TRANSCEND INFORMATION, INC. BUSINESS REPORT

Looking back on a turbulent year of 2020, due to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall environment was harsh and the business operational environment encountered great challenges, and particularly, the export channel market was most severely affected by the pandemic. Fortunately, the important functions of research, development and production of Transcend were mostly centralized in the headquarters and factories located in Taiwan. Accordingly, under the severe impact of the pandemic, the Company was still able to maintain stable operation and production system, thereby satisfying the market demands. For the second half of the year, the domestic and foreign markets started to recover their sales dynamics; however, the raw material price was still unstable. Transcend was able to maintain its consistent stable business operation principle, and through reasonable pricing and service, the Company established long-term cooperation with customers, such that the impact of the raw material market fluctuation on the profit of Transcend was reduced. Despite the overall revenue and profit performance of the Company being slightly decreased from the last year, the Company was nonetheless still able to maintain the average whole-year gross margin rate of 21.6%. In addition, the continuous appreciation of NTD was not favorable to the export sales and foreign current position evaluation. Nevertheless, Transcend was able to make early response and had actively adjusted the foreign currency position such that the impact of the foreign exchange was reduced to the minimum. Transcend will continue to improve and transform while seeking advancements and breakthroughs in various aspects. We sincerely appreciate the continuous support and encouragement from all our shareholders, customers, suppliers and employees.

For the year of 2020, the consolidated revenue of Transcend reached NT$11.4 billion, consolidated gross profit was NT$2.47 billion and the gross margin rate was 21.6%; the consolidated operating income was NT$1.21 billion, the net income before tax was NT$1.50 billion and the net income after tax was NT$1.20 billion. Based on the calculation of the share capital of the weighted average number of shares outstanding of NT$ 4.3 billion, the EPS was NT$ 2.79.

To face the rapid changing supply chain and to satisfy the terminal market demands, Transcend continues to focus on the embedded solution and to provide high value-added strategy products. To cope with the increasing demands from 5G, AIoT industries and Stay-at-Home economy, the Company has developed various wide-temperature range, high speed and highly durable industrial grade products. In addition to the introduction of 96-layer 3D flash memories into SSD, to satisfy the demands for edge computing business opportunities, the Company has also developed DDR4 3200 memory modules and continues to implement active planning in various fields of industrial

applications. For the consumer market, the Company is dedicated in the high performance strategy products, including ultra-speed shock resistant mobile SSD series, ESD370C, high speed portable USB JetFlash 920, and CFexpress 820 Type B memory card exclusively for high-end camera recording, etc., in order to satisfy the diverse demands of customers.

With years of commitment in the brand management, Transcend has honorably received numerous grand awards for the Company’s outstanding R&D design, product quality and brand image. This year, the Company has received the honor of “Interbrand’s Top 20 Best Taiwan Global Brands” for the 14th consecutive year and has also achieved the outstanding record of receiving the “Taiwan Excellence Award” for the 17th consecutive year, demonstrating the Company’s remarkable product design capability to the world. In addition to the focus on the core business, the Company also upholds the value of creating a better society and actively invests in corporate resources for returning to the society. Through long-term sponsorship in the youth sports contests and cultivation of youth in domestic and overseas events, the Company looks forward to promoting the sports development in Taiwan, including HBL and HVL, etc., and the Company has received the honor of “Sports Promoter Award” for the 7th consecutive year. In 2020, the Company further received the honor of “Bronze Award in Sponsorship” for the award category, demonstrating the Company’s active involvement and determination in the corporate social responsibility.

Looking into 2021, it is expected to face the industrial environment of demand greater than supply. In the meantime, with the expansion of the embedded applications in the global market, another upcoming growth cycle can be expected. While facing the rapid change of the industrial environment, Transcend will continue to expedite the product research and development, to expand and increase production efficiency and to seek stable supply sources, thereby achieving stable profit for the Company through reasonable pricing strategy and outstanding customer service. In addition, to cooperate with the Corporate Governance 3.0 – Sustainable Development Blueprint promoted by the government, Transcend will also actively engage in the corporate governance and is committed to the corporate sustainable operation, enhancement of functions of board of directors and increase of information transparency, etc., in order to improve international competitiveness of the Company. We look forward to your continuous support of the Company and appreciate your valuable comments and feedbacks. We will continue to contribute efforts and to achieve outstanding performance in all aspects.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR20000144

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

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Transcend Information, Inc. as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit of the parent company only financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020 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; and in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing-1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on February 25, 2020 and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China for our audit of the parent company only financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

~ 13 ~

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2020 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s 2020 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

Evaluation of inventories

Description

Refer to Notes 4(12), 5(2) and 6(5) to the financial statements for the information on the Company’s inventory accounting policy, estimates and assumptions and allowance for inventory valuation losses.

The percentage of the Company’s inventories to total assets is material and the Company applies judgements and estimates in determining the net realizable value of inventories at the balance sheet date. The Company mainly produces DRAM and flash memory. As these products have a short life cycle and belong to a highly competitive industry, the market prices change frequently. Since the Company’s inventories and the allowance for inventory valuation losses are material to the financial statements, the evaluation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  • A. Obtained an understanding of the Company’s operations and industry. Assessed the reasonableness of the policy and procedures to recognize allowance for inventory valuation 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 internal controls over inventory.

  • C. Obtained relevant evaluation reports of inventory and tested the logic and accuracy of information to assess the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses.

~ 14 ~

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. Refer to Notes 4(23) and 6(4) to the parent company only financial statements for the information on the estimation of allowance for sales discount.

Since the contracts are numerous and the result could affect the net revenue in the parent company only financial statements, the estimation of allowance for sales discount has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  • A. Obtained an understanding of the Company’s operations, industry and the procedures to recognize 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 over 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 determined by the Company.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the

~ 15 ~

Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • B. 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.

  • C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • D. 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 auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial

~ 16 ~

statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements. 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 2020 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

Evaluation of inventories

Description

Refer to Notes 4(13), 5(2) and 6(5) to the consolidated financial statements for the information on the Group’s inventory accounting policy, estimates and assumptions and allowance for inventory valuation losses.

The percentage of the Group’s inventories to total assets is material and the Group applies judgements and estimates in determining the net realizable value of inventories at the balance sheet date. The Group mainly produces DRAM and flash memory. As these products have a short life cycle and belong to a highly competitive industry, the market prices change frequently. Since the Group’s inventories and the allowance for inventory valuation losses are material to the financial statements, the evaluation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  • A. Obtained an understanding of the Group’s operations and industry. Assessed the reasonableness of the policy and procedures to recognize allowance for inventory valuation 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 internal controls over inventory.

  • C. Obtained relevant evaluation reports of inventory and tested the logic and accuracy of information to assess the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses.

~24~

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. Refer to Notes 4(24) and 6(4) to the consolidated financial statements for the information on the estimation of allowance for sales discount.

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

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  • A. Obtained an understanding of the Group’s operations, industry and the procedures to recognize 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 over 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 determined by the Group.

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, 2020 and 2019.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and 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

~25~

the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • B. 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.

  • C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

~26~

  • E. 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.

  • F. 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.

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 auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
