INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Zero One Technology Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Zero One Technology Co., Ltd. and 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, 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the 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, 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.
Key audit matters for the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:
Valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts
Key Audit Matters
As indicated in Note 5 and Note 10, the management of the Group assesses the collectability of accounts receivable and valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts, based on the regulations of IFRS 9, and recognizes allowance for uncollectible accounts by lifetime expected credit losses. As the estimation of allowance for uncollectible accounts is subject to judgment of the management, we consider the valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts a key audit matter.
The following audit procedures
Our audit procedure includes evaluating the policy of recognizing loss allowance for expected credit losses, understanding and testing internal controls of allowance for uncollectible accounts by the management that are in line with periodic reviews, design and implement of relevant controls. We also obtain an aging analysis
- 10 -
report of accounts receivable for calculation the allowance for uncollectible accounts on the balance sheet date, and perform the procedure of sampling and auditing to evaluate the correctness of the aging analysis report, and examine the valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts and related reasons so as to evaluate the appropriate nature of the expected credit losses.
Allowance for inventory valuation loss
Key Audit Matters
The valuation of the inventory of the Group includes the estimate of net realizable value and the allowance for inventory valuation loss regarding outdated and obsolete inventory. Net realizable valuation, based on the historical data of market situation and similar products, of the inventory is the carrying amounts calculated by the estimate sales price deducts the estimate of input costs, and cost of goods sold, during the ordinary course of business. The material influence of market condition will affect the amount of net realizable valuation. Besides, the ratio of the allowance for inventory valuation loss is valued by inventory aging and the allowance for the actual loss. We consider the estimate of net realizable valuation, and the ratio of the allowance for inventory impairment loss of the outdated and obsolete inventories based on management's judgment, a key audit matter.
The following audit procedures
Our procedure includes understanding the accounting policies, valuation methods, and citation information originality for the inventory of the Group, obtaining information of the year-end allowance for inventory valuation loss and inventory aging analysis reports, sampling to ensure the reasonableness of the inventory as valued by net realizable value method and the inventory aging, and the carrying amount of the year-end allowance for inventory valuation loss fitting the Group’s accounting policy for allowance.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Zero One Technology Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and 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 members of 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.
- 11 -
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.
-
;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 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.
