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, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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$99,033 thousand and NT$112,318 thousand, constituting 3.26% and 4.18% of the consolidated total assets; and the total liabilities amounting to NT$7,723 thousand and NT$11,429 thousand, constituting 0.58% and 1.02% of the consolidated total liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively; as well as the total comprehensive income (loss) amounting to NT$2,557 thousand and NT$9,955 thousand, constituting 2.06% and 9.66% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021, and of its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, as well as its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IASs 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued 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.

Amendments to IAS 1
“Disclosure of
Accounting Policies”
Amendments to IAS 8
“Definition of
Accounting
Estimates”
Content of amendment
The key amendments to IAS 1 include:
 requiring companies to disclose their material
accounting policies rather than their significant
accounting policies;
 clarifying that accounting policies related to immaterial
transactions, other events or conditions are themselves
immaterial and as such need not be disclosed; and
 clarifying that not all accounting policies that relate to
material transactions, other events or conditions are
themselves material to a company’s financial statements.
The amendments introduce a new definition for
accounting estimates: clarifying that they are monetary
amounts in the financial statements that are subject to
measurement uncertainty. The amendments also clarify the
relationship between accounting policies and accounting
estimates by specifying that a company develops an
accounting estimate to achieve the objective set out by an
accounting policy.

  1. Subsidiaries excluded from the consolidated financial statements: None.

  2. 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”.

(Continued)

104 CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” which are endorsed by FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis which are in conformity with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. For the related information, please refer to note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(6) Explanation of significant accounts

Except for the following disclosures, there is no significant difference as compared with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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 for notes receivable, accounts receivable and overdue receivable were determined as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company estimated its employees’ compensation to be $13,717 thousand and $9,734 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration of directors and supervisors to be $3,325 thousand and $2,360 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, 2021 and 2020, the employees’ compensation amounted to $37,510 thousand and $27,867 thousand, respectively, and the remunerations of directors and supervisors amounted to $9,093 thousand and $6,756 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.

The Consolidated Company does not expect the cash flows included in the maturity analysis to occur significantly earlier or at significantly different amounts.

3. Interest rate analysis

Though the interest rate of partial demand deposits and time deposits of the Consolidated Company were floating, it did not result in significant cash flow risk since the market rate did not fluctuate wildly.

  1. Currency risk

  2. (A) Exposure to foreign currency risk

The Consolidated Company’s significant exposure to foreign currency risk was as follows:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(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, 2022 and 2021, would have increased the net profit after tax by $293 thousand and $287 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

  • (C) Foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary items

The foreign exchange gains and losses (including realized and unrealized) on monetary items and the exchange rate to monetary New Taiwan Dollars (the expression of the Consolidated Company) were as follows:
