I. Letter to Shareholders

Dear shareholders,

Our parent level revenue totaled NT$ 11.9 bn in FY2012, a decrease of 10.3% YoY, and consolidated sale to NT$35.25bn, a decline of 1.76% YoY. However, our after-tax income and after-tax EPS attributable to shareholders increased NT$689.5mn and NT$1.53 per share, up 8.4% YoY and 14.7% YoY respectively.

The parent level revenue‘s decline can be attributed to a challenging global macro environment. However, an improvement in gross margin of 1.2 ppt more accurately reflects the growth of our trading business, particularly the commission based agency business. Agency shipments increase by 30.9% YoY in FY2012, accounting for 27.5% of our total shipments. As a matter of fact, we have added four new accounts to our growing list of agency customers, as we continue to gain market share and remain committed to growing our agency business. Additionally, we completed the acquisition of International Art, a trading company that specializes in Christmas and seasonal décor in 1Q13. The acquisition will likely enhance our product portfolio and present cross-selling opportunities given a broader customer base of a combined operation of International Art and Test-Rite.

Our after-tax income and after-tax EPS increases can be attributed to the growths in non-operating income, which totaled NT$452.2mn, up 27.3% YoY. This is the result of improving operations of Hola China and the acquisition of a 51% stake in TR USA, our distribution/logistics service arm in North American, and we currently hold 100% of TR USA. In fact, Hola China posted a loss of NT$ 7.1mn in 4Q12, the smallest loss to date for a given quarter and we are encouraged by the turnaround of our China retailing subsidiary. Our retail business currently operate over 70 retail outlets in Greater China, including 25 TLW, a DIY specialist in Taiwan, 22 Hola stores in Taiwan and 32 Hola stores in China.

In August 2012, Test-Rite disposed our holdings in Tung Lung Metal (TLM) by participating in the tender offer of TLM by Stanley Black and Deckard. This is a significant event for Test-Rite from multiple perspectives. From a strategic and operational stand point, the TLM transaction will enable Test-Rite to refocus on our core competency in trading and retail businesses going forward. From a financial strategy‘s perspective, proceed from TLM transaction immediately strengthens our balance sheet. The NT$ 2.1 bn proceed from the TLM transaction, combined with NT$ 600 mn in working capital improvement, the result of a from the implementation of vendor financing program for our trading business, lowered our net debt-to-equity ratio to 75.3% on a consolidated basis, below our original year-end target of 80%.

  • (1) Business plan and managerial principle:

  • A. Meticulously cultivate relationship for existing clients for the trading business.

  • B. Leverage our design capabilities to provide differentiating products and improve full range of sourcing services.

  • C. Continue to integrate operations of trading and retail subsidiaries to realize potential synergy.

  • (2) Future development strategy:

  • A. Aggressively expand the scope and identify new targets for Agency Business.

  • C. Target growth opportunities in Taiwan and China‘s retail market through brand licensing and new store openings.

3. Potential influence from external competition, regulation and macroeconomic environment

Faced with a rapidly changing competitive landscape, Test-Rite has leveraged its +30 years of experience in trading and continued to strengthen our product offering by developing Total Solution service for our trading business. These services encompass product and packaging design, logistics, and storage/warehousing capabilities that we believe is necessary to further strengthen or role within the supply to chain to global retail operators. Since 4Q12, we have already signed on 4 new accounts for our agency business and our principle trading business is well positioned to benefit from the sustained recovery of the U.S. consumer demand.

Taiwanese and Chinese authorities have extended the tightening of the overheated real estate markets. In fact, the implementation of luxury tax, increase in utility rates and enactment of tax on dividend and interest income are likely to have further adverse impact on household‘s disposable income and consumer demand. However, we remain focused on maintaining our growth momentum in the retail business and plans for addition 5-7 new store opening (2 in Taiwan and 3 to 5 in China) in 2013.

Lastly, all staff of Test Rite Group will spare no efforts to adequately plan, and manage our trading, retail and other investment businesses in an honest, sincere and dedicated manner, with the objective to strengthen our balance sheet and further enhance returns on shareholder equity (ROE). We, on behalf of all the employees at Test-Rite, would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for your continued support and encouragement.

Sincerely yours, Chairman CEO & President Judy Lee Sophia Tong

4.1.6 Dividend Policy and Implementation Status

A. Dividend Policy

The landscape of the industry in which the Company engages business in contains various risks and uncertainties. As the life cycle of the Company's development enters the stable and mature phase and taking into account the Company's diversification, future operating plans, capital requirements and long-term financial planning, as well as considering shareholders' interests, our dividend policy shall be formulated in accordance with the provisions of the Company Act and other relevant regulatory requirements to ensure the soundness and balance of dividend distribution. The distribution of dividends to shareholders shall be conducted via the following three methods: earned surplus-turned capital increase, capital reserve-turned capital increase and cash dividends. Here cash dividends may not be less than ten percent of the total dividends, although in the event that the cash dividend is less than NT$0.1 per share, no cash dividends will be distributed and instead the dividends will be distributed via stock dividends.

B. Proposed Distribution of Dividend

The Company's audited 2012 financial statements indicate that the net profit totaled to NT$689,536,324, and together with the retained earnings of NT$16,591,054 in the previous years, less the allocated statutory surplus reserve of NT$68,953,632, the surplus available for distribution was NT$637,173,746.

The Company intends to allocate shareholder's dividends in the amount of NT$526,054,563 in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation (with priority given to the allocation of earnings of the current year). With the total number of shares issued as of April 19, 2013 (ex-dividend date) being 521,955,558 shares, net of 34,868,000 treasury shares, the total actual number of outstanding shares is determined to be487,087,558, and consequently the cash dividend per share is NT$1.08.

4.1.7 The impact of the company's operating performance and earnings per share on stock dividends proposed in the shareholders' meeting

It‘s not applicable because the company does not disclose the financial prediction of 2012.

4.1.8 Employee Bonus and Directors' and Supervisors' Remuneration

(4) New products (services) under development:

  1. Development of effort-saving hand tools and related products: Hand tools remain one of the major categories of products shipped by the Company and accounted for approximately 30% of total export amount in 2010. In addition to the providing comprehensive features in professional tools, effort-saving is a major point of consideration for consumers. With the principles of structural mechanics and leverage, the design of hand tools must take into account not only the innovative appearance but also ergonomics in order to meet market demand.

  2. Development energy-saving lamps and related products:

The advocacy for energy conservation is no longer merely a slogan in Europe and North America. Governments have incorporated relevant measures into legislations and policies to encourage investments by private enterprises. Lamps and light fixtures are also a category of products exported by the Company. Apart from the modern designs of their exterior, lamps shipped by the Company contain automatic cut-off loop control circuitry to prevent consumers from misusing light bulbs that do not conform to the correct specifications and wasting energy; this helps to put the concept of energy conservation into practice effectively in product design.

5.1.2 Industry Overview

  • (1) Current status and development of the industry

The Company was founded in the August, 1978. During its earlier years, the Company focused on the export of hand tools and hardware. As the Company's customer base expanded, the product offerings also increased, including DIY hand tools and hardware to ceiling fans, light fixtures and other electrical appliances, bathroom equipment, indoor/outdoor furniture and other household items. The Company also gradually expanded operations into China, Southeast Asia (Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore), Europe (Germany and the U.K.) and Australia by setting up subsidiaries, representative offices or branch offices. In 1989, the Company targeted Taiwan‘s domestic retail market and established a domestic sales/import team, targeting major discount store customers in Taiwan. By leveraging the company‘s sourcing capabilities, the domestic sales/import team introduced +1,000 products to Taiwan consumers that were exclusively sourced for the export market originally. Below we describe the industries in which the Company engages by trading business and by main product category:

  1. Current status of trading business

From the early import-substitution policy and export expansion policy in the 1960s to the current policy of trade liberalization and internationalization, Taiwan has experienced rapid trade expansion. During a period of 19 years spanning from 1993 to 2011, Taiwan's total import/export trade has continued to see substantial growth (see table below). In recent years, trading activities with mainland China have become increasingly important given the emergency of China as the world‘s manufacturing hub. In 2011 and 2012 Taiwan's the amount of export to China accounted for 40% and 39% of the island's total exports, and import from China amounted to 16% of total imports for both 2011 and 2012.

Test Rite Group has aggressively expanded its presence in China. Since Shanghai trading subsidiary was founded in 2005, the Group has maintained a solid relationship with Chinese suppliers. In 2006, the company opened its Shenzhen office to tap into the vast supplier/vendor network in the Pearl River Delta and Southern China. Most recently, Test-Rite further entrenched its presence in Shenzhen by acquiring 100% stake in International Art, a trading company specializes in the design and sourcing of Seasonal and Home Décor products.

Rising consumer demand in Taiwan and China also offers another growth opportunity for Test-Rite. The company is the agent for home furnishing/home décor/other home related products such as Frette, La-Z-Boy, Joseph Joseph, OXO, 7[th] Generation, and Joyoung. The company intends to further strengthen its agent brand portfolio and leverage its retail channels Hola and TLW to gain additional access to the rapidly growing consumer market in Taiwan and China.

The overall business operation of an import/export business can be more complex relative to other industries. The major factors that affect trading business include FOREX fluctuations and non-economic barriers to trade such as government policy, trade protectionism, customs, and regional alliances. The fluctuations of exchange rates can be regarded as the main factor that would affect the profitability, i.e. margins of the trading business, where as non-economic barriers can create challenging hurdles especially when expanding overseas presence in various markets.

Regional economic integration has become the mainstream of international trade and economic development at present. And with the formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and later the Association of Southeast Asian nations (ASEAN), when combined with the increasing frequency of cross-strait trades, the trading sector in Taiwan is now facing a new challenge. In the following we present our view of Taiwan's current trade development from the viewpoints of trade concentration, development of triangular trade, increasing scale and internationalization of customers and the trends toward multi-function trading companies.

A Degrees of export/import concentration have increased while trading with Asian countries have become more frequent

Taiwan has forged closer trading relations with major partners such as China (including Hong Kong) and ASEAN countries According to statistics compiled by the Department of Statistics, Ministry of Finance, in 2012,. Exports to China for the year amounted to US$118.7 billion, a decline of 4.3%YoY and imports from China were valued at US$43.6 billion, a drop of 3.76%. As for ASEAN nations, total exports in 2012 were US$50.74 billion, up 22.7% YoY. As for Japan, total imports were US$52.20 billion, an increase of 0.5% YoY. Despite the YoY decline in 2012, exports from Taiwan to China have increase 1.2 x since 2003 and nearly 2.4x for imports. In fact, the trading activity will likely to be even more frequent between Taiwan and China, following the signing of Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) in 2009.

In 2012, the top three countries/regions for Taiwan's exports are: China/Hong Kong, ASEAN countries, United States; the top three countries/regions from which Taiwan imports are: Japan, China/Hong Kong, ASEAN countries.

B Proportion of triangular trade has increased

The Majority of Taiwanese trading companies are small to medium in size and have performed well historically, given their wealth of experience in foreign trade, knowledge and flexibility in operations, and the relative political stability of Taiwan in the past several decades relative to Southeast Asian countries and China. In recent years, labor intensive manufacturing businesses have graduated shifted their operational base out of Taiwan. Likely destinations include China and other ASEAN nations, which offer tax benefits and skilled, yet low cost labor. This has shifted the fundamentals the trading sector as companies begin to source from suppliers outside of Taiwan, resulting in the increase in triangular trade.

Moreover, distributors and retailers serving consumers in end markets have benefited from increase in scalability and internalization. As a result, the supply and demand structure of the upstream and downstream sectors of trading sector in Taiwan have shifted to accommodate the change in the competitive landscape. In fact, trading companies must rely on triangular trade to thrive and to seek cheaper resources from overseas markets in order to fill the void left by the loss of price competitiveness as manufacturing base relocate to China and ASEAN regions.

  • C Impact on Taiwan's trading sector due to the growth in size of manufacturers, trading companies and retailers

Following decades of industrial development both at home and abroad, manufacturers have benefited from significant increase in production scale. Given the increase in scale, large manufacturers has benefitted from more efficient production given lower production and labor costs, while improving their relationships with key customers. Larger trading companies too are also able leverage development of global trades and benefit from scalable logistics and procurement capabilities. However, this scenario enervates the impact for small and medium trading companies, who are forced to accept lower margins with higher complexity for single orders such as smaller quantity and higher SKUs compared with more mainstream, scalable and repeatable orders.

The rapid development of sales channels has also contributed to the growth of large multinational retail chains. These large retailers have not only gained dominating pricing powers; their transnational procurement activities have also contributed to domestic traders developing multinational logistics and procurement services, thereby furthering increasing the speed of the transformation of the trading business where smaller players are phased out..

  • D Trading firms are equipped with multiple functions such as after-sales services, warehousing and logistics

As global retailers continue to increase in size, they are able to gain bargaining leverage on their suppliers, which include manufacturers, distributors and trading

-59-

companies. Consequently, these global retailers continues to demand better pricing, the newest and exclusive designs, and other services such as financing, and logistic.

As such, role player traditional companies have evolved from companies providing simple buy and sell functions to companies with multi-national and multi-functional teams that able to provide services such as product marketing, warehouse logistics, QA/QC, and after sale customer service.

Taiwan's trade industry is expected to benefit from the signing of Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) with China. As economic activities increase, Taiwanese trading companies can benefit from their experience in international trade to strengthen communication between multi-national retailers (customers) and various players along the supply chain.

Trading companies are also well positioned to benefit from to develop additional brand licensing opportunities to tap the fast growing demand of Chinese consumers. For Test-Rite, we have already partnered with various global houseware/product brands, including La-Z-Boy, 7th Generation, Umbra, Bissell, Joseph Joseph, and OXO for Taiwan and China markets.

  1. Principal trading

Test Rite major products include hand tools (including hand tools and gardening tools; which account for 20% of total revenue) and household items (including sanitary equipment, automo supplies, fireplace equipment and supplies, furniture, Christmas and seasonal products, and barbecue utensils; which account for 60% of total revenue), making Test Rite the largest professional hand tools and household products trading company in Taiwan. Below we provide further analysis on the Company's key product offerings.

The regions with the highest demand for hand tools and household products are the developed countries, with North America and Europe representing nearly 70% of the export markets for hand tools. Typically, hand tools have been relatively stable and mature in terms of their types and forms, with relatively less needs for innovation. In recent years, multifunction tools have enjoyed phenomenal growth. However, in order to create market demand, the trend is for hand tools and household products to include multiple functions that is combined with unique designs and made with differentiating materials/colors/shapes. And in several instances, creative marketing campaigns are aligned/partnered with globally appealing pop culture there by create demand various products.

Apart from certain manufacturers of brand-name bathroom and sanitary equipment and automotive repair supplies, most of the manufacturers of these products remain relatively smaller in size. In fact, they do not have the scale or resources to brand their products nor do they have the advantages of retail operators with sales channels that have access to retail customers. In terms of manufacturers of hand tools, Japanese and German companies possess dominant technologies, though Taiwan also enjoys a high degree of competitiveness at the global level. However, China, India, and countries in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe have flourished in the hand tools industry in recent years, as they introduced low- to medium priced products.

Although the export value of furniture, bedding and lighting equipment has declined gradually over the years due to fierce competition in the market, in 2010 the industry has rebounded with the recovery of the economy. While products in these categories are quite mature, the size of the market remains quite substantial, with largest demand originating from North America and Asia.

  • (2) Industry's upstream, midstream, and downstream relationships

  • Trading industry's upstream, midstream, and downstream relationships

The main function of the trading industry is to broker trades and bridge gaps between supply and demand. The upstream and downstream structures vary depending on the types of products traded, but below is an example of the structure for trading companies that sources finished goods and sells them to distributors and/or retailers:

Upstream Midstream Downstream
Manufacturers Trading firms Distributors
around the and retailers
world
Tradingfirms Tradingfirms

The so-called 'barriers to information access' is mainly geographic isolation and regulatory restrictions as well as the need of upstream and downstream vendors for working capital, as well advantages to either buyers or sellers as a result of product characteristics or structure of the sales channel. This situation requires trading companies to bridge the gap of potential sellers and potential buyers of products.

Upstream, i.e. manufacturers or suppliers, are no longer confined to only one country or one region. As a result, sourcing products from upstream manufacturers or suppliers are increasingly complex, especially when factors such as rising labor cost in China is adding pressure to the supply chain to look for alternatives in order to diversify/or reduce reliance on manufacturers or suppliers in one country. Overall, today's trading companies play an increasingly important role in global economic activities and have deepening relationships with both upstream and downstream vendors..

2 Upstream, midstream and downstream relationships for hand tools and household products industries

The upstream suppliers of trading companies in hand tools and household products are the manufacturers, and the corresponding downstream customers are various channel distributors and retailers. Trading companies receive purchase orders from downstream customers by through product marketing and via exhibitions. Trading companies then place orders with their upstream manufacturers and are also responsible for arranging transportation, delivery, distribution, and warehousing services.

Most often, upstream manufacturers of hand tools and household products are often smaller operations, and they aim to sell products quickly with the intermediary services provided by trading companies. As for large downstream retailers, the benefit of placing orders with trading companies with sufficient economies of scale would mean a more streamlined ordering process. Larger trading companies can provide services beyond just order fulfillment but ―Total Solution Services‖ that include packaging, logistics, warehousing, and potentially financing services. The relationships of traders with their upstream, midstream and downstream partners are depicted in the following diagram:

In order to provide customers with comprehensive services and identify new sourcing opportunities in local markets, trading companies often open branch offices in both domestic and overseas markets. Trading companies have also provide OEM or ODM products for downstream customers and some trading companies have created or acquired own brands to add to their distribution channels along with the existing products they already source for global retail customers. In addition, trading companies can also increase their on size/scalability by acquire special niche players to bolster their our product portfolio. The most recent example for Test-Rite is the 1Q13 acquisition of International Art, a Christmas and seasonal specialist based in Shenzhen, China.

  • (3) Developing Trends

With global economies becoming more interdependent, combine with the rise of large scale discount chains, hypermarkets in the retail industry, the trading industry will likely face increasingly more challenging competitive landscape in the future. Only by seeking to provide more value added and efficient services, while expanding the size of its own operations and enhancing product and service offerings, can trading companies survive the challenges that lie ahead. Future trends of the trading industries include the following: 1. Specialization in Products and Customer Services

As competition becomes more intense, the role of trading companies must evolve beyond order fulfillment functions including sourcing and re-selling. Many larger trading companies already evolved to become full service suppliers by provide product consultation and after-sales service as well as logistics and distribution functions. Since these services often involve specialized products, trading companies have also become more focused in specific product categories with complete product lines in order to demonstrate their specialization and competency.

2 New markets and new competitors following accession to WTO the signing of ECFA and the signing of FTA between China, Japan and South Korea.

Global trade liberalization remains a key force driving the changes for the competitive landscape for trading companies. Following Taiwan's accession to WTO as a full member, once trade practices are deemed unfair or damaging to Taiwanese businesses can be resolved through the WTO. This enables all parties involved to have effective access to international trade regulations and trends in a more regulated environment thereby mitigating regulatory risk of trading and investing activities. Following the signing of Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), economic activities between

-62-

Taiwan and mainland China have flourished and cross-strait trade and investment opportunities have become increasingly accessible. But as China, Japan and South Korea held the first round of FTA negotiation in March 2013, there will likely be negative impact on the competitiveness of Taiwanese businesses. Taiwan government will need to accelerate negotiations on economic cooperation agreements with other countries in order to mitigate this impact and further eliminations of trade barriers will likely presents trading companies with many different challenges and opportunities. These include increased pressure from overseas competitors, threats from expansion of emerging markets and more transparent information of competitors and suppliers in other markets.

3 Applications to accommodate e-Commerce

Use of the Internet has already become commonplace among enterprises. As such, online (i.e., electronic) procurement has become the new norm. According to a study conducted by the Aberdeen Group, successfully adopting electronic procurement will enable an enterprise to lower the procurement cost by 70% compared with a more traditional approach. Major manufacturers both in Taiwan and abroad, including industry giants such as IBM and Intel, are aggressively pursuing the implementation of electronic procurement systems and electronic component trading with their upstream and downstream partners.

Following the completion of the Taiwan Product Procurement Portal by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), a total of 180,000 importers and exporters began to conduct transactions in the B2B e-Commerce market. The ministry has also made available subsidies from the Trade Promotion Fund to trade associations in the following industries: machinery, automobiles, computers, electronics, electromechanical, and textiles. The purpose of the subsidies is to implement specialized websites (ICP) to propel the trading practices of Taiwan into the Internet era.

While value-added services such as logistics, distribution, and after-sales services cannot be completely replaced by the lower cost procurement offered by online sourcing, trading companies will need to develop its own online strategy in order to prevent being replaced, or circumvented, by global retailers desire to go direct to manufacturers to fulfill lower cost sourcing needs. Test-Rite has its on e-market place platform developed by our subsidiary B&S Link. The platform enables full range of of order fulfillment services to both our customers and suppliers.

4 the Capabilities of Manufacturers

With the liberalization of global trade, distributors and retailers have undergone significant changes in terms of their business structures. They have evolved from traditionally small, regional based, or brick-and-mortal sales points in the past, to larger companies that have gained siable economies of scale that enjoys significant operating leverage while becoming multi-national or global entities.

