I. Letter 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

5.1.2 Industry Overview

1. Current situation and development of the industry:

  • The automatic inspection w is mainly used to accurately check and indicate the defective parts from the circuit board. Since there are dozens of or even hundreds of electronic parts on the circuit board, the problem such as missed insertion, wrong insertion, cold welding or part fault may occur during the manual or automatic insertion welding. If it relies on manual inspection, it is time-consuming and unreliable, which further affects the efficiency of the production process. The automatic detection equipment solves the aforementioned problems related to defects, reduces the defects found before shipment which may result in rework. Therefore, it is an indispensable detection assistant for the industries such as electronic information and communications in the production process. In recent years, assembly production lines have been faced with requirements for higher yield and output speed, which brings higher market demands for automatic inspection equipment and the stricter requirements for functionality. This will help equipment suppliers with high price / function ratio and fast R & D speed to seize more business opportunities.

The automatic inspection equipment can be divided into ICT, ATE, AOI, SPI, AXI, FCT and IC TESTER based on the functions:

  • A. In Circuit Tester (ICT):

  • It mainly combines the ICT with the production process, and sets the software program to inspect the open/short circuit on the circuit board, whether any electronic components included in the accessories are missing, reversed, or damaged during production. It belongs to static process tests.

  • B. Auto Test Equipment (ATE):

  • Besides the above static tests, it can only test the digital function of the IC on the circuit board. With the external power supply, it uses the PXI module on the test equipment to measure the analog and digital signals on the circuit board, which is applied to the quality inspection before shipment of the finished products. It belongs to dynamic functional test.

  • C. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI):

  • Due to the compact and slim design trend of information and communication products, it makes the circuit board testing technology more difficult. AOI uses optical image scanning / reading technology to replace general visual or traditional probe test. It solves the blind spots of the test for the assembled circuit board due to high distribution density of electronic components, such as skew, tombstone, lifted lead, scratches, polarity, excessive solder, insufficient solder, and etc.

  • D. Solder Paste Inspection (SPI):

  • SMT quality is determined by how to improve the printing quality of solder paste. The SPI can quickly measure the thickness and open/short circuit of each solder point, so as to solve the long-term troubles that 2D cannot solve. For compact and slim products, it won’t cause poor contact due to small solder points, insufficient solder, vibration when use, thermal expansion and contraction, so as to improve the quality and capacity of

84

the process.

  • E. Automatic X-Ray Inspection (AXI):

  • For the traditional electrical measurement methods that adopt probe implanting, due to the high density of PCB parts, it is quite difficult to implant probes, so the test coverage is greatly reduced. The AOI system that uses visible light as the inspection light source cannot provide effective and satisfactory test coverage in high-density parts, micro parts, shielding solder joints of RF and high-frequency circuits, and etc. Through the good penetration and non-destructive inspection characteristics of X-Ray, it can be combined with traditional AOI systems to greatly improve the overall system test coverage.

  • F. Function Verification Tester (FCT)

  • It mainly checks whether the overall performance and specifications of the assembled circuit boards meet the product requirements. The tester applies rated performance indexes through the probe or connector for testing.

  • G. IC Tester

With the testing software, the tester sets the specifications and parameters, so as to control the hardware system to simulate various scenarios in which the tested IC will be applied in the future. It also collects and summarizes the functional test results of the tested IC returned from the hardware so as to judge whether it meets the preset specifications and create effective data for engineering analysis.

2. Correlation between the industrial upstream, midstream and downstream

The components needed for manufacturing and assembling the automatic inspection equipment of the Company are mostly purchased from major domestic manufacturers, such as: XY Table, image processing board CCD Camera and X-ray tube, instrument table, PC board, IC, press and computer. After the above-mentioned components are obtained, the Company processes, assembles and inspects them, and finally sells them to manufacturers of information, communications and other industries, which are used to inspect and test the components during its production process, so as to improve the production yield.

The correlation between the industrial upstream, midstream and downstream is shown as below:

3. Product development trend:

In recent years, technology products are developing towards the compact and slim trend. All manufacturers of mobile phones, digital cameras, LCD screens, and laptops are fully committed to promoting the slim feature of their products to consumers. In response to the trend of lightweight products, the products must be designed with smaller size while maintaining the original high yield, which is quite difficult. Taiwan’s industry that is dominated by outsourcing, is forced to enter a brand new generation of technology. The manufacturers have invested a lot of funds to update or expand new production lines and purchase more advanced production equipment. In terms of automatic inspection equipment, the growth of the network and the integration of 3C will promote the market demands for automatic inspection equipment. In addition, the rapid growth of communications and portable audio-visual products will bring high market demands for testers with small size and high density of electronic component.

4. Product competition situation:

(1)ICT:

The manufacturers in Taiwan have been engaged in the field of ICT technology for many years, and have the advantages of the local manufacturers, such as rapid delivery

86

and complete customer service system. The product quality and service have been recognized by customers. Therefore, the ICT products are mainly by the manufacturers in Taiwan. Wherein, the products of the Company are the most competitive and take up the highest market share, with good market reputation, high awareness and high customer acceptance. The Company also pays close attention to the market competition and will further expand its market share through flexible product strategies and local customer service.

(2)ATE/FCT:

At present, the manufacturers in Taiwan are mostly OEM, ODM and EMS. As for the inspection equipment, the foreign customers often designate to use products from international large brands. The Company has developed non-multitask models and simplified the jig manufacturing process. The improved human-machine interface makes it easy-to-operate for users. As the circuit boards are getting highly complicated and integrated, the new generation of automatic inspection equipment is provided to replace the equivalent equipment made from foreign manufacturers gradually. Recently, it has obtained a number of European and American AVL certifications, which will be helpful for the product sales and market expansion.

(3)AOI/SPI/AXI:

At present, there are many foreign competitors related to AOI, SPI and AXI. After investing huge resources in the research and development for many years, the Company has released a comparable machine with well-known foreign manufacturers in terms of the inspection speed and functions. Such machine can fully meet the current strict testing requirements for small components, with extremely high competitiveness in the market. In addition to the miniature trend of electronics, the ICT and ATE equipment that originally used electrical testing will face the problem of incomplete testing (low coverage of insufficient testing points). It is expected that the demands for AOI / SPI / AXI equipment will still have growth space in the next several years.

(4)IC Tester:

Currently, most of the IC testers used in Taiwan’s industries are imported. The foreign large manufacturers have accumulated many years of R&D and marketing experience, which have taken up quite high market share. In particular, they acquire the key technologies of high-end ICs with complex test processes and functional integration. With the circuit board testing experience accumulated for years, the Company has entered the field of IC testing. As the consumer ICs are widely applied, which covers the consumer electronics industries such as toys, musical instruments, and home appliances, as well as the fields of information and communications. Therefore, the Company's product development strategy initially takes the low-frequency (10MHz, 20MHz, 33MHz, 100MHz) logic IC testers as a niche market, and mainly promote the products to the consumer IC design, manufacturing companies, and packaging and testing plants.

5. Yield rate of the Company’s products:

Under the requirements of the quality policy, "developing advanced technology, pursuing excellent quality, and satisfactory customer service", the Company has been working hard to

87

promote the design and production of high-precision and high-quality measurement equipment that will achieve a win-win outcome with customers. In terms of the quality requirements, it considers the R & D quality, process quality and service quality as the key elements of quality assurance. The Company has also set the installation yield rate, the repeated purchase rate of customers and the number of major factory certifications as the key performance indicators. Through the strategy roadmap, the quality goals are expanded to the entire company, so as to fully promote the implementation of quality. The implementation schemes such as quality verification for products developed, engineering design change process tracking, customer complaint handling, supplier quality counseling, subsidiary quality system linkage, etc. are all in pursuit of the goal of maximum customer satisfaction. Through quality cycles, it achieves continuous improvement and progress to provide customer-oriented quality services. However, under the constant challenge of pursuing better product quality, we are still committed to making breakthroughs. The "Time to Market" is the key in this new economic era. In terms of future efforts: we will strive to accelerate product commercialization, meet new technological challenges, and enhance the confidence in product reliability. We will provide high-quality assurance for our products and the customer's products, which is the Company’s goal in quality.

departments evaluate the feasibility, it will improve the existing automatic detection equipment or develop new products to enhance the competitiveness among the competitors.

