Letter to ShareholdersI
In 2017, Chailease celebrated the 40th anniversary of its founding. Over the years, our business footprint has expanded from the Asia-Pacific region to Europe and the United States, and the Company’s international brand value now totals US$242 million. At the end of the year, Chailease boasted a NT$109.48 billion market capitalization, which ranks in the top 50 of TWSE companies for market value and maintains our position as the lease finance industry leader.
Not only did 2017 mark a special anniversary, Chailease’s performance was also worth celebrating. Annual consolidated revenue totaled NT$41.45 billion, a year-on-year increase of 9%, the highest since going public. Consolidated net profit reached NT$9.66 billion, which represents growth of 33% over 2016, and EPS was NT$8.29. Primary profit drivers were the continued growth of interest earning assets, reduced cost and expense ratios, and asset quality improvements.
TaiwanIn 2017, revenue in the Taiwan market grew 8% over 2016 figures to reach NT$19.41 billion and net profit grew by an outstanding 19%. These figures put Chailease at the top of the local leasing and installment lending industry.
In response to government energy policy, Chailease has in recent years actively financed and invested in energy efficiency and solar energy services. On top of our outstanding EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) capabilities, Chailease also possesses the skills to properly manage these projects. Through the end of 2017, our subsidiary Chailease Energy Development Corp. Co. Ltd. has invested in 654 solar power plants with a total generating capacity of 198 megawatts, which make it the largest single investor in solar power generating systems in Taiwan. In March 2018, we launched the FinMart project to give members of the public the opportunity to invest in solar power modules and sell back extra power generated. This win-win situation provides investors with a stable, long-term source of income.
Mainland ChinaIn 2005, Chailease established Chailease International Finance Corp. (CIFC) to compete among 7,000 other lease finance providers in the Mainland Chinese market. Entering its 13th year, CIFC continues its stable growth and has expanded to a total of 41 locations. Our continued commitment to serving SMEs has paid off in outstanding business performance. In 2017, revenue reached NT$18.13 billion, which was a 9% increase over the same period in 2016. With continued asset quality improvements and our geographical expansion plans, we have built a strong foundation in the Mainland Chinese market for future growth.
In recent years, CIFC established six business divisions that encompass supplier marketing, construction and transport finance services, auto rental and insurance brokerage services, fishing industry services, auto leasing services, and medical services, to actively expand its business scope and business scale.
In the pursuit of growth strategy, 2017 was also full of innovation. Newly launched used car financing services brought our successful experience in Taiwan to the Mainland. Cooperating with Chang Cheng Insurance Brokers Co., Ltd., CIFC introduced insurance brokerage services. Business Channel Development Group was established to link up with all kinds of industry platforms and unlock new business opportunities. Embracing new financial technology and internet platforms provides a more agile business model by improving our ability to attract customers online.

CIFC primarily receives funding through banks and, in 2018, CIFC plans to issue asset-backed securities to provide a wider variety of financing sources and support rapid business expansion.
EuropeAt the end of 2016, Chailease first joined the commercial aircraft engine leasing business when subsidiary, Chailease International Company (UK) Limited, and Mitsubishi UFJ Lease & Finance Co., Ltd. (MUL) subsidiary Engine Lease Finance Corporation (ELFC) entered into a joint venture. The resulting company, C & E Engine Leasing Limited, provides commercial aircraft spare engine procurement, sales, and commercial leasing services.
In June 2017, Chailease signed a cooperation agreement with France’s Airbus Helicopters. Together we provide clients with comprehensive financing services. By the end of the year, we had already successfully developed new customers in the ASEAN market.
ASEANWith stable growth in Taiwan and China, Chailease has set its sights on accelerating development in ASEAN countries. Currently Chailease operates in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, and the Philippines. With Thailand as our operating base, we are expanding throughout the Greater Mekong Subregion. Revenues in ASEAN countries increased 17% year-on-year. Growth over the year came primarily from operations in Vietnam and Malaysia.
Vietnamese subsidiary Chailease International Leasing Co., Ltd. has benefitted from recent State Bank of Vietnam’s loosening of restrictions on financial institution loan portfolio growth. Government actions along with appropriate controls on asset quality enabled Chailease International Leasing to achieve accelerated growth.
Established in Malaysia in the 4th quarter of 2015, Chailease Berjaya Credit Sdn. Bhd. has achieved continued profit growth. Based in the capital Kuala Lumpur in central Malaysia, the company serves as our base of operations. In 2017, a Johor Bahru branch was established in the south of the country, while a 2018 expansion to Penang in the north is also planned.
In 2017, Chailease also expanded to Cambodia and the Philippines. Chailease Royal Leasing PLC was established as a joint venture between Chailease and the Royal Group in Cambodia and officially set up operations and began serving customers in February. In Cambodia, Chailease Royal Leasing provides automobile, equipment, and construction machinery lease finance services. Target industries include handicrafts, travel, real estate, and construction.
In the same year, we again joined with the Berjaya Group of Malaysia to establish Chailease Berjaya Finance Corp. in the Philippines, a country which has achieved an economic growth rate exceeding 6% over the past eight quarters. Chailease is optimistic about business opportunities with local SMEs and initially will focus on vehicle financing. We will develop financing services for local SMEs, find growth opportunities, and increase ASEAN operations as a share of total revenue.
Bangkok, Thailand-based subsidiary Asia Sermkij Leasing PLC. (ASK) has been in business for over 30 years. In 2017, ASK was awarded The Stock Exchange of Thailand’s Best Company Performance Award in recognition of its operating achievements and outstanding corporate governance.

Outstanding Achievements in Corporate GovernanceIn addition to outstanding financial achievements, Chailease also received recognition for corporate governance and social responsibility. In the third round of the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Evaluation held in 2017, Chailease was ranked in the top 5% of all participating companies. In addition, in the most recent MSCI ACWI ESG Leaders Indexes review, previously known as the MSCI Global Sustainability Indexes, Chailease was selected as a component stock for the fourth year running. These honors show Chailease as a global environmental, social responsibility, and corporate governance leader in the industry.
OutlookOver the past 40 years, Chailease has pursued growth and proactively searched out new business opportunities to achieve the best performance for our shareholders. Looking to the future, Chailease will continue to grow with stability in the Taiwan market and we will maintain our strong momentum in Mainland China by expanding our location and service portfolio. In ASEAN nations, with the gradual addition of new operating locations, Chailease will build its business in the region to create a new engine of growth and increase shareholder value.

(1)Date of establishment:Chailease Holding Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") was founded on December 24, 2009 under the company act of Cayman Islands. The core business of the Company is to provide diverse financial services to SMEs, including leasing, installment sales, factoring and direct financing. As a professional financial service company, we currently have operations in Taiwan, PRC, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, Philippines, and USA.
(2)History of the Company:The Company commenced operations in Taiwan in 1977 under the name of China Leasing Company Limited ("China Leasing") and initially provided asset-based financing. China Leasing initially provided primarily asset-backed financing to companies in heavy industries to help them acquire manufacturing machinery and equipment and upgrade their manufacturing facilities. In 1980, China Leasing established CITC Co., Ltd. ("CITC") to specialize in installment sales. In 1995, China Leasing merged with CITC and CITC changed its name to Chailease Finance Co. Ltd. ("Chailease Finance") in order to increase the competiveness with international large-sized financial leasing companies abroad and strengthen the ability to raise funds. In 1999, the excellent management team led the Company to begin the project of business process improvement, actively promote various innovation projects and lay a solid foundation for a great leap into becoming a world financial company. The Company has taken the lead in joining international organizations such as the American Leasing Association, Asian Leasing Association, International Finance and Leasing Association and Factors Chain International since its establishment to provide customers with international-quality professional service and continuously absorbs the latest knowledge and technology from financial related business in advanced countries, such as Europe, America and Japan to maintain our professional advantage among competitors. Meanwhile, we founded the Taipei Leasing Association to provide a platform for members to exchange ideas, knowledge, experience and information, all of which will be of mutual benefits to the parties concerned. In 2007, Chailease Finance exchanged 100% of its shares with Financial One Corp. and became the subsidiary of Financial One Corp., which was listed in the Singapore Stock Exchange on July 11, 2007. Financial One Corp. was the first Taiwan-based financial enterprise that was successfully listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange. To integrate the operations in Asia, Chailease Holding Company Limited was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands in 2009 and the project of reorganization was launched. Financial One Corp. was voluntarily delisted from the Singapore Stock Exchange on April 27, 2011 and transferred the shares of the Company to its shareholders on the same day. Upon the completion of the shares transfer, the former shareholders of Financial One Corp. came to hold shares of the Company directly. The Company's shares were traded in the over-the-counter stock market of the ROC since July 11, 2011. On December 13, 2011, the Company was successfully listed on the TWSE.
■ DiversificationUnder the guidance of multi-dimensional strategies, the subsidiaries that specialize in the niche market have been established in Taiwan continuously, including Fina Finance & Trading Co., Ltd., Chailease Consumer Finance Co., Ltd., Apex Credit Solutions Inc., Chailease Auto Rental Co., Ltd., Chailease Insurance Brokers Co., Ltd. and Chailease Cloud Service Co., Ltd. To extend the value chain of green energy business, Chailease Finance acquired 100% of Yun Tang Inc. in 2014, and established General Energy Solutions Co. Ltd., in 2015. Based on the competitive advantage of leasing and installment sales business, we aim to assist clients in implementing energy saving and production projects by exploiting our green energy technology and expertise, and also engage in the investment, EPC, operations & maintenance of solar power plants. Currently, Chailease Finance is one of the top three solar power owners in Taiwan, bringing long-term and stable non-interest revenue to the Company given the long-term contract with Taipower Company to provide electricity at stable prices.

