A total of 439,800 vehicles were sold last year, a small increase of 1.1% compared to the 435,000 vehicles sold last year. However, the market share of imported cars has reached 47.7%, which has exerted certain impacts to domestic cars.

To make up for the loss, it is planned to utilize the special reserve of NT$15.145 billion and conduct the capital reduction of NT$5.729 billion. After the capital reduction, the Paid-in Capital is reduced to NT$10 billion with a reduction rate at about 36.4%, the financial structure will be improved, and the net value per share would be increased.

III. Promote the Open Platform of Automotive Industry:
In response to changes of the industrial environment, the Company has adjusted its strategies to satisfy more diversified customers. In addition to starting to serve as the OEM of and export tricycle motorbikes (ADIVA), the Company also has signed a joint venture agreement with Foxconn in this FY to establish a joint venture company to promote the open platform and shared business model. By combining the complementary advantages of the Company and Foxconn in vehicle R&D and ICT industry resources, it is expected to provide comprehensive solution services for global target customers.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Yulon Motor Company Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Yulon Motor Company Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Yulon Motor Company Ltd. as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 audit of the 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. We conducted our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 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 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.
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, 2019. 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 of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:
Impairment Assessment of Vehicle Model Development Cost and Molds of Luxgen Motor, Subsidiary Accounted for Using Equity Method
- 14 -
Please refer to Note 13 for details.
Due to the decline of sales volume of Luxgen in Taiwan and China, the Company identifies different models of vehicles as separate cash-generating units, and tests them for impairment at least annually. The Company also assesses the recoverable amount of accounts receivable and other receivables of Dongfeng Yulon Motor Co., Ltd. the car manufacturer of Luxgen in China. Because assessment of impairment and recoverable amount of an asset involves professional judgment, we determine the impairment assessment of the vehicle model development cost and molds equipment and the assessment of the recoverable amount of accounts receivable and other receivables of Dongfeng Yulon Motor Co., Ltd as key audit matters.
The main audit procedures we have performed in respect of the key audit matter stated above about impairment assessment of the vehicle model development cost and molds equipment as follows:
-
We understood the process and basis for the estimated growth rate and profitability of the sales forecast of the Company.
-
We reviewed whether the estimated operating cash flow considered the latest operating performance and industry overview.
-
We assessed the evaluation model used by the management.
-
We assessed the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used by the management in calculating the recoverable amount in accordance with the valuation model, including riskfree rate, volatility and risk premium. We verified that the WACC was consistent with the Company status and the industry.
-
We involved our internal financial services specialists in the assessment of net fair value.
The main audit procedures we have performed in respect of the key audit matter stated above about recoverable assessment of the recoverable amount of accounts receivable and other receivables of Dongfeng Yulon Motor Co., Ltd. were as follows:
-
We understood and assessed the reasonableness of the assumptions and methods used by management to analyze the financial position and recoverable amounts of Dongfeng Yulong Motor Co., Ltd.
-
We obtained the documentation of the management’s assessment of the recoverable amount of receivables and assessed whether the amount of allowance for impairment is sufficient as of the end of the reporting period.
Impairment of Trade Receivable of Yulon Finance Corporation and Its Subsidiaries (“YFC Group”), Subsidiary Accounted for Using Equity Method
The provision for impairment of trade receivables of YFC Group is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. YFC Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on YFC Group’s historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting period. Where the actual future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. The key assumptions and inputs used involved significant management judgment and estimation uncertainty; thus, this is determined as a key audit matter.
- 15 -
Our audit procedures included:
-
We understood the policies on impairment of trade receivable and assessed the reasonableness of impairment of receivables by performing inquiry, inspection and re-performance of related internal controls.
-
We involved our IT specialists in testing the system that generated related documents used by management in performing controls, in order to verify the correctness of the assumptions used in the default rate and expected loss rate.
-
We calculated the expected credit loss based on the impairment policy of YFC Group.
Other Matter
As described in Note 1, the Company obtained control and ability to direct the relevant activities of Haitec Co., Ltd. since December 31, 2019. The transaction was determined as a business combination of entities under common control. Therefore, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 have been restated.
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 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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’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, 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.
- 16 -
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 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.
-
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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company 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, 2019 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
- 17 -
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 Hsin-Wei Tai and Yu-Wei Fan.

Attachment 4:
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Yulon Motor Company Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Yulon Motor Company Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 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. We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 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.
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, 2019. 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.
- 25 -
Key audit matters of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:
Impairment Assessment of Luxgen’s Vehicle Model Development Cost and Molds, and the Assessment of Recoverable Amount of Dongfeng Yulon Motor Co., Ltd.’s Account Receivable and Other Receivables
(Please refer to Notes 4, 5, 12, 14, 21 and 30.)
Due to the decline of sales volume of Luxgen in Taiwan and China, the Group identifies different models of vehicles as separate cash-generating units, and tests them for impairment at least annually. The Group also assesses the recoverable amount of accounts receivable and other receivables of Dongfeng Yulon Motor Co., Ltd, the car manufacturer of Luxgen in China. Because the above-mentioned are an area of professional judgment, we determine the impairment assessment of the vehicle model development cost and molds equipment and the recoverable assessment of accounts receivable and other receivables of Dongfeng Yulon Motor Co., Ltd as key audit matter.
The main audit procedures we have performed in respect of the key audit matter stated above about impairment assessment of the vehicle model development cost and molds equipment as follows:
-
We understood the process and basis for the estimated growth rate and profitability of the sales forecast of the Group.
-
We reviewed whether the estimated operating cash flow considered the latest operating performance and industry overview.
-
We assessed the evaluation model used by the management.
-
We assessed the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used by the management in calculating the recoverable amount in accordance with the valuation model, including riskfree rate, volatility and risk premium. We verified that the WACC was consistent with the Group status and the industry.
-
Use of the independent financial adviser of the Firm to assist in the assessment of net fair value.
The main audit procedures we have performed in respect of the key audit matter stated above about recoverable assessment of accounts receivable and other receivables of Dongfeng Yulon Motor Co., Ltd as follows:
-
Understand and assess the reasonableness of the assumptions and methods used by management to analyse the financial position and recoverable amounts of Dongfeng Yulong Motor Co., Ltd.
-
Obtain the recoverable amount assessed by the management and assess whether the amount of allowance for impairment is sufficient for the end of the period.
-
26 -
Estimated Impairment of Trade Receivable
As described in Note 5, the determination of estimated impairment of trade receivable of the Group’s horizontal segments takes into consideration the present value of estimated future cash flows based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting period. Where the actual future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. The key assumptions and inputs used involved significant management judgment and estimation uncertainty; thus, this is determined as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included the following:
-
We understood the policies on impairment of trade receivable and assessed the reasonableness of impairment of receivables by performing inquiry, inspection and reperformance of related internal controls.
-
We involved our internal IT specialists in testing the system that generated related documents used by management in the evaluation and determination of default rate and expected loss rate; the tests verified the correctness of the assumptions used in the determination of default rate and expected loss rate.
-
We recalculated the impairment based on the impairment policy of the Group.
Other Matter
We have also audited the financial statements of Yulon Motor Company Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
As described in Note 1, the Group had the ability to direct the relevant activities of Haitec Co., Ltd, and had control since December 31, 2019. This transaction was determined to the business combination under common control. Therefore, the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of changes in equity statements and the consolidated statements of cash flows should be restated from December 31, 2018.
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 consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
- 27 -
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.
-
28 -
-
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, 2019 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 Hsin-Wei, Tai and Yu-Wei, Fan.
