Attachment 3
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR 20000187
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ALTEK CORPORATION
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ALTEK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
15
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the 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.
Key audit matters for the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
Allowance for inventory valuation losses
Description
Please refer to Note 4(14) 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(6) for the details of inventories. 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 measures inventories sold at the lower of cost and net realisable value. For inventory that is over a certain age and individually identified obsolete or damaged inventory, the Group recognises losses at net realisable value. Aforementioned allowance for inventory valuation losses mainly arises from individually identified obsolete or damaged inventory. Since the value of inventories is significant, involves various types of inventory, and the individual identification of inventory usually involves management judgement which is an area that also needs to be assessed using our judgement during the audit process. Thus, we identified valuation of allowance for inventory losses as one of the key audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Obtained an understanding and assessed the provision policy on inventory valuation losses.
-
B. Obtained the statement of individually identified obsolete inventory prepared by management and checked the accuracy of stock age analysis report and relevant information.
-
C. Checked the accuracy of net realisable value of inventory, assessed the consistency between valuation of market value decline and its provision policy, and assessed the reasonableness of allowance for valuation losses determined by the Group.
16
Timing of sales revenue recognition
Description
Please refer to Note 4(29) for accounting policies of revenue recognition. The Group’s revenue mainly arises from export sales and the cash amounts are material. As the sales terms vary from customers who are located in Mainland China, Europe and America, the terms in customer orders and contracts needs to be properly assessed. Since this involves judgement in the determination of timing of control transfer, we consider the timing of revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Assessed the appropriation of policies on sales revenue recognition.
-
B. Assessed and tested the design of internal controls that are relevant to sales revenue recognition and the effectiveness of execution.
-
C. Performed cut-off test on sales revenue in specific period around balance sheet date.
-
D. Performed confirmation and substantive test on the balance of accounts receivable at the end of period to confirm accounts receivable and that relevant sales revenue have been recorded in the proper 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, 2020 and 2019.
17
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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A. 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.
-
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 Group’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
18
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.
-
E. 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.
-
F. 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.
19
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 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.

Attachment 4
Fund Raising Methods and Handling Principles of Private Placement
I.Amount of shares
It is proposed that the shareholders meeting to authorize the Board of Directors (“Board”), within the limit of 60,000,000 common shares, to raise funds through private placement based on the Company’s needs and market conditions. Afore-mentioned private placement includes single or combo instruments such as issuance of new common shares for cash in private placement ("Private Placement Common Shares") and/or issuance of overseas or domestic convertible bonds in private placement (“Private Placement CB”), and shall be executed by one or two run(s). For issuance of Private Placement CB, the number of common shares to be converted shall be calculated in accordance with the conversion price at the time of issuance and shall be no more than 60,000,000 shares.
II.Issuance of Private Placement Common Shares
-
1.Basis and rationality to determine the issue price:
-
(1) The reference price is set as the higher of the following two calculation methods: (a) the simple average closing price from either 1, 3 or 5 trading days prior to the pricing date; (b) the simple average closing price of 30 trading days prior to the pricing date, minus dividends adjustments, plus price discount due to capital reduction.
-
(2) The issue price shall be no less than 80% of the reference price. It is proposed to authorize the Board to determine the issue price based on the results of negotiation with specific investors and market conditions.
-
(3) The issue price of Private Placement Common Shares will be determined referring to the Company’s share prices and Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities which has set a no-trading period of 3 years on private placement securities. Therefore, determination of the issue price should be considered reasonable.
-
2.The method of determining specific investors, objective, necessity and anticipated benefit: The specific investors shall meet the qualifications regulated in Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act and are limited to strategic investors. Priority will be given to the individual or institutional investors who could benefit the Company's long term development and competitiveness. The Board is fully authorized to determine the specific investors. By leveraging the strategic investor’s capability and experience in technology, knowledge, business, finance or marketing channel, the Company could benefit from technology upgrades, product development, cost reduction, market expansion and ultimately to strengthen the Company’s competitiveness and to enhance its operational efficiency and long term development.
28
-
3.The necessity for issuance of Private Placement Common Shares :
-
Considering the capital market’s effectiveness, feasibility and costs to raise capital, the benefits to maintain long-term relationship with strategic partners and the no-trading period of 3 years by such security issuance of private placement, the Company proposed to raise funds through private placement, rather than public offering.
The private placement will be executed by one or two run(s) according to the results of negotiation with specific investors and market conditions.
-
4.Use of proceeds and the anticipated benefit:
-
(1).Private placement with one run (adding issued Private Placement CB shall be no more than 60,000,000 shares in aggregate):
The proceeds will be used to invest in digital imaging related equipment and technology, expanding market, enriching working capital, repaying borrowings and reinforcing financial structures which will in turn strengthen the company's competitiveness, operating efficiency and boost shareholders’ equity.
- (2).Private placement with two runs
The first run: 10,000,000 ~ 50,000,000 shares (adding issued Private Placement CB shall be no more than 60,000,000 shares in aggregate)
The proceeds will be used to invest in digital imaging related equipment and technology, expanding market, enriching working capital, repaying borrowings and reinforcing financial structures which will in turn strengthen the company's competitiveness, operating efficiency and boost shareholders’ equity.
The second run:10,000,000 ~ 50,000,000 shares (adding issued Private Placement Common Shares and issued Private Placement CB shall be no more than 60,000,000 shares in aggregate)
The proceeds will be used to invest in digital imaging related equipment and technology, expanding market, enriching working capital, repaying borrowings and reinforcing financial structures which will in turn strengthen the company's competitiveness, operating efficiency and boost shareholders’ equity.
- 5.The rights and obligations of Private Placement Common Shares are the same as the issued common shares except for the restriction on transfers specified in Article 43-8 of the Securities and Exchange Act.
III.Issuance of Private Placement CB
-
1.Duration
:No more than seven years. -
2.Rate
:It is proposed to authorize the Board to decide the rate based on market conditions. -
3.Par Value
:NTD 100,000 or its multiple times;USD 10, 000 or its multiple times. -
4.Basis and rationality to determine the issue price:
-
(1)The issue price of Private Placement CB shall not be lower than 80% of the theoretical price which is determined by a pricing model considering all options
29
in the issuance terms.
-
(2)It is proposed to authorize the Board to determine the issue price based on the results of negotiation with specific investors and market conditions.
-
(3)The issue price of the Private Placement CB will be determined referring to the Company’s share prices and Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities which has set a no-trading period of 3 years on private placement securities. Therefore, determination of the issue price should be considered reasonable.
