Regarding product category, due to the continuous downturn of notebook computer market, the popularity degree of the new operation platform was not as expected, the annual revenue decreased by 25.28%; driven by the continuous fermentation of cloud computing market issues, the revenue performance in server products has been relatively stable, with the annual revenue in 2015 increasing by 24.05%. With regard to wireless devices and mobile communication products, thanks to customer product hot sales and the expansion of production capacity, the operation income contributed approximately NTD46.9 billion of revenue, and the annual revenue performance increased by 0.29%.

This year’s business plan summary and future development strategies:

When pursuing an enterprise’s sustainable operation and creating enterprise value, Inventec also fulfills its corporate citizenship responsibility. Through Inventec Group Charity Foundation, it has gathered the Group’s caring volunteers to actively promote relevant volunteer businesses such as social care, emergency relief, environmental protection, culture promotion, etc. over the long term in order to practice the social service philosophy of Inventec Group, namely environmental protection, culture, poverty relief, and community. In the past year, whether in the Formosa dust explosion incident or Taiwan earthquake, you can always witness the social responsibility spirit of Inventec Group in treating others as ourselves and loving others as ourselves and assisting disaster stricken populations to live through hard times.
Looking toward 2016, Inventec will continue to adhere to the operation philosophy of “Innovation, Quality, Open mind and Execution”, in addition to caring for its existing customers, Inventec will continuously improve its management performance to consolidate its long-term
14

Appendix 3- Independent Auditors’ Report and Individual Financial Statements for Year 2015
Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors of Inventec Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Inventec Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2015, and 2014, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain investees accounted for under the equity method, in which the Company's long term equity investments amounted to $22,083,104 thousand, representing 14.41% of total assets as of December 31, 2014, and related investment income was $976,579 thousand, representing 11.14% of net income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2014. The financial statements of these investees accounted for under the equity method were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts for these companies, were based solely on the reports of other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with "Regulation Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants" and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those regulations and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the non consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidences supporting the amounts and disclosures in the non consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall non consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports issued by other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inventec Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group's management. Our responsibility is to express an audit report based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries with the total assets of $72,686,249 thousand, representing 37% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2014; and the net sales of $82,918,862 thousand, representing 19% of the consolidated net sales for the years ended December 31, 2014. Also, we did not audit the long-term investments of other companies which amounted to $(542,888) thousand, representing (0.28)% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2014; and the related investment income of $44,090 thousand, representing 0.45% of the consolidated net income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2014. The financial statements of these subsidiaries and investees accounted for under the equity method were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts for these companies, were based solely on the reports of other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the "Regulation Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants" and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those regulations and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Consolidated Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
