Appendix 1
Business Report
In 2019, the world economy remained affected by the US-China trade war and overall market demand declined, which caused economic uncertainties and weakened overall investor confidence. Despite difficulties and challenges in the business environment, Delta achieved growth in terms of annual revenue and gross profit, thanks to all of Delta’s team members’ collective efforts. Delta’s consolidated revenue in 2019 was NT$268.1 billion, a 13% increase from the previous year; gross profit was NT$74.5 billion; and gross profit margin was 27.8%, 17% higher than the previous year. The net operating profit was NT$19.4 billion, with a net operating profit margin of 7.2% that increased by 7% compared to the previous year. Net income after tax was NT$23.1 billion, with a net after-tax profit margin of 8.6%, which showed an increase of 27% compared to the previous year. In 2019, Delta’s earnings per share (EPS) was NT$8.90, and return on equity (ROE) ratio was 17.10%.
In order to strengthen global production and sales deployment, as well as increase sales locations, improve manufacturing and shipping flexibility, and reduce operational risks due to the international trade war, Delta has obtained a majority shareholdings in Delta Electronics (Thailand) Public Company Limited (DET), a listed company in Thailand, since April 2019 and has adjusted its production lines. In line with its business growth, Delta plans to increase investments in Thailand and India in the future to supply local markets and implement despersion manufacturing. These initiatives would help Delta become more flexible in coping with changes in the international market, get a head start on a competitive business environment, and further expand its global business footprint.
Here is a summary of Delta’s performance in various business fields in 2019 and future prospects:
Power Electronics
Delta has prospered greatly from the results of its business development in power electronics over the years. Not only is it the world’s leader in power supplies, brushless DC fans, and miniaturized key components, but it has also been recognized as the “ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for four consecutive years. In addition, Delta has received the “Sustained Excellence Award” for two consecutive years. To be nominated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is quite a feat since companies must achieve ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year long-term. This award recognizes the excellent energy-saving features of the Delta’s Breez ventilation fans. Moreover, it recognizes Delta’s long-term commitment to improving energy efficiency.
Delta has been involved in automobile electronics for over a decade. Delta collaborated with the U.S. Department of Energy to explore wide-band gap-based bidirectional on-board charger modules in 2017, which enable vehicle-to-load capabilities. Delta’s performance in the electronic vehicle industry is also recognized by the world’s leading car manufacturer, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Delta was presented the “2019 Powertrain Supplier of the Year” award in Detroit, USA, which highlights its close collaboration with FCA.
The power electronics business has contributed to Delta’s revenue and profits for many years. In the future, Delta plans to continuously innovate based on its solid foundation in power electronics and control technology, as well as provide more energy-saving and intelligent products, while fulfilling its corporate mission “To provide innovative, clean and energy-efficient solutions for a better tomorrow.”
20
Automation
Delta has developed its industrial automation business for more than 20 years. From providing high quality and high-efficiency automation equipment in the early stages to developing and manufacturing highly intelligent products such as industrial robots, robotic visual systems, PLCs, CNC motion control, and others, Delta has been helping customers in the automotive industry with a variety of visualized control platforms and factory management systems, including Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). In 2019, Delta provided an integrated solution for wireless communication applications, control, and drives for CNC machine tool manufacturers by connecting their warehouse systems and production line equipment. Delta also provided machine industry customers a visualized system platform and machine solutions by connecting all machining equipment for immediate collection, monitoring, and analysis of data.
To ensure a high degree of competitiveness in intelligent manufacturing and to improve Delta’s manufacturing quality while satisfying customers’ various needs, Delta began a series of in-house intelligent transformation projects starting with product research and development design (first stage), followed by assessment and trial production (second stage), and production planning (final stage). Delta introduced around 1300 intelligent automation devices to China’s production base in 2019, which reduced direct labor by 16% compared to that of 2018. In terms of its overall intelligent transformation, Delta has included 80% of its China production lines in the Company’s intelligent manufacturing plans as of 2019.
Building automation is one of Delta’s long-term strategies for business development. In addition to Delta Controls, Loytec, and Vivotek Inc., in 2019 Delta acquired Amerlux, a high-end commercial lighting solutions provider in North America. With the said acquisition, Delta is set to accelerate the process of developing smart buildings and providing solutions for sustainable cities, further expanding its global business footprint in building automation.
With the impact of the US-China trade war, the Chinese automation market remained stagnant in 2019. However, given the rigid market demand due to improving industrial structure and intelligent manufacturing, we believe that Delta’s automation business will continue to be a main source of growth for the Company in the long-term.
Infrastructure
With the rapid development of global internet services and cloud computing, there has been an increasing need for big data applications, which drives dynamic infrastructure related to data center construction. In 2019, Delta collaborated with Alibaba to launch a “Panama Power Solution” with a high voltage DC power supply. Compared with the traditional data center, panama power subverts the traditional IDC power supply structure. Delta creatively infuses the circuit and magnetic circuit, changing medium voltage 10KV AC directly to 240V DC without the traditional multiple repeaters that introduce medium voltage to direct current, thus completing the power supply in one step with higher efficiency and reliability. Delta saves on the amount of equipment and construction required by up to 40%, improves power supply efficiency of the data center by 3%, and reduces the total investment cost of power supplies by 20%.
Global telecommunication operators are actively preparing networks for the coming of 5G mobile communication. Delta’s communication power systems yield 98% energy conversion efficiency and reduce the cost of energy consumption by 12%. Delta’s lithium batteries that are charged at night and discharged during the day can be used to save electricity or cut peak power. Delta’s power supply and lithium battery products with IP65 protection level can reduce construction time by 70%, support fast miniaturization for 5G, and meet flexible expansion requirements in the future.
21
In terms of infrastructure, there is a consistent growing demand for distributed energy equipment. Delta provides a variety of infrastructure solutions using innovative technology that helps cities and transportation systems achieve their low-carbon energy transformations. In 2019, Delta provided a complete energy storage system solution for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine & Turbocharger, Ltd. (MHIET), a company under Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. The system is currently used in the triple-power demonstration power station of MHIET’s factory in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Delta has achieved a lower cost for its distribution system through a combination of three types of power: renewable energy, reciprocating generators, and storage batteries for stabilizing the volatile output of renewable energy.
At Delta, we care not only about developing new business and new technologies, but also about managing our company in accordance with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards, and we appointed a Chief Sustainability Officer in 2019. Delta has been listed in the “Dow Jones Sustainability™ World Index” for nine consecutive years. We were also recognized as an industry leader for the fourth time in 2019 and acknowledged by CDP in 2016, 2017, and 2019 for the Climate Change Program. In addition, Delta was included in Forbes Magazine’s Global 2000, FTSE4Good TIP Taiwan ESG Index, and MSCI Taiwan ESG Leaders Index in 2019. Delta also received the top “CSR Corporate Citizen Award” from Commonwealth Magazine, earned eight major recognitions in 2019 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards, and the world-class 2019 Global Corporate Sustainability award. Delta has been listed as one of Taiwan’s top 20 international brands for nine consecutive years. Delta’s brand value increased by 12% compared to that of 2018, which indicates its growing strength as a major industrial brand among other nominees.
Over the years, Delta has moved forward with a clear and stable long-term strategic vision, backed by the hardworking team amid a changing and challenging global environment.
We thank all of our loyal clients, shareholders and partners for their continued support. Our management team continues to work alongside our colleagues towards achieving our goals. While pursuing its operational performance objectives and profit goals, Delta is also invested in corporate social responsibility, making it an internationally-respected company that employees can truly be proud of.

Appendix 2
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Delta Electronics, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Delta Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) as at 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, based on our audits and the audit reports of other independent accountants as described in the Other Matter - Scope of the Audit section of our report, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only 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 (ROC 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. Based on our audits and the audit reports of other independent accountants, 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 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.
23
Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Assessment of the reasonableness of the purchase price allocation for business combination
Description
In April 2019, the subsidiary of the Company publicly acquired 42.85% of Delta Electronics (Thailand) Public Company Limited through a tender offer and obtained control over it. Such business acquisition was recognised as investment accounted for under equity method in the balance sheet.
As the allocation of goodwill and the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities are based on management’s assessment and involve accounting estimations and assumptions, we consider the above equity price allocation transaction a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We obtained an understanding of the basis and process of purchase price allocation which was estimated by management. We reviewed the reasonableness of the fair value assessment for assets acquired and liabilities assumed, projected cash flow, and the fair value calculation model as indicated in the purchase price allocation reports prepared by the appraisers appointed by the Company. Our procedures also included the following:
-
A. Assessing the setting of parameters of valuation models and calculation formulas;
-
B. Comparing expected growth rates and gross margin with historical data, economic and industry forecasts; and
-
C. Comparing the discount rate with the cost of capital assumptions of cash generating units and rate of return of similar assets.
Impairment assessment of investments accounted for under equity method
Description
As at December 31, 2019, the recognised goodwill as a result of investment of Delta Electronics (Thailand) Public Company Limited, Cyntec Co., Ltd., Eltek AS, Delta Controls Inc., Loy Tec electronics GmbH and Delta Greentech (China) Co., Ltd. is material. Refer to Note 5 for accounting estimates of impairment assessment of investments accounted for under equity method and the uncertainty of assumptions.
