Reporting matters

I. 2018 Business Report

CMC Business Report

(1) For Taiwan car market and exportation business

Car sales totaled 435,131 units in Taiwan in the previous year (2018), of which 48,335 units were sold by the Company. The Company delivered NT$26.59 billion in operating revenues, NT$1.808 billion in operating profits, NT$3.593 billion in after-tax profits, NT$2.64 EPS. Furthermore, the Company delivered NT$34.87 billion in consolidated operating revenues, NT$1.898 billion in consolidated operating profits, and NT$3.892 billion in consolidated after-tax profits.

We unveiled the modified Outlander in 2018 Q4 to the automobile market of Taiwan. In addition to the interior design, the entire car comes standard with seven airbags and equipped with e-Assist intelligent safety system to enhance safety equipment. This model was echoed with the launch of the new generation crossover, the Eclipse Cross, at the end of 2017, which effectively helped to upgrade the brand image of Mitsubishi and product power. In addition, an overall remodeling of the CMC Veryca series was the first of its kind equipped with automatic transmission on the market. The SCC smart protection system was also introduced, including the TCL control system and ASC stability control system, as well as other safety options. This series is highly appealing to consumers and emerged as the new model of commercial vehicles.

The Company will continue to launch special editions in 2019 on the basis of the models on hand, and has planned a brand new Delica in Q3 with overall remodeling. A remodeled Zinger will also be launched in Q4 with a full-range of safety options and higher quality interior design to satisfy the diversified needs of consumers. Under the input of the trade-in allowance policy, domestic sales of vehicles is expected at 49,624 units, or growth of 2.7% from the same period of 2018.

The export market seems to be hampered by the strict rules and regulations of the Gulf Cooperative Council (six countries in the Gulf Area) effective January of last year. The accumulated sales last year were 443 units, a significant decline from the same period of 2017. The export of CKD parts was 1,320 sets. Export sales of vehicles to the Middle East is expected to rise by 20% in 2019 as compared with the previous year, as the safety specifications of Veryca and Zinger could meet the safety rules and regulations of the GCC.

(2) Mainland China Auto Market

Mainland China enjoyed GDP growth of 6.6% in 2018. Clouded by the China-USA trade dispute, consumer confidence declined. Likewise, consumption of automobiles began to weaken in Q3 of last year. In 2018, the total sale of motor vehicles was just 28.08 million units, a decline of 2.8% from the same period of 2017,

3

and was the first decline in sales since 1990. GDP growth in 2019 is expected to achieve 6.0% 6.5% in Mainland China. The projected sales of motor vehicles are about the same as last year, at about 28.1 million units.

Southeast Motor Corp., an investee company of the Company in China, achieved 10% growth in 2018 Q1. However, overall sales were severely challenged by the downturn of the macroeconomic environment and the intensification of competition in the market. In 2018, the total sale of motor vehicles by this Company was about 90,539 units, or a decline of 41.5% from the same period of 2017.

Further to boosting the sale of DX7 and DX3, a brand-new SUV model, the DX5, will be launched to the market in the latter half of the year in 2019. A new model of the DX3, the DX3 EV500, was lauched in the end of the year, and is modified with improved range powered by electricity only. It is expected that its sales could be as many as 102,200 units in the year.

Another investee of the Company in Mainland China, Fujian Benz, sold 28,616 cars in 2018 under the continued popularity of the V-class and New Vito. It was an increase in sales of 27.3% from the same period of 2017. The VAT cut by the Chinese Government in 2019 is expected to help to boost sales by 7.6% or 30,800 units from the same period of 2018.

(3) Development of new business lines

Electric two-wheeler sales in 2018 were 10,093 units, or growth of 7.7% from the same period of 2017. It is expected that two high performance models will be launched to the mainstream market (115c.c.-125c.c.). In addition, the Company has also planned to engage in a joint venture with China Petroleum Corporation and the government to establish more charging stations to create a charging circle. Electric-powered two wheelers will still be popular on the market, and sales in 2019 are expected to grow at a significant level.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders China Motor Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of China Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to Other Matter section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, 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 based on our audits and the reports of other auditors.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

  • 8 -

Key audit matters for the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:

Evaluation of Write-down of Inventory

Inventories of the Group are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The estimation of the net realizable value is based on current market conditions and historical experience with product sales of a similar nature. Since rapid changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the result of such evaluation which could thus lead to the risk of inventory being inactive or obsolete, the evaluation of the write-off of inventory has been identified as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures in respect of the evaluation of the impairment of inventory included:

  • Discussing with management whether the accounting methods and calculations of the evaluation of inventory had any significant changes;

  • Taking stock and verifying the authenticity of documentary evidence of the net realizable value of inventory, such as sales invoices, in order to verify the accuracy of the calculation of the net realizable value of inventory.

