2017 Business Report
1. 2017 Business Report
GDP in 2017 grew by 3.8% as market changed dramatically. Among them, semi-conductor market, which is the most related with the Group, grew by 22.2% while the growth rate of memory was 64%, accounted for as the important portion, 31%, among the semi-conductor products. However, semi-conductor memory market growth does not trigger the growth of packaging and substrate industries as the growth of memory eventually is driven by the rapid growing of 3D multi-layer memory chip. The growth trend of substrates used in high-end packaging, such as AP for telecom devise, CPU for server, and FPGA for automation and base station, seems relatively weak.
It is possible that many factors, such as the rising US interest rate in 2017, blockchain revolution, uncertain schedule of Fed’s reduction of its balance sheet, reducing monetary easing policy by major economies, US tax reduction policy, and the intense geopolitics situation in Asia, would influence global economy movement trend in near future.
Fortunately the most important momentum for electronic products and semi-conductors, i.e. AI+IoT=AIoT, is continuously developing and rapidly expanded. It is expected that AIoT will drive significantly the demand of semi-conductors and electronics.
The Company’s revenue in parent-company-only basis totaled to NT$16,286,034 thousand in 2017, decreased by 9.18% compared to NT$17,931,850 thousand in 2016. Net income in parentcompany-only basis was NT$491,676 thousand in 2017, decreased by 77.99% compared to NT$2,233,705 thousand in 2016. The Company’s consolidated revenue totaled to NT$22,335,486 thousand in 2017, decreased by 3.58% compared to NT$23,165,066 thousand in 2016. The consolidated net income was NT$335,322 thousand in 2017, decreased by 83.82% compared to NT$2,073,028 thousand in 2016. Main reasons for the reduction in profit are the production learning curve and huge startup expenditures of new HsinFong Factory. The delayed product release schedule and slower production learning curve contributes to the reduction in gross margin rate while the capital expenditures and related startup expenditures increased the operational expenses ratio. It can be expected that the two negative factors will impact less in 2018.

- Summary of 2018 business plan:
(1)Business Policy
Since the Company’s establishment, we have been upholding the principle of “Satisfying Customers and Pursuing for Excellence” as our business policy, developing leadership in technique to meet market demand, mastering new generation product demands, investing engineering resources to stay ahead, and striving for better profit to benefit our shareholders under the intense competition.
The Company has adjusted its product mix toward diversification to respond to the slowing IC substrate industry and stopping high-end semiconductors process market. In order to keep a growing trend and momentum for profitability, the Company has invested more resources on SiP module, server/CPU, memory and soft board module.
17
(2)2018 Expected Sales and Its Sources
For 2018, overall GDP will grow by 4.1%, which is better than 2017’s, according to a global survey. Semiconductor market will accordingly grow better than 2017 at 24%. Among them, the bigger portion of the growth are components related to AI, including server CPU, Imager processor GPU, senor control chip, memory, etc. The opportunity from application of automobile electronics, including assisted autopilot ADAS, automatic driving environment sensor, automatic driving learning algorithm processor, etc., will continuously grow but subordinated to AI’s.
Another opportunity is 5G telecom, which is one of the important interfaces to speed up IoT/AI, i.e. AIoT, ending applications. By providing huge amount of bandwidth, 5G telecommunication platform enables the transfer of huge amount of information and automation, information mining/analysis in an inexpensive way. Neural network constructed in AI application therefore can be implemented and influence and change human life in every aspect. However, 5G telecom can’t contribute to 2018 business performance since it is unable to turn into business until the end of 2018 while we will focus on related technique supports, control clients’ product developing status and preliminary layout efforts, which would be the success factors of subsequent growth.
(3)Significant Production and Marketing Policy
-
A. We will continuously invest research and development resources to support the diversified needs of consuming products and expand micro fine circuit manufacturing process production line. Also we will invest to meet the need of Fab 10 nm product process in order to obtain the market opportunities.
-
B. As the expanding scale in operation, we will continuously recruit the professional talent, import high quality systems and technology, and invest in automated production equipment to improve production yields in order to achieve the Company’s high-profit target.
-
C. The Company should try its best to catch the business opportunity of processor and memory.
3. Company development strategy
We will aim at application of slim substrates of ABF-FCBGA and memory and the techniques and products of SiP module and SLP module in short-term, keeping up with the elemental global semiconductor developing trend of continuously miniature line width, aperture, and thickness in medium term, and developing complicated structural technique of active/passive components and direct wafer bonding in long term. By these development strategies, we are confident that the Company will definitely sustain our competitiveness in product market as well as in the technique.

Attachment III
English Translation of an Audit Report Originally Issued in Chinese INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To: the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent-company-only balance sheets of Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related parentcompany-only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent-company-only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together referred as “the parent-company-only financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on the results of our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to the - Other Matter Making Reference to the Audit of a Component Auditor section of our report), the parent-company-only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the parent-company-only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and their parent-company-only financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 Parent-Company-Only 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. 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 the most significance in our audit of parent-company-only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. 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 a separate opinion on these matters.

Revenue Recognition
We determine that revenue recognition is one of the key audit matters. The Company’s revenue amounting to NT$16,286,034 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2017 is a significant account to the Company’s financial statements. The Company has conducted these sale activities in multimarketplace, including Taiwan, China, USA, etc. Among these locations, it has established hubwarehouse for certain foreign customers’ convenience. Furthermore, variety of sale terms and conditions enacted in its main sale contracts or sale orders contributed to the complexity for the Company to decide the appropriate timing of transfer the risk of ownership and return of goods to the buyers. We therefore conclude that there are significant risks with respect to the topic of revenue recognition.
Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, evaluating the properness of accounting policy for revenue recognition, assessing and testing the effectiveness of relevant internal controls related to revenue recognition, particularly those controls for shipment to or from foreign warehouses, obtaining major sale orders or agreements to inspect the terms and conditions, checking the consistency of the accounting for revenue recognition with sale agreement or orders, performing analytical review procedures on monthly sale revenues, and executing sale cut-off tests, etc.
We have also evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosure in Note 6 to the financial statements.
Market valuation on Inventory
We determined the market valuation on inventory one of key audit matters in considering that the amount of inventory was significant and the assessment of sufficiency of inventory loss requires significant management judgement. The Company’s net inventory amounted to NT$1,255,598 thousand as of December 31, 2017. As the application market of substract, the Company’s main products, is characterized by rapid development in technology and the trend of consumers’ preference, management, in timely considering the status of new products development and the demand from clients, has to evaluate the loss due to market value decline as well as write-down on slow-moving inventories to their net realizable value. Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, evaluating the Company’s policy with respect to assessment the loss from slow-moving inventory and phased-out items, (including identification method, testing the accuracy of inventory aging schedule, analysis on inventory movement), performing observation on the Company’s inventory physical-taking, and inspecting the current status of inventory usage, etc. We also assessed the adequacy of the inventory-related disclosures shown in the Note 5 and 6 to the parent-company-only financial statements.

Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audit of a Component Auditor
We did not audit the financial statements of FuYang Technology Corp., an indirectly invested associate accounted for under the equity method by the Company. The financial statements of FuYang Technology Corp. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and for the years then ended were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us. Our audit, insofar as it related to the investment in the associate accounted for under the equity method amounting to NT$823,380 thousand and NT$432,689 thousand as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 representing 2.28% and 1.22% of the Company’s total assets, the related shares of income before tax from the associate under the equity method for the year then ended amounting to NT$(77,880) thousand and NT$(12,783) thousand representing (12.62)% and (0.49)% of the Company’s income before tax, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associate under the equity method for the years then ended amounting to NT$(19,180) thousand and NT$(4,528) thousand representing 25.22% and 2.31% of the other comprehensive income, are based solely on the audit reports of other auditors.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent-CompanyOnly 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 parent-company-only 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, 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 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 parentcompany-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 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
23
English Translation of an Audit Report Originally Issued in Chinese
-
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 company 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 2017 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.

English Translation of Financial Statements and a Report Originally Issued in Chinese INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To: the Board of Directors and Shareholders Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together referred as “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditor (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audit of a Component Auditor section of our report), the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity 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 International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by 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 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. 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 2017 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.

English Translation of Financial Statements and a Report Originally Issued in Chinese
Revenue Recognition
We determine that revenue recognition is one of the key audit matters. The Company’s consolidated revenue amounting to NT$22,335,486 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2017 is a significant account to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has conducted these sale activities in multi-marketplace, including Taiwan, China, USA, etc. Among these locations, the Company has established hub-warehouse for certain foreign customers’ convenience. Furthermore, variety of sale terms and conditions enacted in the main sale contracts or sale orders contributed to the complexity for the Company to decide the appropriate timing of transfer the risk of ownership and return of goods to the buyers. We therefore conclude that there are significant risks with respect to the topic of revenue recognition. Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, evaluating the properness of accounting policy for revenue recognition, assessing and testing the effectiveness of relevant internal controls related to revenue recognition, particularly those controls for shipment to or from foreign warehouses, obtaining major sale orders or agreements to inspect the terms and conditions, checking the consistency of the accounting for revenue recognition with sale agreement or orders, performing analytical review procedures on monthly sale revenues, and executing sale cutoff tests, etc. We have also evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosure in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.
Market valuation on Inventory
We determined the market valuation on inventory one of key audit matters in considering that the amount of inventory was significant and the assessment of sufficiency of inventory loss requires significant management judgement. The Company’s net inventory amounted to NT$2,127,714 thousand as of December 31, 2017. As the application market of substract, the Company’s main products, is characterized by rapid development in technology and the trend of consumers’ preference, management, in timely considering the status of new products development and the demand from clients, has to evaluate the loss due to market value decline as well as write-down on slow-moving inventories to their net realizable value. Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, evaluating the Company’s policy with respect to assessment the loss from slow-moving inventory and phased-out items, (including identification method, testing the accuracy of inventory aging schedule, analysis on inventory movement), perfroming observation on the Company’s inventory physical-taking, and inspecting the current status of inventory usage, etc. We also assessed the adequacy of the inventory-related disclosures shown in the Note 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements.
32
English Translation of Financial Statements and a Report Originally Issued in Chinese
Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audit of a Component Auditor
We did not audit the financial statements of FuYang Technology Corp., an invested associate accounted for under the equity method. The financial statements of FuYang Technology Corp. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the years then ended were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us. Our audit, insofar as it related to the investment in the associate accounted for under the equity method amounting to NT$823,380 thousand and NT$432,689 thousand as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 representing 1.95% and 1.05% of the Company’s consolidated total assets, the related shares of income before tax from the associate under the equity method for the years then ended amounting to NT$(77,880) thousand and NT$(12,783) thousand representing (14.72)% and (0.50)% of the Company’s consolidated income before tax, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associate under the equity method for the years then ended amounting to NT$(19,180) thousand and NT$(4,528) thousand representing 17.37% and 1.38% of the consolidated other comprehensive income, are based solely on the audit reports of other auditors.
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 International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by 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 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.
33

Auditor’s 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 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 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 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 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.
-
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 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
34
English Translation of Financial Statements and a Report Originally Issued in Chinese
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated 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 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 2017 consolidated 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.
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent-company-only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years then ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
