Business Report
2018 was a tough year as the LED market was affected by China-United States trade war and the global economic downturn. The overall LED market was oversupply and so led to increase the pressure of price competition. In order to overcome various unfavorable situations, Bright LED had been working on cost reduction and meanwhile focusing on quality and production efficiency. Moreover, Bright LED had been increasing the sales proportion of high value added products so that we still remain profitable in these difficult times.
2018 Result
In 2018, our consolidated revenue totaled NT$1,650,740 thousand dollars, a decrease of 16.32 percent over NT$1,972,727 thousand dollars in 2017. Consolidated net income totaled NT$86,910 thousand dollars, a decrease of 52.91 percent over NT$184,551 thousand dollars in 2017. Net income attributed to the parent company totaled NT$109,022 thousand dollars, a decrease of 48.00 percent over NT$209,660 thousand dollars in 2017.

Technological Developments
In 2018, we developed several high luminous efficient and eco-friendly commercial lighting products. Its applications are street lighting, landscape lighting, spotlighting, tunnel lighting …etc and so on. These lighting products have high price-performance ratio and passed LM80 tests. Using our own LED light source which is made by our patented technology and with special manufacturing process, its efficiency has reached 180lm/W with high color rendering index above 90. We continuously use this technology to develop brakelighting, warning lighting …etc used in automotive market in which needs LED lighting products with quick reaction capability and high luminous efficiency.
6
For LED components, we developed Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) which it can detect light intensity in surroundings and so automatically adjust its luminance. It is adopted in various industries like security and monitoring industry, medical industry and smart mobile device industry and so on. In the meanwhile, photo coupler and IR LED components were upgraded and improved to better meet various markets’ needs. To face industry 4.0 smart manufacturing era, our development of new product “photo relay” has been in progress. Compared to electromagnetic relay, photo relay has longer life time, lower current drive and faster response and so it’s one of the indispensable components in smart manufacturing industry. For medical application, UVC LED is essential for monitering air, water and for sterilization. We believe, as more people aware that when we pursue better quality of life, at the same time, we need to protect environment more, the outlook of UVC LED applications can be expected optimistically in the future.
Summary, corporate development, and outlook affected by external competition, regulatory environment and overall operation strategy
Apart from our current LED applications, including smart living, security and monitoring, aviation and transportation, gaming and lighting and so on, we continuously develop new products used in new applications to seize new market opportunities and so increase our revenues and profits. Also, we continuously upgrade our LED products or increase product’s added values to meet our customers’ needs and differentiate us from other competitors. China has been supporting their own LED companies for a long time, so causing LED companies outside of China face a lot of pressure from unfair competitions. In short term, a fall in LED price trend is unavoidable because of the oversupply, which is the result of reduced demand from China-United States trade war. On the other hand, new technology developments have been in progress rapidly that might be opportunities or tests for LED industry to adapt to the developments rapidly.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
(Parent Company Only Financial Statements)
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Bright LED Electronics Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Bright LED Electronics Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

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 parent company only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant 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.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:

For details of accounting policies, accounting estimates and assumptions, and related disclosures of inventory valuation, please refer to Notes 4 (7), 5 (2) and 6 (8) of the Company’s parent company only financial statements.
The description of key audit matter:
The Company’s amount of inventories is shown as the lower of cost and net realizable value. Because determining the slow moving inventory loss involves subjective judgment on individual assessment of each category of inventory and its idle days, inventory valuation is one of the key audit matters that we conducted.
Corresponding audit procedure included the following:

For details of accounting policies and related disclosures of revenue recognition, please refer to Notes 4 (14) and 6 (18) of the Company’s parent company only financial statements.
The description of key audit matter:
The sources of the major operating revenue of the Company are research and development, productions, and sales of light-emitting diodes indicators and display…etc and contracts of LED display, LED lighting and related operating applications/systems’ constructions. Where the Company’s revenues generated from is the concerned factor for this report users or recipients. Furthermore, IFRS 15 was first adopted by the republic of China in 2018; hence, revenue recognition is considered as one of the key audit matters.

