Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Business Report

The Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation demerged the original noodle business and rental business into 2 subsidiaries, Lien Hwa Milling Corporation and Lien Hwa Property Development Corporation in 2019. Besides, MiTAC Inc. and MiTAC Information Technology Corp. were merged. Therefore, the Company transformed and became the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation. The resources within the Group can be allocated effectively. Besides, the operating efficiency of individual companies can be improved and the management effectiveness can be put into good use. Individual business entities can focus on their own fields and therefore the long-term competitiveness and development power of the Group can be improved and strengthened. Although the domestic and international economic growth was not significant due to the trade war between China and the USA in 2019, the Company still had great performance overall on the investment business.

II. Business Plan and Development Strategy in 2020

Covid-19 affects all kinds of industries around the globe, including the manufacturing industry and tourism industry in 2020. Several companies have revised down the estimated profit. Currently, there are many uncertain factors to when the epidemic will slow down and when the industry will recover. Under the circumstances, the Company established the following development strategies in the hope of seizing the opportunity when the epidemic starts to slow.

  1. Strategic alliance for the noodle business

  2. Most of the flour produced by the domestic flour producing companies is sold inside the country. With a limited domestic market, the goal of business growth can only be reached by cooperation and business merger. After the noodle business in Taiwan was demerged into Lien Hwa Milling Corporation, the Company can now have strategic alliance with other companies in the field more easily.

  3. Decrease in the wheat purchase price for the noodle business in China Besides earning for an increase on the quota of imported wheat, the Company cooperated with more local wheat suppliers to acquire first-hand harvest and quality information of the wheat. Moreover, the Company performed a fixed amount purchase based on the analyses of price change in the place of origin and the market supply and demand. Therefore, the Company could acquire domestic wheat with a lower price and increase the use amount of domestic wheat to lower the ingredient cost.

  4. Exercise of food safety regulations Under the SQF, ISO22000, HACCP, TQF and other food safety and quality certifications, the Company performed source management and complied with regulations of the food safety laws. In addition, the Company applied for the Clean Label and reduced the use of food additives to provide the customer with better quality assurance.

  5. Making good use of the land

  6. The Company made good use of the idle land and learned about the local culture as well as the industry development status in the place where the idle land was located. Additionally, the Company cooperated with other enterprises or worked on its own to build the parking lot or logistics center or establish the solar power generation project.

  7. Developmentof the “Cloud-Edge-Endpoint” software/hardware product and service Recently, the technology industry has been focusing on the fields of artificial intelligence, block chain, cloud computing, data technology, edge computing, financial technology and the 5th generation mobile networks. The Company developed the cloud service, Micloud2.0, the edge server, MiAION, and the IoT data exchange platform, MiAIOT and used them to construct the basis for AIoT solutions.

  8. Strengthening the operating profitability of stores With the foundation in the food industry, the Company continued to expand food stores. The Company expanded stores in the good court and adjusted the store features to increase the profitability. In addition, the Company continued to bring more products of the self-owned brand to the market and attracted more franchisees to the business. As a result, we could boost our brand awareness and improve

10

customer approval.

III. Impacts from the External Competitive Environment, Legal Environment and Overall Business Environment

As to the noodle business, the domestic demand is weak and the dietary habits of people inside the country change. The market competition is without a doubt very intense. The Company will seek for all kinds of cooperation opportunities to expand our market share in order to overcome the challenge. With the CRM system, we can acquire customer information immediately. Moreover, the Company utilized the consultative selling approach. We have a variety of flour formulas and the database has been established; therefore, we can provide customers with suitable products.

As for the information technology business, 5G projects are established intensely around the globe. AIoT plus 5G will make the Internet use faster and wider. Besides, there are lots of business opportunities in the AIoT field. But with the impacts of the trade war and the epidemic, a break in the industry chain can happen any time. Thus, the project purchase will be affected undoubtedly. The Company will continue to pay attention to situation and plan for countermeasures in the hope of keeping the damage to a minimum.

