Together with the growth momentum in mobile device related business, non-PC segment has contributed a bigger share of revenue and profit to PRIMAX.
PRIMAX continued with its effort in pushing product quality and yield rate to a higher standard and reinforcing related investment in process automation for better control of the costs and expenses in manufacturing so as to optimize the gross profit structure of products. In light of the importance of the research and development of new technologies and new products in the future, expenses have been incurred only for achieving the set objectives.

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of 2015, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to other Matter paragraph), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its financial performance and its 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 audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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, inclusive of the report from other auditors, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investees accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those investments, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. The Company’s investment in these companies constituting 4% of the total assets, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. The related share of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method amounted constituting 11% and 9% of the profit before tax, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgments, 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.
-11-
3-1
In our professional judgments, key audit matters to be communicated in the independent auditors’ report are listed below:
1. Evaluation of inventories
Please refer to Note 4(g) “Inventories”, Note 5 “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and Note 6(e) “Inventories” of the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Inventories of the Company are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the fast hightech revolution, as well as the advancement of production technologies that may lead the dramatic change in customers’demand, the net realizable value of inventories requires subjective judgments of the management, which is the major source of estimation uncertainty. Therefore, the evaluation of inventories is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the policies of evaluating the inventories of the Company; inspecting whether existing inventory policies are applied; examine the accuracy of the aging of inventories by sampling and analyse the changes of the aging of inventories; inspecting the reasonability for allowance provided on inventory valuation in the past and compare it to the current year to ensure that the measurements and assumptions are reasonable; sampling the inventories sold in subsequent period to assess whether the allowance for inventories are reasonable.
2. Investments accounted for using equity method
Please refer to Note 4(h) “Investments in subsidiaries”, and Note 5 “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty” of the financial statements.

Based on the scope and nature of their businesses which may influence the outcome of their operations, the net realizable value of inventories in certain subsidiaries required the managements to make subjective judgments, which is the major source of estimation uncertainty. Therefore, the valuation of inventories of the investments accounted for using equity method is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
In 2014, the Company acquired Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. through its subsidiary, Diamond (Cayman) Holdings Ltd., and recognized its goodwill, technologies and customer relations as intangible assets. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, and the assessment of imapirment contains estimation uncertainty. Therefore, the assessment of impairment of intangible assets, recognized from the business combination by the subsidiary accounted for using equity method, is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
For the principal audit procedures on the valuation of inventories of the investments accounted for using equity method, please refer to key audit matters 1 “Evaluation of invetories”. In addition, the consolidated financial statements of Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. and its subsidiaries were audited by other auditors; therefore, we issued audit instructions to their auditors as guidelines to communicate the key audit matters with them and obtained the feedbacks required in the audit instructions.

This is a non-recurring transaction to the Company, wherein the trading parties are its related parties. Therefore, the disposal of subsidiaries is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
The principal audit procedures on the disposal of its subsidiary included: assessing whether the transactions complies with the Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets by Public Companies and the Regulations of Internal Control System of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.; reading the contracts to fully understand the trading parties involved, prices, and other agreements; inspecting the external materials of cash proceeds and amendment of shares register; obtaining the audit report from other auditors on the date the Company lost its control over the subsidiary to be the base to recognize its profit (loss) using equity method accordingly; and evaluating the completeness of disclosure in the financial reports.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance 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 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’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.
-13-
3-3
As part of an audit in accordance with 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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 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.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investments in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
-14-
3-4
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 reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are YUNG-HUA HUANG and CHI-LUNG YU.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.: Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and the 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. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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, inclusive of the report from other auditors, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion, insofar as it relates to those subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the assets of these subsidiaries constitute 14% and 17%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the operating revenue of these subsidiaries constitute 14% and 13%, respectively, of the consolidated operating revenue.
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgments, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In our professional judgments, key audit matters to be communicated in the independent auditors’ report are listed below:
1. Evaluation of inventories
Please refer to Note 4(h) “Inventories”, Note 5 “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and Note 6(e) “Inventories” of the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Inventories of the Group are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the fast high-tech revolution, as well as the advancement of production technologies that may lead dramatic change in customers’ demand, the net realizable value of inventories requires subjective judgments of the management, which is the major source of estimation uncertainty. Therefore, evaluation of inventories is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the policies of evaluating the inventories of the Group; inspecting whether existing inventory policies are applied; examine the accuracy of the aging of inventories by sampling and analyse the changes of the aging of inventories; inspecting the reasonability for allowance provided on inventory valuation in the past and compare it to the current year to ensure that the measurements and assumptions are reasonable; sampling the inventories sold in the subsequent period to assess whether the allowance for inventories are reasonable.
In addition, the consolidated financial statements of certain subsidiaries were audited by other auditors, therefore, we issued audit instructions to their auditors as guidelines to communicate the above key audit matters with them and obtained the feedbacks required in the audit instructions.
2. Impairment assessment of intangible assets
- Please refer to Note 4(n) “Impairment non-financial assets”, Note 5 “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and Note 6(k) “Intangible assets” of the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
In 2014, the Company acquired Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. through its subsidiary, Diamond (Cayman) Holdings Ltd., and recognized its goodwill, technologies and customer relations as intangible assets. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, the assessment of imapirment contains estimation uncertainty. Therefore, the assessment of impairment of intangible assets is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
-21-
4-2
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
The principal audit procedures on the assessment of impairment of intangible assets included: evaluating the identification of cash generating units and any indication of impairment relating to intangible assets made by the management; acquiring intangible evaluation reports from external expert engaged by the Group; appointing our internal expert to review the evaluation reports and assessing the reasonability of measurements, parameters, and assumptions; evaluating the operation outcomes and comparing them to the past forecasts; making sensitivity analysis for evaluation of impairment losses and evaluating the completeness of disclosure in the consolidated financial reports.

Please refer to Note 4(c) “Basis of consolidation”, Note 4(i) “Discontinued operations”, Note 6 (g) “Loss of control of subsidiaries”, and Note 12 (b) “Discontinued operations” of the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The Company sold parts of its shares in its subsidiary, Global TEK Fabrication Co., Ltd, and lost control over the subsidiary on October 3, 2016.

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 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 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 omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
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.
-23-
4-4
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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are YUNG-HUA HUANG and CHI-LUNG YU.
