EVERGREEN INTERNATIONAL STORAGE & TRANSPORT CORPORATION BUSINESS REPORT OF THE YEAR 2016

1. Business Fulfilment in 2016

The company's consolidated revenue of 2016 is NT\$7.472 billion, 99.68% of target. The net income after tax is NT\$809 million, a decrease of NT\$34 million (4.06%) over the same period the previous year. Earnings per share is NT\$0.76.

To sum up the year 2016, developed countries, including the US and Japan, did not perform as well as expected in the first quarter. Emerging markets and developing countries did not show outstanding performance either. Although the recovery of the Euro zone is stable, the impact of Brexit on EU countries and the global economy is still unfolding. Therefore, the overall economic situation in 2016 is strongly affected by continual uncertainty and high risk.

Looking back on the year 2016, the company faced double pressure from market decline and upstream industries' demands for price reductions. Through strong leadership, the company took a positive attitude toward its operations, ascertained market changes, adjusted operational goals accordingly, and made efforts to expand its business and explore new opportunities. Moreover, to maintain high operational efficiency and satisfy clients' demands for optimal service, the company continued its equipment rejuvenation efforts.

Thanks to falling international oil prices in 2016 and greater investment in technology, which helped improve performance and efficiency, we achieved our cost reduction target. An overview of the company's business areas follows:

(1) Land Transportation Service

Continuing development of CY/CL haulage service and expansion of intercity and tour coach services, which cater to the domestic tourism market.

(2) Container Depot Service

Strengthening the canvassing of empty/laden container handling business, as well as repair and cleaning business, from shipping companies. Strategic alliances with freight forwarders and customs brokers.

Development of inbound and bonded warehouse devanning services. Comprehensive examination and correction of outdated operational fees and warehouse rental rates and adjustment of the rates for new operational models in order to effectively enhance container depot performance.

(3) International Marine Service

Continual investment in the container leasing and ship leasing businesses in response to market demands and to improve the company's profit.

  1. Business Targets and Performance Overview

The company's forecasted consolidated revenue for 2016 is NT\$7.496 billion; the actual revenue is NT\$7.472 billion. The achievement rate is 99.68%. The forecasted EBT is NT\$1.006 billion. Actual EBT is NT\$1.013 billion. The achievement rate is 100.63%.

    1. Financial Revenue and Profit Analysis
  • (1) Financial Revenue

The company's consolidated revenue for 2016 is NT\$7.472 billion, a year-on-year increase of 1.68%. Operational costs are NT\$6.201 billion, a year-on-year increase of 1.58%. Other net expenses are NT\$3 million, a year-on-year decrease of NT\$81 million. EAT is NT\$809 million, a year-on-year decrease of NT\$34 million.

(2) Profit Analysis

2016's return on assets is 2.77%; return on equity is 3.73%; net profit margin is 10.83%; and earnings per share is NT\$0.76.

    1. Research and Development
  • (1) Environmentally-Friendly Fleet

In the area of freight transport, the company continues the rejuvenation of its fleet by phasing out old tractors and purchasing new vehicles with Euro 5 rated engines to help improve air quality and save fuel. In terms of coach services, our buses are fitted with Euro 5 rated engines for environmental protection. We adjust highway bus service timetables and increase the number of shuttle buses to meet market demands and lower CO2 emissions.

(2) Rejuvenation of Equipment at Shichih and Taoyuan Inland Depots

Replacing five old rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTG) and three empty container handlers with new ones to improve operational safety.

(3) Re-planning of Storage Area at Taoyuan and Shichih Inland Depots

Reconstructing rubber-tired gantry crane (RTG) tracks, renovating floor structures, re-planning container slots, and improving the computer management system to make more efficient use of the limited space of the depots.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Evergreen International Storage and Transport Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evergreen International Storage and Transport Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparations 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. 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.

Accuracy of transportation and container yard service revenue

Description

Please refer to Note $4(27)$ for accounting policies on operating revenue, and Note $6(16)$ for details of operating revenue.

The Group is primarily engaged in land container transport, cargo handling, ship and cargo container lease, operation of gasoline station, highway bus and tourist bus carrier. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the total revenue of container transport and container yard service was NT\$2,724,650 thousand, constituting 36.46% of operating revenue in 2016 and were the main source of income. Transportation and container yard service revenue were recognised in the accounting periods in which the services are rendered, the revenue recognition were based on the relevant information (cargo specification, numbers, transportation starting point and destination and cargo handling service types) that were recorded by front service employees and charged for different services by system.

Due to the high numbers of transactions, the services fees of transported or handled containers were different with specification, numbers and the distance between starting point and destination, and the trading amount were small. The information process, recording and maintenance of relevant business statement were done partly manually, and may lead to inaccurate calculation of transport and container yard service revenue. As a result, more audit staff were required to perform the procedures. Also, the amount of revenue was material to the financial statements, thus we consider the accuracy of transportation and container yard service revenue a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  • A. Based on our understanding of the Group's business and industry, we assessed the reasonableness of revenue recognition policies and procedures and confirmed that these were consistently applied in the financial statements:
  • $B.$ We obtained an understanding of the transportation process, and assessed and tested relevant internal controls, including the information of container specification, numbers and transportation starting point and destination in handover statement which was recorded by drivers, agreed with the information in the computer system and operating statement;

  • We understood the process of container vard service, and assessed and tested relevant internal $C_{\cdot}$ controls, including the information of container specification, numbers and cargo handling service types in the statement which was prepared by the Group personnel, were consistent with customers' shipping accounts; and

  • We verified the accuracy of operating statement which was used in revenue recognition by D. management, including randomly checking the charge fees in the operating statement and work content against with charges of services types, daily transportation statement and cargo handling statement generated by the computer system, to recalculate the accuracy and ascertained that these were consistent with the carrying amount of revenue.

Valuation of property, plant and equipment impairment

Description

Please refer to Note $4(14)$ for accounting policies on property, plant and equipment, Note $5(2)$ for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on property, plant and equipment impairment valuation, and Note 6(6) for details of property, plant and equipment.

As of December 31, 2016, the amount of ships and transportation equipment held by the Group for ship and container lease business was NT\$16,466,242 thousand and recognised as property, plant and equipment, constituting 48.72% of consolidated total assets. Management assessed whether the property, plant and equipment were impaired using the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit. The assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount estimate was subjected to management's judgment and involves a high degree of uncertainty, and included discount rate, expected growth rate of operating revenue, gross profit ratio, operating profit ratio, capital expenditure. As the assessed results of recoverable amount were material to the financial statements, thus we consider the valuation of property, plant and equipment impairment a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  • A. We understood and assessed policies, internal controls and processes that were related with asset impairment valuation;
  • $B.$ We interviewed management on the impairment valuation report, and assessed the discount rate and the reasonableness of operating revenue, gross profit ratio, operating profit ratio, growth rate and capital expenditure that were used in the estimation of future cash flow, including review of the basic information of such assumptions. Also, we ascertained that the documents had been approved by appropriate management, reviewed the actual execution of management's past operating plan, and compared with industry forecast to assess the intention and ability; and
  • $C_{\cdot}$ We checked the inputted value of valuation model, the setting of formulation, and recalculated the accuracy of valuation model calculation result.

Fair value measurement of investment in unlisted stock without active market

Description

Please refer to Note 4(7) for accounting policies on available-for-sale financial assets, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on financial assets-fair value measurement of investment in unlisted stock without active market, Note 6(2) for details of available-for-sale financial assets, and Note 12(3) for fair value information of financial instruments.

As of December 31,2016, the Group held unlisted stock without active market which was recognised as available-for-sale financial assets in the amount of NT\$513,897 thousand, and recognised other comprehensive income for fair value change on the measurement date. Management measured the fair value using market method, the valuation process included the choice of measurement method, references to market value information of comparable company in valuation model, consideration of market liquidity and discount of specific risk.

As the estimate of fair value of unlisted stock without active market was subjected to management's judgment, and involved many assumptions, such as the choice of valuation model and parameters setting, any changes in judgments and estimates would effect the final result of accounting estimates and thus contains uncertainty. We consider financial assets- fair value measurement of investment in unlisted stock without active market a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  • We understood and assessed relevant policies and valuation process on the fair value measurement $A1$ and disclosure of unlisted stock without active market;
  • $B1$ We assessed whether management adopted an adequate measurement method and valuation model which were commonly adopted in the same industry; and
  • We assessed the reasonableness of assumptions on comparable company and parameters setting, $C_{\cdot}$ including the relevance and reliability of business nature and financial information between comparable company and the company being valued, and reviewed relevant basic data and corroborating documents.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Evergreen International Storage and Transport Corporation as at and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

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 Preparations 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, 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 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:

    1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • $2.$ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting $3.$ estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • $\overline{4}$ . Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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.

    1. 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.
    1. 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 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 Shareholders of Evergreen International Storage and Transport Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Evergreen International Storage and Transport Corporation (the "Company") as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, 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 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparations" 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 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 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Accuracy of transportation and container yard service revenue

Description

Please refer to Note $4(26)$ for accounting policies on operating revenue, and Note $6(15)$ for details of operating revenue.

The Company is primarily engaged in land container transport, cargo handling, operation of gasoline station, highway bus and tourist bus carrier. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the total revenue of container transport and container yard service was NT\$2,724,650 thousand, constituting 61.71% of operating revenue in 2016 and were the main source of income. Transportation and container yard service revenue were recognised in the accounting periods in which the services are rendered, the revenue recognition were based on the relevant information (cargo specification, numbers, transportation starting point and destination and cargo handling service types) that were recorded by front service employees and charged for different services by system.

Due to the high numbers of transactions, the services fees of transported or handled containers were different with specification, numbers and the distance between starting point and destination, and the trading amount were small. The information process, recording and maintenance of relevant business statement were done partly manually, and may lead to inaccurate calculation of transport and container yard service revenue. As a result, more audit staff were required to perform the procedures. Also, the amount of revenue was material to the financial statements, thus we consider the accuracy of transportation and container yard service revenue a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  • Based on our understanding of the Company's business and industry, we assessed the A. reasonableness of revenue recognition policies and procedures and confirmed that these were consistently applied in the financial statements;
  • B. We obtained an understanding of the transportation process, and assessed and tested relevant internal controls, including the information of container specification, numbers and transportation starting point and destination in handover statement which was recorded by drivers, agreed with the information in the computer system and operating statement;

  • We understood the process of container vard service, and assessed and tested relevant internal $C_{\cdot}$ controls, including the information of container specification, numbers and cargo handling service types in the statement which was prepared by the Company personnel, were consistent with customers' shipping accounts; and

  • D. We verified the accuracy of operating statement which was used in revenue recognition by management, including randomly checking the charge fees in the operating statement and work content against with charges of services types, daily transportation statement and cargo handling statement generated by the computer system, to recalculate the accuracy and ascertained that these were consistent with the carrying amount of revenue.

Subsidiaries/investments accounted for using equity method- valuation of property, plant and equipment impairment

Description

Please refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policies on investments accounted for using equity method, and Note 6(5) for details of investments accounted for using equity method.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company held 100% equity of Gaining Enterprise S.A. and recognised as investments accounted for using equity method of NT\$10,919,029 thousand, constituting 42.91% of total assets. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognised gain on investments amounting to NT\$456,079 thousand, constituting 44.96% of profit before tax.

As of December 31, 2016, the amount of ships and transportation equipment held by subsidiary company, Gaining Enterprise S.A., for ship and container lease business was NT\$15,464,095 thousand and recognised as property, plant and equipment, constituting 80.26% of total assets. Management assessed whether the property, plant and equipment were impaired using the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit. The assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount estimate was subjected to management's judgement and involves a high degree of uncertainty, and included discount rate, expected growth rate of operating revenue, gross profit ratio, operating profit ratio, capital expenditure. As the assessed results of recoverable amount were material to the recognised amount of investments accounted for using equity method, thus we consider the valuation of property, plant and equipment impairment of Gaining Enterprise S.A. a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  • A. We understood and assessed policies of Gaining Enterprise S.A., internal controls and processes that were related with assets impairment valuation;
  • $B1$ We interviewed management on the impairment valuation report, and assessed the discount rate and the reasonableness of operating revenue, gross profit ratio, operating profit ratio, growth rate and capital expenditure that were used in the estimation of future cash flow, including review of the basic information of such assumptions. Also, we ascertained that the documents had been approved by appropriate management, reviewed the actual execution of management's past operating plan, and compared with industry forecast to assess the intention and ability; and
  • $C_{\cdot}$ We checked the inputted value of valuation model, the setting of formulation, and recalculated the accuracy of valuation model calculation result.

Fair value measurement of investment in unlisted stock without active market

Description

Please refer to Note $4(6)$ for accounting policies on available-for-sale financial assets, Note $5(2)$ for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions applied on financial assets-fair value measurement of investment in unlisted stock without active market, Note 6(2) for details of available-for-sale financial assets, and Note 12(3) for fair value information of financial instruments.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company held unlisted stock without active market which was recognised as available-for-sale financial assets in the amount of NT\$385,127 thousand, and recognised other comprehensive income for fair value change on the measurement date. Management measured the fair value using market method, the valuation process included the choice of measurement method, references to market value information of comparable company in valuation model, consideration of market liquidity and discount of specific risk.

As the estimate of fair value of unlisted stock without active market was subjected to management's judgement, and involved many assumptions, such as the choice of valuation model and parameters setting, any changes in judgements and estimates would effect the final result of accounting estimates and thus contains uncertainty. We consider financial assets- fair value measurement of investment in unlisted stock without active market a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  • We understood and assessed relevant policies and valuation process on the fair value measurement A. and disclosure of unlisted stock without active market;
  • $B1$ We assessed whether management adopted an adequate measurement method and valuation model which were commonly adopted in the same industry; and
  • $C_{\cdot}$ We assessed the reasonableness of assumptions on comparable company and parameters setting, including the relevance and reliability of business nature and financial information between comparable company and the company being valued, and reviewed relevant basic data and corroborating documents.

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 Preparations 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 supervisors, 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 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • $11$ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • $2.$ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting $31$ estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • $\overline{4}$ . Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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.
    1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the 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 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.
