to deepen the core technology of digital image, enhance product added value, provide customers with total solutions and services, and continuously improve the market share and influence in the field of digital image, as well as continuing to strengthen the aspects of system, procedure, and production in order to enhance the overall competitiveness, growth, and profitability. The Company’s management team and employees will continue to be dedicated to pursuing the best interests of all shareholders with the business philosophy of precision, promptness, innovation, quality, cost, flexibility and efficiency. We would like to thank our shareholders for your continuing supports and encouragement to the Company.

Attachment 3
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR 16000168 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars) To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Altek Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Altek Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparations 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
~1~
12
context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Allowance for inventory valuation losses
Description
Please refer to Note 4(11) for description of accounting policy on inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 6(4) for description of allowance for inventory valuation losses.
The Group is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of digital image application products. As the Group is in a rapidly changing industry and the short life cycle of electronic products and the highly competitive nature of the market, there is a higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or having obsolete inventory. The Group measuring inventories sold at the lower of cost and net realisable value. For inventory that is over certain age and individually identified obsolete or ruined inventory, recognising losses at net realisable value. Aforementioned allowance for inventory valuation losses mainly arising from individually identified obsolete or ruined inventory, since the value of inventories is significant, inventory kinds is various, and the individual identification of inventory usually involves human judgment which belongs to the area that needs to be judged in the audit process. Thus, we identified valuation of allowance for inventory losses as one of key audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Understanding and assessing the provision policy on inventory valuation losses.
-
B. Obtaining the statement of individually identified obsolete inventory prepared by management and checking the accuracy of stock age analysis report and relevant information.
-
C. Checking the reasonableness of net realisable value of inventory to assess the consistency between valuation of market value decline and its provision policy, and assessing the reasonableness of allowance for valuation losses determined by the Group.
~2~
13
Timing of sales revenue recognition
Description
Please refer to Note 4(25) for accounting policies of revenue recognition. The Company and its subsidiaries’ revenue mainly arises from export and the cash amounts are material. As the sales terms vary from customers who located around Mainland China, Europe and America, the terms in customer orders and contracts are essential to be judged. As it involves judgement and identification of ownership transfer timing of risk and compensation, we consider the timing of revenue recognition a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Assessing the appropriation of policies on sales revenue recognition.
-
B. Assessing and testing the design of internal controls that are relevant to sales revenue recognition and the effectiveness of execution.
-
C. Performing cutoff test on sales revenue in specific period around balance sheet date.
-
D. Performing confirmation and substantive test on the balance of accounts receivable at the end of period to confirm accounts receivable and relevant sales revenue have been recorded in accurate period.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Altek Corporation as at and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
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 Preparations 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.
~3~
14
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 supervisors, 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 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.
~4~
15
-
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.
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.
~5~
16
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.
