Except that the Private Placement Shares and the new common shares to be issued upon conversion of Private Placement CB are subject to the selling restrictions within three years after the delivery date of the Private Placement Shares/Private Placement CB under Article 43-8 of the Securities and Exchange Act, the new common shares to be issued to sponsor the DR Offering, the new common shares to be issued in public offering, the Private Placement Shares and the new common shares to be issued upon conversion of Private Placement CB will have the same rights and obligations as the Company’s existing issued and outstanding common shares. It is proposed to authorize the Board to determine the rights and obligations of the new preferred shares in accordance with the Article of Incorporation and applicable laws and regulations.
-
(5) Under the situation where the issue price of the new common shares to be issued to sponsor the DR Offering, the new common shares to be issued in public offering, new preferred shares to be issued in public offering, Private Placement Shares and the conversion price for the Private Placement CB is set at a price less than the par value due to the market change, the reason for the Company not adopt other fund raising method and the reasonableness for such determination: This is mainly based on considerations of the sound operation of the Company and the security of its financial structure and issuing equity related securities for fund raising is more appropriate than pure debt financing. If the Company decides to use the fund raising methods, such as issuing new shares for cash to sponsor the DR Offering, issuing new common shares for cash in public offering, issuing new preferred shares for cash in public offering, and issuing Private Placement Shares, etc. the Company would not incur any interest of the debt in such case not only the Company's financial risk could be reduced, the Company's financial structure could be improved and the flexibility of the Company’s treasury management would also be increased. For issuance of Private Placement CB, if investor converts Private Placement CB into the common shares, such would improve the Company’s financial structure and would benefit the Company’s long-term development. Thus, it should be reasonable for the Company to issue the equity related securities. If the issue price and the conversion price is less than the par value, such would be expected to cause decrease of the Company’s capital surplus and retained earnings in which case the Company will, depending on the actual operating conditions in the future, make up for the losses. As the issue price and the conversion price will be determined in accordance with the relevant regulations, thus, after realization of the benefits of the capital increase, the Company's financial structure will be effectively improved which would be favorable to the Company’s long-term development and would not have adverse impact on the rights and benefits of the shareholders.

Furthermore, we conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the paragraph on the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:
- Revenue recognition
Please refer to notes 4(r) and 6(y) for the accounting policy on revenue recognition and “Revenue” for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The Group has several operating segments. Each segment engages in different business activities. In addition, the Group has operations spread globally. The Group recognizes its revenue depending on the various trade terms in each individual sale transaction and service rendered, which are considered to be complex in determining the timing of revenue recognition. Therefore, revenue recognition has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matters above, our principal audit procedures included testing the design and operating effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls over financial reporting in the sales and collection cycle; assessing whether revenue is recognized based on the trade terms with customers through reviewing the related sales contracts or other trade documents; performing a sample test on sales transactions that took place before and after the balance sheet date
12 Attachment 1
to determine whether the performance obligation has been satisfied by transferring control over the goods or services to a customer, and assessing the accuracy of the timing of revenue recognition; reviewing and understanding the reasonableness for any identified significant sales returns and allowances that took place after the balance sheet date, as well as assessing the completeness of the revenue and related sales returns and allowances.
2. Valuation of inventories
Please refer to notes 4(h), 5 and 6(f) for the inventory accounting policy, “Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty” for estimation uncertainty of inventory valuation, and “Inventories” for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the rapid technological innovations and highly competitive environments in the electronic industry, the life cycle of certain products of the Group are short and their market prices fluctuate rapidly, which could possibly result in a price decline and obsolescence of inventory, wherein the inventory cost may exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included reviewing the inventory of aging report and analyzing the fluctuation of inventory aging; selecting samples to verify the accuracy of the net realizable value of inventories and inventory aging report prepared by the Group; evaluating whether valuation of inventories was accounted for in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies; and assessing the historical reasonableness of management’s estimates on inventory provisions.
3. Business combination
Please refer to notes 4(w) and 6(i) for the accounting policy on business combination, and “Business Combination” for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The Group acquired 19.02% ownership of Alpha Networks Inc. through public tender offer in July 2020, wherein the Group's ownership interest in Alpha Networks Inc. increased from 23.84% to 42.86%; therefore, it is assessed that the Group obtained control over it. To adopt the accounting treatment of business combination, the management needs to determine the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities. The assessment is complex and involves significant assumptions and estimation. Accordingly, the assessment of business combination has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included obtaining the purchase price allocation report with valuation of intangible assets conducted by an external expert engaged by the management; and auditing the acquired assets and liabilities identified by the management including any fair value adjustment at the acquisition date. In doing so, we have consulted internal valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of the valuation model and key assumptions used. We have also confirmed that correct accounting treatment has been applied and appropriate disclosures with respect to the acquisition has been made.
- Impairment of goodwill
Please refer to notes 4(p), 5 and 6(m) for the accounting policy on impairment of non-financial assets, “Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty”, for estimation uncertainty of impairment of goodwill, and “Intangible assets”, and for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Goodwill arising from acquisition of subsidiaries are annually subject to impairment test or when there are indications that goodwill may have been impaired. The assessment of the recoverable amount of goodwill involves management’s judgment and estimation. Accordingly, the assessment of impairment of goodwill has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included obtaining the assessment of goodwill impairment provided by the management; assessing the appropriateness of the valuation model and key assumptions, including the discount rate, expected growth rate and future cash flow projections, used by the management in measuring
Attachment 1 13
the recoverable amount; performing a sensitivity analysis of key assumptions and results; and assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures with respect to the related information.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries of the Group. Those 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 those subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of other auditors. The financial statements of those subsidiaries reflect the total assets amounting to NT$11,354,280 thousand and NT$9,195,065 thousand, respectively, constituting 6.65% and 6.76%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the total operating revenues amounting to NT$10,841,023 thousand and NT$9,600,253 thousand, respectively, constituting 5.66% and 5.66%, respectively, of the consolidated total operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Qisda Corporation has additionally prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter section.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, 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 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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercised professional judgment and maintained 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 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 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 auditors’ 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
14 Attachment 1
date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the 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 Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remained 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.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Tzu-Chieh Tang and Huei-Chen Chang.

2019 Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors of Qisda Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the parent-company-only financial statements of Qisda Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the parent-company-only balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the parent-company-only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and 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 reports of other auditors (please refer to the paragraph on Other Matter of our report), the accompanying parent-company-only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its 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, 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Furthermore, we conducted our audit of the parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the paragraph on the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent-company-only Financial Statements of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent-company-only 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s parent-company-only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:
- Revenue recognition
Please refer to notes 4(p) and 6(u) for the accounting policy on revenue recognition and “Revenue” for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to the parent-company-only financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The Company recognizes its revenue depending on the various trade terms in each individual sale transaction and service rendered, which are considered to be complex in determining the timing of revenue recognition. Therefore, revenue recognition has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matters above, our principal audit procedures included testing the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in the sales and collection cycle; assessing whether revenue is recognized based on the trade terms with customers through reviewing the related sales contracts or other trade documents; performing a sample test on the sales transactions that took place before and after the balance sheet date to determine whether the performance obligation has been satisfied by transferring control over the goods or services to a customer, and assessing the accuracy of the timing of revenue recognition; reviewing and understanding the
22 Attachment 1
reasonableness for any identified significant sales returns and allowances that took place after the balance sheet date, as well as assessing the completeness of the revenue and related sales returns and allowances.
2. Valuation of inventories
Please refer to notes 4(g), 5 and 6(f) for the inventory accounting policy, “Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty” for estimation uncertainty of inventory valuation, and “Inventories” for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to the parent-company-only financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the rapid technological innovations and highly competitive environments in the electronic industry, the life cycle of certain products of the Company are short and their market prices fluctuate rapidly, which could possibly result in a price decline and obsolescence of inventory, wherein the inventory cost may exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included reviewing the inventory of aging report and analyzing the fluctuation of inventory aging; selecting samples to verify the accuracy of the net realizable value of inventories and inventory aging report prepared by the Company; evaluating whether valuation of inventories was accounted for in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies; and assessing the historical reasonableness of management’s estimates on inventory provisions.
- Acquisition of subsidiaries
Please refer to notes 4(t) and 6(g) for the accounting policy on business combination, and the related disclosures on acquisition of subsidiaries, respectively, of the notes to the parent-company-only financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The Company acquired 19.02% ownership of Alpha Networks Inc. through public tender offer in July 2020, wherein the Company and its subsidiaries' ownership interest in Alpha Networks Inc. increased to 42.86%; therefore, it is assessed that the Company obtained control over it. To adopt the accounting treatment of business combination, the management needs to determine the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities. The assessment is complex and involves significant assumptions and estimation. Accordingly, the assessment of acquisition of subsidiaries has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included obtaining the purchase price allocation report with valuation on intangible assets, conducted by an external expert engaged by the management; and auditing the acquired assets and liabilities identified by the management including any fair value adjustment at the acquisition date. In doing so, we have consulted internal valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of the valuation model and key assumptions used. We have also confirmed that correct accounting treatment has been applied and appropriate disclosures with respect to the acquisition has been made.
- Assessment of impairment of goodwill from investments in subsidiaries
Please refer to notes 4(n), 5 and 6(g) for the accounting policy on impairment of non-financial assets, “Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty”, for the estimation uncertainty of impairment of goodwill, and “Investments accounted for using the equity method,” and for the related disclosures, respectively, of the notes to the parent-company-only financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Goodwill arising from acquisition of subsidiaries, which are included in the carrying amount of investments accounted for using the equity method. Goodwill are annually subject to impairment test or when there are indications that goodwill may have been impaired. The assessment of the recoverable amount of goodwill involves management’s judgment and estimation. Accordingly, the assessment of impairment of goodwill has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
Attachment 1 23
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included obtaining the assessment of goodwill impairment provided by the management; assessing the appropriateness of the valuation model and key assumptions, including the discount rate, expected growth rate and future cash flow projections, used by the management in measuring the recoverable amount; performing a sensitivity analysis of key assumptions and results; and assessing the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures with respect to the related information.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investees accounted for using the equity method of the Company. Those 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 those investees, is based solely on the report of other auditors. Those investments accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$5,666,505 thousand and NT$4,756,920 thousand, respectively, constituting 6.27% and 5.64%, respectively, of the total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related shares of profit of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures amounted to NT$260,766 thousand and NT$366,655 thousand, respectively, constituting 4.97% and 9.54%, respectively, of the total income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
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 members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercised professional judgment and maintained 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 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.
24 Attachment 1
-
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 investees accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the parent-company-only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remained 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.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Tzu-Chieh Tang and Huei-Chen Chang.
