Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors, BASSO INDUSTRY CORP.:
Audit opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of BASSO INDUSTRY CORP. (the “Company”), which comprise Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Changes in Equity and Statements of Cash Flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the individual financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying individual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the individual Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant 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.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the individual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters for the Company’s financial statements are stated as follows:
9
- Revenue recognition
For the accounting policies relating to revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4 (13) of the individual financial statements.
Description of key audit matters:
Different sales terms such as discounts, returns, warranty (according to the contract), or consignment, are provided in part of the Company's sales contracts due to agreement or business practices. Therefore, risks exist in correctness of revenue recognition point. Thus, recognition cut-off test is one of the material evaluation items for us in auditing the individual financial reports of BASSO INDUSTRY CORP.
Audit procedures performed:
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following: Understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the key internal controls over the revenue and collection cycle; sampled and inspected material sales contracts or external sales orders to evaluate whether revenue has been recognized according to accounting standards; understood revenue from top 10 customers, compared difference between current period amount and same period of prior year to evaluate whether there is any significant abnormality; selected sales transaction samples incurred before and after the cut-off date, compared them with related evidences to evaluate the correctness of period when revenue is recognized and understood whether there is material sales return after the end of accounting period.
- Inventory valuation
For the accounting policies of inventories, please refer to Note 4 (7) of the individual financial statements; for the accounting estimates and uncertainties in assumptions of inventory evaluation, please refer to Note 5 of the individual financial reports; for the description of inventory evaluation, please refer to Note 6 (6) of the individual financial reports. Description of key audit matters:
The inventory of BASSO INDUSTRY CORP. is measured by the lower of cost or net realizable value. Because of the fierce competition in the global market, the product design and manufacturing technology are rapidly changing. The introduction of new products may change the demand of European and American brand manufacturers and consumers and make the existing products obsolete or no longer meet market demand. The sales of related products may fluctuate drastically which resulted in risk that the cost of inventory may exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, the inventory evaluation is one of the material evaluation items for us to perform the audit of the individual financial report of BASSO INDUSTRY CORP. Audit procedures performed:
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following: Evaluated the reasonableness of the inventory valuation policy; examined the inventory aging, analyzed its change, and assessed whether the inventory valuation had been conducted in accordance with accounting policies; understood and assessed the reasonableness of basis for net realizable value adopted by the management, selected samples, verified with evidences to test the correctness of the amount, and assessed whether the management's disclosure regarding inventory valuation was fairly presented.
10
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to ensure the preparation of individual financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the individual 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 Supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual 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 individual 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 individual 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.
11
-
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 individual 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 individual financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
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 individual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 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.
