INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of WPG Holdings Limited

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of WPG Holdings Limited (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.

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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 Company’s 2020 financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

~15~

Key audit matters for the Company’s 2020 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

Impairment assessment of investments accounted for under equity method

Description

Refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policy on investments accounted for under equity method, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to impairment assessment of investments accounted for under equity method, and Note 6(4) for details of investments accounted for under equity method.

In 2010, the Company acquired 100% shareholding of Yosun Industrial Corp. (referred herein as “Yosun Industrial”) amounting to $12,939,060 thousand, and was recognized as investments accounted for under equity method. The Company uses the estimated future cash flows of each cash-generating unit and proper discount rate to assess whether the investment may be impaired. Given that the assumptions used in the calculation of recoverable amount requires significant management judgement with respect to the discount rate and the underlying cash flows, we considered the impairment assessment of the investment a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  1. Assessing the process in which management evaluates the estimated future cash flows of each cash generating unit, and reconciling the input data used in the valuation model to the approved operational plan by management.

  2. Evaluating the reasonableness of the estimated growth rate, gross rate, discount rate and other significant assumptions used in the valuation model, by:

  3. (1) Comparing estimated growth rate and gross rate with historical data and our knowledge of the business and industry;

  4. (2) Comparing discount rate assumptions with respect to cash generating units’ capital cost and similar return on assets; and

  5. (3) Checking the setting of valuation model’s calculation formula.

  6. Comparing the recoverable value and book value of each cash-generating unit.

~16~

Valuation of investments accounted for under equity method

Description

Refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policy on investments accounted for under equity method, and Note 6(4) for details of investments accounted for under equity method.

As at December 31, 2020, the balance of the Company’s investments in its subsidiaries, World Peace Industrial Co., Ltd. (referred herein as “World Peace Industrial”), Yosun Industrial, Silicon Application Corp. (referred herein as “Silicon Application”) and Asian Information Technology Inc. (referred herein as “Asian Information Technology”) amounted to $24,925,013 thousand, $11,919,185 thousand, $7,288,058 thousand and $5,702,692 thousand, respectively, and the investment income amounted to $3,311,641 thousand, $927,668 thousand, $1,079,540 thousand and $1,137,808 thousand for the year then ended, respectively. As the balance of investments accounted for under equity method constituted 61% of the Company’s total assets, and investment income constituted 80% of the Company’s profit before tax, we considered the assessment of investments accounted for under equity method, valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, and recognition of purchase discounts and allowances of these subsidiaries as key audit matters as summarised below:

Valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable - World Peace Industrial, Yosun Industrial, Silicon Application and Asian Information Technology (collectively referred herein as the “Subsidiaries”)

Description

Refer to Note 4(10) of consolidated financial statements for accounting policy on accounts receivable, Note 5(2) of consolidated financial statements for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to provision for uncollectible accounts receivable, and Note 6(5) of consolidated financial statements for details of accounts receivable and overdue receivables.

The Subsidiaries assess the collectibility of accounts receivable based on historical experience with its customers. As the estimation of allowance for uncollectible accounts is subject to management’s judgment in estimating future recovery, such as management’s assessment of customer’s credit risk, we consider the valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  1. Obtaining an understanding of, and evaluating the formal approval process for the customer’s credit
~17~

limit application.

  1. Checking the provision policy on allowance for uncollectible accounts, and assessing the reasonableness of provision policy.

  2. Checking the adequacy of the loss rate calculation by sampling the historical accounts receivable aging data and verifying the formula for the calculation of expected credit loss rate.

  3. Comparing the classification of accounts receivable aging with current year and prior year, and checking subsequent collections after balance sheet date to confirm recovery of outstanding receivables.

  4. For those accounts receivable specifically identified by management to have been impaired, evaluating propriety of impairment assessment against related supporting documents.

Recognition of purchase discounts and allowances - subsidiaries

Description

Refer to Note 4(13) of the consolidated financial statements for accounting policy on recognition of purchase discounts and allowances.

The Subsidiaries are engaged in operating sales channel for various electronic components. In line with industry practice, the Subsidiaries have entered into purchase discounts and allowances agreements with suppliers for various kinds and quantities of inventories. The Subsidiaries calculate and recognize the amount of purchase discounts and allowances in accordance with the agreement. The Subsidiaries negotiate the amount with the supplier, and after receiving credit note from supplier, the Subsidiaries pay the net amount.

The discounts and allowances from supplier are calculated either automatically by the system or manually. The Subsidiaries have to gather a lot of information to input in the system, such as the items subject to discount and corresponding discount rate, etc. Given that the Subsidiaries have a large volume of purchases, and have entered into various purchase discounts and allowances agreements with terms and conditions that vary with each agreement, we consider the recognition of purchase discounts and allowances a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  1. Understanding the process in recognizing purchase discounts and allowances, evaluating related
~18~

internal control procedures and testing its effectiveness, checking the basic information set up in the computer system with respect to discount and allowance calculation randomly, and selecting samples to determine whether purchase discounts and allowances recognized were reviewed by an authorised supervisor.

