REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
Attachment 6
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CHIEFTEK PRECISION CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of CHIEFTEK PRECISION CO., LTD. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
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, 2019 and 2018, 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (R.O.C. GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Adequacy of allowance for valuation loss on individually recognized obsolete or damaged inventories
Description
Refer to Note 4(9) for the accounting policy on inventory, Note 5 for the information of accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation, and Note 6(3) for the details of inventory. As of December 31, 2019, the balances of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses were NT$521,673 thousand and NT$12,240 thousand, respectively.
The Company engages primarily in the manufacture and sales of linear guides and linear blocks. As the end-users require high-quality performances, risk of inventory devaluation or obsolescence could have incurred. The Company measures its inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The net realizable value of the Company’s inventories aged over a certain period is calculated based on the historical extent of inventory clearance and degree of price markdown. The allowance for valuation loss mainly arises from individually identified obsolete inventories, and the procedures of such identification involves subjective judgment, which might result in high degree of estimation uncertainty. Considering that the Company’s inventory and the allowance for inventory valuation losses are material to the financial statements, we, independent accountants, viewed the allowance for inventory valuation loss as one of the key audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed following audit procedures in response to the abovementioned key audit matter:
-
A. We obtained understanding of the Company’s operations and its industry characteristic to assess the reasonableness of the Company’s policies on and procedures for allowance for inventory valuation loss.
-
B. We verified whether the dates used in the inventory aging reports that the Company applied to value inventories were accurate and complete. We recalculated and evaluated the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses in order to confirm whether the reported information was in line with the Company’s policies.
-
C. We selected samples from inventory items by each sequence number to verify its net realizable value and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation loss.
Authenticity of sales revenue
Description
Refer to Note 4(24) for the accounting policy on revenue recognition and Note 6(16) for the details of operating revenue.
The Company sells a variety of linear guides, ball screws and linear modules, and the target market reaches globally, including Taiwan, Asia, Europe, America and so forth. Since the customers are numerous and scattered, and the number of transactions is voluminous, it will take a longer time to verify their authenticity. Thus, we viewed the authenticity of sales revenue as one of the key audit matters for the year.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed following audit procedures in response to the abovementioned key audit matter:
-
A. We confirmed the process of revenue recognition, including reviewing customer basic information and credit limit table, revenue recognition basis, authorizing procedures and collection processes. Also, we selected samples from different customers to evaluate the management’s effectiveness of internal controls over sales revenue recognition.
-
B. We performed a series verification sample test for the sales revenue transactions of the year, including vouching customers’ orders, shipping orders, export declaration documents, customer receipt records and sales invoices or subsequent receipts, to confirm whether the sales revenue transactions really occurred.
-
C. We tested the manual accounting entries recognized for sales revenue, including verifying the transactions nature of the relevant manual entries and checking the relevant supporting documents. For the same purpose, we also checked the relevant supporting documents and the rationality of the debit notes issued after the balance sheet date.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with R.O.C. GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with R.O.C. GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
B. 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.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the parent company only financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
-
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of CHIEFTEK PRECISION CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CHIEFTEK PRECISION CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee Interpretations, and Standing Interpretations Committee Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (R.O.C GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Adequacy of allowance for valuation loss on individually recognized obsolete or damaged inventories
Description
Refer to Note 4(11) for the accounting policy on inventory, Note 5 for the information of accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation, and Note 6(4) for the details of inventory. As of December 31, 2019, the balances of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses were NT$687,120 thousand and NT$49,843 thousand, respectively.
The Group engages primarily in the manufacture and sales of linear guides and linear blocks. As the end-users require high-quality performances, risk of inventory devaluation or obsolescence could have incurred. The Group measures its inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The net realizable value of the Group’s inventories aged over a certain period is calculated based on the historical extent of inventory clearance and degree of price markdown. The allowance for valuation loss mainly arises from individually identified obsolete inventories, and the procedures of such identification involves subjective judgment, which might result in high degree of estimation uncertainty. Considering that the Group’s inventory and the allowance for inventory valuation losses are material to the financial statements, we, independent accountants, viewed the allowance for inventory valuation loss as one of the key audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed following audit procedures in response to the abovementioned key audit matter:
-
A. We obtained understanding of the Group’s operations and its industry characteristic to assess the reasonableness of the Group’s policies on and procedures for allowance for inventory valuation loss.
-
B. We verified whether the dates used in the inventory aging reports that the Group applied to value inventories were accurate and complete. We recalculated and evaluated the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses in order to confirm whether the reported information was in line with the Group’s policies.
-
C. We selected samples from inventory items by each sequence number to verify its net realizable value and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation loss.
Authenticity of sales revenue
Description
Refer to Note 4(25) for the accounting policy on revenue recognition and refer to Note 6(16) for the details of operating revenue.
The Group sells a variety of linear guides, ball screws and linear modules, and the target market reaches globally, including Taiwan, Asia, Europe, America and so forth. Since the customers are numerous and scattered, and the number of transactions is voluminous, it will take a longer time to verify their authenticity. Thus, we viewed the authenticity of sales revenue as one of the key audit matters for the year.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed following audit procedures in response to the abovementioned key audit matter:
-
A. We confirmed the process of revenue recognition, including reviewing customer basic information and credit limit table, revenue recognition basis, authorizing procedures and collection processes. Also, we selected samples from different customers to evaluate the management’s effectiveness of internal controls over sales revenue recognition.
-
B. We performed a series verification sample test for the sales revenue transactions of the year, including vouching customers’ orders, shipping orders, export declaration documents, customer receipt records and sales invoices or subsequent receipts, to confirm whether the sales revenue transactions really occurred.
-
C. We tested the manual accounting entries recognized for sales revenue, including verifying the transactions nature of the relevant manual entries and checking the relevant supporting documents. For the same purpose, we also checked the relevant supporting documents and the rationality of the debit notes issued after the balance sheet date.
Other matter - Parent company only financial statements
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of CHIEFTEK PRECISION CO., LTD. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee Interpretations, and Standing Interpretations Committee Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
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 R.O.C GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with R.O.C GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A. 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.
-
B. 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.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. 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.
-
E. 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.
-
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the consolidated 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.
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.
