Consolidated Financial Statements

With Independent Auditors’ Review Report For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

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. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of the English and Chinese language independent auditors’ review report and consolidated financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

To the Board of Directors of AU Optronics Corp.:

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AU Optronics Corp. and its subsidiaries (“ the Company” ) as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, as well as the changes in equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 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 the International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect 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

We conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standard No. 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.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, 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 Company as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, as well as its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Accounting Standard 34, “ Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners on the review resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Yu, Chi-Lung and Yu, Wan-Yuan.

(3) Employee benefits

Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuariallydetermined pension cost rate at the end of prior fiscal year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations subsequent to the end of prior fiscal year and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-time events.

(4) Income taxes

The Company measures and discloses interim period income tax expense in accordance with paragraph B12 of IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

Income tax expense for the period is best estimated by multiplying pre-tax income of the interim period by a projected annual effective tax rate, and is recognized as current tax expense.

For a change in the statutory tax rate during the interim period, the effect on deferred taxes is recognized immediately during the interim reporting period in which the change in tax rate occurs.

Income taxes that are recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income are measured in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding tax bases at the tax rates that are expected to be applied in the year in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled.

  • (5) Noncurrent assets held for sale

Noncurrent assets are classified as held for sale when their carrying amounts are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such noncurrent assets must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale is highly probable within one year. When classified as held for sale, the assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss. However, subsequent gains are not recognized in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized.

When property, plant and equipment are classified as held for sale, they are no longer depreciated.

5. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimations and Assumptions Uncertainty

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as endorsed and issued into effect by the 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.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimations and assumptions uncertainty used by management in the application of accounting policies are consistent with those described in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

6. Description of Significant Accounts

(9) Acquisition of Business

In February 2020, the Company acquired the business of integration service of content management system and hardware from John Ryan International Inc., John Ryan Technology, Inc., Cutler holdings Inc. and their subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “John Ryan”). Through the acquisition of the business, the Company expects to extend the relevant business to the financial industry.

If the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2020, management estimated that the Company’s consolidated revenue and consolidated net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 would have been $117,204,243 thousand and $8,989,021 thousand, respectively. In determining these amounts, management had assumed that the fair value adjustments, determined provisionally, that arose on the acquisition date would have been the same if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2020. The aforementioned pro-forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily an indication of consolidated revenue and results of operations of the Company that would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2020, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

Acquisition-related costs of $4,701 thousand on legal fees and due diligence fees were expensed and recognized in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following table summarized each major class of consideration transferred, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date and the amount of goodwill recognized.

In accordance with the terms of the contingent consideration, in the event that the annual revenue and the annual recurring revenue rendered from the acquired business for the year ended December 31, 2020 are either greater than the agreed revenue targets or hit the agreed goals specified in the agreement, or in the event that John Ryan assists in acquiring specific business within the period specified in the agreement, the Company will pay additional consideration of USD 750 thousand and USD 1,492 thousand, respectively, to John Ryan. Under the arrangement of the contingent consideration, the potential undiscounted amount of the contingent payment that the Company may have to pay in the future is between USD 0 thousand and USD 2,242 thousand.

The fair value of the contingent consideration estimated using Monte Carlo simulation and expected value was $44,261 thousand. The fair value measurement was based on the significant unobservable inputs in the market and categorised as a Level 3 fair value under IFRS 13. The significant inputs in the valuation technique used are discount rate of 5.2% and revenue volatility rate of 12.8%.

Notwithstanding that the annual revenue and the annual recurring revenue rendered from the acquired business for the year ended December 31, 2020 were neither greater than the agreed revenue targets nor hit the agreed goals specified in the agreement, John Ryan assisted in acquiring specific business within the period specified in the agreement. Therefore, based on the agreement, the Company has paid USD 1,492 thousand to John Ryan from a trust account as agreed. The remeasurement of the fair value of the aforementioned contingent consideration agreement is consistent with the amount estimated and recorded.

AUO and ACTW decided to dispose part of their plants and related appendages pursuant to the resolution of their respective Board of Directors’ meeting held on April 28, 2021 and March 16, 2021. The aforementioned assets have been reclassified as noncurrent assets held for sale. The relevant procedures are expected to be completed within twelve months. As of June 30, 2021, the consideration of the transactions received in advance were $415,000 thousand and $49,000 thousand, respectively (recognized in other current liabilities).

DPSZ decided to dispose part of its right-of-use assets, plants and related appendages pursuant to the resolution of its Board of Directors’ meeting held on June 29, 2021. The relevant procedures are expected to be completed within twelve months. However, as production activities were still ongoing at the aforementioned plants as of June 30, 2021, and those assets did not meet the requirements for the transfer of noncurrent assets held for sale, therefore, those assets were still classified as right-ofuse assets and property, plant and equipment, respectively.

Except for the aforementioned transactions, there was no significant change in the Company’ s property, plant and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Refer to Note 6(8) of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 for the related disclosures.

  • c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

The amendments to AUO’ s Articles of Incorporation had been approved by AUO’ s shareholders in its meeting held on June 14, 2019. Pursuant to the amendments, the distribution of earnings by way of cash dividends should be approved by AUO’s Board of Directors and reported to AUO’s shareholders in its meeting.

In accordance with AUO’ s Articles of Incorporation, after payment of income taxes and offsetting accumulated deficits, the legal reserve shall be set aside until the accumulated legal reserve equals AUO’ s paid-in capital. In addition, a special reserve in accordance with applicable laws and regulations shall also be set aside or reversed. The remaining current-year earnings together with accumulated undistributed earnings from preceding years can be distributed according to relevant laws and AUO’s Articles of Incorporation.

Legal reserve may be used to offset a deficit. When the Company incurs no loss, it may distribute its legal reserve by issuing new shares or by cash in accordance with the proportion of shareholdings for the portion in excess of 25% of the paid-in capital.

AUO’s dividend policy is to pay dividends from surplus considering factors such as AUO’s current and future investment environment, cash requirements, domestic and overseas competitive conditions and capital budget requirements, while taking into account shareholders’ interest, maintenance of balanced dividend and AUO’s long-term financial plan. If the current-year retained earnings available for distribution reach 2% of the paid-in capital of AUO, dividend to be distributed shall be no less than 20% of the current-year retained earnings available for distribution. If the current-year retained earnings available for distribution do not reach 2% of the paid-in capital of AUO, AUO may decide not to distribute dividend. The cash portion of the dividend, which may be in the form of cash and stock, shall not be less than 10% of the total dividend distributed during the year. The dividend distribution ratio aforementioned could be adjusted after taking into consideration factors such as finance, business and operations, etc.

Pursuant to relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the local authority, total net debit balance of the other components of equity shall be set aside from current earnings as special reserve, and not for distribution. Subsequent decrease pertaining to items that are accounted for as a reduction to the other components of equity shall be reclassified from special reserve to undistributed earnings.

AUO’ s annual shareholders’ meeting held on June 17, 2020 resolved to set aside a special reserve of $1,157,614 thousand and not to distribute dividends for 2019.

The aforementioned appropriation of earnings for 2019 was consistent with the resolutions of the Board of Directors’ meeting held on March 20, 2020.

The amounts of revenue recognized for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 that previously included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period were $27,107 thousand, $12,820 thousand, $253,571 thousand and $458,900 thousand, respectively. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2021, AUO entered into long-term sales agreements with customers and received payments in advance. Under the agreements, the customers should fulfill the requirement of minimum order quantity and AUO should fulfill the obligation of relevant delivery quantity as agreed. AUO accounted for such obligation as contract liabilities.

(22) Remuneration to Employees and Directors

According to AUO’s Articles of Incorporation, AUO should distribute remuneration to employees and directors no less than 5% and no more than 1% of annual profits before income tax, respectively, after offsetting accumulated deficits, if any. Only employees, including employees of affiliate companies that meet certain conditions are entitled to the abovementioned remuneration which to be distributed in stock or cash. The said conditions and distribution method are decided by Board of Directors or the personnel authorized by Board of Directors.

AUO accrued remuneration to employees based on the profit before income tax excluding the remuneration to employees and directors for the period, multiplied by the percentage resolved by Board of Directors. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, AUO estimated the remuneration to employees amounting to $2,015,080 thousand and $3,253,826 thousand, respectively. Remuneration to directors was estimated based on the amount expected to pay and recognized together with the remuneration to employees as cost of sales or operating expenses. AUO did not accrue remuneration to employees and directors due to the loss position for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020. If remuneration to employees is resolved to be distributed in stock, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of remuneration by the closing price of the shares (ignoring ex-dividend effect) on the day preceding the Board of Directors’ meeting. If there is a change in the proposed amounts after the annual consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue, the differences are accounted for as a change in accounting estimate and adjusted prospectively to next year’s profit or loss.

Remuneration to employees and directors for 2020 in the amounts of $253,493 thousand and $8,275 thousand, respectively, in cash for payment had been approved in the meeting of Board of Directors held on March 16, 2021. The aforementioned approved amounts are the same as the amounts charged against earnings of 2020.

  • (25) Income Taxes

The Company cannot file a consolidated tax return under local regulations. Therefore, AUO and its subsidiaries calculate their income taxes liabilities individually on a stand-alone basis using the enacted tax rates in their respective tax jurisdictions.

Income tax expense is best estimated by multiplying pre-tax income (loss) of the interim period by a projected annual effective tax rate as forecasted by the management.

The components of income tax expense were as follows:

Current income tax expense:
Current year
Adjustment to prior years and
others

The carrying amounts of the Company’s current non-derivative financial instruments, including financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, were considered to approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. This methodology applies to cash and cash equivalents, receivables or payables (including related parties), other current financial assets, and short-term borrowings.

Disclosures of fair value are not required for the financial instruments abovementioned and lease liabilities. Other than those, the carrying amount and fair value of other financial instruments of the Company as of June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020 were as follows:

  • b. Valuation techniques and assumptions applied in fair value measurement

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices. The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities without quoted market prices are estimated using valuation approach. The estimates and assumptions used are the same as those used by market participants in the pricing of financial instruments.

Fair value of foreign currency forward contract is measured based on the maturity date of each contract with quoted spot rate and quoted swap points from Reuters quote system.

Fair value of structured investment product is measured based on the discounted future cash flows arising from principal consideration and probable gains estimate to be received.

For domestic and foreign time deposits with fixed interest rates, their fair value approximate to their carrying amount.

Fair value of long-term payable is determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a market interest rate.

The refundable deposits and guarantee deposits are based on carrying amount as there is no fixed maturity.

The fair value of floating-rate long-term borrowings approximates to their carrying value.

  • c. Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheets

The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability in the principal market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

  • (i) Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

  • (ii) Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included within Level 1, inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • (iii) Level 3 inputs: Derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The fair value measurement level of an asset or a liability within their fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company’s management reviews the policy and procedures of fair value measurements at least once at the end of the annual reporting period, or more frequently as deemed necessary. When a fair value measurement involves one or more significant inputs that are unobservable, the Company monitors the valuation process discreetly and examines whether the inputs are used the most relevant market data available.

b. Sensitivity analysis

The Company’ s exposure to foreign currency risk arises mainly from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans and borrowings and trade payables that are denominated in foreign currency. Depreciation or appreciation of the NTD by 1% against the USD, EUR and JPY at June 30, 2021 and 2020, while all other variables were remained constant, would have increased or decreased the net profit before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 as follows:
