I. Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Looking back at 2017, political and economic situations around the world have continued on their tumultuous path from the preceding year as many challenges remain in terms of industry developments. Issues such as the fluctuations in global exchange rates, the shortage of labor in China, tightness and increase in prices for component parts have meant significant impact on the entire manufacturing as a whole. As a member of the global supply chain, Compal has not been spared from the effects of these circumstances. Fortunately, with the collaborative efforts from all Compal employees, the company managed to achieve some breakthrough in terms of sales for 2017 to achieve a growth of 16% in consolidated revenue compared to 2016, with the total shipping volume for 5C related electronic products reaching 80 million units. Compal has also continued to reap fruits of success from its Innovation and new business developments. We would like to present a summary of our operational results for last year and business outlook for this year as follows:
2017 Financial and Business Performance
Compal’s 2017 consolidated revenue came to NT$ 887,657 million, which translated to an increase by 16% compared to the previous year thanks to the growth in computing products and progress of multiple smart devices. Consolidated operating income was NT$ 9,208 million, which was down by 17% compared to 2016. The decline was mainly attributed to the one-time inventory and accounts receivable bad debt losses for Chinese smartphone customers that totaled at NT$ 3,588 million. With non-operating income and income tax accounted for, the net profit attributed to the parent company came to NT$ 5,750 million, with the EPS at NT$ 1.32.
With regards to business development, computing products have benefitted from the trend of commercial replacement demand. Coupled with Compal’s efforts in client cultivation and relevant collaborations in the development of innovative design for products with high added-values, the company has achieved the growth in shipping volumes in 2017 with performance superior to the market and other industry peers. As for non-computing products, after Compal has made breakthrough developments in technology and mass-production for various internet connected devices in 2016, the company initiated more extended collaborations with customers in 2017 to achieve modest progress in the development of Smart Home applications, such as AI speaker and Home gateway, as well as Wearable devices. All in all, Compal’s non-NB business has contributed in excess of 30% of the company’s revenue in 2017 and reached a short-term milestone in Compal’s record of active transition in recent years. Our next step is to ensure further improvement in the company’s profit through better management and efficacy as Compal diversifies its operations.

Honors and Awards
With our continual effort towards innovation, Compal has kept up with its impressive performance in the German iF product designs in 2017 by receiving a total of 43 awards over the past six years, thereby firmly securing Compal’s place in the iF Top 100 Global Innovation Corp. Ranking. Compal’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibilities (CRS) and Corporate Governance has once again been acknowledged by the Gold Medal Award in TCSA given by Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy along with the company’s placement in the top 20% in Corporate Governance Evaluation by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation in 2017. Not only that, Compal is once again selected as a Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Index constituent stock.
2018 Business Outlook
For 2018, Compal will be focusing on a few key developments, including to continue strengthening collaboration with customers to achieve higher market share in the company’s core business in order to attain higher economy of scale; in terms of technology, Compal will invest in the deployment for Artificial Intelligence and next-generation 5G technologies in order to create more opportunities for new product and service development. For manufacturing, we will accelerate automation and optimize the overall processes to achieve better productivity. With regards to management, we will continue to push cross-organization integration and resource sharing while nurturing more talents to achieve our goal of sustainable developments. Looking ahead to the global economy for 2018, while many variables of uncertainty remain at play, after careful assessment of market situations and Compal’s business development, there is a good chance that the total shipping volume of 5C related electronic products could continue the trend of growth as we have seen in 2017. Pertaining to the percentage of revenue from non-NB products, we expect to see continued growth. At the same time, Compal shall persevere to improve upon the company’s organizational fortitude to vie for better leverage in the competition.
