Message to our Shareholders

Message to our Shareholders

Dear esteemed Qisda shareholders,

In 2016, Qisda’s consolidated revenue reached NT$129.6 billion. The consolidated net income was NT$4.49 billion, and the consolidated profit after tax was NT$4.07 billion. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was NT$4.34 billion, with an after tax earnings per share at NT$2.21.

Due to the unstable global economy and the rapidly changing industry environment, the market demand for monitors and projectors was sluggish. However, the competition remained fierce. Despite the challenges, Qisda continued with its corporate transformation in business development and enhanced its competitive edges by concentrating on three main operating focuses – optimization of existing business operations, rapid expansion of the medical business, and acceleration of solution development.

  1. Optimization of existing business operations: Qisda sustained a steady progress and a market leadership position with its two main product lines: monitors and projectors. The monitor product business group continued to invest in the development of professional and medical monitors, as well as high-end and high-unit-price products. As a result, 2.2 million high-end and professional monitors were sold in 2016. Taking as a whole, the monitor product business performed better than the industry average and ranked number 2 in the world. The projector product business ranked number 1 among the global ODM manufacturers. Other than introducing projector models with 10,000 lumens brightness and interchangeable lenses to the market, Qisda also launched the world’s first DLP 4K UHD LED projector. With the solid improvement in product mix, sales of high-unit-price models upheld 25% of the total projector sales.

  2. Rapid expansion of the medical business: In 2016, Qisda’s consolidated revenue from the medical business exceeded NT$6.5 billion, and revenue from both Suzhou and Nanjing BenQ Hospitals maintained a leaping growth. In terms of medical business development, Qisda offered 3D dental implant integrated services via BenQ AB DentCare Corp, a joint venture with AB Dental of Israel. Furthermore, Qisda also entered into the hemodialysis field through cooperation with Medica SPA of Italy.

  3. Acceleration of solution development: In order to become a comprehensive hardware and software solution provider, Qisda has targeted its development strategies on six smart fields including Smart Store, Smart Factory, Smart Energy, Smart Enterprise, Smart Education and Smart Health Care. In 2016, Qisda strengthened its market sales by cooperating with channel partners like Chunghwa Telecom and successfully gained market footholds in China and emerging countries like the Middle East area by working closely with local hardware and software service providers while offering more diverse services and products that harmonize with the demand of local markets.

For 2017, Qisda will continue to aim at the three main operating focuses in order to further create long-term values for the company. The plans are as follows:

  1. Optimization of existing business operations: Continue to focus on developing high-end, high-definition, large-sized and professional monitors for medical, graphic design and gaming applications to increase sales proportion and profit margin. Expand projector market share and hold the global leading position by offering 4K UHD models and increase the lineup of high-end and high brightness projectors.

  2. Rapid expansion of the medical business: Prioritize sales channel penetration in China and ASEAN countries among all objectives. Develop proprietary products and technologies such as ultrasound, oral scanner and hemodialyzer. On the other hand, develop surgical equipment, supplies, professional 3D integrated implant service and digital operating room information system by integrating group resources. Win-win acquisition and joint venture strategies will also be adopted to further strengthen Qisda’s share on the medical business market.

  3. Acceleration of solution development: Other than speeding up the integration of group resources, Qisda will also leverage resources from 3[rd] parties including Fortune 500 companies, such as Microsoft and Intel, as well as resources from companies invested by Qisda, such as DFI, Partner Tech, Aplex Tech and other local specialized mid-size companies. Qisda will keep finding opportunities in cooperating with influential regional system integrators.

Message to our Shareholders

Qisda maintains its competitive advantage by stressing on innovation and technological development. An average of 2%~3% of its annual revenue was spent each year in research and development, which earned Qisda approximately 1,100 patents around the world.

Qisda is committed to sustainable development. In 2016, Qisda remained highly transparent in sustainable indicators, such as economic, environmental, social responsibilities, etc. Qisda received not only the 2016 Taiwan Corporation Sustainability Awards from the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy under the TOP 50 Corporate Sustainability Report Award category and the Best Performance for Climate Leadership category, but also the Corporate Social Responsibility Aware from the Global View Magazine. Qisda also ranked number 5 in Channel NewsAsia Sustainability Ranking for its efforts in economic, environmental and social responsibilities.

Qisda is extremely grateful to shareholders for their long-term support and encouragement. The management team will continue to work relentlessly to deliver the greatest benefit to both the company and its shareholders.

Sincerely,

K.Y. Lee, Chairman Peter Chen, President

Operational Guidelines

Business Scope

1. Overview of Business Operations

LCD Monitor: Qisda maintains the 2[nd] largest DMS (Design and Manufacturing Services) manufacturer in the industry. Qisda will continue to focus on fortifying relationship with customers, developing new product features and engaging in value-added vertical integration activities such as panel module assembly and in-house mechanical parts manufacture. As to the brand business, the overall market volume slightly decreased 1.6%. The worldwide market share of BenQ brand LCD monitors increased slightly in 2016 with the company’s continuous focus on the development and growth of high-end professional e-sports and large-sized monitors. Furthermore, BenQ continued with its active pursuit of research and development of new functions for professional and integrated design display solutions to capture a bigger chunk of the professional monitor market.

Projector: Qisda’s DMS projector business maintained the leading position worldwide in 2016. Qisda is the only manufacturer in Taiwan that is capable of both DLP and LCD projector mass production and shipment. As to the brand business, BenQ remained the world’s 2[nd] largest projector brand and the No.1 DLP projector brand in 2016. Compared with 2015, the global projector market volume slightly decreased 5%. Nevertheless, BenQ still maintained a 12% market share. In addition, Qisda and BenQ launched the first 4K UHD projector product line worldwide in 2016 to aggressively address the professional audio video market.

Industry Overview

1. Current Status and Trends in Development of the Industry

LCD Monitor: As indicated by market research reports, LCD monitor market declined at an annual rate of 3% in 2016. The market forecast for LCD monitors in 2017 is expected to have a 2.2% further decrease due to unstable politic and economic circumstances and the impact of the substitution effect caused by handheld devices. Moreover, the competition among system integrators will also remain severe. In order to enhance the competitive edges, Qisda is planning to place its focus on value-added product development and optimization of vertical integration in supply chain with economies of scale.

Projector: According to industry analysis reports, the total number of projector shipment worldwide with brightness over 500lms was 7.2 million units in 2016, with a flat or minor growth expectation for 2017. The volume ratio for high brightness, high resolution and non-light ball (LED and laser) source projectors will continue to increase in the future.

4

Overview of Operations

In addition, the growth in large venue, home and personal/mobile scenarios enables the sales volume of projectors with 1080P, 4K and 3D/HDR features to grow rapidly. Educational and office applications are supposed to decline due to the expansion of flat panel displays.

Medical Service: The medical market in China is expected to grow rapidly in parallel with the country’s swift economic development and increase of medical insurance coverage. Plus, the country’s governmental policies encourage the establishment of non-governmental medical institutes and such policies will further accelerate the expansion of market size of non-governmental hospitals.

2. Overview of Supply Chain

LCD Monitor: Upstream business partners consist mainly of LCD panel manufacturing and module assembling plants, including key components such as LCD panels, LED backlight modules and control chipsets. Midstream and downstream partners include system integrators and brand customers, which represent a mature and competitive market. Qisda has developed and maintained strong and long-term relationship with all of its upstream strategic suppliers and downstream brand customers.

Projector: Upstream partners consist of a line of optoelectronic device makers, including panel chipset, lens and specialized lamp manufacturers. Midstream and downstream partners include projector manufacturers and brand customers. An intimate yet intricate relationship exists amid upstream, midstream and downstream partners as alliance and competition intertwines among business competitors.

Medical Service: The Nanjing BenQ Hospital is one of the first civil pediatric doctor standardization bases in the Jiangsu Province of China where 50 pediatric doctors were trained annually. In 2011, the hospital became the fourth clinical school of the Nanjing Medical University with 11 clinical professors and established a cooperation and transfer procedure with top-level medical centers in Jianyeh, Lishui, Pukou and Luhe District of Nanjing City as well as medical cooperation with secondary-level medical centers in nearby cities such as Yangzhou, Huaian and Ma An Shan in the same province and Chuzhou, Hefei in the Anhui Province. The Suzhou BenQ Hospital opened in May 2013 and is now a subordinate hospital of the Nanjing Medical University.

3. Trends in Development and Market Competition of the Company’s Product

LCD Monitor: The LCD monitor market is getting more mature and saturated in recent years. Going forward, in addition to focusing on cost-competitiveness and supply flexibility, more effort will be made on the development of monitors with various differentiated new functions and special applications. They include high resolution, wide-viewing-angle, and curved panels, edge-to-edge design, cloud application, specialized professional applications or other niche customized product offerings. All of them will serve as common grounds for brand customer and ODM to collaborate on.

Projector: The projector market has expanded as improvements applied to commercial projectors accelerated due to the advent of the latest technologies. In addition to an economical price tag, projectors have become smaller and lighter while the brightness and resolution have been vastly enhanced. It is estimated that the demand for projectors may increase globally with the expansion of high-resolution and high-brightness projectors for meeting rooms and multi-media home entertainment projectors for home theaters. Meanwhile, due to the popularity of personal mobile devices and variety of wireless data applications, the growth of personal and home multimedia markets over the entertainment one is becoming a foreseeable trend in the future.

Medical Service: The Chinese government has permitted private and foreign capitals to invest in the medical service industry. In 2015, the State Council of China issued “Master plan for developing national medical service system” and “The opinion for reforming public hospital” indicating that the government should inhibit the growth of public hospital and encourage private hospitals. Taiwan investors, such as the Formosa Plastic group, Want Want group and BenQ group as well as a number of renowned domestic medical organizations, all actively filed applications in order to seek new opportunities abroad. In 2015, the Medical Fund Across the Taiwan Straits also invested in the establishment of a new hospital in Quenzhou City of China.

8

Overview of Operations

Medical Service:

  • (1) Positive factors: The total medical expenditure in China increased rapidly during the last decade at a 16.7% combined growth rate. Meanwhile, the medical expenditure to GDP ratio was only 6% in 2015, which was low comparing to the level of 10% in developed countries. A high entry barrier bars competitors from entering into the general hospital business and years of hospital management experience also makes it impossible for competitors to catch up instantly.

  • (2) Negative factors: Over 90% of the hospitals in China are state-owned, and doctors usually hesitate about joining private-owned hospitals. This forms an obstacle in personnel recruitment and development.

  • (3) Strategies: China government encourages the investment of hospitals by private capitals. In the future, private-owned hospitals will gradually benefit from policies that were only favorable to their state-owned counterparts in the past. With highly advanced hospital management skills and an experienced team backed by the strength of vertical integration within the BenQ group, undoubtedly the BenQ Hospitals will become the leader in the field of medical industry in China.

Dividend Policy

According to Qisda's Article of Incorporation, the company's dividend policy is as follows:

After making the final settlement of account, the Company shall allocate the net profit, if any, according to the following sequences: paying the taxes, making up loss for preceding years, setting aside 10% thereof for legal reserve, setting aside or reversing special reserve in accordance with the regulations of the competent authorities. If there is any residual amount after deducting the amounts stated above, together with accumulated unappropriated retained earnings can be distributed after the distribution plan proposed by the Board and approved by the shareholders’ meeting.

