TRANSCEND INFORMATION INC. BUSINESS REPORT
In 2017, the global supply of the memory chips was tight and price continued to rise through the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, as the technology of 3D NAND Flash is mature with an improving yield rate, supply and demand for NAND flash products became in a balance and resulted in stable prices. However, DRAM price still kept on the rise due to tight supply. During 2017, Transcend strived to expand products and technologies in diverse applications. In addition to constantly investing in high value-added embedded products for embedded applications, Transcend has heavily developed strategic products to keep solid operating performance in the rapidly changing memory market. Hereby, we would like to thank our valued shareholders, clients, suppliers and employees for your continued supports of Transcend.
Transcend’s consolidated revenue totaled NT$ 21 billion in 2017. Consolidated gross profit totaled NT$ 5.53 billion. Gross profit rate is 26.4 percent. Operating income totaled NT$ 4 billion. Income before tax totaled NT$ 3.31 billion. Net income totaled NT$ 2.66 billion. EPS is NT$ 6.17 calculated at the weighted average of outstanding share capital amounting to 4.3 billion.
With excellent brand management, Transcend has received many prestigious awards by its exceptional product design and brand image. For the eleventh year in a row, Transcend has been ranked as Interband’s Top 20 Best Taiwan Global Brands. Transcend also won Taiwan Excellence Awards for the fourteenth consecutive year and Japan’s Good Design Award for the third year, demonstrating that Transcend’s outstanding product design is internationally recognized.
As a leading brand in the market, continuous innovation and improvement are the driving force behind the growth of Transcend. We have successfully expanded into embedded market in recent years. Besides developing industrial-grade SSDs for embedded applications, Transcend also provides a full range of embedded solutions that are suitable for a variety of demanding industrial environment. For the consumer market, we focused on developing strategic products this year and had successfully penetrated into dash camera and body camera market. We launched new DrivePro Body body camera series tailored for professionals and new series of dash cameras with various practical functions, which creates product differentiation in the market. In addition, Apple Solutions has been the pillar of the strategic product lines. We also released a range of innovative upgrade solutions this year for Apple users looking for greater performance and reliability.

Transcend focuses not only on sales performance, but also on corporate governance. We aim to disclose adequate information in order to provide comprehensive corporate information to our shareholders and investors. For cooperate social responsibility, we have sponsored sport activities in high school and universities, including the High School Basketball League (HBL), University Basketball Association (UBA) and the Black Panther High School Baseball Tournament. We continued to execute the long-term Baseball Mentoring Program aimed at underprivileged school baseball teams for the third year, expecting to serve as a platform for young promising athlete to fulfill their dreams. As a result, we received both “Sports Activists Award” and “Long-term Sponsorship Award” from the Sports Affairs Council this year as our continuing contribution to promote sports in Taiwan.
Looking to 2018, price of DRAM is expected to remain on an upward trend due to supply shortage, while price of NAND Flash will begin to drop and see in an oversupply situation thanks to increased production and improved yield rate. Thus, an effective inventory management and flexible pricing strategy will be the crucial key in the face of price fluctuation and competitive industry environment. Transcend will also strive to build up long-term collaborative relationship with suppliers, maintain healthy inventory level, and review pricing strategy regularly to ensure reasonable prices and to generate profit.
Transcend continues to implement automated productions system as well as optimizes the manufacturing processes and equipment to improve productivity and decrease manufacturing costs. We also leverage various marketing programs to expand into new channels and promote new products in an effort to enhance our brand awareness and create market value. As a multinational enterprise, Transcend pays attention to the internal communication of the company, shares up-to-date market information, keeps information in sync, and ensures that the headquarters policy can be implemented to the entire enterprise to enhance the enterprise competitiveness.
Here again we sincerely thank all of our shareholders, for your continued support and for the confidence that you have placed in us. We will make every effort to keep Transcend operational excellence and look forward to sharing our progress with you.