New Business Development of Smart Medical
Ever since the company’s foray into the smart medical and healthcare industry in 2015, we have witnessed many collaborations of horizontal alliance unfold. In 2017, Compal unveiled its “Smart Healthcare Solution for Senior Citizens” – a joint-effort with Taoyuan City Government, Department of Social Welfare along with several long-term care centers to serve seniors with smart healthcare technology. At the same time, the company has also developed its “Smart Fitness Solution” to introduce a platform of physical exercise for people of all ages through the use of the featured smart matt to help users incorporate health management into their day-to-day lives. In early 2018, the cooperative program between the Unicore Animal Hospital (operated by Unicore BioMedical Co. Ltd. – a 100%-owned subsidiary of Compal) and National Pingtung University of Science and Technology has been officially commence, while “ iDiabCare® –Remote Healthcare Solution for Chronic Illnesses and Diabetes” developed by Compal’s internal Smart Medical team has also been officially adopted at Changhua Christian Hospital, with more horizontal alliance collaborations currently ongoing. We believe that our investment in Smart medical and healthcare will serve as the next key propellant that drives the company towards long-term growth.

Sincerely yours,
Chairman: Sheng -Hsiun Hsu (Rock Hsu)

■ Forecast for sales for next year and basis for the forecast; potential impact on the Company’s finances and sales in the future and response plan:
Forecast for sales for next year and basis for the forecast
According to the estimates from market intelligence service provider IDC, with regards to PC related products, the global NB PC market, desktop PC market and server market will grow/decline by -1%, -3% and +6% respectively in 2018 compared to the previous year; as for smart wearable products, the global smart phone market, tablet PC market and smart wearable device market will grow/decline by +2%, -6% and +30% in 2018 compared to the previous year. Looking forward 2018, we believe that many factors of uncertainty still remain in the global economic outlook. Considering the state of the market and development of Compal’s main lines of business, we predict that there is a fair chance that Compal’s total shipped quantity of 5C related products for 2018 will still exceed 80 million units (for 2017) and grow beyond that. In addition, we also anticipate the contribution of non-NB PC products to the Company’s revenue to grow further.
Potential impact on the Company’s finances and sales in the future and response plan:
In light of the growth in operation and future investments, the Company has established relevant financial strategies. For Compal’s funding needs for the year, please refer to the section on cash flow analysis for 2018.

7.4.2 Expected Benefits
In light of the opportunities brought by IoT, Compal is in a good position to leverage its hardware manufacturing advantages with its ICT supply chain to develop application service systems with integrated software/hardware and cloud computing to target the domestic market in Taiwan; by creating a classic paradigm from which we optimize relevant software, hardware and service processes, we will be able to build a suite of comprehensive IoT application services. On the other hand, the medical/healthcare industry is still one of the key domains of applications that Compal has been aggressively cultivating. With the experience and capabilities that Compal has accumulated in the domain of ICT in the past, coupled with the investments made in the cultivation of medical and biotechnological talents, the Company has not only established relevant R&D teams in the Company to specialize in the development of smart medicine/fitness equipment/mobile devices and service platforms but also acquired exclusive agency rights to a structured Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system solution in Taiwan (and Southeast Asia) in December 2015. Through the solution, we will be able to acquire relevant big data and apply AI analytics to help doctors make faster and more accurate clinical diagnoses and provide more efficient patient ward services. This will in turn lighten the work load for medical staff, and improve the efficiency and quality of medical care to achieve the vision of digital medical service. As telecommunication technologies become more mature in the foreseeable future, through the application of mobile care, remote consultation and mobile ward rounds combined with wearable devices for biomedical signal monitoring and personal health management, we will be able to build a complete platform for smart medical care. Ultimately, this will help to further the optimization of medical resource allocation and facilitate the integration of medical resources and the realization of precision medical care.
7.5 Investment Policy in the Last Year, Main Causes for Profits or Losses, Improvement Plans and Investment Plans for the Coming Year
(1) Investment policy
-
Competition in the industry has accelerated and Compal is in full thrust integration mode. “Enlightened Living and Computing with a Green Connection” is the Compal vision. Our long-term investment strategies are to focus on products that relate to our core business, to provide the best quality in computing, communications, consumer, cloud and connection, to provide full solutions in cost and technology, and to put emphasis on our partner’s compliance with labor regulations, and the avoidance of human trafficking and slavery. Strengthen the core resources, through vertical integration, diversification, and strategic investments or acquisitions as well as integration and horizontal competition.
-
Improve post investment performance, strengthen the integration of Group resources and strategic partnerships with investment businesses, facilitate the cooperation between the Company and invested
108
business, and require their full compliance with labor regulations and those against human trafficking and slavery. Connect related customers to an information network, and form strategic alliances with other industries. Sustain the performance of operating output in social, economic and environmental aspects using a high standard of specification. This includes increasing the efficiency and productivity, improving the rights of the workers, proper economic development, and environmentally friendly production in a clean operating base. The Company fully supports investment companies with good performance to plan for IPO to accelerate the realization of good return on investment.
(2) Main causes of profits or losses incurred on investments, and any corrective actions planned
The 2017 consolidated profits from investment using the equity method came to approximately NTD 606 million, coming mainly from the performance of Compal Precision Module Co., Ltd and Allied Circuit Co., Ltd.
(3) 2018 investment plans
The long-term investment plan next year will be based on the Company’s operating policy to position ourselves as the pioneer provider of the mobile device solution and provide products, through the integration of R&D resources and clients, of an all-in-one computer, TV, AE and enterprise servers. The Company follows the principle of steady operation and always focuses on our core businesses. We expand on the foundation of our existing businesses, make some vertical integration where appropriate and expand horizontally into related activities, while continuing to grow our core business.
In the vertical integration of upstream and downstream businesses, not involved in hardware production, we also expand the size of our developers and the proportion of softwareand firmware, to increase the value of their tangible assets and bring in value from additional sales.
We expect horizontal mergers and expansions to provide full IoT solutions for our clients which include applications in cross-industry automation, industrial computers, security control, the healthcare industry, cars, smart cities, smart buildings, restaurants and retail outlets, with the primary aim of providing new investment opportunities and challenges.
In practice, apart from achieving internal growth under the existing business framework, we also accept the possibility of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, technical calibrations and investment activities through bilateral or multi-lateral collaboration between business entities.
The Company and its affiliates will proceed with the aforementioned expansion based on the consideration of whether the expansion can strengthen the Group’s advantage and assessment of reasonable risks. In terms of reinvestments, we follow the above mentioned principles and set basic principles in the following three directions:
-
The vertical integration of upstream and downstream businesses to increase the proportion of self-made parts and improve overall competitiveness.
-
Horizontal mergers and expansion of related products and services as well as other industries that provide prominent synergy or growth.
-
Develop technology which is beneficial to the Company or its affiliates, or invest in assets that provide synergy or growth.

7.6 Analysis of Risk Management
7.6.1 Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures
| Unit: NTD thousand;% | Unit: NTD thousand;% |
|---|---|
| Items | 2017 |
| Net interest revenue and expense | (420,595) |
| Net gain on exchange (including valuation of financial instruments) | (2,003,666) |
| Net revenues | 887,656,959 |
| Pre-tax income (Note) | 8,114,277 |
| Net interest revenue/expense to net revenues | (0.047%) |
| Net interest revenue/expense to pre-tax income | (5.183%) |
| Net exchange gains to net revenues | (0.226%) |
| Net exchange gains to pre-tax income | (24.69%) |
1. Interest rate changes:
The most recent U.S. Fed meeting statement revealed steady momentum in the U.S. labor market and that the national economy has been growing at a moderate pace. As such, the federal fund rate has been increased by one quarter point from 1.5% to 1.75% and the market is expecting the Fed to raise the rate further by 2-3 points later in 2018. With regards to the interest rate for NTD, the Central Bank of Taiwan has noted that in light of the steady growth in the domestic economy, relatively mild inflation, and ample market liquidity that contributed to the strength of the currency, the Board of Central Bank of Taiwan has resolved that the bank will maintain the current rate at 1.375%. As of the end of 2017, the Company’s cash balance came to approximately NTD 70.063 billion. The long and short-term bank loans came to about NTD 83.968 billion, with net interest expenses for the year at NTD 420,595 thousand. The amount accounted for 0.047% and 5.183% of the Company’s net sales and income before tax respectively. As of December 31, 2017, should all other factors remain unchanged, the increase of 0.25% in interest will cause a decrease in income before tax of NTD 36,326 thousand. The Company will continue to monitor the change of interest rate closely and respond in a timely manner.
2. Exchange rate changes:
The Company is export-oriented. And as such, the change and movement of exchange rate have a considerable impact on annual profit and loss. To mimimize the impact on the Company’s operating profit/loss, the Company mainly utilizes hedging such as forward foreign exchange contracts and swaps to minimize the risks of exchange rate movements.The full year net exchange gains and losses, including the valuation of financial assets, came to $(2,003,666) thousand, accounting for (0.226%)and (24.69%) of net revenue and net profit before tax respectively. As of December 31, 2017, with all other factors remain unchanged, a 5% appreciation of USD/TWD will increase income before tax by $705,944 thousand. We will take all necessary actions based on the fluctuation of the exchange rate in the future.
3. Inflation:
According to relevant data published by the Central Bank, while imported raw materials such as crude oil are expected to increase in prices this year, the recent growth in NTD has effectively alleviated imported inflation. With domestic demand gradually dwindling, the output gap remained in the negative. The CPI for the year was expected to grow by 1.27% and while CP outlook should remain stable, we will continue to watch for potential impact on prices.
110
7.6.2 Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions
-
The Company does not make high-risk, high-leveraged investments.
-
The Company only offers financing to its related parties, mainly providing short-term financing for their operating needs.
-
The Company is engaged in endorsement and guarantee activities which are only negotiated between subsidiaries and the parent company. The arrangements are covered by proper Endorsement and Guarantee Procedures.
-
The Company uses hedging strategy for assets and liabilities valued in foreign currencies. Such hedging, done through forward foreign exchange contracts and swap trading, covers the amount of net assets and liabilities to achieve the objective of risk aversion. At the end of 2017, the Company’s position in open forward foreign exchange contracts amounted to USD$ 68,500 thousand, EUR 46,000 thousand, and swap contracts of USD$ 29,600 thousand. The Company will continue to pay close attention to changes in exchange rates and execute timely hedging in the future.
-
In addition to prudent evaluation and control of the execution of related policies, the Company also relies on regulations such as “Guidelines for Handling Acquisition and Disposal of Assets”, “Endorsement and Guarantee Procedures”, “Third Party Lending Procedures” and “Procedures for the Handling of Derivatives Trading”.
7.6.3 Future Research & Development Projects and Corresponding Budget
Other than the Company’s efforts in innovation and improvement of computers, TVs, and other peripheral products, the Company also deems innovative research and development works as the niche for the Company’s sustainable growth. Various R&D programs are developed and proposed by R&D team based on their forecast of new technologies, understand of market trends, and intergration of add-on function. They also team with clients to meet their market planning and detail product developments.
In general, the Company’s usually has less than one year product development cycle and aim to shorten the R&D cycle year after year. The IT industry is highly competitive, and the timing of product development is of vital importance. The rapid growth of sales has made the quality, experience and capacity of R&D a decisive factor that will become the key as to whether the Company can achieve its sales target in 2018 and whether the existing clients will renew their contracts. The 2018 R&D expense is expected to be more than NT$ 13.2 billion.
7.6.4 Effects of and Response to Changes in Policies and Regulations Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales
The Company’s management team is paying close attention to any policies or regulations that may impact the Company’s operation. In 2017, the Company made all the necessary responses to significant change in international and domestic policies and regulations, without significant impact on Company operation.