■ InternationalizationInternationalization has also become the Company's critical strategy for business development.In 1983, Grand Pacific Financing Corp. was formed to provide commercial real estate financing to small and medium sized businesses in United States. In 1989, Bangkok Grand Pacific Lease Public Company Limited ("BGPL") was established in Thailand through a joint venture with the Bangkok Bank to offer leasing and installment sales for the Taiwan business community in Thailand to obtain manufacturing machinery and equipment. In 1992, BGPL acquired Asia Sermkij Leasing Public Company Limited ("ASK"), which specializes in installment sales for automobiles and personal loans. In 2004, the shareholding structure of ASK was reorganized and ASK became the parent company of BGPL. ASK went public in Thailand on August 25, 2005 and currently has 13 branches and 9 outlets. In 2005, the Company received the first approval of foreign-owned leasing license from the PRC government to set up Chailease International Finance Corporation ( "CIFC") in Shanghai. At the beginning of the development, the goal is to provide equipment and manufacturing machinery leasing to SMEs located in the PRC as well as foreign-owned companies. After years of efforts, the business has expanded from the coastal areas to inland regions. The customer base is broadened to include local entities. CIFC continuously invested in specialized subsidiaries, including Chailease International Corporation, Chailease Finance International Corporation and Jirong Real Estate Company Limited. In 2006, we received approval from the State Bank of Vietnam to establish Chailease International Leasing Company Limited ("CILC") in Ho Chi Minh City, an industrial and business center in Vietnam, and commenced operations in January 2007. Its main business is to provide leasing service of machinery equipment and automobiles for both Taiwanese and local companies. At present, CILC has set up four business offices in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Can Tho and Hai Phong. In 2016, Chailease International Trading Company Limited was established to offer importing and exporting services. In 2015, Chailease International Company (UK) Limited was established in London, United Kingdom, primarily focusing on solar power plant investment, aircraft engine leasing business and market research and consultancy services. We expect that the UK subsidiary will become our hub to extend the network to the European market. In 2015, Chailease Berjaya Credit Sdn. Bhd. was established through a joint venture with Berjaya Group Bhd. in Malaysia. It mainly engages in vehicle financing and relevant services now and plans to gradually expand to other businesses, such as consumer goods financing and SMEs financing. At present, we have set up two branches in Johor Bahru and Penang and three outlets. In 2017, Chailease Agency Sdn. Bhd. was established to provide insurance brokerage services. In 2016, Chailease Royal Leasing Plc. was established through a joint venture with Royal Group in Phnom Penh, Cambodia . It offers finance lease services for vehicles, machinery and equipment. In 2017, considering demographic dividend, GDP growth and booming vehicle sales in Philippines, Chailease Berjaya Finance Corporation was established through a joint venture with Berjaya Group Bhd. in Manila, Philippines, focusing in providing vehicle financing in the initial stage of operations. The Company will continue expanding the ASEAN market, making it became the third growth engine in the future.

(3)Corporate governance practices
1. The Evaluation on the Performance of the Board of DirectorsThe Company has implemented a system of evaluation on the performance of the Board of Directors. Moreover, in August 8 of 2016, the Board of Directors approved “the Rules on the Evaluation of the Performance of the Board of Directors,” with a view to enhance the performance of the Board of Directors through setting performance indexes.(1) The Internal Evaluation on the Performance of the Board of Directors:
The 2017 internal evaluation on the performance of the board of directors was carried out by three acting commissioners selected by the Committee on Business Ethics and were responsible for drafting a report, which revealed the performance attained the status of “effective” on the five dimensions of the performance of the Board of Directors as a whole and the six dimensions of the performance of each member of the Board of Directors. The summary of the evaluation report is disclosed in Company webpage (http://www.chaileaseholding.com.tw/EN/ugC_AboutUs02-02.asp)(2) The Outside Evaluation on the Performance of the Board of DirectorsDuring February and March of 2018, the Company retained the Taiwan Corporate Governance Association (“TGCA”) for carrying out the 2018 outside evaluation on the performance of the Board of Directors. The evaluation is conducted through questionnaires and onsite interview with high ranking Company officials, covering 38 indexes comprising the 8 dimensions including the Board’s: (i) composition, (ii) instructions, (iii) delegation of authorities, (iv) oversight, (v) communication, (vi) discipline, (vii) internal control, and (viii) risk management. Out of the 38 indexes, the TGCA determined the Company satisfied the requirements of 33 indexes, leaving 5 indexes for the high-ranking officials to clarify with respect to the questions raised by the evaluators. The Company has disclosed at its webpage (http://www.chaileaseholding.com.tw/EN/ugC_AboutUs02-02.asp ) the conclusions and recommendations of a report produced by the TCGA for this evaluation and the responses of the Company to the recommendations. Below is the conclusions of the report provided by the TCGA:

Accordingly, the profit distribution of the Company may vary in view of the capital expenditure required by the Company for each financial year. Upon the final settlement of the Company’s annual accounts, if there are profits, the Company shall set aside out of the profits for each financial year: (i) a reserve for payment of tax for the relevant financial year; (ii) an amount to offset losses incurred in previous years; and (iii) a special surplus reserve as required by the applicable securities authority under the Applicable Public Company Rules. If there are profits of each financial year after combining accumulated undistributed earnings in the previous years and setting aside a certain amount of remaining profits of such financial year as a reserve for development purposes as the Directors may from time to time deem proper pursuant to Article 121 (“Annual Profits”), to the extent permitted by the Companies Law, at least 25% of such Annual Profits shall be distributed as dividends, of which at least 30% shall be paid in cash, as proposed by the Board of Directors and subject to approval of the Members by Ordinary Resolution in a general meeting.

2. Industry overview(1) Current status and development of the industry
A. The development history of leasing industryFinancial leasing emerged in the 1950s from the USA, officially providing customers with a financial channel besides banks to obtain production funds. This new type of economic activity expanded to Germany and Japan and thrived in the 1960s. In the early 1970s, the business started to develop in Taiwan, followed by China in 1980s.The leasing industry is a part of financial auxiliary industry which aims to complement the deficiency of capital markets and banks. The capital markets and banks primarily obtain funds from the investments and deposits of the general public; therefore, the financing risk is limited in order to pursue the financial and economic stability. As a result, the enterprises which can obtain funds from the capital markets and banks tend to be large-sized and have financial integrity. In terms of Taiwan and China, where SMEs constitute the backbone of the economy (i.e. SMEs account for over 97% of total enterprises), most SMEs have a relatively short history and weaker guarantee ability, and they are smaller in size; consequently, they cannot enter the capital market and have difficulties in obtaining bank loans. According to the statistics, the SMEs financing obtained from Taiwan and China banking institutions accounts for 25% and 15% of total financing respectively. Since the current service cannot satisfy SMEs and the financial auxiliary companies operate using their own funds which is less legally restricted, they can bear higher risks to provide SMEs with flexible financing to complement the deficiency of the capital markets and banks. That is the main reason why the financial auxiliary industry developed vigorously in the US, Europe and Japan, and has played a critical role in their financial system.
B. The market scale of global leasing industriesAccording to the World Leasing Yearbook 2018, the global leasing industry maintained a stable growth trend during 2012 to 2016, after the global economic crisis. The global leasing volume reached US$1,099.8 billion in 2016, representing 9.4% growth compared to 2015 mainly due to the continuous growth of US and China - the top two countries on global leasing volume ranking. The US decelerated growth rate of new business volume from 11.1% in 2015 to 2.5% in 2016 reflects an increased general degree of cautiousness in ongoing investments in the US. The leasing volume of China rapidly increased by 62.0% mainly due to leasing considered as one of the important financing options in the domestic economy as well as the soaring growth of auto leasing market.

(2) The interrelationships between the upstream, midstream and downstream segments of the industry supply chainLeasing is an assets-based financing. Lessors purchase the equipment from vendors and then grant the lessee the right to use equipment via leasing agreement. Lessee can pay the rental by installment, instead of lump sum payment, during the lease term. Generally, the upstream, midstream and downstream segments of the leasing industry can be illustrated in the following chart:
A.Upstream players: capital and equipment providersApart from the equity fund of shareholders, the capital source of the lessors mostly comes from bank loans or issuances of commercial papers and corporate bonds. A large-sized company with a healthy financial structure has its assets securitized or plans to go public in order to directly raise funds in the capital market. Overall, the leasing industry mainly obtains funds from financial institutions.Equipment vendors are the other players, from whom the lessors purchase the designated equipment on behalf of the lessees and rent such equipment to the lessees for their business operation.
B. Midstream players: lessorsThe leasing company provides assets-based financing services, and can be categorized by the structure of shareholders or managers. More details can be referred to the section of competition in this chapter.
C. Downstream players: capital demander (lessees)The leasing company provides assets-based financing services to capital demanders, e.g. individuals, micro-enterprises, SMEs and even large corporations, meaning that customers of leasing companies and financial institutions somewhat overlap.

the leasing company specializes in different markets and mainly serves SMEs in a flexible way to provide customers underserved by banks with key capital in a timely manner and assist them in operational growth. Therefore, the relationship between the leasing companies and financial institutions is a kind of "coopetition" - competitive and cooperative in terms of the industrial structure.
(3) Development trend of productsIn the early stages of development, the Taiwan leasing industry was relatively restricted and only provided the machinery and equipment for production, transportation, utilities, sanitation, education and public administration sectors. As the economy developed and regulations changed, diverse new products have been offered to solve the capital shortage of SMEs, including the installment sales of raw materials, semi-finished, finished products and inventories, chattel secured transactions of automobiles and construction machinery and equipment, factoring, and leases of aircrafts, boats and automobiles.Future prospects: Taiwan currently promotes the legislation on finance companies to transform the leasing company which provides leasing services and installment sales to a finance company which is allowed to offer guarantees business in addition to offering loans, discounted notes, notes and valuable securities. The finance company act will be helpful in promoting the diversification of the financing business and providing enterprises and the public with an alternative source to obtain funds.

(2) Financial review
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of Chailease Holding Company Limited:OpinionWe have audited the consolidated financial statements of Chailease Holding Company Limited and its subsidiaries (“ the Group” ), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and 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 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRSs” ), International Accounting Standards (“ IASs” ), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.Basis for OpinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with the “ Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor' s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance 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 that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.Key Audit MattersKey audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were significant in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters individually. Based on our judgment, the key audit matters that should be disclosed in this audit report are as follows:1. Impairment assessment of accounts receivable
Refer to Note (4) (g) “ Financial instruments” and Note (5) “ Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty” and Note (6) (d) “accounts receivable, net” to the consolidated financial statements for the details of the information about impairment assessment on accounts receivable.Description of key audit matter:The Group is engaged primarily in providing various services of leasing and financing, in which accounts receivable is a significant account of the Group. Impairment allowances are provided on accounts receivable based on management' s best estimate of the potential losses in the accounts receivable portfolios at the balance sheet date. Management exercise judgment in making assumptions and estimations when calculating for impairment allowances on both individually and collectively assessed accounts receivables.How the matter was addressed in our audit:In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included evaluating the adequacy of the Group's impairment policy on financial assets; testing to check compliance with the internal control on the process of evaluating impairment losses on loans and receivable; evaluating the assumptions and data used in the calculation; recalculating impairment allowances and rechecking it with the assumptions and data used by management; and evaluating the adequacy of the Group's disclosure for Impairment allowances on loans and receivables.
2. Impairment of operating lease assetsRefer to Note (4) (m) “Impairment of non financial assets” and Note (5) “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty” and Note (6) (g) “Property, plant and equipment” to the consolidated financial statements for the details of the information about impairment of operating lease assets.
88 89
Description of key audit matter:The Group is engaged primarily in providing various services of leasing and financial instruments, in which impairment of operating lease assets is another a significant account of the Group.At each reporting date, the Group performs impairment test of the assets particularly those used for operating leases to determine any indication of impairment. Such test considers the value in use to evaluate the asset's recoverable amount. The value in use is calculated on the present value of future rental revenue and value of disposal of operating lease assets less overheads and duties. The capital cost rate on reporting date is used as the discounting rate.Impairment of operating lease assets is one of the key audit matters for our audit, as it requires management to make estimates and assumptions that can materially affect the financial statements.How the matter was addressed in our audit:In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included evaluating the reasonableness of the discount rate used by the Group to estimate the recoverable amount and the residual value of the leased asset; testing compliance with the policy of appraising leased asset is consistent with the Group's policy; recalculating impairment losses based on the assumptions and data used by management; and evaluating the adequacy of the Group's disclosure on impairment of operating lease assets.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial StatementsOur 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 auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.As part of an audit in accordance with 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 propriety of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Chailease Holding Com
pany Limited
88 89
4. Conclude on the propriety 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 auditor's 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 auditor's 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 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.
6. 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 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 significant in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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 Chung-Yi Chiang and Yi-Chun Chen.

(2) Risk management policiesTo avoid any negative impact arising from risk factors, Chailease has drawn up risk management policies and implements them thoroughly to ensure that the company can realize the objectives that it has set for itself. Risk management policies are employed in all holding company and subsidiary departments and other offices, branch affiliates, and organization members to ensure that Chailease can effectively manage potential risks in all of its operations.(1) Credit risk
Chailease defines “credit risks” as risks, including those stemming from inappropriate or incorrect actions taken internally in the areas of operations, finances, systems, or personnel, as well as from external changes related to customers, the economy, the law, and so forth, that make it impossible for customers to carry out their responsibility to pay back loans, resulting in losses to Chailease. Credit risk policies are formulated based on risk management policies to effectively advance operations, enhance asset quality, and ensure asset security. The use of consistent policies to bolster credit risk assessment and management mechanisms allows Chailease to avoid and reduce credit risk and losses. It regularly reviews the effectiveness of its credit risk management, offering suitable feedback for the management process.The credit risk management process includes operational strategies and planning, marketing and promotion, performance evaluation, risk disclosure, and risk monitoring. The area of systems includes:Implementation of operations, credit services division of labor allows the risk assessment work to be independent of business operations to effectively balance performance and credit risk management.Approval procedures employ level-skipping approval method and implements detailed rules based on review management guidelines, so that upper management and lower level management are all responsible for the quality of and following up on risk assessment cases.Credit limits. Credit limit caps are to be limited to the maximum amounts of guaranteed credit limits and are not to exceed amounts stipulated for uncovered loans.The rating and grade model stresses employing some quantitative technologies to mitigate differences in understanding between operation and review personnel regarding risk management operations by measuring the company's overall credit and operation risk levels.Collateral is guaranteed to reduce the risks of unexpected changes or uncertain factors with value being determined using a collateral assessment process.Collection policies divide collection activities into different method types and manage and implement them to increase the amount of loan money that customers in arrears pay back.Reserves for bad debts. Procedures for setting aside reserves for uncollectable accounts are set up by employing an appropriate mechanism, so that they meet with financial and tax regulations.

(2) Major differences in the Company's articles of association and R.O.C. regulations on shareholders protection
The rights of shareholders Articles of Association Reasons
Influence on the rights of shareholders
1. Convention procedure and the method of adopting resolutions for the shareholders' meeting
1. The general meetings shall be held in Taiwan. For general meetings to be held outside Taiwan, the shareholders shall propose it for resolution in the Board meeting or report to TWSE for approval 2 days after the shareholders obtain an approval of convention from the authorities.
2. Any or plural number of shareholder(s) of a company who has (have) continuously held three percent (3%) or more of the total number of outstanding shares of the company for a period of one year or longer may, by filing a written proposal setting forth therein the subjects for discussion and the reasons, request the Board of Directors to convene a special shareholders' meeting. If the Board of Directors fails to give a notice for convening a special shareholders' meeting within fifteen (15) days after the filing of the request under the preceding paragraph, the proposing shareholder(s) may, after obtaining an approval from the competent authority, convene a special shareholders' meeting on his/their own.
Article 43 in the Articles of Association was revised according to the rights of shareholders except that it is not necessary to obtain an approval from the competent authorities before the shareholders convene a special shareholder's meeting on his/their own as stated in the left column.
With respect to convening a special shareholder's meeting on his/their own, it is not necessary to obtain an approval from the competent authorities under the Company Law of Cayman Islands; therefore, the article is not amended to "after obtaining an approval from the competent authority.
According to the description 2.(3) in Letter Tai-ZhengShang -Zi No. 0991701319 filed on April 13, 2010 by TWSE, the rights for the minority of shareholder to request for convening the special shareholders' meeting shall be established in the Articles of Association for foreign-owned published companies on the condition of no violation of local regulations on the registered place. The part of the approval for convention from the authorities shall be deleted. Therefore, the part of Articles has limited influence of the rights of shareholders.

The rights of shareholders Articles of Association Reasons
Influence on the rights of shareholders
If the proposal involves significant interest of shareholders as below, in the case of a company limited by shares: a resolution adopted, at a shareholders' meeting, by a majority of the shareholders present who represent two-thirds or more of the total number of its outstanding shares. If the total number of shares represented by the shareholders present at shareholders' meeting is not sufficient to meet the criteria specified in the preceding paragraph, the resolution to be made thereto may be adopted by two-thirds or more of the attending shareholders who represent a majority of the totalnumber of its outstanding shares :1. Enter into, amending, or terminating
any contract for lease of the company's business in whole, or for entrusted business, or for regular joint operation with others. Transferring the whole or any essential part of its business or assets. Accepting the transfer of another's whole business or assets, which has great bearingon the business operation of thecompany
2. Alteration of the Articles of Corporation of the company
3. Any modifications or alterations in the Articles of Incorporation prejudicial to the privileges of special shareholders shall also be adopted by a meeting of specialshareholders
4. Having the whole or a part of the surplus profit distributable as dividends and bonuses distributed in the form of new shares to be issued by the company
5. Resolution of dissolution, merger and split-up
6. Private placement of valuable securities
Article 64 and 66(b) in the Articles of Association with respect to the alternation of Articles of Association and the resolution threshold adopts the special resolution of Cayman Islands.
1. As to the method of adopting resolutions in the shareholders' meeting, the special resolution (special resolution for the Laws of Cayman Islands hereinafter) is established in Article 1 of the Articles of Association in addition to the ordinary resolutions and special(supermajority) resolutions under the Laws of R.O.C. The Company Laws under Cayman Islands define that the special resolution refers to the adoption of a resolution by at least two thirds of the votes of the shareholders present at a meeting of shareholders (including both personal attendance and proxy attendance, if allowed) if the meeting notice has clear notes that the special resolution will be adopted to make resolutions. However, the higher percentage of attendance can be designated according to the Articles of Association and the listed matters applicable to special resolutions can be passed at different percentages of attendance(but not lower than two thirds). The difference between the Articles of Association and the Rights of Shareholders is that the matters of special (supermajority) resolutions in the Rights of Shareholders shall be regulated by the special (supermajority) resolution and the special resolution under the Laws of Cayman Islands.
Since the difference is generated from the laws of Cayman Islands and the “Special Resolution” in rights of shareholders has been listed in the “Special Resolution for Cayman Laws “or “Special Resolutions”, the Articles ofAssociation should have limited influence on the rights of shareholders.

The rights of shareholders Articles of Association Reasons
Influence on the rights of shareholders
2. Under the Laws of Cayman Islands, (1) alternation of the Articles of Association shall be implemented in accordance with the special resolution in the Laws of Cayman Islands. Therefore, the resolution threshold for alternation of Articles of Association is not amended to the special (supermajority) resolution in the Laws of R.O.C. in accordance with the "Rights of Shareholders". Moreover, according to Article 16 in the Articles of Association, any modification or alternation in the Articles of Incorporation prejudicial to the privilege of special shareholders, it shall be adopted by the meeting of special shareholders under the Laws of Cayman Islands. (2) Dissolution shall be implemented in compliance with the Laws of Cayman Islands. According to the Laws of Cayman, the Company shall pass an Ordinary Resolution, if the Company resolves that it be wound up voluntarily because it is unable to pay its debts as they fall due. The Company shall abide by the special resolution under Laws of Cayman Islands, if the Company resolves that it be wound up voluntarily for reasons other than the reason stated above. Therefore, the resolution threshold of voluntary dissolution for the reason of unable to pay its debts has altered to supermajority resolution in the Laws of R.O.C. in accordance with the "Rights of Shareholders" in Article 66(a). As to the Article 66(b), the resolution threshold of voluntary dissolution for reasons other than the reason stated above, it shall abide by the special resolution under the Laws of Cayman Islands.

1. Supervisors of a company shall be elected by the meeting of shareholders, among them at least one supervisor shall have a domicile within the territory of the Republic of China.
2. The term of office of a supervisor shall not exceed three years, but he may be eligible for re-election.
3. In case all supervisors of a company are discharged, the Board of Directors shall, within 30 days, convene a special meeting of shareholders to elect new supervisors.
4. Supervisors shall supervise the execution of business operations of the company and may at any time or from time to time investigate the business and financial conditions of the company, examine the accounting books and documents, and request the Board of Directors or managerial personnel to make reports thereon.
5. Supervisors shall audit the various statements and records prepared for submission to the shareholders' meeting by the Board of Directors, and shall make a report of their findings and opinions at the meeting of shareholders.
6. The supervisors may appoint, on behalf of the company, a practicing lawyer and a certified public accountant to conduct the examination.
7. Supervisors of a company may attend the meeting of the Board of Directors to their opinions. In case the Board of Directors or any director commits any act, in carrying out the business operations of the company, in a manner in violation of the laws, regulations, the Articles of Incorporation or the resolutions of the shareholders' meeting, the supervisors shall forthwith advise, by a notice, to the Board of Directors or the director, as the case may be, to cease such act.
8. Supervisor may each exercise the supervision power individually.
9. A supervisor shall not be concurrently a director, a managerial officer or other staff/employee of the company.
There is no regulation related to supervisors in the Articles of Association.
Since there is no definition and regulation of supervisors under the Laws of Cayman Islands, the Articles of Association does not have regulations related to supervisors.
The rights of shareholders regulates that a company that has issued stock shall establish either an audit committee or a supervisor. Under the Article 131 of Articles of Association, the Audit Committee which is composed of all independent Directors is established and has equivalent authorities and functions to supervisors; as a result, there should be limited influence on the rights of shareholders.

3. Discharge of Directors
In case any director has transferred, during the term of office as a director, more than one half of the Company's shares being held by such director at the time of being elected, the director shall, ipso facto, be discharged from the office of director. If any director of the Company, after having been elected and before the inauguration of the office of director, has transferred more than one half of the total number of shares of the Company such director holds at the time of the election as such; or had transferred more than one half of the total number of shares such director held within the share transfer prohibition period fixed prior to the convention of a shareholders' meeting, then the election of the aforesaid director shall become invalid.
There is no regulation related to supervisors in the Articles of Association.
Since there is no identical or similar provisions regarding the discharge of Directors under the Laws of Cayman Islands, the Articles of Association does not have such rules.
Due to the discrepancy between the Laws of Cayman Islands and the Company Act of R.O.C., the Articles of Association of the Company is amended to include the provision specifying that any director transferring more than one half of the Company's shares shall be either discharged ipso facto or removed from the office as director of the Company retroactively since the election of such director in order to enhance the protection of the shareholders' benefits. This amendment is to be discussed and approved by the shareholders' meeting convened in 2015.
