Independent Auditors' Report

To TYC BROTHER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of TYC BROTHER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. (the "Company") as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together "the parent company only financial statements").

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter

  • Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors section of our report), the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the "Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 2020 parent company only 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Loss Allowance Accounts Receivable

As of 31 December 2020, the balance of accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts of the Company amounted to NT$3,164,266 thousand and NT$162,258 thousand, respectively. Net accounts receivable constituted a material amount of 17% of total assets, which was considered material in the parent company only financial statements. Since the allowance for doubtful accounts was measured at the lifetime expected credit loss, the account receivables should be appropriately grouped during the measurement process and determine the use of related assumptions in the analysis and measurement, including appropriate aging intervals and their respective loss rate. As the measurement of expected credit loss involves making judgment, analysis and estimates, and the result will affect the net accounts receivable, we therefore determined this a key audit matter.

2

Our audit procedures included, but not limited to, evaluating and testing the process of internal control execution management established for receivables; evaluating the appropriateness of management's provisioning policy of allowance for doubtful accounts; analyzing the appropriateness of the grouping of accounts receivable to confirm whether customer groups that have significantly different loss patterns from one another are grouped appropriately; the Company was tested by provision matrix, including evaluating the appropriateness of the aging intervals and the accuracy of the basic data by reviewing the original certificates; performing tests on subsequent collection of receivables; evaluating long-term trends of loss allowance and turnover rate of accounts receivable.

We also considered the appropriateness of disclosure of accounts receivable. Please refer to Notes 5 and 6 of the parent company only financial statements.

Valuation for slow-moving inventories

As of 31 December 2020, the Company's net inventories amounted to NT$1,062,985 thousand, constituting 6% of total asset, which was considered material in the parent company only financial statements. Considering the market economy environment change, horizontal competition and numerous inventory items, the loss allowance for loss on inventory valuation and obsolescence required significant management judgment. We determined this as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures included, but not limited to, evaluating and testing the internal control management established for inventory, evaluating the appropriateness of management's provisioning policy of allowance; sampling net realizable value estimated by inventory, including related sales certificates and recalculating price loss; testing the accuracy of inventory aging time period by sampling related documents and recalculating the accuracy of inventory allowance.

We also considered the appropriateness of disclosure of inventories. Please refer to Notes 5 and 6 of the parent company only financial statements.

Other Matter - Making Reference to the Audits of a Component Auditors

We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the reports of other auditors. These subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures under equity method amounted to NT$725,102 thousand and NT$757,435 thousand, representing 4.08% and 4.23% of total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The related shares of profits from the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$16,379 thousand and NT$19,078 thousand, representing 6.97% and 2.19% of the income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income (loss) from the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$(8,569) thousand and NT$(5,458) thousand, representing 17.36% and 8.42% of the comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the requirements of 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

3

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, 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 financial reporting process of the Company.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 auditing standards generally accepted 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 auditing standards generally accepted 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 parent company only 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 internal control of the Company.
  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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. 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 parent company only 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

4

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  2. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only 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 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 2020 parent company only financial statements 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.

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