Explanation:
Kinpo Electronics, Inc. 2020 Business Report
Dear shareholders:
2020 is a very challenging year for Kinpo. Externally, there will be COVID-19 catastrophe, the international political and economic situation is turbulent ; and internally ,there will be the transformation of the company’s leadership team. With the efforts of the team, we have overcome various changes and challenges, maintained the normal development of operations, and lay a solid foundation for sustainable development.
According to the latest "Global Economic Outlook" issued by the United Nations, the COVID-19 crisis has caused a 4.3% recession of global gross production (GDP) in 2020, which is more serious than the 1.7% decline during the financial turmoil in 2009, creating the lowest since the Great Depression in 1929. Thanks to the efforts of our team, our combined revenue in 2020 will be NT$128.219 billion, a slight decline from the NT$137.55 billion in 2019.
In the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought a huge test to the world economy, but we firmly believe that : it was the worst of times, It was the best of times. It depends on how we respond. Therefore, the factories are deployed ahead of schedule, strict and comprehensive pandemic prevention measures, under the premise of ensuring the safety of employees, maintain the normal operation of the factory, meeting the trend of working from home, increasing the demand for printers and storage equipment , and driving the growth of operations. In addition there are continuous research, development and innovation, with excellent patent approval rate, it stood out from 14,000 institutions and selected as one of the world’s top 100 innovative institutions by the international professional information service provider Clarivate Analytics. At the same time, with a macro vision, we continued to build the existing global layout and expand the production capacity of each plant, turn advantages into competitiveness, and enter new areas to increase growth momentum.
Looking forward to 2021, in the post-epidemic era, although there are still uncertain factors, such as the new situation between China and the United States after Biden, the establishment of RCEP, Brexit, but the global supply chain restructuring has become a trend, and we will integrate the group resources, fully cooperate and support, to maximize synergy.
In addition, in terms of company operations, " creating new sources of income " and " reducing expenditure" will be adopted in parallel. In terms of open source, we will adopt strategies to develop new products, open up new markets, and strive to increase orders, and market share; in terms of reducing expenditure, we will use asset activation, systemization,
- 3 -
and data management and control... etc., to increase overall profit, and give back to employees and shareholders.
After forty-eight years, Kinpo is not only the leader of consumer electronics manufacturer, but also the largest electronics manufacturing foundry in Southeast Asia. It plays the key role in the global technology industry, in the post-epidemic era, we will continue to uphold the concept of "innovation, harmony and transcendence", use the solid foundation accumulated in the past, seize the opportunities of changes in the international situation, show confidence, continue to create value, growth, and excellence . Thank you for support over the years.
We wish you health and success in every way.

Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese
Report of Independent Auditors
To: Kinpo Electronics, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Kinpo Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and notes to the parent company only financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to “the parent company only finacial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors section of our report), the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 for the year of 2020 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
- 6 -
a separate opinion on these matters. Timing of Revenue Recognition
The Company recognized operating revenue in the amount of NTD 4,147,220 thousand in 2020. The main source of revenue was from the production and sales of a variety of consumer electronic products, which were not manufactured until orders were received. As the Company had a large number of customers and products were sold to domestic and international markets involving a various commercial terms, the correctness of revenue recognition timing by transferring commodity control on merchandise to customers was material to the parent company only financial statements, we therefore considered this key audit matter.
For the revenue recognition, we have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls with respect to the revenue cycle; selecting representative samples to conduct test of details by inspecting transaction record and verifying the key conditions of the orders or agreements to confirm the timing when a performance obligation is satisfied, and conducting cutoff test on transactions recognized within a certain period of time before and after the balance sheet date by selecting samples to review the conditions of transactions and vouch relevant transaction documents as evidence to confirm that a performance obligation is satisfied. We also considered the appropriateness of operating revenue disclosure in Note 6 of parent company only financial statements.
Valuation of Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method
As of December 31, 2020, the investment accounted for using equity method amounted to NTD 23,133,120 thousand, contistuting 72% of the parent company only total assets, which is deemed significant to the parent company only financial statements. We reviewed whether the Company has control over its investees. For those investees that the Company has control over, we then reviewed if the investee had been deemed as a consolidated entity. For the long-term equity investments that the Company makes significant impact on such investees, we reviewed if the investment was accounted for using equity method. The appropriateness of the accounting treatment mentioned above had significant impact to the parent company only financial statements. Therefore, we considered this a key audit matter.
We have conduct audit procedures including but not limited to obtaining the most recent investment structure chart of the Company and reviewing relevant changes; understanding the appropriateness of recognition basis and classification of investments accounted for using equity method; assessing the ownership of the Company to each re-investment; analyzing the composition of the board of directors, management and shareholders and the power of shareholders to direct the relevant activity to confirm whether the investments of the Company were accounted for according to IFRS; verifying whether the Company had obtained audited financial statements when recognizing share of profit (loss) and share of other comprehensive income using equity method. In addition to understanding the impact the investees’ significant events made on the Company’s individual financial statements, we
- 7 -
further evaluated whether the measurement of the investment accounted for using equity method complied with IFRS and IAS.
Meanwhile, we verified the existence and ownership of the investment by confirmation or physical count procedures. We also considered the investments accounted for using equity method appropriateness of the disclosure in respect of Note 6 of the parent company only financial statement.
Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method whose statements are based solely on the reports of other auditors. These investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NTD 5,566,274 thousand and NTD 5,488,516 thousand, representing 17% and 17% of the parent company only total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The related share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NTD 319,123 thousand and NTD 141,387 thousand, representing 109% and 23% of the net profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the related share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NTD (104,361) thousand and NTD 2,794 thousand, representing 63% and (1)% of the other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee or supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material
- 8 -
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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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.
-
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 internal control of the Company.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only 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
- 9 -
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 2020 the parent company only financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 consolidated financial statements. 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.
Timing of Revenue Recognition
The Company and its subsidiaries recognized operating revenue in the amount of NTD 128,219,874 thousand in 2020. The main source of revenue was from the production and sales of a variety of consumer electronic products, which were not manufactured until orders were received. As the Company and its subsidiaries had a large number of customers and products were sold to domestic and international markets involving a various commercial terms, the correctness of revenue recognition timing by transferring commodity control on merchandise to customers was material to the consolidated financial statements, we therefore considered this key audit matter.
For the revenue recognition, we have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls with respect to the revenue cycle; selecting representative samples to conduct test of details by inspecting transaction record and verifying the key conditions of the orders or agreements to confirm the timing when a performance obligation is satisfied, and conducting cutoff test on transactions recognized within a certain period of time before and after the balance sheet date by selecting samples to review the conditions of transactions and vouch relevant transaction documents as evidence to confirm that a performance obligation is satisfied. We also considered the appropriateness of operating revenue disclosure in Note 6 of consolidated financial statements.
Business Combination
According to IFRS 10, regardless of the nature of the investment, it is necessary for the investor to re-assess whether or not it controls an investee when deciding whether the investor is the parent company. Since the Company and its subsidiaries holds less than 50% of the shares of some consolidated entities, whether the Company has control over the consolidated entities would directly affect the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we considered this a
- 12 -
key audit matter.
We have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to obtaining the Company and its subsidiaries’ latest organizational chart of the affiliates and reviewing relevant changes. In addition, we reviewed the overall shareholding percentage of each consolidated entity and analyzed the composition of the board of directors and management, the holding percentages of the top ten shareholders, the level of ownership dispersion, attendance rate in shareholders’ meetings, and the power of the shareholders to direct the relevant activities to confirm the Company’s evaluation of the control over its consolidated entities. We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure in respect of business combination in Notes 4 and 5 of the consolidated financial statement.
Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets of NTD 8,415,570 thousand and NTD 8,549,907 thousand, constituting 8% and 9% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and total operating revenues of NTD 4,661,549 thousand and NTD 5,404,469 thousand, constituting 4% and 4% of consolidated operating revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors. We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method whose statements are based solely on the reports of other auditors. These investments accounted for using equity method to NTD 3,646,802 thousand and NTD 3,550,861 thousand, constituting 4% and 4% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The related shares of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NTD 363,771 thousand and NTD 426,869 thousand, constituting 53% and 54% of the consolidated net profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NTD (124,510) thousand and NTD 43,337 thousand, constituting 23% and (6)% of the consolidated other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the