Food safety laws and regulations are the matters that food companies must pay attention to. Besides following the existing legislations, the Company designates responsible personnel to follow up the laws and regulations that are being amended. Moreover, a food safety lab with the ISO17025 certification was established to ensure the compliance with rules in the laws and regulations. As a result, customers will have confidence in our products and approve our products.

The Company will be faced with lots of challenges in the overall business environment in 2020. Affected by the extreme weather, wheat prices are constantly experiencing a period of excessive volatility. The Company will maintain a good relationship with the wheat supplier to be aware of harvest information in the place or origin. In addition, the Company will adopt the R&D technology for quality maintenance. This way, the purchase of ingredients for the noodle business will become more flexible. Due to the trade war between China and the USA and the spread of Covid-19, we will experience economic volatility in the next year. The Company will continue to invest and expand the business scale. Meanwhile, we will strengthen our R&D capacity to improve the competitiveness in order to face all kinds of challenges. The Company will integrate resources within the Group and pursue sustainable growth in performance and profitability.

Best

Regards,

Chairman: Matthew Feng-Chiang Miau President: Roger Lin Chief Accounting: Vincent Lee

Auditor’s Report

Board of Directors of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation

Audit opinion

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation (Original name: Lien Hwa Industrial Corporation) and its subsidiaries (LHHC Group) as at 31 December 2018 and 2019, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement, and the notes to consolidated financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies) for periods 1 January to 31 December 2018 and 2019.

In our opinion, all material disclosures of the consolidated financial statements mentioned above were prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, international financial reporting standards approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, the International Accounting Standards and interpretations thereof, and presented a fair view of the consolidated financial position of LHHC Group as at December 31, 2018 and 2019, and consolidated business performance and cash flow for the periods January 1 to December 31, 2018 and 2019.

Basis for the audit opinion

We have conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibility to the standards will be explained in the paragraph of auditor’s responsibilities when auditing the consolidated financial statements. All relevant independent personnel subject to the CPA professional ethics within the firm remain independent from the LHHC Group and implement responsibilities regulated in the ethics. We believe we have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are the most important matters that we audit in the 2019 consolidated financial statements of the LHHC Group based on our professional judgment. All relevant matters were audited during the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the formulation of the audit opinions. We will not express our opinions on those matters separately. The key audit matters that we determine shall be listed on the audit report include:

  • I. Recognition of revenue

Regarding the accounting policies for the recognition of revenue, please see note 4(16) to the Consolidated Financial Statements; for the important accounting estimate and the uncertainty assumed, please see note 6(23) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

13

Description of the key audit matters:

LHHC Group- The main product of the noodle business is flour made from wheat. The product is sold by distributors and chained stores. In addition, the food company will purchase the product to make food and sells it to the consumer. Since the main customers of the Group are distributors, chained stores and food companies, whether LHHC Group gives the sales discount correctly is important to the recognition of revenue of the company. As a result, it is a matter we need to highly focus on when auditing the financial statements. Corresponding audit process:

The audit process we perform for the above key audit matters includes: We lean the reason of the sales discount and evaluate the accounting policies for recognition; We evaluate whether the management performs the recognition of the sales discount pursuant to the existing accounting policies of the Company; We perform sampling inspection to verify relative forms along with vouchers and check the if the calculation is correct.

LHHC Group- It is a business group of integrated system service with the main business including information engineering projects and intelligent projects. The completion percentage is estimated pursuant to the accounting standards and the income of the engineering project is calculated based on that percentage and the total contract price. We have to refer to the internal and external vouchers and certain estimated information to calculate the completion percentage; as a result, the calculation is more complex. The income amount is a major item and, therefore, a matter of high focus during the auditing of the financial statements.

Corresponding audit process:

Our main audit process for the above key audit matters include: We learn and examine whether the design and implementation of the internal control mechanism is effective. The mechanism is related to the correctness of the estimated completion percentage and the project income recognition. In addition, we evaluate whether the use of the accounting policies in the calculation of the completion percentage are consistent. We also perform substantive tests on the project contract details that are not complete at the end of the period. This way, we can ensure the estimated completion percentage and the project income recognition are correct.

II. Inventory Valuation

Regarding the accounting policies for the inventory valuation, please see note 4(8) to the Consolidated Financial Statements; for the description of the inventory valuation, please see note 6(8) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Description of the key audit matters:

LHHC Group- The main product of the noodle business is flour made from wheat. The inventories are measures at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The material is mainly wheat purchased from foreign suppliers to produce flour and other products. The product is sold by distributors and chained stores. In addition, the food company will purchase the product to

14

make food and sells it to the consumer. The product price can be easily impacted by the international exchange rate and the material price fluctuation. Furthermore, the company is faced with the competition of similar products in the same trade. Also, the consumers become more concerned about food safety in recent years. All above factors result in the risk for the price of the company’s product to drop or expire. Therefore, the cost of inventories might exceed the net realizable value, and the allowance for inventory devaluation and obsolescence loss shall be set aside. Subjective major judgment of the management is pertained in the amount set aside; therefore, the matter is a high focus during the financial statements audit. Corresponding audit process:

The audit process we perform for the above key audit matters includes: We lean the accounting policies for setting aside the inventory decrease; evaluate whether the management sets aside the allowance for inventory devaluation and obsolescence loss pursuant to the existing accounting policies of the company; and perform sampling inspection to verify relative forms along with vouchers and check if the calculation is correct. Moreover, we evaluate whether the allowance for inventory devaluation and obsolescence loss set aside is appropriate. We also evaluate whether the management that sets aside the allowance for inventory devaluation and obsolescence loss has disclosed it as appropriate.

Other matters

We hereby express an unqualified opinion in favor of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation on the financial statements of the parent company only so prepared for 2018 and 2019.

The responsibility of the management and the governing body for the consolidated financial statements

The management is responsible for preparing the appropriate consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, international financial reporting standards approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, the International Accounting Standards and interpretations thereof. Additionally, it is responsible for maintaining the internal control mechanism that is related to and necessary for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. As a result, it can ensure material misstatement due to fraud or error is not pertained in the consolidated financial statements.

Other than the situation that the management intends to liquidate LHHC Group or stop the business, or no other approaches can be used except for these two measures, during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the responsibility of the management also includes evaluating the going concern capacity of the LHHC Group, disclosure of relative matters, and adoption of the going concern accounting basis.

The governing body of the LHHC Group (including the Audit Committee) has the responsibility to supervise the financial reporting procedures.

Our responsibility for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

The purpose for us to audit the consolidated financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance

15

that there is no material misstatement due to fraud or error in the consolidated financial statements, and we issue the audit report afterwards. Reasonable assurance means high assurance. Only that the audit work implemented in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards cannot give the promise that every material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements are found. Misstatement might result from fraud or error. If we can reasonably expect the individual amounts or the total amount in the misstatement would influence the financial decision made by the user of the consolidated financial statements, the misstatement is considered material.

When performing the audit according to the generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and remain skeptical professionally. We also perform the following work:

  1. We identify the material misstatement resulting from fraud or error in the consolidated financial statement and assess its risk. We design and implement appropriate corresponding measures for the assessed risk. We acquire sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the audit opinion. Due to the fact that fraud might include collusion, forgery, intended omission, misstatement and violation of internal control, the risk of the misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error.

  2. We acquire necessary understanding of the internal control mechanism that is related to the audit to design appropriate audit process for the situation at the time. The purpose of the knowledge is not expressing opinions to the effectiveness of the internal control mechanism of the LHHC Group.

  3. We evaluate whether the accounting policies adopted by the management are suitable and whether the accounting estimation as well as relative disclosures are appropriate.

  4. Based on the acquired audit evidence, we decide whether the going concern accounting basis adopted by the management is suitable, whether events that might affect the going concern capacity of Lien Hwa exist, and whether there is major uncertainty. A conclusion will be made afterwards. We believe under the circumstances that there is major uncertainty, a reminder shall be included in the audit report to inform the consolidated financial statements user to pay attention to relative disclosures in the statements. We shall modify the audit opinion when the disclosure is considered improper. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence acquired as of the date of the audit report. Future events or circumstances might still result in the fact that LHHC Group no longer has the going concern capacity.

  5. We evaluate the overall statements, structures and contents of the consolidated financial statements (including relative notes) and see whether the statements appropriately state relevant transactions and events.

  6. We examine the financial information of individual companies within the Group to acquire sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for expressing opinions in the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible to guide, supervise and implement the audit for the Company. In addition, we are responsible for the formulation of opinions for the company.

We communicate with the governing body on the scope and time of the audit as well as the

16

significant findings (including significant deficiencies of the internal control mechanism identified during the audit process).

We have issued a declaration of independence to the governing body, which assured that all relevant personnel within the CPA firm had complied with ethical rules of the CPA profession. Besides, we mention the relation or situation that may compromise the CPA’s independence (including relevant preventive measures) to the governing body.

After communicating the above matters with the governing body, we decide the key audit matters in the 2019 consolidated financial report of LHHC Group. We clearly state all above matters in the audit report, unless the law prohibits us to publicly disclose certain matters, or under rare circumstances we decide not to include certain matters in the audit report since we can reasonably expect the resulting negative impact is greater than the public interest they bring.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’report are Linda Chiang and Liu-Fong Yang

Auditor's Report

Board of Directors of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation

Audit opinion

We have audited the balance sheet of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation (Original name: Lien Hwa Industrial Corporation) as at 31 December 2018 and 2019, and the comprehensive income statement, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement, and the notes to parent company only financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies) for periods 1 January to 31 December 2018 and 2019.

In our opinion, all material disclosures of the parent company only financial statements mentioned above were prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, and presented a fair view of the financial position of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation as at December 31, 2018 and 2019, and the business performance and cash flow for the periods January 1 to December 31, 2018 and 2019.

Basis for the audit opinion

We have conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibility to the standards will be explained in the paragraph of auditor’s responsibilities when auditing the parent company only financial statements. All relevant independent personnel subject to the CPA professional ethics within the firm remain independent from the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation and implement responsibilities regulated in the ethics. We believe we have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are the most important matters that we audit in the 2019 parent company only financial statements of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation based on our professional judgment. All relevant matters were audited during the audit of the parent company only financial statements and the formulation of the audit opinions. We will not express our opinions on those matters separately. The key audit matters that we determine shall be listed on the audit report include:

I. Recognition of revenue

Regarding the accounting policies for the recognition of the sales discount, please see note 4(15) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; for the accounting estimates for the recognition of the sales discount and the uncertainty assumed, please see note 5(1) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; for the contents of the revenue, please see note 6(20) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.

23

Description of the key audit matters:

Before the demerger and transformation of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation, the main product is flour made from wheat. The product is sold by distributors and chained stores. In addition, the food company will purchase the product to make food and sells it to the consumer. Since the main customers of the Company are distributors, chained stores and food companies, whether Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation gives the sales discount correctly is important to the recognition of revenue of the company. As a result, it is a matter we need to highly focus on when auditing the financial statements.

Corresponding audit process:

The audit process we perform for the above key audit matters includes: We lean the reason of the sales discount and evaluate the accounting policies for recognition; We evaluate whether the management performs the recognition of the sales discount pursuant to the existing accounting policies of the Company; We perform sampling inspection to verify relative forms along with vouchers and check the if the calculation is correct.

  • II. Assessment of investment under equity method

Regarding the accounting policies for the investment assessment under equity method, please see note 4(8) and (9) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; for the shareholding in the profit of the affiliated companies and joint ventures under the equity method, please see see note 6(6) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. Description of the key audit matters:

After the demerger and transformation of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation, the main business became general investment. The recognized investment amount under equity method totaled NTD27,507,438 thousand, occupying 82% of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation’s total assets. Therefore, the investment under equity method is listed as a matter we need to highly focus on when auditing.

Corresponding audit process:

The audit process we perform for the above key audit matters includes: provide audit instructions to and communicate with the audit staff of other component entities; acquire the financial statements of the component entities, perform a check calculation for the correctness of the recognized investment amount under equity method and attributable period and assess whether the management has properly discoursed the investment under equity method.

The responsibility of the management and the governing body for the parent company only financial statements

The management is responsible for preparing the appropriate parent company only financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms. Additionally, it is responsible for maintaining the internal control mechanism that is related to and necessary for the preparation of the parent company only financial statements. As a result, it can ensure material misstatement due to fraud or error is not pertained in the parent company only

24

financial statements.

Other than the situation that the management intends to liquidate Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation or stop the business, or no other approaches can be used except for these two measures, during the preparation of the parent company only financial statements, the responsibility of the management also includes evaluating the going concern capacity of the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation, disclosure of relative matters, and adoption of the going concern accounting basis.

The governing body of the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation (including the Audit Committee) has the responsibility to supervise the financial reporting procedures.

25

Our responsibility for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

The purpose for us to audit the parent company only financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance that there is no material misstatement due to fraud or error in the parent company only financial statements, and we issue the audit report afterwards. Reasonable assurance means high assurance. Only that the audit work implemented in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards cannot give the promise that every material misstatement in the parent company only financial statements are found. Misstatement might result from fraud or error. If we can reasonably expect the individual amounts or the total amount in the misstatement would influence the financial decision made by the user of the parent company only financial statements, the misstatement is considered material.

When performing the audit according to the generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and remain skeptical professionally. We also perform the following work:

  1. We identify the material misstatement resulting from fraud or error in the parent company only financial statement and assess its risk. We design and implement appropriate corresponding measures for the assessed risk. We acquire sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the audit opinion. Due to the fact that fraud might include collusion, forgery, intended omission, misstatement and violation of internal control, the risk of the misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error.

  2. We acquire necessary understanding of the internal control mechanism that is related to the audit to design appropriate audit process for the situation at the time. The purpose of the knowledge is not expressing opinions to the effectiveness of the internal control mechanism of the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation.

  3. We evaluate whether the accounting policies adopted by the management are suitable and whether the accounting estimation as well as relative disclosures are appropriate.

  4. Based on the acquired audit evidence, we decide whether the going concern accounting basis adopted by the management is suitable, whether events that might affect the going concern capacity of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation exist, and whether there is major uncertainty. A conclusion will be made afterwards. We believe under the circumstances that there is major uncertainty, a reminder shall be included in the audit report to inform the parent company only financial statements user to pay attention to relative disclosures in the statements. We shall modify the audit opinion when the disclosure is considered improper. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence acquired as of the date of the audit report. Future events or circumstances might still result in the fact that Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation no longer has the going concern capacity.

  5. We evaluate the overall statements, structures and contents of the parent company only financial statements (including relative notes) and see whether the statements appropriately state relevant transactions and events.

  6. We examine the financial information of invested company under the equity method to acquire

26

sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for expressing opinions in the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible to guide, supervise and implement the audit. In addition, we are responsible for the formulation of opinions for Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation. We communicate with the governing body on the scope and time of the audit as well as the significant findings (including significant deficiencies of the internal control mechanism identified during the audit process).

We have issued a declaration of independence to the governing body, which assured that all relevant personnel within the CPA firm had complied with ethical rules of the CPA profession. Besides, we mention the relation or situation that may compromise the CPA's independence (including relevant preventive measures) to the governing body.

27

After communicating the above matters with the governing body, we decide the key audit matters in the 2019 parent company only financial report of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation. We clearly state all above matters in the audit report, unless the law prohibits us to publicly disclose certain matters, or under rare circumstances we decide not to include certain matters in the audit report since we can reasonably expect the resulting negative impact is greater than the public interest they bring.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’report are Linda Chiang and Liu-Fong Yang
