(the Corporation ) as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income and cash flows for the three months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report based on our reviews. Except as stated in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No Review of Financial Statements of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. As stated in Note 10 to the financial statements, the investments accounted for by the as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to NT$2,927,505 thousand and NT$2,744,743 thousand, respectively, and the investment gains for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were NT$17,420 thousand and NT$33,125 thousand, respectively. These investment amounts and the related information of the investees in Note 23 to the nonconsolidated financial statements were based on unreviewed financial statements. Based on our reviews, except for the effects of any adjustments that might have been made had the financial statements of the investees mentioned in the preceding paragraph been reviewed, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the nonconsolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 of Chroma Ate Inc. referred to in the first paragraph for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

8 CHROMA ATE INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise) (Reviewed, Not Audited) 1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS Chroma Ate Inc. (the Corporation ) was incorporated in the Republic of China (ROC) in November The Corporation mainly designs, assembles, calibrates, manufactures, sells, repairs and maintains software/hardware for computers and peripherals, computerized automatic test systems, electronic test instruments, signal generators, power supplies, telecom power supplies, etc. as well as serves as an agent to sell these products. The Corporation s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since December 21, As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Corporation had 1,258 and 1,252 employees, respectively. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting, and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC. The Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows: Foreign-currency Transactions Nonderivative foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss. Monetary assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date, and the resulting exchange differences are included in profit or loss for the current period. For foreign equity-method investments in which the functional currency is a foreign currency, the financial statements are translated into the Corporation s reporting currency. The resulting translation adjustments are accumulated and reported as a separate component of shareholders equity. Accounting Estimates Under above guidelines and principles, the Corporation is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that could affect the amounts of allowance for doubtful accounts; loss on market value decline of inventories; depreciation of property; plant and equipment; income tax; deferred charges and amortization of intangible assets; pension; asset impairment loss; bonus to employees; remuneration to directors and supervisors, etc. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For readers convenience, the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the ROC. If inconsistencies arise between the English version and the original Chinese version or if differences arise in the interpretations between the two versions, the Chinese-language version of the financial statements shall prevail

9 Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities Current assets include cash, assets held for trading and those expected to be converted to cash, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. All other assets such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are non-current assets. Current liabilities are obligations held for trading and those expected to be due within one year from the balance sheet date. All other liabilities not classified as current liabilities are non-current liabilities. Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) are financial assets held for trading. On initial recognition, the financial instruments are recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized in profit or loss. Cash dividends received subsequently (including those received in the year of investment) are recognized as income for the year. If a financial instrument is derecognized, the difference between the selling price or amount paid and the book value of the financial instrument is recognized as profit or loss. The regular purchase or sale of the financial instruments is recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting. Forward exchange contract, which are derivatives used for trading purposes, are used mainly to avoid risks on exchange rate fluctuations. Derivatives that are not designated as effective hedge instruments are classified as financial assets or financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL in financial assets or liabilities held for trading. If the fair value of the derivative is positive, the derivative is listed as a financial asset; otherwise, the derivative is listed as a financial liability. The fair values of FVTPL instruments are based on the following: (a) listed stocks - closing prices as of the balance sheet date; and (b) open-end beneficial certificates - net asset values as of the balance sheet date. Available-for-sale Financial Assets On initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. When assets are subsequently measured at fair value, the fair value changes (net of tax) are recognized directly in shareholders equity. The cumulative gain or loss that was recognized in shareholders equity is recognized in profit or loss when an available-for-sale financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. The purchase or sale of the financial instruments is recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting. Cash dividends are recognized as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, but are accounted for as reductions to the original cost of investments if such dividends are attributable to periods prior to the purchase of investments. Stock dividends are not recognized as current income but are accounted for only as an increase in the number of shares held. The cost per share is re-calculated based on the new number of shares. The fair values of listed stocks are based on the closing prices on the balance sheet date and those of open-end beneficial certificates, on net asset values as of the balance sheet date. Financial Assets Carried at Cost If there is no active market for an equity instrument and a reliable fair value cannot be estimated, the equity instrument, including unlisted stocks and emerging stocks, etc., is measured at cost. Impairment losses are recognized if a decrease in the fair value of the instruments can be objectively related to an event. Reversal of impairment losses is not allowed. Dividend is accounted for as that of available-for-sale financial assets

10 Impairment of Accounts Receivable An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided on the basis of a review of the collectibility of accounts receivable. The Corporation assesses the probability of collections of accounts receivable by examining the aging analysis of the outstanding receivables and assessing the value of the collateral provided by customers. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, on January 1, 2011, the Corporation adopted the third-time revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. One of the main revisions is that the impairment of receivables originated by the Corporation should be covered by SFAS No. 34. Accounts receivable are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period and considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the accounts receivable, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been affected. Objective evidence of impairment could include: Significant financial difficulty of the debtor; Accounts receivable becoming overdue; or It becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization. Accounts receivable that are assessed not to be impaired individually are further assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of accounts receivable could include the Corporation s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables. The amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, after taking into account the related collateral and guarantees, discounted at the receivable s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When accounts receivable are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account. Recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized as bad debt in profit or loss. Asset Impairment If the recoverable amount of an asset (mainly property, plant and equipment, deferred charges, intangible assets and investments accounted for by the ) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. If an impairment loss reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased accordingly, but the increased carrying amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss on goodwill is disallowed. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the CGU may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the CGU becomes less than its carrying amount, the impairment is allocated to first reduce the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. For long-term equity investments for which the Corporation has significant influence but with no control, the carrying amount (including goodwill) of each investment is compared with its own recoverable amount for the purpose of impairment testing

11 Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at standard cost. Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method Long-term investments in which the Corporation exercises significant influence on the investees are accounted for by the. Equity-method investments are carried at cost on the acquisition date, and this cost is subsequently adjusted for the Corporation s proportionate share in the net income/loss and changes of equity of investees. Cash dividends are recorded as a reduction of the value of long-term investments. The Corporation will stop using the if the Corporation loses its significant influence on the investee because of a decrease in the Corporation s shareholding or other reasons and the prevailing carrying value should be used as the new investment cost. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 - Accounting for Long-term Investments under the Equity Method, the difference between the cost of investment and the Corporation s equity in the investee s net assets should be analyzed and accounted for as follows: If the difference stems from depreciable, depletable or amortizable assets, it should be amortized over five years using the straight line method; otherwise, it should not be amortized and should instead be tested annually for impairment. When the Corporation subscribes for additional shares issued by an investee at a percentage different from its current equity interest, the resulting increase in the Corporation s equity in the investee s net assets is credited to capital surplus. Any decrease in the Corporation s equity in the investee s net assets is debited to capital surplus. Any remaining difference is debited to unappropriated retained earnings if capital surplus is not enough for debiting purposes. Stock dividends are not recognized as investment income but are accounted for only as an increase in the number of shares held. Costs of the investments sold are determined by the weighted-average method. When the Corporation s share in losses of an investee over which the Corporation has control exceeds its investment in the investee, unless the other shareholders of the investee have assumed legal or constructive obligations and have demonstrated the ability to make payments on behalf of the investee, the Corporation has to bear all of the losses in excess of the capital contributed by shareholders of the investee. If the investee subsequently reports profits, such profits are first attributed to the Corporation to the extent of the excess losses previously borne by the Corporation. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Significant additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives of assets, which range as follows: buildings - 10 to 55 years; machinery and equipment - 2 to 12 years; and miscellaneous equipment - 3 to 15 years. If the property, plant and equipment are still in service beyond their original estimated service lives, they are further depreciated over their newly estimated service lives. Upon sale or retirement, the related cost and accumulated depreciation of property, plant and equipment are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is credited or charged to nonoperating gain or loss in the year of disposal

12 Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired are initially recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Core technologies and trademarks should be amortized over five years using the straight-line method. If the source of the intangible assets is unidentifiable, these assets are classified as goodwill, which should be tested annually instead for impairment. Deferred Charges Deferred charges, which mainly refer to royalties, are amortized by the straight-line method over contract periods. Pension Costs Pension cost under a defined benefit plan is determined by actuarial valuations. Contributions made under a defined contribution plan are recognized as pension cost during the employees service periods. Deferred Credits Gains from sales transactions with equity-method investees are deferred in the year of transaction and will be realized and recognized in the year when the gains are realized. Income Tax The inter-period allocation method is used for income tax, which means (1) deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of taxable temporary differences; and (2) deferred income tax assets are recognized for the tax effects of deductible temporary differences, and unused tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided for deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent according to the classification of related assets or liabilities for financial reports. However, if deferred tax assets or liabilities do not relate to assets or liabilities in the financial statements, they are classified as current or noncurrent on the basis of the expected realization period. Tax credits for research and development expenditures, personnel training expenditures, etc. are recognized using the flow-through method. Adjustments of prior years tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year s tax provision. According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings. Treasury Stock The Corporation s buyback of issued shares is accounted for by the cost method and is recorded as a reduction of the shareholders equity. If the proceeds on the disposal of treasury stock exceed the carrying value of treasury stock, the excess is credited to capital surplus from treasury stock. If the proceeds are less than the carrying value of treasury stock, the difference is debited to capital surplus from treasury stock. If the balance of capital surplus from treasury stock is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the rest is recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. On the Corporation s transfer of treasury shares to employees for compensation purposes, the grant-date fair value of the implicit stock options granted is estimated using a stock option pricing model and is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period

13 The Corporation s shares held by its subsidiaries are recorded as treasury stock. Cash dividends received from the Corporation and gain on disposal of the shares are recognized as capital surplus - treasury stock. Revenue Recognition Sales revenues are recognized when titles to products and risks of ownerships are transferred to customers, primarily upon shipment, and are stated at the fair values of settled prices (after taking into consideration of business discount and volume discount). However, receivable from sales maturing within one year or less may not be valued at fair value according to the imputed interest rate when the discrepancy between their fair value and value at maturity is small, and sales occur frequently. Government Subsidies Government subsidies given to the Corporation for the implementation of R&D Alliance Project for key technologies of the high-performance IM motor with 100-kw-class on electric vehicles are deferred and recognized as other income over the project period. 3. EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES Financial Instruments The Corporation adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement on January 1, The main revisions include (1) finance lease receivables are now covered by SFAS No. 34; (2) the scope of the applicability of SFAS No. 34 to insurance contracts is amended; (3) inclusion of loans and receivables originated by the Corporation in the items now covered by SFAS No. 34; (4) the requirement to disclose additional guidelines on impairment testing of financial assets carried at amortized cost if the asset issuer or obligor has financial difficulties and the terms of obligations pertaining to these difficulties have been modified; and (5) the requirement to disclose a debtor s accounting treatment for the modifications in the terms of the obligations. This accounting change had no effect on net income and after income tax basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, Operating Segments The Corporation has adopted the newly issued SFAS No Operating Segments on January 1, The requirements of the statement are based on the information on the components of the Corporation that management uses to make decisions on operating matters. SFAS No. 41 requires the identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Corporation's chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance. This statement supersedes SFAS No Segment Reporting. 4.