-
Tested the design of internal control system and effectiveness of execution.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 of the republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only 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 the Supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 parent company only 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 parent company only 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
12
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 parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only 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 Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion
13
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 parent company only 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 Mr.Hui-Chih Kou and Ms. Hsin-I Kuo.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
(Consolidated Financial Statements)
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Bright LED Electronics Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Bright LED Electronics Corp and subsidiaries. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the 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 Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.
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 consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant 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.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
Inventory valuation
21
For details of accounting policies, accounting estimations and assumptions, and related disclosures of inventory valuation, please refer to Notes 4 (8), 5 (2) and 6 (8) of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The description of key audit matter:
The Company’s amount of inventories is shown as the lower of cost and net realizable value. Because determining the slow moving inventory loss involves subjective judgment on individual assessment of each category of inventory and its idle days, inventory valuation is one of the key audit matters that we conducted.
Corresponding audit procedure included the following:
-
Obtained year end inventory falling price losses and inventory aging report
-
Compared the difference between the actual selling prices and its book values
-
Evaluated managers’ judgment on allowance percentage of inventory aging report whether is reasonable or not, which included the following procedures as well:
-
Executed audit sampling procedure
-
Tested the accuracy of the invenoty aging report
-
Compared the difference between last year’s allowance and actual write-off
-
Evaluated the appropriateness of the policy of allowance to reduce inventory and loss from idle inventories.
Revenue Recognition
For details of accounting policies and related disclosures of revenue recognition, please refer to Notes 4 (14) and 6 (20) of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The description of key audit matter:
The sources of the major operating revenue of the Company are research and development, productions, and sales of light-emitting diodes indicators and display…etc and contracts of LED display, LED lighting and related operating applications/systems’ constructions. Where the Company’s revenues generated from is the concerned factor for this report users or recipients. Furthermore, IFRS 15 was first adopted by the republic of China in 2018; hence, revenue recognition is considered as one of the key audit matters.
22
Corresponding audit procedure included the following:
-
Evaluated appropriateness of accounting policies according to the understanding of the Company’s operation and the characteristics of the industry both acquired by the new IFRS.
-
Tested the design of internal control system and effectiveness of execution.
-
Analyzed and evaluated if there is any major irregularity by inspecting revenues generated from main customers and new customers.
-
Evaluated accuracy during the period of revenue recognition by inspecting new major contract added in this period and testing sales samples in accordance with its contract terms during a period of time, which is before and after the year end.
Account Receivables Valuation
For details of accounting policies of account receivables valuation, please refer to Notes 4 (7) financial instrutments of the Company’s consolidated financial statements; for details of accounting estimates and accounting assumption of uncertainty of account receivables valuation, please refer to Notes 5 (1) of the Company’s consolidated financial statements; for details of explanation on account receivables valuation, please refer to 6 (6) of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The description of key audit matter:
Account receivables of Bright LED Electronics Corp. are distributed among customers. The account receivables valuation allowance is calculated according to the expected percentage of credit losses which takes each time interval of overdues of account receivables and adjustments on prospective factors into consideration when estimating expected credit losses of account receivables. The management will, according to the report date, re-update new expected losses within each time interval of overdues and perform individual assessments on major overdues and payment disputes; hence, it involves subjective judgment from the managers and it is considered as one of the key audit matters. Corresponding audit procedure included the following:
-
Evaluated reasonableness of the percentage of expected credit losses
-
Determined whether there is a major irregularity by comparing the turnover rate and turnover days of accounts receivables with the company’s credit policy and other related information.
-
Obtained the aging schedule.
-
Verified total amount from the aging schedule with general ledger
-
Confirmed integrity and accuracy of the aging schedule.
23
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Bright LED Electronics Corp. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only 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 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.
In preparing the conslidated 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 the Supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Company’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
24
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 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 Company 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 Company 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.
25
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 Mr.Hui-Chih Kou and Ms. Hsin-I Kuo.
