The accountant's audit report and the financial statement of 2018
The accountant’s audit report (2019) Financial Review No. 18044423
For Hotel Holiday Garden
Audit opinion
The individual balance sheets of Hotel Holiday Garden for the years of 2018 and December 31, 2017,and the individual comprehensive income statements for the years for 2018 and January 1 to December 31, 2017, Statement of changes in equity, individual Statements of Cash Flows, and individual financial statement (including the summary of major accounting policies), have been checked by the accountant.
In accordance with the opinion of the accountant, the above individual financial statements are prepared in line with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, which is sufficient to express the 2018 and December 31, 2017 individual financial status of Hotel Holiday Garden, and the 2018 and January 1 to December 31, 2017 individual financial performance and individual cash flow.
The basis of check opinion
The audit is carried out in accordance with the rules governing “Auditing and Certifications of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and the generally accepted auditing standards of the Republic of China. The responsibility of the accountants under these standards will be further explained in the accountability section of the accountant's audit of individual financial statements. In accordance with the professional ethics of the CPA accountant, it has maintained its detached independence from Hotel Holiday Garden and fulfil other responsibilities. The accountant believes that sufficient and appropriate evidence of the audit has been obtained as a basis for expression of the opinion.
Checking of Key items
The auditing of key matters refer to the most important matters of the audit of the 2018
~16~
individual financial statements of Hotel Holiday Garden in accordance with the professional judgment of the accountant. These matters have been dealt with in the process of auditing the overall individual financial statements and forming a review opinion. The accountant will not make a separate opinion.
The key check items for the 2018 individual financial statements of Hotel Holiday Garden are as follows:
Using the investment at equity to assess impairment
Explanation
For the accounting policies of the equity investment, please refer to appendice 4(11) of the individual financial statements. For the uncertainty of the accounting estimates and assumptions of the investment impairment assessment using the equity method, please refer to appendice 5 (2) of the individual financial statements; For the description of the equity method investment, please refer to appendice 6 (4) of the individual financial statements.
The intangible assets of subsidiaries of Hotel Holiday Garden Enterprise till December 31, 2018, are NT 403,004 thousand dollars, which accounts for 7% of the total assets. Due to the rising of all kinds of hotels, and keen competition between the hotel industries, the management considers estimation of intangible assets impairment as an independent and smallest cash production unit, and estimates the future cash flow volume and using the appropriate discount rate to measure the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit as a basis for the assessment of the intangible asset.
The preceding paragraph illustrates when measuring the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit by estimating the future cash flow, as estimation involves many assumptions including the determination of discount rate, and using the information prepared for financial forecast for the next five years, it is subjective and highly uncertain, resulting in significant impact on the measurement of recoverable amount.
Procedures of corresponding check
~17~
The check-up procedures regarding the execution of the key issues are as follows:
-
1.Understand and evaluate the management's operating procedures for estimating future cash flows from subsidiaries and confirm that the cash flows for the next five years are consistent with the operating plans approved by the Board of Directors.
-
2.Discuss specific aspects of the business plan with management and obtain information about the actual implementation of management's past operating plans to assess their intent and ability to execute.
-
3.Assess the rationality of the significant assumptions such as the parameters used and the discount rate, including the following procedures
-
The estimated growth rate used is compared with historical results and economic environment forecasts to assess its rationality.
-
The discount rate used is compared with the assumption cost of cash-generating unit capital
-
and the similar asset return rate in the market to assess its rationality.
Responsibility of management and governing units regarding the consolidated financial statements
The management's responsibilities are based on the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and maintain the necessary internal controls relating to the preparation of the individual financial statements to ensure that there are no significant misrepresentations of fraud or errors in the individual financial statement.
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the management's responsibilities also including assessment of the ability of the Hotel Holiday Garden to continue its operations, the disclosure of related matters, and the adoption of the accounting basis for its continuing operation, unless the management intends to liquidate the Hotel Holiday Garden or cease its operations, or if there is no other options that are practical or feasible, but to liquidate or cease its operations.
~18~
Those charged with governance(including the Supervisor) of Hotel Holiday Garden are responsible for overseeing the process of financial reporting.
The responsibility of the Accountant to audit the consolidated financial statements
The objectives of the Accountant auditing the consolidated financial statements are to obtain reasonable assurance about the financial statements as a whole are free from any material misrepresentation due to fraud or error and to issue an audit report. Reasonably assurance refers to a high level of assurance, but the verification work carried out in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards of the Republic of China cannot guarantee that the significant misrepresentation of the consolidated financial statements can be detected. False expressions may be caused by fraud or errors. If the amount is misstated, individually or in aggregation, this would reasonably expected to affect the economic decision made by the consolidated financial statement users, and this will be considered to be significant impact.
In accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards of the Republic of China, the Accountant exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism. The accountant also performs the following tasks.
-
We identified and assessed the significant misrepresentation of the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error; designed and implemented appropriate response measures for the assessed risks and to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to check as the basis for the review. Because fraud may involve conspiracy, forgery, intentional omission, false statement or overstepping internal control, the risk of significant misrepresentation due to fraud not being detected is higher than the cause of the error.
-
We obtained the necessary understanding of the internal control of the audit to design an appropriate check procedure at the time, but the purpose is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Hotel Holiday Garden.
-
Assessment of the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted, and the rationality of
~19~
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
4.Conclusions are drawn on the basis of audit evidence obtained, whether the management adopts the appropriateness of the basis of continuing operations accounting and whether there are significant uncertainties in the events or circumstances that may cause significant doubts about the ability of the Hotel Holiday Garden to continue operation.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the consolidated financial statements (including related notes) and whether the individual financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
-
6.Opinions expressed regarding the consolidated financial statements are based on sufficient and appropriate evidence obtained for the financial information of the entities of the Hotel Holiday Garden. The accountant is responsible for the guidance, supervision and execution of the audition and providing the audit opinions .
Communication with those charged with governance regarding the planned scope and the timing of inspection, and major findings (including significant internal control shortcomings identified during the audit).
We have also provided those charged with governance the statement that the personnel of our accounting firm subject to the requirements of independence have complied with the requirements of independence of the code of professional ethics of certified public accountants of the Republic of China and communicate with those charged with governance relationships and other matters that may influence our independence (including related preventive measures).
~20~
We described these matters in the accountant’s report, unless the laws and regulations prohibit such disclosure or under rare condition that we decide not to communicate a given matter because the negative impact from such communication may override its public benefits under reasonable assumption.

Table 2
Independent auditor’s review report on the 2018 consolidated financial statements Independent accountant’s audit report
(2019) Tsai Shen Pao Tzu No. 18004571
For Hotel Holiday Garden
Opinion
We have audited the following financial statements of Hotel Holiday Garden and the subsidiaries (the “Group”): the consolidated balance sheets of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income of January 1 to December 31 of 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of changes in equity, the consolidated statements of cash flows, and the notes to consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2018 and 2017 and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the period from January 1 to December 31 of 2018 and 2017 of the Group in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Standards (IFRs), the International Accounting Standards (IASs), and the related interpretations and interpretative bulletins endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission
Basis for opinion
The audit is carried out in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the generally recognized auditing standards of Republic of China.
The responsibilities of the accountants under these standards will be further described in the responsibility section of the accountant's audit of the consolidated financial statements. The personnel of the accounting firm subject to the independent requirements have complied with the code of professional ethics of certified public accountants of the Republic of China, stayed fully independent of the Hotel Holiday Garden, and performed other responsibilities in accordance with the code.
-31-
Audit of key matters
The key auditing matters, based on the professional judgment of the accountants, are the most important matters in the audit of the 2018 consolidated financial statement of Hotel Holiday Garden. These matters have been dealt with in the process of audition as a whole and a review opinion has been given. The accountant will not express a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of 2018 of the Group are determined as follows:
Evaluation of the Intangible assets impairment
Explanation
For accounting policies of intangible asset impairment, please refer to Note 4(17) of the consolidated financial statements. For accounting estimation and assumption uncertainty of evaluation of intangible investment impairment, please refer to Note 5(2) of the consolidated financial statements. For intangible assets, please refer to Note 6(6) of the consolidated financial statements.
The amount of intangible assets of Hotel Holiday Garden as of December 31, 2018 was NT$403,004 thousands, accounting for 7% of the total assets.
The booming of a wide variety of hotels and accommodations and the strong competition in the hospitality industry in the recent years prompted the management, in the impairment assessment for intangible assets, treats each subsidiary as an independent and smallest cash-generating unit, and estimates the future cash flows and appropriate use of each subsidiary. The discount rate is discounted to measure the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, and uses it as a basis for assessing the impairment of intangible assets.
