In January 2015, PRIMAX acquired 30% of the shareholdings of GLOBALTEK, a manufacturer of automobile and aerospace precision machinery. In the future, the company can outreach to different applications and platforms through the current product lines of GLOBALTEK.

2. Business Strategy and Technology Developments
The company operates in the acute competitive and fast changing environment of the electronic industry. The challenge is echoed with the change in the global macroeconomic environment and the challenges from the industry competitors. Yet, the company can keep abreast of the mainstream market trend of technologies. With stable paces in operation, and the principle of “Customer Foremost, Quality First”, the company provides services to the satisfaction of the customers for creating stable profit. In the future, the IT industry will develop towards cloud computing technology, mobile device, and digital home. PRIMAX will spare no effort in fortifying the research and development of key technologies, such as RFID, touch activation technology, backlight keyboard, cable/wireless acoustics, and high-end camera module encapsulation process. PRIMAX aims at the development of high-end product market and the proactive development of new products for enriching its product lines. Under the diversification strategy in FY 2015, PRIMAX expects further growth in revenue and gross profit.
In production, the company launched massive capacity expansion in FY 2015 for meeting the growth in demand of products under performance growth in the year, the development needs of products, the diversification of concentration risk in a single market, and response to the change in the labor market in Mainland China. It is expected that the expansion will be accomplished in this year. By then, PRIMAX can provide high capacity and high quality production support. In the future, the plant sites in Dongguan, Chongqing, Kunshan, and Huizhou will be the four major production bases. PRIMAX will fortify its production capability and optimize its allocation of production capacity.
In sales, the 2 major business groups of PRIMAX have development strategies elaborated below. The computer peripherals group is in a market with well-developed products. The upgrade of product quality and reduction of production cost will be sustained. It will be supported by the development of new application technologies and corresponding new products to meet the needs in different markets. For the non-computer peripherals group, which runs camera modules, printers, and cable/wireless acoustics, will also make effort in the development of new products and technologies. It also maintains high level of product R&D capability for development of new accounts quickly and increase market share. Through the in-house development or acquisition of advanced technologies from vertical integration, the company seeks to accelerate its affiliation with world-class front line products for business and profit growth as the intermediate and long-term goal. The company also seeks to extend its current product portfolios and technologies to different applications and platforms as the objective for long-term development.

Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors Primax Electronics Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Primax Electronics Ltd. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. 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 did not audit the financial statements of the Company’s investee company Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd., which was accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to that investment, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. The Company’s investment in Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. amounted to $2,702,548 thousand, constituting 12% of the total assets, as of December 31, 2014. The related share of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method amounted to $149,981 thousand, constituting 9% of the net profit before tax, for the year ended December 31, 2014.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those 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.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the accompanying financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Primax Electronics Ltd. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
March 24, 2015
The accompanying financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuer and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.
The auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of, the English and Chinese language auditors’ report and financial statement, the Chinese version shall prevail.

Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors Primax Electronics Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Primax Electronics Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd., and its financial statements were audited by the other auditors. Our audits, insofar as Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. is concerned, are based solely on the reports of the other auditors. As of December 31, 2014, the assets of Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. amounted to NT$3,256,659 thousand, constituting 10% of the consolidated total assets. From January 10 to December 31, 2014, the operating revenue of Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. amounted to NT$6,277,916 thousand, constituting 12% of the consolidated operating revenue.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated 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 other auditors, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Primax Electronics Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity 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 endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission in the Republic of China.

Primax Electronics Ltd. has prepared annual individual financial reports as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, on which we have issued a modified unqualified opinion.
March 24, 2015
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission in the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.
The auditors’ report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of, the English and Chinese language auditors’ report and financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.
