Perspective of 2020 Business Vision Operations
Due to the Sino-U.S. trade war that has been carrying on for two years and the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) at the end of last year, the uncertainty of the overall market is increased, which adds to the challenge of flexibility and resilience on enterprises. In response to the tariff issue of the Sino-US trade war, in the Q4 of 2018, we resumed the Hsinchu factory and expanded the production lines subsequently. Thus, we managed to win the trust and support of our customers. Nonetheless, Mainland China bore the brunt of the COVID-19. Due to the outbreak, several measures such as personnel flow control have been taken. These measures indirectly caused problems to the supply chain. Order delays are unavoidable. Thus, the overall status of the outbreak will inevitably affect the global economy. In response to the pandemic, Mitac Group immediately formed a pandemic prevention and emergency center to keep abreast of the possible impact of the pandemic situation and comply with local regulations. The Group adopted contingency measures, including plant health management, employee care and overall anti-pandemic measures. Under the premise of employee health, the Group scheduled and adjusted production capacity and material supply in various factories around the world with great flexibility, so that operation and production can still be actively carried out under extreme conditions.
The 2020 global IT expenditure is expected to reach USD 3.9 trillion, with an increase of 3.4% from last year. Among those, the enterprise software market has fastest growth rate. It is estimated that by the year 2022, enterprise IT expenditures on cloud products will grow faster than non-cloud IT products. Soon, more innovative business models will emerge, which will drive the demand for cloud service providers’ building of data centers. According to the prediction of the “German Association of the Automotive Industry”, the global new car market will reach 78.90 million vehicles in 2020. Although it has dropped by 1% compared to last year, more than half of the new cars will be connected to the Internet. The automotive industry is undergoing the largest
11
transformation in history, with CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) as a long-term vision to achieve safer and more efficient transportation.
With the release of 5G spectrum in various countries around the world and the successive transformation of business, 5G's high frequency bandwidth, low latency, intelligent distribution and edge features have allowed operators to launch various value-added services applications, such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, security monitoring and intelligent home. A new chapter of the intelligent era of IoT has started. In the era of industrial reshaping, MitacGroup uses the extension of core products and technologies to develop new business opportunities with industrial partners through strategic alliances.
MiTAC Computing Tech. Corp. specializes in cloud computing services, and its technology covers enterprise, data center, and carrier-grade servers, as well as industrial-grade products and R&D. With the experience of ODM and TYAN brands, and the integration with the open source communities, MCT hopes to play the role of a key solution provider in the telecommunications market opportunities brought by 5G. MiTAC Digital Tech. Corp., which focuses on automotive electronics, AIoT and professional business solutions, aims to work with partners to create a safer, more efficient and better driving environment in the infinitely possible field of connected vehicles through AI Vision Technology, computing and AIoT technologies to successively launch smart driving video recorders, networked driving video recorders and telematics boxes. Mitac Holdings Corp. continues to promote the digital transformation of the Group, pursue value-based growth and profitability, and give back long-term support to shareholders with steady growth and profitability.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
PWCR19000254
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of MiTAC Holdings Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MiTAC Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “MiTAC Group”) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the audit reports of other independent accountants, as described in the Other matter – reference to audit reports of other independent accountants section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the MiTAC Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants”, “Rule No. Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing-1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on February 25, 2020” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS); and in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS) for our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Independent accountants’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the MiTAC Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the
~14~
Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the audit reports of the other independent accountants, 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 judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the MiTAC Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Sales revenue recognition
Description
For accounting policies on sales revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4(33). Considering that the sales revenue are material to its financial statements, the types of MiTAC Group products and sales terms are various, the timing of revenue recognition can only be determined when the controls of ownership for products are transferred to the customers based on contract terms of each different customer. Thus, we identified the sales revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We conducted audit procedures, including: discussed with management and evaluated the policy of revenue recognition; assessed the effectiveness of design and implementation of internal controls over recognition of revenue; sampled the transactions of terms, performance obligations, and prices and verifying the supporting documents for delivery to ensure the proper timing and amounts of recognition; selected sales transactions for a specific period prior to and after the balance sheet date and verified transaction documents to ensure sales revenue are recorded in the proper period.
Valuation of inventory
Description
The MiTAC Group is mainly engaged in manufacturing and selling computers, computer peripherals and communications products. Due to rapid technological innovations and fluctuations in market demands, there is a higher risk of inventory obsolescence. The MiTAC Group’s inventories are
~15~
measured at the lower of costs and net realisable values. For description of accounting policies on valuation of inventories, please refer to Note 4(14), and for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to valuation of inventories, please refer to Note 5(2). Considering the MiTAC Group’s inventories were material to the consolidated financial statements and with various categories, and the valuation process was subject to management’s judgment, it was identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed audit procedures, including: discussed with management and evaluated the policies of inventory valuation; validated inventory aging report through checking the logic of calculating aged inventories and confirming the appropriateness of categorization of aged inventories; and validated the basis in determining net realizable values of obsolete or slow-moving inventories in order to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses.
Other matter- reference to audit reports of other independent accountants
We did not audit a certain indirectly held investment accounted for using equity method that was included in the consolidated financial statements, whose financial statements were prepared under a different financial reporting framework. We have performed necessary audit procedures on conversion of those financial statements into financial information in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Those financial statements prior to conversion were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit report of the other independent accountants. Share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$1,585,642 thousand and NT$1,108,426 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$11,569,372 thousand and NT$10,783,025 thousand as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
~16~
Other matter - Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of MiTAC Holdings Corporation as at and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
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 “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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 MiTAC Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the MiTAC Group 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 MiTAC Group’s financial reporting process.
Independent accountants’ 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 not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
~17~
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 MiTAC Group’s internal control.
-
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 MiTAC Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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 report. However, future events or conditions may cause the MiTAC Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, 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 MiTAC Group 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 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
~18~
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 the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
PWCR19000265
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of MiTAC Holdings Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of MiTAC Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the audit reports of other independent accountants, as described in the Other matters section of our report, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of MiTAC Holdings Corporation as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit of the parent company only financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants”, “Financial Supervisory Commission Order No. Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing-1090360805 of February 25, 2020” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS); and in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS) for our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company financial statements of the current period. 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company recognised MiTAC International Corporation and its subsidiaries, MiTAC Computing Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries and MiTAC Digital Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries, as investments accounted for using equity method, please refer to Note 6(3) for the details. The aforementioned investments accounted for using equity method constitute 98% of the Company’s total assets. Thus, we consider the following key audit matters of the Company’s investees also as key audit matters of the Company.
Sales revenue recognition
Description
Given that revenues are material to the financial statements of the subsidiaries that are accounted for using equity method, the types of products and sales terms are various, the timing of revenue recognition can only be determined when the controls of ownership for products are transferred to the customers based on contract terms of each different customer. Thus, we identified the sales revenue recognition of investees as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We conducted audit procedures, including: discussed with management and evaluated the policy of revenue recognition; assessed the effectiveness of design and implementation of internal controls over recognition of revenue; sampled the transactions of terms, performance obligations, and prices and verifying the supporting documents for delivery to ensure the proper timing and amounts of recognition; selected sales transactions for a specific period prior to and after the balance sheet date and verified transaction documents to ensure sales revenue are recorded in the proper period.
~28~
Valuation of inventory
Description
Subsidiaries accounted for using equity method were mainly engaged in manufacturing and selling computers and their peripherals and communications products. Since the industry involved rapidly changing technology and were affected by market demand, there was higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or having obsolete inventory. Inventories of investees were measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Considering that these inventories were significant, items were voluminous and the valuation is associated with subjective judgement, we identified valuation of inventory of the subsidiaries as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed audit procedures, including: discussed with management and evaluated the policy of inventory valuation,validated inventory aging report through checking the logic of calculating aged inventories and confirming the appropriateness of categorization of aged inventories; and validated the basis in determining net realizable values of obsolete or slow-moving inventories in order to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses.
Other matter- reference to reports of other independent accountants
We did not audit certain investments accounted for under the indirect equity method that were included in the parent company only financial statements, whose financial statements were prepared under a different financial reporting framework. The Company converted the financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”. Share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$1,585,642 thousand and NT$1,108,426 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$11,569,372 thousand and NT$10,783,025 thousand as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Those financial statements before adjustments were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent
company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, 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 company’s financial reporting process.
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 ROC GAAS 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement 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
~30~
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 Company’s internal control.
-
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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, 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 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.
~31~
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period 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.