Under these market conditions, smaller manufacturers can work with larger trading companies to become a partner of trading companies‘ net work of suppliers. This will enable smaller manufacturers to leverage the service platform established by the trading companies and at the same time minimize the financial pressure from tougher payment terms demanded by larger, global retailers. Smaller manufacturers can also leverage trading companies‘ logistics capabilities and services or even act as representatives for functions such as product sales, warehousing and distribution.

(4) Competition Status

Currently there are no competitors of comparable size in Taiwan as Test-Rite is the largest trading company in Taiwan. However, there are still many small and medium trading companies in the North American and European markets (which are much smaller than the Company in terms of the size of business operations). Large trading companies such as Test Rite will be able to widen the gap versus small and medium trading firms given their relative scale, add on services such as QA/QC, logistics, and warehousing capabilities.

A. Export Markets

In 2012, U.S. economy continue to recover from the financial crisis as unemployment rate continues to decline and the property market saw meaningful price recovery, especially in the 2H12. As the economy in the U.S. rebounded ahead of other developed markets, North American region accounted for 51% of our principle trading‘s shipment. Conversely, the stagnant demand outlook for much of the Eurozone has led to further declines of shipments in 2012, which dropped to 13% of our principle trading‘s shipments. The Asian domestic consumption markets continue to grow amidst brisk economic development. With the trading arm of Test Rite being present in every corner of the world, the Company will be able to take the initiative to provide comprehensive services to customers in the retail sector and benefit from the growing markets.

Currently, hand tools account for approximately 20% of the Company's total export revenue, while electrical appliances and household products represent about 3.9% and 58.4%, respectively.

The training results are periodically evaluated to provide the basis for the drafting of the next program.

  • A. Management training: The courses are designed and categorized based on the skills required for the different levels of leadership management. Basic-level management courses focus on personnel management, with the aim of training internal lecturers, who will pass down the company‘s management philosophy and culture, based on the concept of leaders mentoring leaders. These courses include the roles and duties of executives, performance management, motivation, and interpersonal communication for executives. Mid-level management courses concentrate on teamwork and creating synergy through self-regulated team learning. Furthermore, the Action Learning technique is introduced for trainees to learn to simultaneously address organizational issues and fully apply what they have learned to their work. Examples include courses that teach trainees to establish teamwork, how to cultivate employees‘ potential, etc. High-level management courses are designed with an emphasis on forward-looking strategic thinking and self-improvement. Senior management is given advice on the operation of the company by the board members, with external consultants hired to help inspect the situations encountered and come up with countermeasures, in an effort to enable senior management to continue to develop strategies and look ahead as it endeavors to expand the company. At the same time, the company attaches much importance to the self-improvement of its senior executives. Based on individual needs, they are sent to participate in external humanistic and leadership training programs.

  • B. Specialized training: Specialized training roadmaps are drawn up based on various key specialized functions. A series of specialized courses on subjects including purchasing, marketing, and trading are designed for both beginners and advanced learners. In recent years, career roadmaps have been formulated to encourage employees to develop a second specialty and accumulate different kinds of

-69-

specialized experience. In addition, to enable employees to quickly adapt themselves to external changes, apart from internal training sessions the company periodically sends employees to external training sessions or workshops, in an attempt to raise their awareness of market changes and maintain their level of specialized skills. Moreover, the company provides employees with the opportunity to work overseas and subsidizes their foreign language learning expenses.

C. General knowledge training and orientation: Various general knowledge courses for various levels of the management are designed based on individual employees‘ general knowledge functions, with the aim of helping them improve their efficiency. These courses include communication skills, presentation skills, work management, problem analysis and resolution, and customer service. The company attaches much importance to employees‘ level of identification with the company‘s culture. During orientation, senior executives personally introduce the company‘s development and strategies. Courses are also designed to introduce the company‘s values, so that employees understand that the company values ‗honesty, responsibility, and humility.‘ In addition, a mentor system has been introduced to provide continuous attention to new employees and help them to quickly adapt to the company‘s environment.

Additionally, the company has introduced a digital learning platform, and developed a wide variety of e-learning courses to provide employees with diverse learning channels and resources.

The provisions of the Labor Standards Act apply to the Company, and labor-related affairs are carried out in accordance with this Act. An employee suggestion box has been set up to take into consideration the opinions of employees and to address their complaints, as well as to solicit feedback and recommendations from them as the basis for improving the Company's operations going forward. Since the Company has always attached great importance to employee welfare and valued two-way communication with employees, we have had very amicable labor relations since the Company's inception and there have not been any incidents of labor dispute.

  1. Fulfillment of labor rights and interests

The Company has established a set of human resources management guidelines and has been reinforcing the rules contained therein to protect the rights and interests of our employees.

  • (2) As of the current fiscal year up to the date of publication of the annual report, all losses due to labor disputes shall be reported and the estimated amount of losses likely to occur at present and in the future as well as corresponding measures adopted by the Company shall be disclosed. If it is not possible to provide a reasonable estimate, the reasons should be clearly stated:

  • For the past two years and up to the present, the Company has suffered no losses due to labor disputes. It is difficult to provide a reasonable estimate to current or future losses. However, the Company is committed to strengthening communication with employees and we intend to maintain benefit programs that are satisfactory to them so as to promote more harmonious labor relations and to reduce the likelihood of any labor disputes in the future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders Test-Rite International Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Test-Rite International Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the ―Company‖) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders‘ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended (all expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars). 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 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 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

March 28, 2013

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the auditors’ report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail. Also, as stated in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the additional footnote disclosures that are not required under generally accepted accounting principles were not translated into English.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language financial statements shall prevail. However, the accompanying financial statements do not include English translation of the additional footnote disclosures that are not required under generally accepted accounting principles but are required by the Securities and Futures Bureau for their oversight purposes.

-88-

The Company‘s significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Principle of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Test-Rite and its subsidiaries (see Note 1). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. For the information about the subsidiaries and reasons for not including in consolidated financial statements in 2012 and 2011, please see Note 1.

  • a. The subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements for 2012 and 2011: All subsidiaries were included.

  • b. The difference in the fiscal period between parent company and subsidiaries: None.

  • c. Special risks of business operation of subsidiaries overseas: None.

Foreign Currencies

The financial statements of foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates:

  • a. Assets and liabilities - at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date;

  • b. Shareholders‘ equity - at historical exchange rates;

  • c. Dividends - at the exchange rate prevailing on the dividend declaration date; and

  • d. Income and expenses - at average exchange rates for the year.

Exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations are recognized as a separate component of shareholders‘ equity. Such exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which the foreign operations are disposed of.

Non-derivative foreign-currency transactions are recorded in bookkeeping currency at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange differences arising from settlement of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency monetary assets and liabilities are revalued using prevailing exchange rates and the exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

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 treated as follows:

  • a. Recognized in shareholders‘ equity if the changes in fair value are recognized in shareholders‘ equity; b. Recognized in profit and loss if the changes in fair value are 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.

If the functional currency of an equity-method investee is a foreign currency, translation adjustments will result from the translation of the investee‘s financial statements into the reporting currency of the Company. Such adjustments are accumulated and reported as a separate component of shareholders‘ equity.

-89-

Accounting Estimates

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

Current/Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash and cash equivalents, and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. All other assets such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are classified as noncurrent. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents, consisting of commercial paper, bank acceptances and repurchase agreements collateralized by bonds, are highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three months or less when acquired and with carrying amounts that approximate their fair values.

Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss, Current

Financial instruments classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (―FVTPL‖) include financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability on its balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset is derecognized when the Company has lost control of its contractual rights over the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value plus transaction cost. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized directly in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. Cash dividends received subsequently (including those received in the year of investment) are recognized as income for the year. On derecognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable or consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

Derivatives that are not subject to measurement under hedge accounting are classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The positive fair values of derivatives are recognized as financial assets; negative fair values are recognized as financial liabilities.

Marketable securities are stated at the closing price at the balance sheet date. The fair value of open-end mutual fund, oversea mutual fund and REITs are the published fair value per unit at the balance sheet date. The fair value of bonds is determined by prices quoted by the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market.

-90-

Impairment of Accounts Receivable

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.

Factoring of Accounts Receivable

According to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 33 ―Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,‖ a transfer of financial assets (all or a portion of a financial asset) in which the transferor surrenders control over those financial assets shall be accounted for as a sale to the extent that consideration other than beneficial interests in the transferred assets is received in exchange.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by category, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related categories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded using the moving average method; the allowance for inventory devaluation is established by examining the inventory aging and turnover ratio on the balance sheet date.

Real estate and construction in progress are stated at carrying cost or construction cost by construction project. Interest is capitalized during the construction period.

Constructions in progress and advance construction receipts related to the same construction should be netted. If the netted amount is a debit balance, then it should be recorded in construction in progress, whereas credit balance should be recorded in advance construction receipts.

Long-term Equity Investments at Equity Method

Investments in companies in which the Company‘s ownership interest is 20% or more, or where the Company can exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Under the equity method of accounting, the cost of investment is allocated to the assets and liabilities of the investee on the basis of their fair values at the date of investment, and the excess of the cost of the investment over the fair value of identifiable net assets, representing goodwill, is not amortized but tested for impairment annually.

If an investee company issues new shares and the Company does not purchase new shares proportionately, then the ownership percentage and the equity in net assets of the investee will be changed. Such difference will be adjusted in the additional paid-in capital and the long-term equity investments accounts. If the adjustment stated above is to debit the additional paid-in capital account and the balance of additional paid-in capital from long-term equity investments is not enough to be offset, retained earnings will be debited for the remaining amount.

-91-

If the Company‘s share of an investee company‘s losses equals to or exceeds the carrying amount of an investment accounted for under the equity method and the Company guarantees obligations of an investee company, or is otherwise committed to provide further financial support to an investee company, or an investee company‘s losses are temporary and there exists sufficient evidence showing imminent return to profitable operations, then the Company continues to recognize investment losses in proportion to the stock ownership percentage. Such credit balance on the book value of long-term equity investments is treated as a liability on the balance sheet.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial assets. After initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and the changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recorded as an adjustment to stockholders‘ equity. When the financial assets are derecognized, the related accumulated fair value changes are recognized in the profit or loss. All regular way purchase or sale of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

Marketable securities are stated at the closing price at the balance sheet date. Open-end mutual fund and REITs are stated at the published fair value per unit at the balance sheet date.

The recognition, derecognition and the fair value base of available-for-sale financial assets are similar to those of financial assets at FVTPL.

Cash dividends are accounted for as reductions of the carrying amount of the investment if they are received in the year of acquisition; otherwise, they are recognized as dividend revenue if received after the year of acquisition. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares and do not affect investment income or the carrying amount of the investment.

When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognized directly in equity and there is objective evidence showing that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognized directly in equity shall be removed from equity and recognized in profit or loss.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Equity instruments, including unlisted stocks, are measured by the original cost since their fair value cannot be reliably measured. The accounting treatment for dividends received is similar to that for available-for-sale financial assets.

An impairment loss is recognized if there is objective evidence of impairment and the impairment loss can not be reversed.

Bond Investments Without Active Market

Bond investments with fixed or determinable payments and with no quoted prices in an active market are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. They are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Profit or loss is recognized when the financial assets are derecognized, impaired, or amortized. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are accounted for using a trade date basis.

An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired. The impairment loss is reversed if an increase in the investment‘s recoverable amount is due to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized; however, the adjusted carrying amount of the investment may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the investment in prior years.

-92-

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures that would increase the value or extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Interest is capitalized during the construction period.

Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is charged to non-operating income or expenses.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives of the assets. Property, plant and equipment still in use beyond their original estimated useful lives are further depreciated over their new estimated useful lives.

Buildings and improvements 3-60 years Machinery and equipment 2-20 years Transportation equipment 3-5 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 3-10 years Leasehold improvements 3-20 years Molds and tools 2-10 years Other equipment 3-17 years

Impairment loss is recognized immediately for any significant decline in the value of property, plant and equipment. If the loss is reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount should 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 immediately recognized as gain.

Intangible Assets

Computer software is amortized on the straight-line method over 3 to 5 years. Patents are amortized by the straight-line method over a five-year period.

Impairment of Assets

If the recoverable amount of an asset (mainly property, plant and equipment, 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 treated as a deduction to the unrealized revaluation increment.

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 on 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 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 (―CGU(s)‖) 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.

-93-

For long term equity investments for 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.

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges are amortized on the straight-line method over 2 to 5 years.

Allowance for Indemnity Losses on Export

The indemnity losses on export sales should be estimated and expensed at the time of sale. Allowance for indemnity losses on export is debited when the indemnity losses are paid and indemnity losses paid in excess of the allowance for indemnity losses on export are charged to expense.

Convertible Preferred Stocks

Convertible preferred stocks should be accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 36, ―Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.‖ Embedded derivatives, such as conversion option and put option with economic characteristics and risks that are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract are separated from the host contract. Conversion option, giving stockholders contractual right to receive a fixed number of the Company‘s common stock for a fixed stated principal amount of the preferred stocks, is initially recognized at fair value as ―capital surplus - conversion option.‖ Put option is initially recognized as ―financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.‖ When fair value is subsequently measured, the changes in fair value are recognized in current income. The carrying value of host contract is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and recognized as ―liability component of preferred stock;‖ the related interest expense is recognized in current income.

When the preferred stockholders exercise the conversion option, the Company shall adjust the carrying value of ―financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss‖ to fair value and ―liability component of preferred stock‖ to amortized cost by the effective interest rate method. The aforesaid carrying value of the preferred stocks and put option is credited to capital stock accounts as well as ―capital surplus - conversion option.‖

If the preferred stockholders can exercise put option within one near year after the balance sheet date, liability component of preferred stocks and the embedded derivative shall be classified as current liabilities. However, when the put option expires, unexercised liability component of preferred stocks and the embedded derivatives shall be reclassified to noncurrent liabilities.

If the put option expires without exercise, the carrying amount of the put option is reclassified to capital surplus if the market value of convertible share is higher than the strike price; otherwise, the put option shall be credited or charged to current income.

Retirement Plan

Pension cost under a defined benefit plan is determined by actuarial valuations. If the amount contributed to the plan assets by the employer is less than the net pension cost, then the difference shall be recognized as an accrued pension liability; and if the amount contributed is larger, then the difference shall be recognized as a prepaid pension cost. If the amount of additional liability does not exceed the sum of unrecognized prior service cost and unrecognized transitional net benefit obligation, then the deferred pension cost account shall be charged; if the amount of additional liability exceeds the sum, the excess shall be charged to the net loss not yet recognized as net pension cost account.

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

-94-

Contributions made under a defined contribution plan are recognized as pension cost during the year in which employees render services.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is Test-Rite‘s own stock acquired according to the Stock Exchange Law. When Test-Rite does not dispose or write off these stocks, their cost is listed as a deduction of stockholders‘ equity.

When treasury stock is retired, the capital surplus - additional paid-in capital account and capital stock account should be debited according to the ratio of the retired treasury shares to the total issued shares. If the book value of the treasury stock being retired exceeds the sum of its aggregate par value and capital surplus - additional paid-in capital, the excess is debited to capital surplus from treasury stock transactions. If the capital surplus is not enough for debiting purposes, the difference is debited to unappropriated retained earnings. If the book value of the treasury stock being retired is less than the sum of its aggregate par value and capital surplus - additional paid-in capital, the difference is credited to the capital surplus from treasury stock transactions.

Treasury stocks transferred to employees on or after January 1, 2008 are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 39 (SFAS No. 39) and Interpretation 2007-266 both issued by the ARDF; accordingly, the Company recognized the value of the reserved shares as an expense. Employee stock options granted are accounted for under SFAS No. 39, which provides that the value of equity instruments granted shall be measured at fair value. And the fair value is based on external pricing experts‘ calculation of fair value of the equity instruments using the applicable pricing model.

Test-Rite measures the fair value of employee stock option granted by Black-Scholes Model. The inputs to the model are the best available estimate of exercise price, expected life, grant-date share price, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The grant date is cash dividends date. If the date of cash dividends should be approved by the Board of Directors, the grant date is the date of directors‘ meeting.

Test-Rite adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 30 ―Accounting for Treasury Stock.‖

Income Tax

The consolidated income tax of the Company is the summary of the income tax of the consolidated entities. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 22, ―Accounting for Income Tax,‖ which require asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income tax. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statements 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 established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

Under the Amended Income Tax Law of the ROC, undistributed earnings of holding company are subject to 10% additional income tax. Such tax is to be reported as income tax expense in the following year when the decision to retain the earnings is made by the stockholders in their meeting.

-95-

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the amount of net income (or loss) attributable to common stock outstanding for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings (or loss) attributable to each share of common stock under the assumption that all dilutive potential common shares have been converted, exercised or that all contingently issuable shares have been issued.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized when title of the products and the risks of ownership are transferred to customers, primarily upon shipment.

Service income is recognized when services have been rendered and the collectability can be reasonably assured.

If the construction period for a long-term contract is more than one year, the percentage-of-completion method is required when estimates of construction profits are reasonably determinable, otherwise the completed-contract method is required. The percentage of completion is measured by the ratio of costs already incurred to the estimated total costs to complete the project. If the construction period is shorter than one year, construction profit is recognized when the contract is completed. If a contract is estimated to bear a loss prior to completion, the full amount of the loss should be recognized immediately.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

3. EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

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 include loans and receivables originated by the Company under the scope of SFAS No. 34. This accounting change did not have any effect on the Company‘s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Operating Segments

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly issued SFAS No. 41, ―Operating Segments.‖ The statement requires that segment information be disclosed based on the information about the components of the Company that management uses to make operating decisions. SFAS No. 41 requires identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 20, ―Segment Reporting.‖ For this accounting change, the Company restated the segment information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 to conform to the disclosures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company should presume that the entire amount of the bonus will be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the bonus by the closing price of the shares at the balance sheet date. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares should be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the shareholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year. Bonuses to employees shall be recognized as expense after the adoption of Interpretation 96-052. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS shall not be adjusted retroactively for the increase in common shares outstanding from stock issuance for employee‘s bonuses.

The basic earnings per share of 2011 was adjusted retroactively for the distribution of stock dividends in 2012.

The appropriations of 2013 earnings had been proposed by the board of directors on March 28, 2013. The proposed appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

Appropriation
Appropriation
Dividends Per Dividends Per
of Earnings Share (NT$)
Legal reserve $
68,954
$ -
Cash dividends 526,055 1.08
Stock dividends - -

The appropriations of 2012 earnings and the amounts of bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors will be resolved by the shareholders in their meeting scheduled for June 17, 2013.

Regarding the 2011 and 2010 retained earnings proposition by the board of directors and the approval of the stockholders, please refer to the Market Observation Post System (―MOPS‖) of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the bonus to employees was $49,200 thousand and $42,674 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration to directors and supervisors was $12,100 thousand and $10,669 thousand, respectively. The bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors represented 8% and 2%, respectively, 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 stockholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of stockholders‘ 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 stockholders‘ meeting.

24. RETAINED EARNINGS

According to the Company Law of the Republic of China and Test-Rite‘s Articles of Incorporation, 10% of Test-Rite‘s earnings, after paying tax and offsetting deficit, if any, shall first be appropriated as legal reserve. The remaining balance, if any, shall be distributed in the following order:

  • b. Bonus to employees - at least 2% or more,

-111-

  • c. The remainder shall then be allocated in accordance with the resolution of the stockholders in their annual meeting.

The dividend policy is designed for the Company to achieve its business plan and at the same time, maintain stockholders‘ benefits. Distribution is made through stock dividends, common stocks from capital surplus and cash dividends. Cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of total distribution. However, if cash dividends per share are less than NT$0.1, stock dividends could be distributed instead of cash dividends.

The income tax returns of Test-Rite for years through 2010 have been examined and approved by the tax authority. The tax authority assessed an additional income tax payable because Test-Rite did not obtain legal evidence for commission expenses and others which Test-Rite reported on its 2006 to 2009 income tax returns. And the tax authority assessed an additional income tax payable because Test-Rite ‗s profit from the sale and leaseback including the income earned from sale of land shall not be exempted which Test-Rite reported on its 2010 income tax returns. Test-Rite did not agree with the decision so it filed an appeal to the tax authority. Test-Rite does not expect the result of the appeal will generate any significant loss to the Company based on its previous experience. Therefore, Test-Rite decided not to record the disputed tax payable on its book.

Market Risk

For a derivative designated as hedging instrument, the gain or loss derived from the fluctuation of interest rate or exchange rate is to be offset by the loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged and thus, the market risk is insignificant.

Liquidity Risk and Cash Flow Risk

Foreign exchange rates embedded in the derivative contracts are fixed at the inception and thus, cash flow risks are insignificant.

The exchange gains on the sale or purchase of derivative financial instruments of $254,391 thousand and $72,241 thousand for the years ended 2012 and 2011, respectively, were recorded under nonoperating income and gains - foreign exchange gain, net.

Approaches and assumptions employed in assessing the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:

  • a. Financial instruments classified as current assets and liabilities will mature within a short period of time. Therefore, they should be recognized at fair value. Fair value recognition can be applied to financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, short-term bank borrowings, short-term bills payable, notes payable, accounts payable, and other financial instruments, etc.

  • b. If the price of marketable securities is obtainable, they should be measured at fair value. Otherwise, other information can be used to estimate these financial securities‘ fair value.

  • c. Fair value of long-term debts is estimated using the present value of future cash flows discounted by the interest rates the company may obtain for similar loans.

-120-

  • d. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is the amount which the Company expects to receive or pay if the Company stops the contracts according to the agreement at the balance sheet date. Generally, the amounts included unrealized gain or loss on outstanding contracts and most of them have reference value from financial organizations.

4) Exemptions from IFRSs 1

IFRS 1, ―First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards,‖ established the procedures for the preparation of the Company‘s first consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs. According to IFRS 1, the Company is required to determine the accounting policies under IFRSs and retrospectively apply those accounting policies in its opening balance sheet at the date of transition to IFRSs (January 1, 2012; the transition date); except for optional exemptions to such retrospective application provided under IFRSs 1. The main optional exemptions the Company adopted are summarized as follows:

a) Business combinations

The Company elected not to apply IFRS 3, ―Business Combinations,‖ retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRSs. Therefore, in the opening balance sheet, the amount of goodwill generated from past business combinations, related assets and liabilities adopted in business combinations, and noncontrolling interests remain the same compared with those under R.O.C. GAAP as of December 31, 2011. This optional exemption is also applicable to the investments in associates.

  • b) Fair value or revaluation amount as deemed cost

The Company revalued parts of its land in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP and used the revalued amount as the deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS. The rest of the property, plant and equipment will be accounted in accordance with IFRSs using the cost model and relevant provisions will be applied retroactively.

The amount of unrealized revaluation increment reclassified to retained earnings on December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2011 was $25,825 thousand.

c) Employee benefits

The Company reclassified all unrecognized accumulated actuarial profit and loss concerning employee benefits plan to retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRSs.

  • d) Cumulative translation differences

The Company elected to set to zero its cumulative translation adjustments in stockholders‘ equity by reclassifying the amount to retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRS.

The Company adopted optional exemptions in accordance with IFRS and reclassified cumulative translation adjustments of $133,069 thousand to retained earnings.

  • e) Property, plant and equipment costs included decommissioning liabilities

At the date of transition to IFRSs, the Company adopted IAS 37, "Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets" which required to measure decommissioning liabilities, and the provision is included in liabilities and in the cost of the relevant assets. Related accumulated depreciation of the assets is adjusted at the date of transition to IFRSs.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amount of decommissioning liabilities of the Company amounted to $51,300 thousand and $49,233 thousand, respectively; recognized decommissioned assets amounted to $33,699 thousand and $34,855 thousand, respectively. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2012, depreciation expense and interest expense increased by $1,156 thousand and $2,067 thousand, respectively.

-130-

f) Share-based payment

The Company elected to take the optional exemption from applying IFRS 2, ―Share-based Payment,‖ retrospectively for the shared-based payment transactions granted and vested before January 1, 2012.

  • 5) Notes to the reconciliation of the significant differences:

The Company-specific areas of possible material differences between the existing accounting policies and the accounting policies to be adopted under IFRSs were as follows:

  • a) Under R.O.C. GAAP, valuation allowance is provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. In accordance with IAS No. 12, ―Income Taxes,‖ deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits and the valuation allowance account is no longer used.

In addition, under R.O.C. GAAP, a deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred income tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled. Under IFRSs, a deferred tax asset or liability is classified as noncurrent asset or liability.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from deferred income tax assets to noncurrent assets were $38,635 thousand and $28,712 thousand, deferred income tax liabilities to noncurrent liabilities were $0 thousand and $12,000 thousand, respectively.

  • b) Short-term employee benefits under R.O.C. GAAP are not expressly stipulated and usually recorded when paid. After the date of transition to IFRS, it is recognized as an expense when employees provided services to increase their paid vacation.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company increased accounts payable by $16,796 thousand and $23,107 thousand for short-term employee benefits. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company increased ―operating expenses - general and administrative‖ by $8,189 thousand.

  • c) According to SFAS No. 18, the unrecognized transition obligation at the first adoption of SFAS No. 18, ―Accounting for Pension,‖ should be amortized over the expected remaining working lives of employees. On the date of transition to IFRSs, the retained earnings should be adjusted for unrecognized transition obligation.

Under R.O.C. GAAP, when using the corridor approach, actuarial gains and losses should be amortized over the expected average remaining working lives of the participating employees. Under IAS No. 19, ―Employee Benefits,‖ the Company elects to recognize actuarial gains and losses immediately in full in the period in which they occur, as other comprehensive income. The subsequent reclassification to earnings is not permitted.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company performed the actuarial valuation under IAS No. 19, ―Employee Benefits,‖ and recognized the valuation difference directly to retained earnings under the requirement of IFRS 1; accrued pension cost was adjusted for an increase of $44,042 thousand and $114,936 thousand, respectively. Deferred pension cost was adjusted for a decrease of $376 thousand and $19,692 thousand, respectively. Net loss not recognized as pension costs was adjusted for an increase of $59,870 thousand and $104,021 thousand, respectively. Pension cost and actuarial losses of defined benefit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was also adjusted for a decrease of $$5,787 thousand and $6,823 thousand, respectively.

-131-

  • d) Under R.O.C. GAAP, provisions for estimated sales returns and others are recognized as a reduction in revenue in the period, the related revenue is recognized based on historical experience. Allowance for sales returns and others is recorded as a deduction in accounts receivable. Under IFRSs, the allowance for sales returns and others is a present obligation with uncertain timing and an amount that arises from past events and is therefore reclassified as provisions (classified under current liabilities) in accordance with IAS No. 37, ―Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.‖

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from allowance for sales returns and others to provisions were $1,822 thousand and $30,090 thousand, respectively.

  • e) Under R.O.C. GAAP, when the nature of the lessee‘s sale and leaseback transaction is operating lease, the profit from the sale and leaseback is required to be recognized and deferred evenly during the lease term. The present value of total rental is compared to the fair value of sold asset; excess of present value of rental is immediately recognized as loss and excess of fair value is the deferred amount. Under IFRSs, if the sale price is fair value, the sale and leaseback should be recognized immediately to the profit or loss; sale price is higher than the fair value should be deferred and expect to be amortized over lease term.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company adjusted to reduce unrealized gain in the amount of $923,942 thousand and $1,108,731 thousand, respectively. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2012, the amortization increased the lease costs by $184,789 thousand.

  • f) Under R.O.C. GAAP, when the reward points are generated, the liabilities and marketing costs should be estimated and recognized. Under IFRSs, part of the sales revenue is reward point revenue; fair value of sales of goods and reward point is the basis in calculating the revenue; when the convertible obligation actually materialized or failed, the related award points should be recognized as revenue.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, deferred reward points revenues were $193,002 thousand and $197,870 thousand, respectively. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2012, due to the realized convertible obligations, revenue was recognized for $4,868 thousand.

  • g) Under R.O.C. GAAP, the term ―Cash and cash equivalents‖ used in the financial statements includes cash on hand, demand deposits, check deposits, time deposits that are cancellable but without any loss of principal and negotiable certificates of deposit that are readily salable without any loss of principal. However, under IFRSs, cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Some certificates of deposit the Company held had maturity of more than three months from the date of investment; therefore, they were reclassified from cash and cash equivalents to other financial assets.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from cash and cash equivalents to other financial assets were $0 thousand and $2,000 thousand, respectively.

  • h) By the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers for land revaluation increment tax payable should be classified as long-term liabilities. According to IFRS, if an entity elected to use the revaluation amount of land as the deemed cost under its first-time adoption of IFRS, the related reserve for land revaluation increment tax must be reclassified into deferred income tax liabilities - land value increment tax.

-132-

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amount of reserve for land revaluation increment tax reclassified to deferred income tax liabilities - noncurrent was $0 thousand and $41,791 thousand, respectively.

  • i) Under R.O.C. GAAP, the acquisition cost of investment is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the date of acquisition, the acquisition cost in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as other tangible assets and goodwill. Under IFRSs, changes in the Company‘s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions, and the adjustment is debited to capital surplus, but if the capital surplus recognized from long-term investments is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings. As of December 31, 2012, retained earnings were adjusted for a decrease of $768,292 thousand, other tangible assets were adjusted for a decrease of $68,737 thousand and goodwill was adjusted for a decrease of $699,555 thousand.

6) Special reserve recognized at the date of transition

According to Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) on April 6, 2012, in the first-time adoption of IFRSs, the Company is required to record special reserve equal to the total amount of unrealized revaluation increments and cumulative translation differences under stockholders‘ equity reclassified to retained earnings in accordance with IFRS 1; however, if the amount of the credit adjustments to retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRSs is smaller than the total amount of unrealized revaluation increments and cumulative translation differences, only the amount of the credit adjustments to retained earnings is reclassified to special reserve. The special reserve is reversed proportionately when using, disposing and reclassifying the related assets. As of January 1, 2012, the amount appropriated to special reserve from cumulative translation differences transferred to retained earnings at the date of first-time adoption of IFRSs was $158,894 thousand. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the special reserve reversed on the disposal of the assets was $148,098 thousand.

  • c. The Company‘s aforementioned assessment is based on the 2010 version of IFRSs translated by the ARDF and on the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers issued by the FSC on December 22, 2011. However, the assessment result may be impacted as the FSC may issue new rules governing the adoption of IFRSs, and as other laws and regulations may be amended to comply with IFRSs. Actual results may differ from these assessments.

Future response plans

Faced with a rapidly changing and competitive landscape, Test-Rite has leveraged its +30 years of success in the trading business while continuing to strengthen our product offerings for our trading customers. These services, encompass product and packaging design, logistics, and storage/warehousing capacitates, enable Test-Rite to provide a Total Solution service that we believe is necessary to further strength or role within the supply to chain to global retail operators. As a result, Test-Rite is able to facilitate cooperative efficiency between our customers and suppliers and create value-added services for our trading partners. Taiwanese and Chinese authorities have extended the tightening of the overheated real estate markets. In fact, the implementation of luxury tax, increase in utility rates and enactment of tax on dividend and interest income are likely to have further adverse impact on household‘s disposable income and consumer demand. However, we remain focused on maintaining our growth momentum in the retail business and plans for additional 5-7 new Hola or TLW opening (2 in Taiwan and 3 to 5 in China) in 2013.

(a)The impact to company‘s profit and loss: The Company's interest expense on loans for the most recent two years, 2011 and 2012, was NT$88,765,000 and NT$88,765,000, respectively. Interest expense on loans has increased over previous year, the main reason was to fund increase in working capital.

(b) Future measurement: Because the profitability of both the Company‘s core business and investment business is sustainable, the amount of debt borrowed can be gradually repaid, financing amounts for future operating needs can be gradually decreased, and interest expenses can be lowered accordingly. The Company shall continue to closely monitor market interest rate trends, adjust its capital structure as needed, allocate capital as efficiently, and lower cost of capital.

(b) Future measurement: The Company is a professional trading company focusing predominantly on export trade. For the most recent fiscal year, our export revenue accounted for approximately 80% of total revenue. We place orders with suppliers as soon as we receive purchase orders from customers. In accordance with the Company's order and sales process, we have adopted a two-way quotation system to shorten the entire order management process and are able to provide quotations that reflect the latest foreign exchange rate trends. In addition, the Company pays close attention to changes of the global economic landscape and fluctuations of foreign exchange rates of major currencies. Our overseas subsidiaries also constantly provide us with local market news and conditions, thereby enabling us to make adjustments to our hedging approaches.

In addition, the Company assesses the market price risk of financial instruments for transaction purposes based on market prices, and establishes stop-loss points based on our risk tolerance level. As for non-transactional financial instruments, since losses incurred from interest or exchange rate fluctuations generally offset the gain or loss of hedged items, market price risk is not significant.

(3) Inflation

Affected by rising costs of energy and raw materials, countries around the world are faced with the threat of inflation. Although inflation has very limited effect on the Company due to the nature of our industry, we will continue to observe its impact closely.

7.6.2 Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions

The Company is committed to the development of our primary business and does not engage in high-risk or highly-leveraged investment activities.

Any loans extended by the Company to third parties require approval by the Board and conducted in compliance with the Company‘s Procedure for Extending Loans to Third Parties. The Company provides guarantees to affiliated enterprises that it owns in excess of 50% in equity and to other enterprises with which it conducts business. The total amount of guarantees and guarantee provided to a single enterprise are well within the allowable limits. We have provided all guarantees in compliance with the Company's Procedure for Providing Guarantees, and they have received prior approval from or are recognized retroactively by the Board. These guarantees are not expected to have a major impact on the Company's financial position.

In addition, with respect to derivatives trading, the Company is an export-oriented trading firm; as such, we engage in hedging measures such as forward foreign exchange and foreign currency option contracts to hedge the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. As option contracts expire, even if the counterparties elect to exercise their contractual obligations, the Company shall conduct settlements with the foreign currency claims that have reached the expiration dates. The market price risk from exchange rate fluctuations and demand for cash in the future have no significant impact on the Company and our counterparties are reputable banks with excellent credit ratings. As a result, the likelihood of credit risk is limited. In addition, the procedure for conducting derivatives trading is compliant with the Company's Procedure for Trading Derivative Instruments, and the amount traded is also within the authorized limits. We also provide monthly reports in accordance with regulations and therefore no significant impact on the Company's financial position is expected.

7.6.3 Future Research & Development Projects and Corresponding Budget None.

7.6.4 Effects of and Response to Changes in Policies and Regulations Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales

As the Company exports mainly to the Americas and Europe, there have not been occurrences of major incidents regarding policy or legislative changes in foreign countries in recent years that have had a major impact on the Company's financial position or business operations.

The Company will continue to improve the access to and collection of business intelligence in our major overseas markets in order gain better control of our business operations and financial position. In addition, the Company's legal department is charged with the responsibility of monitoring major policy and legislative changes at home and abroad in order to be able to propose appropriate response measures for the Company in a timely manner.

7.6.5 Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and in Industry Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales

The Company has established the B&S Link global electronic trading platform, which employs information technology to streamline supply chain management operations. In order to strengthen the partnerships between Test Rite Group, suppliers and banks as well as to improve the overall value of the supply chain and to create a win-win scenario for all parties involved, Test Rite Group are collaborating with a number of banks and the subsidiary B&S Link to offer a comprehensive, convenient and preferential online financing services program to our suppliers, fully integrating information flow, business flow and cash flow. With this platform, we have pioneered a brand new cross-sector cooperative business model.
