TRANSCEND INFORMATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT

ACCOUNTANTS MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013


For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR14000011

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

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Transcend Information, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month periods then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36 “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” in the Republic of China. A review consists primarily of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparations of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and International Accounting Standard No. 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

May 7, 2014 Taipei, Taiwan

Republic of China


The accompanying consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and practices in the Republic of China governing the audit of such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and report of independent accountants are not intended for use by those who are not informed about the accounting principles or auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, and their applications in practice.

As the financial statements are the responsibility of the management, PricewaterhouseCoopers cannot accept any liability for the use of, or reliance on, the English translation or for any errors or misunderstandings that may derive from the translation.

Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the 2013 version of IFRS has no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except for the following:

  • A. IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’

  • The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in OCI classified by nature into two groups on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently when specific conditions are met. If the items are presented before tax then the tax related to each of the two groups of OCI items (those that might be reclassified and those that will not be reclassified) must be shown separately. Accordingly, the Group will adjust its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.

  • B. IFRS 12, ‘Disclosure of interests in other entitles’

  • The standard integrates the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. And, the Group will disclose additional information about its interests in consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities accordingly.

  • For the above items, the Group is assessing their impact on the consolidated financial statements and will disclose the affected amounts accordingly.

5. CRITICALACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The related information is addressed below:

(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

Investment property

The Group uses part of the property for its own use and part to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. When the portions cannot be sold separately and cannot be leased separately under finance lease, the property is classified as investment property only if the own-use portion accounts of the property is not material.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • A. Impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method

The Group assesses the impairment of an investment accounted for using equity method as soon as there is any indication that it might have been impaired and its carrying amount cannot be recoverable. The Group assesses the recoverable amounts of an investment accounted for using equity method based on the present value of expected future cash flows from the investee, and analyzes the reasonableness of related assumptions.

  • B. Realisability of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Assessment of the realisability of deferred tax assets involves critical accounting judgements and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales revenue growth rate and profit rate, tax exempt duration, available tax credits, tax planning, etc. Any variations in global economic environment, industrial environment, and laws and regulations might cause material adjustments to deferred tax assets.

As of March 31, 2014, the Group recognised deferred tax assets amounting to $96,262.

  • C. Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory

~11~

comsumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

As of March 31, 2014, the carrying amount of inventories was $5,974,014.

The Company shall also set aside special reserve in accordance with the regulations. On the premise that there is no effect on the Company’s normal operations and no violation of regulations, the Company shall reserve certain amount for maintaining stability of dividends. The remainder, if any, is distributable earnings. When distributing earnings, the Company shall appropriate 0.2% of the total distributable amount as the directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration. Bonus distributed to the employees shall account for at least 1% of the total distributable earnings. The remainder to be appropriated shall be resolved by stockholders at the stockholders’ meeting, and cash dividends shall account for at least 5% of the total dividends distributed.

(3) Fair value estimation

  • A.The table below analyses financial instruments measured at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2:Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

  • Level 3:Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013:

  • B.The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm‘s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the closing price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise primarily equity instruments classified as available-for-sale financial assets.

  • C.The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market (such as the derivate instruments which traded in GTSM) is base on the cost of investment.

  • D.If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
