ANNEX 1

NEO SOLAR POWER CORPORATION

2016 BUSINESS REPORT

2016 was still a challenging year for Taiwan solar industry. The market demand for solar industry has been gradually recovered in the second-half of year 2015, and has entered into a virtuous cycle. However, suffering from China’s Feed-in Tariff installation deadline passed after mid-2016, solar demand due to solar system installation rush has becoming slow. Plus the overcapacity of China multicrystalline solar cells all leaded to the slump in average selling price (ASP). Even so, under the continuous promotion from governments worldwide and support from emerging markets, the global demand for solar market in 2016 reached 70GW, which is representing more than 20% YoY growth as compared with 57GW in year 2015. (According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s research)

Thanks to the valuable support from our shareholders and the continuous efforts from our human capital, Neo Solar Power was capable of keeping its steady pace to obtain new sales orders from new regions, diversifying manufacturing and enlarges solar module business and downstream solar system project business. We also maintained the sound financial structure to face rapidly changing solar industry nowadays.

Our commitment to focus on manufacturing prime-quality and high added-value solar solutions has enabled us to build long-lasting relationships with our clients in the solar industry. Neo Solar Power continuously devotes to R&D and develops high efficiency products. In 2016, we rolled out three new competitive mono cell products: n-type HJT solar cell “Hello 22”, p-type PERC solar cell “Black 21” and p-type PERC Bifacial solar cell “Black 21-BiFi” at Intersolar in Munich. The newly developed six-inch n-type HJT solar cell “Hello 22” has maximum efficiency of 22.2% with excellent LID resistance and with very low temperature coefficient of power, which can generate more electricity in high temperature environment. Black 21”, the mass-production six-inch p-type Mono PERC cell has been improved to maximum cell Efficiency of 21.4%. This product offers light induced degradation (LID) lower than that of p-type cells and low potential induced degradation (PID). Further, the new p-type PERC bifacial solar cell, named “Black 21-BiFi”, had been developed with front-side maximum cell efficiency of 20.8%. The equivalent cell efficiency can reach 23.9% with 15% more power generated from rear side. NSP not only use conventional cost-competitive equipment to manufacture high-efficiency cells, but also continue to devote to next-generation R&D which again our leadership of technology and quality in solar industry.

11

For Module product, NSP rolled out two new monocrystalline module products: p-type PERC half-cut module “PEACH Series” and p-type PERC Bifacial double glass module “Glory BiFi G2G Series” at 2016 PV Taiwan. NSP PEACH series modules use NSP’s top-of-the-line p-type Mono PERC cells “Black 21”, which have maximum cell efficiency of 21.4%. NSP further uses half-cut technology to boost the maximum power to 325W in 60-cell modules. This product offers light induced degradation (LID) lower than that of regular monocrystalline p-type cells and reduces 50% shading power loss. The 2nd new product, the double glass module “Glory series BiFi G2G”, is with bifacial p-type PERC mono cells. Glory series modules implement superior salt resistant and anti-yellowing designs. They are suitable for harsh environments such as salt pans, fish ponds, deserts, etc., which is assumed to be a perfect solution for PID issue.

In 2016, Neo Solar Power won Taiwan Excellent PV Award again from Taiwan’s Bureau of Energy for its high-efficiency cell product and module product for four consecutive years. It is worth mentioning that NSP is the only one solar company which won this award in both solar cell and module sectors and this award winning module is the only product that surpasses 300Wp output among other winning products. This showed that the quality and standard of NSP’s cell & module products have met worldwide PV industry’s requirement, giving recognition to the outstanding performance of NSP module in solar electrical energy generation.

In view of prosperous future development and the stable cash inflows from solar system projects, NSP continuously increase solar system investment. In year 2016, NSP joined hands with Cathay Life Insurance Co. Ltd to co-invest a new company to enlarge Taiwan Solar System Project investment. The capital of this new co-invest Taiwan YieldCo is planned to be NT$3.5 billion with two phases capital injection and the first capital injection of NT$1.5 billion has been completed last year. Besides, in order to enhance NSP’s competitive advantages and to leverage funds from global capital markets, NSP has completed the formation and investment of USD44 million in the solar IPP (“Independent Power Producer”) company, Clean Focus Yield (“CFY”). CFY would further raise around USD100 million funds from other financial investors, which will enable CFY to acquire around 300MW solar system projects. CFY will also plan for public listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Then, NSP will not only enjoy profit from development, construction, and sale for global solar system projects, but also can enjoy potential capital gains from IPP Company, enlarging sales pipeline for solar cells & solar modules which will continue to bring growth momentum for NSP.