As the balance of investment accounted for under equity method is material, the valuation model
24
adopted in the impairment assessment has an impact in determining the recoverable amount which involves the significant accounting estimates and prediction of future cash flows. Thus, we consider the impairment assessment of investment accounted for under equity method a key audit matter. How our audit addressed the matter
We obtained management’s impairment assessment of investments accounted for under equity method, obtained an understanding of the process in determining the expected future cash flows based on each cash generating unit, and performed the following audit procedures:
-
A. Assessing whether the valuation models adopted by the Company are reasonable for the industry, environment and the valued assets of the Company;
-
B. Confirming whether the expected future cash flows adopted in the valuation model are in agreement with the budget provided by the business units; and
-
C. Assessing the reasonableness of material assumptions, such as expected growth rates, operating margin and discount rates, by:
-
(a) Checking the setting of parameters of valuation models and calculation formulas;
-
(b) Comparing the expected growth rate and operating margin with historical data, economic and industrial forecast documents; and
-
(c) Comparing the discount rate with cost of capital assumptions of cash generating units and rates of return of similar assets.
– Other matter Scope of the Audit
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under equity method and information on investees disclosed in Note 13. These investments accounted for under equity method amounted to NT$24,269,195 thousand and NT$14,483,106 thousand, constituting 12.03% and 8.18% of total assets as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method and share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method was NT$1,677,887 thousand and NT$454,932 thousand, constituting 7.57% and 2.42% of total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements and the information disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.
25
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 the 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 audit committee, 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 ROC 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC 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;
26
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; and
F.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the 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 year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law
27
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.

Appendix 3
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Delta Electronics, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delta Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at 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, based on our audits and the audit reports of the other independent accountants as described in the Other Matter - Scope of the Audit section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 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, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC 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 (ROC 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. Based on our audits and the audit reports of other independent accountants, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
36
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:
Assessment of the reasonableness of the purchase price allocation for business combination
Description
In April 2019, the Group publicly acquired 42.85% of Delta Electronics (Thailand) Public Company Limited through a tender offer and obtained control over the Company. The value of intangible assets, inclusive of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets-premium on customer relationship, etc., acquired from the merger is significant. The merger was accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3, “Business Combination”. For details of purchase price allocation, refer to Note 6(30).
As the allocation of goodwill and the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities are based on management’s estimation and involve accounting estimations and assumptions, we consider the above equity price allocation transaction a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We obtained an understanding of the basis and process of purchase price allocation which was estimated by management. We reviewed the reasonableness of the fair value assessment for assets acquired and liabilities assumed, projected cash flow, and the fair value calculation model as indicated in the purchase price allocation reports prepared by the appraisers appointed by the Group. Our procedures also included the following:
A. Assessing the setting of parameters of valuation models and calculation formulas;
- B. Comparing expected growth rates and gross margin with historical data, economic and industry forecasts; and
37
- C. Comparing the discount rate with the cost of capital assumptions of cash generating units and rate of returns of similar assets.
Impairment assessment of goodwill
Description
As at December 31, 2019, the recognised goodwill as a result of acquisitions of Delta Electronics (Thailand) Public Company Limited, Eltek AS, Cyntec Co., Ltd., Delta Controls Inc., Delta Greentech (China) Co., Ltd. and Loy Tec electronics GmbH amounted to NT$51,555,322 thousand, constituting 16.58% of consolidated total assets. Refer to Notes 5(2) and 6(12) for details.
As the balance of goodwill acquired from the merger is material, the valuation model adopted in the impairment assessment has an impact in determining the recoverable amount which involves the significant accounting estimates and prediction of future cash flows. Thus, we consider the impairment assessment of goodwill a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We obtained management’s impairment assessment of goodwill, obtained an understanding of the process in determining the expected future cash flows based on each cash generating unit, and performed the following audit procedures:
-
A. Assessing whether the valuation models adopted by the Group are reasonable for the industry, environment and the valued assets of the Group;
-
B. Confirming whether the expected future cash flows adopted in the valuation model are in agreement with the budget provided by the business units; and
-
C. Assessing the reasonableness of material assumptions, such as expected growth rates, operating margin and discount rates, by:
-
(a) Checking the setting of parameters of valuation models and calculation formulas;
-
(b) Comparing the expected growth rate and operating margin with historical data, economic and industrial forecast documents; and
-
(c) Comparing the discount rate with cost of capital assumptions of cash generating units and rate of returns of similar assets.
38
– Other matter Scope of the Audit
We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for under equity method that are included in the consolidated financial statements. Total assets of the subsidiaries amounted to NT$56,952,036 thousand and NT$9,917,275 thousand, constituting 18.31% and 3.79% of consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and operating revenue was NT$45,582,501 thousand and NT$10,568,370 thousand, constituting 17.00% and 4.46% of consolidated total operating revenue for the years then ended, respectively. The balance of investment accounted for under equity method was NT$0 thousand and NT$8,154,777 thousand, constituting 0% and 3.11% of consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method and share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method was NT$429,060 thousand and NT$204,169 thousand, constituting 1.80% and 1.06% of consolidated total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements and information disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.
– Other matter Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion with other matter section on the parent company only financial statements of Delta Electronics, Inc. as at 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, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC 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,
39
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 audit committee, 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 ROC 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 ROC 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
40
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; and
F. 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.
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 year 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.
