Perspectives and Operating Strategy for 2017
-
(1). Product Development Strategy
CHC has always devoted to introducing high-end medical equipment and technology to the country in order to improve the standard of medical treatment. In the year 2016, we officially introduced Precise Medicine into Taiwanese medical market. Doctors are now able to customize personal treatment plans based on the physical condition and caring demand of individual patient, to maximize treatment effectiveness while minimizing side effect. Besides maintaining sound relationships with our world renowned manufacturers, we are also in search of new products aggressively through joining exhibitions expected to extend our product line and improve sales revenue using existing sales channels. Ultimately achieve an all-win situation for CHC, patients and medical institutions.
-
(2). Technical Training Plan
-
We believe that quality service and professional employees are the biggest competing advantage of CHC Healthcare Group. We will keep recruiting and training well-qualified teammates, reproducing our profitable business model in Taiwan, no matter to cope with new product introduction or gain access to new market for maintaining high-quality service and good reputation whereas our fast expansion. We have successfully entered China market by offering our technical services, and will continue nurturing our talents to extend the service line into other territories.
-
(3). Medical Services Policy
-
Besides rooting in Taiwan’s medical centers by providing medical service of radiation oncology, CHC has established a full-service medical management business model with medical institutions in China in expectation of managing procedure improvement and revenue increase using our rich experience and resources operating radiation oncology departments throughout the years. These are now the demo sites for business expansion. CHC is also eager to understand trend of government policy and market overview in the China for the purpose of extending the width and depth in the field of medical service and finally becoming a comprehensive turn-key solution provider.
-
The assessment of introducing radiation oncology equipment into Myanmar, Indonesia and Vietnam are constantly under process considering the lack of large medical equipment in South-East Asia. The official entering into the market has been carried out with our joint venture subsidiary in Indonesia started on the spring of 2016. Consider the medical management business model will take a lot of time, we are now searching for any other method, such as direct selling business model, to enter this market as soon as possible.
-
(4). Multidivisional Expansion
-
As aging population and long-term care become unneglectable issues in Taiwan, CHC Health group is planning on stepping into this field as well. We will take reference from the standard of well-reckoned international long-term care institution to break through the stereotype of the dimmed lighting, timeworn space. Use differentiation strategy to create safe, comfortable elder friendly spaces, in hope to construct heartwarming living environments that fit the need of seniors, and to improve the overall quality and dignity of aging life.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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 Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 of the current period. 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Accordingly, evaluation of the ending balance of investments accounted for under equity method has been identified one of the most significant matters in our audit, and hence listed key audit matters—Impairment assessment of goodwill, and Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment of this subsidiary on the Company’s key audit matters. Descriptions of those key audit matters are shown as follows:
Impairment assessment of goodwill

As of December 31, 2016, among all investments of the Company using equity method, the recognized goodwill of Chiu Ho Group due to merger and acquisition was $150,617 (in thousands of NTD). The estimation Chiu Ho Group made was based on discounted recoverable amount of goodwill using proper discount rate and estimated future cash flows of minimal cash generating unit which can generating cash flows independently. The estimation above, involve subjective judgement and uncertainty due to estimation of future cash flows of the cash generating unit and assumptions used to make that estimation, which were significant to the result of recoverable amount estimation. Thus, the auditor considered the impairment assessment of goodwill of cash-generating organization one of the most important audit matters.

Due to radical market competition of the medical industry in recent years, part of the profit from the leasing business was below expectation. Chiu Ho Group had estimated recoverable amount of leasing assets which indicated impairment (recorded as “Property, plant and equipment” on the financial statements) for the reference of impairment assessment. Due to the subjective judgement and uncertainty involved in recoverable amount estimation, which was significant accounting assessing matter, the auditor recognized this impairment assessment of leasing assets which indicated impairment one of the most important audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
The executed procedures in response to the key audit matter above by the auditor:
-
Understand and assess the Company’s relative policy and procedure to the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment, including internal and external information gathering, long-term and short-term operating perspective and industrial tendency assessment. Acquire the Company’s asset impairment self-assessment of cash generating unit.
-
Acquire the asset valuation report issued by appointed expert and execute the following procedures:
-
‧Review and evaluate the independence, objectivity and eligibility of the expert. -
‧Evaluate the universality and appropriateness of the estimating method used in the valuation report. -
‧Confirm the consistency of replacement cost, comparing subject and asset condition between the valuation report and actual operating situation. -
‧Appraise the reasonableness of the assumptions and the accuracy of computing in the valuation report.
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 Preparations of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, 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.
16
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s 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 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 ROC GAAS 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 non-consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, 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 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 auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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.
17
- 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.
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 of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

Report of Independent Accountants
(Translated From Chinese)
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CHC Healthcare Group
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CHC Healthcare Group and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparations 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 (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 of the current period. 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.
24
Key audit matters: Impairment assessment of goodwill
Description
Please refer to Note 4(19) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy of impairment of goodwill, Notes 5(2) to the consolidated financial statements for details about accounting estimate and uncertainty of assumptions of impairment assessment of goodwill.
As of December 31, 2016, the Group’s recognized goodwill as a result of acquisitions of Shih-Lu Co., Ltd. amounted to $150,617 (in thousands of NTD).
The estimation the Group made was based on discounted recoverable amount of goodwill using proper discount rate and estimated future cash flows of minimal cash generating unit which can generating cash flows independently. The estimation above, involve subjective judgement and uncertainty due to estimation of future cash flows of the cash generating unit and assumptions used to make that estimation, which were significant to the result of recoverable amount estimation. Thus, the auditor considered the impairment assessment of goodwill of cash-generating organization one of the most important audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
The executed procedures in response to the specific aspect described above by the auditor:
-
Assess the reasonableness of the valuation model to be in accordance with the knowledge to the operating and industrial nature of the Group.
-
Confirm whether the expected future cash flows adopted in the valuation model are in agreement with the budget in 5 years provided by the Group.
-
Assess the reasonableness of material assumptions in the valuation model (including expected growth rate and discount rate).
Key audit matters: Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment
Description
Due to radical market competition of the medical industry in recent years, part of the profit from the leasing business was below expectation. The Group had estimated recoverable amount of leasing assets which indicated impairment (recorded as “Property, plant and equipment” on the financial statements) for the reference of impairment assessment. Due to the subjective judgement and uncertainty involved in recoverable amount estimation, which was significant accounting assessing matter, the auditor recognized this impairment assessment of leasing assets which indicated impairment one of the most important audit matters.
Please refer to Note 4(19) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy of impairment of assets, Notes 5(2) to the consolidated financial statements for accounting estimate and uncertainty of assumptions of impairment assessment of assets.
25
How our audit addressed the matter
The executed procedures in response to the key audit matter above by the auditor:
-
Understand and assess the Group’s relative policy and procedure to the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment, including internal and external information gathering, long-term and short-term operating perspective and industrial tendency assessment. Acquire the Group’s asset impairment self-assessment of cash generating unit.
-
Acquire the asset valuation report issued by appointed expert and execute the following procedures:
-
‧Review and evaluate the independence, objectivity and eligibility of the expert. -
‧Evaluate the universality and appropriateness of the estimating method used in the valuation report. -
‧Confirm the consistency of replacement cost, comparing subject and asset condition between the valuation report and actual operating situation. -
‧Appraise the reasonableness of the assumptions and the accuracy of computing in the valuation report.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of CHC Healthcare Group as at and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
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 Preparations 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 supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
26
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 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 ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, 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 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 Group’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 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, 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 conditions may cause the Group 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 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.
27
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 of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.
