【 Annex 3 】
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of 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 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). 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 Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the 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 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 of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
-10-
Recognition of supplier rebates
Description
Please refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policies on supplier rebates.
The Group is primarily engaged in sale of electronic and communication components. In line with industry practice, the Group has entered into rebate arrangements with its suppliers for various kinds and quantities of inventories. The Group calculates the amount of supplier rebates in accordance with the arrangement, and recognizes it as a deduction of accounts payable to suppliers, and also a deduction of cost of sales or inventory depending on whether the inventories have been sold. The Group pays the net purchase price, after confirmation that the rebate is granted and the credit memo from its suppliers has been received.
As the terms of different types of supplier rebates vary and changes frequently, and the calculation is complex, the Group relies on the information system to gather related transaction information, and manually matches each inventory category with its corresponding rebate term to calculate the supplier rebate that should be recognised. Since the supplier rebate is material to the financial statements, and requires more audit effort to address this audit matter, the recognition of supplier rebate has been identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A.Obtained an understanding and assessed the internal controls related to supplier rebates, and tested the effectiveness of relevant internal controls, to verify whether major supplier rebates had been reviewed by responsible management, and the inventory cost had been correctly deducted and paid in net amount based on the credit memo approved by suppliers;
-
B.Performed trend analysis on the ratio of supplier rebates to corresponding transaction amount;
-
C.Sampled supplier rebates and tested whether the transaction quantities which were used in the calculation were consistent with its original transaction data, and obtained arrangements and calculation worksheets to ensure that the rebate recognition was consistent with the arrangements;
-
D.Sampled the supplier rebates which were recognised before balance sheet date but have not yet been confirmed by suppliers, and verified its consistency and reasonableness with subsequent credit memos approved by suppliers after the balance sheet date, and confirmed whether there were any material differences; and
-
E.Performed confirmation of selected material accounts payable, examined whether there is a significant difference between the amount of supplier rebates recognized based on the arrangements and the amount indicated in the suppliers’ confirmation, and investigated the differences, if any.
Impairment assessment of goodwill
Description
Please refer to Note 4(17) for accounting policies on goodwill impairment, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to goodwill impairment, and Note 6(10) for details
-11-
of goodwill impairment.
The Group acquired 100% shares of stock of target companies or electronic components distribution business by cash or through exchange of shares of stock. The purchase price was allocated to the net identifiable assets acquired at fair value in accordance with the accounting policies on business combinations. The goodwill which was generated from purchase price allocation was presented in “Intangible assets - goodwill”. As at December 31, 2017, the Group’s goodwill amounted to NT$1,649,256 thousand.
Relative to the aforementioned acquired company and distribution business, some distribution business
were managed by other operating segments in the same district after the acquisition due to management purpose. After identifying the smallest cash generating unit which can generate independent cash flows, the Group used the expected future cash flows of each cash generating unit and proper discount rate to determine recoverable amount of goodwill, and assesses whether goodwill may be impaired. The above expected future cash flows of each cash generating unit are based on its own financial forecast for the next 5 years. As the assumptions used in the forecast requires management judgement and involves a high degree of uncertainty that may have a material effect in determining the recoverable amount and goodwill impairment assessment, we consider the impairment assessment of goodwill a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A.Assessed the consistency of smallest cash generating unit which was identified by management and used in goodwill allocation, and the lowest level at which management monitored the goodwill;
-
B.Assessed management’s assessment process of each cash generating unit and determined whether the future cash flows used in valuation model for the next 5 years are consistent with the operating plan which was approved by the Board of Directors;
-
C.As the recoverable amount was determined by value-in–use, ascertained the reasonableness of each estimated growth rate, discount rate and other significant assumptions and performed as the following:
-
(a)Compared the reasonableness of estimated growth rate with historical data and economic and external industry forecast information;
-
(b)Compared discount rate assumptions with respect to cash generating units’ capital cost and similar return on assets; and
-
(c)Checked the parameters of valuation model and the setting of calculation formula.
-
D.Compared the higher of recoverable amount and book value of each cash generating unit to verify the appropriateness of impairment assessment.
Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses
Description
Please refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to inventory valuation, and Note 6(4) for details of
-12-
inventory valuation. As at December 31, 2017, the Group’s inventories and allowances for inventory valuation losses were NT$34,176,655 thousand and NT$1,062,898 thousand, respectively.
The Group is primarily engaged in sales of various kinds of electronic components. Due to rapid technology innovations, short lifespan of electronic products and fluctuations in market prices, there is a higher risk of inventory losses due from market value decline or obsolescence. For non-obsolete inventories, the net realisable value is estimated based on the estimated selling price in a certain period around balance sheet date. For aged inventories and individually determined as obsolete inventories, the net realisable value is determined based on historical experience of inventory usage and sales discount. Since the amount of inventory is material, inventory types are various, sources of information in calculating the net realisable value of each type of inventories are many, and the identification of obsolete and damaged inventory and its net realisable value are subject to management’s judgement, we consider the assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A.Obtained an understanding and evaluated the process of inventory and warehouse management, examined the annual plan and participated in stock take to assess the effectiveness of management’s identification and controls on obsolete inventory;
-
B.Obtained an understanding of the Group’s nature of business and industry and assessed whether the provision policies and procedures were applied reasonably and consistently in all the periods; and
-
C.Obtained the net realisable value statement of each inventory, assessed whether the estimation policy was consistently applied, and tested relevant parameters, including the original data for sales and purchases and obtained supporting documents.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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.
-13-
Those charged with governance, including supervisors, 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 ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A.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.
-
B.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.
-
C.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D.Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E.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.
-
F.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
-14-
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 of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

【 Annex 4 】
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of 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 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). 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 Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the 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 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 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Recognition of supplier rebates
Description
Please refer to Note 4(9) for accounting policies on supplier rebates.
The Company is primarily engaged in sale of electronic and communication components. In line with industry practice, the Company has entered into rebate arrangements with its suppliers for various kinds and quantities of inventories. The Company calculates the amount of supplier rebates in accordance with the arrangement, and recognizes it as a deduction of accounts payable to suppliers, and also a deduction of cost of sales or inventory depending on whether the inventories have been sold. The Company pays the net purchase price, after confirmation that the rebate is granted and the credit memo from its suppliers has been received.
As the terms of different types of supplier rebates vary and changes frequently, and the calculation is complex, the Company relies on the information system to gather related transaction
-23-
information, and manually matches each inventory category with its corresponding rebate term to calculate the supplier rebate that should be recognised. Since the supplier rebate is material to the parent company only financial statements, and requires more audit effort to address this audit matter, the recognition of supplier rebate has been identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
F.Obtained an understanding and assessed the internal controls related to supplier rebates, and tested the effectiveness of relevant internal controls, to verify whether major supplier rebates had been reviewed by responsible management, and the inventory cost had been correctly deducted and paid in net amount based on the credit memo approved by suppliers;
-
G.Performed trend analysis on the ratio of supplier rebates to corresponding transaction amount;
-
H.Sampled supplier rebates and tested whether the transaction quantities which were used in the calculation were consistent with its original transaction data, and obtained arrangements and calculation worksheets to ensure that the rebate recognition was consistent with the arrangements;
-
I.Sampled the supplier rebates which were recognised before balance sheet date but have not yet been confirmed by suppliers, and verified its consistency and reasonableness with subsequent credit memos approved by suppliers after the balance sheet date, and confirmed that there was no material differences; and
-
J.Performed confirmation of selected material accounts payable, examined whether there is a significant difference between the amount of supplier rebates recognized based on the arrangements and the amount indicated in the suppliers’ confirmation, and investigated the differences, if any.
Impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method and goodwill
Description
Please refer to Note 4(10) and Note 4(14) for accounting policies on investments accounted for using equity method and goodwill impairment, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to goodwill impairment, and Note 6(6) and Notes 6(8) for details of investments accounted for using equity method and goodwill impairment.
The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) acquired 100% shares of stock of target companies or electronic components distribution business by cash or through exchange of shares of stock. The purchase price was allocated to the net identifiable assets acquired at fair value in accordance with the accounting policies on business combinations. The goodwill which was generated from purchase price allocation was presented in “Investments accounted for under equity method” and “Intangible assets - goodwill”.
Relative to the aforementioned acquired company and distribution business, some distribution business were managed by other operating segments in the same district after the acquisition due to management purpose. After identifying the smallest cash generating unit which can generate independent cash flow, the Group used the expected future cash flows of each cash generating unit and proper discount rate to determine recoverable amount of goodwill, and assesses whether goodwill may be impaired. The above expected future cash flow of each cash generating unit are based on its own financial forecast for the next 5 years. As the assumptions used in the forecast requires management judgement and involves a high degree of uncertainty that has a material effect on measured result of recoverable amount and affected the investments accounted for under equity method and goodwill impairment assessment. Thus, we consider the goodwill impairment valuation of each generating unit a key matter.
-24-
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
E.Assessed the consistency of smallest cash generating unit which was identified by management and used in goodwill allocation, and the lowest level at which management monitored the goodwill;
-
F.Assessed management’s assessment process of each cash generating unit and compared the consistency between future cash flows used in valuation model for the next 5 years and operating plan which was approved by the Board of Directors;
-
G.As the recoverable amount was determined by value-in–use, the evaluation process of the reasonableness of each estimated growth rate, discount rate and other significant assumptions included the following:
-
(d)Compared the reasonableness of estimated growth rate with historical data and economic and external industry forecast information;
-
(e)Compared discount rate assumptions with respect to cash generating units’ capital cost and similar return on assets; and
-
(f)Checked the parameters of valuation model and the setting of calculation formula.
-
H.Compared the higher of recoverable amount and book value of each cash generating unit to verify the appropriateness of impairment assessment.
Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses
Description
Please refer to Note 4(9) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to inventory valuation, and Note 6(3) for details of inventory valuation. As at December 31, 2017, the Company’s inventories and allowances for inventory valuation losses were NT$22,098,277 thousand and NT$840,973 thousand, respectively.
The Company is primarily engaged in sales of various kinds of electronic components. Due to rapid technology innovations, short lifespan of electronic products and fluctuations in market prices, there is a higher risk of inventory losses due from market value decline or obsolescence. For nonobsolete inventories, the net realisable value is estimated based on the estimated selling price in a certain period around balance sheet date. For aged inventories and individually determined as obsolete inventories, the net realisable value is determined based on historical experience of inventory usage and sales discount. Since the amount of inventory is material, inventory types are various, sources of information in calculating the net realisable value of each type of inventories are many, and the identification of obsolete and damaged inventory and its net realisable value are subject to management’s judgement, we consider the assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
D.Obtained an understanding and evaluated the process of inventory and warehouse management, examined the annual plan and participated in stock take to assess the effectiveness of management’s identification and controls on obsolete inventory;
-
E.Obtained an understanding of the Company’s nature of business and industry and assessed whether the provision policies and procedures were applied reasonably and consistently in all the periods; and
-
F.Obtained the net realisable value statement of each inventory, assessed whether the estimation policy was consistently applied, and tested relevant parameters, including the original data for sales and purchases and obtained supporting documents.

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 supervisors, 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 ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
G.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.
-
H.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.
-
I.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
J.Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going
-26-
concern.
-
K.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the 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.
-
L.Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the parent company only financial information of the entities or business activities within the parent company only financial statement 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 parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

- Article 13: Unless otherwise specified in the Company Act and the Articles of Incorporation, resolutions shall be adopted by a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders. The resolution by electronic votes shall be deemed adopted and shall have the same effect as if it was voted by casting ballots if no objection is voiced after inquiry by the chairman.
In case of objection, a ballet shall be cast for a vote by each motion or by each proposal (including election) to be determined by the chairman. Votes shall be counted separately.

-39-
officers or security personnel to leave the venue.
-
