TRANSCEND INFORMATION INC. BUSINESS REPORT

Prices of Flash and DRAM steadily decreased in the past year. Instead of making profits from the short-term price changes, manufacturers in the Flash and DRAM industry have the responsibility to find another way to keep the company profitable. As an industry-leading brand of digital storage and industrial products, Transcend has successfully changed up our business plans and created better profits. Last year’s sales revenue increased by 4.2%, and the earnings Per Share (EPS) reached NTD $8.67, a 16.7% increase over the prior year.

Transcend’s consolidated revenue totaled NT$27.2 billion in 2014. Consolidated gross profit totaled NTD $5.54 billion. Gross profit rate is 20.4 percent. Operating income totaled 3.75 billion. Income before tax totaled 4.4 billion. Net income totaled 3.74 billion. EPS is NTD$ 8.67 calculated at the weighted average of outstanding share capital amounting to 4.3 billion.

To satisfy the changing needs in the technology industry, Transcend never stops developing more innovative products ranging from consumer electronics and industrial products. For the eighth year in a row, Transcend Information appears on Interbrand's Best Taiwan Global Brands ranking. At the same time, Transcend has managed to consistently increase the market share in the field of industrial applications. Sales revenue of solid state drives (SSD) reached record high thanks to the sudden surge of demand for SSDs because of the decreasing price. So far, industrial products and strategic products have replaced standard products and become main revenue sources.

Transcend focuses not only on sales performance, but also corporate social responsibility. Through a concerted effort to strengthen information disclosure, Transcend earned the highest A+ ranking in the "Information Disclosure Survey" conducted by the Securities and Futures Institute (SFI) in 2014. Besides, we have sponsored the High School Basketball League (HBL) for consecutive five years. Last year, we received the “Sports Activists Award” from the Sports Affairs Council for our continuing contribution to the development of sports in Taiwan.

Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts of investment income/loss and the information of investee company as disclosed in Note 13, were solely based on the reports of other auditors.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Attachment IV REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR14001518

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Transcend Information, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Transcend Information, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity, and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. As disclosed in Note 4(3)B, we did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2013, which statements reflect total assets of NT$547,456 thousand, constituting 2 percent of the consolidated total assets, as of December 31, 2013, and total revenues of NT$2,748,290 thousand, constituting 11 percent of the consolidated total operating revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2013. Furthermore, we did not audit the financial statements of equity investments accounted for under the equity method. The investment loss from these equity investments amounted to NT$30,403 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013. Those financial statements whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants. As of December 31, 2013, the equity investment accounted for using the equity method was NT$221,255 thousand.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

~19~

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other independent accountants, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transcend Information, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and their financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparations of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Transcend Information, Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and have expressed a unqualified and modified unqualified opinion on such financial statements.
