Letter to Shareholders
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Looking back at 2012, we have witnessed great instability in the global socio-economic environment and a huge decline in market demand due to the debt crisis in Europe and the United States which subsequently slowed down the economic growth in Asia. Against all odds, Lite-On managed to continue its stellar operating performance achieving global consolidated revenue of NT$216.05 billion with a net operating profit of NT$10.89 billion (NT$7.53 billion after tax). This represents a 4% growth from last year. The annual earnings per share (EPS) reached NT$3.33, the equivalent of a 3% growth. At the same time, Lite-On has held firm onto its No.1 position on the Top 1,000 Taiwanese Manufacturers list in CommonWealth Magazine for the fourth consecutive year, a clear indication of Lite-On’s core competitiveness and our leading position in the global market.
� Operating Performance
Global demand for personal computers (PC) slowed down in 2012 leading to Lite-On’s rapid shift in its product portfolio strategy towards cloud-computing products including high-end servers, data centers, networking and mobile devices. With the steady increase in demand in the global market, we have not only achieved outstanding results in overall revenue but also saw steady increases in net profit and operating growth.
Among all core business groups, apart from the Power Supply business group that has shown continuous growth in power supplies for servers, data centers and networking, the steady growth in smart-phone and tablet PC markets also brought about the increase in demand for high-end camera modules and the expansion of the market share in the keyboard business. This growth momentum contributed to the 30% plus annual revenue growth of camera modules in the Opto-electronics business group and the 20% annual growth in the HIS (Human Input Solutions-PC keyboards and peripherals) business unit of the Mechanical Competence business group, both striking record highs in the company’s history. In terms of LEDs, we have fully recovered from the adverse impact on production caused by the floods in Thailand in Q2 of last year and the LED lighting units’ annual revenue tripled thanks to the increase in market demand, efficient production and expansion of globally branded customers’ orders. Leotek, Lite-On’s subsidiary, also became one of the top 3 LED street light providers in Taiwan by winning the contract for the government’s extensive energy-saving project--a total of 42,000 existing mercury lights across Taipei, New Taipei City, Tainan and Taitung City will
- 13 -
be replaced by Leotek’s LED lights. Meanwhile, in view of the growing trend in mobile device use across the globe, Lite-On Mobile will continue to adjust itself and focus on account management, shipment of core units and creation of a profitable product portfolio for operational improvement and profit growth in 2013.
� Honors and Recognitions
In addition to the concrete results in operations, Lite-On not only kept its No.1 position on CommonWealth Magazine’s list of Top 1000 Manufacturers for the fourth consecutive year but was also recognized as the runner-up for CommonWealth Magazine’s Benchmark Enterprise Award.
Lite-On has always been devoted to corporate social responsibility. This year, praises and recognitions from all sectors continued to pour in. For the second year in a row, Lite-On was selected as a leading member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) in the Electronic Component and Equipment (ELQ) sector. In the financial media, we were honored by being listed on the “Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility” list by CommonWealth Magazine for the sixth consecutive year as well as awarded first prize for the Global Views Magazine’s Overall Performance in Corporate Social Responsibility and Paragon Prize for Education sector. To strengthen our communication channels with all employees, shareholders and stakeholders and to further reinforce information disclosure transparency, Lite-On Technology's CSR report has been certified as GRIG3.1 Application Level A+ and AA 1000 Type 1 Moderate Assurance Level by SGS Taiwan, an impartial third party. Furthermore, we received once again the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Report (CSR) Award conferred by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TISE). Every recognition has highlighted Lite-On’s determination and results in keeping corporate governance transparent and fulfilling its corporate social responsibility while improving operating performance and growth.
As a leading manufacturer of optoelectronics, Lite-On strives to increase its R&D capabilities and industrial design competency. Lite-On’s R&D expenses has risen by 12% over the last year, further strengthening its leading position and core competencies in the areas of advanced power solutions, optoelectronics and institutional products. Lite-On’s industrial design performance also obtained 2[nd] place in the 2012 Red Dot Awards, the highest honor received by a Taiwanese company.
� Development and Outlook
Global financial conditions and overall economic growth are still areas filled with uncertainty in the year 2013. Lite-On will remain cautious yet optimistic in the face of all the challenges ahead. In the past few years, Lite-On has
- 14 -
established Eastern and Southern operation centers in Changzhou and Guangzhou to improve operational efficiency by centralizing bases of operation and focusing on effective management of global supply chain resources. The results have been clear. With the increase of production by high-end facilities and efficient operations as well as the addition of automated manufacturing, our overall core competitiveness has certainly improved.
By foreseeing global industry trends, Lite-On has become a forerunner in cloud-computing applications such as high-end servers, IT infrastructure, smart phones, tablet personal computers, etc. With concrete results as a foundation, Lite-On will continue to strive for product portfolio optimization and product differentiation in the year 2013. We hope that our strategies will increase profit and guide us towards steady growth.
As Taiwan’s 1[st] LED manufacturer, Lite-On firmly believes that LED lighting products that can save energy and reduce carbon dioxide will continue to grow strongly in the long term. With our outstanding manufacturing technology and service, Lite-On has already become a major supplier of many renowned LED lighting providers. With orders from our international clients, we expect a fruitful 2013 for our LED lighting components.
In terms of long-term corporate developmental strategies, Lite-On has completed the acquisition of Liteon-IT in March of 2013 to keep up with the industry’s developmental trends and to integrate resources so as to continue enhancing operating performance and core competence. Through organizational integration, Lite-On will become a 100% share-holding parent company of Liteon-IT. After consolidation, Lite-On will further strengthen its leading position as the world’s largest Optical disk drive (ODD) manufacturer through sharing R&D and product manufacturing technology. In addition, Lite-On’s and Liteon-IT’s customers will be able to enjoy a comprehensive product line, key components and the most timely services. In this manner, global customers’ needs for supply chain consolidation can be satisfied. The adoption of solid state drives (SSD) by industries focusing on cloud-computing, mobile devices, car electronics and healthcare equipment will serve as a new wave of energy for growth that will benefit from consolidated cross-marketing. This will not only contribute to the company’s overall operational performance, profitability and corporate value but also will be a positive driving force for Lite-On’s corporate governance, its shareholders’ rights and its EPS.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lite-On Technology Corporation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. However, as disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements, we did not audit the financial statements of some equity-method investees as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The carrying values of these investments included in the accompanying balance sheets were 2.21% (NT$2,461,820 thousand) and 2.07% (NT$2,344,663 thousand) of the Corporation’s total assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Also, the equity amounting to NT$92,500 thousand and NT$57,475 thousand in the investees’ net earnings were 1.22% and 0.76%, respectively, of the Corporation’s income before income tax in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also 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 reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lite-On Technology Corporation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Lite-On Technology Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lite-On Technology Corporation (“Parent Company”) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Parent Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. However, as disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, we did not audit the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 of some consolidated subsidiaries. The assets of these subsidiaries were 3.42% (NT$6,681,382 thousand) and 3.67% (NT$7,488,587 thousand) of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The sales of these subsidiaries were 5.23% (NT$11,292,480 thousand) and 5.96% (NT$13,750,342) of the consolidated total sales in 2012 and 2011, respectively. These subsidiaries’ financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these subsidiaries, as well as the subsidiaries’ information disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also 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 reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
- 1 -
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Lite-On Technology Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.
March 29, 2013
Notice to Readers
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdiction. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.
For the convenience of readers, the auditors’ report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed and call for a vote.
- Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair.
A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.

|---|---|---|
| 12. Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares. With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares. When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of this Corporation, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder. The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders. With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3 percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation. |
XII. Any matters insufficiently provided for herein shall be subject to the Company Law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and other applicable laws and ordinances. |
|
| 13. A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act. When this Corporation holds a shareholders meeting,it mayallow the shareholders to |
(Newly established) |
29
| exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be established in accordance with the laws and shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person.
