Appendix 1

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and the Shareholders China Airlines, Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of China Airlines, Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying 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 other regulations.

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 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters in the audit of the financial statements of the Company are stated below:

Passenger Revenue Recognition

In accordance with IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, passenger sales are accounted for as contract liabilities before relevant transportation services are provided. After providing the related services, contract liabilities are reclassified to passenger revenue. As of December 31, 2019, passenger revenue was NT$96,176,865 thousand. Refer to Notes 4 and 26 in the accompanying financial statements for related detailed information.

  • 6 -

Since relevant sales can only be recognized as passenger revenue when passengers actually boarded, confirmation from each passenger holding the ticket who actually boarded involves a complicated process; therefore, we identified passenger revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

The main audit procedures that we performed included the following:

  1. We understood and tested the internal control related to the process of revenue from passenger, including manual and automatic control.

  2. We understood and tested the effectiveness of the information system related to the process of passenger revenue.

  3. We sampled several flight tickets, which were flown and recognized as revenue, to verify whether the boarding date matched the date recorded on the tickets, from advanced sales tickets.

Initial Application of IFRS16 (Leases) - Aircrafts

In accordance with IFRS 16 “Leases”, aircrafts leases initially classified as finance leases under IAS 17 should be recognized as Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities (including financial liabilities for hedging) relating to aircrafts leases are 53,870,134 thousand and 52,153,682 thousand, respectively. Refer to Notes 4 and 20 in the accompanying financial statements for related detailed information.

China Airlines, Mandarin Airlines and Tigerair Taiwan leased ten 777-300ER planes, fifteen A330-300 planes and fifteen 737-800 planes for operation. Because of the long lease term and the high rent of each period, the percentage of Right-of –use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet is high. The assessment of each parameters and lease terms, and the calculation of liabilities by the management will affect the carrying amount and depreciation expense of the Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities (including financial liabilities for hedging) relating to aircrafts. Therefore, we identified initial application of IFRS16-Aircrafts as a key audit matter.

The main audit procedures that we performed included the following:

  1. We understood and tested the effectiveness of the information system related to the calculation of lease liabilities.

  2. We chose an aircraft rents amortization schedule from the lease calculation system, varified the logical rationality of the lease liabilities balance, financial cost discount and Right-of-use amortization, and related carrying amount. Also, we chose a certain amount of aircraft lease contract from the carrying amounts of aircraft lease liability, and checked if there was any difference between rents in the aircraft rents amortization schedule and rents in in the contracts. And we checked if the term of the amortization schedule was consistent with the contract.

  3. 7 -

Other Matter - Audited by Other Independent Auditors

Some investments accounted for using the equity method and disclosure information in Note 13 were audited by other independent auditors, and our audit opinion is based solely on the audit report of other independent auditors. The financial statements and disclosed information were audited by other independent auditors, and our audit opinion is based solely on the audit report of other independent auditors. As of December 31, 2019, the aforementioned investment accounted for using the equity method was NT$1,946,328 thousand, representing 0.72% of total assets. For the year ended December 31, 2019, comprehensive income (including share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and share of other comprehensive income (loss) of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method) was NT$691,115 thousand.

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 the audit committee and supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

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:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether

  2. 8 -

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.

  1. 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.

  2. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Obtain sufficient 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.

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

  • 9 -

be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Huang, Jui-Chan and Cheng, Shiuh-Ran.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders China Airlines, Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of China Airlines, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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. (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”)

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, 2019 and 2018, 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 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 of the Republic of China.

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 Group 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, 2019. 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.

The key audit matters in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group are stated below:

Passenger Revenue Recognition

  • 17 -

In accordance with IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, passenger sales are accounted for as contract liabilities before relevant transportation services are provided. After providing the related services, contract liabilities are reclassified to passenger revenue. As of December 31, 2018, passenger revenue was NT$111,413,435 thousand. Refer to Notes 4 and 27 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for related detailed information.

Since relevant sales can only be recognized as passenger revenue when passengers actually boarded, confirmation from each passenger holding the ticket who actually boarded involves a complicated process; therefore, we identified passenger revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

The main audit procedures that we performed included the following:

  1. We understood and tested the internal control related to the process of revenue from passenger, including manual and automatic control.

  2. We understood and tested the effectiveness of the information system related to the process of passenger revenue.

  3. We sampled several flight tickets, which were flown and recognized as revenue, to verify whether the boarding date matched the date recorded on the tickets, from advanced sales tickets.

Initial application of IFRS16 (Leases) - Aircrafts

In accordance with IFRS 16 “Leases”, aircrafts leases initially classified as finance leases under IAS 17 should be recognized as Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities (including financial liabilities for hedging) relating to aircrafts leases are $62,052,701 thousand and $60,114,778 thousand, respectively. Refer to Notes 4 and 21 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for related detailed information.

China Airlines, Mandarin Airlines and Tigerair Taiwan leased ten 777-300ER planes, fifteen A330-300 planes, fifteen 737-800 planes, ten A320-200 planes, six ERJ190 planes and three ART72-600 planes for operation. Because of the long lease term and the high rent of each period, the percentage of Right-of -use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet is high. The assessment of each parameters and lease terms, and the calculation of liabilities by the management will affect the carrying amount and depreciation expense of the Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities (including financial liabilities for hedging) relating to aircrafts. Therefore, we identified initial application of IFRS 16 - Aircrafts as a key audit matter.

The main audit procedures that we performed included the following:

  1. We understood and tested the effectiveness of the information system related to the calculation of lease liabilities.

  2. 18 -

  3. We chose an aircraft rents amortization schedule from the lease calculation system, verified the logical rationality of the lease liabilities balance, financial cost discount and Right-of-use amortization, and related carrying amount. Also, we chose a certain amount of aircraft lease contract from the carrying amounts of aircraft lease liability, and checked if there was any difference between rents in the aircraft rents amortization schedule and rents in in the contracts. And we checked if the term of the amortization schedule was consistent with the contract.

Other Matter Audited by Other Independent Auditors

We did not audit some subsidiaries which were included in the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements and disclosed information were audited by other independent auditors, and our audit opinion is based solely on the audit report of other independent auditors.

As of December 31, 2019, total assets of these subsidiaries amounted to NT$13,337,093 thousand dollars, representing 4.55% of the combined total assets. For the year ended December 31, 2019, revenue from these subsidiaries amounted to NT$9,513,321thousand dollars, representing 5.65% of the combined total revenue.

Other Matter Parent Company Only Financial Statements

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of China Airlines, Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unmodified 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 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 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 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 audit committee and supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • 19 -

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 20 -

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, 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Huang, Jui-Chan and Cheng, Shiuh-Ran.
