INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Walsin Lihwa Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Walsin Lihwa Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 reports of other auditors (as set out in the Other Matter 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, 2020 and 2019, 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 audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 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. We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China on February 25, 2020 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.
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 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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.
The following are the key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020:
Page 22 of 40
Sales Revenue Recognition
In 2020, the main products of the Group's wires and cables business unit include bare copper wires, wires and cables. The fluctuation in prices of bare copper wires is often subject to the movement in prices of raw materials, and thus some of the sales prices are set according to the market prices agreed under the contracts at the time of shipments. The Group prepares reports on point of sale transactions by referring to the actual shipments and market price adjustments as the basis for revenue recognition. Due to the large number of transactions and different market prices that have been agreed upon by customers, the processing, recording and maintenance of such reports are performed manually in which their amounts are significant to the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the accuracy of revenue recognized from sales of bare copper wires was considered as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 4 and 23 to the consolidated financial statements for related accounting policies and disclosure of information relating to revenue recognition.
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter were as follows:
-
We obtained an understanding and tested the reasonableness of revenue recognition policy and internal control procedures over the sales of bare copper wires, and evaluated the effectiveness of relevant internal controls.
-
We performed sampling and reconciliation of sales prices and quantities with their respective amounts in the contracts and verified the accuracy of market price adjustments.
-
We verified the accuracy of monthly reports by recalculating the sales revenue and confirmed that the recognized amounts were consistent with those recorded in the general ledger.
Other Matter
The financial statements of certain subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to such subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The total assets of such subsidiaries amounted to NT$10,148,841 thousand and NT$10,076,558 thousand, which constituted 6.70% and 7.30% of the Group’s consolidated total assets, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the total net operating revenue of such subsidiaries amounted to NT$18,427,711 thousand and NT$15,531,341 thousand, which constituted 16.37% and 11.52% of the Group’s consolidated total net operating revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The financial statements of certain equity-method investees included in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 was audited by other auditors. The investment in such investees decreased to NT$0 thousand as of December 31, 2019 and the investment loss amounted to NT$1,004,729 thousand, which constituted (21.20%) of the Group consolidated profit before income tax for the year ended December 31, 2019.
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Walsin Lihwa Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter.
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
Page 23 of 40
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 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 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.
-
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.
Page 24 of 40
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
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, 2020 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 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 Wen-Yea, Shyu and Kwan-Chung, Lai.
