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.

- 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.

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:
-

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

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable, other financial assets, financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at FVTOCI, trade and other payables. The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The board of directors is solely responsible for establishing and monitoring the framework of risk management of the Group. The chairman is authorized by the board of directors to develop and monitor the risk management policy of the Group with the operation center of the Group, and regularly reported the situation to the board of directors.
The Group’s financial risk management policies are established for identifying and analyzing the financial risks to the Group, evaluating the impacts of the financial risks, and conducting the financial-risk aversion policies. The financial risk management policies are periodically reviewed to reflect changes in the market and the operations. The Group devotes to build a disciplined and constructive control environment through proper internal controls, such as training and establishing managerial principles and operation procedures in order to have all employees aware of their own roles and responsibilities.
The Group’s management oversees the Group operates in compliance with financial risk management policies and reviews the appropriateness of risk management structure under supervision of the board of directors. Internal auditors, in assistance to the board of directors, perform periodical and exceptional reviews on the controls and procedures of financial risk management and report the results of review to the board of directors.
1) Market risk
The major financial risks from the Group’s operations were foreign currency exchange risk (referred to a) and interest rate risk (referred to b).
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
a) Foreign currency risk
The carrying amounts of the Group’s monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the end of the reporting period are shown in Note 30.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar. The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. 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.
| Profit or loss/ equity |
USD Impact | USD Impact | USD Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| For the Three Months Ended March 31 |
|||
| 2021 $ 61,724(i) |
2020 $ (18,831)(i) |
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:
| Fair value interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk Financial assets |
March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 $ 2,954,762 $ 1,975,397 $ 566,848 $ 523,648 $ 3,796,191 $ 3,777,910 |
March 31, 2020 $ 2,805,507 $- $ 2,198,323 |
|---|---|---|
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.
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
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:
| Category Performing Category Performing |
Description Basis for Recognizing Expected Credit Loss The debtor with low credit risk and fully capable of paying off contractual cash flows 12 months expected credit loss Description Basis for Recognizing Expected Credit Loss The debtor with low credit risk and fully capable of paying off contractual cash flows 12 months expected credit loss |