Neo Solar Power was the Silver Award winner for 2016 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Report recognized by Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy. This is not only the recognition for our contribution towards society and environments, but also helps to

12

enhance corporate’s tangible as well as intangible value.

Further, NSP will increase total module capacity from 670MW to 800MW~1GW in Taiwan for the favorable government policy and increased domestic market demand.

  • B. R&D development

  • We intend to increase market share by focusing on process technology improvements and product development to manufacture high-quality solar cells with high conversion efficiencies on a cost-effective basis and on a large scale. In addition, NSP will also focus on R&D toward crucial technologies to increase our patent portfolio and entering next-generation product development, such as N-Type HJT solar cell to create more entry barriers to maintain our mid to long-term competitive advantages.

  • C. Financials We will continuously maintain a solid financial structure to react to market fluctuations and ensure stable growth and development of Neo Solar Power.

  • D. Sales and Marketing Strategy

13

Neo Solar Power will cultivate current business relationships with global tier 1 clients. In order to expand the market share for our modules, we will develop new clients from emerging markets and establish our module brand in global markets to acquire more trust and recognition from solar system clients and the banking industry.

  • E. Solar System Projects Business

  • NSP will continue to replicate the successful business model to construct solar system projects along with NSP own solar cells and modules. In addition to the existing solar farm projects in Japan, the United States, UK and Taiwan, we will continue to expand business into new territories such as Central-South America and the Middle East in year 2017 and complete its vision of building a global network of solar farms. The expansion of NSP Group’s worldwide solar system projects will increase our sales pipelines for solar cells and modules. Integrating businesses of solar cells, solar modules, and solar systems will enable NSP to have a complete portfolio in mid-downstream supply chain of solar industry.

Looking into 2017, to keep our long-term competitiveness, NSP is proactively doing business transition, including reducing negative-margin multicrystalline manufacturing capacity and increasing advanced technology & higher-margin monocrystalline products to differentiate the market and remove irrational price competition of multicrystalline solar cells. In addition, NSP will continue to devote to R&D and downstream solar system project business expansion to react to market fluctuations. NSP’s excellent management team possesses strong semiconductor industry experiences and vast solar device physics expertise. They will continue to strive to improve our corporate governance, operating performance, our client service quality, our business development and fulfill corporate social responsibility to maximize shareholder value for years to come.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Neo Solar Power Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Neo Solar Power Corp. (the Corporation), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the 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 (refer to the Other Matter section of this report), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of 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 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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.

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

Revenue recognition

The Corporation’s major income source is solar cell and module sales. In 2016, revenue from the sale of solar cells and modules decreased 19.59% observably compared with the last year’s corresponding period (refer to Note 23 to the accompanying financial statements for details on revenue). Also, the customers of the Corporation changed significantly this year. Thus, regarding revenue recognition, there may be a high risk that revenue did not occur.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. Understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls over revenue recognition to assess whether revenue recognition had

17

been approved appropriately and the rights and risks of ownership had already been transferred.

  1. Confirmed the accuracy of the amounts and timing of revenue recognition by selecting samples and obtaining relevant evidence.

  2. Confirmed the authenticity of the background information for the 10 largest new customers.

Assessment of impairment losses on receivables

The amounts of accounts receivable and installment accounts receivable of the Corporation were significant. The assessment of impairment losses on receivables by key management personnel was related to estimations of future cash flows and the identification of rates for recognizing impairment losses. Therefore, the assessment of impairment losses on receivables is a key audit matter. Accounting policies on impairment losses on receivables can be found in Notes 4n and 5 to the accompanying financial statements. For the description of impairment losses on receivables, refer to Note 10 of the financial statements.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. Assessed the reasonableness of key management personnel’s method of recognizing impairment losses; the reasonableness of information, assumptions and formulas; and whether the methodology has been adopted consistently, while also reviewing relevant calculations.

  2. Tested the accuracy and completeness of aging classifications from the receivables aging report which was used for calculating the allowance for impairment loss.

  3. Performed confirmation procedures for customers with significant receivable closing balances, and requested sales evidence for each non-response customer to prove the reasonability of the closing balance.

  4. Selected samples of the closing balances of receivables to perform a test on receivables received in the subsequent period, which proved the recoverability of the receivables.

Assessment of impairment losses on tangible assets and goodwill

The Corporation plans to reduce its current productivity as well as implement a reorganization and reconstruction, since there is intense competition in the solar industry. Accordingly, there are indications of impairment losses on tangible assets and goodwill. The impairment losses are dependent on estimations of the future cash flows expected to arise from cash-generating units and the suitable discount rate used in order to calculate the present value. The assessments of the impairment losses, income and expenses that may occur in the future, and independent cash flows for particular asset groups are based on a subjective judgment related to asset usage patterns and industry-specific characteristics. Therefore, the assessment of impairment losses on tangible assets and goodwill is a key audit matter. Accounting policies on impairment losses on tangible assets and goodwill can be found in Notes 4j, 4l and 5 to the accompanying financial statements, while the description of impairment losses on tangible assets and goodwill can be found in Notes 14 and 15 to the financial statements.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. Assessed the reasonableness of key management personnel’s method of recognizing impairment losses.

  2. Assessed the reasonableness of information, assumptions and formulas used for recognizing impairment losses.

18

  1. Assessed whether the methodology for the assessment of impairment loss has been adopted consistently by the key management personnel.

  2. Reviewed relevant calculations.

Other Matter

The financial statements of some investee companies accounted for using the equity method as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were audited by other auditors. The amounts within the financial statements for those investee companies were based solely on the report from other auditors. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the aforementioned investment accounted for using the equity method was NT$1,644,917 thousand and NT$1,823,867 thousand, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Corporation’s share of losses on the aforesaid investment accounted for using the equity method was NT$(278,193) thousand and NT$(211,014) thousand, respectively.

The financial statements of some investee companies accounted for using the equity method as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are based on a different framework of the accompanying financial statements and which we have not audited, were audited by other auditors in accordance with different auditing standards. We have performed compulsory audit procedures for transferring adjustments of the reports to be in accord with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. The financial statement amounts for the aforementioned investee companies were based on the report of other auditors and the result of additional audit procedures enacted 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. As of December 31, 2016, the aforesaid investment accounted for using the equity method was NT$1,369,590 thousand. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the share of losses on the aforesaid investment accounted for using the equity method was NT$(112,484) thousand.

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 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 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 Corporation’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 Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ 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 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,

19

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.

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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 Corporation’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. 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 Corporation’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 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 Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 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.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Corporation to express an opinion on the 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.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and are therefore the

20

key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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 Cheng-Chih Lin and Shu-Chieh Huang.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Neo Solar Power Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Neo Solar Power Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Corporation), 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 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 other auditors (refer to the Other Matter section of this report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

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

Revenue recognition

The Corporation’s major income source is solar cell and module sales. In 2016, revenue from the sale of solar cells and modules decreased 22.12% observably compared with the last year’s corresponding period (refer to Note 27 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for details on revenue). Also, the customer base of the Corporation changed significantly this year. Thus, regarding revenue recognition, there may be a high risk that revenue did not occur.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. Understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls over revenue recognition to assess whether revenue recognition had been approved

28

appropriately and the rights and risks of ownership had already been transferred.

  1. Confirmed the accuracy of the amounts and timing of revenue recognition by selecting samples and obtaining relevant evidence.

  2. Confirmed the authenticity of the background information for the 10 largest new customers.

Assessment of impairment losses on receivables

The amounts of accounts receivable and installment accounts receivable of the Corporation were significant. The assessment of impairment losses on receivables by key management personnel was related to estimations of future cash flows and the identification of rates for recognizing impairment losses. Therefore, the assessment of impairment losses on receivables is a key audit matter. Accounting policies on impairment losses on receivables can be found in Notes 4n and 5c to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For the description of impairment losses on receivables, refer to Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. Assessed the reasonableness of key management personnel’s method of recognizing impairment losses; the reasonableness of information, assumptions and formulas; and whether the methodology has been adopted consistently, while also reviewing relevant calculations.

  2. Tested the accuracy and completeness of aging classifications from the receivables aging report which was used for calculating the allowance for impairment loss.

  3. Performed confirmation procedures for customers with significant receivable closing balances, and requested sales evidence for each non-response customer to prove the reasonability of the closing balance.

  4. Selected samples of the closing balances of receivables to perform a test on receivables received in the subsequent period, which proved the recoverability of the receivables.

Assessment of impairment losses on tangible assets and goodwill

The Corporation plans to reduce its current productivity as well as implement a reorganization and reconstruction, since there is intense competition in the solar industry. Accordingly, there are indications of impairment losses on tangible assets and goodwill. The impairment losses are dependent on estimations of the future cash flows expected to arise from cash-generating units and the suitable discount rate used in order to calculate the present value. The assessments of the impairment losses, income and expenses that may occur in the future, and independent cash flows for particular asset groups are based on subjective judgment related to asset usage patterns and industry-specific characteristics. Therefore, the assessment of impairment losses on tangible assets and goodwill is a key audit matter. Accounting policies on impairment losses on tangible assets and goodwill can be found in Notes 4j, 4l, 5a and 5d to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, while the description of impairment losses on tangible assets and goodwill can be found in Notes 17 and 18, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements.

29

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. Assessed the reasonableness of key management personnel’s method of recognizing impairment losses.

  2. Assessed the reasonableness of information, assumptions and formulas used for recognizing impairment losses.

  3. Assessed whether the methodology for the assessment of impairment loss has been adopted consistently by key management personnel.

  4. Reviewed relevant calculations.

Other Matter

Some subsidiaries included in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors. The amounts within the consolidated financial statements for those subsidiaries were based solely on the report from other auditors. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, total assets of the aforementioned subsidiaries were 23.84% and 17.38% of the consolidated total assets, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the operating revenue of these subsidiaries were 4.02% and 4.71% of the consolidated total operating revenue, respectively.

The financial statements of some investee companies accounted for using the equity method as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were audited by other auditors. The amounts within the consolidated financial statements for those investee companies were based solely on the report from other auditors. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the aforementioned investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$68,889 thousand and NT$65,824 thousand, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there was a gain of NT$11,363 thousand and a loss of NT$8,064 thousand, respectively, from the aforesaid investments accounted for using the equity method.

Some subsidiaries included in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are based on a different framework of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and which we have not audited, were audited by other auditors in accordance with different auditing standards. We have performed compulsory audit procedures for transferring adjustments of the reports to be in accord with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. The consolidated financial statement amounts for the aforementioned subsidiaries were based on the report of other auditors and the result of additional audit procedures enacted 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. As of December 31, 2016, total assets of the aforementioned subsidiaries were 1.60% of the consolidated total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2016, the operating revenue of these subsidiaries was 0.26% of the consolidated total operating revenue.

The financial statements of some investee companies accounted for using the equity method as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are based on a different framework of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and which we have not audited, were audited by other auditors in accordance with different auditing standards. We have performed compulsory audit procedures for transferring adjustments of the reports to be in accord with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. The consolidated financial statement amounts for the aforementioned investee companies were based on the report of other auditors and the result of additional audit procedures enacted 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. As of December 31, 2016, the aforesaid investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$1,297,472 thousand. For the year ended December 31, 2016, gains on the aforesaid investment accounted for using the equity method were NT$33,184

30

thousand.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of the Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with Other Matters and an unqualified-modified opinion, respectively.

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 (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 Corporation’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 Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’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:

  1. 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

31

collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  1. 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 Corporation’s internal control.

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

  3. 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 Corporation’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 Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. 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.

  5. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Corporation to express an opinion on the consolidated 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.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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

32

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 Cheng-Chih Lin and Shu-Chieh Huang.
