INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT The Board of Directors and Shareholders FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). 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 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 reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65 "Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". 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 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 disclosed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of non-significant subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph were not reviewed. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$503,098 thousand and NT$588,619 thousand, respectively, representing 4% and 5%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and combined total liabilities of these subsidiaries were NT$35,648 thousand and NT$98,299 thousand, respectively, representing 1% and 2%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities; for the three months and three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the amounts of combined comprehensive income(loss) of these subsidiaries were NT$(48,101) thousand,NT$(25,489) thousand respectively, representing (6%) (33%).

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our reviews, except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of the non-significant subsidiaries and as described in the preceding paragraph been reviewed, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 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 reviews resulting in this independent auditors' review report are Shiow-Ming Shue and Chih-Ming Shao.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (“the Regulations”) and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual financial statements.

  • b. Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and the net defined benefit liabilities recognized in the amount of the present value of defined benefit obligation less the fair value of any plan assets.

The evaluation of fair value could be classified into Level 1 to Level 3 by the observable intensity and importance of related input value:

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

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

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

  • c. Basis of consolidation

The detail information, holding percentages, and main business of the subsidiaries could be found in Note 12.

  • d. Other significant accounting policies

Except for the following, the accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

  • 1) Retirement benefits

Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, and adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

  • 2) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period’s pre-tax income and the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Critical accounting judgments, estimations and assumptions applied in these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The average credit term for sales of goods was 60-120 days. In order to minimize credit risk, management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining line of credit, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivable at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the Group’s

management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Group applies the simplified approach prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of allowances of expected credit losses over the lifetime for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by using an allowance matrix with references to past customer default records, customer’s current financial position, and general economic conditions of the industry. Due to the past experiences, there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups. Therefore, the allowance matrix does not further distinguish the customer base, and only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the overdue days of trade receivable.

The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Group’s allowance matrix. March 31, 2021

The amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation had been approved by the Company’s shareholders in its meeting held on June 20, 2019, which stipulate that earnings distribution may be made on a quarterly basis after the close of each quarter.

The Company’s amended Articles of Incorporation provides that, when distributing earnings belonging to the first three quarter, the Company shall first estimate and reserve taxes to be paid, offset its deficits, estimate and reserve employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors, then set aside a legal capital reserve at 10% of the remaining earnings and set aside or reversing special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings at the beginning shall be used by the Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan after the Company’s board of directors consider operational situation and retain proper amount. By the way of stock dividends, it shall be approved by the Company’s shareholders in its meeting; by the way of cash dividends, it shall be approved by the Company’s board of directors.

When distributing annual earnings, the Company shall pay taxes, offset its losses, set aside 10% as legal reserve, then set aside or reverse a special reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations. The Board of Directors shall prepare a distribution proposal for the remaining earnings plus the unappropriated retained earnings of previous years. Earnings distribution may be made in the form of shares after an approved resolution made by the shareholders’ meeting. Pursuant to the Company Act, the distributable dividends and bonuses or the legal reserve and the capital reserve (stipulated in Article 241, Paragraph 1 of the Company Act) in whole or in part may be paid in cash after a resolution has been adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of the board of directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors; and in addition to a report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting.

Before the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation on shareholders’ meeting on June 20, 2019, the earing distribution is only allowed after yearly closing by the approval of the shareholders’ meeting. The rest retained earnings and dividends policy are consistent.

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

On June 20, 2020, the shareholders’ meeting resolved that the Company’s Articles of Incorporation amended on June 20, 2019 shall be revised back to the previous version.

The dividends could be paid in cash or shares. The cash portion should be equal or more than 10% of the total dividends. It is allowed not to distribute any cash dividend if the cash amount per share is less than NT 0.5.

Legal reserve should be appropriated from earnings until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

NT$183,307 thousand from additional paid-in capital for loss offsetting as well as the cash distribution of NT$150,000 thousand, i.e. NT$0.50291032 per share, from additional paid-in capital of share issue premium had been approved in the Company’s shareholders’ meeting on June 20, 2020.

The fair values of foreign fixed income bonds are determined by quoted market prices provided by the independent third party. The fair values of structured investments are determined by quoted prices provided by the seller.

  • 4) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair values of non-publicly traded equity investments are mainly determined by using the market approach, with reference to the recent financing activities of investees or the market transaction prices and status of the similar instruments. The Group evaluated and selected the suitable valuation method with discretion, but the use of different valuation models or fair values may result in different valuation results.

The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation value at the end of the reporting period by a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number in below table indicates an increase in pre-tax profit or equity associated with a 5% depreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar against the U.S. dollar.

i. This was mainly attributable to the outstanding balances of USD time deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, other payables, other current assets and other current liabilities.

b) Interest rate risk

The Group was exposed to interest rate risk primarily related to its investments in fixed-rate time deposits, bonds, floating-rate demand deposits and structured investments. The time deposits were at fixed interest rates, and bonds were at fixed rates or with guaranteed minimal interest rates and carried. Therefore, changes in interest rates would not affect estimated profit or loss regarding to the financial instruments above.

Financial assets exposed to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

Sensitivity analysis

The below sensitivity analysis was determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments as of the end of the reporting period. An increase or a decrease of 25 basis points was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/ lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 would increase/ decrease by NT$2,373 thousand and NT$1,374 thousand, respectively.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. As at the end of the reporting period, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Company due to failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation could arise from the carrying amounts of the financial assets as recognized in the balance sheets.

The Company’s major credit risk of trade receivables mainly came from its top 5 customers. Ongoing credit evaluation of the financial condition of the customers is performed.

As of March 31, 2021, trade receivables from top 5 customers represented 62% of total trade receivables. The credit concentration risk of other trade receivables was insignificant.

Credit risk management for investments in debt instruments

The Company’s investments in debt instruments are financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company’s policy allows it only to invest in those with credit ratings equal to or higher than the investment grade and with low credit risk after the impairment assessment. Credit rating information is provided by independent rating institute. The Company continuously tracks external rating information to monitor changes in credit risk of the invested debt instruments, and also examines other information such as the bond yield curve and material information concerning the debtors to assess whether the credit risk of the debt instrument investment has increased significantly after the original recognition.

The Company assesses the 12-month expected credit loss based on the probability of default and loss given default provided by external credit rating agencies. The current credit risk assessment policies and carrying amount of investments in debt instruments for each credit rating are as follows:
