2018 Business Report

Dear Shareholders,

The consolidated revenue of HIWIN Technologies Corporation was 29.33 billion NTD in 2018, with an annual growth of 38.6%, which is once again the record high in history. This number is far better than the 6.5% of the domestic overall manufacturing industry. The economy has been steadily growing in first half of 2018. Industries, such as automation, semiconductors, panel displays, smartphones, automobiles, and new energies are vigorously expanding, and global demand of key components is getting short of demand. HIWIN’s strategy is continuously increasing productivity domestically and overseas, and optimizing manufacturing process efficiency. By this way, HIWIN has made itself an important partner with well-known automotive brand, semiconductor equipment manufacturers and various essential industries during the critial moment of severe global market shortage, which showing the results of the continuous cultivation.

Multiple important achievements have been made in various markets in 2018. It is the 25th anniversary of Hiwin Germany, and its annual revenue reached a billion euros for the first time ever. Hiwin Germany also expands its business cooperation with the world’s most famous pneumatic component manufacturer. HIWIN has also surpassed various well-known competitors in the conservative Japan market, and even successfully came to the aid of multiple well-known Japanese semiconductor equipment manufacturers during the period of material shortage. This leads Hiwin to become the second largest linear motion and system technology supplier in Japan. After the completion of Hiwin China’s Phase 1 factory, the production capacity has largely increased, and can rapidly supply product in China market. Hiwin China also built up system integration team, and this is getting prepared for the demands of China's transformation to smart manufacturing. Because of the manufacturing industry return back to the United States, Hiwin USA will have better performance in 2019.

In order to meet the rapidly growing demands of smart manufacturing and automation, HIWIN is aggressively expanding its global manufacturing and

14

R&D foundation. Hiwin has increased the production capacity because Yunlin Science Park Plant and new Dapumei Plant have completed recently. Hiwin Japan and Luren Precision Ltd. Co. have purchased lands in Kobe and in Fongshan Industrial Area in Hsinchu County. Production capacity and service capability can be increased. Hiwin Italy and Hiwin Korea are continuously evaluating the new factory expansion in order to lay a solid foundation for HIWIN to become the global leading brand.

HIWIN has continuously received domestic and international recognition in R&D innovation and corporate operation performance. The Datoker robot reducer AKA the heart of robot, HIWIN is the third company in the world who can meet international standards for this product. The i4.0BS ballscrew demonstrates the functions of smart monitoring and life expectancy, and was awarded the 2018 Enterprise Asia International Innovation Award. HIWIN has received the Gold and Silver Medal of the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ Taiwan Excellence Awards consecutively for the past 19 years, gained the recognition of top 5% ranking in TWSE’s evaluation of listed companies consecutively for the past 3 years; awarded 5 honors including the “Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards- Top 50 Performance” by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy and the “Outstanding Sustainability Award” by the British Standards Institution; selected for the “Common Wealth Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibilities Award”

consecutively for the past 12 years from 2007 to 2018. These accolades are of many achievements from the long term efforts on R&D and operations made by the HIWIN team.

HIWIN’s contribution to CSR continues to be education criteria. Hiwin has held the “HIWIN Thesis Award” and the “HIWIN Doctoral Award”, inciting vigorous participation from students and professors who have mechanical major background from Taiwan and China. This will cultivate future excellent mechanical talents. HIWIN is leading and promoting the “Automation Engineers Certificate” and “Robotics Engineers Certificate”. These two certificates will increase professional level of smart automation field in Taiwan. The “JIMTOF” show learning trip for university students has inspired young innovative minds for precision machinery. The “HIWIN robot competition” provided the best platform for young students with a passion for robotics to express their

15

creativity. The “Greater Taichung lychee value-added preservation technique” has collectively promoted by HIWIN, NCHU, and the farmers’ association. This has successfully promoted to the Japan market, and has made an effort to Taiwanese agriculture industry.

Looking on 2019, due to the trade war between China and the U.S., recession of the European economy, the growing power of China has slowed down, the IMF predicts the global economic growth to be only 3.5%. This is the lowest number in the past three years. Although we are facing challenges from harsh environments, the demand of smart manufacturing and automation continues to be strong, and this is a crucial moment for the global manufacturing industry’s transformation. This year will be full of challenges and opportunities for HIWIN. HIWIN expects to become the pioneer in smart manufacturing, providing total solution for system integration, satisfying smart manufacturing demands of global clients, accompanying clients to a future of industrial upgrade. We are expecting all the shareholders, government institutions, bank groups to continue to offer support and advice in a year full of uncertainty. All staff of HIWIN will do our best in order to reach the next milestone for HIWIN’S 30-year-anniversary and sales turnover exceeding a billion US dollar.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Hiwin Technologies Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Hiwin Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the 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 Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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.

Key audit matters of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows:

18

Revenue recognition

The sales of the Group mainly rely on distribution channels. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the Group satisfied the performance obligations. There is a risk that revenue might be recognized even when specific conditions have not been satisfied. Because of the risk of misstatement and materiality of sales revenue generated by distribution channels, we identified sales revenue as a key audit matter. The accounting policy on sales revenue recognition is disclosed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of revenue recognition included the following:

  1. We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of related internal controls over the acceptance of order and shipping procedures; we selected sample sales transactions of distribution channels and verified that the receiving of the order and the timing of the revenue recognition were in accordance with the terms of transaction.

  2. We validated the terms of transactions against sales contracts and orders with major distributors to ensure that the terms of transaction and the timing of the revenue recognition are in accordance; we tested the records of sales returns against source documents and we checked whether there was any unusual item during the year and after the balance sheet date .

Valuation and impairment assessment of inventory

As of December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of inventory was $8,933,731 thousand. Such carrying amount of inventory is the lower of cost or net realizable value which is determined subject to the management’s judgment and estimation uncertainty. Therefore, valuation and impairment assessment of inventory is identified as a key audit matter. The accounting policy on the valuation and impairment assessment of inventory and the details of inventory are disclosed in Notes 4, 5 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the valuation and impairment assessment included the following:

  1. We understood the related internal control and procedures on the valuation of inventory and assessed that valuation including impairment assessment conforms to the approved procedures.

  2. We assessed the reasonableness of provision for impairment of inventory by reference to aging of inventories and the level of inventory consumed and sold during the year.

  3. We tested the net realizable value of sample inventory items against the selling price and we checked the completeness and accuracy of the information of net realizable value.

  4. We compared the actual sales amount of the sample inventory items with the book value to ascertain that the carrying value of the inventory does not exceed the net

19

realizable value.

  1. We evaluated the adequacy of provision for obsolete and damaged stock based on the condition of inventory during our observation of inventory counts.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Hiwin Technologies Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on which we have issued an unmodified report.

20

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the 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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 the 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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.

  2. 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 Group’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

21

  1. 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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  2. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  3. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group 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 the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsiao-Fang Yen and Done-Yuin Tseng.
