Report Item 1   Proposed by the Board 

Subject: 2017 Business Report   

Explanation:   

Kinpo Electronics, Inc. 

2017 Business Report  Dear shareholders:  First of all, Kinpo Electronics would like to extend appreciation to all our shareholders for the support. Looking back to the year of 2017, Kinpo Electronics spared no efforts in achieving product innovation and quality enhancement for its new business lines. At the  same  time, we  constantly  conducted  precise  tuning  product  positioning while pursuing our new endeavors in the fields of intelligent robots, 3D printing and beauty electronics.      In 2017, Kinpo received numerous recognitions for its innovative products from those renowned  international  players  including  HP, Western  Digital,  Texas  Instruments, Ricoh, Konica Minolta and Toshiba. Kinpo's subsidiaries won two Innovation Awards in the 2018 CES, the consumer technology show held in Las Vegas, USA. XYZprinting won the Innovation Award by Da Vinci Color AiO, its latest full color desk‐top 3D printer, in the 2018 CES yet again, brining one more award to its five‐year consecutive winning record in this prestigious industry exhibition. HiMirror Mini, a smart beauty mirror that analyzes user's skin condition, won the Innovation Award at CES in 2018, for Kinpo as well.            Even with these recognitions  from  the  international communities, Kinpo Electronics understands  it  still  needs  to  address  the  tough  challenges  that  require  all  hi‐tech companies  to  seek  total  transformation  so  as  to  capture  the newest  technological trend.  Despite  the  external  challenges,  the  entire management  team  and  all  the employees at Kinpo possess the courage and spirit to work in solidarity. We believe we will fight our way out and head into the bright future to come.      At  the moment,  the  international politics and  global economy have  stopped being hugely volatile. According to the IMF's most recent forecast on the economy outlook for 2018, the global economy is expected to grow by 3.9%, much higher than the 3.6% growth in 2017, while in 2017 the US grew by 2.3%, the Euro Zone 2.1%, Japan 1.5%, China 6.8%, and Taiwan by 2.58%. Kinpo's consolidated revenues for 2017 reached NT$ 119,200 million, a slight decline if compared to the revenues of previous year at NT$ 123,000 million; the consolidated net income after tax was NT$ 686 million.

For the year of 2017, Kinpo's revenues  in the  lines of  imaging products and storage devices  saw  slight  increase.  The  same  results  also  revealed  that  Kinpo's  efforts  in developing and investing smart appliances have been reaping clear effects, and these new business lines will become the growth momentum for Kinpo in 2018. The market scale of hard disk drive  is still shrinking, while the business  lines  in SSD which Kinpo started to build two years ago are gaining stronger sales on a stable basis. It is expected that SSD will become a significant source for Kinpo's revenues in storage product lines. With its efforts in product restructuring and acquisition of new customers, Kino expects that the sales of Netcom products will recover to the reasonable level as in the past after it weathered the record low in the year of 2017. Furthermore, Kinpo will pick up the  speed  moving  the  manufacturing  of  consumer  electronics  to  its  Philippine factories.  Kinpo  is  also  planning  to  adopt  a  dual  policy  by  developing  own‐brand products and ODM model in light of its first successful endeavor in the beauty industry in 2017.    In order to capture the trends of the IOT and AI, Kinpo injected substantial resources in the AI industry. The service robot XYZrobot has been launched to hospitals, banks, and hotels to provide services to retail customers. HiMirror, world's first smart beauty mirror created by Kinpo, has been launched in the US, Europe, Japan and Taiwan since 2017. Kinpo will continue to develop its owned technology and products in semantic analysis,  human  face  recognition  and  medical  beauty.  Overall,  Kinpo  has  been harvesting  gratifying  results  in  its  newly  invested  business  lines  including  service robots, 3D printing and beauty electronics. Kinpo will keep its own pace dealing with the changes arising  in the  industry and actively tackle with the challenges and trials coming forward.              In the prospect of 2018, the trend of technology revolution that has been stirring up our world can be interpreted as a crisis but an opportunity at the same time. In order to adapt  itself to the ever‐changing environment of the  industry and global market, Kinpo will proceed at a firm and sound pace continuingly with a focus on its operational philosophy "innovation, harmony and surpassing." Meanwhile, Kinpo will do its best to optimize its technology, products, brands, distribution channels and after‐sale services, expecting  itself to establish the new business model combining the development of own brand products and ODM with technology highly concentrated. Last but not least, we  sincerely  appreciate  the  support  and  recognition  provided  by  our  customers, suppliers and the general public. Once again, we would like to express our thanks to all the shareholders who have kindly shown their support along the years. The support from  our  shareholders  not  only means  a  great  deal  to  us,  but  also  gives  us  the motivation to achieve greater! Please  join us moving forward with Kinpo Electronics altogether and embracing the bright future of success.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese To: Kinpo Electronics, Inc. Opinion We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Kinpo Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and notes to the financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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 December 31, 2017 and 2016, and financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 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 2017 financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Revenue Recognition The operating revenue of the Company in 2017 was recognized at NTD 9,014,746 thousand. As the Company had a large number of customers and engaged in sales involving a variety of commercial terms, we have therefore considered the correctness and revenue recognition timing significant and is one of the key audit matters.

‐ 8 ‐ 

For the revenue recognition, we have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to evaluating and testing the internal controls with respect to the revenue cycle, selecting representative samples to test the operation of the designed controls and to examine supporting documents for actual sales transactions, and conducting analytical processes such as gross margin analysis and analysis of changes in the top-ten sales customers list. In addition, we reviewed credit notes the Company issued after the period end in confirmation of the timing and correctness of revenue recognition. We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure in respect of operating revenue in Note 6 of the parent company only financial statement. Investments accounted for using equity method

As of December 31, 2017, the investment accounted for under the equity method amounted to NTD 19,531,884 thousand, which accounted for 65% of the total assets, which is deemed significant to the parent company only financial statements. We reviewed whether the Company had substantive control over its investees. For those investees that the Company had substantive control over, we then reviewed if the investee had been deemed as a consolidated entity. For the long-term equity investments that the Company made significant impact on such investees, we reviewed if the investment was accounted for under the equity method. The appropriateness of the accounting treatment mentioned above had significant impact to the parent company only financial statements, and thus we considered this a key audit matter. We have conduct audit procedures including but not limited to, obtaining the most recent group investment structure chart of the Company; reviewing the changes in group structure and understanding the recognition basis and classification of investments accounted for under the equity method; analyzing the composition of the board of directors and management and the investment contracts to determine whether the investments of the Company were accounted for according to IFRS; verifying whether the Company had obtained audited financial statements when recognizing investment income and other comprehensive income under the equity method. In addition to understanding the impact the investees’ significant events made on the Company’s individual financial statements, we further evaluated whether the measurement of the investment accounted for under the equity method complied with IFRS and IAS. Meanwhile, we verified the existence and ownership of the investment by confirmation or physical count procedures. We also considered the appropriateness of the investments accounted for under the equity method disclosed in Note 6 of the parent company only financial statement. Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method whose statements are based solely on the reports of other auditors. These investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NTD 3,915,168 thousand and NTD 4,662,351 thousand, representing 13% and 15% of the total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The related share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NTD (130,889) thousand and NTD 375,667

thousand, representing (25)% and 25% of the net income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NTD (122,797) thousand and NTD (189,470) thousand, representing (32)% and 14% of the other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 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 or supervisors, 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:

Page 15: Annual Meeting Shareholders Meeting Handbook · Stock Code: 2312 Kinpo Electronics, Inc. 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders Meeting Handbook June 11, 2017

‐ 10 ‐ 

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 and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

5. 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.

6. 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.

‐ 11 ‐ 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2017 the 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.

December 31, 2017 and 2016, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations

Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International

Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed

by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing

Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic

of China.

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 Consolidated Financial

Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries 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 2017 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Revenue Recognition The operating revenue of the Company and its subsidiaries in 2017 was recognized at NTD 119,204,764 thousand. As the Company and its subsidiaries had a large number of customers and engaged in sales involving a variety of commercial terms, we have therefore considered the correctness and revenue recognition timing significant and is one of the key audit matters. For the revenue recognition, we have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to evaluating and testing the internal controls with respect to the revenue cycle, selecting representative samples to test the operation of the designed controls and to examine supporting documents for actual sales transactions, and conducting analytical processes such as gross margin analysis and analysis of changes in the top-ten sales customers list. In addition, we reviewed credit notes the Company issued after the period end in confirmation of the timing and correctness of revenue recognition. We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure in respect of operating revenue in Note 6 of the consolidated financial statement. Impairment of Trade Receivables As at December 31, 2017, the net trade receivables of the Company and its subsidiaries was NTD 25,732,509 thousand, accounted 29% of the consolidated total assets. To determine the allowance for doubtful accounts in respect of trade receivables on account, the management needed to make judgement upon aging profile of outstanding debts, past collection history and the financial condition of the clients. Therefore, we consider the reasonableness of the impairment assessment as one of the key audit matters. We have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to understanding the internal control in respect of determining allowance for trade receivables through inquiring, assessing the rationality of the assumptions and basis applied by management in determining such allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, we conducted analytical procedures on collection periods and debtors movements. We further selected samples from the aging analysis provided by the management to test the correctness of the account and to identify and analyze the reason for occurrence of overdue. To assess the possibility of collecting receivables, we sent out confirmations and tested the subsequent collection for selected samples. We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure in respect of trade receivables and relevant risk in Note 5 and Note 6 of the consolidated financial statement.

Business Combination

According to IFRS 10, regardless of the nature of the investment, it is necessary for the investor to re-assess whether or not it controls an investee when deciding whether the investor is the parent company. Since the Group holds less than 50% of the shares of some consolidated entities, whether the Company has substantive control over the consolidated entities would directly affect the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider business combination as one of the key audit matters. We have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to obtaining the Company’s latest organizational chart of the affiliates and review the related changes. In addition, we reviewed the overall shareholding percentage of each consolidated entity and analyzed the composition of the board of directors and management, the holding percentages of the top ten shareholders, the level of ownership dispersion, attendance rate in shareholders’ meetings, and the related investment contracts to confirm the appropriateness of the Company’s evaluation of the substative control over its consolidated entities. We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure in respect of business combination in Notes 4 and 5 of the consolidated financial statement. Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets of NTD 5,679,625 thousand and NTD 4,917,615 thousand, constituting 6% and 6% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and total operating revenues of NTD 4,150,827 thousand and NTD 2,788,752 thousand, constituting 3% and 2% of consolidated operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 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 audit reports of the other auditors. We did not audit the financial statements of certain associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method whose statements are based solely on the reports of other auditors. These associates and joint ventures for using equity method to NTD 3,296,385 thousand and NTD 3,468,495 thousand, representing 4% and 4% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The related shares of profits from the associates and joint ventures for using equity method amounted to NTD 103,068 thousand and NTD 309,571 thousand, representing 11% and 13% of the consolidated net income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associates and joint ventures for using equity method amounted to NTD (94,526) thousand and NTD (174,231) thousand, representing (18)% and 10% of the consolidated other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance, including audit committee or supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and its subsidiaries. Auditor’s 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 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 consolidated 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 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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

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 and its subsidiaries. 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 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial

statements, including the accompanying notes, 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 Company and its subsidiaries 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 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 2017 consolidated 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.

Item 2  Proposed by the Board 

Subject:  The 2017 earnings distribution proposal of  the Company  is  submitted  for 

ratification. 

Explanations: 

(1)  For distributing 2017 earnings, The Board has prepared  the  following 

earnings  distribution  table  in  accordance  with  relevant  laws  and 

regulations and the Company’s articles of incorporation. 

(2)  It  is  proposed  that  NT$435,624,364  be  appropriated  from  the 

distributable earnings for the year of 2016 to distribute as dividends, all 

of which is to be paid in cash. Each share will receive NT$0.3, and every 

thousand  shares  will  receive  NT$300  in  cash  dividends  without 

consideration. After the proposal is adopted at the annual shareholders’ 

meeting, the shareholders’ meeting is requested to authorize the Board 

to set the ex‐dividend date. The distribution will be made according to 

the number of shares held by shareholders entered in the shareholders’ 

registry on the ex‐dividend date. 

(3)  If there subsequently occurs any change of  laws, any change approved 

by  the  competent authority, or any  change of  common  shares of  the 

Company  (e.g.  transfer  or  cancellation  of  the  Company’s  shares 

repurchased, domestic capital  increase  in cash, exercise of employees’ 

stock  warrants  etc.)  or  other  factors  would  affect  the  number  of 

outstanding shares and, in turn, cause a change in dividend distribution 

ratio  approved  by  the  annual  shareholders’  meeting  requiring  a 

correction,  it  is proposed that the shareholders’ meeting authorize the 

Board of Directors with full powers to make adjustment depending on 

the actual number of outstanding shares. 

(4)  The cash dividend distributed to each shareholder will be rounded down 

to  the  nearest whole  number;  all  numbers  after  the  decimal will  be 

truncated. The total of the truncated NTD amounts will be recognized in 

“other income.”

Discussion Items  

Item 1  Proposed by the Board 

Subject:  The proposal for an initial public offering of shares in Kinpo subsidiary Cal‐

Comp  Technology  (Philippine),  Inc.,  denominated  in  Philippine  pesos  and 

listed  on  the  Philippine  stock  exchange,  is  submitted  for  discussion  and 

resolution. 

Explanation:  I.  Purpose of Public Offering: 

An application to the Philippine stock exchange will be made for the 

public  offering  and  listing  of  shares  in  Cl‐Comp  Technology 

(Philippine), Inc. (CCPH), a Kinpo subsidiary in the Philippines. This is 

in  response  to  the  rapid  economic  growth  of  the  Philippines  and 

ASEAN countries. The offering will increase the visibility of the Kinpo 

group in the Philippines, expand the group’s presence in the Philippine 

market,  and  help  attract  and  motivate  local  professional  talent, 

helping Kinpo become more competitive in the global market. 

II.  Effects on Kinpo’s Finances and Business: 

1. Effects on Finances: 

(1) Once  the  CCPH  offering  is  fully  funded,  the  company’s 

production capacity in southeast Asia can be increased. This will 

provide a source of higher income and profit for the Company 

and  Group,  as  we  can  better  serve  the  global  strategic 

considerations of international clients.     

(2) A  successful public offering  in  the Philippines will provide an 

additional  channel  for  raising  capital,  helping  improve 

fundraising to meet the Company’s future operational funding 

and capital expenditure needs. 

(3) A  successful  public  offering  for  CCPH  in  the  Philippines  will 

significantly increase the Company and Group’s total assets and 

net assets, providing more capital for the Company and Group 

to pursue shareholder interests. 

2. Effects on Business: 

The  development  of  the  Company  and  Group’s  business  in  the 

Philippines will effectively reduce the trade barriers Kinpo faces in 

the  ASEAN  trade  region,  allowing  us  to  reap  the  benefits  of 

participating  in  the  region’s  economic development.  In  addition, 

Page 33: Annual Meeting Shareholders Meeting Handbook · Stock Code: 2312 Kinpo Electronics, Inc. 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders Meeting Handbook June 11, 2017

‐ 26 ‐ 

the Philippines has a young and large workforce that is beneficial to 

the  Company  and Group’s  global manufacturing  strategy.  Public 

listing and fundraising on the Philippine stock market will help the 

Company  and  Group  increase  manufacturing  capacity  in  the 

Philippines in response to growing business in the country, as well 

as  increase name recognition for the Group to further expand  its 

presence  in  the  Philippines.  This will  become  another  source  of 

growth momentum for the Company and Group. 

III. Distribution of Equity: 

An initial public offering of CCPH shares is planned, to be denominated 

in the Philippine peso and listed on the Philippine stock exchange. The 

face  value  of  a  single  share  will  be  1  peso.  Approximately  25% 

(provisional) of total CCPH shares will be made available in this initial 

offering. It is proposed for the board to authorize the CCPH board or 

its authorized agents to determine the final number of shares to be 

issued, in conjunction with the lead underwriter, in accordance with 

Philippine laws and regulations, funding needs, and communications 

with Philippine regulators. 

IV. Use of funds raised in the offering: 

The  funds  raised  in  this  offering  will  mainly  be  invested  in  the 

following ways: 

1. Expanding manufacturing  plants  and  purchasing machinery  and 

equipment,  increasing production capacity to respond to growing 

orders 

2. Repaying bank loans 

3. Providing additional liquidity 

V.  Basis for Equity Distribution Price: 

The price of CCPH’s offering on the stock exchange will be determined 

based on inquiries in accordance with Philippine laws and regulations, 

or  based  on  other  means  approved  by  the  Philippine  securities 

regulator. 

VI. Equity Assignees: 

The  shares will  be  assigned  to  eligible  inquirers,  natural  and  legal 

persons  required  by  Philippine  laws  and  regulations,  and  other 

investors (except those prohibited by Philippine laws and regulations). 

Page 34: Annual Meeting Shareholders Meeting Handbook · Stock Code: 2312 Kinpo Electronics, Inc. 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders Meeting Handbook June 11, 2017

‐ 27 ‐ 

VII.  Effect on continued public trading in Taiwan: 

As CCPH’s public offering  in Philippines complies with all  relevant 

laws and regulations, and CCPH remains an important subsidiary of 

Kinpo, the continued public trading of Kinpo shares in Taiwan will be 

unaffected. 

VIII.  In  support  of  the  initial  public  offering  of  CCPH  shares  on  the 

Philippine market, and the application for  listing on the Philippine 

stock  exchange,  it  is  proposed  that  the  Board  authorize  the 

Chairman or an authorized agent, and/or authorize the CCPH board 

or an authorized agent (as applicable) to act with full discretion  in 

matters relevant to this public offering, making adjustments based
