Phihong Technology Co., Ltd.

Financial Statements for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders Phihong Technology Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Phihong Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the six months then ended (all expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six months then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the 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.

We have also audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (not presented herewith) on which we have issued an unqualified opinion, thereon in our report dated August 23, 2012.

August 23, 2012

Notice to Readers

For the convenience of readers, 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.

Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at the historical rate, except for the beginning balance of the retained earnings, which is carried at the translated amount of the preceding period. Dividends are translated at the spot rate at the declaration date. Income statement accounts are translated at the current rate or weighted-average rate of the current period.

Foreign-currency transactions (except derivative transactions) are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date. Gains or losses resulting from the application of prevailing exchange rates when foreign-currency receivables and payables are settled are credited or charged to income. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (except foreign long-term investments) are translated at the balance sheet date exchange rates, and resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to current income.

At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency nonmonetary assets (such as equity instruments) and liabilities that are measured at fair value are revalued using prevailing exchange rates, with the exchange differences which recognized in shareholders’ equity if the changes in fair value are recognized in shareholders’ equity and recognized in profit and loss if the changes in fair value is recognized in profit or loss.

Foreign-currency nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are carried at cost continue to be stated at exchange rates at trade dates.

Accounting Estimates

Under above guidelines, law and principles, certain estimates and assumptions have been used for the allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for loss on inventories, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, asset impairment loss, income tax, pension cost, bonuses to employees, directors and supervisors, etc. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Current/Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Cash or cash equivalents, assets held for operating purposes and assets expected to be converted into cash or consumed within one year from balance sheet date are recorded as current assets. Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other assets that do not qualify as current assets are recorded as noncurrent assets. Liabilities incurred for operating purposes and expected to be liquidated within one year from balance sheet date are recorded as current liabilities. Liabilities that do not qualify as current liabilities are recorded as noncurrent liabilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes unrestricted cash and bank deposits. Cash equivalents refer to short-term commercial papers whose carrying values approximate fair values.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in equity until the financial assets are disposed of, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is included in profit or loss for the year. All regular purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

The fair value of listed and over-the-counter stocks, open-end fund, and bonds are determined at their closing prices, net asset values, and reference prices from the over-the-counter securities exchange in Taiwan at the balance sheet date, respectively.

Cash dividends are recognized as income at the ex-dividend date but cash dividends declared out of net income earned before the investment date are recorded as a reduction of the investment cost. Stock dividends received are not recognized as income; they are instead reflected as an increase in the number of shares held.

An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired. Any subsequent decrease in impairment loss for an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale is recognized directly in equity. If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale subsequently increases as a result of an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed to profit.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost, Noncurrent

Equity investments without reliable fair value are carried at their original cost. The accounting process for dividend income is similar with that for available-for-sale financial assets. If there is objective evidence showing that the asset is impaired, impairment loss shall be recognized and not allowed to be reversed.

  • 9 -

Impairment of Accounts Receivable

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided on the basis of a review of the collectibility of accounts receivable.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, on January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the third-time revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” One of the main revisions is that impairment of receivables originated by the Company should be covered by SFAS No. 34. Accounts receivable are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period and considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the accounts receivable, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been affected.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made item by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

Long-term Investments at Equity Method

Investments in which the Company holds 20 percent or more of the investees’ voting shares or exercises significant influence over the investees’ operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for by the equity method.

The investment cost is allocated to the assets and liabilities of the investee (proportionate to the percentage of ownership) on the basis of their fair values at the date of investment, and the investment cost in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized. The fair value of the net identifiable assets of the investee in excess of the investment cost is used to reduce the fair value of each of the noncurrent assets of the investee in proportion to the respective fair values of the noncurrent assets, with any excess recognized as an extraordinary gain.

When the Company subscribes for its investee’s newly issued shares at a percentage different from its percentage of ownership in the investee, the Company records the change in its equity in the investee’s net assets as an adjustment to investments, with a corresponding amount credited or charged to capital surplus. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus from long-term investments is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

If the Company exercises significant influence but without controlling power in such long-term investment, it should limit its share of investment losses to the extent that the book value of such long-term investment reduced to zero. However, if the Company intends to continue its support for the investee company, or has sufficient evidence to support that the investee company will return to profitability in the short run; the Company would continue to recognize investment losses in proportion to its stock ownership percentage even if the book value of such long-term investment and advances has come to negative.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. Major additions and improvements to property, plant and equipment are capitalized, while costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed currently.

  • 10 -

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives as follows:

Items Estimated Useful Lives
Buildings and improvements 5-50 years
Machinery and equipment 3-9 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 3-8 years
Other equipment 3-10 years

Property, plant and equipment still in use beyond their original estimated useful lives are further depreciated over their new estimated useful lives. Depreciation of revaluated assets is provided on a straight-line basis over their remaining estimated useful lives determined at the time of revaluation.

The related cost (including revaluation increment), accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses and any unrealized revaluation increment of an item of property, plant and equipment are derecognized from the balance sheet upon its disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of the asset is included in nonoperating gains or losses in the year of disposal.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets which comprise computer software acquired are initially recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges are the costs of office decoration and installation of telephone and internet systems and others. The amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over 2 to 10 years.

Impairment of Assets

If the recoverable amount of an asset (mainly property, plant and equipment, deferred charges, intangible assets and investments accounted for by the equity method) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged to earnings unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is first treated as a deduction to the unrealized revaluation increment and any remaining loss is charged to earnings.

If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased accordingly, but the increased carrying amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in earnings, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is first recognized as gains to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously charged to earnings. Any excess amount is treated as an increase in the unrealized revaluation increment.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units (“CGUs”) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the CGU may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the CGU becomes less than its carrying amount, the impairment is allocated to first reduce the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. A reversal of an impairment loss on goodwill is disallowed.

For long term equity investments in which the Company has significant influence but with no control, the carrying amount (including goodwill) of each investment is compared with its own recoverable amount for the purpose of impairment testing.

  • 11 -

Pension Plan

Pension cost under a defined benefit plan is determined by actuarial valuations. Contributions made under a defined contribution plan are recognized as pension cost during the year in which employees render services.

Curtailment or settlement gains or losses of the defined benefit plan are recognized as part of the net periodic pension cost for the year.

Income Tax

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 22, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to account for income tax. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets with uncertain realization.

If the Company can control the timing of the reversal of a temporary difference between the book value and the tax basis of a long-term equity investment in a foreign subsidiary or joint venture and if the temporary difference is not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future and will, in effect, exist indefinitely, then a deferred tax liability or asset is not recognized.

Tax credits for purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, and personnel training expenditures are recognized using the flow-through method.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

Income tax on unappropriated earnings at a rate of 10% is expensed in the year of stockholders’ approval to retain the earnings which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

Deferred Credits

Deferred credits refer to unrealized profits from transactions between the Company and its equity-method investees.

Stock-based Compensation

Employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2008 are accounted for under SFAS No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment.” Under SFAS No. 39, the value of the stock options granted, which is equal to the best available estimate of the number of stock options expected to vest multiplied by the grant-date fair value, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - employee stock options. The estimate is revised if subsequent information indicates that the number of stock options expected to vest differs from previous estimates.

Employee stock options granted between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2007 were accounted for under the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (“ARDF”). The Company adopted the intrinsic value method, under which compensation cost was recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Sales Recognition

Sales are recognized when titles to products and the risks of ownership are transferred to customers, primarily upon shipment. Sales returns and allowances are subtracted from sales as these are incurred and the related costs of goods sold are eliminated.

  • 12 -

Sales are measured at the fair value agreed by the Company and the buyers. However, if the accounts receivable are due in a year, they are not recorded at discounted value as the fair value approximates the invoice amount.

Reserve for Sale Warranties

Reserve for sale warranties is accrued based on the proper percentage of the current sales.

Earnings Per Share

The amount of basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. On a diluted basis, net earnings and shares outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of employee stock options from the date of issuance. Treasury stock method is used to calculate the stock warrants’ dilutive potential common shares. However, employee stock options with anti-dilutive effect are excluded from the calculation.

Nonderivative Financial Instruments

The recognition, valuation, and measurement of nonderivative financial assets and liabilities are made in accordance with the above accounting policies and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Accounting Treatment of Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” The main revisions included loans and receivables originated by the Company under SFAS No. 34. This accounting change did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Operating Segments

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly issued SFAS No. 41, “Operating Segments.” The statement requires identification and disclosure of operating segments on the basis of how the Company’s chief operating decision maker regularly reviews information in order to allocate resources and assess performance. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 20, “Segment Reporting.”

Each individual employee stock warrant is granted the right to purchase 1,000 new issued common shares. The exercise price is the closing price of the Company’s common shares at the employee stock warrants’ issuance date. The warrant holders can exercise the right up to half of the granted warrant units no earlier than two years from the granted date. After three years from the granted date, the warrants holders are eligible to exercise the right up to three-fourth of the granted warrant units. After four years from the granted date, the warrants holders are eligible to exercise all the warrants owned. The options granted are valid for six years and the warrant holders can not exercise the right after six years from the granted date. As of December 28, 2007, the Company issued stock warrants of 15,000 units with the exercise price is $21.30 per share. The exercise price will be adjusted according to calculating formula when there are stock and cash dividends and issuance of capital stock.

16. RETAINED EARNINGS

Under the Company Law of the ROC and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, 10% of the Company’s annual earnings, net of tax and any deficit, should first be appropriated as legal reserve until such reserve equals to the amount of the Company’s capital, and then a special reserve should be appropriated as required by laws or domestic authorities.

Any remaining earnings plus unappropriated earnings accumulated by prior years, unless to be retained partially by the Company or resolved otherwise by the stockholders, and plan to assign proposal, draw shareholders to recognize and should be appropriated as follows:

  • a. Not greater than 2% as remuneration to directors and supervisors;

  • b. Not less than 10% as bonuses to employees; and

  • c. The remaining as dividends, of which at least 10% should be cash dividends.

Under the Company Law, capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit. However, the capital surplus from shares issued in excess of par may be capitalized, which however is limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s paid-in capital. Under the revised Company Law issued on January 4, 2012, the aforementioned capital surplus also may be distributed in cash. The capital surplus from long-term investments may not be used for any purpose.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the bonus to employees was $22,672 thousand and $156,211 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration to directors and supervisors was $2,519 thousand and $17,357 thousand, respectively. The bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors represented 20%, of net income (net of the bonus and remuneration). Material differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the Board of Directors in the following year are adjusted for in the current year. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the shareholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If a share bonus is resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of the share bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

The appropriations of earnings for 2011 and 2010 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 19, 2012 and June 15, 2011, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

The approved amounts of the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors have no difference from the accrual amounts.

Potential shares from bonus to employees which will be distributed in shares will be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding in calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the amount of bonus to employees by the closing price of the common shares on the balance sheet date. The dilutive effect of the potential shares needs to be considered until the shares of employee bonus are resolved in the shareholders’ meeting in the following year.

Approaches and assumptions used to assess the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:

  • a. Fair values of current assets and liabilities, cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties, other financial assets - current, refundable deposits, notes payable, accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties, other payables, etc. are based on carrying values because of their short maturities.

  • b. Fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets are determined using the market value in the open market or estimated by evaluation method according to the open information in the market.

  • c. Fair values of long-term equity investments are estimated based on the audited net value of investees as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.

  • d. Financial assets carried at cost are investments in unquoted shares, which have no quoted price in an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair value. Therefore, no fair value is presented.

  • e. Fair values of long-term borrowings are determined using the present value of the forecasted cash flows discounted at interest rates of similar long-term debts.

The amounts of financial assets determined by market value in the open market or estimated by evaluation method as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 are summarized as follows:

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the net foreign exchange gains on forwards was $2,435 thousand, which was recorded as nonoperating expenses and losses.

The information of financial risk was summarized as follows:

Market Risk

The Company is exposed to investing risk because it invests in the listed companies; therefore, the fair values of the stock are fluctuated due to changes in market price. One percentage decline in market rate will cause the fair value of financial instruments to decline by $375 thousand.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments are evaluated for credit risk which represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Company if the counter-parties or third-parties breached the contracts. The risk includes centralization of credit risk, components, contract figure, and its accounts receivable. Besides, the Company requires significant clients to provide guarantees or other rights of guarantee to reduce credit risk of the Company effectively.

Liquidity Risk

The Company has the ability to meet its financial obligations; thus, liquidity risks virtually do not exist.

  • 25 -

Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk

The Company engaged in the long-term borrowings which had floating-interest rate. Therefore, cash flows are expected to fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. One percentage increase in market rate will cause the Company increase its cash-out by $2,000 thousand.

Hedge of fair value, hedge of cash flow, and hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation: None
