Metal Manufacturing Segment
CMP Hsinchu Plant:
The overall revenue of the Hsinchu Plant in 2019 was burdened by the US-China trade
war that caused export orders in the agricultural machinery, woodworking machinery,
public works and other industries less robust than expected. Nonetheless, Hsinchu
Plant made constant efforts to develop new products and increase market share,
8
securing a satisfactory result in the domestic sales of spinning products, whose market
share in Taiwan had been increased to 20% from 10%. Thanks to these efforts,
Hsinchu Plant enjoyed an increase in the overall revenue compared with the last year.
Apart from the efforts to expand revenue sources, Hsinchu Plant launched measures
to control manufacture cost and strengthen corporate strength since the latter half of
the year, in an attempt to respond to the changes in the global economic environment.
Looking forward to 2020, we will continue to cut expenditures in Q1 until orders bottom
out and rise. In terms of business, we will focus on the development of new customers
and products on the one hand and make full use of the advantage in production
capacity to win over more orders from our existing customers on the other hand. By
such a two-pronged strategy, we will strive to achieve the expected goals.
China Metal International Holdings Inc. (CMI):
Despite the global economic turmoil following the US-China trade war that led to
reduced revenue in 2019, CMI secured the net profit margin of 2019 comparable to
2018 by continuously striving for excellence, actively strengthening corporate
strength and advancing the circular economy, as well as the contribution of
government subsidies. The key points are as follows:
1. In 2019, over ten video conferences on different themes were held to exchange
experiences of various factories. In the future, such exchanges and seminars will
continue to be held to publicize CMI’s management philosophy and promote inter-
factory technology integration.
2. In December 2019, Suzhou CMS Machinery Co., Ltd. (CMS) and Suzhou CMB
Machinery Co., Ltd. (CMB) were awarded certification as “A-Class Suzhou City
Enterprises Exempted from Discontinued/Limited Production for Staggered Peak
Production during Fall, Winter and Heavy Pollution Weather Emergency Controls.”
CMW (Tianjin) Industry Co., Ltd. (CMW) was also granted the exemption from
discontinued/limited production from the local environmental protection bureau. CMI
factories have been improving themselves in terms of environmental protection and
circular economy, holding a lead in the government’s green indicators. In addition,
efforts are continuously made to improve the working environment and contribute to
9
social environmental protection.
3. The new CMI (Wu Han) Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. (CMH) plant officially started
construction in October 2019. In the first phase of the new plant, two DISA molding
lines are to be constructed. Due to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, the
project is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. The initial production of
products has been arranged, and the recruitment and training of relevant personnel
reserved for the new plant are also underway in CMB.
Atrans Precision Industries Co., Ltd.:
Despite the negative influence of the US-China trade war, Atrans Precision achieved
slightly higher annual revenue than the previous year due to the benefits from such
positive factors as the strengthening of the US dollar in the first half of the year as well
as price adjustments and urgent orders. Moreover, various internal improvement
measures taken in 2018 have begun to show up their effectiveness, leading to a
significant increase in operating gross profit and net income after tax as compared to
2018.
In 2019, various aspects of Atrans Precision were continuously perfected. In addition
to equipment replacement and performance optimization, we cooperated with CMP
Group to introduce PLM, MES and other systems to provide immediate and preventive
management, with the goal of improving our software and hardware strengths in a
phased planning method and ultimately come true the transformation and upgrading
plan.
However, it can be expected that the new coronavirus disease will cast a negative
impact on the business climate and industry supply and demand in 2020. Apart from
assisting existing customers in making corresponding preparations, Atrans Precision
will continue to strengthen its strengths and develop new products with high added
value and customers to buffer the adverse effects of the disease and contribute to the
CMP Group’s profit.
10
China Metal Japan Co., Ltd. (CMJ):
In 2019, CMJ managed to achieve the sales and profit targets once again. The
transmission shaft products and assembly parts exported to the U.S. through triangular
trade performed noticeably well in 2019. Coupled with the delayed purchases from
Indonesia, CMJ secured a sales profit exceeding the original target.
Our subsidiary SST also achieved remarkable sales performance exceeding
expectation in gear and camshaft components.
CMJ continued to carry out CMP Group's specific project business, including the
development of businesses including cast iron parts, differential carriers, engine parts,
and brake calipers, finally contributing to the sales in 2019.
Looking forward to 2020, CMJ will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. Despite the
slight influence of the coronavirus outbreak on the business, CMJ will uphold a prudent
attitude as always, develop long-term and medium-term plans, and set up a strategic
basis to facilitate the implementation of related operation and management measures.
