Independent Auditors’ Review Report

To the Board of Directors of 104 Corporation:

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 104 Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards 65, “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of the consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As stated in Note 4(2), the consolidated financial statements included the financial statements of certain nonsignificant subsidiaries, which were not reviewed by independent auditors. These financial statements reflect the total assets amounting to NT$112,318 thousand and NT$119,073 thousand, constituting 4.18% and 4.60% of the consolidated total assets; and the total liabilities amounting to NT$11,429 thousand and NT$15,197 thousand, constituting 1.02% and 1.48% of the consolidated total liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively; as well as the total comprehensive gain (loss) amounting to NT$9,955 thousand and NT$ (2,472) thousand, constituting 9.66% and (4.06)% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

4

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our reviews, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain non-significant subsidiaries as described in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph above been reviewed by independent auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of 104 Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and of its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, as well as its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IASs 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners of KPMG on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s report are Min-Ju Chao and Chun-Hsiu Kuang.

Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China) May 6, 2021

The independent auditors’ review report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China.

  • 3) Employee benefits

The pension cost for an interim period was calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior fiscal year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

  • 4) Income taxes

The income tax expenses have been prepared and disclosed in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

Income tax expenses for the period are best estimated by multiplying pre-tax income for the interim reporting period using the effective annual tax rate as forecasted by the management. This should be recognized fully as tax expense for the current period.

Temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases shall be measured based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the time of the asset or liability is recovered or settled, and be recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income as tax expense.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

The Consolidated Company applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, notes, accounts and overdue receivable have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information, including macroeconomic and relevant industry information.

The loss allowance was determined as follows:

  • 13) Employees’ compensation and remunerations of directors and supervisors

In accordance with the Articles of incorporation, if the Company operates at a profit (the profit so called is pre-tax profit before deducting employees’ compensation and remunerations of directors and supervisors) it shall contribute 8%~15% of profit as employees’ compensation and remunerations of directors and supervisors no more than 3%. However, any losses accumulated by the corporation to date shall be paid off first.

The employees’ compensation in the preceding paragraph shall be distributed in the form of shares or in cash and object of payment includes the employees of subsidiaries of the corporation meeting certain specific requirements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company estimated its employees’ compensation to be $9,734 thousand and $7,001 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration of directors and supervisors to be $2,360 thousand and $1,697 thousand, respectively. The estimated amounts mentioned above are calculated based on the net profit before tax, excluding the remuneration to employees, directors and supervisors of each period, multiplied by the percentage of remuneration to employees, directors and supervisors as specified in the Company’s Articles. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or operating expenses for each period. If there are any subsequent adjustments to the actual remuneration amounts, the adjustment will be regarded as changes in accounting estimates and will be reflected in profit or loss in the following year. If the employees’ compensation is paid by the Company’s stock, the numbers of shares to be distributed were calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares, one day before the date of the meeting of board of directors.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the employees’ compensation amounted to $27,867 thousand and $30,372 thousand, respectively, and the remunerations of directors and supervisors amounted to $6,756 thousand and $7,363 thousand, respectively. There was no difference between the aforementioned amounts and the amounts approved in board of directors’ meeting. The related information is available on the Market Observation Post System website.

  • (B) Sensitivity analysis

The Consolidated Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents that are denominated in a foreign currency. A weakening of 1% of the TWD against the USD as at March 31, 2021 and 2020, would have increased the net profit after tax by $287 thousand and $303 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.
