Consolidated Financial Statements
With Independent Auditors’ Review Report For the Three Months Ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 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.

Lextar, upon the resolution of its Board of Directors on June 18, 2020, carried out a joint share exchange with Epistar Corporation (“Epistar”) for a newly incorporated company, Ennostar. Such plan was also approved by Lextar’s and Epistar’s special shareholders’ meetings held on August 7, 2020. In November 2020, Lextar received a written decision on anti-monopoly examination of the business operators’ concentration from the Antitrust authority in China wherein the authority approved and decided not to prohibit the concentration. On the record date, January 6, 2021, Ennostar’ s shares have been publicly listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. In the meanwhile, Lextar’s and Epistar’s listing and public offering were terminated. Upon completion of the share exchange, the Company still remains significant influence over Ennostar.
When the share exchange took place on January 6, 2021, the Company deemed the conversion of shares of Lextar as disposal. The fair value at disposal was $3,577,076 thousand and the gain on disposal was $888,925 thousand.
In consideration of the Company’s operational strategy, the Company has continued to increase its shareholdings in Qisda since November 2020.

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 three months ended March 31, 2020 would have been $53,704,115 thousand and $5,786,583 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.

| Cash Contingent consideration |
Amounts |
|---|---|
| $ 216,944 45,147 $ 262,091 |
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 $45,147 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 did not accrue remuneration to employees and directors due to the loss position for the three months ended March 31, 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.
The information about AUO’s remuneration to employees and directors is available at the Market Observation Post System website.

- (24) 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 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 |

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.
(Continued)
37
AU OPTRONICS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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.

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 March 31, 2021 and 2020, while all other variables were remained constant, would have increased or decreased the net profit before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 as follows:

(4) Litigation
Antitrust civil actions lawsuits in the United States and other jurisdictions
In May 2014, LG Electronics Nanjing Display Co., Ltd. and seven of its affiliates filed a lawsuit in Seoul Central District Court against certain LCD manufacturers including AUO, alleging overcharge and claiming damages. AUO does not believe service has been properly made, but in order to protect its rights, AUO has retained counsel to handle the related matter, and at this stage, the final outcome of these matters is uncertain. AUO has been reviewing the merits of this lawsuit on an on-going basis.
In September 2018, AUUS received a complaint filed by the Government of Puerto Rico on its own behalf and on behalf of all consumers and governmental agencies of Puerto Rico against certain LCD manufacturers including AUO and AUUS in the Superior Court of San Juan, Court of First Instance alleging unjust enrichment and claiming unspecified monetary damages. AUO has retained counsel to handle the related matter and intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously, and at this stage, the final outcome of these matters is uncertain. AUO is reviewing the merits of this lawsuit on an on-going basis.
As of April 28, 2021, the Company has made certain provisions with respect to certain of the above lawsuits as the management deems appropriate, considering factors such as the nature of the litigation or claims, the materiality of the amount of possible loss, the progress of the cases and the opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisors. Management will reassess all litigation and claims at each reporting date based on the facts and circumstances that exist at that time, and will make additional provisions or adjustments to previous provisions. The ultimate amount cannot be ascertained until the relevant cases are closed. The ultimate resolution of the legal proceedings and/or lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty. While management intends to defend certain of the lawsuits described above vigorously, there is a possibility that one or more legal proceedings or lawsuits may result in an unfavorable outcome to the Company. In addition to the matters described above, the Company is also a party to other litigations or proceedings that arise during the ordinary course of business. Except as mentioned above, the Company, to its knowledge, is not involved as a defendant in any material litigation or proceeding which could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or results of operations.

12. Others
- (1) Seasonality of operations
The Company’s operations are not materially influenced by seasonality or cyclicality.
- (2) Since 2010, there have been environmental proceedings relating to the development project of the Central Taiwan Science Park in Houli, Taichung, which AUO’s second 8.5-generation fab is located at (the “Project”). The Environmental Protection Administration (“EPA”) of the Executive Yuan of Taiwan issued the environmental assessment and development approval in 2010. On October 24, 2019, the Appeal Review Committee of the Executive Yuan rejected the administrative appeal filed by five local residents. On December 24, 2019, the residents have proceeded to file an administrative action for invalidating the environmental assessment again. The matter is still under review by the court.