7.6.5 Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and the Industry Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales
The constant arrival of new technology products to replace dated ones has changed the habits of users. This has consequently led to the emergence of different demands, and the development of ARM and Android has also impacted Wintel, which used to monopolize the market. Not only that, the emergence of cloud applications has also resulted in significant changes in the traditional PC market. To cope with these changes, the Company has expanded new businesses to its existing product lines to embrace the latest industrial trends. As such, the Company has established its Innovation Center that is responsible for following and studying the latest developments in market trends. Not only that, the Center is also involved involved in the development of innovative products, technologies and designs to
111
strengthen the Company’s research on consumer behavior and thereby provide more accurate market segregation and product positioning to satisfy user needs. At the same time, we will also focus on boosting our innovative technology capabilities and plans for future product and market opportunities.
7.6.6 The Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Risk Management, and the Company’s Response Measures
Compal has concentrated on the IT and Communications industry for many years and has firmly adhered to our business philosophy of transcendence, sincerity, and harmony in a culture of ethics and honesty. We aim to be the best in world-class professional design, manufacture and services. As we pursue business growth, we always remember our obligations as a corporate citizen. We have strengthened corporate governance, fulfilled corporate social responsibility, and have established a good corporate image. In recent years, Company business has expanded, the number of employees has increased and our global production branches have increased in number. We have become acutely aware of the need for periodic checks of the external environment, a self-management system and operational strategies for the early detection of potential corporate crises and the need for concrete and positive response plans and corrective measures.
For many years, Compal has placed amongst the top 500, top 2000 businesses and top 2000 manufacturers in Taiwan by Fortune, Forbes Magazine and CommonWealth Magazine respectively. In 2017, the Company placed within the top 20% in the TWSE-listed Companies in the 3rd round of “Corporate Governance Evaluation” and the distinction of the Gold Award in the “Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Award” organized by the Taiwan Institute of Sustainable Energy. These prestigious awards once again reaffirmed the Company’s corporate image. There had been no company crisis in 2017 nor was there any significant event that affected the company image in any way.
7.6.7 Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Merger and Acquisition Plans
In addition to continued cultivation of the existing information and communication technology (ICT) operations and enhancement of the core profit base, we are actively seeking out upcoming industries for merger, acquisition, joint venture, technical collaboration and other patterns, with the aim being to move into industrial computing, medical networking, IoT networking, vehicle networking and the medical equipment market. We will maintain stable development of existing business and also move ahead of the curve in other areas which have high growth momentum.
The Company will integrate resources to increase R&D capacity, improve operational efficiency, and increase competitiveness. We expect to benefit from synergy, have positive impact on future shareholder equity, and maintain adequate control of organizational integration matters and financial risks.
7.6.8 Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Factory Expansion Plans: None
-
7.6.9 Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and Excessive Customer Concentration: None
-
7.6.10 Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to Large Share Transfers or Changes in Shareholdings by Directors, Supervisors, or Shareholders with Shareholdings of over 10%: None
7.6.11 Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to the Changes in Management: None
7.6.12 Litigation or Non-litigation Matters
Qualcomm Inc. filed litigation against the Company and its subsidiaries regarding a dispute over payment of royalties for a patent licensed on May 17, 2017; in response, the Company and its subsidiaries filed a counter suit against Qualcomm Inc. in the United States on July 19, 2017 for violation of the antitrust law. The Company has
112
appointed an attorney to handle the aforementioned lawsuit, which is being heard by the United States District Court, Southern District of California. The final outcome of the lawsuit will depend on the proceeding of the lawsuit in the future, but will have no major bearing on the Company and its subsidiaries’ existing operations.
7.6.13 Other Major Risks
International conglomerates face many risks such as regulatory compliance, business competition, localization, and globalization. It is the responsibility of each Company employee to turn such challenges into future opportunity. Ex ante risk identification, weekly risk assessment and prevention, and post-crisis management, have all been added to the Company target management cycle (PDCA), key performance indicators (KPI), and control system for internal use. Such processes allow the dedicated units responsible for these specific risks to establish rigorous and rapid means for response and a problem-solving culture. By working through regular and irregular reviews and combining education, training and a performance risk appraisal system, they can cope with significantly different kinds of risk management based on local conditions. The company was not faced by any significant risk in 2017.

Attachment I
Independent Auditor’s Report
To COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 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 audit 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 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 Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code have been fulfilled. 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 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- Account receivable valuation
Please refer to Note (4)(g) for the accounting policy of accounts receivable. Information of account receivable valuation are shown in Note (6)(g) of the consolidated financial statements.
4-1
Description of key audit matters:
The Group devotes to develop new product lines and customers in emerging countries, and the credit risks of these customers are higher than other world leading enterprises. Therefore, valuation of accounts receivable has been identified as a key audit matter.
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:
In order to evaluate the reasonableness of the Group's estimations for bad debts, our key audit procedures included analyzing the aging of accounts receivable, examining the historical recovery records, and the current credit status of customers, as well as inspecting the amount collected in the subsequent period.
- Inventory valuation
Please refer to Note (4)(h) and Note (5) for the accounting policy of inventory valuation, as well as the estimation and assumption uncertainty of the valuation of inventory, respectively. Information of estimation of the valuation of inventory are disclosed in Note (6)(h) of the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matters:
The inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The short life cycle of electronic products may cause significant changes in customers’ demand and sales of related products. Consequently, the book value of inventory may be lower than the net realizable value of inventory. Therefore, the valuation of inventory is one of the key audit matters.
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:
In order to verify the rationality of assessment of inventory valuation estimated by the Group, our key audit procedures included reviewing the consistency of accounting policy, inspecting the Group's inventory aging reports, analyzing the change of inventory aging, as well as verifying the inventory aging reports and the calculation of lower of cost or net realizable value.
Other Matter
Compal Electronics Inc, has prepared the annual parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as the 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 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.
4-2
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 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:
-
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
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.
4-3
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 Kuan Ying Kuo and Yiu Kwan Au.

Attachment II
Independent Auditor’s Report
To COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC. (“the Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation 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 section of the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code have been fulfilled. 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 financial statements of the current period. 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.
- Account receivable valuation
Please refer to Note (4)(f) for the accounting policy of accounts receivable. Information of account receivable valuation are disclosed in Note (6)(e) of the parent company only financial reports.
Description of key audit matters:
The Company devotes to develop new product lines and customers in emerging countries, and the credit risks of these customers are higher than other world leading enterprises. Therefore, valuation of accounts receivable has been identified as a key audit matter.
3-1
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:
In order to evaluate the reasonableness of the Company’s estimations for bad debts, our key audit procedures included analyzing the aging of accounts receivable, examining the historical recovery records, and the current credit status of customers, as well as inspecting the amount collected in the subsequent period.
2. Inventory valuation
Please refer to Note (4)(g) and Note (5) for the accounting policy of inventory valuation, as well as the estimation and assumption uncertainty of the valuation of inventory, respectively. Information of estimation of the valuation of inventory are disclosed in Note (6)(f) of the parent company only financial reports.
Description of key audit matters:
The inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The short life cycle of electronic products may cause significant changes in customers’ demand and sales of related products. Consequently, the book value of inventory may be lower than the net realizable value of inventory. Therefore, the valuation of inventory is one of the key audit matters.
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:
In order to verify the rationality of assessment of inventory valuation estimated by the Company, our key audit procedures included reviewing the consistency of accounting policy, inspecting the Company’s inventory aging reports, analyzing the change of inventory aging, as well as verifying the inventory aging reports and the calculation of lower of cost or net realizable value.
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.
In preparing the 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 (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s 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 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 financial statements.
3-2
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:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial reports, 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 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 financial reports, including the disclosures, and whether the financial reports represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the financial reports. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be considered to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
3-3
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 reports 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 Kuan Ying Kuo and Yiu Kwan Au.
