Lite-On Technology Corporation Business Report
Dear Shareholders,
Despite many challenges and changes in global economic environment and technology industries in 2016, Lite-On marched ahead
like a ship sailing against the wind. With the dedication of all colleagues and optimized steadying operations after the Group's nine in
one integration, we not only overcame the challenges, but also showed a positive growth and gained wide recognition from
international investors. In 2016, Lite-On focused on Internet of Things (IoT) applications in cloud computing, LED lighting,
automotive electronics, biomedical technology, and industrial automation as our five key areas of transforming. The global
consolidated revenue amounted to NT$229.57 billion, which represented a yearly growth of 6%. Our net profit after taxes was
NT$9.416 billion for the year, which was a record high after the four-in-one integration in 2002. Our annual earnings per share (EPS)
reached NT$4.05; a yearly growth of 30%, which was also a record high in the last six years.
Business Performance
Since the integration of group resources and organizations in 2014, Lite-On continued to focus on profitability, sound governance,
and improving shareholders' returns as our main operation strategies, and actively worked towards business transformation so that a
new light can shine on our 2016 business performance. In the Opto-electronics business, market share of invisible LED application
and LED component continued to increase, LED vehicle lighting and street light also experience market expansion, coupled with
growth of high-end camera module. In the Information technology business, cloud-computing products showed outstanding growth in
revenue, supported by shipments increase of high-end servers and networking power management systems. Meanwhile, the growth
was also driven by ongoing market share gains in keyboards, mousse and peripherals and delivery growth in laser models of
Multi-Function Peripherals. In the storage business, also benefited greatly from increasing demand from cloud computing and storage
related applications.
Lite-On focuses on IoT applications in cloud computing, LED lighting, automotive electronics, biomedical technology, and industrial
automation as our five key areas of transformation. Among which, cloud computing, high-end camera modules, and LED/outdoor
lighting have entered a mature phase; their combined share of Lite-On's annual total revenue was over 30%. In 2016, Lite-On's LED
optoelectronic semiconductor applications were successfully adopted in IoT-relevant solutions, such as vehicle lighting, smart
production, wearable devices, smart homes, and smart healthcare. Leotek Lighting Department successfully won the tender for LED
street lights in Jordan, which opened market opportunities for energy-saving LED street lights in the Middle East. Skyla® HB1, the
fully-automated clinical chemistry analyzer developed by the Medical and Biotech Department received CFDA certification in China.
The Department also launched a new product, the skyla® Hi, a POC immunoassay analyzer, which only requires a minimal amount
of blood from a fingertip for rapid testing of HbA1c in diabetes patients. In addition, the Department also established the first
overseas biotech R&D center in Singapore as a means to develop highly competitive point-of-care products. In order to support client
operations, Lite-On and the Export Processing Zone Administration, MOEA
jointly launched the first land turnover renewal project in the Nantze Export Processing Zone, in preparation for the expansion of the
Automotive Electronics Department and new business development.

Future Outlook
Lite-On aims to become a centenarian corporation, and the key for long-lasting operation is profitability and values generated by the
Corporation. The IT industry is in a transformational new era. The traditional contract manufacturing mode with mass producing a
few models is diminishing. The industry and product life cycles have been drastically reduced. Nowadays, IT and traditional
industries alike are starting to transform by following the IoT trend; these factors are forcing the electronics industry towards
transformation and upgrade.
LIte-On is no exception. The aim for Lite-On's transformation is to increase profitability; this signifies not only changes in the
business model or product portfolio, but also an ability to continually generate optimized profitability to ensure Lite-On's
sustainability. The adjustments made in the Company's corporate governance were not easy; however, Lite-On's outstanding business
results in 2016 have shown us that transformation was the right choice and it is also a reachable goal. Lite-On will stay with this
strategy and development direction and continue to integrate the Group's resources to develop a prospective new business and to set
the foundation for becoming a centenarian corporation.
In Lite-On's history, we have faced many challenges and difficulties. However, from the process of overcoming these obstacles, we
grew stronger and achieved outstanding results. Looking ahead, the global political and economic environment is still filled with
- 7 -
uncertainty. Through the "One Lite-On" program, Lite-On has successfully simplified its organization and structure, improved its
finances and reduced operational costs, as well as increased its resource utilization, so that the Company may continue to expand its
automated production capabilities, optimize its production capacity and efficiency, and streamline processes for better productivity
and performance. Now, we are prepared to face new challenges with improved corporate governance and a cautious but optimistic
attitude. In different fields all over the world, innovation of all forms are breaking out like wild fire in order to create a whole new
type of smart living for the future. Lite-On is blessed to be a part of this industry revolution. We are currently working on establishing
the differentiation between our core businesses and new businesses on a global level through innovative thinking and solid
implementation. The aim is to become the top choice as a business partner in providing innovative designs, hardware manufacturing,
and all types of application to our clients from all over the world in areas such as lighting, electricity, energy conservation, and smart
technologies. We sincerely hope that each and every colleague, client, supplier, and business partner of Lite-On will continue to give
us their full support and recognition to work toward a wonderful start in 2017 as well as a successful transformation, and to become
part of the team that established Lite-On as a "centenarian corporation".

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lite-On Technology Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Lite-On Technology Corporation (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets
as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the statement 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 conformity 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.
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.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the key audit matters to the Company’s financial statements were as follows:
Allowance for impairment loss for trade receivables
The recoverable amount from allowance for impairment loss is determined by management’s evaluation of the credit risk of overdue receivables,
and it is affected by management’s assumption of a client’s credit quality. In our audit, we focused on clients with significant trade receivable
balances and those with overdue balances, and we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s estimation on the allowance for impairment
loss.
For a summary of significant accounting policies on impairment loss for trade receivables, refer to Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements.
Refer to Note 9 to the Company’s financial statements for the carrying amount of trade receivables. Our audit procedures for the
aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:
1. We assessed both the trade receivables aging report classified by client credit rating and the reasonableness of the percent of impairment loss
allowance; this assessment included the implementation of the computer audit sampling procedures to test the correctness of the trade
receivable aging report. We compared the aging reports of current and prior accounting periods and examined both periods’ bad debt
write-offs. We confirmed the recoverability of outstanding trade receivables by testing the after period end collection of receivables.
2. We reviewed approval of client credit terms and examined reversals in the trade receivables subledger in order to assess the effectiveness of
internal controls relevant to trade receivables.
Allowance for Inventory Valuation Loss
The value of the inventory is affected by the volatility of the market demand and the ever-changing technology which could make inventory
outdated and obsolete. The allocation of inventory cost elements and estimations of the net realizable value of inventory require management’s
subjective judgment. In our audit, we focused on if the value of inventory was evaluated according to IAS 2, which is based on the lower of cost
or net realizable value method. We also assessed the reasonableness of management’s estimation of the allowance for inventory valuation loss.
For summary of the significant accounting policies on inventory valuation, refer to Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements. Refer to Note
10 to the Company’s financial statements for the carrying amount of inventory. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter
are described as follows:
1. We assessed both the inventory aging report classified by product types and the reasonableness of the percent of allowance for inventory
valuation loss; this assessment included the implementation of the computer audit sampling procedures to test the correctness of the inventory
aging report. We compared the amount of allowances in prior years to actual amount of write-downs in order to evaluate the
appropriateness of the policy implemented relevant to the allowance for inventory valuation loss.
2. We obtained information of the year-end allowance for inventory valuation loss and inventory aging reports, and we compared the current
and prior years’ allowances and analyzed any differences. We drew samples from the year-end inventory and compared the most recent
price of goods sold to the carrying amount to ensure the inventory had been valued by the lower of cost or net realizable value method.
3. We obtained year-end inventory quantities from the inventory accounts book and compared it with data from the physical inventory count to
test the existence and completeness of management’s assumption. Through the physical inventory count, we evaluated the conditions of the
inventory and, in turn, the appropriateness of the allowance estimated by management.
Impairment Loss for Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets (Including Goodwill), and
Investments Accounted For Using Equity Method
Management should assess, on the financial statements date, any indication of impairment to property, plant and equipment, to intangible assets,
and to investments accounted for using the equity method. If there is any indication of impairment, management should estimate the recoverable
amount of these assets. If it is impossible to do so, management should estimate the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which
- 9 -
these assets belong. Due to the complexity of this impairment estimation, in our audit, we focused on if the estimation was made in accordance
to IAS 36 to ensure all assets’ carrying amounts did not exceed their recoverable amount.
For a summary of the significant accounting policies on impairment loss, refer to Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements. Refer to Notes
12, 13 and 14 to the Company’s financial statements for disclosures of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and investments
accounted for using the equity method. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:
1. Through internal control testing, we understood the methods of asset impairment valuation made by management and the associated control
policy’s design and implementation.
2. We obtained the asset impairment valuation table of each cash generating unit from management. We consulted with our firm experts on
the reasonableness of management’s impairment assessments and assumptions, including their cash generating unit classification, cash flow
prediction, discount rate, etc.
Litigation Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
In Note 27 to the Company’s financial statements, management has disclosed the progress of major ongoing litigations, investigations, and other
government related matters. The timing of the recognition and quantification of the associated liabilities require the application of
management’s significant judgment on existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. Therefore, we focused on if provisions
and contingent liabilities were recognized according to IAS 37 and ensured sufficient disclosures and explanations of these contingencies on the
Company’s Notes to the financial statements. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as the follows:
1. We understood and assessed the effectiveness of the controls designed and executed by management to recognize and assess risks.
2. We evaluated assumptions made by management in assessing the appropriate level of provisions for litigations. We compared these
assumptions with that of available industry-specific and historical information, including reviewing the Company’s internal documents
relevant to provisions.
3. We corresponded by mail with the Company’s external lawyers to obtain the latest information on ongoing litigations and other legal matters,
and tested the reasonableness of management assumptions.
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 its 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.
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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by
management.
4. 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.
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 that achieves fair presentation.
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.
- 10 -
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 partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Jr-Shian Ke and Ching- Fu Chang.

Attachment 3 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lite-On Technology Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Lite-On Technology Corporation and
its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet 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 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 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.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the key audit matters to the Group’s consolidated financial statements
were as follows:
Allowance for impairment loss for trade receivables
The recoverable amount from the allowance for impairment loss is determined by management’s evaluation of
the credit risk of overdue receivables, and it is affected by management’s assumption of a client’s credit quality.
In our audit, we focused on clients with significant trade receivables and overdue balances, and we evaluated the
reasonableness of management’s estimation of the allowance for impairment loss.
For a summary of the significant accounting policies on impairment loss for trade receivables, refer to Note 4 to
the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for the
carrying amount of trade receivables. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are
described as follows:
1. We assessed both the trade receivables aging report classified by client credit rating and the reasonableness
- 19 -
of the percent of impairment loss allowance; this assessment included the implementation of the computer
audit sampling procedures to test the correctness of the trade receivable aging report. We compared the
aging reports of current and prior accounting periods and examined both periods’ bad debt write-offs. We
confirmed the recoverability of outstanding trade receivables by testing the after period end collection of
receivables.
2. We reviewed the approval of client credit terms and examined reversals in the trade receivables subledger
in order to assess the effectiveness of internal controls relevant to trade receivables.
Allowance for inventory valuation loss
The value of the inventory is affected by the volatility of the market demand and the ever-changing technology
which could make inventory outdated and obsolete. The allocation of inventory cost elements and estimations
of the net realizable value of inventory require management’s subjective judgment. In our audit, we focused
on if the value of inventory was evaluated according to IAS 2, which is based on the lower of cost or net
realizable value method. We also assessed the reasonableness of management’s estimation of the allowance
for inventory valuation loss.
For a summary of the significant accounting policies on inventory valuation, refer to Note 4 to the consolidated
financial statements. Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for the carrying amount of
inventory. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:
1. We assessed both the inventory aging report classified by product types and the reasonableness of the
percent of allowance for inventory valuation loss; this assessment included the implementation of the
computer audit sampling procedures to test the correctness of the inventory aging report. We compared
the amount of allowances in prior years to the actual amount of write-downs in order to evaluate the
appropriateness of the policy implemented relevant to the allowance for inventory valuation loss.
2. We obtained information of the year-end allowance for inventory valuation loss and inventory aging reports,
and we compared the current and prior years’ allowances and analyzed any differences. We drew samples
from the year-end inventory and compared the most recent price of goods sold to the carrying amount to
ensure that the inventory had been valued by the lower of cost or net realizable value method.
3. We obtained year-end inventory quantities from the inventory accounts book and compared it with data
from the physical inventory count to test the existence and completeness of management’s assumption.
Through the physical inventory count, we evaluated the conditions of the inventory and, in turn, the
appropriateness of the allowance estimated by management.
Impairment loss for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (including goodwill)
Management should assess, on the financial statements date, any indication of impairment to property, plant and
equipment, and to intangible assets. If there is any indication of impairment, management should estimate the
recoverable amount of these assets. If it is impossible to do so, management should estimate the recoverable
amount of the cash generating units to which these assets belong. Due to the complexity of this impairment
estimation, in our audit, we focused on if the estimation was made in accordance with IAS 36 to ensure all
assets’ carrying amounts did not exceed their recoverable amounts.
For a summary of the significant accounting policies on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
impairment, refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Notes 14 and 16 to the
consolidated financial statements for disclosures of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. Our
audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:
1. Through internal control testing, we understood the methods of asset impairment valuation made by
management and the associated control policy’s design and implementation.
- 20 -
2. We obtained the asset impairment valuation table of each cash generating unit from management. We
consulted our firm experts on the reasonableness of management’s impairment assessments and
assumptions, including their cash generating unit classification, cash flow prediction, discount rate, etc.
Litigation provisions and contingent liabilities
In Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements, management has disclosed the progress of major ongoing
litigations, investigations, and other government related matters. The timing of the recognition and
quantification of the associated liabilities require the application of management’s significant judgment on
existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. Therefore, we focused on if provisions and
contingent liabilities were recognized according to IAS 37 and ensured that sufficient disclosures and
explanations of these contingencies were in the Group’s notes to consolidated financial statements. Our audit
procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:
1. We understood and assessed the effectiveness of the controls designed and executed by management to
recognize and assess risks.
2. We evaluated the assumptions made by management in assessing the appropriate level of provisions for
litigations. We compared these assumptions with that of available industry-specific and historical
information, including reviewing the Group’s internal documents relevant to provisions.
3. We corresponded by mail with the Group’s external lawyers to obtain the latest information on ongoing
litigations and other legal matters, and we tested the reasonableness of management’s assumptions.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Lite-On Technology Corporation as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 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 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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s
financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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
- 21 -
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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we
exercise 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 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.
2. 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.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
4. 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.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
6. 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, 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.

shall also be displayed at this Corporation and the professional shareholder services agent designated
thereby as well as being distributed on-site at the meeting place.
The reasons for convening a shareholders meeting shall be specified in the meeting notice and public
announcement. With the consent of the addressee, the meeting notice may be given in electronic form.
Election or dismissal of directors, amendments to the articles of incorporation, the dissolution, merger,
or demerger of the corporation, or any matter under Article 185, paragraph 1 of the Company Act or
Articles 26-1 and 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act , or Articles 56-1 and 60-2 of the
Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers shall be set out in
the notice of the reasons for convening the shareholders meeting. None of the above matters may be
raised by an extraordinary motion.
A shareholder holding 1 percent or more of the total number of issued shares may submit to this
Company for discussion at a regular shareholders meeting pursuant to Article 172-1 of the Company
Act.
4. For each shareholders meeting, a shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting by providing
the proxy form issued by this Corporation and stating the scope of the proxy's authorization.
A shareholder may issue only one proxy form and appoint only one proxy for any given shareholders
meeting, and shall deliver the proxy form to this Corporation before 5 days before the date of the
shareholders meeting. When duplicate proxy forms are delivered, the one received earliest shall
prevail unless a declaration is made to cancel the previous proxy appointment.
21
After a proxy form has been delivered to this Corporation, if the shareholder intends to attend the
meeting in person or to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronically, a written notice of
proxy cancellation shall be submitted to this Corporation before 2 business days before the meeting
date. If the cancellation notice is submitted after that time, votes cast at the meeting by the proxy shall
prevail.
5. The venue for a shareholders meeting shall be the premises of this Corporation, or a place easily
accessible to shareholders and suitable for a shareholders meeting. The meeting may begin no earlier
than 9 a.m. and no later than 3 p.m. Full consideration shall be given to the opinions of the
independent directors with respect to the place and time of the meeting
6. This Company shall furnish the shareholders meeting notice with the time and venue for signing in.
The aforementioned time for signing in shall be at least 30 minutes before the shareholder meeting
starts. There shall be signs to direct shareholders to proceed to the venue for signing in and personnel
who are suitable in charge.
Shareholders or their proxies (collectively, “shareholders”) shall attend shareholders meetings based
on attendance cards, sign-in cards, or other certificates of attendance. This Corporation may not
arbitrarily add requirements for other documents beyond those showing eligibility to attend presented
by shareholders. Solicitors soliciting proxy forms shall also bring identification documents for
verification. This Corporation shall furnish attending shareholders with the meeting agenda book,
annual report, attendance card, speaker's slips, voting slips, and other meeting materials. Where there
is an election of directors or supervisors, pre-printed ballots shall also be furnished.
When the government or a juristic person is a shareholder, it may be represented by more than one
representative at a shareholders meeting. When a juristic person is appointed to attend as proxy, it
may designate only one person to represent it in the meeting.
7. If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the
chairperson of the board. When the chairperson of the board is on leave or for any reason unable to
exercise the powers of the chairperson, the vice chairperson shall act in place of the chairperson; if the
vice chairperson also is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the vice
chairperson, the chairperson shall appoint one of the board of directors to act as chair. Where the
chairperson does not make such a designation, the board or the directors shall select from among
themselves one person to serve as chair.
The board of director who serve as chair shall be in his post for more than six months and familiar
with the Company’s financials and operations. The same applies to the director who serve as chair
and who represents a corporation.
It is advisable that shareholders meetings convened by the board of directors be attended by a
majority of the directors, at least one independent director in person, and at least one member of each
functional committee on behalf of the committee. The attendance shall be recorded in the meeting
minutess.
If a shareholders meeting is convened by a party with power to convene but other than the board of
directors, the convening party shall chair the meeting. When there are two or more such convening
22
parties, they shall mutually select a chair from among themselves.
The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or related persons retained by it
to attend a shareholders meeting in a non-voting capacity.
8. This Corporation shall record the proceedings of a shareholders meeting in their entirety in audio or
video and retain the recording for at least 1 year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to
Article 189 of the Company Act, the recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
9. Attendance at shareholders meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of
shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the Notice of attendance
handed in plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by correspondence or
electronically.
The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. However, when the attending
shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce
a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more
than 1 hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending
shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall
declare the meeting adjourned.
If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding paragraph, but the
attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative
resolution may be adopted pursuant to Article 175, paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all shareholders
shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders meeting shall be convened within
1 month.
When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total
number of issued shares, the chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders
meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act.
10. If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the
board of directors. The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be
changed without a resolution of the shareholders meeting.
The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders meeting
convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the board of directors.
The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting
agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of
the shareholders meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of
procedure, the other members of the board of directors shall promptly assist the attending
shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a
majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of
proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the
23
chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may
announce the discussion closed and call for a vote.
11. Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech,
his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in
which shareholders speak will be set by the chair.
A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be
deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given
on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.
Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same
proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules
or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they
have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair
shall stop any violation.
When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders
meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal.
After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant
personnel to respond.
12. Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares.
With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with
no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that
such a relationship would prejudice the interests of this Corporation, that shareholder may not vote on
that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph
shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent
securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders,
the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3 percent of the voting rights represented
by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that
percentage shall not be included in the calculation.
13. A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted
shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
When this Corporation holds a shareholders meeting, it may allow the shareholders to exercise voting
rights by correspondence or electronic means. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or
electronic means, the method of exercise shall be established in accordance with the laws and shall be
specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by
correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but to
24
have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original
proposals of that meeting; it is therefore advisable that this Corporation avoid the submission of
extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals.
A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the
preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to this Corporation before 2 days
before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the
one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration
of intent.
After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event
the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person, a written declaration of intent to
retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to this
Corporation, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before 2 business days
before the date of the shareholders meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the
voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a
shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing
a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall
prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in this Corporation's articles of incorporation,
the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights
represented by the attending shareholders.
At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first
announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a
poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for
each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be
entered into the MOPS.
At the time of a vote, if no attending shareholder voices an objection following an inquiry by the chair,
the proposal will be deemed approved, with the same effect as approval by vote.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or
alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put
to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and
no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair,
provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of this Corporation.
Vote counting shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders meeting, and voting results
shall be reported on-site immediately and recorded in writing.
14. The election of directors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the applicable
election and appointment rules adopted by this Corporation, and the voting results shall be announced
on-site immediately.
The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures
of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least 1 year. If, however, a shareholder
25
files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the
conclusion of the litigation.
15. Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes.
The meeting minutes shall be signed or sealed by the chair of the meeting and a copy distributed to
each shareholder within 20 days after the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting minutes shall be
distributed in accordance with the Company v Act.
The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the
chair's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations
and their results, and shall be retained for the duration of the existence of this Corporation.
16. On the day of a shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall compile in the prescribed format a
statistical statement of the number of shares obtained by solicitors through solicitation and the number
of shares represented by proxies, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at the place of the
shareholders meeting.
If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders meeting constitute material information under
applicable laws or regulations, this Corporation shall upload the content of such resolution to the
MOPS within the prescribed time period.
17. At the place of a shareholders meeting, if a shareholder attempts to speak through any device other
than the public address equipment set up by this Corporation, the chair may prevent the shareholder
from so doing.
When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chair's correction, obstructing the
proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chair may direct relevant personnel to escort the
shareholder from the meeting.
18. When a meeting is in progress, the chair may announce a break based on time considerations. If a
force majeure event occurs, the chair may rule the meeting temporarily suspended and announce a
time when, in view of the circumstances, the meeting will be resumed.
If the meeting venue is no longer available for continued use and not all of the items (including
extraordinary motions) on the meeting agenda have been addressed, the shareholders meeting may
adopt a resolution to resume the meeting at another venue.
A resolution may be adopted at a shareholders meeting to defer or resume the meeting within 5 days
in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act.
19. These Rules, and any amendments hereto, shall be implemented after adoption by shareholders
