CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019


For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended, as well as the related consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine months then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” in the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As explained in Notes 4(3) and 6(8), the financial statements of certain insignificant consolidated subsidiaries and certain investments accounted for using the equity method were not reviewed by independent auditors. Those statements reflect total assets of NT$3,758,054 thousand and NT$1,807,155 thousand, constituting 12% and 6% of the consolidated total assets, and total liabilities

~2~

of NT$1,023,723 thousand and NT$426,088 thousand, constituting 5% and 3% of the consolidated total liabilities as at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and total comprehensive income (loss) of (NT$18,268) thousand, (NT$49,104) thousand, (NT$52,775) thousand and (NT$20,094) thousand, constituting (7%), (6%), 14% and (1%) of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months and nine months then ended, respectively.

Qualified Conclusion

Except for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries and certain investments accounted for using the equity method been reviewed by independent auditors, that we might have become aware of had it not been for the situation described above, based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at September 30, 2020 and 2019, and of its consolidated financial performance for the three months and nine months then ended, and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months then ended in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Pensions

Total exchange gain (loss), including realised and unrealized, arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 amounted to a loss of $77,995 thousand, a gain of $79,176 thousand, a loss of $98,117 thousand, and a gain of $89,412 thousand, respectively.

~78~

Price risk

  • i. The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and available-for-sale financial assets. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

  • ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise shares and open-end funds issued by the domestic companies. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 3% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $729 thousand and $654 thousand, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $44,685 thousand and $74,912 thousand, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as available-for-sale equity investment and equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • i. The Group’s borrowings are measured at amortised cost. The borrowings are periodically contractually repriced and to that extent are also exposed to the risk of future changes in market interest rates.

  • ii. If the borrowing interest rate had increased/decreased by 0.25% with all other variables held constant, profit (loss), net of tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $4,564 thousand and $3,764 thousand, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result in floating-rate borrowings.

  • (b) Credit risk

  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of debt instruments stated at amortised cost, at fair value through profit or loss and at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • ii. For banks and financial institutions, the Group transacts with a variety of banks and financial institutions, mainly domestic and overseas well-known financial institutions, to avoid concentration in any single counterparty and to minimise credit risk. The Group can only enter into the financial services and loan agreement provided by banks and financial institutions after being approved by the Board of Directors or authorised management according to the Company’s delegation of authorisation policy. To prevent legal risks, all the Group signs with banks and financial institutions after all documents are examined by counsel or legal advisor profession. The Group periodically checks the credit rating, conditions and quality of service as well as transactions. According to the Group’s operating condition, the credit limits and utilisation of credit limits are monitored on a regular basis and maintained within a reasonable range to ensure it meets the needs of the operation.

  • iii. The Group adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.

  • iv. The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:

~79~

  • (i) If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

  • (ii) For investments in bonds that are traded over the counter, if any external credit rating agency rates these bonds as investment grade, the credit risk of these financial assets is low.

  • v. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:

  • (i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;

  • (ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

  • (iii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;

  • (iv) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.

  • vi. The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable, contract assets in accordance with geographic area. The Group applies the modified approach using provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.

  • vii. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights.

  • viii. The Group used the forecastability of adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable, contract assets and lease payments receivable. As of September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the provision matrix is as follows:

(3) Fair value information

  • A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks, and derivative instruments with quoted market prices is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in certain derivative instruments and equity instruments is included in Level 2.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in certain derivative instruments, equity investment without active market and is included in Level 3.

~85~

  • B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value Financial instruments not measured at fair value include the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable and other payables.

  • C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities as at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 is as follows:

  • D. The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

  • i. The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:

Listed shares Open-end fund Closing price at Net asset value at Market quoted price evaluation date evaluation date

  • ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods.

  • iii. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.

  • vi. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management

~88~

believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.

  • E. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • F. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:
