-
As of the first quarter of 2018, the revenue and profitable niche were higher due to the demand for cryptocurrency mining.

In the case that the market demand is gradually stabilized, the Company will focus on selling products with stable gross profit, instead of focusing on the substantial increase in sales volume, and relying on the stable financial quality of the Company to maintain a certain economic scale.

Independent Auditors' Report
(108) Financial Review Reference No.18004488
To ChainTech Technology Corp.:
Audit Opinions
The independent auditors have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ChainTech Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as "the Group") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity, consolidated statements of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements (including summary of significant accounting policies) for the annual period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Based on our opinions, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) Interpretations, and Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, as well as the consolidated financial performance and the consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Basis of Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Individual Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the section of Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing Financial Statements. 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 serve as the foundation of our audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters refer to matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statement of the Group 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 out opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Consolidated Financial Statement of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
Assessment of sales allowance estimate
Description
Regarding the accounting policy of recognition for sales allowance, please refer to Notes IV (XXIV) of the consolidated financial statements; the accounting estimate and assumption of the sales allowance refer to Notes V (II) of the consolidated financial statements; the accounting description of the sales allowance refer to Notes VI (XII) of the consolidated financial statements.
12
The Group's calculation of the sales allowance based on the content of the sales allowance agreement is based on historical experience and other known reasons to estimate the possible product discount, which is included in the sales of the product in the current period of sales, and is classified as deduction of accounts receivable. As a result of the reduction, the accountant has listed the estimate of sales allowance as one of the most important matters for the year.
Corresponding audit procedures
The independent auditors have performed the following key audit procedures for the matter mentioned above:
-
Understand the nature of the company's operations and industry and inspect the contents of the sales allowance agreement in the sales contract, confirming that there are no significant changes in the terms of the sales allowance agreement.
-
Inspect the estimated breakdown of current sales allowance, sampled and inspected the foundation of sales allowance to individual agreement to verify the accuracy of calculation.
There are no material differences between the historical estimates and actual sales allowance.
Sales revenue cut-off
Description
Regarding the recognition of accounting policy for sales revenues, please refer to Notes IV (XXIV) of the consolidated financial statements. For accounting description for sales revenue, please refer to Note VI (XII) of the consolidated financial statements.
The Group has engaged in the trading and manufacturing of computer peripherals. Sales turnover of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered out. However, the sales revenue will not be recognized until the customer take the delivery of goods and the transfer control has passed. The Group mainly relies on the statements or other information provided by the depositary of the delivery warehouse, then uses the actual shipment made by the warehouse to the customer as the basis for recognizing the income.
The recognition of the turnover from the warehouse is based on the information and report provided by the depositary as the basis for recognizing the sales revenue. These revenue recognitions generally involve a large number of manual operations. Considering that the volume of the shipments of the Group is large, and the amount of transaction before and after the financial date has a significant impact on the financial statements, the independent auditors have thus listed the sales revenue as the most important matter for this year's audit.
Corresponding audit procedures
The independent auditors have performed the following key audit procedures for the matter mentioned above:
-
Understand Revenue recognition and adjustment procedures for revenue cut-off for shipment from the depositary of warehouse of the Group. Then, inspect the appropriateness of the revenue's recognition from the warehouse, including understanding of the relevant internal control procedures, obtaining information and the statements provided by the depositary.
-
Carry out an internal control test for the sales revenue from the warehouse in order to make sure that the Group determine the sales recognition when the customer receives the delivery of goods and the right of control is transferred.
-
Perform a closing test for sales revenue from delivery of warehouses for a certain period before and after the balance sheet date, including the verification of shipment certificates and that revenue
13
recognition is recorded in the appropriate period.
Perform random checks on physical stock taking and on-site inventory observation in the warehouse and check if the inventory quantity on the record is correct.
Other Matters – Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The independent auditors have also audited the parent company only financial statements of ChainTech Technology Corp. for 2018 and 2017, on which we have issued reports with unmodified opinion for reference.
Responsibility of the Management and the Governing Body 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, 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, the responsibility of the management includes assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing going concern related matters, as well as adopting going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Group or terminate the business, 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.
Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing 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 Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise from fraud and error. If it could be reasonably anticipated that the misstated individual amounts or aggregated sum could have influence on the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial statements, it will be deemed as material.
As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS of Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also execute the following tasks:
-
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 that 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.
14
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made accordingly.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, determine 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, we are required 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 circumstances may cause the Group to no longer continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall expression, structure, and contents of the consolidated financial statements (including related notes) and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with regard to the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion about the consolidated 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 The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China 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, 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.

Independent Auditors' Report
(108)Financial Review Reference No.18004311
To Chaintech Technology Corp.,
Audit opinion
The independent auditors have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Chaintech Technology Corp. (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, parent company only statements of changes in equity, parent company only statements of cash flows, and notes to the parent company only financial statements (including summary of significant accounting policies) for the annual period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
The financial statements of the aforementioned parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and the parent company only financial performance and parent company only cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Basis for Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of R.O.C. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the section of Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing Financial Statements. 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 serve as the foundation of our audit opinion.
Key Audit Items
Key Audit Matters refer to matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the Company 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 out opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
23
-
Key audit matters for the Company Only Financial Statements for the year ended December
-
31, 2018 are stated as follows:
Assessment of sales allowance estimate
Description
Regarding the accounting policy of recognition for sales allowance, please refer to Notes IV (XXIV) of the parent company only financial statements; the accounting estimate and assumption of the sales allowance refer to Notes V (II) of the parent company only financial statements; the accounting description of the sales allowance refer to Notes VI (XI) of the parent company only financial statements.
The Company's calculation of the sales allowance based on the content of the sales allowance agreement is based on historical experience and other known reasons to estimate the possible product discount, which is included in the sales of the product in the current period of sales, and is classified as deduction of accounts receivable. As a result of the reduction, the accountant has listed the estimate of sales allowance as one of the most important matters for the year.
Corresponding audit procedures
The independent auditors have performed the following key audit procedures for the matter mentioned above:
-
Understand the nature of the company's operations and industry and inspect the contents of the sales allowance agreement in the sales contract, confirming that there are no significant changes in the terms of the sales allowance agreement.
-
Inspect the estimated breakdown of current sales allowance, sampled and inspected the foundation of sales allowance to individual agreement to verify the accuracy of calculation.
-
There are no material differences between the historical estimates and actual sales allowance.
Sales revenue cut-off
Description
Regarding the recognition of accounting policy for sales revenues, please refer to Notes IV (XXIV) of the parent company only financial statements. For accounting description for sales revenue, please refer to Note VI (XI) of the parent company only financial statements.
The Company has engaged in the trading and manufacturing of computer peripherals. Sales turnover of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered out. However, the sales revenue will not be recognized until the customer take the delivery of goods and the transfer control has passed. The Company mainly relies on the statements or other information provided by the depositary of the delivery warehouse, then uses the actual shipment made by the warehouse to the customer as the basis for recognizing the income.
24
The recognition of the turnover from the warehouse is based on the information and report provided by the depositary as the basis for recognizing the sales revenue. These revenue recognitions generally involve a large number of manual operations. Considering that the volume of the shipments of the Company is large, and the amount of transaction before and after the financial statement date has a significant impact on the financial statements, the independent auditors have thus listed the sales revenue as the most important matter for this year's audit.
Corresponding audit procedures
The independent auditors have performed the following key audit procedures for the matter mentioned above:
-
Understand Revenue recognition and adjustment procedures for revenue cut-off for shipment from the depositary of warehouse of the Company. Then, inspect the appropriateness of the revenue's recognition from the warehouse, including understanding of the relevant internal control procedures, obtaining information and the statements provided by the depositary.
-
Carry out an internal control test for the sales revenue from the warehouse in order to make sure that the Company determines the sales recognition when the customer receives the delivery of goods and the right of control is transferred.
-
Perform a closing test for sales revenue from delivery of warehouses for a certain period before and after the balance sheet date, including the verification of shipment certificates and that revenue recognition is recorded in the appropriate period.
-
Perform random checks on physical stock taking and on-site inventory observation in the warehouse and check if the inventory quantity on the record is correct.
Responsibility of the Management and the Governing Body for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The 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 for such internal control as the 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, the responsibility of the management includes assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing going concern related matters, as well as adopting going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Company or terminate the business, 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.
25
Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing 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 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 Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise from fraud or error. If it could be reasonably anticipated that the misstated individual amounts or aggregated sum could have influence on the economic decisions made by the users of the parent company only financial statements, it will be deemed as material.
As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS of Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also execute the following tasks:
-
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 that 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 adopted by the management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made accordingly.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, determine 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 auditor's report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements; or, if such disclosures are inadequate, we are required 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 circumstances may cause the Company to no longer continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall expression, structure, and contents of the parent company only financial statements (including related notes) and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with regard to the financial information of the entities within the Company to express an opinion about the parent company only financial
26
statements. The CPA is responsible for the guidance, supervision and performance of the Group audit, and is responsible for forming the audit opinion to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
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 The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China 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 of the Company 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.
