TEST RESEARCH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT

ACCOUNTANTS MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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

PWCR 20000207

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

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Test Research, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three months then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” in the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As explained in Note 4(3), the financial statements of insignificant consolidated subsidiaries were not reviewed by independent accountants. Those statements reflect total assets of NT$1,289,841 thousand and NT$1,467,926 thousand, constituting 18% and 22% of the consolidated total assets, and total liabilities of NT$124,716 thousand and NT$62,414 thousand, constituting 9% and 5% of the consolidated total liabilities as at March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and total comprehensive (loss) income of (NT$3,736) thousand and NT$15,245 thousand, constituting (1%) and 6% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months then ended, respectively.

~2~

Qualified Conclusion

Except for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries been reviewed by independent accountants, that we might have become aware of had it not been for the situation described above, based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at March 31, 2020 and 2019, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Except for the financial statements of DOLI as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 which were reviewed by the Company’s independent accountants, the financial statements of the abovementioned subsidiaries included in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were not reviewed by independent accountants as these subsidiaries did not meet the definition of a significant subsidiary.

  • C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.

  • E. Significant restrictions: None.

  • F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.

(4) Leasing arrangements (lessor) lease receivables/ operating leases

Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(5) Income tax

  • A. The interim period income tax expense is recognised based on the estimated average annual effective income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pretax income of the

~12~

interim period, and the related information is disclosed accordingly.

  • B. If a change in tax rate is enacted or substantively enacted in an interim period, the Group recognises the effect of the change immediately in the interim period in which the change occurs. The effect of the change on items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity while the effect of the change on items recognised in profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

(6) Employee benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.

B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • (b) Defined benefit plans

Pension cost for the interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the pension cost rate derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-off events. And, the related information is disclosed accordingly.

  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration

Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgments 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. In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, there is no critical accounting judgment. The critical accounting estimates and assumptions is addressed below:

~13~

Evaluation of inventories

The Group’s 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. Management considers the rapidly changing technology and the short life cycle of electronic products in evaluating inventories. For inventories that are over a certain age 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. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. As evaluation of inventories usually involves subjective judgment and a high degree of estimation uncertainty, there may be material changes to the evaluation.

As of March 31, 2020, the carrying amount of inventories was $892,826.

(8) Pensions

A. Defined benefit plan

  • (a) The Company has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Act. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company will make contributions for the deficit by next March.

  • (b) For the aforementioned pension plan, the Group recognised pension costs of $111 and $133 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

  • (c) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plan of the Group for the year ending December 31, 2021 amount to $2,274.

B. Defined contribution plan

  • (a) Effective July 1, 2005, the Company has established a defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company contributes monthly an amount based on 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of employment.

  • (b) The subsidiaries, DOLI, TIL, TRU, TRE, TRJ and TRM, have no pension plan, and its local laws have no compulsory requirements on the establishment of a pension plan. However, the Company’s Mainland China subsidiaries, TRI (SHENZHEN), TRI (SUZHOU) and TRI (SHANGHAI), have defined contribution plans. Monthly contributions to an independent fund administered by the government in accordance with the pension regulations in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are based on a certain percentage of employees’ monthly salaries and wages. Other than the monthly contributions, the Group has no further obligations. The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plans of the Group for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $6,396 and $6,001, respectively.

(9) Share capital

The Company’s authorised capital was $2,500,000. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s outstanding capital was $2,362,160.

(10) Capital surplus

Pursuant to the R.O.C. Company Act, capital surplus arising from paid-in capital in excess of par value on issuance of common stocks and donations can be used to cover accumulated deficit or to issue new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, provided that the Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act requires that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalised mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the paidin capital each year. Capital surplus should not be used to cover accumulated deficit unless the legal reserve is insufficient.

(11) Retained earnings

  • A. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the dividend policy of the Company is based on the Company’s future capital expenditure budget and capital requirements. Dividends shall be appropriated from accumulated distributable earnings, and the distribution amount shall not be lower than 60% of accumulated distributable earnings, of which cash dividends shall not be lower than 50% of the total dividends distributed. The current year’s earnings, if any, shall first be used to pay all taxes and offset prior years’ operating losses and then 10% of the remaining amount shall be set aside as legal reserve until the amount of legal reserve is equal to the amount of total capital. After the provision or reversal of special reserve, the remaining earnings constitute the distributable earnings of the current year. The appropriation of the remaining earnings along with the unappropriated earnings of prior years shall be proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders at the stockholders’ meeting.

  • B. The appropriations of 2019 earnings had been proposed by the Board of Directors on February 26, 2020 and the appropriations of 2018 earnings had been resolved at the stockholders’ meeting on May 29, 2019. Details are summarised below:

  • C. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose. The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion in

~21~

excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in-capital.

  • D. (a) In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside special reserve from the debit balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings.

  • iii. Total exchange gain, including realised and unrealised arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $7,389 and $22,976, respectively.

Price risk

The Group has no equity instruments held for trading; thus, the Group has no price risk.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group has no borrowings; thus, the Group has no cash flow and fair value interest rate risk.

  • (b) Credit risk

  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of debt instruments stated at amortised cost.

  • ii. The Group’s credit risk management policy is that for banks and financial institutions, only institutions with good credit rating are accepted. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • iii. In accordance with the internal management policy of the Group, if the contract payments were past due over 120 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

  • iv. In accordance with the internal management policy of the Group, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 365 days.

  • v. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:

    • (i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;

    • (ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

    • (iii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments.

~32~

  • vi. The Group classifies customer’s accounts receivable in accordance with credit risk on trade. The Group applies the modified approach using provision matrix, loss rate methodology to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.

  • vii. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights.

  • viii.The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable. On March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the provision matrix, loss rate methodology is as follows:
