ALTEK CORPORATION

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors‟ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors‟ report and financial statements shall prevail.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR12000003

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Altek Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Altek Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the three-month periods then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company‟s management. Our responsibility is to issue a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36 “Review of Financial Statements” in the Republic of China. A review of interim financial information consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial information, applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of Company personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As described in Note 1, the financial statements of major subsidiaries-Altek International Investment Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary-Altek (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., were consolidated based on their reviewed on major accounts of financial statements as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Total assets of these subsidiaries amounted to $7,947,718 and $10,251,772, representing 41% and 51% of the consolidated total assets, as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The financial statements of the other subsidiaries were consolidated based on their unreviewed financial statements as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Total assets of these subsidiaries amounted to $2,634,707 and $2,401,484, representing 13% and 12% of the consolidated total assets, as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and total net operating revenues of these subsidiaries for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 representing less than 10% of the consolidated net operating revenues for the three-month periods then ended. In addition, as described in Note 4(6) to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of long-term investments accounted for under the equity method were not reviewed by independent accountants. Long-term equity investments in these companies amounted to $389,043 and $347,285 as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the related investment loss amounted to $3,290 and $4,911 for the

1

three-month periods then ended. These amounts were based solely on their unreviewed financial statements.

Based on our reviews, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain subsidiaries and investee companies been reviewed by independent accountants as described in the third paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph in order for them to be in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”, Gin-Gwen-Jen (6) Letter No. 0960064020 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan dated November 15, 2007, “Simplified Disclosure for the Notes to Third-Quarter Consolidated Financial Statements” and generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China.

Altek Corporation expects to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (collectively referred herein as the IFRSs) as recognized by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan, R.O.C (FSC) and the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” that will be applied in 2013 in the preparation of consolidated financial statements of Altek Corporation and its subsidiaries starting from January 1, 2013. Information relating to the adoption of IFRSs by Altek Corporation is disclosed in Note 13 in accordance with Jin-Guan-Zheng-Shen-Zi Order No.0990004943 of the FSC, dated February 2, 2010. The IFRSs may be subject to changes during the time of transition; therefore, the actual impact of IFRSs adoption on Altek Corporation and its subsidiaries may also change.

Explanation for adjustments:

(i) In accordance with current accounting standards in the R.O.C., a deferred tax asset or liability should, according to the classification of its related asset or liability, be classified as current or noncurrent. However, a deferred tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting should

25

be classified as current or noncurrent according to the expected time period to realize or settle a deferred tax asset or liability. However, under IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”, an entity should not classify a deferred tax asset or liability as current. Accordingly, the Company is going to reclassify the account “deferred income tax assets” from current to non-current on transition date.

  • (ii) The discount rate used to calculate pensions shall be determined with reference to the factors specified in R.O.C. SFAS 18, paragraph 23. However, IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”, requires an entity to determine the rate used to discount employee benefits with reference to market yields on high quality corporate bonds that match the currency at the end day of the reporting period and duration of its pension plan; when there is no deep market in corporate bonds, an entity is required to use market yields on government bonds (at the end day of the reporting period) instead. Besides, in accordance with current accounting standards in the R.O.C., the unrecognized transitional net benefit obligation should be amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees still in service and expected to receive benefits. However, in accordance with IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”, the unrecognized transitional net benefit obligation should be recognized as an expense immediately at the date of adoption. Due to the above difference and in order to eliminate the difference in employee benefits upon adoption of IFRS, the Company increased the accrued pension liabilities by $14,718, and simultaneously reduced retained earnings by $14,718 on transition date.

  • (iii) In accordance with current accounting standards in the R.O.C., if an investee company issues new shares and original shareholders do not purchase or acquire new shares proportionately, but the investor company does not lose its significant influence over the investee company, the investment percentage, and therefore the equity in net assets for the investment that an investor company has invested, will be changed. Such difference shall be used to adjust the „Additional paid-in capital‟ and the „Long-term equity investments‟ accounts. However, in accordance with IAS 28, “Investments in Associates”, increase in investment percentage is accounted for as an acquisition of investment; while, decrease in investment percentage is accounted for as a disposal of investment and any related disposal gain or loss is recognized. Accordingly, the company reduced the additional paid-in capital from investee under equity method by $13,187 and simultaneously increased the retained earnings by $13,187 on transition date.

  • (iv) The Group elected to use the exemption of the cumulative translation differences relating to the investment in a foreign operation. The subsequent changes in foreign exchange rate are treated in accordance with IAS 21, “Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”. Therefore, the Group decreased the cumulative translation differences and increased retained earnings by $143,987, respectively.

  • (v) In accordance with Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Order No. 1010012865 of the FSC, dated April 6, 2012, the Group shall set aside special reserve by $142,456 for the net increases of retained earnings upon adoption of IFRS.
