ALTEK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT

ACCOUNTANTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018 (Stock Code:3059)

~1~

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Altek Corporation

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Altek Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, as well as the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Report by Securities Issuers” and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65, “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Republic of China. A review of 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China 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 explained in Note 4(3), the financial statements of certain non-significant consolidated subsidiaries and the information disclosed in Note 13 were based solely on the reports prepared by those subsidiaries which were not reviewed by independent accountants. Those statements reflect total assets of NT$1,569,697 and NT$5,898,888, constituting 11% and 34% of the consolidated total assets, and total liabilities of NT$6,461 and NT$317,181, constituting 0% and 4% of the consolidated total liabilities as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and total comprehensive income of (NT$32,344),

~2~

NT$9,868, (NT$15,716) and NT$109,215, constituting 19%, 4%, 19% and 20% of the absolute values of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, respectively.

As described in Note 6(7) to the consolidated financial statements, investments accounted for under equity method had book values both amounting to NT$0 as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related investment income both amounted to NT$0 for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended. These amounts were based solely on the unreviewed financial statements of this investee.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our reviews, except for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain non-significant consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for under equity method been reviewed by independent accountants, that we might have become aware of had it not been for the situation described above, 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 the Group as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, and of its consolidated financial performance for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended and its consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended in accordance with “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

ALTEK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018

(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, except as otherwise indicated) (Unaudited)

1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

Altek Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated as a company limited by shares under the provisions of the Company Law of the Republic of China (R.O.C.). The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) are primarily engaged in the development, manufacturing and sale of digital image technology application, and related export and import trade.

The Company was listed in the Taiwan Stock Exchange on December 24, 2002, as approved by the TaiTz (91) Letter No. 024976 of the former Securities and Futures Commission, Ministry of Finance, R.O.C., dated September 27, 2002.

2. THE DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORIZATION

These consolidated financial statements were reported to the Board of Directors and issued on November 4, 2019.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

  • (1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”) New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:
follows:
New Standards,Interpretations and Amendments Effective date by
International Accounting
Standards Board
Amendments to IFRS 9, ‘Prepayment features with negative compensation’
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’
Amendments to IAS 28, ‘Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures’
IFRIC 23, ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’
Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle
January 1, 2019
January 1, 2019
January 1, 2019
January 1, 2019
January 1, 2019
January 1, 2019

Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.

~11~

IFRS 16, ‘Leases’

  • A. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.

  • B. The Group has elected to apply IFRS 16 by not restating the comparative information (referred herein as the ‘modified retrospective approach’) when applying “IFRSs” effective in 2019 as endorsed by the FSC. Accordingly, the Group increased both ‘right-of-use asset’ and ‘lease liability’ by $107,196 on January 1, 2019.

  • C. The Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard at the date of initial application of IFRS 16:

  • (a) Reassessment as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is not required, instead, the application of IFRS 16 depends on whether or not the contracts were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

  • (b) The accounting for operating leases whose period will end before December 31, 2019 are treated as short-term leases and accordingly, rent expense of $6,456 was recognised in the third quarter of 2019.

  • (c) The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of ‘right-of-use asset’.

  • (d) The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

  • D. The Group calculated the present value of lease liabilities by using the weighted average incremental borrowing interest rate range from 1.1% to 1.25%.

  • E. The Group recognised lease liabilities which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, ‘Leases’. The reconciliation between operating lease commitments under IAS 17 measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate and lease liabilities recognised as of January 1, 2019 is as follows:

~12~
Operating lease commitments disclosed by applying IAS 17 as at
December 31, 2018 $ 44,230
Less: Short-term leases ( 425)
Add: Adjustments as a result of a different treatment of
extension and termination options 83,294
Total lease contracts amount recognised as lease liabilities by applying
IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 127,099
Incremental borrowing interest rate at the date of
initial application 1.1%~1.25%
Lease liabilities recognised as at January 1, 2019 by applying IFRS 16 $ 107,196

(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by

the Group

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2020 are as follows:

follows:
New Standards,Interpretations and Amendments Effective date by
International Accounting
Standards Board
Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure Initiative-Definition of
Material’
Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Definition of a business’
January 1, 2020
January 1, 2020

The above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.

(3) IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC are as follows:

endorsed by the FSC are as follows:
New Standards,Interpretations and Amendments Effective date by
International Accounting
Standards Board
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, ‘Sale or contribution of assets
between an investor and its associate or joint venture’
IFRS 17, ‘Insurance contracts’
To be determined by
International Accounting
Standards Board
January 1, 2021

  • C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.

  • E. Significant restrictions: None.

  • F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.

  • (4) Leasing arrangements (lessee) right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities Effective 2019

  • A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate.

    • Lease payments are comprised of the fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable. The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
  • C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following: (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; and

    • (b) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.

The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

(5) Employee benefits

Pension-Defined benefit plans

Pension cost for the interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the pension cost rate derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-off events. And, the related information is disclosed accordingly.

~16~

(6) Income tax

  • A. The interim period income tax expense is recognized based on the estimated average annual effective income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pretax income of the interim period, and the related information is disclosed accordingly.

  • B. If a change in tax rate is enacted or substantively enacted in an interim period, the Group recognises the effect of the change immediately in the interim period in which the change occurs. The effect of the change on items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity while the effect of the change on items recognized in profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION

  • B. Financial risk management policies

  • (a) The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. To minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts are used to hedge certain exchange rate risk, and interest rate swaps are used to fix variable future cash flows. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.

  • (b) Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

  • C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks

  • (a) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

  • i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to exchange rate risk arising from the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries used in various functional currency, primarily with respect to the USD and RMB. Exchange rate risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.
~50~
  • ii. Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The companies are required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Group treasury. Exchange rate risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable USD and RMB expenditures. Forward foreign exchange contracts are adopted to minimize the volatility of the exchange rate affecting cost of forecast inventory purchases.

  • iii. The Group has certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. Currency exposure arising from the net assets of the Group’s foreign operations is managed primarily through borrowings denominated in the relevant foreign currencies.

  • iv. The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

v. Total exchange gain , including realized and unrealized arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the three-month and ninemonth periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $7,290, $26,502, $8,776 and $5,589, respectively.

~52~

Price risk

  • i. The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise shares and open-end funds issued by the domestic and foreign companies. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 would have increased/decreased by $3,160 and $78,162, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $5,907 and $11,267, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

Interest risk arises from the changes of market interest rate causing fluctuation in financial instruments’ fair value or cash received and paid in the future. The Group raised short-term and long-term borrowings at fixed rates during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and thus had no significant cash flow interest rate risk.

  • (b) Credit risk

  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms.

  • ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • iii. The Group adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.

  • iv. The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:

    • If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
~53~
  • v. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:

  • (i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;

(c) Liquidity risk

  • i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, and compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.

  • ii. Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above the balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Group treasury. Group treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, time deposits and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient head-room as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts.

(3) Fair value estimation

  • A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed beneficiary certificates, on-the-run derivative instruments with quoted market prices is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.

  • B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(10).

  • C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities are as follows: (a)The related information of natures of the assets is as follows :

(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows: i The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:

Open-end fund Market quoted price Net asset value

ii The fair value of Level 2 financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date.

  • G. Accounting Department segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value. Investment property is valuated regularly by the Group’s Accounting Department segment based on the valuation methods and assumptions announced by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Securities and Futures Bureau or through outsourced appraisal performed by the external valuer.
