Appendix III
Independent Auditors' Report
(113) Financial Review Report No. 23004479
To CMC Magnetics Corporation:
Opinion
We have reviewed the accompanying parent company alone balance sheets of CMC Magnetics Corporation (the “Company”) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the relevant parent company alone statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2023, and relevant notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies “(collectively referred to as the parent company only financial statements)”.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its standalone financial performance and its standalone cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2023 in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers based on our audit results and the audit reports of other certified public accountants (CPAs)(refer to the section of “Other matters”).
Basis for Audit Opinion
The auditor has conducted the audit work in accordance with the Rules for Auditing Certified Financial Statements and the Auditing Standards of the Republic of China. The auditor's responsibilities under these standards will be further explained in the section on the auditor's responsibility for auditing the individual financial statements. The personnel of the firm to which the auditor belongs, in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, maintain independence from CMC Magnetics Corporation and fulfill other responsibilities under that code. Based on the auditor's audit findings and the audit reports of other auditors, the auditor believes that sufficient and appropriate audit evidence has been obtained to serve as a basis for expressing the audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
The key audit matters refer to the matters that, in the professional judgment of the auditor, are of most significance in the audit of the individual financial statements of CMC Magnetics Corporation for the year 2023. These matters have been addressed in the overall audit of the individual financial statements and in the process of forming the audit opinion. The auditor does not express a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements of the Company for the year ended 2023 are stated as follows:
Accounting estimation of inventory valuation
Description
Refer to Note 4 (13) to the parent company only financial statements for accounting policies regarding inventory valuation; Note 5 (2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions regarding inventory valuation; and Note 6 (6) for details of inventory accounting titles.
CMC Magnetics Corporation mainly manufactures and sells optical discs. Due to frequent market price fluctuations in such inventories, there is a higher risk of inventory valuation losses. CMC Magnetics Corporation's inventory holds a significant monetary value and includes many items that
~15~
require manual judgment for determining obsolescence. Therefore, we have listed the estimate of CMC Magnetics Corporation's allowance for inventory valuation losses as one of the key audit matters for the current year.
Corresponding audit procedures
This matter covers the Company and some of its subsidiaries (investments accounted for using the equity method). Our major audit procedures executed are as follows:
-
Assess the policy adopted for its allowance for valuation loss on its inventories based on the understanding of the Company's operations and the nature of the industry.
-
Test whether the basis for the net realizable value is consistent with the policies set by the Company, and randomly inspect the correctness of the selling prices of individual inventory part numbers and the way the net realized value is calculated.
-
Acquire obsolete inventory details that have been identified and approved by the management, inspect the relevant information and verify it based on the records in the account.
Evaluation of impairment of property, factories and equipment
Description
For the accounting policies for impairment of property, factories and equipment and non-financial assets, please refer to Notes 4 (15) and 4 (20) of the parent company only financial statements; for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions for impairment of property, factories and equipment, please refer to Note 5 (2) of the parent company only financial statements; for the description of impairment accounting items of property, factories and equipment and non-financial assets, please refer to Notes 6 (8) and 6 (12) of the parent company only financial statements.
CMC Magnetics Corporation evaluates the recoverable amount of its real estate, factories, and equipment based on their utility value, which serves as the basis for impairment assessment. Since the evaluation of utility value involves judgment by management, any changes in estimates due to changes in economic conditions or company strategies may result in impairment in the future. Therefore, the auditor has identified the impairment assessment of CMC Magnetics Corporation's real estate, factories, and equipment as one of the key audit matters for the current year.
Corresponding audit procedures
This matter covers the Company and some of its subsidiaries (investments accounted for using the equity method). Our major audit procedures executed are as follows:
-
Recalculate relevant amounts to check the correctness of the management's relevant calculations of the recoverable amount of assets with signs of impairment at the balance sheet date.
-
Understand and evaluate whether the Company’s asset impairment assessment procedures and accounting policies are consistent with accounting principles and adopted consistently, including methods used by management to determine the recoverable amount of individual assets.
-
Obtain the evaluation information used by the management to determine the recoverable amount based on the asset usage model and industry characteristics, evaluate and determine the reasonableness of the independent cash flow of the asset group, the useful life of the asset, and the possible future income and expenses.
Other Matters – Audits by other CPAs
The financial statements of the investee companies accounted for using the equity method in the individual financial statements of the Company have not been audited by our auditors, but rather by other auditors. Therefore, in our opinion on the aforementioned individual financial statements, the amounts presented in the financial statements of those companies are based on the audit reports of
~16~
the other auditors. The investment amounts in the aforementioned companies accounted for using the equity method as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were NT$1,876,364 thousand and NT$2,130,931 thousand, respectively, representing 7.79% and 9.65% of the total assets. The comprehensive losses recognized for the aforementioned companies from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 and from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 were NT$233,161 thousand and NT$387,858 thousand, respectively, representing (12.06%) and 51.04% of the total comprehensive income.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The responsibilities of the management are to prepare the parent company only financial statements with fair presentation in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and to maintain necessary internal control associated with the preparation in order to ensure that the financial statements are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Company in continuing as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Company or cease the operations without other viable alternatives.
The governance bodies of the Company (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The purpose of the auditor's examination of the individual financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not absolute assurance, since the audit work performed in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China cannot guarantee that all material misstatements caused by fraud or error will be detected. Material misstatements may arise from fraud or error. If the individual amounts or total amounts of misstatements are reasonably expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the individual financial statements, they are considered to be material.
The auditor conducted the audit in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China, using professional judgment and skepticism. The auditor also performed the following tasks:
-
Identify and evaluate the significant risks of material misstatement in the individual financial statements arising from fraud or error; design and implement appropriate responses to the assessed risks; and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as a basis for the audit opinion. Due to the possibility of fraud involving collusion, forgery, intentional omission, false representations, or override of internal controls, the risk of material misstatement arising from fraud is higher than that arising from error.
-
Understand the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, while not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by the management.
-
Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclusions are drawn regarding the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern accounting basis and the existence of significant
~17~
uncertainties that may cast doubt on the ability of the Company to continue operating. If the auditor determines that such uncertainties exist, they must alert users of the individual financial statements in the audit report to the relevant disclosures or modify the audit opinion if the disclosures are deemed inappropriate. The auditor's conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the audit report. However, future events or circumstances may lead to the Company no longer having the ability to continue operating.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the parent company only financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements adequately present the relevant transactions and events.
-
Sufficient and appropriate audit evidence has been obtained regarding the financial information of the individual components within the Company to express an opinion on the individual financial statements. The accountant is responsible for guiding, supervising, and executing the individual audit cases, and is responsible for forming the audit opinion on the individual financial statements.
The matters communicated between us and the governance bodies include the planned scope and times of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit).
We also provided governance bodies with a declaration that we have complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China regarding independence, and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that may possibly be regarded as detrimental to our independence (including relevant protective measures).
Based on the matters communicated with the governance unit, the auditor has determined the key audit matters for the audit of the individual financial statements of the Company for the 2023 year. The auditor shall disclose such matters in the audit report, unless prohibited by law or in extremely rare circumstances where the auditor determines that communicating specific matters in the audit report would be expected to outweigh the public interest.

Opinions

Basis for Audit Opinions

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters refer to the most vital matters in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2023 based on our professional judgment. Such matters have been dealt with in the course of auditing and compiling the consolidated financial statements and in the preparation of our audit opinion. As such, we do not respond to each key matter individually.
Key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:
Accounting estimation of inventory valuation
Description
Refer to Note 4(14) to the consolidated financial statements for accounting policies regarding inventory valuation; Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions regarding inventory valuation; and Note 6(7) for details of inventory accounting titles.
The Group mainly manufactures and sells optical discs. Due to frequent market price fluctuations in such inventories, there is a higher risk of inventory valuation losses. The Group's inventory holds a significant monetary value and includes many items that require manual judgment for determining obsolescence. Therefore, we have listed the estimate of the Group's allowance for inventory valuation losses as one of the key audit matters for the current year.
Corresponding audit procedures
Our major audit procedures executed in response to this key audit matter are as follows.
-
Assess the policy adopted for its allowance for valuation loss on its inventories based on the understanding of the Group's operations and the nature of the industry.
-
Test whether the basis for the net realizable value is consistent with the policies set by the Group, and randomly inspect the correctness of the selling prices of individual inventory part numbers and the way the net realized value is calculated.
-
Acquire obsolete inventory details that have been identified and approved by the management, inspect the relevant information and verify it based on the records in the account.