The Company is belonged to technological and capital capacity high tech industry and is in the growing period. In order to execute long-term capital planning and satisfy the shareholders with cash flow demand, the Company adopts dividend surplus as its dividend policy. Therefore, the Company could keep growing and operating ever. If the Company has surplus profit at the end of the fiscal year, when distributing dividend, the Company should consider the future expanding and cash flow demand and distribute dividend by stock mainly and cash partially. Principally, the ratio of cash dividend to total dividend should not lower than 10% of total dividend.

Attachment 1 Independent Auditor’s Report & Audited Financial Statements

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors Qisda Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Qisda Corporation 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 then ended, and 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 then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, interpretations as well as related guidance endorsed 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 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 Auditor’s 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 are stated as follows:

  1. Revenue recognition

  2. Please refer to notes 4(17) and 6(22) for the accounting policy on revenue recognition and “Revenue” for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to consolidated financial statements. Description of key audit matter:

The Group has several operating segments. Each segment engages in different business activities. In addition, the Group has operations spread globally. The Group recognizes its revenue depending on the various trade terms in each individual sale transaction and service rendered, which are considered to be complex in determining the timing of revenue recognition. Consequently, the revenue recognition has been identified as one of the key audit matters. How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matters above, our principal audit procedures included testing the design and operating effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls over financial reporting in the sales and collection cycle; assessing whether revenue is recognized based on the trade terms with customers through reviewing the related sales contracts or other trade documents; performing a sample test of sales transactions that took place before and after the balance sheet date to identify the timing of transfer of risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and assessing the reasonableness of the timing of revenue recognition; reviewing and understanding the reasonableness for any identified significant sales returns and allowances that took place after the balance sheet date, as well as assessing whether the revenue and related sales returns and allowances is recognized in appropriate period.

  1. Valuation of inventories

  2. Please refer to notes 4(8), 5 and 6(5) for the inventory accounting policy, “Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty” for estimation uncertainty of inventory valuation, and “Inventories” for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the rapid technological innovations and highly competitive environments in the electronic industry, the life cycle of certain products of the Group are short and their market prices fluctuate rapidly, which could possibly result in a price decline and obsolescence of inventory, wherein the inventory cost may exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as one of the key audit matters.

19

Company Financials

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included reviewing the inventory of aging report and analyzing the fluctuation of inventory aging; selecting samples to verify the accuracy of the net realizable value of inventories and inventory aging report prepared by the Group; evaluating whether valuation of inventories was accounted for in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies; and assessing the historical reasonableness of management’s estimates on inventory provisions. Moreover, comparing with inventory provisions recognized in the current year to evaluate the reasonableness of inventory provisions.

  1. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) Please refer to notes 4(15) and 5 for the accounting policy on impairment of non-financial assets, and “Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty” for estimation uncertainty of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets impairment, respectively, of the notes to consolidated financial statements. Description of key audit matter:

One of the Group’s operating segments (“Material”, i.e. the Company’s subsidiaries, “BenQ Material Corp. and its subsidiaries”) is an independent cash-generating unit. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the operating segment amounted to $4,847,669, constituting approximately 5% of consolidated total assets. In order to increase market competitiveness and reduce the operation cost, the operating segment has determined to terminate certain production lines, which resulted in a net loss in 2016. As a result of this, there is a significant risk of impairment on the non-financial assets of the operating segment. The recoverable amount of these assets has been determined based on the discounted cash flow forecasted by the management, and this process involved management judgment and significant uncertainties. Accordingly, the assessment of asset impairment has been identified as one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included assessing the reasonableness of the discount rate used by the management in measuring the recoverable amount by comparing it to internal and independent sources; evaluating the historical reasonableness of the management’s estimation of the prior year’s forecasted cash flows; and evaluating the reasonableness of the key assumptions including the revenue growth rate, gross margin ratio and operating expense ratio used by the management by comparing them to internal and independent sources.

Other Matter

Qisda Corporation has additionally 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 audit opinion.

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, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 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 members of the 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 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 exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identified and assessed 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.

  • Company Financials

    1. Obtained 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.
  • Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Concluded 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.

  • Evaluated 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.

  • Obtained 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 remained solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicated 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 identified during our audit.

We also provided 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 determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and are therefore the key audit matters. We described these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determined 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 Tzu-Chieh Tang and Wei-Ming Shih.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors Qisda Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the parent-company-only financial statements of Qisda Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the parent-company-only balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the parent-company-only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and 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 of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 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 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent-company-only 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s parent-company-only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 are stated as follows:

  1. Revenue recognition

  2. Please refer to notes 4(15) and 6(18) for the accounting policy on revenue recognition and “Revenue” for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to the parent-company-only financial statements. Description of key audit matter:

  3. The Company recognizes its revenue depending on the various trade terms in each individual sale transaction and service rendered, which are considered to be complex in determining the timing of revenue recognition. Consequently, the revenue recognition has been identified as one of the key audit matters. How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matters above, our principal audit procedures included testing the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in the sales and collection cycle; assessing whether revenue is recognized based on the trade terms with customers through reviewing the related sales contracts or other trade documents; performing a sample test of sales transactions that took place before and after the balance sheet date to identify the timing of transfer of risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and assessing the reasonableness of the timing of revenue recognition; reviewing and understanding the reasonableness for any identified significant sales returns and allowances that took place after the balance sheet date, as well as assessing whether the revenue and related sales returns and allowances is recognized in appropriate period.

  1. Valuation of inventories

Please refer to notes 4(7), 5 and 6(5) for the inventory accounting policy, “Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty” for estimation uncertainty of inventory valuation, and “Inventories” for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to the parent-company-only financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the rapid technological innovations and highly competitive environments in the electronic industry, the life cycle of certain products of the Company are short and their market prices fluctuate rapidly, which could possibly result in a price decline and obsolescence of inventory, wherein the inventory cost may exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included reviewing the inventory of aging report and analyzing the fluctuation of inventory aging; selecting samples to verify the accuracy of the net realizable value of

28

Company Financials

inventories and inventory aging report prepared by the Company; evaluating whether valuation of inventories was accounted for in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies; and assessing the historical reasonableness of management’s estimates on inventory provisions. Moreover, comparing with inventory provisions recognized in the current year to evaluate the reasonableness of inventory provisions.

  1. Impairment of assets (excluding goodwill)

  2. Please refer to notes 4(13), 5 and 6(6) for the accounting policy on impairment of non-financial assets, and “Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty” for estimation uncertainty of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets impairment, respectively, of the notes to the parent-company-only financial statements. Description of key audit matter:

The Company’s subsidiaries, “BenQ Material Corp.” (recorded as “investments accounted for using equity method”) decided to increase market competitiveness and reduce the operation cost, and BenQ Material Corp. has determined to terminate certain production lines, which resulted in a net loss in 2016. As a result of this, there is a significant risk of impairment on the non-financial assets of BenQ Material Corp. The recoverable amount of these assets has been determined based on the discounted cash flow forecasted by the management, and this process involved management judgment and significant uncertainties. Accordingly, the assessment of asset impairment for BenQ Material Corp. has been identified as one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included assessing the reasonableness of the discount rate used by the management of BenQ Material Corp. in measuring the recoverable amount by comparing it to internal and independent sources; evaluating the historical reasonableness of the management’s estimation of the prior year’s forecasted cash flows; and evaluating the reasonableness of the key assumptions including the revenue growth rate, gross margin ratio and operating expense ratio used by the management by comparing them to internal and independent sources.

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 members of the 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 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 parent-company-only financial statements.

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

  1. Identified and assessed 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.

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

  4. Concluded 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

29

Company Financials

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.

  1. Evaluated 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.

  2. Obtained 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 remained solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicated 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 identified during our audit.

We also provided 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 determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent-company-only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and are therefore the key audit matters. We described these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determined 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 Tzu-Chieh Tang and Wei-Ming Shih.
