  2. Enhance automation and smart production to improve quality and to enhance production flexibility.

Challenges

Taiwan's PCB industry has been developing for more than 30 years and has built a complete supply chain and industrial clusters. Taiwan's PCB makers have an edge on yield, quality, price, speed and service over global competitors and have a great share of global demand of PCB for automotive electronics, telecommunication, information technology and consumers’ electronics. According to the statistics of TPCA and IEK, total revenue of Taiwan’s PCB makers in 2016 was NT$ 566 billion and increased by 1.62%.

Global economic growth in 2016 was 3.0% which was not as good as expected mainly due to global trade stagnation, increased political uncertainty and weak investment. The slowdown in advanced countries and the sluggish exports of major commodity nations led to global trade stagnation, and global trade stagnation fostered the rise of trade protectionism. Political uncertainty resulted from the Brexit and election of President of the United States had impact on global economy. Weak investment was owing to disappointment of slow economic recovery. Enterprises waited for the economy to improve and suspend their investment. However, due to the prudent response of countries, the global economy remained stable. At the same time, US dollar against Taiwan dollar began to depreciated in the middle of the year, but the yearly exchange rate for US dollar was still beneficial for exporters due to the sharp appreciation of US dollar at the beginning of the year. It is still a profitable year for exporters.

12

The global economy is expected to boom as the US economy recovers rapidly. According to the forecasts of IMF and the World Bank, the global economic growth rate will rise to 3.4% and 3.5% respectively. 2017 will be the best year among the recent years. The economic recovery is expected to get greater momentum this year. The biggest risk factors in 2017 were Trump's trade protectionism and the uncertainty of EU politics. However, the recovery of the global economy is relatively solid. This year will be quite a year to look forward to.

According to the forecast of IEK, total revenue of Taiwan’s PCB makers in 2017 is expected to be NT$ 584 billion and increased by 3.16%. Taiwan’s PCB makers have always beaten the market and got a bigger share even in global adverse economic situations. They are competitive in the aspects of cost and production bases so they will still remain profitable in the future of growing electronics industries.

Taiwan PCB industry are facing many challenges and rapidly changing external environments which have a great impact on Taiwan's PCB industry. Facing stable global economy in 2016, Chin-poon align our strategy to enhance our edge on integration, globalization, niche products, key technology, logistics platform, cost control and knowledge management to achieve our profit targets. We are planning to take active approaches and to expand more production in Asia benefit from new opportunities of growing electronics industries.

In the past year, the company has achieved the goals of growth for our revenue and profits under the support of all shareholders. We are going to continue improving our core competitiveness to enhance our performance so that we can keep enhancing shareholders' equity.

Sincerely yours,

Chairman Chief Executive Officer Principal Accounting Officer

Address: No. 46, Nei-Tsuoh St., 3rd Lin, Nei-Tsuoh Village, Lu-Chu County, Taoyuan City, Taiwan, R.O.C. Tel: (03)322-2226

The auditors’ report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of the English and Chinese language auditors’ report and consolidated financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors Chin-Poon Industrial Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Chin-Poon Industrial Co., Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries ("the Consolidated Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 Consolidated Company as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), International Accounting Standards ("IASs"), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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 Consolidated Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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 of 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 year ended December 31, 2016. 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.

  1. Subsequent measurements of inventories

Please refer to note 4(h), note 5(a) and 6(d) for the disclosure on subsequent measurements of inventories of the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

The inventories of the Consolidated Company are mainly electronic printed circuit boards and electronic materials. The products may be outdated or no longer meet the market demand due to the rapid changes in technology. In addition, with the price competition in the same industry, the demand on related products and their prices may fiercely fluctuate, which may result in a risk wherein the cost of inventories may exceed its net realizable value. As a result, the subsequent measurements of inventories has to be based on the managements' assessment using internal and extemal evidences. Therefore, the subsequent measurements of inventories was identified as one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

The procedures included assessing the rationality of accounting policy for inventory subsequent measurements; reviewing the inventory aging documents and analyzing their changes; obtaining the documents of inventory subsequent measurements and understanding the rationality of sales prices adopted by the management while the inventory subsequent measurements was still in progress; selecting samples and examining relevant documents to verify the accuracy of net realizable value of inventories; and assessing whether the disclosure of the inventory subsequent measurements made by the management was appropriate.

  1. Provision of sales returns and discounts

Please refer to note 4(l), note 5(b) and note 6(h) for the disclosure on the provision for sales returns and discounts of the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

The Consolidated Company recorded a provision for its estimated future returns and discounts for specific electronic circuit boards by using historical trend and other known factors in the same period when related revenue is recorded. Since the provision for sales rectums and discounts was subject to significant judgment of the management, the procedures of estimation can be complicated. Therefore, the provision for sales returns and discounts was identified as one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

The procedures included understanding the management's methodology used in estimating sales returns and allowances; assessing the reasonableness of relevant assumptions made by the management; obtaining the documents of provision for sales returns and allowances, selecting samples and examining relevant documents to verify the reasonableness of the management's methodology used in estimating provision for sales returns and discounts; and assessing whether the disclosure on provision for sales returns and allowances made by the management was appropriate.

Other Matter

Chin-Poon Industrial Co., Ltd. has prepared its parent company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, on which we have issued an unqualified 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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Consolidated 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 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 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 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 Consolidated Company’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 Consolidated 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 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 Consolidated Company 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 the entities or business activities within the Consolidated 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.

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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report are Lily Lu and Yu Ann Tien.

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 year ended December 31, 2016. 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.

  1. Subsequent measurements of inventories

Please refer to note 4(g), note 5(a) and 6(d) for the disclosure on subsequent measurements of inventories of the parent company only financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

The inventories of the Company are mainly electronic printed circuit boards and electronic materials. The products may be outdated or no longer meet the market demand due to the rapid changes in technology. In addition, with the price competition in the same industry, the demand on related products and their prices may fiercely fluctuate, which may result in a risk wherein the cost of inventories may exceed its net realizable value. As a result, the subsequent measurements of inventories has to be based on the managements' assessment using internal and external evidences. Therefore, the subsequent measurements of inventories was identified as one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

The procedures included assessing the rationality of accounting policy for inventory subsequent measurements; reviewing the inventory aging documents and analyzing their changes; obtaining the documents on inventory subsequent measurements, and understanding the rationality of sales prices adopted by the management while the inventory subsequent measurements was still in progress; selecting samples and examining relevant documents to verify the accuracy of net realizable value of inventories; and assessing whether the disclosure of the inventory subsequent measurements made by the management was appropriate.

  1. Provision of sales returns and discounts

Please refer to note 4(l), note 5(b) and note 6(i) for the disclosure on the provision for sales returns and discounts of the parent company only financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

The Company recorded a provision for its estimated future returns and discounts for specific electronic circuit boards by using historical trend and other known factors in the same period when related revenue is recorded. Since the provision for sales rectums and discounts was subject to significant judgment of the management, the procedures of estimation can be complicated. Therefore, the provision for sales returns and discounts was identified as one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

The procedures included understanding the management's methodology used in estimating sales returns and allowances; assessing the reasonableness of relevant assumptions made by the management; obtaining the documents of provision for sales returns and allowances, selecting samples and examining relevant documents to verify the reasonableness of the management's methodology used in estimating provision for sales returns and discounts; and assessing whether the disclosure on provision for sales returns and allowances made by the management was appropriate.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

  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 Company’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 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment on other entities accounted for under equity method 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report are Lily Lu and Yu Ann Tien.

The aforesaid tentative resolutions shall be executed in accordance with applicable provisions of the Company Act.

  5. If the number of outstanding shares represented by the shareholders present becomes sufficient to constitute the quorum during the process of the Meeting, the chairperson may submit the tentative resolutions to the Meeting for approval in accordance with Article 174 of the Company Act.

  7. The above provision applies mutatis mutandis to cases where the Meeting is convened by any person, other than the Board of Directors, entitled to convene such Meeting.

93

Unless otherwise resolved at the Meeting, the chairperson cannot announce adjournment of the Meeting before all the items (including special motions) listed in the agenda are resolved. The shareholders cannot designate any other person as chairperson and continue the Meeting in the same or other place after the Meeting is adjourned.

If all the items in the agenda are not resolved in the Meeting, a resolution may be adopted at a shareholders’ meeting to defer or resume the Meeting within 5 days in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act. In this case, the Company does not need to issue a public notice for that.

  2. When a shareholder present at the Meeting wishes to speak, a Speech Note should be filled out with a summary of the speech, the shareholder's number (or the number of Attendance Card) and the name of the shareholder. The sequence of speeches by shareholders should be decided by the chairperson. If any shareholder present at the Meeting submits a Speech Note but does not speak, no speech should be deemed to have been made by such shareholder.

If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders’ meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.

At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chairperson or a person designated by the chairperson shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the Market Observation Post System (MOPS).