~26~
Evaluation of impairment of property, plant and equipment
Description
For the accounting policies for impairment of property, plant and equipment and nonfinancial assets, please refer to Notes 4(16) and 4(21) of the consolidated financial statements; for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions for impairment of property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 5(2) of the consolidated financial statements; for the description of impairment accounting items of property, plant and equipment and non-financial assets, please refer to Notes 6(9) and 6(13) of the consolidated financial statements.
The Group estimates the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment based on value in use, which serves as the basis for impairment assessment. Since the value-in-use evaluation process involves the judgment of the management, any changes in economic conditions or changes in the Group’s strategy may cause impairment in the future. Therefore, we have listed the impairment assessment of the Group’s property, plant and equipment as one of the key audit items for the current year.
Corresponding audit procedures
Our major audit procedures executed in response to this key audit matter are as follows.
-
Recalculate relevant amounts to check the correctness of the management's relevant calculations of the recoverable amount of assets with signs of impairment at the balance sheet date.
-
Understand and evaluate whether the Company’s asset impairment assessment procedures and accounting policies are consistent with accounting principles and adopted consistently, including methods used by management to determine the recoverable amount of individual assets.
-
Obtain the evaluation information used by the management to determine the recoverable amount based on the asset usage model and industry characteristics, evaluate and determine the reasonableness of the independent cash flow of the asset group, the useful life of the asset, and the possible future income and expenses.
Other Matters – Audits by other CPAs
The financial statements of some of the subsidiaries and investees that are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group were not audited by us but by other CPAs. Therefore, the opinions issued by us regarding the amounts listed in such subsidiary
~27~
financial reports from the consolidated financial statements mentioned above are based on the audit report from other CPAs. The total assets of the aforementioned company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were NT $2,209,357 thousand and NT $2,521,568 thousand, respectively, accounting for 8.67% and 10.77% of the total consolidated assets; the operating income in 2023 and 2022 was NT $2,096,295 thousand and NT $2,415,901 thousand, respectively, accounting for 28.39% and 31.41% of the consolidated operating income. In addition, part of the Group’s investments using the equity method in 2023 and 2022 and part of the information on investees disclosed in Note 13 are based on their evaluation and disclosures of the financial statements made by other CPAs appointed by the investees. We did not audit said financial statements. The balance of said investment using the equity method disclosed as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was NT$221,576 thousand and NT$185,166 thousand, respectively, accounting for 0.87% and 0.79% of the total consolidated assets; the comprehensive income (including the share of profit and loss and other comprehensive income on associates and joint ventures recognized under the equity method) are NT$35,796 thousand and NT$(51,341) thousand, accounting for 1.84% and 6.69% of the total comprehensive income.
Other Matters - Parent Company Only Financial Reports
The Company has also prepared the parent company only financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, for which we have issued an unqualified opinion, plus the audit report as in the section of other matters
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The responsibility of the management is to prepare consolidated financial statements that are reasonably expressed in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Interpretations approved and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and to maintain and consolidate financial statements. Necessary internal control related to the preparation of statements is undertaken to ensure that there is no material misrepresentation in the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error.
~28~
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Group in continuing as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Group or cease the operations without other viable alternatives.
The governance bodies of the Group (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
CPAs' Responsibilities for the Audit of Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance, but it 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.
We applied professional judgment and skepticism in our audit in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China. We have also performed the following tasks:
-
Identify and evaluate the risk of material misstatements due to fraud or error in the Consolidated Financial Statements; design and carry out appropriate countermeasures for the evaluated risk; and obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for their audit 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.
-
Understand the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, while not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by the management.
~29~
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's adoption of the going concern basis of accounting based on the audit evidence obtained and whether a material uncertainty exists for 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.
-
Evaluate the overall expression, structure and contents of the consolidated financial statements (including related notes) and whether the consolidated financial statements fairly presented relevant transactions and events.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence concerning the financial information of entities within the Group, to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the guiding, supervising, and performing the audit and forming an audit opinion on the Group.
The matters that we communicate with the governance unit, including the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit).
We also provided governance bodies with a declaration that we have complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China regarding independence, and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that may possibly be regarded as detrimental to our independence (including related safeguards).
We have determined, based on our communications with the governance bodies, the key audit matters for the audit of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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.
