CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020


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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR 21000163

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders 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, 2021 and 2020, 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 certain insignificant consolidated subsidiaries were not reviewed by independent auditors. Total assets of these subsidiaries amounted to NT$1,403,062 thousand and NT$1,289,841 thousand, constituting 19% and 18% of the consolidated total assets as at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, total liabilities amounted to NT$169,814 thousand and NT$124,716 thousand, constituting 11% and 9% of the consolidated total liabilities as at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and total comprehensive income (loss) amounted to NT$80,442 thousand and

~2~

(NT$3,736) thousand, constituting 28% and (1%) of the consolidated total comprehensive income (loss) for the three months then ended, respectively.

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 auditors as described in the Basis for qualified conclusion section 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, 2021 and 2020, 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.

(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 $47 and $111 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

  • (c) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plan of the Group for the year ending December 31, 2022 amount to $2,353.

B. Defined contribution plans

  • (a) Effective July 1, 2005, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have 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 not lower than 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) Other overseas companies have a defined contribution plan in accordance with the local regulations, and contributions to endowment insurance and pension reserve are based on employees’ salaries and wages. Other than the monthly contributions, the Group has no further obligations.

  • (c) For the aforementioned pension plan, the Group recognised pension costs of $6,818 and $6,396 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(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

~20~

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’ 1osses 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 shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting.

  • B. The appropriations of 2020 earnings had been proposed by the Board of Directors on February 24, 2021 and the appropriations of 2019 earnings had been resolved at the stockholders’ meeting on May 27, 2020. Details are summarised below:

  • 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. When debit balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount could be included in the distributable earnings.

  • iii. Total exchange (loss) income, 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, 2021 and 2020 amounted to ($2,967) and $7,389, 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.

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

  • vii. The Group writes off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue

~31~

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, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the provision matrix based on the loss rate methodology is as follows:
