ASRock Incorporation
2020 Business Report
Dear shareholders, it is indeed a great pleasure to have your presence in this regular session of the 2021 Shareholders Meeting. The PC market was so unpredictable in 2020. The quarantine policy in Mainland China in the 1st quarter of the year for containing the spread of COVID-19 resulted in an abrupt severance of the supply chain in PC production in the short run. As such, global shipment plummeted. The 2nd quarter of the year was also clouded by the pandemic, which triggered and simulated the practice of working, learning, and entertaining at home. The manufacturing sector in Mainland China also resumed normal production at this point in time, which contributed to the significant growth in the shipment of related electronic products. According to a research of IDC, global PC shipment increased by 13.1% in 2020, which was a record high in 10 years.
The growth of demand is much higher than expected. It was echoed with a number of other factors, including the China-US trade war and the scarcity of sea-air transport service worldwide, to the extent that shortage in supply of the industry change deteriorated quarter after quarter. This was indeed a severe challenge to the enterprises that demanded solutions from any possible means. The shortage in supply also triggered the sustained rising price of upstream semiconductor parts and components and freight. The strong appreciation of the NT Dollar also compelled the downstream enterprises to adjust their prices while providing the consumers with products at the best performance/price ratio. The effort of all has not been made in vain. ASRock has performed splendidly with sound results. The revenue of the year was unprecedented at a growth rate of 33.5%. Both the operating income and pre-tax profit increased a manifold.
Financial and Business Performance
The launch of differentiated products for market segmentation and the enhancement of brand image with concentration at specific areas of operation contributed to the performance of the motherboard sector in 2020. The diversified development strategy also yielded sound results, including the servers and display card, which continued to enjoy strong growth in 2020 and vitalized the operation in diversity.
ASRock had consolidated revenue of NT\$17,910 million in 2020, which was an increase of 33.5% from NT\$13,420 million in the same period of 2019. All product lines benefited from new products and product portfolios, which helped to drive up the gross margin. As such, ASRock had a gross margin of 21.5% in 2020, which was an increase of 3.3% from 18.2% in the same period of 2019. The enlargement of the scale of operation and the proper control of operating expenses allowed ASRock to yield consolidated net income amounting to NT\$1,360 million, which was an increase of 128% from NT\$600 million in the same period of 2019. Information on the Consolidated Financial Statements of ASRock Inc. is shown in the table below:

ASRock General Meeting of Shareholders
Convener of Auditing Committee: Wei, Ai

[Appendix 3]
Independent Auditors' Report Translated from Chinese
To ASROCK INC.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ASROCK INC. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (collectively "the parent company only financial statements").
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the "Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Investments accounted for using equity method - Inventory of Subsidiary
The net carrying value of inventory as of December 31, 2020 for ASROCK INC.'s investments accounted for using equity method - Inventory of Subsidiary was significant to the parent company only financial statements. ASROCK INC. and subsidiaries's main business, the sale of motherboard products, are affected by market demand and changes. The management measured allowance for inventory obsolescence valuation losses based on market demands. The valuation involved management's significant judgement, we have therefore determined valuation on inventory a key audit matter. The audit procedures we performed regarding inventories valuation included, but not limited to, understanding the program of estimating the allowance for inventory valuation, testing the effectiveness of relevant control. For the raw material and products, we selected samples and checked related certificates, to confirm the correctness of net realizable value that management used. In addition, we obtained and reviewed the full-year purchase and sales details of raw materials and products. For raw materials that are not frequently used and products with low sales volume, we referred to industry information and management to discuss the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses. We also considered the appropriateness of disclosure of inventories in Notes 5 and 6 of the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
The main source of revenue was from the sales of motherboard. Due to diversified pricing strategy, the orders and implied items in contracts usually included quantity discount and warranty, therefore the Company should determine the performance obligation and the timing of revenue recognition. Consequently, we considered that revenue recognition from contracts with customers is key audit matter. For revenue recognition, we have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls with respect to the revenue cycle, selecting representative samples to conduct test of transactions by inspecting contracts approved by both parties, identifying the performance obligation, evaluating whether the transaction prices were appropriately allocated to all the performance obligations in the contract in proportion to the stand-alone selling prices of each performance obligation, and confirming the correctness of timing when a performance obligation is satisfied. We also considered the appropriation of operating revenue disclosure in Notes 4, 5 and 6 of the parent company only financial statements.
Other Matter - Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors
We did not audit the parent company only financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method whose statements are based solely on the reports of other auditors. These investments accounted for using equity method amounted to \$675,353 thousand and \$573,720 thousand, representing 6.81% and 7.00% of the parent company only total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The related share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to \$155,464 thousand and \$39,298 thousand, representing 9.98% and 5.74% of the profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 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 parent company only 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:
-
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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.
-
- 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 internal control of the Company.
-
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
- Conclude on the appropriateness 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. 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 parent company only 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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 that were of most significance in the audit of 2020 parent company only financial statements 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.

Independent Auditors' Report Translated from Chinese
To ASROCK INC.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ASROCK INC. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (collectively "the consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the "Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Inventory valuation
The net carrying value of inventory as of December 31, 2020 for ASROCK INC. and its subsidiaries amounted to \$5,830,442 thousand, which accounted for 50 % of total assets and was significant to the consolidated financial statements. The Group's main business, the sale of motherboard products, are affected by market demand and changes. The management measured allowance for inventory obsolescence valuation losses based on market demands. The valuation involved management's significant iudgement, we have therefore determined valuation on inventory a key audit matter. The audit procedures we performed regarding inventories valuation included but not limited to, understanding the program of estimating the allowance for inventory valuation, testing the effectiveness of relevant control. For the raw material and products, we selected samples and checked related certificates, to confirm the correctness of net realizable value that management used. In addition, we obtained and reviewed the full-year purchase and sales details of raw materials and products. For raw materials that are not frequently used and products with low sales volume, we referred to industry information and management to discuss the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses. We also considered the appropriateness of disclosure of inventories in Notes 5 and 6 of the Company's consolidated financial statements.
للأرامي المرتبط والأمر
Revenue recognition
The main source of revenue was from the sales of motherboard. Due to diversified pricing strategy, the orders and implied item in contracts usually included quantity discount and warranty, therefore the Company and its subsidiaries should determine the performance obligation and the timing of revenue recognition. Consequently, we considered that revenue recognition from contracts with customers is key audit matter. For revenue recognition, we have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls with respect to the revenue cycle, selecting representative samples to conduct test of transactions by inspecting contracts approved by both parties, identifying the performance obligation, evaluating whether the transaction price were appropriately allocated to all the performance obligations in the contract in proportion to the stand-alone selling prices of each performance obligation, and confirming the correctness of timing when a performance obligation is satisfied. We also considered the appropriation of operating revenue disclosure in Notes 4, 5 and 6 of consolidated financial statements.
Other Matter - Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets of \$2,106,436 thousand and \$754,516 thousand, constituting 17.98% and 7.34% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and total operating revenues of \$7,937,631 thousand and \$2,938,050 thousand, constituting 44.32 % and 21.90 % of consolidated operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our 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 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:
-
- 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.
-
- 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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.
-
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
- Conclude on the appropriateness 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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 Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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 that were of most significance in the audit of 2020 consolidated financial statements 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.
Other
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion including Other Matter Paragraph on the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