China Metal Automotive International Co., Ltd. (CMAI):
Due to the unfavorable factors including more than a year’s US-China trade war,
punitive tariff measures, and General Motors’ nationwide strike lasting nearly one and
a half months since the mid-September, the sales of exhaust pipes had been
significantly affected, leading to reduced profit of CMAI in 2019 compared to 2018.
In terms of operations, in order to cooperate with CMI to expand customer business
and avoid high punitive tariffs under the Section 301, CMAI established satellite
warehouses in Ames, Iowa, USA, and Toronto, Canada, in February and August 2019
respectively. These two warehouses have successfully replicated the logistics supply
chain and connected to the main system, laying the foundation for the future expansion
to other North American states or European countries.
Looking forward to 2020, the US-China trade war appears to become a new normal,
neither deteriorating nor cooling down. As such, to seek new markets outside the U.S.
11
for existing Chinese suppliers and to seek new suppliers outside China for existing
American customers turn into two main development directions of CMAI. Efforts have
been made in this respect since the second half of 2019, and fruits are to be yielded in
2020. In addition, business personnel are also paying sustained attention to the
development of the EV industry and keep in touch with relevant procurement personnel.
It is expected to enter the industry at an appropriate time, in the hope of occupying a
place in the new energy vehicle market.
Furthermore, in order to improve organizational efficiency and reduce operating
expenses, CMAI has launched a lean organization plan and taken actions to rationalize
processes to enhance competitiveness since the beginning of 2020.
Real Estate Development Segment
PUJEN Land Development Co., Ltd. (PUJEN):
Taiwan's real estate market in 2019 was in the bottoming stage as a whole. Corporate
brand force turned out to be the most critical factor that contributed to the noticeable
performance of PUJEN. The real estate project PUJEN Yongji has been sold out by
our own salespersons within 5 months since launching. The project PUJEN Yifang in
Jing Lane, Dunhua North Road is to be launched at the end of the year, and it is
expected to be open for sales soon. In addition, the project CMP Midtown, another
masterpiece of CMP Group in Taichung has also been released in March 2019 and
secured high market recognition and sales success under joint efforts of working
partners.
Although the overall downturn in the luxury housing market weighed on the selling of
“CMPJ Residence de L’aqua” that features high unit price and high total price, the
project still won extensive praises from customers by virtue of its excellent planning,
high quality and rareness despite of the decreased overall revenue in 2019.
PUJEN seems poised to earn much in land development in 2020. Concrete progress
12
is to be made in an array of urban renewal and joint construction projects, including
Qingcheng St Project, Renai Rd Project, Xinyi Rd Project, Jinan Rd Project, Roosevelt
Rd Project, and Zhongshan Project 2. Some new projects developed in response to
the government's vigorous promotion of the laws and regulations governing the
renovation of old and dilapidated houses, such as Ronghua 2nd Rd Project and
Qingcheng No. 1 Project, are to complete construction and be open for sales. The
projects under construction including CMP Midtown, Ching-Geng Yanji, PUJEN
Yangmu and PUJEN Yongji all are underway with quality as planned, with the goal of
providing our customers with the best housing quality.
Looking forward to 2020, despite the fact that the real estate market has entered the
era of low profits and the recent coronavirus outbreak presumably adds variables to
the market, the Company still adheres to the three operating strategies, namely “stable
operation,” “operational transformation,” and “operational excellence.” Remaining true
to our original aspiration, we devote ourselves to the urban environment where we live
by developing lands, focusing on seeking the harmonious relationship between the
land and human feelings.
Lifestyle Hospitality Segment
Park Lane by CMP:
Park Lane by CMP completed the renovation of the street stores in the west light food
area in July 2019, and introduced Sarutahiko Coffee shop and FLIPPER'S light food
store, with the seating area further expanded to enhance business performance. In
September, the remodeling of the Eslite Bookstore and Eslite Wine Cellar at the 3rd
floor was completed, elevating the overall brightness of the stores, adding light food
and retail sales, and introducing the Yonshin Tea & Cake Selection Ba in an attempt
to drive the performance growth of the whole floor. The 14th and 15th floors were
leased to Star Hostel as hotels, which started business in October, with the goal of
attracting different customer groups for the mall.
13
Since 2019, a new edition of Parklane Membership APP has been officially launched
to provide more complete membership information and higher convenience of use, in
a bid to improve the loyalty of members. The parking lot was performed wall finishing
and painting to significantly uplift the impression and degree of identification of
customers when using the parking lot.
The Hotel National Co., Ltd. (The Hotel National):
In response to the situation in 2019, the Hotel National made great efforts to
develop OTA customer sources and was granted the“Golden Ring Award”
from the hotel booking website Agoda, receiving highly positive comments from
customers.
Looking forward to 2020, the Hotel National will strengthen training courses for
employees to enhance their professional competence and bring better services to
guests, thus improving its performance. Meanwhile, the control on manpower and
catering costs is getting rigorous to improve the Hotel National’s profit situation. Due
to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, the revenue is expected to decrease in the
first half of 2020 compared with the same period of last year. Given this situation, guest
rooms and catering operations will be adjusted to increase revenue, and the number
of employees will be downsized to save labor costs, in the hope of reducing operating
losses caused by the epidemic.
Shangri-La Tourism Co., Ltd. (Shangri-La):
In 2019, Shangri-La continued to accumulate the brand strength of CMP Village and
won the recognition of index awards such as foreign and domestic tourism experience
and architectural art, with the goal of stepping out of Taiwan and developing overseas
high-end Chinese markets with CMP's brand, the Forest BIG.
Looking forward to 2020, Shangri-La will transform the brand marketing momentum,
invite cooperative brand partners, and launch new collaboration programs and
14
operating models. By these actions, Shangri-La strives to extend its tentacles
horizontally to the elite in the industry, so as to maintain flexibility for the service
business model during the future transformation. Concurrently, Shangri-La has also
entered the stage of application of design proposals for approval, hoping that once the
transition is completed, the operating status will improve and swing back to profit.

Those matters have been addressedin our audit opinion on the said financial statements and during the formation of our audit opinion.

1. Revenue recognition
For the revenue recognition account policy, please refer to Note 4(r); for the details of the revenuerecognition during the years, please refer to Note 6(u).
Description of key audit matter:
China Metal Products Co., Ltd.’s revenue from the sale of the steel products is recognized when the controlof the goods has been transferred to the customer and there is no continuing management involvement andeffective control with the goods. The revenue is recognized when the control of the goods has beentransferred which is deemed by transaction terms in each sales contract stipulated by the customer and ChinaMetal Products Co., Ltd.. The operating revenue from the sale of the steel products is easily affected by thelaw of supply and demand principal and other factors in the market. Therefore, the revenue recognition isconsidered as one of the key audit matters.

As of the reporting date, the Company has paid $46,174 thousand and estimated theregarding litigation provision at $236,052 thousand.
The estimation of litigation contingent liabilities is based on the management's assessment of the result oflitigation which is likely to be unfavorable to the Company. However, there are significant uncertainties inthe litigation. Therefore, the litigation provision estimation is considered as one of the key audit matters.
Corresponding audit procedure:

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 accordancewith Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internalcontrol as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing China Metal Products Co., Ltd.’sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate China Metal Products Co., Ltd.or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee or supervisors) are responsible for overseeingChina Metal Products Co., Ltd.'s financial reporting process.
38
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’ s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a materialmisstatement 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 userstaken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, weexercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement 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.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness ofChina Metal Products Co., Ltd.’s internal control.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast significant doubt on China Metal Products Co., Ltd.’ s ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to therelated 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 auditor’s report. However,future events or conditions may cause China Metal Products Co., Ltd. to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
5. 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 thatachieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities orbusiness activities within China Metal Products Co., Ltd. to express an opinion on the financial statements.We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solelyresponsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control thatwe identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters thatmay reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
39
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key auditmatters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuo-Yang Tseng andShih-Chin Chih.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of FinancialStatements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic ofChina. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for theAudit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of CMP Group inaccordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (the“Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe thatthe audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

China Metal Products Co., Ltd. has additionally prepared its parent company only financial statements as of andfor the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Based on our professional judgment, key audit matters pertain to the most important matters in the audit ofconsolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 of CMP Group. Those matters havebeen addressed in our audit opinion on the said consolidated financial statements and during the formation ofour audit opinion. However, we do not express an opinion on these matters individually. The key audit mattersthat, in our professional judgment, should be communicated are as follows:
1. Revenue recognition
For the revenue recognition account policy, please refer to Note4(r); for the details of the revenuerecognition during the years, please refer to Note 6(y).
45
Description of key audit matter:
The revenue recognition of CMP Group’s product selling is the timing of the transfer of control varied by theindividual terms of the sales agreement, which is mainly at the time when the goods are loading to the exportship and to the determined shipping point. The recognition of revenue is also varied by the terms ofacceptance and return of goods in the sale contracts between CMP Group and the clients who are largevehicle parts suppliers and manufacturers. CMP Group evaluates the terms of the sale contracts individuallyto determine the timing of revenue recognition.
There is risk of misstatement when the timing of revenue recognition is earlier than the transfers of control.The revenue from cast iron products selling is recognized when customers collect the goods from theshipping warehouse (the transfer of control). CMP Group’s revenue recognition is based on the regardingdocuments or other information provided by custodian of the shipping warehouse. Due to the shippingwarehouse is located in Atlanta, USA, the providing schedule and contents of information from the custodianusually involves human factors. It may result in inappropriate revenue recognition or inconsistent inventoryrecord. Therefore, the revenue recognition is considered as one of the key audit matters.
Corresponding audit procedure:
Our main audit procedures for the above key audit matters include: understanding and evaluating the design,operation and implantation of the effectiveness of internal control on revenue recognition; understanding themajor types of revenue, contract terms and transaction terms to determine the appropriateness timing ofrevenue recognition, also sampling the major customers and reviewing the contracts and sales orders toevaluate the revenue recognition; sampling the transaction records of sales around the balance sheet date andobtaining the transaction documents (i.e. delivery order signed by the recipient, bill of lading, documentsfrom the warehouse custodian) to evaluate the appropriateness timing of revenue recognition; comparing theactual sales return and discount after the financial reporting date with the estimated allowance for salesreturn and discount on the financial reporting date and the previous financial reporting period to evaluate thereasonableness of the estimation; evaluating whether the recognition period of inventory and cost of goodssold is appropriate; performing inventory observation and checking the inventory quantity with the records.
2. Allowance for accounts receivable
For the estimation of allowance for bad debt accounting policy, please refer to Note 4(g); for the significantassumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty of the loss allowance of accountsreceivable, please refer to Note 5; for the details of the loss allowance of accounts receivable during theyears, please refer to Note 6(d).
Description of key audit matter:
The loss allowance of accounts receivable for CMP Group is based on the management’s judgments of theestimation of the expected credit loss which comprised of the credit reliability of the customers, the currentmarket, forward-looking estimation and customer-specific terms. The estimation involves subjectivejudgment. The balance of accounts receivable is significant and the current economic and environment riskincrease the risk of recovering. Therefore, the estimation of accounts receivable loss allowance is consideredas one of the key audit matters.
46
Corresponding audit procedure:
Our main audit procedures for the above key audit matters include: understanding and evaluating the design,operation and implementation of the effectiveness of internal control on management’ s credit control ofcustomers, recovery of the receivables and the estimations of allowance for receivables; evaluating theappropriateness of the accounting policies regarding the allowance for receivables, sampling sales invoicesand comparing them with other transaction documents to check the accuracy of receivable aging;understanding and recalculating the rolling rates of overdue accounts receivable and expected loss rates toevaluate whether the management estimation of the loss allowance is considered the customers’ industrystatus, the receivables overdue status, forward-looking estimation and payment records; sampling thereceivables for cash collecting after the balance sheet date.
3. Litigation provision assessment
For the accounting policy of litigation provision assessment, please refer to the Note 4(q) Provisions; for theaccounting estimate and uncertain hypothesis, please refer to Note 5; for the details of estimated litigation,please refer to Note 6(s).
Description of key audit matter:
Sunflower Investment Co., Ltd. had sought administrative remedies for the administrative penalties arosefrom enterprise income tax, value-added tax, and undistributed earning tax of the Daguangsan non-performing receivable case, which the total amount of tax and penalties amounted to $564,452 thousand. Asof the reporting date, CMP Group has paid $46,174 thousand and estimated the regarding litigation provisionat $236,052 thousand.
The estimation of litigation contingent liabilities is based on the management's assessment of the result oflitigation, which is likely to be unfavorable to CMP Group. However, there are significant uncertainties inthe litigation. Therefore, the litigation provision estimation is considered as one of the key audit matters.
Corresponding audit procedure:
Our main audit procedures for the above key audit matters include: interviewing CMP Group's managementto understand the method of assessment; obtaining management's major litigation memorandum and itsprovision assessment documents, and reviewing the latest court verdict documents of the major litigation toassess the reasonableness of their estimates; obtaining auditors' legal confirmation letters from externallawyers to verify the progress of pending litigation; assessing whether CMP Group’s pending litigation casesand contingent liabilities have been properly disclosed.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated FinancialStatements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements inaccordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs,IASs, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic ofChina, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation ofconsolidated 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 CMP Group’ sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate CMP Group or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee or supervisors) are responsible for overseeingCMP Group’s financial reporting process.
47
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 awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, weexercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement 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.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness ofCMP Group’s internal control.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast significant doubt on CMP Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause CMP Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities orbusiness activities within CMP Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Weare responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solelyresponsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control thatwe identify during our audit.
48
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters thatmay 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 ofmost significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore thekey audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuo-Yang Tseng andShih-Chin Chih.
