II. General Condition of Implementation
Recovery of global economy had been proceeding at a slow pace during 2016. The quantitative easing monetary policies adopted successively by Europe, the U.S. and Japan did not result in a rise of economy, and the economy had been caught into a “new mediocre” plight where low growth, low interest rates and low inflation take place. Therefore, more and more countries had adopted restriction over trade flows and it gave rise to a global trade protectionism, which led to a downward sliding of economic growth rate for export-oriented countries such as Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong. Fortunately, the efforts the Company had paid in past years have begun to come into results. Due to cooperation and endeavoring of every employee of the Company, the revenue, profit and earnings per share have all risen to a historical height in 2016. The market in 2017 will be as challenging as before, yet the Company will front the challenges with the operation policy of “integration, innovation, keeping up with the times, and sustainable development” and the expectation of sustenance of the good performance.
The Company was benefited from the unexpected market needs for new products after launching of such, which results in growing of business performance throughout seasons. Lean management had been implemented in the

factories, including establishment of KPIs to improve yield rate and efficiency. In regards of the supply chain, the purchase strategy had been extended and the cost competitiveness had been elevated. Funds from China had been introduced to form a strategic alliance for cost efficiency. Being benefited from the right strategies and efforts rendered by all employees, the business performance climbed up to a historical height in 2016. Such fruitful results had been cultivated in the nutrient soil of long-term devotion by Merry, and the operation philosophy of Merry could be accordingly proved to be correct to build a sustainable value.
With a lookout into year 2017, the operation policy of the Company is “integration, innovation, keeping up with the times, and sustainable development.” To face the harsh economy and the changing market, the Company will pay more attention and action to “integration” as well as to maintain the resources which have been invested. With regards of vertical division of work and horizontal integration, the internal functions are integrated, interaction and comprehensive performance between and of each BU are enhanced, the overall competence of the supply chain have been elevated, capabilities of manufacturing and new technology are strengthened, as well as a thorough cost management project in order to improve the overall core competence for challenges from the market. The rise of post-smartphone era leads the Company to more enthusiastic devotion into the fast-growing sectors of smart devices, entertainment and communication in such era, along with continuously innovation for enhancing added value and deepening differences. The Company still engages in smartphones, personal computer and tablet, despite the growth of such has been slowed down, with the expectation of that the integration and innovation will bring to a comprehensive outcome, establish a long-term competitive advantage, and to lead the Company to keep up with the time and sustainable development.

CPA's Audit Report, Individual Financial Statements and Consolidated Financial Statements
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
(106)_Tsai-Shen-Bao-Tze No. 16003312
To Merry Electronics Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying individual balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and individual statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years from January 1 to December 31, 2016 and January 1 to December 31, 2015 and the notes to the individual financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying individual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the individual financial position of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its individual financial performance and its individual cash flows for the years from January 1 to December 31, 2016 and January 1 to December 31, 2015 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements section of our report. Our people subject to the independency requirement are independent from Merry Electronics Co., Ltd in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of 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 individual financial statements for the year ended
11
December 31, 2016. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Sales Revenues Cut-Off of Distribution Warehouse
Description
Please refer to Note 4 (27) to the individual financial statement for the details of the accounting policies of sales revenues recognition.
The sales of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd. are mainly divided into 2 types, one is direct sales, and the other is warehouse distribution, which accounts for 20 percent of the sales revenues. The revenues of the warehouse distribution will not be recognized until the goods were picked up by the customers (risk and compensation are transferred). Merry Electronics Co., Ltd. recognizes the revenues based on the movement of the inventories of the warehouse, and mainly relies on the reports provided by the custodian of the warehouse or the pick-up reports recorded on the web platform of the customers. However, due to the dispersion of the warehouses and numerous custodians, the frequencies of the information provided by the custodians are not exactly the same. As such, given that the revenue recognition process highly involves manual tasks, the timing of revenue recognition may be inappropriate or the figures of the book of inventories may disagree with the physical stocks. Therefore, we highlight sales revenues cut-off of distribution warehouse as one of the key audit matters.
