Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Holy Stone Enterprise Company Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Holy Stone Enterprise Company Limited , which comprise the financial statements for the parent company. The financial statements for the parent company and its subsidiaries comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and 2015, the statement of income, the statement of comprehensive income, the statements of cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the financial statements of the parent company have been prepared in accordance with laws and regulations and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as at 31 December 2016 and 2015 and their financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. 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 parent company in accordance with The Norm of professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities as required by law and regulations. We have also complied with our other ethical obligations 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.

Other Information

Part of Holy Stone Enterprise Company Limited’s investment that accounted under equity method was audited

~ 38 ~

by other accountants. Therefore, the amount of partial parent company financial statement among our opinion on these financial statements was according to other accountants’ auditor’s report. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the investment amounts accounted under equity method made up 2.61% and 2.44% of total assets, respectively; the gains or losses from subsidiaries using equity method for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 made up 0.27% and 0.11% of Net income before tax, respectively.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

Revenue Recognition

Refer to the note 4.11 and 6.16 for more details on Unconsolidated Financial Statements.

The parent company’s revenue is primarily generated from the provision of multilayer ceramic capacitors, integrated circuits, modules, and other electronic components. We identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter because revenue is one of the key performance indicators of the parent company. We evaluated the design and execution of internal control system, revenue analysis of top 10 trading partners, key reconciliations to assess the completeness and accuracy of revenue, including testing the period in which it is reported.

Valuation of Accounts Receivable

Refer to the note 4.6.4, 5.1, and 6.5 for more details on Unconsolidated Financial Statements.

The parent company’s accounts receivable evaluation is based on collectability. Due to high volatility of the industry, it is uncertain to have enough of information of collectability before the Unconsolidated Financial Statements is reported. In addition, the evaluation of collectability involves professional judgment from the management. Therefore, we identified accounts receivable as a key audit matter.

Valuation of Inventories

Refer to the note 4.7, 5.2, and 6.6 for more details on Unconsolidated Financial Statements. Inventory is carried in the Financial Statements at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Sales in the electronic components industry can be extremely volatile with consumer demand changing significantly based on current trends. As a result there is a risk that the carrying value of inventory exceeds its net realisable value. Our audit procedures were designed to challenge the reasonableness of the parent company’s provisions against impairment of inventory, assessing the hypothesis of allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses from previous years; check if the parent company adopts the valuation of inventories; check inventory age report

~ 39 ~

and analyze the pattern; look into the pattern of selling price and market value of inventories to evaluate the reasonableness of net realisable value; evaluate the legitimacy of the disclosure of allowance for inventory valuation.

Valuation of of investment using equity method

Refer to the note 4.8, 5.3, and 6.7 for more details on Unconsolidated Financial Statements. We identified Valuation of of investment using equity method as a key audit matter, as the ending balance of investment using equity method as of December 31st, 2016 made up 19% of consolidated total assets. Our audit procedures were designed to understand the internal control system of investment using equity method; check for discrepancy of the investment amount; check if the ownership ratio is correct; check for discrepancy of the cost and net value of stocks, and check if adequate procedures are taken to deal with any change of unrealized gain/loss and stockholders’ equity of the investee company; evaluate if there is any impairment occurred and the reasonableness of future discounted cash flow from investee company.

Responsibilities of management for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, 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 parent 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 parent company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the parent 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

~ 40 ~

  1. 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;

  3. evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;

  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 parent 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;

  5. 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.

  6. obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the parent company 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 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

~ 41 ~

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.

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Holy Stone Enterprise Company Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Holy Stone Enterprise Company Limited , which comprise the financial statements for the parent company and its subsidiaries (“the Company”). The financial statements for the parent company and its subsidiaries comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and 2015, the statement of income, the statement of comprehensive income, the statements of cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with laws and regulations and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016 and 2015 and their financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. 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 Norm of professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities as required by law and regulations. We have also complied with our other ethical obligations 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.

Other Information

Part of Holy Stone Enterprise Company Limited’s investment that accounted under equity method was audited by other accountants. Therefore, the amount of partial Company financial statement among our opinion on these financial statements was according to other accountants’ auditor’s report. As of December

~ 47 ~

31, 2016 and 2015, the investment amounts accounted under equity method made up 2.61% and 2.44% of total assets, respectively; the gains or losses from subsidiaries accounted under equity method for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 made up 0.27% and 0.11% of Net income before tax, respectively.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

Revenue Recognition

Refer to the note 4.11 and 6.16 for more details on Unconsolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the provision of multilayer ceramic capacitors, integrated circuits, modules, and other electronic components. We identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter because revenue is one of the key performance indicators of the Company. We evaluated the design and execution of internal control system, revenue analysis of top 10 trading partners, key reconciliations to assess the completeness and accuracy of revenue, including testing the period in which it is reported.

Valuation of Accounts Receivable

Refer to the note 4.6.4, 5.1, and 6.5 for more details on Unconsolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s accounts receivable evaluation is based on collectability. Due to high volatility of the industry, it is uncertain to have enough of information of collectability before the Unconsolidated Financial Statements is reported. In addition, the evaluation of collectability involves professional judgment from the management. Therefore, we identified accounts receivable as a key audit matter.

Valuation of Inventories

Refer to the note 4.7, 5.2, and 6.6 for more details on Unconsolidated Financial Statements. Inventory is carried in the Financial Statements at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Sales in the electronic components industry can be extremely volatile with consumer demand changing significantly based on current trends. As a result there is a risk that the carrying value of inventory exceeds its net realisable value.

Our audit procedures were designed to challenge the reasonableness of the Company’s provisions against impairment of inventory, assessing the hypothesis of allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses from previous years; check if the Company adopts the valuation of inventories; check inventory age report and analyze the pattern; look into the pattern of selling price and market value of inventories to

~ 48 ~

evaluate the reasonableness of net realisable value; evaluate the legitimacy of the disclosure of allowance for inventory valuation.

Valuation of of investment using equity method

Refer to the note 4.8, 5.3, and 6.7 for more details on Unconsolidated Financial Statements.

We identified Valuation of of investment using equity method as a key audit matter, as the ending balance of investment using equity method as of December 31st, 2016 made up 19% of consolidated total assets. Our audit procedures were designed to understand the internal control system of investment using equity method; check for discrepancy of the investment amount; check if the ownership ratio is correct; check for discrepancy of the cost and net value of stocks, and check if adequate procedures are taken to deal with any change of unrealized gain/loss and stockholders’ equity of the investee company; evaluate if there is any impairment occurred and the reasonableness of future discounted cash flow from investee company.

Responsibilities of management for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, 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 members of the Audit Committee) 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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

~ 49 ~

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;

  1. 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;

  2. evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;

  3. 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;

  4. 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.

  5. obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company 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 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

~ 50 ~

reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