Revenue Recognition

Domestic sales of vehicles is material to the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Since the sales of vehicles is subject to the market situation and might lead to recognizing revenue in advance of the appropriate point of recognition, revenue recognition has been identified as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures in respect of revenue recognition included:

  • Discussing with management whether the accounting methods for revenue recognition were appropriate and consistently applied;

  • Testing the design of the revenue recognition internal controls and the operating effectiveness of such controls as well as verifying the authenticity of sales transaction-related documentary evidence;

  • Performing cut-off tests, including examining transaction terms in sales contracts and vehicle delivery receipts, in order to verify whether the risks and rewards of the merchandise were truly transferred and whether the timing of revenue recognition was accurate.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 of Daimler Vans Hong Kong Ltd., Guangzhou NTN-Yulon Drivertrain Co., Ltd., Xiangyang NTN-Yulon Drivertrain Co., Ltd., Shung Ye Motors Corporation, Uni Auto Parts Manufacture Co., Ltd. and Southeast-Motor Co., Ltd. in which the Group had equity-method investments, but such financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these investees in the Group’s consolidated financial statements, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. The aforementioned equity-method investments were 12.1% (NT$7,814,960 thousand) and 10.5% (NT$6,656,901 thousand) of the Group’s total assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Group’s share of equity of the aforementioned equity-method investments amounted to NT$1,282,377 thousand in comprehensive income and NT$1,216,697 thousand in comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which amounted to 36.4% and 29.3% of the Group’s consolidated total comprehensive income, respectively.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of China Motor Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter section.

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 members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  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. 10 -

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

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, 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Chih-Ming Shao and Ya-Ling Wong.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders China Motor Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of China Motor Corporation (the Corporation), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to Other Matter section), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.

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 Corporation 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 based on our audits and the reports of other auditors.

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.

Key audit matters for the financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:

Evaluation of Write-down of Inventory

Inventories of the Corporation are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The estimation of the net realizable value is based on current market conditions and historical experience with product sales of a similar nature. Since rapid changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the result of such evaluation which could lead to the risk of inventory being inactive or obsolete, the evaluation of the write-off of inventory has been identified as a key audit matter.

20

Our audit procedures in respect of the evaluation of the impairment of inventory included:

  • Discussing with management whether the accounting methods and calculations of the evaluation of inventory had any significant changes;

  • Taking stock and verifying the authenticity of documentary evidence of the net realizable value of inventory, such as sales invoices, in order to verify the accuracy of the calculation of the net realizable value of inventory.

Revenue Recognition

Domestic sales of vehicles is material to the Corporation’s financial statements. Since the sales of vehicles is subject to the market situation and might lead to recognizing revenue in advance of the appropriate point of recognition, revenue recognition has been identified as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures in respect of revenue recognition included:

  • Discussing with management whether the accounting methods for revenue recognition were appropriate and consistently applied;

  • Testing the design of the revenue recognition internal controls and the operating effectiveness of such controls as well as verifying the authenticity of sales transaction-related documentary evidence;

  • Performing cut-off tests, including examining transaction terms in sales contracts and vehicle delivery receipts, in order to verify whether the risks and rewards of the merchandise were truly transferred and whether the timing of revenue recognition was accurate.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 of Daimler Vans Hong Kong Ltd., Shung Ye Motors Corporation, and Uni Auto Parts Manufacture Co., Ltd. in which the Corporation had equity-method investments, but such financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these investees in the Corporation’s accompanying financial statements, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. The aforementioned equity-method investments were 5.8% (NT$3,326,815 thousand) and 4.3% (NT$2,464,539 thousand) of the Corporation’s total assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Corporation’s share of equity of the aforementioned equity-method investments amounted to NT$829,089 thousand and NT$503,989 thousand in comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which amounted to 25.1% and 13.5% of the Corporation’s total comprehensive income, respectively.

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.

21

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation’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 Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’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 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 Corporation’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 Corporation’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 Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 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.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Corporation 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.

22

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Chih-Ming Shao and Ya-Ling Wong.
