The offering price shall be submitted to the authority for records before issuance. The offering price shall be set by no less than the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation on price determination date, 90% of the simple average closing price of the ordinary shares of the Company for either the one, three, or five business days before price determination date, after adjustment for any distribution of stock dividends and cash dividends. However, due to stock price fluctuation and security market change causing the actual price of each share lower than the face value, in order to raise fund smoothly and to improve long-term steady growth of the Company, it is necessary to decide such price. If the price of each share is lower than the face value, it is anticipated to cause the reduction of the capital reserve of the book or retain earning of the Company and will be made up according to actual operation situation in the future. Also, the offering price will be set according to the rules of the authority, after the effect of capital increase appears, the financial structure of the Company will be improved effectively and will benefit the Company’s long-term development, and there shall be no unfavorable impact to the shareholders’ interest.

INNOLUX CORPORATION
2017 Operating Report
1. 2017 Operating Report
2017 was a year in which the panel industry underwent drastic changes. In the first half of the year, the production cuts by Korean manufacturers and panels in short supply led to prosperity in terms of panel supply exceeding demand and rising prices. In the second half of the year, with the information of new production capacities emerging in Mainland China, the market anticipated an increase in panel supply as well as market price drops, resulting in a reversal of the upward price trend in the second half of the year and pressure from customers’ price adjustments.
The company managed to achieve a fruitful operating performance in 2017 nonetheless, with annual consolidated sales revenue amounting to NT$329.2 billion, an annual increase of 15% and the after-tax net profit amounting to NT$37.029 billion, hitting a record high on company profits at NT$3.72 EPS.
With the new panel production capacity in China, the supply and demand of the panel market is expected to remain balanced in the short term, not likely causing significant impacts. However, impacts on the economic situation in the long run are inevitable. Therefore, the company has actively adjusted its business strategy towards new technology and new application fields, developing highend technological products, expanding new markets, and finding a blue ocean through qualitative and quantitative technological improvements, which are in the best interest of the company and its shareholders.
In view of the future, our operation team and all of our employees will continue to endeavor, to concentrate, and to innovate for the best interest of our shareholders.
2. Result of Business Plan
In 2017 our consolidated revenue was NT$ 329,174,401 thousands, which increased
NT$42,085,124 thousands or 15% by compared with the 2016 yearly revenue of NT$ 287,089,277 thousands. In 2017 our annual profit after tax which belonged to mother company was NT$37,028,609 thousands, and the annual earnings per share is NT$3.72.

We believe the developing directions, including eco-friendly materials, low power consumption, high pixel, high saturation, ultra thin, narrow border, good dynamic performances, touch, wide viewing angle and service integration in all aspects, will achieve remarkable results.
To enhance our overall competitiveness, we proactively developed new technique and new products such as high flexible IGZO AMOLED panel, Mini LED, MicroLED, touch point integration technique; wide color gamut monitor, middle-and-large-sized touch panel and we’ve obtained substantial results. This helps us to stand out and keep our leading position in the keen competitive industry environment.
Among the large-size TFT-LCD products, LCD TVs continue to be oriented towards larger sizes, energy saving, high image quality (4K, 8K), and narrow borders. The main appeal of LCD monitors lies in flexibility, gaming, and narrow borders, while laptop products are oriented towards the development trends of low power consumption, IGZO, narrow borders, and ultrathin technology, which are intended to urge consumers to upgrade their existing products. As for medium and small sizes, manufacturers have engaged in the research and development of AMOLED, flexible panels, and other next-generation technologies due to flourishing developments of smartphone applications and increasingly mature touch technology, making panels the product category with the greatest diversity of products and the fastest growing. Looking ahead to 2018, 18:9, flexible and special-shaped cutting will become the development trend of small and medium sized panels.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of INNOLUX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 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 Company and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries 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 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.
The key audit matters in relation to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 are outlined as follows:
Inventory valuation
Description
The industry is characterized in its significant fluctuations closely in connection with the economic environment. As the technology evolves rapidly, the Group’s existing products may become obsolete when the customers demand for new products or the Group fails to compete with the evolutionary production
16
approach. The abovementioned factors thus affect the sales amount ultimately. The Group has evaluated the inventory by taking into account of allowance, obsoleteness or trivial sales amount and the cost has been written down to the net realizable value. For details of inventory, please refer to Note 6(6). As the amounts of inventories are material, the types of inventories vary, and the estimation of net realizable value for individually obsolete or damaged inventories is dependent upon significant management judgement, we consider inventory valuation a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed whether the accounting policies on the provision for the loss on decline in value and obsoleteness of inventory are reasonable and in accordance with the accounting principles, as well as whether they are applied consistently. We examined inventory aging report and assessed the reasonableness of provision for the loss on slow-moving inventory. We also assessed the reasonableness of net realizable value and the appropriateness of valuation basis.
