Business Report to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders:

The consolidated revenue of the Company in 2019 was NT$4.387 billion, decreased by 11% if compared with the figure NT$4.919 billion in 2018. The after-tax net profit was NT$ 939 million, which was decreased by 12% if compared with the figure NT$ 1.064 billion in 2018.

As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the net operating profit margin of the Company last year was 28%, the after-tax - profit margin was 22%, the return on equity was 17%, return on assets was 14%, and debt ratio was 18%. The overall financial condition of the Company was robust and good.

The major factors that contribute the decrease of the revenue and profit in 2019 included (1) the prosperity of the global economy was not as good as expected, (2) the commercialization of new products was delayed, and (3) the expansion of the global market didn’t achieve the goal as expected. As a result, the annual revenue and profit were both decreased.

●Future operation strategies, production-sales policies, development strategies and estimated sales volume:

The Company is dedicated to the technical advancement and competitiveness improvement of three technologies of automatic inspection equipment, namely, image technology (AOI, SPI), X-RAY, and board tester (ICT, FCT). To meet the demands for automatic inspection equipment of the industries, the Company will (1) continuously invest more R&D resources to meet customer needs and commercialize various new products with global competitiveness, (2) keep improving the product quality, so as to elevate the machine stability and reliability, (3) intensively research SMT process and expand new demands for automatic inspection devices in the semiconductor industry, (4) get closer to customers, cooperate with globally renowned large manufactures, and provide overall solution of automatic inspection for customers, and (5) expand global market, increase the global market share of the products made by the Company. The Company will successively commercialize a number of new products with global competitiveness and improve the competitiveness of our products this year. The sales volume this year is estimated to have sustainable growth.

  • ●Influence of external competitive environment, regulatory environment and overall operation environment on the Company:

During the outbreak of the COVID-19, the Company has carried out product development and production of customer orders actively and continuously. Facing the fierce global competition, we will continuously make improvements in "leading technology", "stable and reliable quality", and "global market expansion", and will also keep adjusting the systems of the overall company. We are confident that we will seize the opportunity of continuous growth in the future.

Thanks for the support from all shareholders who bring opportunities for continuous growth of the Company.

Sincerely

Chairman: Chieh-Yuan,Chen

Manager: Chieh-Yuan,Chen

Accounting Chief: Kaun-Yuan, Chen

Appendix 3

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR 19003427

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Test Research, Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Test Research, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants (please refer to “ other matter ”), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended 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.

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. Based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, 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 judgment, 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

~8~

Description

Refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policies adopted for the evaluation of inventories, Note 5 for critical accounting estimates and assumptions related to the evaluation of inventories, and Note 6(4) for details of inventories. As of December 31, 2019, inventory and allowance for valuation losses are NT$738,433 thousand and NT$101,228 thousand, respectively.

The Group is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, sales, repairs and maintenance of automated inspection and testing equipment, and inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Management considers the rapidly changing technology and the short life cycle of electronic products in evaluating inventories. For inventories that are over certain aging and individually identified obsolete or slow-moving items, the net realisable value is determined based on inventory aging and the market demand of such items in the future for a specific period, which are based on sales, obsolescence and the inventory quality. As the amount of inventory is significant, involves numerous items, and the evaluation of inventory requires critical judgement and a high degree of uncertainty in estimation, we consider the evaluation of allowance for inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Understanding the industry and operations of the Group, and assessing the reasonableness of accounting policies applied in the evaluation of inventory provision.

  2. Understanding the inventory management processes, examining the annual physical count plan, and performing physical inventory observation to assess the effectiveness of judgement and control of obsolete or slow-moving inventory.

  3. Obtaining inventory aging report and testing movements to confirm whether they are assigned to the correct aging category by the system and are in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. We also recalculated to check the adequacy of the allowance for valuation losses.

~9~

  1. Analysing and comparing the difference of inventory valuation losses between the latest two years and examining supporting evidences in relation to allowance for slow-moving inventory valuation losses, which were individually identified by the management based on the inventory clearance condition, to assess the propriety of inventory valuation losses.

Cutoff of export revenue recognition

Description

For accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition, refer to Note 4(24).

The Group recognises export revenue in accordance with the terms of the transaction with the customer. Export revenue constitutes more than 80% of consolidated operating revenue and the period of revenue recognition is based on transaction terms of different customers. As the timing of revenue recognition might be based on management judgement depending on past experience, revenue may not be recorded in the proper period. Thus, we consider the cutoff of export revenue recognition a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Understanding and assessing the effectiveness of export revenue recognition control processes.

  2. Obtaining detailed listing of export sales within a certain period before and after period end, selecting samples and assessing the completeness by agreeing the sale to supporting documentation (such as export bill of lading and proof of delivery) to ascertain whether the sale was recorded in the proper period.

Other matter - Audits of the other independent accountants

We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets of NT$70,268 thousand, constituting 1% of the consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2018, and total operating revenue was NT$0 for the year then ended. Those financial statements and the information disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and information disclosed relative to these consolidated subsidiaries, is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Test Research, Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

~10~

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 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.

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 judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

~11~

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

~12~

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 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.

Pan, Hui-Lin Liao, A-Shen For and on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan February 26, 2020
