INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders Yulon Nissan Motor Company, Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Yulon Nissan Motor Company, Ltd. (the Company), 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, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company 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 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.
- 12 -
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.
Depreciation of Molds and Dies
In the application of IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the depreciable amount of an asset should be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. The Company depreciates molds and dies on the basis of unit of production method and examines the estimated units sold of each model according to the changes of market semiannually for a basis to calculate amounts allocated to each mold and die. Depreciation of molds and dies in 2016 was $412,271 thousand. The amount of depreciation of molds and dies is significant and estimates of units sold are highly dependent on management’s judgment. Therefore, the depreciation of molds and dies is considered to be a key audit matter.
The related accounting policy and critical accounting judgements are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5 to the financial statements, respectively; the related amounts are disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements.
We obtained the information and documents regarding the estimated number of units of future sales by each model from management, and assessed the rationality and reliability of the supporting information. In addition, we sampled the transactions of molds and dies to verify original documents and cash flows and performed procedures such as field inventory and confirmation. Besides, we recalculated the amount of depreciation of molds and
- 13 -
dies on the basis of estimated production volume in order to assess rationality of calculated depreciation and accuracy of carrying amount.
Moreover, we compared whether there was a significant difference between the amended estimated number of units of future sales used in the financial statement last year and the actual sales units, so as to evaluate the appropriateness of the management’s estimation.
Provision for Warranty
According to IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, provisions are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting date. The provision for warranty is calculated on the basis of estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car and estimated units subject to warranty during the future warranty period. The estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car is calculated based on average of actual warranty expense in the past and estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty at the end of every quarter. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of provision for warranty was $136,731 thousand. Due to the management’s use of judgments in estimating the number of units of cars subject to warranty, warranty provision recognized is considered to be a key audit matter.
The related accounting policy and critical accounting judgements are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5 to the financial statements, respectively; the related amounts are disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements.
We obtained from management the information and documents regarding the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty during warranty period from management, and assessed the rationality and reliability of the supporting information. In addition,
- 14 -
we sampled the ledgers of actual warranty expenditure this year to verify original documents and cash flows and we recalculated the amount that should be of provision for warranty according to the warranty policy.
Moreover, we compared whether there was a significant difference between the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty used in the financial statements last year and the actual units of cars subject to warranty, so as to evaluate the appropriateness of the management’s estimation.
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 independent directors and supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
- 15 -
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 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with 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.
-
16 -
-
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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the 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.
- 17 -
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 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 partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Wan-I Liao.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders Yulon Nissan Motor Company, Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Yulon Nissan Motor Company, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Group), 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, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group 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
- 27 -
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, 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.
Depreciation of Molds and Dies
In the application of IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the depreciable amount of an asset should be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. The Group depreciates molds and dies on the basis of unit production method and examines the estimated units sold of each model according to the changes of market semiannually for a basis to calculate amounts allocated to each mold and die. Depreciation of molds and dies in 2016 was $412,271 thousand. The amount of depreciation of molds and dies is
- 28 -
significant and estimates of units sold are highly dependent on management’s judgment. Therefore, the depreciation of molds and dies is considered to be a key audit matter.
The related accounting policy and critical accounting judgements are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, respectively; the related amounts are disclosed in Notes 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
We obtained the information and documents regarding the estimated number of units of future sales by each model from management, and assessed the rationality and reliability of the supporting information. In addition, we sampled the transactions of molds and dies to verify original documents and cash flows and performed procedures such as field inventory and confirmation. Besides, we recalculated the amount of depreciation of molds and dies on the basis of estimated production volume in order to assess rationality of calculated depreciation and accuracy of carrying amount.
Moreover, we compared whether there was a significant difference between the amended estimated number of units of future sales used in the consolidated financial statements last year and the actual sales units, so as to evaluate the appropriateness of the management’s estimation.
Provision for Warranty
According to IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, provisions are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting date. The provision for warranty is calculated on
- 29 -
the basis of estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car and estimated units subject to warranty during the future warranty period. The estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car is calculated based on average of actual warranty expense in the past and estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty at the end of every quarter. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of provision for warranty was $136,731 thousand. Due to the management’s use of judgements in estimating the number of units of cars subject to warranty, warranty provision recognized is considered to be a key audit matter.
The related accounting policy and critical accounting judgements are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, respectively; the related amounts are disclosed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements.
We obtained from management the information and documents regarding the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty during warranty period from management, and assessed the rationality and reliability of the supporting information. In addition, we sampled the ledgers of actual warranty expenditure this year to verify original documents and cash flows and we recalculated the amount that should be of provision for warranty according to the warranty policy.
Moreover, we compared whether there was a significant difference between the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty used in the consolidated financial statements last year and the actual units of cars subject to warranty, so as to evaluate the appropriateness of the management’s estimation.
- 30 -
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.
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 independent directors and supervisors, 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
- 31 -
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.
-
32 -
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient 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 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
- 33 -
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 would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Wan-I Liao.