Additions to property, plant and equipment
Description
The Group’s capital expenditures increased with its operational growth. For details of property, plant and equipment, please refer to Notes 6(8) and (28). As the amount of property, plant and equipment is material, we identified the additions to property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed and tested the effectiveness of internal controls related to additions to property, plant and equipment, including sampling and checking purchase orders and invoices as to whether the transactions have been approved appropriately and the correctness of the recorded amounts. We also checked the related receipts or acceptance documents to ensure that additions are recognized in appropriate period. In addition, through sampling method, we conducted physical observation of certain assets to confirm that the purchased items exist.
Valuation and impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment
Description
For details of the impairment valuation of goodwill and property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 6(10).
Innolux Corporation estimates future cash flows based on appropriate discount rates. In determining whether goodwill and property, plant and equipment may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is measured based on how assets are utilized, duration years of assets and projected income and expenses in the future. The estimate involves several assumptions such as determination of discount rates, expected growth rate and future financial projections. As these estimates are dependent upon significant management judgement, we consider management’s assessment of impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed the key assumptions used by management in estimating expected future cash flows, including the reasonableness of expected operating revenue, gross profit, changes in expenses, and the basic assumptions applied in expected future cash flows. We also examined the parameters of discount rates, including the risk-free rate of return on equity capital, the risk factor of the industry and the rate of return
17
on similar investments in the market.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Innolux Co., Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
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 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
B. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
18
-
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current 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
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Innolux Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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, 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, 2017 and 2016, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matters in relation to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 are outlined as follows:
Inventory valuation
Description
The industry is characterized in its significant fluctuations closely in connection with the economic
26
environment. As the technology evolves rapidly, the Company’s existing products may become obsolete when the customers demand for new products or the Company fails to compete with the evolutionary production approach. The abovementioned factors thus affect the sales amount ultimately. The Company has evaluated the inventory by taking into account of allowance, obsoleteness or trivial sales amount and the cost has been written down to the net realizable value. For details of inventory, please refer to Note 6(6). As the amounts of inventories are material, the types of inventories vary, and the estimation of net realizable value for individually obsolete or damaged inventories is dependent upon significant management judgement, we consider inventory valuation a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed whether the accounting policies on the provision for the loss on decline in value and obsoleteness of inventory are reasonable and in accordance with the accounting principles, as well as whether they are applied consistently. We examined inventory aging report and assessed the reasonableness of provision for the loss on slow-moving inventory. We also assessed the reasonableness of net realizable value and the appropriateness of valuation basis.
Additions to property, plant and equipment
Description
The company’s capital expenditures increased with its operational growth. For details of property, plant and equipment, please refer to Notes 6(8) and (28). As the amount of property, plant and equipment is material, we identified the additions to property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed and tested the effectiveness of internal controls related to additions to property, plant and equipment, including sampling and checking purchase orders and invoices as to whether the transactions have been approved appropriately and the correctness of the recorded amounts. We also checked the related receipts or acceptance documents to ensure that additions are recognized in appropriate period. In addition, through sampling method, we conducted physical observation of certain assets to confirm that the purchased items exist.
Valuation and impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment
Description
For details of the impairment valuation of goodwill and property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 6(10).
Innolux Corporation estimates future cash flows based on appropriate discount rates. In determining whether goodwill and property, plant and equipment may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is measured based on how assets are utilized, duration years of assets and projected income and expenses in the future. The estimate involves several assumptions such as determination of discount rates, expected growth rate and future financial projections. As these estimates are dependent upon significant management judgement, we consider management’s assessment of impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
27
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed the key assumptions used by management in estimating expected future cash flows, including the reasonableness of expected operating revenue, gross profit, changes in expenses, and the basic assumptions applied in expected future cash flows. We also examined the parameters of discount rates, including the risk-free rate of return on equity capital, the risk factor of the industry and the rate of return on similar investments in the market.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
B. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
28
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company 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.