-32-
The aforementioned use of future cash flow for measuring the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit may exert a significant impact on the measurement of the recoverable amount. The estimation involves a number of assumptions including the determination of the discount rate and the financial forecasts for the next five years, which may lead to subjective judgment and a high level of uncertainty. Therefore, the accountant has included the impairment assessment of intangible assets as an important matter for this year.
Corresponding audit program
The following audit program is implemented corresponding to the aforementioned audit matter
-
We worked on understanding and evaluated the management's operating procedures for estimating future cash flows from subsidiaries and verified that the cash flows for the next five years are consistent with the operating plans approved by the Board of Directors.
-
Specific aspects of the business plan have been discussed with the management and obtained information about the actual implementation of the operating plans in the pass to assess their intent and ability to execute..
-
We evaluated the rationale of various parameters and material assumptions adopted, including the discount rates, by the following procedures:
-
To assess its rationality, the estimated growth rate used is compared with historical results and economic environment forecasts
-
To assess its rationality, the discount rate used is compared with the assumption of financing cost of the cash-generating unit and the similar asset returns rate in the market.
Other matters: The individual financial report
Hotel Holiday Garden has prepared the 2017 and2018 individual financial statements and the accountant has issued an audit report with unmodified opinions for reference.
-33-
Responsibilities of the management and the governing unit for the consolidated financial statements
The responsibilities of management is to prepare appropriately stated consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Standards (IFRs), the international Accounting Standards (IASs), and the related interpretations and interpretative bulletins endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Management is also responsible for maintaining necessary internal control relevant to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement by fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the responsibilities of the management also includes an assessment of the ability of the Hotel Holiday Garden to continue its operations, the disclosure of related matters, and the adoption of the continuing accounting basis, unless the management intends to liquidate the Group, or to cease operations, or to liquidate or to have no other practical options but to cease the operation.
Those charged with governance (including the supervisors) of Group are responsible for supervising the Group’s financial reporting procedure.
Account's responsibilities for the audit of consolidated financial statements
The purpose of the CPA's auditing the consolidated financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance about the material misrepresentation of fraud or error in the consolidated financial statements, and to issue a verification report. Reasonable assurance is highly convincing, but the audit executed under the generally recognized auditing standards of Republic of China cannot guarantee that the significant misrepresentations, which may be caused by fraud or error, of the consolidated financial statements will be detected. If any individual amount or summary of the misstatements which can be reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by users of consolidated financial statements are considered to be significant.
-34-
When auditing in accordance with the generally recognized auditing standards of Republic of China, the Accountant uses professional judgment and maintains professional skepticism. The accountant also performs the following tasks.
-
Identifying and assessing the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statement, which may be caused by fraud or errors, designed and implementing appropriate response measures for the risks assessed; and obtaining sufficient and appropriate evidence to form the basis for our opinions. Because fraud may involve conspiracy, forgery, intentional omission, false statement or overstepping internal control, the risk of significant misrepresentation due to fraud not being detected is higher than the cause of the error
-
We obtained an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures suitable for the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
The assessment of the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management, and the rationality of accounting estimates and related disclosures
-
Based on the audit obtained, it can be concluded that on the appropriateness of management’s adoption of the basis of continuing business accounting and whether there are significant uncertainties in the events or circumstances that may cause significant doubts about the ability of the Hotel Holiday Garden to continue operation.If the accountant believes that if there is a material uncertainty in the events or circumstances, the auditor is required to remind the users of the consolidated financial statements to pay attention to the relevant disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or to correct the comments when the disclosure is inappropriate. The conclusion is based on the date of the audit report.
-
We evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including the relevant notes), and whether the consolidated financial statements allow for the expression of relevant transactions and events..
-
We obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities
-35-
within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The accountant is responsible for the guidance, supervision and execution of the group's audit case and is responsible for forming the group's audit opinion.
The discussions between the Accountant and the governing unit include the planned scope and time of audit, and major findings of the audit (including the significant shortcomings of internal control identified during the audit).
We have also provided those charged with governance the statement that the personnel of our accounting firm subject to the requirements of independence have complied with the requirements of independence of the code of professional ethics of certified public accountants of the Republic of China and communicate with those charged with governance relationships and other matters that may influence our independence (including related preventive measures).
-36-
Upon communicating with the governance unit, the accountant decided on the key matters to audit for the review of the 2018 consolidated financial statements of the Group. These matters are described in the audit’s report, unless the laws and regulations prohibit such disclosure or under rare condition that we decide not to communicate a given matter because the negative impact from such communication may override its public benefits under reasonable assumption.