The Responsive Audit Procedures
We conducted audit procedures as follows:
-
We understand and evaluate the operational procedure and the internal control of the sales revenues of the distribution warehouse, and design the relevant test procedures, including:
-
(1) To interview the staff of each department of the operational procedure of the sales revenues of the distribution warehouse and acquire the revenue recognition procedures, and then confirm the conformity with the operational measures.
-
(2) To understand and evaluate the internal control of distribution operation of the distribution warehouse (to check the trading terms, the timing of transfer of the ownership and verify the figures on the evidence voucher with the figures on the invoice, so as to verify the transactions being recorded in the appropriate period) so as to assure the correctness of the timing of the revenue recognition.
12
-
We conducted cut-off tests on transactions of the sales revenues of the distribution warehouse within certain periods before and after the cut-off date, including verifying output records of the warehouse and movement of the inventory book and cost transfer of the sales being recorded in the appropriate period.
-
We perform substantive tests procedures, such as confirmation on the ending balance of the accounts receivable from distribution warehouse, physical count on inventories and collection made during subsequent periods, etc., to verify that the accounts receivables and sales revenues were recorded in the correct period to be in line with the revenue recognition policy, and to assure the adjustment entries were made properly on the material discrepancies.
The influence of major events and transactions happened during the financial report period.
Description
Please refer to Note 4 (12) to the individual financial statement for the details of basis of investment accounting policies for using equity method.
In August, 2016, Merry Electronics (SUZHOU) Co., Ltd., the subsidiary of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd., carried out a capital increase in cash which were fully subscribed by Lanto Electronic (Kunshan) Ltd., the investment amount of which is RMB$530,000(in thousands of dollars) and 51% shares in Merry Electronics (SUZHOU) Co., Ltd. was obtained. As a result, the percentage of shareholding in Merry Electronics (SUZHOU) Co., Ltd. by Merry Electronics Co., Ltd. decreased from 100% to 49% and control was lost, and a disposal gain of NT$472,655(in thousands of dollars) was recognized. Please refer to Note 6 (7) to the consolidated financial statement for the details. Therefore, we highlight the transaction as one of the key audit matters.
The Responsive Audit Procedures
We conducted the audit procedures as follows:
We conduct relevant inspection and trial on investments using equity method of the Company, including:
-
We perform inspection and trial related to investments using equity method, including: (1) To check the decrease of shareholding percentage to confirm no abnormal situation.
-
(2) To check the contracts, minutes, operational license post capital increase, and audit report of registered capital, etc., to confirm the consistency with transaction records and existence of the transaction.
13
-
(3) To check accounting records of transaction of disposal to confirm no abnormal situation.
-
(4) To confirm the records of gain or loss from disposal and fair value of consideration are consistent with the accounting book.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control related to preparation of the individual financial statements as necessary to enable the preparation of individual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the individual financial statements, management is responsible for assessing ability of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd. 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 independent directors and supervisors) are responsible for overseeing financial reporting process of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 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
14
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these individual 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:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual 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 omission, misrepresentation, 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 internal control of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosure made by management.
-
Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on ability of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd. to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the individual 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation (including relevant notes), structure and content of the individual financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual 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 Merry Electronics Co., Ltd. to express an opinion on the individual 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
15
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that our people subject to the independency requirement have compiled 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.
For the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those key audit matters in the audit of the individual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulations 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
(106)_Tsai-Shen-Bao-Tze No. 16003446
To Merry Electronics Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Merry Electronics Co. Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years from January 1 to December 31, 2016 and January 1 to December 31, 2015 and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years from January 1 to December 31, 2016 and January 1 to December 31, 2015 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 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 audits 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 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. Our people subject to the independency requirement are independent from the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of 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.
23
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 Group for the year ended December 31, 2016. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Cut-off of Sales Revenues of Distribution Warehouse
Description
Please refer to Note 4 (28) to the consolidated financial statement for the details of the accounting policies of sales revenues recognition.
The sales of the Merry Group are mainly divided into 2 types, one is direct sales, and the other is warehouse distribution, which accounts for 20 percent of the sales revenues. The revenues of the warehouse distribution will not be recognized until the goods were picked up by the customers (risk and compensation are transferred). The Group recognizes the revenues based on the movement of the inventories of the warehouse, and mainly relies on the reports provided by the custodian of the warehouse or the pick-up reports recorded on the web platform of the customer. However, due to the dispersion of the warehouses and numerous custodians, the frequencies of the information provided by the custodians are not exactly the same. As such, given that the revenue recognition process highly involves manual tasks, the timing of revenue recognition may be inappropriate or the figures of the book of inventories may disagree with the physical stocks. Therefore, we highlight sales revenues cut-off of distribution warehouse as one of the key audit matters.
The Responsive Audit Procedures
We conducted audit procedures as follows:
-
We understand and evaluate the operational procedure and the internal control of the sales revenues of the distribution warehouse of the Group, and design the relevant test procedures, including:
-
(1) To interview the staff of each department of the operational procedure of the sales revenues of the distribution warehouse and acquire the revenue recognition procedures, and then confirm the conformity with the operational measures.
-
(2) To understand and evaluate the internal control of distribution operation of the distribution warehouse (to check the trading terms, the timing of transfer of
24
the ownership and verify the figures on the evidence voucher with the figures on the invoice, so as to verify the transactions being recorded in the appropriate period) so as to assure the correctness of the timing of the revenue recognition.
-
We have conducted cut-off tests on transactions of the sales revenues of the distribution warehouse within certain periods before and after the cut-off date, including verifying output records of the warehouse and movement of the inventory book and cost transfer of the sales being recorded in the appropriate period.
-
We perform substantive tests procedures, such as confirmation on the ending balance of the accounts receivable from distribution warehouse, confirmation on inventories and collection made during subsequent periods, etc., to verify that accounts receivables and sales revenues were recorded in the correct period to be in line with the revenue recognition policy, and to assure the adjustment entries were made properly on the material discrepancies.
The influence of major events and transactions happened during the financial report period.
Description
Please refer to Note 4 (3) and 4 (13) to the consolidated financial statement for the details of basis of consolidation and investment accounting policies for using equity method.
In August, 2016, Merry Electronics (SUZHOU) Co., Ltd., the subsidiary of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd. carried out a capital increase in cash which were fully subscribed by Lanto Electronic (Kunshan) Ltd., the investment amount of which is RMB$530,000(in thousands of dollars) and 51% shares in Merry Electronics (SUZHOU) Co., Ltd. was obtained. As a result, the percentage of shareholding in Merry Electronics (SUZHOU) Co., Ltd. by Merry Electronics Co. Ltd. decreased from 100% to 49% and control was lost, and a disposal gain of NT$472,655(in thousands of dollars) was recognized. Please refer to Note 6 (7) to the consolidated financial statement for the details. Therefore, we highlight the transaction as one of the key audit matters.
The Responsive Audit Procedures and outcome
We conducted the audit procedures as follows:
- We perform inspection and trial related to investments using equity method,
25
including:
-
(1) To check the decrease of shareholding percentage to confirm no abnormal situation.
-
(2) To check the contracts, minutes, operational license post capital increase, and audit report of registered capital, etc., to confirm the consistency with transaction records and existence of the transaction.
-
(3) To check accounting records of transaction of disposal to confirm no abnormal situation.
-
(4) To confirm the records of gain or loss from disposal and fair value of consideration are consistent with the accounting book.
-
We assess the appropriateness of evaluation of fair value conducted by the external appraisal institution, including:
-
(1) To assess the independence and appropriateness of the external appraisal institution.
-
(2) To assess whether the appraisal methods adopted by the external appraisal institution is prevailing and appropriate.
-
(3) To check the appropriateness of parameters and formula used in the appraisal model.
-
(4) To recalculate the correctness of fair value.
Other Matter - Individual Financial Statements
We have also audited the Individual financial statements prepared by Merry Electronics Co. Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the presentation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the 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 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 Merry Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
26
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 independent directors and supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 consolidated 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:
-
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 omission, misrepresentation, 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 Merry Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Based on the audit evidence obtained, 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 Merry Group’s ability to continue
27
as a going concern. If we concluded that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation (including relevant notes), 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 Merry Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of Merry 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 our people subject to the independency requirement have compiled 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.
For the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those key audit matters in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 of Merry Group. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulations 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.
