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

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
PWCR19000051
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd. as at
March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity
and of cash flows for the three months then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair
presentation of these financial statements in accordance with “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 financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
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 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.

Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying
financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Formosa
Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd. as at March 31, 2019 and 2018, and of its financial performance and
its cash flows for the three months then ended in accordance with “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.

Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)
New standards, interpretations and amendments as endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as
follows:
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the
Company’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Company’s assessment.

Amendments to IFRS 9, ‘Prepayment features with negative compensation’ January 1, 2019
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ January 1, 2019

IFRIC 23, ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’ January 1, 2019
Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle January 1, 2019
~9~
A. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
(a) IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard
requires lessees to recognise a ‘right-of-use asset’ and a lease liability (except for those leases
with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same
for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and
account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures
to be provided by lessors.
(b) The Company has elected to apply IFRS 16 by not restating the comparative information
(referred herein as the ‘modified retrospective approach’) when applying “IFRSs” effective in
2019 as endorsed by the FSC. Accordingly, the Company increased both ‘right-of-use asset’
and ‘lease liability’ by $564,958 with respect to the lease contracts of lessees on January 1,
2019.
(c) The Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard at the date
of initial application of IFRS 16:
i. Reassessment as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is not required, instead, the
application of IFRS 16 depends on whether or not the contracts were previously identified
as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
ii. The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar
characteristics.
iii. The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of ‘right-of-use asset’.
iv. The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to
extend or terminate the lease.
(d) The Company calculated the present value of lease liabilities by using the weighted average
incremental borrowing interest rate of 1.0127%.
(e) The Company recognised lease liabilities which had previously been classified as ‘operating
leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, ‘Leases’. The reconciliation between operating lease
commitments under IAS 17 measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments,
discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate and lease liabilities recognised as of
January 1, 2019 is as follows:

The above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Company’s financial
condition and financial performance based on the Company’s assessment.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with Note 4 in the financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2018, except for the compliance statement, basis of preparation and additional
policies as set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented,
unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
A. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations
Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and IAS 34, ‘Interim
Financial Reporting’ as endorsed by the FSC.
B. The financial statements should be read together with the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2018.
(2) Basis of preparation
A. Except for the following items, these financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention:
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through
profit or loss.
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income measured at fair value.
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less
present value of defined benefit obligation.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as
endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process

of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment
or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements
are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Leasing arrangements (lessee)-right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
Effective 2019
A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at
which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. For short-term leases or leases of
low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the
commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate.
Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.
The Company subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest
method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and
the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there
are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract
modifications.
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the amount of the
initial measurement of lease liability.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the
commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an
adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
(4) Employee benefits
Except for the following explanations, accounting policies on employee benefits are consistent with
Note 4 in the 2018 financial statements.
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. Also, the related information is disclosed accordingly.
(5) Income taxes
Except for the following explanations, accounting policies on income taxes are consistent with Note
4 in the 2018 financial statements.
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
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 Company
recognised the effect of the change immediately in the interim period in which the change occurs.
~12~
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.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF
ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
Accounting estimation, assumptions and management judgement are adjusted based on historical
experience and subsequent assessment, there is a possibility to have difference between the estimations
and actual results. Information in relation to the estimations and judgements of causing a material risk to
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities is addressed below:
(1) Revenue recognition
For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the
reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is determined based on the
actual cost spent relative to the total cost.
(2) Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Company must determine
the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to
the rapid technology innovation, the Company evaluates the amounts of normal inventory
consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date,
and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Such an evaluation of inventories
is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore,
there might be material changes to the evaluation.
6. DETAILS OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTS

was $4,422,222, consisting of 442,222 thousand shares with a par value of $10 per share. All
proceeds from shares issued have been collected.
(11) 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 Law requires
that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalised mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the
paid-in capital each year. Capital surplus should not be used to cover accumulated deficit unless the
legal reserve is insufficient.
(12) Retained earnings
A. Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, 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. Appropriation of the remainder shall be proposed by
the Board of Directors and resolved by the stockholders.
The Company operates in a volatile business environment and is in the stable growth stage. In
response to the business scale expansion, the Company’s dividend policy involves three
alternatives which include cash dividend distribution, the use of earnings to increase capital, and
the use of additional paid-in capital to increase capital. Assuming the Company has surplus
earnings, it shall first be set aside as legal reserve and special reserve, then the Company shall
~20~
appropriate no less than 50% of the remaining amount as dividends, and this will first be
distributed in the form of cash dividends. In case of the excessive increase in capital which
decreases dividend payout ratio, the amount of earnings and capital surplus to be capitalised
shall not exceed 50% of the total dividends distributed.
B. 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 excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.
C. 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.
D. The appropriations of earnings of 2018 and 2017 had been approved by the Board of Directors
and the shareholders during their meeting on February 27, 2019 and June 22, 2018, respectively.
Details are as follows:

Sensitivity analysis
~32~
Price risk
i. The Company’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity
securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done
in accordance with the limits set by the Company.
ii. Shares and open-end funds issued by the domestic companies. The prices of equity
securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If
the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables
held constant, post-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 would
have increased/decreased by $2,046 and $5,046, respectively, as a result of gains/losses
on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of
equity would have increased/decreased by $20,508 and $20,645, respectively, as a result
of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other
comprehensive income.
(b) Credit risk
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company 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.
ii. The Company established the management of credit risk. For banks and financial
institutions, only rated parties with a minimum rating of 'A' are accepted. According to
the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Company is responsible for
managing and analyzing 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. If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a
significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition. The default
occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.
iv. The Company assesses expected credit loss on individual significant default accounts
receivable, while the Company classifies customer’s accounts receivable in accordance
with customer types. The Company uses different loss rate methodology or provision
matrix to estimate expected credit loss on different groups.
v. The Company wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be
recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Company will continue
executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights.
vi. The Company used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to
assess the default possibility of accounts receivable. According to abovementioned
consideration and information, the Company does not expect to have significant loss to
generate any significant allowance loss of accounts receivable.
vii. Movements in relation to the Company applying the simplified approach to provide loss
allowance for accounts receivable are as follows:
(c)Liquidity risk
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Company and
aggregated by Company treasury. Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the
Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational
needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing
facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants
(where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into
consideration the Company’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, and compliance
with internal balance sheet ratio targets.

ii. Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working
capital management are transferred to the Company treasury. The Company treasury
invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, deposit account, short-term
bonds and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or
sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned
forecasts. As at March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company
held money market position of $4,063,421, $3,598,716 and $5,489,838, respectively that
are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
iii. The Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled
derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining
period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative
financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities.
As of March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the maturity dates of the
Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities (including notes payable, accounts payable
(including related parties) and other payables) all were less than 1 year.
(3) Fair value information
A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities. A market is regarded as active if it meets all the following conditions: the
items traded in the market are homogeneous; willing buyers and sellers can normally
be found at any time; and prices are available to the public. The fair value of the
Company’s investment in listed stocks and beneficiary certificates is included in Level
1.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from
prices).The fair value of the Company’s investment in derivative instruments is
included in Level 2.
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data The fair
value of the Company’s investment in equity investment without active market is
included in Level 3.
B. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable
(including related parties), other receivables (including related parties), guarantee deposits paid,
notes payable, accounts payable (including related parties) and other payables are approximate
to their fair values.

C. The related information of financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of
the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities are as follows:
(a) The related information of the nature of the assets and liabilities is as follows:
(b)The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:

ii.Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial
instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty
quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques
method can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and
characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods,
including calculated by applying model using market information available at the balance
sheet date.
iii. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be
able to capture all relevant factors of the Company’s financial and non-financial instruments.
Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with
additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the
Company’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation
models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is
necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial
instruments at the balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation
are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
iv. The Company takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the
Company’s credit quality.
C. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no transfer between Level 1
and Level 2.
D. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2019
and 2018:
E. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no transfer into or out from
Level 3.
F. Company treasury is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being
categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments.
Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent
information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of
information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the
