INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Sunonwealth Electric Machine Industry Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sunonwealth Electric Machine Industry Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In Our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other independent accountants, as described in the other matters section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRlC), 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. We are independent of 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 base on the result that we audited and the audit reports of other accountants.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
Valuation of inventory
Please refer to Note 4(8) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy of inventories, Note 5(2)F for critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation and assumption uncertainty of inventories, and Note 6(5) for inventory valuation.
Description of key audit matter:
As of December 31, 2018, inventory was $1,794,369 thousand and accounted for 20% of the total assets. Due to rapid changes in technology may lead to write-downs of slow moving inventories to their net relizable values. As uncertainty exists in management's judgment when the determining the loss on inventory, the valuation of inventory has been identified as a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included the understanding of the feature of the product and the inventory aging to confirm the appropriateness of the inventory evaluation method ; testing the book value of the inventory to assess the rationality of the change in the impairment loss of the inventory, obtaining the inventory status of the Group and compare the actual write-offs of the past to assess the appropriateness of the depreciation and damage to the goods.
Revenue recognition
Please refer to Note 4(20) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy of revenue recognition, Note 5(1)C and Note 5(2)A for critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation and assumption uncertainty of revenue recognition, and Note 6 (24) for the description of revenue recognition.
10
Description of key audit matter:
The Group’s sales revenue is easily influenced by various factors such as the industry boom and market environment, and has a significant impact on the utilization rate of the Group (the levy of idle capacity loss), inventory risk and cash flow. Consequently, this is one of the key areas our audit focused on.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included testing the Group’s controls surrounding revenue recognition; inspecting customer orders and performing a test of revenue transactions which incurred within a certain period before or after the balance sheet date; analysis of the trend of product sales and comparing the number of relevant changes or differences with the budget to confirm whether there is a significant exception.
Other Matters
As described in Note 4(3) to the consolidated financial statements, we didn’t audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries were audited by the other auditors. Therefore, our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts and information disclosed, is solely based on the report of the other auditors. The figures as to these subsidiaries’ total assets amounted to $447,334 thousand and $447,350 thousand, representing 4.99% and 5.08% of the consolidated assets, and their total liabilities amounted to $304,169 thousand and $322,978 thousand, representing 6.29% and 6.96% of the consolidated liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively; their total revenues amounted $1,054,511 thousand and $1,065,868 thousand, representing 8.81% and 9.74% of the consolidated revenue, and their total comprehensive income amounted to $18,793 thousand and $30,967 thousand, representing 3.27% and 5.03% of the consolidated comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Sunonwealth Electric Machinie Industry Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
11
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 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 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 (inclusive of the Audit Committee) 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 omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
12
-
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 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, 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 re1ationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Sunonwealth Electric Machine Industry Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Sunonwealth Electric Machine Industry Co., Ltd. (the “Company") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In Our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other independent accountants, as described in the other matters section of our report, 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, 2018 and 2017, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and 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 parent company only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our 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 base on the results that we audit and the audit report of other accountants.
20
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 for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters of the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
Valuation of inventory
Please refer to Note 4(7) to the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policy of inventories, Note 5(2)G for critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation and assumption uncertainty of inventories, and Note 6(4) for inventory valuation.
Description of key audit matter:
As of December 31, 2018, inventory was $869,834 thousand and accounted for 11.8% of the total assets. Due to rapid changes in technology may lead to write-downs of slow moving inventories to their net realizable values. As uncertainty exists in management's judgment when the determining the loss on inventory, the valuation of inventory has been identified as a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included the understanding of the feature of the product and the inventory aging to confirm the appropriateness of the inventory evaluation method ; testing the book value of the inventory to assess the rationality of the change in the impairment loss of the inventory, obtaining the inventory status of the Company and compare the actual write-offs of the past to assess the appropriateness of the depreciation and damage to the goods.
Revenue recognition
Please refer to Note 4(19) to the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policy of revenue recognition, Note 5(1)D and Note 5(2)A for critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation and assumption uncertainty of revenue recognition, and Note 6 (21) for the description of revenue recognition.
21
Description of key audit matter:
The Company’s sales revenue is easily influenced by various factors such as the industry boom and market environment, and has a significant impact on the utilization rate of the Company (the levy of idle capacity loss), inventory risk and cash flow. Consequently, this is one of the key areas our audit focused on.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included testing the Company’s controls surrounding revenue recognition; inspecting customer orders and performing a test of revenue transactions which incurred within a certain period before or after the balance sheet date; analysis of the trend of product sales and comparing the number of relevant changes or differences with the budget to confirm whether there is a significant exception.
Other Matters
We did not audit the financial statements of investments accounted for using the equity method that are included in the parent company only financial statements. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the parent company only financial statements is based solely on the audit reports of other independent accountants. The balance of these investments accounted for under the equity method amounted to $126,809 thousand and $ 109,447 thousand, constituting 1.72% and 1.54% of total assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and share of profits of subsidiaries was $15,400 thousand and $32,803 thousand, constituting 2.09% and 4.09% of profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
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.
22
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 (inclusive of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' 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 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 parent company only 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 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.
-
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.
23
-
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 auditors' report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' 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 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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion .
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all re1ationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

-
Article 1: Unless otherwise specified by law or the Articles of Incorporation, the shareholders' meetings of the Company shall be implemented in accordance with this Policy.
-
Article 2: The Company shall provide an attendance log to record attendance of shareholders in attendance; alternatively, attendance cards may be presented to signify their presence at the meeting. The number of shares represented during the meeting is calculated based on the total amount registered in the attendance log or the attendance cards collected.
-
Article 3: Shareholders' attendance and votes are determined by the number of shares represented during the meeting.

If the Chairman is unable to perform such duties due to leave of absence or any reason, the Vice Chairman shall act on the Chairman's behalf. If the Vice Chairman is also unavailable or is non-existent, the Chairman may appoint one of the Managing Directors to act on the Chairman's behalf. If the Company does not have a Managing Director, one of the Directors shall be appointed to act on the Chairman's behalf. If no such designation is made by the Chairman, the Managing Directors or Directors shall select one person from among themselves to serve as chair. If the shareholders' meeting is convened by an authorized party other than the Board of Directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the authorized convener.

Article 8: The chair shall announce the commencement of the meeting as soon as it is due. However, if the attendants represented less than half of the Company's outstanding shares, the chair may announce to postpone the meeting up to two times, for a period totaling no more than one hour. If after two postponements the number of shareholders present is still insufficient while representing at least one third of the total issued shares, provisional resolutions may be adopted in accordance with Article 175, Paragraph 1 of the Company Act. If the number of shares represented during the meeting accumulates to more than half of all outstanding shares before the meeting ends, the chair may re-propose the tentative resolution for final voting according to Article 174 of the Company Act.
-
Article 9: If the shareholders' meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors

The above rule also applies if the shareholders' meeting is convened by any authorized party other than the Board of Directors. In either of the two arrangements described above, the chair cannot dismiss the meeting while an agenda item (including extraordinary motions) is still in progress. If the chair violates the meeting policy by dismissing the meeting when it is not allowed to do so, the attending shareholders may elect another chair with the support of more than half of voting rights represented and continue the meeting.
-

If the shareholder's actual comments differ from those stated on the opinion slip, the actual comments expressed shall be recorded. While a shareholder is speaking, other shareholders shall not speak simultaneously or interfere in any way unless agreed by the chair and the person speaking. Any violators shall be restrained by the chair.
-
Article 11: Each shareholder shall speak no more than twice, for a maximum of five minutes each, on the same agenda item unless otherwise agreed by the chair. The chair may stop shareholders from speaking if they violate the rules or speak outside the agenda item under discussion.

This voting method is as effective as does the conventional ballot method.
33
-

The LED lighting industry was one of the most promising green energy industries in the 21st century. With the increase in global energy conservation, carbon reduction, and environmental protection awareness, LED light bulbs' 80% energy savings over traditional light bulbs continues to power rapid growth in the industry. Sunonwealth's LED cooling modules uses high-efficiency active cooling with unique ventilation designs that direct air flow to components at the power source to cool the chip and lower the temperature of internal components at the same time. It effectively improved the useful life of LED lights and the high-efficiency heat dissipation of the active cooling make LED lighting products lighter and smaller. It effectively resolves cooling issues for LED lights with high lumen and small footprints. In addition to providing LED cooling modules, Sunonwealth also provides comprehensive cooling designs for entire lamps to greatly reduce the time required for design conceptualization, repeated verification and tests and mass production of products. It allows customers to take the lead in grasping market opportunities in a competitive market.
As network technology progresses and the IoT continues to develop, servers and network communication equipment have become important infrastructure in many countries. With long periods of 24-hour operations, fast transmission, zero-interruption, energy efficiency, and weather resistance are basic requirements for all communication products. To provide communication equipment with optimal heat dissipation solutions, Sunonwealth has designed various fan control and fan module products with high air volume, high air flow pressure, wide voltage adaptation, high IP protection, energy efficient, and power failure brake circuit design are compatible with international communication protocols. In addition, we have also developed anti-vibration motor structure designs for high air volume and high air flow pressure fan products to reduce the vibration and noise of high-speed operations. The motors completely satisfy the cloud industry equipment market's requirements for the design of cooling products.
In terms of automotive applications, in response to the increase in green energy and environmental protection awareness and the rapid development of electric vehicles, Sunonwealth's fan products have gradually been expanded from traditional automotive applications to various electronic applications in electric vehicles. Our products are used in the CPUs of advanced driver
41
assistance systems and trip computers and our customers include major automobile manufacturers such as Tesla, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, and Jaguar. As cars gradually become smarter, the proportion of automotive electronics applications has grown each year and automotive electronics has become the source of 90% of the innovation in the current automotive industry. Various applications for cleaner energy, safer, smarter, and more comfortable vehicles are being developed. Cooling design has become a key technology for maintaining the maximum performance of high-end electronics products. Since 1999, Sunonwealth has accumulated years of experience in projects with European and American automobile manufacturers and we provide products with high reliability, high protection, high temperature resistance, vibration resistance, acid corrosion resistance, salt fog resistance (GR487 certification), dust resistance, waterproof, and certified in 1000 desert tests that meet cooling and ventilation requirements of the automotive industry and satisfy automobile manufacturers' high demand for quality.
In the past ten or more years, the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have gradually been ceased in the refrigeration, air-conditioning, and fire safety equipment produced around the world due to the Montreal Protocol. The levels of these substances have been gradually reduced each year and the Antarctic ozone hole was finally minimized and stabilized this year. Countries have outlawed or reduced the use of such substances while fluorine-free and environmentally friendly refrigerants have been adopted in more and more refrigeration equipment. As most environmentally friendly refrigerants are produced from hydrocarbons which are flammable and explosive, Sunonwealth has begun producing ultra-high efficiency energy-saving EC fans for commercial refrigeration equipment to effectively control surface temperature during operations and maintain them within a safe range so that no short circuits in internal parts can cause any flame. This prevents any high temperature of flames or explosions and make Sunonwealth's EC Axial Fans safer for customers' designs and usage.
Global warming has caused severe climate issues in recent years and countries began to pay more attention to energy conservation, carbon emissions reduction, and sustainable development of the environment. Sunonwealth's international customers with whom we have worked for many years began transitioning from traditional motors to energy-efficient DC motors and Sunonwealth has advanced greatly in energy-efficient motor technologies and environmentally friendly materials for products. Sunonwealth has accumulated technologies for energy-efficient motors and abundant experience in industrial cooperation and R&D for many years. We have established a series of ultra-energy-efficient DC ventilation products for sectors that still use traditional motors in 2015. The futuristic products consume 80% less energy and are ultra-quiet, waterproof, flame retardant, and equipped with multiple protection technologies that provide people with safer, more comfortable, and more energy-efficient ventilation products. In addition to adopting the latest motor technologies for our products, we surpassed traditional constraints in the external design of the products by integrating LED lighting and ventilation design and adopting minimalist styles for control panels. Our products have received the iF product design award in Germany and the Taiwan Excellence Silver Award. They provide the home environment with superior ventilation products.
