ENNOSTAR Inc. 2022 Business Report
First of all, I would like to thank all shareholders for their support to Ennostar Inc. in the past year. In 2022, the global environment rapidly changed, and the outbreak of various crises such as the COVID19 pandemic and the Russia–Ukraine War had a major impact on the global economy and supply chains. The consolidated revenue of the Group in 2022 is about NT$28.878 billion, a decrease of 20.72% over that of 2021. The net operating loss is NT$466 million, the net profit attributable to the owners of the parent company is NT$38 million, and the basic earnings per share (EPS) is NT$0.05. Although Ennostar was substantially affected compared with the previous year, the crisis may be a turnaround opportunity itself. We always believe that having enterprise resilience and improving risk management awareness are essential in times of severe turbulence.
Starting from core competence to carry out multi-disciplinary layout, and strengthening enterprise resilience to become the best compound semiconductor investment platform
In order to cultivate the resilience of enterprises in the event of environmental fluctuations, and reduce the damage caused by the crisis, Ennostar and its partners have worked together in stabilizing the core businesses and conducting multi-party layout through the advance-deployment risk prevention strategy, in order to reduce the proportion of applications vulnerable to market fluctuations, and transfer our efforts to areas related to the industry but with high stability and high potential. Therefore, at the time of establishment, Ennostar focused its business layout on applications with high added value, such as next-generation displays, automotive products, sensors and special lighting, extended its core capabilities to III-V compound semiconductors’ epitaxy and manufacturing process, and actively developed the next-generation compound semiconductor foundry, so as to become the best compound semiconductor investment platform.
1. Next-Generation Displays
Thanks to the vigorous promotion and application of many international terminal brands, the mini LED market has entered the fast lane of development. The Group is happy to see the emergence of a large number of new products, and has full confidence in seizing the market share of mini LEDs. At the same time, the Group is still on the move to make deployment in the next-generation micro LEDs of high-end display technology. With the experience of mass production of mini LEDs, the Group has planned its micro LED plant and related equipment in advance, and mastered the key technology of mass production. At the initial stage, the Group will focus on large-scale applications such as large display screens and high-end televisions as well as small-size wearable device applications, and is devoted to the early development of the next stage of automotive displays and VR and AR. In the past two years, the micro LED related
~7~
supply chain has gradually taken shape; from chips, massive transfer, panel integrated driver ICs to terminal brand customers, Ennostar will continue advancing with its partners, actively consolidate industrial advantages, create a new vision of display, and actively prepare for mass production.
- Automotive Products
The Group has been in the automotive market for many years. In recent years, it has developed diversified and forward-looking automotive products with its partners, including supplying mini LEDs together with large panel manufacturers to international car manufacturers. It is estimated that the product will begin to contribute to the revenue in the first half of 2023. The characteristics of mini LEDs such as high contrast, high brightness and design flexibility can significantly improve the visual experience of driving, and it is believed that it will become an important display technology for car manufacturers. With the introduction of LEDs into vehicle lighting which has become the trend, the Group’s vehicle lighting products, such as ADB smart headlights and interior atmosphere lights, in addition to adhering to the consistent principle of high quality and high technology, have moved towards customization and intelligence in response to market demand. The Group also continues deepening the applications of vehicle sensing technology, such as the driving monitoring system (DMS), advanced driving assistance system (ADAS), gesture recognition and range laser radar, and is committed to providing a humanized and safe road and driving environment.
3. Sensors
The sensor market demand has been diversified in recent years, and Ennostar has actively invested in related sensing technologies. After investing in Tyntek Corporation to strengthen the light-receiving technology, the Group’s sensor layout has become more comprehensive to meet the diverse needs of light source sensing. In addition to the original near-infrared products, the Group further explored the derivative applications of wearable devices, developed short-wave infrared crystals with low voltage, high-efficiency output and high reliability, and created the SWIR technology which ranks number one in the world in terms of luminous power. In the future, the Group will continue increasing the scale of mass production to meet the market demand for sensing applications.
- Special Lighting
The Group focuses on niche lighting markets such as plant cultivation, human factors and medical applications, and aims at lighting development with small market fluctuation and countercyclical advantages. Plant lighting, which is not limited by the field of use, has the characteristics of high yield and high controllability, and is greatly favored by the market. In terms of medical application, with the improvement of post-pandemic healthcare awareness, the Group’s UVC LED integration scheme covers various air, surface and static water sterilization applications, and the Group has introduced many internationally famous brands which can meet the all-round sterilization demand of the market.

New-generation compound semiconductors
-
Unikorn Semiconductor Corporation among the three subsidiaries of Ennostar has the core capabilities of the epitaxy and process of III-V compound semiconductors, focusing on the two fields of optoelectronic components and microelectronics applications. In recent years, it has also accelerated the development of applications such as electric vehicles and fast charging and power converters based on the concept of sustainability and green energy-saving products. With the vigorous development of 5G communication, BAW filter elements will also be its focus of development.
Ennostar Incorporates ESG While Moving Forward to Create Its Sustainable Excellence Formula
2022 is the second anniversary of Ennostar, and various technologies have been on the track of realization. At the same time, 2022 is also its first ESG year, and Ennostar expects to develop ESG by integrating its core capabilities, in order to enable the Group to create the power of “well-being” from the inside out, internalize ESG into the Group’s DNA, and create the exclusive sustainable equation of Ennostar.
As a member of global citizens, Ennostar is accelerating its promotion of various ESG affairs to implement the sustainable operation of the enterprise. In 2022, Ennostar won the silver award of Sustainability Report in its first participation in the Taiwan Enterprise Sustainability Award, and its three major subsidiaries, Epistar Corporation, Lextar Electronics Corp. and Unikorn Semiconductor Corporation, also passed the greenhouse gas Inventory of the British Standards Institute (BSI) and obtained the ISO 14064-1 certification in the same year. The Group also plans to expand its green power procurement contracts or relevant green power certificates, and expects to achieve the goals of non-production zone RE100 in 2030 and the whole Group’s green power RE100 in 2050.
In order to achieve sustainable operation, an enterprise needs to achieve win-win results in terms of its sustainable concept and technical operation. In 2022, Ennostar worked with the First Bank for a 5-year syndication loan of NT$13 billion; the funds will not only be used to enrich the working capital of Ennostar and repay loans from financial institutions, but also provide the capital for the construction of the micro LED factory and machinery of Epistar, Ennostar’s subsidiary. Ennostar also designed ESG (environmental protection, social participation and corporate governance) sustainability indicators in the perspective of sustainability and incorporated them into the credit terms, and continues increasing the use of green energy through the factory and machinery built with the funds of the loan in order to create sustainable excellence.
~9~
To improve economy and reduce the impact on the environment at the same time, the Group will also promote circular economy in a long-term manner and strive to develop more efficient and energy-saving products. In recent years, the Group has successively cooperated with relevant business operators to enable the waste generated from operation to enter a new cycle for reuse, so as to recycle the resources, extend the service life, reduce the environmental pollution caused by the exploitation of new resources, and create a perfect business model of circular economy. Ennostar will continue its efforts in corporate governance, social participation and environmental protection, strengthen the enterprise resilience, create irreplaceable market positioning, and achieve its business objective of sustainable excellence.

Securities by way of Private Placement in 2022
| Attachment 4 | ENNOSTAR Inc. Securities by way of Private Placement in 2022 |
|---|---|
| Item | 2022 First private placement of common stock Issue date was August 31,2022(deliverydate). |
| Types of Securitiesprivately placed | Common shares |
| Approval date and number of shares | Approval date: May 31, 2022 Number of shares:Within the limit of 70,000 thousand shares |
| The Pricing Basis and Reasonableness | 1. The price for issuing ordinary shares in the Proposed Private Placement was set to be the price determined by the following calculation, whichever is higher. The reference price was NTD 57.57. (1) The simple arithmetical average closing price of the ordinary shares of the Company on any of the first, third or fifth trading day prior to the pricing date, after deducting the value of bonus shares issued as stock dividends and cash dividends, and adding back the value of the shares cancelled in connection with capital reduction. These prices were NTD 49.45, NTD 50.38, and NTD 50.51. The average closing price, NTD 50.51, of the fifth trading day prior to the pricing date was considered as the basis price. (2) The simple arithmetical average closing price, NTD 57.57, of the ordinary shares of the Company for thirty trading days prior to the pricing date, after deducting the value of bonus shares issued as stock dividends and cash dividends, and adding back the value of shares cancelled in connection with capital reduction was considered as the basis price. 2. The price for issuing ordinary shares in the Proposed Private Placement shall not be lower than 80% of the reference price. The actual private placement price, NTD 51.82, was 90% of the reference price abiding by the resolution of shareholders meeting. 3. The subscription price of this private placement should be reasonable based on the company's future prospects, the fact that the timing, counterparties and quantity of private placement securities are strictly limited, no retrospective public offering within three years, poor liquidityand other factors. It would have no significant influence on the rights and benefits of shareholders. |
| The Method for Selecting Investors | The selection method is to have a good understanding of the Company's operation, industrial development and directly or indirectly to contribute benefit to the future operation of the Company. |
~13~
| Necessity and of Private Placement | If the strategic partners purchase the Company’s shares from the market, this action could not ease the Group’s capital needs produced by the CAPEX for factory construction and production equipment. If the Company adopts public placement, the Company should observe shares for employees and public subscription in accordance with Article 267 of the Company Act and Article 28-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act. In addition, if the shares of subscription reach 10% of total issued shares, the Company should lift the amount of cash capital increase to overly exaggerate capital and ask existing shareholders to waive the subscription rights to allow the specific counterparties to subscribe. The uncertainty goes higher. In contrast to public placement, the fact that private placement of common stock has the advantage of quick and easy fund raising and the restriction of non-transferability within three years will further ensure the long-term collaboration between the Company and the counterparties, as well as the confidentiality of technology patents. Therefore,financingthrough thisprivateplacement could increase the flexibilityof fundingsources. |

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ENNOSTAR Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 reports of other independent auditors, as described in the other matters 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, 2022 and 2021, 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent auditors of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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.