Attachment III
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Transcend Information, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Transcend Information, Inc. (the “ Company”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparations of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
Basis for opinion
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 (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
~11~
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Evaluation of inventories
Description
Please refer to Notes 4(8), 5(2) and 6(4) to the financial statements for the details of the information about Company’s inventory accounting policy, estimates and assumption and allowance for inventory evaluation losses.
The percentage of the Company’s inventories in total assets is material and the Company applies judgements and estimates in determining the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date. The Company mainly produces DRAM and flash memory, and due to those products having short life cycle and belong to a highly competitive industry, the market prices change frequently. Since the Company’s inventories and the allowance for inventories evaluation losses are material to its financial statements, the evaluation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
-
A. Obtained an understanding of the Company’s operation and industry. Assessed the reasonableness of the policy and procedures to recognize allowance for inventory evaluation losses.
-
B. Obtained an understanding of the Company’s inventory control procedures. Reviewed annual inventory count plan and observed the annual physical count of inventory in order to assess the effectiveness of inventory internal control.
-
C. Obtained relevant evaluation reports of inventory and tested the logic and accuracy of information to assess the reasonableness of allowance for inventory evaluation losses.
~12~
Estimation of allowance for sales discount
Description
In consideration of business volume, the Company provides a variety of business incentives to specific customers or products, and based on that, the Company can estimate the allowance for sales discount monthly. Please refer to Note 6(3) to the financial statements for the details of the information about estimation of allowance for sales allowance.
Since the contracts are numerous and the result could affect the net revenue in the financial statements, the estimation of allowance for sales discount has been identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
-
A. Obtained an understanding of the Company’s operation, industry and the procedure to recognise allowance for sales discount.
-
B. Obtained an understanding of the Company’s sales procedures and interviewed management to assess the appropriateness of sales allowance contracts and internal control on estimation of allowance.
-
C. Obtained the evaluation list of allowance for sales discount, and tested material sales allowance contracts and recalculated it to assess the reasonableness of allowance in the Company’s determination.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparations of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
~13~
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
~14~
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
~15~
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Attachment IV
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR17000300
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Transcend Information, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Transcend Information, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparations of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
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 (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
~22~
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Evaluation of inventories
Description
Please refer to Notes 4(9), 5(2) and 6(4) to the consolidated financial statements for the details of the information about Group’s inventory accounting policy, estimates and assumption and allowance for inventory evaluation losses.
The percentage of the Group’s inventories in total assets is material and the Group applies judgements and estimates in determing the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date. The Group mainly produces DRAM and flash memory, and due to those products having short life cycle and belong to a highly competitive industry, the market prices change frequently. Since the Group’s inventories and the allowance for inventories evaluation losses are material to its financial statements, the evaluation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
-
A. Obtained an understanding of the Group’s operation and industry. Assessed the reasonableness of the policy and procedures to recognize allowance for inventory evaluation losses.
-
B. Obtained an understanding of the Group’s inventory control procedures. Reviewed annual inventory count plan and observed the annual physical count of inventory in order to assess the effectiveness of inventory internal control.
-
C. Obtained relevant evaluation reports of inventory and tested the logic and accuracy of information to assess the reasonableness of allowance for inventory evaluation losses.
~23~
Estimation of allowance for sales discount
Description
In consideration of business volume, the Group provides a variety of business incentives to specific customers or products, and based on that, the Group can estimate the allowance for sales discount monthly. Please refer to Note 6(3) to the consolidated financial statements for the details of the information about estimation of allowance for sales allowance.
Since the contracts are numerous and the result could affect the net revenue in the consolidated financial statements, the estimation of allowance for sales discount has been identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
-
A. Obtained an understanding of the Group’s operation, industry and the procedure to recognise allowance for sales discount.
-
B. Obtained an understanding of the Group’s sales procedures and interviewed management to assess the appropriateness of sales allowance contracts and internal control on estimation of allowance.
-
C. Obtained the evaluation list of allowance for sales discount, and tested material sales allowance contracts and recalculated it to assess the reasonableness of allowance in the Group’s determination.
Other matter –Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Transcend Information, Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
~24~
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparations of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
~25~
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
~26~
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