  • (2) Good brand image, and product competitiveness

  • The Company promotes the brand “TRI innovation” in the markets at home and abroad. With the long-term efforts in the field of tester, the high-quality products and professional repair services, it has established a good brand image and won the recognition and trust of renowned large factories at home and abroad. With rich experience in marketing equipment and a large number of customer clusters, the Company as a local manufacturer, is more competitive than foreign manufacturers in terms of supply speed, product repair and technical support. Thus our products gradually replace the costly testers made by the manufacturers in the United States and Japan.

  • (3) With the technical strength accumulated over the past years, it has diversified the product lines in the field of the assembled circuit board inspection, and provides complete inspection requirements and schemes for assembled circuit boards. Therefore, the Company is quite flexible in adjusting its technology and organizational structure, and can take advantage of the positive benefits of expanding its product lines in the right time.

  • (4) Sound operational and financial condition, and abundant manpower

The revenue of the Company has grown substantially since its establishment, and its financial condition is conservative and stable. Under the philosophy of "team, speed, innovation, integrity, and service" for a long time, we emphasize on the employee welfare, and establish responsibility-oriented management system, etc., so as to attract and retain outstanding employees. At the meantime, it spares no effort to conduct employee training and carry out cultivation plans. Abundant and excellent manpower, plus the Company's solid foundation, is critical for the future growth of the Company.

Unfavorable factors

Some foreign large information factories still designate foreign brand equipment: Despite the operations for many years, the increased global market share and higher awareness, some foreign large information factories still designate foreign brand equipment. As a result, the Company still has to continuously develop foreign AVL certification affairs of foreign large information factories.

Countermeasures:

  • A. Strengthen product differentiation, and improve product functions to meet customer needs better; when facing various brands, customers will still consider product functions rather than price to make the decision.

  • B. Establish a complete customer service system and real-time after-sales service, and help customers train production line engineers to make it get online easily; thus, they can solve the simple problems by themselves to avoid interruption of the production line and increase the confidence of downstream customers.

  • C. Continuously and actively carry out the AVL certification of European and American large factories and maintain good relations with the above-mentioned OEM factories;

94

with the advantages of quick supply and low equipment and maintenance costs of local manufacturers, we could gain customer trust and establish opportunities for future cooperation between the two parties.

  • D. Develop overseas markets and expand marketing sites

As the electronics, information, communication and other industries shift the production base to Mainland China, the Company has also set up sales and service sites in China and cooperates with local agents to fully grasp customer needs and trends at any time, so as to develop the potential markets in China. It also actively sets up sites in Asia, Europe, America and other regions and cooperates with local potential distributors to establish wide distribution network and expand the business in overseas markets.

5.2.2 Production Procedures of Main Products

1. Major Products and Their Main Uses

Products Applications
ICT Suitable for testing the functions of the assembled circuit board of the
soldered parts and determining whether the circuit board is open/short
circuited and whether the electronic components are missing, reversed,
or damaged during production. The abnormal problems mentioned
above will be firstly solved in the process to improve the quality
management of the circuit board process. This reduces the number of
defects found before shipment that may lead to rework.
ATE In addition to performing the above tests, it can also test the IC digital
functions of the circuit board. That is, apply external power is added to
measure the linear and digital signals on the circuit board.
FCT It checks whether the overall performance and specifications of the
assembled circuitboardmeet the product requirements.
IC Tester Test the functions of consumer IC.
AOI Suitable for the inspection of the assembled circuit boards with small
size and high density such as: Solder Volume, Missing Component,
Skew Component, Tombstoned Component, Polarity & Marking, Solder
Bridge, Missing Solder, Lifted Lead, Surface Defect on Gold Finger, and
Surface Defect on PCB.
SPI Suitable for solder point inspection before Pick and Places in the process
of assembling the circuit board; it could minimize the defective rate of
BGA parts welding and Solder Bridge during the process. It can also
check the area, height, volume, insufficient, and excessive problems
after printing the solder paste, so as to reduce the non-conforming solder
joints derived from solder paste printing defects.
AXI X-Ray AOI inspection machine mainly uses the penetration
characteristics of X-Ray to present the images with various brightness
on the camera acquisition. It can separate the upper and lower
overlapping component images, makes computation and analysis for the
images at different CT layer height by nine images taken by different
directions of acquisition angle, so as to detect the defect the
non-conformities on the circuit board. Especially for BGA components
and the parts that can’t be inspected visually, it can provide a more
advantageous solution.

  • (1) Financial structure:

  • a. Debt to asset ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

  • b. Long-term Fund to Property, Plant and Equipment Ratio = (Shareholders' Equity + Noncurrent Liabilities) / Net Property, Plant and Equipment

  • (2) Liquidity:

  • a. Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

  • b. Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories – Prepaid Expenses) / Current Liabilities

  • c. Time interest earned = net income before income tax and interest expense / current interest expense.

  • (3) Operating ability:

  • a. Average Collection Turnover = Net Sales / Average Trade Receivables (including all accounts receivable and all notes receivable resulting from trade)

  • b. Average Collection Days = 365 / Average Collection Turnover

  • c. Inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average amount of inventory.

  • d. Average Payables Turnover = Cost of Sales / Average Trade Payables (including all accounts payable and all notes payable resulting from trade)

  • e. Average Inventory Turnover Days = 365 / Average Inventory Turnover

  • f. Property, Plant and Equipment Turnover = Net Sales / Average Net Property, Plant and Equipment.

  • g. Fixed assets turnover ratio = net sales / total average fixed assets.

  • (4) Profitability:

  • a. Return on Total Assets = (Net Income + Interest Expenses * (1-Effective Tax Rate))

    • / Average Total Assets
  • b. Return on Equity = Net Income / Average Equity

  • c. Net profit margin = after-tax profit / net operating income.

  • d. Earnings Per Share = (Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of the Parent – Preferred Stock Dividend) / Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding

  • (5) Cash flows:

  • a. Cash flow ratio = new cash flows from operating activities / current liabilities.

  • b. Cash flow adequacy ratio = net cash flows from operating activities in the past five years / (capital expenditure + increase in inventory + cash dividend) in the past five years.

  • c. Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flows from operating activities –cash dividend) / (gross margin of property, plant and equipment + long-term investment + other noncurrent assets + working capital).

(6) Leverage:

111

  • a. Operating leverage = (net operating revenue - variable operating cost and expenses)

    • / operating profit.
  • b. Financial leverage = operating profit / (operating profit interest expense).

  • Note 5: It shall be noted when calculating the above earning per share:

  • (1) It shall be based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares instead of the number of issued-and-outstanding stocks at the end of the year.

  • (2) If there is Capital Increased by Cash or treasury stock trading, the calculation of the weighted average number of shares shall be considered during the outstanding period.

  • (3) If there are retained earnings or capital surplus transferred to capital, when calculating the earnings per share of the previous years and the semiannual, the increased capital shall be retrospectively adjusted according to the proportion while it is not necessary to consider the issue period of the capital increase.

  • (4) If the preferred stock is unconvertable cumulative preferred stock, the dividend for the year (whether or not it is distributed) shall be deducted from net income or add into net loss; if it is not cumulative and there is net income, dividend of the preferred stock shall be deducted from net income while it does not need to be adjusted if there is net loss.