The key audit matters in relation to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are outlined as follows:
Evaluation of Inventories
Description
Please refer to Note 4(14) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for the accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to inventory valuation, Note 6(6) for the explanations regarding inventory valuation. As of December 31, 2022, the balances of inventories and the allowance for valuation loss were NT$5,687,552 thousand and NT$862,507 thousand, respectively. The Group is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of LED wafers, chips, packages and models. Due to rapid technological developments, short product lifespans and frequent fluctuations of market prices, the risk of decline in market value and obsolescence for inventories is high. The Group evaluates net realized values for inventories which aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories in order to provide allowance for valuation loss. Since the identification of the above obsolete inventories and their respective net realizable values are subject to management’s judgment, it was identified as one of the key audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:
-
Obtained an understanding of the Group’s operations and the nature of its industry and interviewed with management to understand the probability of future sales for those out-of-date inventories and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for valuation loss.
-
Obtained and validated the accuracy of the detailed listings of inventories aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories. Validated information of historical sales and discounts for those obsolete inventories to assess the reasonableness of policies in providing allowance for inventory valuation loss.
~17~
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, which describes that ENNOSTAR Inc. used 0.5 ordinary share in exchange for 1 ordinary share of Epistar Corporation to acquire a 100% equity interest of Epistar Corporation. The aforementioned share exchange pertains to a reorganization of entities under common control. In substance, ENNOSTAR Inc. is the successor company of Epistar Corporation. Thus, ENNOSTAR Inc., in its consolidated financial statements, accounted for the relevant assets and liabilities received using the book values in the financial statements of Epistar Corporation. Also, ENNOSTAR Inc. restated the prior period consolidated financial statements as if Epistar Corporation had always been consolidated since the beginning.
Other matter – Audit by Other Independent Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements and the information on the consolidated subsidiaries disclosed in Note 13 was based solely on the reports of other independent auditors. Total assets of those consolidated subsidiaries amounted to NT$268,634 thousand and NT$273,986 thousand, constituting 0.37% and 0.36% of the consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and total operating revenues were both NT$0 thousand for the years then ended, constituting 0% of the consolidated total operating revenues as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Furthermore, we did not audit the 2022 and 2021 financial statements of certain equity investments accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors whose reports thereon were furnished to us and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and certain information disclosed in Note 13 relative to these investments, is based solely on the reports of the other independent auditors. These equity investments amounted to NT$1,781,200 thousand and NT$1,046,503 thousand, representing 2.44% and 1.36% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and their comprehensive (loss) income (including share of loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method and share of other comprehensive (loss)/income of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method) amounted to NT$(144,437) thousand and NT$7,403 thousand, representing 40.08% and 0.47% of the consolidated comprehensive (loss) income for the years then ended.
~18~
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have also expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of ENNOSTAR Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
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 that came into effect 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 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
~19~
-
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
~20~
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ENNOSTAR Inc..
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheet of ENNOSTAR Inc. (the “Company’’)as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 reports of other independent auditors, as described in the other matters 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, 2022 and 2021, 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” 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 audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. 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 Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
~29~
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.
The key audit matters in relation to the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are outlined as follows:
Investments accounted for using the equity method-evaluation of inventories
Description
The subsidiaries of the Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of LED wafers, chips, packages and models. Due to rapid technological developments, short product lifespans and frequent fluctuations of market prices, the risk of decline in market value and obsolescence for inventories is high. The subsidiaries of the Company evaluates net realized values for inventories which aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories in order to provide allowance for valuation loss. Since the identification of the above obsolete inventories and their respective net realizable values are subject to management’s judgment, it was identified as one of the key audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:
-
Obtained an understanding of the Company and subsidiaries’s operations and the nature of its industry and interviewed with management to understand the probability of future sales for those out-of-date inventories and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for valuation loss.
-
Obtained and validated the accuracy of the detailed listings of inventories aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories. Validated information of historical sales and discounts for those obsolete inventories to assess the reasonableness of policies in providing allowance for inventory valuation loss.
~30~
Other matter – Audit by Other Independent Auditors
We did not audit the 2022 and 2021 financial statements of certain equity investments accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors, whose reports thereon were furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the parent company only financial statements and certain information disclosed in Note 13 relative to these investments, was based solely on the reports of the other independent auditors. These equity investments amounted to NT$2,049,834 thousand and NT$1,320,489 thousand, representing 3.75% and 2.50% of the parent company only total assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and their comprehensive loss (including share of loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method and share of other comprehensive income/(loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method) amounted to NT$139,085 thousand and NT$1,315 thousand, representing 67.06% and 0.06% of the parent company only comprehensive gain for the years then ended.
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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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.
~31~
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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 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.
~32~
-
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.
-
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 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.