  1. Selecting samples of purchase discounts and allowances, obtaining confirmed documents and approved credit note from supplier for selected commodity’s part number, and checking whether the part number and discount and allowance amount in obtained vouchers were consistent with the amounts recognized.

  2. Performing confirmation of selected material accounts payable, checking whether there is a difference between the amount of purchase discounts and allowances recognized based on credit note from supplier with the amount confirmed by the supplier, and investigating differences, if any. Selecting samples of outstanding accounts payable and checking whether subsequent payments were made after the balance sheet date.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an

~19~

audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China 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 parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 Company’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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 financial statements to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely

~20~

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.

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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of WPG Holdings Limited

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WPG Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements. 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

~28~

do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:

Impairment assessment of goodwill

Description

Refer to Note 4(19) for accounting policy on goodwill impairment, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to goodwill impairment, and Note 6(13) for details of intangible assets.

The Group acquired shares of stock of target companies by cash or through exchange of shares of stock. The difference between the acquisition price and the carrying amount of the net identifiable assets is allocated in accordance with the accounting policies on business combinations. The Group uses the estimated future cash flows of each cash-generating unit and proper discount rate to determine recoverable amount of goodwill, and assesses whether goodwill may be impaired. Given that the assumptions used in the calculation of recoverable amount requires significant management judgement with respect to the discount rate and the underlying cash flows, we considered the impairment assessment of goodwill a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  1. Assessing the process in which management evaluates the estimated future cash flows of each cash generating unit, and reconciling the input data used in the valuation model to the approved operational plan by management.

  2. Evaluating the reasonableness of the estimated growth rate, gross rate, discount rate and other significant assumptions used in the valuation model, by:

  3. (1) Comparing estimated growth rate and gross rate with historical data and our knowledge of the business and industry;

  4. (2) Comparing discount rate assumptions with respect to cash generating units’ capital cost and similar return on assets; and

  5. (3) Checking the setting of valuation model’s calculation formula.

  6. Comparing the recoverable value and book value of each cash-generating unit.

~29~

Valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable

Description

Refer to Note 4(10) for accounting policy on accounts receivable, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to provision for uncollectible accounts receivable, and Notes 6(5)(15) for details of accounts receivable and overdue receivables.

The Group assesses the collectability of accounts receivable based on historical experience with its customers. As the estimation of allowance for uncollectible accounts is subject to management’s judgment in estimating future recovery, such as management’s assessment of customer’s credit risk, we considered the valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  1. Obtaining an understanding of, and evaluating the formal approval process for the customer’s credit limit application.

  2. Checking the provision policy on allowance for uncollectible accounts, and assessing the reasonableness of provision policy.

  3. Checking the adequacy of the loss rate calculation by sampling the historical accounts receivable aging data and verifying the formula for the calculation of expected credit loss rate.

  4. Comparing the classification of accounts receivable aging with current year and prior year, and checking subsequent collections after balance sheet date to confirm recovery of outstanding receivables.

  5. For those accounts receivable specifically identified by management to have been impaired, evaluating propriety of impairment assessment against related supporting documents.

Recognition of purchase discounts and allowances

Description

Refer to Note 4(13) for accounting policy on recognition of purchase discounts and allowances. The Group is engaged in operating sales channel for various electronic components. In line with industry practice, the Group has entered into purchase discounts and allowances agreements with suppliers for various kinds and quantities of inventories. The Group calculates and recognizes the amount of purchase discounts and allowances in accordance with the agreement. The Group negotiates the amount with the

~30~

supplier, and after receiving credit note from supplier, the Group pays the net amount.

The discounts and allowances from supplier are calculated either automatically by the system or manually. The Group has to gather a lot of information to input in the system, such as the items subject to discount and corresponding discount rate, etc. Given that the Group has a large volume of purchases, and has entered into various purchase discounts and allowances agreements with terms and conditions that vary with each agreement, we considered the recognition of purchase discounts and allowances a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  1. Understanding the process in recognizing purchase discounts and allowances, evaluating related internal control procedures and testing its effectiveness, checking the basic information set up in the computer system with respect to discount and allowance calculation randomly, and selecting samples to determine whether purchase discounts and allowances recognized were reviewed by an authorized supervisor.

  2. Selecting samples of purchase discounts and allowances, obtaining confirmed documents and approved credit note from supplier for selected commodity’s part number, and checking whether the part number and discount and allowance amount in obtained vouchers were consistent with the amounts recognized.

  3. Performing confirmation of selected material accounts payable, checking whether there is a difference between the amount of purchase discounts and allowances recognized based on credit note from supplier with the amount confirmed by the supplier, and investigating differences, if any. Selecting samples of outstanding accounts payable and checking whether subsequent payments were made after the balance sheet date.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of WPG Holdings Limited as at and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

~31~

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.

Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China 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 the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

~32~
  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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant

~33~

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 auditors’ 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.
