Dear Shareholders:<br />

I. To Shareholders<br />

Thanks you for your encouragement and support throughout last year.<br />

All IT and communication technology industries have faced touch challenges due to<br />

economic recession last year. <strong>MiTAC</strong> Corp. has always expected ourselves to be the “Best<br />

Regional Partner” for clients and consumers. In <strong>2008</strong>, we survived recession due to an innovative,<br />

holistic technology and an all-in-one providing chain. As always, we provided the most<br />

appropriate solutions, products and services worldwide even in the midst of a global economic<br />

recession.<br />

Sales revenues and profitability<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong>’s sales revenue in <strong>2008</strong> was NT$ 60.809 billion, a 26% decrease from 82,074<br />

billion in 2007. The gross profit before tax was NT$ 635 million and the EPS was NT$ 0.31.<br />

Since <strong>MiTAC</strong> did not release a financial forecast in 2007, there was no need to meet the forecast.<br />

Responding to business environment and products R&D<br />

In <strong>2008</strong>, the IT and communication industries encountered the biggest recession since 1940.<br />

The global recession has caused most consumers to think twice before they purchase, which<br />

directly impacted the high-tech products market. However, <strong>MiTAC</strong> applied multiple approaches<br />

in order to keep more business; for the purpose of making more money for shareholders, we<br />

adopted detailed management, cost control, expanded sources of income and increased<br />

customers’ satisfaction in order to get their next purchase. In ODM and our own brand<br />

companies, <strong>MiTAC</strong> focused on predicting end-users’ needs so we could customize and localize<br />

for ODM clients to augment our competitive edge.<br />

The growth of the IT industry had slowed down, but Portal Navigation Device (PND) with<br />

GPS had maintained its growth. According to the estimate of Canalys, a market research institute,<br />

PND produced 41 million units, compared with 35 million units in 2007, an increase of 17 %.<br />

Canalys also estimated that the production units in 2009 will be 42.8 million.<br />

Under these circumstances, <strong>MiTAC</strong> will keep focusing on PND, which is comprised of<br />

entertainment, Internet and digital mobility. To better fulfill our missing parts for our GPS<br />

subsidiaries: besides Mio and Navman, <strong>MiTAC</strong> acquired Magellan’s GPS consumer product<br />

5


divisions, including the brand name, Magellan, and its related technology and net assets to<br />

enhance the competence in North American market and global navigation devices market.<br />

Furthermore, the advantages of Magellan made <strong>MiTAC</strong> competitive in outdoor navigation and<br />

all satellite GPS lines.<br />

Concerning environmental protection, because global warming has been an increasing<br />

concern, <strong>MiTAC</strong> reacted to the Greenhouse Gas Control Act and the reduction of Green House<br />

Gas (GHG) and has been retrieving GHG since August 2007. Furthermore, in <strong>2008</strong>, Energy<br />

Efficiency Act had influenced our standard procedures. These standard procedures include to use<br />

recycling energies-solar energy, to recycle the recyclables, and reduce energies in economizing<br />

electricity and the management of summer air conditioning and lighting. Our goal was to reduce<br />

the emission of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, regarding R&D of server products, environmental<br />

topics were also the top priority and the target was to boost the efficiency of space and<br />

consumption.<br />

Innovation and R&D<br />

On the topic of innovation and R&D, <strong>MiTAC</strong> has always budgeted at least 2 % of annual<br />

income to reinforce its abilities. <strong>MiTAC</strong> had 161 patents approved in <strong>2008</strong> and was the ninth<br />

place in Taiwan.<br />

To ensure our leading edge, <strong>MiTAC</strong> has always exploited our best advantages, strategic<br />

planning and efficiently financial operation to manage major clients in different areas, and gather<br />

all possible resources to develop our strategic products. The integration of clients and resources<br />

from all areas is to propose proper and customized technologies, services and solutions for every<br />

part of <strong>MiTAC</strong> Corp.<br />

Prospective of 2009<br />

In 2009, <strong>MiTAC</strong> will strengthen the existing GPS and Internet devices and develop<br />

enterprise markets, including servers and storage devices. Based on the successful experience of<br />

<strong>2008</strong>, in 2009, we will continue to tailor-make for individual needs and we wish to continue to be<br />

the Best Regional Partner for advanced technology and solutions worldwide.<br />

About wireless communication products, we will stay on the top three, and we will explore<br />

all hand-held GPS devices and GPS smart mobile phones. The purpose is to design complete<br />

navigating software with all the great features with the Internet services. We wish to be a market<br />

leader in the mobile communication market. Additionally, we will use division strategy on the<br />

6


three brands: Mio, Navman and Magellan; therefore, we will maintain the biggest market share<br />

in each division. We estimate that our PND shipment in 2009 will grow compare to <strong>2008</strong>.<br />

In the development of client system business products, we will actively develop compact<br />

computers, tailor-made products and X86 workstation series products, as well as mobile online<br />

niche market. We hope these lines will maintain our usual shipment volume. In the meantime, we<br />

will work on different targeted audiences to expand our market. To develop enterprise products,<br />

we not only work on servers to keep our edge, but also work on storage devices to develop new<br />

clients and increase shipment volume, as well as the market share of TYAN and channel<br />

coverage rate. Meanwhile, on high-level server products, we target on high-speed computing<br />

clusters and their applications and we will research and develop more high-density and energy<br />

efficient Rack-mounted Server Quasi-system.<br />

In the next year, <strong>MiTAC</strong> Corp. will fulfill all of our customers’ needs based upon our core<br />

values of “Innovation, Change and Teamwork” and our excellent operation and information<br />

systems. We will also create and satisfy our clients by customized products and services. We are<br />

to be the “Best Regional Partner: in your area. And we will remain to be one of the leading<br />

companies in the world.<br />

Best Regards<br />

Matthew Miau<br />

people who control them. And by the “Securities and<br />

Exchange Law”, the company reports the number of shares<br />

executing it. Besides the implementation of self checks, the<br />

Board and the management review the audit reports and the<br />

results of self check regularly and irregularly in order to put<br />

the internal control system into practice. With the auditing<br />

system, we comply with the requirement of the complete<br />

finances, sales, and accounting for a public firm and we<br />

lower the operation risks. Our relationship with affiliates is<br />

directors execute by law, the company charter, and<br />

shareholders’ meeting agreements.<br />

considers the need to replace a new CPA every five years. All<br />

CPAs are appointed by the Board and have no common<br />

interests with the company. Additionally, all appointed CPAs<br />

are from professional and independent CPA firm in Taiwan.<br />

Parties whose interests are affected by the actions of the company can<br />

Governance Practices for Publicly Listed Companies” and the<br />

relevant law.<br />

Declaration of the Internal Control System<br />

Date: April 24, 2009<br />

The company has the following declaration made for the internal control system valued in<br />

the period of January 1 and December 31, <strong>2008</strong>:<br />

1. The company is aware that internal control system is the Board of Directors and the<br />

management’s responsibility to establish, enforce, and maintain. The company has<br />

systems set up to reasonably assure the operating effectiveness and efficiency in<br />

profitability, performance, and assets safety, the reliability of financial statements and<br />

regulation.<br />

2. The internal control system has its limitations; no matter how perfect an internal control<br />

system is designed, an effective system provides only a reasonable assurance of the<br />

aforementioned three objectives. Moreover, the effectiveness of the internal control<br />

system may be affected by the change of environment and situation. The company’s<br />

internal control system has a self-supervision mechanism; therefore, the company is able<br />

to act immediately once any nonconformity is identified.<br />

3. The Company evaluates the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control<br />

system based on the criteria provided in the “Regulations Governing Establishment of<br />

Internal Control Systems by Public Companies” (hereinafter, the “Regulations”). The<br />

criteria adopted by the Regulations identify five constituent elements of internal control<br />

based on the process of management control: (1) control environment, (2) risk<br />

assessment, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication, and (5)<br />

monitoring. Each constituent element further contains several items. Please refer to the<br />

Regulations for details.<br />

4. The company has applied the aforementioned internal control criteria to examine the<br />

design and performance of the system.<br />

5. Based on the findings of the evaluation mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the<br />

Company believes that, during the year <strong>2008</strong>, its internal control system (including its<br />

supervision of subsidiaries), as well as its internal controls to monitor the achievement<br />

of its objectives concerning operational effectiveness and efficiency, reliability of<br />

financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, were effective<br />

in design and operation, and reasonably assured the achievement of the achievement of<br />

the above-stated objectives.<br />

6. The declaration will be included in the annual report and all information will be released<br />

to the public. Any false-hood or concealment will cause a violation against Article 20,<br />

Article 32, Article 171, and Article 174 of Securities and Exchange Law and will be held<br />

responsible by law.<br />

7. The Board of Directors approved the declaration unanimously on April 24, 2009 in the<br />

presence of five directors.<br />

Chairman : Matthew Miau<br />

General Manager : Billy Ho<br />

providing US$1,846,600 for the endorsement to the TOP WISDOM INTERNATIONAL<br />

CORP. (TOP WISDOM Co.) during Feb 8, 2007 ~ Aug 16, 2007; since <strong>MiTAC</strong> had no<br />

business connections with the TOP WISDOM or direct or indirect parent-subsidiary<br />

corporate relation for more than 50% of share holding, nor conforming to the regulation of<br />

endorsing proportional to each shareholder’s shareholding rate as defined in Item 2,<br />

Article 5 of the “ Regulation Governing Loaning of Funds and Making of Endorsement /<br />

Guarantees by Public Companies”. Therefore, the person-in-charge of <strong>MiTAC</strong> was fined<br />

for NT$ 240 thousand, according to the “Securities and Exchange Law”.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> has offered no further endorsement to TOP WISDOM Co. since Aug 16,<br />

2007.<br />

6) Dividend policy and its implementation<br />

(1) Company dividend policy:<br />

The company is in a growing industry; hence the life cycle of the company<br />

grows with the industry. In order to take our industry’s conditions, long-term<br />

financial planning, and future cash flow into consideration, and also to satisfy<br />

shareholders’ demand for cash inflow, the company has withdrawn 10% of its<br />

earnings as a legal reserve. This 10 %, after making up for deficits of previous<br />

years and tax deductibles, will have 5% leftover for employees’ bonus. The<br />

other, with remaining amounts from previous years, will be distributed after<br />

approval during the Board of Directors’ and the shareholders’ meeting.<br />

If the bonus is decided to be distributed in stocks, any employee who fits the<br />

profiles, which are set by the CEO, will be entitled to receive the bonus.<br />

The ratio of cash and stocks allocation will be decided by the Board of<br />

Directors from different aspects: financial structure, future cash flow, and<br />

profitability. The cash bonus will not exceed 10% of the stocks bonus. But the<br />

number needs to be approved by the shareholders.<br />

(2) The resolution for dividend distribution at the shareholders’ meeting:<br />

Based on the principles above, the Board of Directors drafted a proposal for<br />

dividend distribution at its meeting on Apr 24, 2009. This proposal covers<br />

dividends for the fiscal year of <strong>2008</strong> and the dividend per share is NT$0.2. The<br />

proposal will be presented for approval at the shareholder’s meeting on June 10,<br />

2009.<br />

(3) Expected change of dividend policy: None.<br />

7) Impact on the company’s performance and earnings per share at stock grants set for<br />

the consideration of this year’s shareholders’ meeting: N/A.<br />

8) Employee bonuses and Remuneration for Directors and Supervisors:<br />

(1) Percentage of employees’ bonuses and remuneration for directors and supervisors<br />

as set forth in the company charter:<br />

A. Employee bonus: Where the company has earnings at the end of a business year,<br />

after all tax deductibles and cumulative deficits from past year, a ten percent of<br />

legal reserve, plus special earnings surplus and payment of interest on stocks, a<br />

minimum of 5% of the remainder will be the employees’ bonus.<br />

B. Percentage of remuneration for directors and supervisors: not specified in the<br />

company charter.<br />

(2) Information on the proposed scheme for distribution of employees’ bonus as<br />

approved by the Board of Directors:<br />

On Apr. 24, 2009, the Board of Directors passed a resolution on the<br />

distribution of earnings in <strong>2008</strong>, the details are as follows:<br />

A. Employees’ cash bonuses: NT$20,772,910 and Supervisor and Directors’<br />

remuneration: NT$ 2,000 thousand.<br />

B. After-tax basic earnings per share is NT$ 0.31 after accounting for employees’<br />

bonus and remuneration for directors and supervisors.<br />

(1) Converting price<br />

The price of the convertible bond is based on the cutoff date of July 28, 2005.The<br />

converting price (rounded up to the first decimal of New Taiwan Dollar) of the<br />

Company’s convertible bond is based on the average closing price of the Company’s<br />

common stock on the prior business day, prior three business days, or on the prior five<br />

business days by 112% converting premium rate. For any Ex-right and Ex-dividend<br />

enforced before the cutoff date, the sampled closing price for calculating the converting<br />

price must be translated to the Ex-right or Ex-dividend price. If there is any Ex-right or<br />

Ex-dividend enforced after determining the converting price and before the issuance<br />

date, the converting price is to be adjusted accordingly. The bond converting price is<br />

NT$48 per share.<br />

(2) Converting price adjustment<br />

1) Except for the Company’s marketable securities with debt-for-equity SWAP or stock<br />

option exchanged for common stock and private marketable security, upon the<br />

issuance of the converting bond by the Company, converting price is to be adjusted<br />

according to the following equation (rounded up to the first decimal of New Taiwan<br />

Dollars) while there is additional common stock shares issued (recapitalization of<br />

cash, surplus, additional paid-in capital, employee’s bonus, issuing new stock shares<br />

for merger or accepting stock shares of another company, stock split and<br />

recapitalization of cash for attending global depository receipt) by the Company; also,<br />

please contact GreTai Securities Market (referred to as “GreTai” hereinafter) to have<br />

Note 1: The outstanding shares are the net of the Treasury stock shares that are not<br />

yet cancelled or transferred.<br />

Note 2: The proceeds collected per share are zero for stock dividend or stock split.<br />

Note 3: The proceeds collected per share of the new bonus shares recapitalization of<br />

merger is the certified net worth per share of the discontinued company<br />

before the merger cutoff date by SWAP ratio. The proceeds collected per<br />

share of the new bonus shares for the shares accepted from the other<br />

company are the certified or reviewed net worth per share of the said<br />

company by SWAP ratio.<br />

Note 4: If the price of new bonus shares is adjusted on the Ex-right cut-off date of the<br />

recapitalization of cash, it is to be adjusted according to the updated new<br />

bonus share price and the aforementioned equation. If the updated<br />

converting price is lower than the converting price announced prior to the<br />

Ex-right cut-off date, please contact the GreTai to have the updated<br />

converting price announced.<br />

Note 5: If it is a recapitalization of merger, the converting price is to be adjusted on


the merger cut-off date. If it is a recapitalization of stock split, the<br />

converting price is to be adjusted on the stock split cut-off date. If the<br />

recapitalization of cash is by pricing and purchasing or if the recapitalization<br />

of cash is by attending global depository receipt, since there is not an<br />

Ex-right cut-off date designated, the converting price is to be adjusted upon<br />

the completion of stock issuance.<br />

2) Upon the issuance of the convertible debenture bond, if the Company has marketable<br />

securities with debt-for-equity SWAP or stock option issued at the price lower than<br />

the transfer price per share (Note 1) or stock option price, or, if debt-for-equity<br />

SWAP is offered to others for a reason other than the recapitalization of cash,<br />

converting price is to be adjusted according to the following equation (rounded up to<br />

the first decimal of New Taiwan Dollar) also, please contact the GreTai to have the<br />

converting price adjusted on the issuance date of the marketable security or stock<br />

3) Upon the issuance of the convertible debenture bond, if the outstanding common<br />

stock shares are reduced for a reason other than the cancellation of Treasury stock,<br />

Outstanding common shares after decapitalization<br />

Note 1: The outstanding shares are net of the Treasury stock shares that are not yet<br />

cancelled or transferred.<br />

(3) Converting price reset<br />

In addition to having the converting price adjusted according to the aforementioned<br />

anti-dilution clause, the Company is to have the price reset on the date when it is issued<br />

for six months and the stock dividend ex-right cutoff date or ex-dividend cutoff date<br />

(whichever is later) from 2007 to 2010.If there is no stock dividend or cash dividend<br />

distributed in the year, the converting price (no adjustment is needed if it is higher than<br />

the converting price of the year before the price reset) is to be reset on the cutoff date of<br />

July 5th according to the pricing model for converting price in clause (1).The adjusted


converting price may not be lower than an amount equivalent to 80% of the converting<br />

price at the time of issuance (adjustment can be made while the total amount of<br />

common stock changed); also, please inform GreTai in writing to announce the updated<br />

converting price. The regulation of converting price reset does not apply to the request<br />

for conversion made before or on the cutoff date.<br />

(4) Converting price adjustment on the ex-dividend date<br />

Upon the issuance of the converting bond, if the ratio of cash dividend distributed for<br />

the Company’s common stock to common stock capital exceeds 15%, the converting<br />

price should be adjusted proportionally to the part beyond 15% on the ex-dividend<br />

cutoff date; also, please inform GreTai in writing to announce the updated converting<br />

price. The said regulation of having converting price adjusted down does not apply to<br />

the request for conversion made before the ex-dividend cutoff date. The equation of<br />

adjustment is illustrated as follows:<br />

Adjusted converting price = Converting price before adjustment – (The ratio of cash<br />

dividend distributed for the Company’s common stock to common stock capital-15%) x<br />

10<br />

12. OTC and off OTC of converting debenture bond<br />

The converting bond is traded over-the-counter once an application is filed to the GreTai<br />

before the issuance date and it is off OTC trade once the Company converts it to common<br />

stock or call or buyback entirely.<br />

13. New bonus shares<br />

The common stock of the Company that is traded for the converting bond will be traded in<br />

the stock market from the date the common stock delivered. The Company will contact<br />

the Stock Exchange Corporation to have the said arrangement announced. If the Company<br />

has the common stock issued virtually, it is to be traded virtually in the stock market from<br />

the delivery date.<br />

14. Registration of stock capital change<br />

The Company is to have the stock shares and stock value issued for the conversion of the<br />

converting bond in the last quarter announced in 15 days at the end of the quarter.<br />

Moreover, an application for stock capital change is to be filed to the competent<br />

authorities at least once quarterly.<br />

15. Conversion of odd shares<br />

For debt-for-equity swap, the Company will pay cash for anything less than one share<br />

(2) Overview of the industry:<br />

The following summarizes the situation for <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s four main product lines.<br />

1) Client system business products<br />

A. According to the latest research from IDC, the global demand for PCs has been<br />

dropping drastically due to the economical crisis. IDC predicted that the shipping<br />

quantity of global PCs will be 314 million units, and their growth rate will hit 3.8 %<br />

and sales will decrease by 5.3% in 2009.<br />

B. According to IDC, consumers’ highly acceptance of laptops, price dropping and<br />

replacement of the old PCs are still the major reasons to purchase in the PC market.<br />

Although inexpensive mini laptops increase the volume for production, overall, the<br />

lowered profit margins have caused some pressure on profitability for vendors. Most<br />

importantly, due to the impact of the recession, all consumers and enterprises will<br />

think twice before they purchase; even though the low price strategy creates more<br />

sales, the growth for shipping quantity of PCs’ have still fallen below past<br />

performance.<br />

C. In home product market, client system business has been repositioned, with their raw<br />

processing horsepower deemphasized and the focus shifted to their use in multimedia<br />

entertainment and digital home applications. As a result, personal computers are<br />

integrating functionality related to graphics, video, audio, and data, and all of above<br />

are to initiate a new phase of strong growth.<br />

D. Under demands of building high security and a highly-efficient remote control, all<br />

business computers of <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s urgently need our vendors to integrate our brand<br />

with the system. Our goal is to precisely meet <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s powerful system’s<br />

integration capability, to work with world-known manufacturers, and then to achieve<br />

a steady growth in the future.<br />

E. Due to the difficulty in increasing demands on client computers world-wide, <strong>MiTAC</strong><br />

will systemically integrate all our superiority in order to supply customers the<br />

barebones systems, a full system and a total solution.<br />

F. Since many worldly famous companies have started a price war, it will be a great<br />

advantage for all Taiwanese companies to obtain orders from other vendors due to<br />

our low price. While worldwide famous companies continue to outsource, we believe<br />

that Taiwanese companies will benefit from this.<br />

G. The application of Cloud Computing has made thin computers popular. From the<br />

development of remote control, to local server, and from tiny monitors to VOIP and<br />

video conference devices, the market is calling for the mainframe supported multiple<br />

high-definition monitors without fans.<br />

H. All-in-one computers have been rapidly growing in popularity. In fact, there are many<br />

reasons to cause AIO DT to be popular again. Firstly, monitors are getting too big for<br />

computer desks. 22 to 24 inches monitors are already oversized; hence monitors have<br />

reached their limits. Secondly, the improvement of DT’s modules has made<br />

computer upgrades less necessary. Therefore, there will be less of a reason to separate<br />

monitors and DT, so all-in-one DT has been much more stylish and popular. In 2009,<br />

DT has been developed in two totally different directions: one is slim, small,<br />

60<br />

Units: Million


lightweight, inexpensive, low power consumption and a friendly design and is for<br />

word processing and web browsing purposes. NettopAIO DT are type one. The<br />

other direction is high-end, high-efficiency, high-cost, energy intensive and with a<br />

metallic look. They are mainly used for video games and high-definition conference.<br />

“Enthusiastic PC system” is the type of this cutting edge model.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> has been working on not only the completion of production lines on<br />

all-in-one products for their differentiation and design, but also R&D sub-generation<br />

products with major PC OEM vendors. We hope to increase sales of components and<br />

high- value-added products.<br />

I. The concepts of creativity, low cost and simplicity have become popular in the<br />

mainstream market.<br />

2) Enterprise products<br />

Servers are used mainly for building corporate information systems, making them an<br />

essential infrastructure investment for businesses. Because information systems are a<br />

critical tool for any modern corporation seeking to sustain its operations, companies place<br />

great importance on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) when it comes to purchasing servers.<br />

TCO includes the business costs incurred when the system is not operational as well as<br />

regular maintenance costs. Therefore, they demand Reliability, Availability,<br />

Serviceability, Usability, and Manageability – characteristics that are collectively termed<br />

RASUM – from servers, which consequently require longer time for product development<br />

and testing. Once products are introduced on the market, they have correspondingly<br />

higher margins and longer product life cycles. As a result, major multinational server<br />

vendors are relatively cautious when it comes to outsourcing manufacturing or design of<br />

their server products, and building a business partnership requires a longer time. Besides<br />

hardware products, software products are another important factor in the quality of<br />

services provided by servers.<br />

In terms of product types, traditional pedestal servers are already seeing gradual<br />

decreases in their share of shipments in the American market. Replacing them as the<br />

mainstream choice are rack-mounted servers, and this shift should become evident in<br />

Europe and Asia as well over the next one or two years. Following rack-mounted servers<br />

are highly computing-density blade servers. Because of the more stringent heat<br />

dissipation demands of rack-mounted and blade servers stemming from their high<br />

computation densities, vendors in this segment will be spending more for R&D and allied<br />

investment than was necessary in the past for pedestal servers.<br />

As for the storage device market, in the past, under the circumstances of closed supply<br />

structure and the production amount of uniform model of products were small, vendors<br />

rarely outsourced from Asian regions since the manufacturing profits were sufficient.<br />

However, in the past two years, terrible market competition has forced vendors to seek<br />

outsourcing partners in Asia; this will result in storage vendors outsourcing a greater<br />

proportion of their manufacturing, which will greatly benefit Taiwanese vendors.<br />

3) Wireless communications products<br />

A. Current state of the industry and prospects<br />

a. Portable Navigation Device<br />

GPS has made a big technological breakthrough in minimization and<br />

61


energy-efficiency; additionally, the cost of parts has decreased and digital mapping<br />

technique have reached maturity; therefore, GPS is getting popular. According to<br />

the research data, there will be 3 billion GPS users by 2020. They predicted the<br />

market will reach the value of NT$16 trillion. Also, the GPS navigation market will<br />

be EUR$ 2.7 trillion worldwide.<br />

On the other hand, according to Canalys’ latest market data, shipment for PND<br />

in <strong>2008</strong> was 41 million units; compared to 35 million units in 2007, its growth rate<br />

was 17%, which was able to grow under the economic recession. They predict it<br />

will be 42.8 million units in 2009.<br />

There are more and more companies and brands joining the PND market every<br />

day. We believe that GPS will develop toward a combination of cell phone, camera<br />

and other great services. Even though GPS producers will add more functions, their<br />

prices will drop. Many GPS companies merged the suppliers who provide maps &<br />

information of GPS, in order to control the cost of production. Overall, there are<br />

more than 800 million cars in the world that have not yet been equipped with a GPS.<br />

Furthermore, the cost to add built- in GPS for car manufactures is still high, so we<br />

believe there will be a potential GPS market.<br />

b. Smart Phones<br />

The year of <strong>2008</strong> is an official take-off year for GPS. The main driving forces<br />

of GPS cell phones are from the completion of law regulation, the progress of micro<br />

process in wafer graphics and packing technologies, solution for single-chip<br />

semiconductors, a better digital navigation map, state-of-art mapping software and<br />

finally, mobile based services. These factors are stimulations for the market to<br />

bloom. According to ABI Research, they estimate that GPS phone shipments will<br />

increase from 240 million units in <strong>2008</strong> to 550 million units in 2012; they believe<br />

that GPS smart phones will take 30% of the market share. The market of GPS cell<br />

phones will be over US$100 billion.<br />

On the other hand, smart phone manufacturers are trying to include navigation<br />

services and location-based services into smart phones. More than 70% of cell<br />

phones have built-in GPS and in the 4th quarter of <strong>2008</strong>, a total of 4 million<br />

navigation sets were sold, which is a 100% increase compared to 2007.<br />

B. Connections among the industry’s upstream, midstream and downstream<br />

Approximately 80% of personal GPS devices are made and installed by<br />

Taiwanese vendors, which shows that the powerful integrating capability of<br />

Taiwanese GPS vendors throughout the GPS industry’s supply chain. Handheld<br />

devices industry belongs to “short, small, light and thin”, so they are both easy to<br />

carry and stylish. Therefore, from innovative and fashionable design on the outside, to<br />

testing and whole machine production, vendors are required to make GPS devices<br />

all-in-one embedded hardware and software. Specifically, all upstream and<br />

mid-stream vendors produce key hardware components including microprocessors,<br />

displays, touch panels, memories, IC drivers, batteries, acoustic filter, quartz<br />

oscillator, objective devices, antenna, GPS chipset, GPS module, receiver, connectors<br />

and pushbuttons, etc. They also produce integration devices, GIS graphic data<br />

62


terminals, and digital content and software applications. Downstream vendors are<br />

mainly OEM/ODM clients and channel providers.<br />

C. Product trends<br />

Handheld devices are “portable information” devices. They also incorporate the<br />

latest web applications and wireless technology to access personal information any<br />

time anywhere. All handheld products aim at different audiences. Detailed<br />

description is as below:<br />

a. Portable Navigation Devices<br />

In <strong>2008</strong>, the trend of PND-embedded products combine with other electronic<br />

products had been more significant. Many PND products are equipped with GPS,<br />

digital TV, DAB and PMP, some even with MP3, Blue Tooth, iPod and USB for<br />

audio identification and voice synchronizer.<br />

Because it is a trend to equip real-time information, i.e. traffic report, POI<br />

search and other life assistance, adding all kind of online services into PND will<br />

make it become a Must-Have for everyone.<br />

Besides, different countries require different functions for GPS products: the<br />

Asia-Pacific consumers pay more attention on multimedia entertainment, i.e.<br />

digital TV and DVD; whereas Japanese who have the No. 1 GPS penetration rate<br />

in the world pay more attention on traffic information and 3D satellite navigation<br />

capability. As for Europeans and Americans, consumers rather emphasize driving<br />

safety and emergency communication, while North Americans prefer a simple<br />

operating interface. As a result, we can predict that GPS will develop toward<br />

inexpensive, small, and multi-functional, and will require different marketing<br />

approaches.<br />

b. Smart Phones<br />

Research data estimates that the market for smart phones is 200 million units<br />

and their annual growth rate will be 15% over the next 3 to 5 years. It will be a<br />

huge market. They predict that there will be 540 million units GPS shipped in 2010<br />

and Europe will become the next largest GPS market. The main function of GPS is<br />

to transmit data; therefore, GPS with Microsoft operating system will become the<br />

fastest growing platform in communication, multimedia, word processing and<br />

E-mails.<br />

D. Change of market share<br />

a. Merging<br />

Many PND and cell phone manufacturers merged graphics vendors or other<br />

suppliers to lower costs on software and hardware in <strong>2008</strong>, such as Navigator<br />

TomTom who bought Dutch TeleAtlas (TA); Nokia merged graphics company<br />

Navteq. As for <strong>MiTAC</strong>, we purchased Navman and will continue to cooperate with<br />

good graphics companies and will divide markets by providing added-values.<br />

b. Competition among vendors<br />

Handheld products will be much more competitive and diverse after all 3C<br />

manufacturers enter this market. <strong>MiTAC</strong> has aimed at consumers whose demands<br />

are to have easy-to-use interfaces, and then we are to develop completion of<br />

63


graphics and data and diverse products.<br />

As for smart phones, shipments are growing so rapidly that they represent an<br />

enormous business opportunity. <strong>MiTAC</strong> has already introduced several Microsoft<br />

OS-based smart phones that have had great feedback. In <strong>2008</strong>, we still applied<br />

smart navigation phones with communications and digital life data to satisfy<br />

business users’ needs for mobile information. We plan to launch 3G GPS smart<br />

phones in 2009.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong>’s advantages are our R&D, manufacturing quality, cost controls and<br />

mobile localization. In particular, we use market trends, customer satisfaction and<br />

actively meet clients’ needs to develop our competency. Through strategic<br />

alliances with major international vendors in software, hardware, and mobile<br />

communication services to get new orders, <strong>MiTAC</strong> has 7% of the market shares<br />

and is the third place at the market. After merging with the 4th company, Magellan,<br />

it will increase the market share in North America and tremendously increase<br />

profits.<br />

4) Enterprise and channel server products/ workstation<br />

A. Product Status<br />

Generally, we can divide servers and workstation into two categories. One is<br />

non-X86, which is designed for special and professional users, including CISC, RISC<br />

and EPIC. The other type is the mainstream X 86, which is designed for all kinds of<br />

businesses and companies. <strong>MiTAC</strong> produces X 86 servers/ workstation for business<br />

solutions and channel servers/ work platform for channel market.<br />

B. Market Status<br />

According to IDC report dated in March <strong>2008</strong>, the server industry continued to<br />

grow and X86 had gradually occupied market and became the mainstream in the<br />

server industry (See Table 1). It is anticipated to grow from 32.4 billion in <strong>2008</strong> to<br />

38.8 billion in 2012. <strong>Annual</strong> growth for chip and operational servers could reach<br />

4.7% (See Table 2). Due to the globally economic recession in <strong>2008</strong>, clients will<br />

think twice before investing in IT, so the X86 will probably become the top choice<br />

and take over the non-X86’s market.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> has contributed to designing and producing X86 server platforms for a long<br />

time. We launched Intel and AMD platforms for channel market and made the top IT<br />

investment choice, ROI in 2009 and 2010. We estimate that <strong>MiTAC</strong> will take 10% of<br />

the server and workstation market share in Intel and 40% share in the AMD, about 10%<br />

of the X86 server markets. We also customize total solutions for professional clients to<br />

get a bigger market share.<br />

High-density servers: We have always worked on innovation so we launched<br />

many high-density servers in <strong>2008</strong>. One of them is 5U 10 node server, which<br />

contains move 10 dual servers a 5U box, which minimizes the space needed for<br />

blade servers. Additionally, we launched low-cost and high-density and high<br />

operating performance blade server para-system. Its advantages are small so<br />

clients can save more space in control room and lower its operation cost;<br />

therefore, the system has become the leading brand.<br />

(4) Long- and short-term business plans<br />

1) Client system business products<br />

A. For short-term business plans: The US, Europe, and Japan are the major PC markets.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong>’s has focused on these markets, and will continue to develop further ODM<br />

2. Market and sales overview<br />

(1) Market analysis<br />

A. Sales regions of main products<br />

Unit: NT$ Thousand<br />

Regions <strong>2008</strong><br />

N. America 21,872,165<br />

Europe 17,751,439<br />

Asia & Australia 20,464,888<br />

Taiwan 720,933<br />

Total 60,809,425<br />

B. Market share<br />

(a) Client system business products<br />

According to IDC, computer sales for client system business computers in <strong>2008</strong> were<br />

approximately 156 million units. <strong>MiTAC</strong> sold roughly 6.6 million entry-level and<br />

midrange workstations and client system business computers, for a market share of<br />

roughly 4.23%.<br />

The majority of <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s OEM customers are the top ten PC brand vendors.<br />

(b) Enterprise products<br />

Because <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s products are mainly produced for ODM customers, it is more<br />

difficult to gauge their market share. Drawing on many years of experience, Taiwan’s<br />

major IT vendors are already able to provide integrated global logistics management,<br />

providing customers with the best possible competitive advantage by coordinating<br />

design, testing, manufacturing, assembly, and distribution with the customer’s market<br />

launch timetable. The evident trend towards international brand vendors continuing to<br />

seek Taiwanese partners shows that more and more non-PC products will be seeking<br />

their design and manufacture outsourced to Taiwanese companies. Most Taiwanese<br />

companies, including <strong>MiTAC</strong>, can anticipate enhanced competitiveness through this<br />

type of alliance, helping them expand market share.<br />

(c) Wireless communications products<br />

In 2007, GPS products were a popular product. The global PND shipments were 35<br />

million units in 2007, and global GPS shipments of about 41 million units, an increase<br />

of 17% in <strong>2008</strong>. According to Canalys, the American market has become the biggest<br />

PND market. America has 52% of market share and EMEA in Africa has 36% of<br />

market share.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> has complete lines in midrange, high-end and entry-level. Although in <strong>2008</strong>,<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> only shipped 4.43 million units, looking at different regions in the world, we<br />

can see:<br />

1) European market<br />

A marketing research institute estimated 21 million units in Western Europe and 2<br />

million units in Eastern Europe will be sold in 2009. <strong>MiTAC</strong> has had a stable<br />

growth in the pan Europe market. <strong>MiTAC</strong> has 8 % of market share in Western<br />

Europe and 20% of the market share in Eastern Europe, thus we are a leading<br />

69


and.<br />

2) North America market<br />

In <strong>2008</strong>, a total of GPS shipment to North America was 19 million units.<br />

Although affected by the recession, all brands held clearance sales before the New<br />

Year. However, in Q4, <strong>2008</strong>, there was a growth of 20% in North America and a<br />

growth of 44% compared to the whole year of <strong>2008</strong>, which was a much better<br />

performance than a decrease of 26% of EMEA. Canalys predicted that the total<br />

shipment will reach 26 million units in 2009. <strong>MiTAC</strong> is the 4 th GPS brand in<br />

America for 450 thousand units sold in North America in <strong>2008</strong>. We know our<br />

market share will climb up more after merging with Magellan, which was the No.3<br />

brand in North America.<br />

3) Asia-Pacific market<br />

The Asia-Pacific area is the second fastest growing area in the world. In <strong>2008</strong>,<br />

there were 4 million GPS units sold in this area and Canalys predicted it will be a<br />

total of 6 million shipments in 2009. <strong>MiTAC</strong> merged with Navman in 2007 and<br />

became the top GPS brand in the Asia-Pacific area.<br />

According to IDC, there were 1.18 billion cell phones sold in the world in <strong>2008</strong>,<br />

which is an increase of 3.5 % from the year before. IDC also indicated that, on the<br />

optimistic side, the sales of smart phones also had a growth of 22.5% in <strong>2008</strong> from<br />

the year before.<br />

In terms of the Japanese market, GPS smart phones have mature services. Under<br />

the push of operators and cell phone manufacturers, we predicted that the GPS<br />

phones penetration rate in 2010 will be 91.9%, No.1 in the world. However, Europe<br />

will become our next GPS smart phone market.<br />

(d) Enterprise and channel servers / workstation products<br />

According to IDC report dated in March <strong>2008</strong>, X86 servers will take over the<br />

market and become the mainstream server in the industry. From 32.4 billion in <strong>2008</strong><br />

to 38.8 billion in 2012, the average annual growth will be 4.7%. And the shipments<br />

will increase to 10.11 million units from 9.75 million units in <strong>2008</strong>. For X86 servers,<br />

we estimated a 4.5 % drop in 2009 and a 3.2% drop if excluding North America.<br />

Overall, the server channel market will be slightly affected. Compared to their high<br />

cost in purchasing and operation, X86 servers have great advantages in cost and<br />

efficiency. Hence they will become the top choice when changing IT devices.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> is estimated that we will take over 10% of the X86 server markets.<br />

C. Supply and demand projections in the future<br />

(a) Client system business products<br />

PCs have undergone many changes in the last twenty years and have reached<br />

maturity. As for the U.S., Europe and Japan markets, the market is quite saturated, so<br />

there is little room to grow. As for rising markets like China, India and South America,<br />

because PCs there are not as common as in developed countries, we believe that we<br />

will be able to maintain a positive growth in the future.<br />

Besides common PC products, <strong>MiTAC</strong> has been actively studying high-value<br />

70


added products, like all-in-one integration PCs and thin computers for cloud<br />

calculating and other high-value products.<br />

(b) Enterprise products<br />

With economic recovery more clear, enterprises are more willing to invest in IT;<br />

therefore, the server market has seen some growth, and international servers are also on<br />

the rise. Global server shipments have grown by 10% since 2003.<br />

In response to the increase in shipment but the decrease in prices, major<br />

international vendors have been outsourcing in order to gain more advantages.<br />

Taiwanese companies have competitive edges in low cost, quick R&D and flexibility<br />

of delivery time. Therefore, the scale of the server industry has grown because of the<br />

increase of orders. Even though most are entry-level and low-end products, the<br />

increase in volume and more expensive rack-optimized and blade servers are<br />

compensating for falling prices for some components, so that the overall shipment<br />

value continues to show growth.<br />

For the prospects of Taiwanese servers market in 2009: under the economic<br />

recession, we estimate that it will be a flat line or slight decline. But for new products<br />

like blade servers and iSCSI storage devices, we predict a relatively outstanding<br />

growth.<br />

(c) Wireless communications products<br />

GPS shipments are still increasing despite the economic recession. All suppliers<br />

are eager to design an innovative and creative product. When all the convenience,<br />

precision, acceptable prices, common applications in recreation and car use start to<br />

work, the combination of GPS will create a maximum market.<br />

According to the investigation report of Goldman Sachs, in all global navigation<br />

devices in <strong>2008</strong>, PND weighs 70 % and GPS and PDA take 10% of each in the market,<br />

and the rest 10% is installed in automobiles. In the report, they predict that GPS will<br />

grow to 20 % and PND will lower to 61 % in 2010.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> has been developing our own brand and working deeply with windows<br />

OS mobile of platform; hence, we believe the strategies of continuous product<br />

development, technical advantage and strategic alliance with worldly famous vendors<br />

will benefit us on getting new orders and exploring new market.<br />

(d) Enterprise and channel / workstation products<br />

<strong>International</strong> brands have shown more concerns regarding IT equipment<br />

investments. They want high-efficiency, high ROI, and low cost on purchasing and<br />

future operations. We predicted that the market of non-X86 big servers has reached its<br />

maturity or even to drop with the economic factors. On the other hand, X86 servers<br />

that use dual- and quad- cores and virtual techniques will show a steady growth.<br />

General users, large calculating centers, government infrastructure and biddings will be<br />

the audiences for the 2009 market of X 86.<br />

D. Favorable and unfavorable factors affecting <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s competitive edges and their<br />

fallback plans<br />

To overcome the challenges presented by the global economic recession, <strong>MiTAC</strong><br />

will take advantage of the new Joint Development Manufacturing (JDM) approach,<br />

71


combining global R&D, engineering, manufacturing, designing, electronic<br />

manufacturing, sales distribution, and technical/after-sales services to achieve a higher<br />

customer satisfaction for a greater competitive advantage over rivals.<br />

(a) Competitive edges<br />

The core competitive strength in <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s wireless communications business and<br />

products lines in: Sales development, R&D capabilities, effective cost control, stable<br />

product quality and high-yield production process, fast mass production ramp-up,<br />

inventory management and component procurement, thorough logistic support<br />

capabilities, and market cooperation and sound financials.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong>’s core competitive strengths are as follows:<br />

1) The understanding of customer requirements and market directions: we work<br />

hand-in-hand with all software and hardware clients to explore consumer’s needs;<br />

in addition, <strong>MiTAC</strong> is trying to get joint ventures with several worldwide IT and<br />

communications companies. Once we partner with them, we believe that <strong>MiTAC</strong><br />

will be able to know the next step ahead of time.<br />

2) Collaborates with the best software and hardware vendors to ensure sufficient<br />

material supply for key hardware components.<br />

3) R&D innovation: Many of our products have won awards and become market<br />

leaders.<br />

4) Continues to improve product quality and production capacity: Our years of<br />

experience in embedded systems are our unique advantage.<br />

5) By taking advantages of existing channel markets and our group’s global logistics<br />

and service network, <strong>MiTAC</strong> can provide more comprehensive customer service.<br />

(b) Favorable factors for the prospects<br />

1) The integration of all supply chains for the Internet infrastructure<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> has developed an effective distribution approach to combining global<br />

e-commerce mechanisms and by developing products with high unit prices with a<br />

direct sales model, which greatly increased our efficiency, reduces costs and raises<br />

customer satisfaction.<br />

2) Global e-manufacturing model<br />

After several years of refining our logistic model, <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s e-manufacturing<br />

system has been completed. This system allows us to perform R&D and design in<br />

Taiwan and in the US, to produce in China and Taiwan for modules and<br />

semi-parts, and assemble in these BTO/CTO centers in the US, Australia, and the<br />

UK. The whole system was designed by considering the factors of technicality,<br />

cost for production, shipping and delivery, and tariffs. Taiwan is a major<br />

manufacturer of motherboards, workstations servers and storage devices; whereas<br />

less technical products with longer delivery times are made in Mainland China.<br />

All high-price major parts can be acquired everywhere in the world. <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s<br />

global organization has enabled us to become to an international e-manufacturer.<br />

3) The expansion of high value-added products<br />

In response to the connection of wireless network communications and<br />

computers, <strong>MiTAC</strong> will continue to form strategic alliances with leading vendors<br />

too. We have demonstrated our outstanding innovation in design, R&D,<br />

production, and manufacturing capability for GPS and Smart Phones by launching<br />

several GPS navigation products. <strong>MiTAC</strong> uses the concept of integration of<br />

computing and GPS on making wireless communication smart phones with voice<br />

and data processing capability of multimedia, games, personal data management,<br />

and even data transmission, and most importantly, of a low price.<br />

72


<strong>MiTAC</strong> is devoted to developing PND, GPS smart phones. There are more and<br />

more features added everyday so the products will be more dedicated and practical<br />

and can create many highly-added values. PND’s navigation combined with<br />

digital maps and well-designed navigation software will make the PND a<br />

must-have gadget in the future.<br />

4) The market keeps growing<br />

In addition to working at key markets, such as North America and Europe,<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> will emphasize on developing markets, including in Mainland China,<br />

Japan and Eastern Europe.<br />

5) E-supply chain<br />

For the needs of <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s global production and to separate local markets,<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> has not only modularized all designs for key components, but also<br />

integrated the upstream vendors into B2B in order to use the Just-In-Time system<br />

to lower our inventory and reduce our risk and to give our clients an<br />

always-on-time delivery service.<br />

(c) Unfavorable factors to the future<br />

1) Intense competition: Will all major vendors entering the handheld device market,<br />

Canalys has predicted that prices will become to drop. The average price in 2010<br />

for a PND device will be US$ 100. Additionally, the functions of PND and<br />

wireless communications products continue to integrate. GPS smart phones will<br />

become a necessity, which will cause an even more competitive market.<br />

Our fallback measures:<br />

Closely observe R&D innovation, strengthen our R&D results, shorten product<br />

development times, and keep developing new models; utilize differences in<br />

products and mass produce to maintain our profitability.<br />

Increase customers’ satisfaction from providing design, mass production and<br />

backup support services and try to ally with major brands in the world.<br />

Utilize our global sales and distribution logistic model and build a<br />

comprehensive material system, a value chain and the backup support.<br />

2) Key components remain under control of foreign vendors and software and<br />

hardware integration:<br />

Fallback plans:<br />

Maintain a good relationship with providers; in the meantime, train people who<br />

can operate platform and communication components.<br />

Find more suppliers for key components: Seek alternative suppliers to ensure<br />

ample sources and gain competitive prices. In addition, maintain good<br />

relationship with domestic vendors for more options.<br />

Use mass amounts to lower unit price: Our several products are top sellers, so<br />

we won orders from large OEM/ODM companies; therefore, the procurement<br />

cost has been greatly reduced.<br />

4. Expenses incurred for environmental protection issues<br />

Upon to the publication date of the report and in recent years, the company had not been<br />

punished or been fined by any losses caused by environmental pollution. Hereby describing our<br />

counter measures:<br />

We are a professional computer assembly manufacturer; in our production process, there are<br />

no controlled items of air, water and toxic pollutants involved. In addition, the company<br />

received an award of top 500 businesses -- the first Environmental Protection Assessment from<br />

the Environmental Protection Agency in 1992. It was certified by ISO 14001 in 1997, and since<br />

then, we have kept our commitment to preventing pollution. In 1999, we won a two-year honor<br />

when passing the Safety and Hygiene System Evaluation conducted by the Council of Labor<br />

Affairs. The company will continue to promote environmental protection, worker safety,<br />

zero-pollution and zero-injury as our permanent operation goals.<br />

(1) Background<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> <strong>International</strong> Corp. is a manufacturer of PC/server products, including<br />

workstation, server, storage device, and mobile communications. We follow the<br />

environmental plea of the European Union, including WEEE (Directive on the Waste<br />

Electronics and Electrical Equipment) and we focus on design for environment and apply all<br />

concepts of recycling, disassembly, and reusing imports design, i.e. applying ACPI operating<br />

system for power-saving/low-power CPU / module design/ supporting IPMI software and<br />

optimal resources management. As for ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Sustenance<br />

Directive), we aim at controlling hazardous substances, i.e. Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr6+, PBBs, and<br />

PBDEs, and we started to use green products to introduce design, development review,<br />

supplier management and material acceptance. We also constructed an internal Green<br />

Product website and its SOP to initiate the periodical organizational strategy review in<br />

compliance with the European Union directives. Moreover, we constructed an occupational<br />

health and safety system to minimize work hazards and to protect employees’ health and<br />

safety, and to save some relevant costs. As a result, the improvement of working conditions<br />

has indeed improved employees’ work ethic and their productivity.<br />

77


(2) <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s environmental health and safety strategy<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> <strong>International</strong> based on the concept of environmental protection to develop our<br />

policy:<br />

1. Policies regarding environment, safety and hygiene:<br />

Obey regulations: we obey the environmental, health and safety laws and commit<br />

ourselves to perform superior to the regulations.<br />

Guard resources on earth: We increase energy efficiency and advocate energy saving.<br />

Develop green production process: Develop and supply environmentally-friendly<br />

products in order to prevent pollution, to produce cleanly and to care for environment<br />

from products.<br />

A safe and healthy environment: to protect employees’ safety and health, to prevent<br />

work hazards and diseases from happening, in addition, we encourage employees to<br />

participate in the improvement plan and our ultimate goal is to create a safe and<br />

healthy work environment.<br />

Continue to improve the performance of environment, safety and hygiene: audit and<br />

assess investments in resources in order to implement the management system and<br />

then continuous improvement.<br />

2. Non-toxic substance policy:<br />

1 Earth: We respect the only Earth, so we:<br />

Concern ourselves with the climate change, join the act of lowering green house gas<br />

and decrease the emission to the Earth.<br />

2 Principles: obey environmental laws and satisfy clients’ needs<br />

Always be on top of laws: Ensure to follow all environmental regulations, i.e.<br />

EU’s RoHS, WEEE and REACH to meet the demands for green products.<br />

Follow the green principles: to build a green products platform and to manage a<br />

green supply chain in order to satisfy clients’ needs.<br />

3 Promises: Ensure management system’s effect, devote to environmental information<br />

communication and to fulfill our social responsibilities.<br />

Employ IECQ QC 080000 management system to activate the monitoring of HSF<br />

procedure.<br />

Build communication mechanisms, and release all critical environmental protection<br />

information to the public.<br />

Promote corporate growth and nature care and perform the global citizens’<br />

responsibility.<br />

4 realizations: Provide green products that are low-pollution, energy-saving, minimal<br />

packaging, recyclable and brining the least burden to the Earth.<br />

Use environmentally-friendly materials, such as EU’s RoHS and non-adding<br />

Brominated Flame Retardants shells.<br />

Follow <strong>International</strong> alliances’ requirements, i.e. Energy Star for energy<br />

consumption to our products.<br />

Lightweight packing, optimal sizing and least materials.<br />

Reach at least 75% of product reuse, recycling and recovery.<br />

We believe that all successful businesses will have to face the challenge of “ongoing<br />

growth”. <strong>MiTAC</strong> has supported the ITDP for the MOEA (R.O.C) (Ministry of Economic<br />

Affairs, ROC) since 2003. There were four review stages. We developed the lead-free and<br />

halogen-free system assembly procedures and technologies. And the development was<br />

successfully completed in 2005. The internal quality system operation was divided into:<br />

78


(a) Quality control system:<br />

Succeeded a 3-year renewal of ISO 9001:2000 version, which was the foundation of the<br />

development of the TL9000 management system; also, we obtained the certification of<br />

communications products in the end of 2005.<br />

(b) Environmental control system:<br />

Completed ISO 14001:2000 version and OHSAS 18001:1999 auditing according to<br />

the schedule. The IECQ QC080000 activity has been initiated since August, <strong>2008</strong>. The<br />

purpose of this activity reviews all functions of each department/responsible<br />

departments/main operational procedures according to the IECQ directives. Therefore,<br />

after the preliminary audit started, we were authorized by the IECQ in the U.S. to<br />

delegate SGS for all examinations. We had a great outcome in the first stage in<br />

September and SGS had audited other three stages and announced that <strong>MiTAC</strong> is<br />

officially an organization that follows QC080000 (IECQ HSPM) on Dec. 7, 2006. We<br />

dedicate ourselves to environmental protection and hope to find a balance between<br />

business development and the ecosystem. Moreover, we realized that employees’<br />

safety and health is a very important part of our enterprises. We will take every possible<br />

measure to maintain a proper work environment. <strong>MiTAC</strong> commits ourselves to balance<br />

between environmental protection requirements and company growth in order to have a<br />

high standard ecosystem. We are to fulfill the social responsibility as a premium<br />

enterprise and global citizen.<br />

(3) Countermeasures to RoHS<br />

In response to the requirements of RoHS, <strong>MiTAC</strong> will educate our suppliers through<br />

executing “Plan G” of the MOEA, R.O.C. We will require class 1 suppliers to be audited on<br />

the premises to ensure that they follow the RoHS requirements. Some suppliers requested us<br />

to provide information of <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s Class 2 suppliers regarding the follow-up of the RoHS<br />

process. We believe that our management style of raw materials will reduce the risks of<br />

violating the RoHS regulations from changing design and materials from the upstream<br />

suppliers’ side.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> is taking advantage of the e- control of the supply chain to systemize the RoHS<br />

reporting procedures and to solve the problems of multiple products, multiple production<br />

sites, and multiple contact windows; moreover, the RoHS data exchange efficiency has<br />

benefited from the new procedure.<br />

Additionally, <strong>MiTAC</strong> has signed the XRF SEA1000A agreement with TechMaxAsia<br />

Electron Technical Co., Ltd. in 2007 and purchased ICP facility and a fully-equipped<br />

laboratory in order ensure all components from the suppliers are in compliance with RoHS.<br />

(4) Countermeasures of the impact on business from the EU environmental protection directives<br />

In early 2005, <strong>MiTAC</strong> had completed the industrial technology development plan of the<br />

MOEA, ROC – the lead-free and halogen-free systematic assembly procedure; therefore,<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> had become one of the early enterprises with the lead-free process techniques. Also,<br />

our systemizing management parts suppliers provide us with parts that are in compliance<br />

with the RoHS; thus, <strong>MiTAC</strong> has the ability to produce green products and export them to<br />

Europe when necessary. As a result, there is no negative impact from EU’s environmental<br />

directives at <strong>MiTAC</strong>.<br />

(5) <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s responses to environmental protection directives from the EU<br />

From our observation of the environmental law development in the EU, the green<br />

production has been changed from self claimer to a must; for instance, all countries in the<br />

EU will have to finish all required implementation of 2010. <strong>MiTAC</strong> has listed DfE (Design<br />

for Environment) and Eco-design to be our product design requirements last year. Currently,<br />

79


our SOP in environmental design obliges our R&D departments to meet the EuP’s energy<br />

consumption.<br />

(6) Countermeasures to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG)<br />

Due to the worsening issue of global warming, since Aug 2007, <strong>MiTAC</strong> has initiated the<br />

GHG checking operation in order to respond to the trend of CO2 emission and to reduce<br />

GHG in the future. The scope contains <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s production site in China. With the<br />

assistance of SGS, Taiwan, the company performs the courses of checking CO2 gas<br />

emission and training program for internal inspectors. According to ISO14064-1, we<br />

started the systematic setup and listed all items to check for CO2 emission; we also built<br />

interior documentation and examination procedures as a reference of measuring the effects<br />

afterwards. In the meantime, we actively reduce GHG, introduce energy saving plans, i.e.<br />

introducing regeneration energies—solar energy, recyclables, electricity saving—lighting<br />

and air conditioning management in summers, in order to reduce CO2 emission to our<br />

atmosphere.<br />

As per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, <strong>MiTAC</strong> performs CO2 emission investigation and<br />

data collection. The company checks the CO2 emission amount annually for the previous<br />

year.<br />

Here are the data of CO2 emission amount in 2007:<br />

Direct CO2 emission (scope 1): total annual CO2 emission amount is 5,703 tons, about<br />

10% of our total CO2 emission.<br />

Indirect CO2 emission (scope 2): total annual CO2 emission amount is 50,150 tons, about<br />

90% of the total CO2 emission, which was mainly from externally bought electricity &<br />

steam gas.<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> is concerned about the global climate change; we are dedicated to protecting<br />

the Earth’s resources and fulfilling our duty as an enterprise citizen. We will continuously<br />

push for the reduction of CO2 emission to reduce operation costs and work toward the<br />

directions of efficient energy, power saving and environment protection. We will work on<br />

the goal of creating a low-CO2 economic society.<br />

5. Labor/Management Relations<br />

The company is an information technology company, and our staff is suitably composed. Our<br />

philosophy is to create a humane management. The company actively created various<br />

communication channels for our employees and we respect our employees’ opinions. Hence, all<br />

employees are encouraged to actively participate in employer and employee relationship affairs..<br />

(1) Communication and incentives<br />

The company greatly values our employees’ opinions, hence we have staff designated in<br />

employees’ relationships. We also have a mailbox to hear our employees’ voices. We survey<br />

on peers’ satisfaction and on a-360-degree feedback on all supervisors every six months; at<br />

the end of each year, we perform a survey on employees’ satisfaction in the hope that<br />

employee needs are being met.<br />

The company has spared no effort to establish internal communication channels. At<br />

present, employees commonly use our e-mail system, which reduces paper and reports<br />

consumption and we believe that these increases the communication efficiency. At the same<br />

time, the company has set up an internal “speak-out mailbox” where employees can directly<br />

express their opinions. In addition, the company invested over NT$4 million to set up a<br />

videoconferencing system, also called Video Conference Room, VCR to link all offices in<br />

Hsinchu, Linkou, and Taipei so we can save the travel time. After we started to use VCR,<br />

employees in different offices can have video-conference meetings without commuting, so<br />

that the company’s internal communications have become more efficient.<br />

Another achievement is the setup of the electronic bulletin board to promote the<br />

80


company’s mission, to announce operational performance, and to publish outside<br />

information. In order to provide an incentive to inspire employees and to enhance morale,<br />

the company selects employees and honors senior employees who have worked for <strong>MiTAC</strong><br />

for five, ten, fifteen, and twenty years at the year-end party. At the year-end party, the<br />

Chairman and the General Managers will give them gold medals and cash prizes.<br />

Hwa-Ya Technology Park, Taoyuan, is one of our major offices. In order to better care for<br />

our employees, we provide a shuttle bus from Hwa-Ya to Taipei daily. We also encourage<br />

employees to car pool and we provide ample parking spaces. We want to give all employees<br />

a more convenient and more comfortable working environment.<br />

(2) Benefits and training<br />

1) Benefits<br />

Employees are very important assets to us. In addition to provide every employee with<br />

labor and health insurance lawfully, the company also insures employees group and<br />

overseas travel insurance policies, which include life and business trip insurance and are<br />

paid by the company.<br />

We also have a well-organized employee benefit committee whose members are elected<br />

by different departments. The committee not only holds regular meetings to discuss<br />

workers’ benefits and all kinds of activities, but also to organize different clubs for<br />

entertainment and recreational activities with free-of-charge facilities in the company,<br />

including the gym, the dance studio, the massage room and the indoor ping-pong court to<br />

help build camaraderie among employees.<br />

The company also has a library that is open to employees all day long. In the library,<br />

there is a CD-ROM bank. Besides, the library is a member of the “Interlibrary<br />

Cooperation Association (ILCA)” so that employees can easily access information<br />

pertinent to their work, not limited to this library but from other libraries too.<br />

The company budgets substantial funds every year according to our comprehensive<br />

training programs. The goals are to substantiate employees’ education and training, to<br />

stimulate employees’ potentials, to upgrade employees’ occupational competence, and to<br />

allow them to continuously learn and grow with the company. Since 2000, the company<br />

started the e-Learning system; right now, there are more than one thousand courses in the<br />

system, including various management, professional, and general courses. This e-learning<br />

program allows employees to learn whenever and wherever. And the results have shown<br />

after all these years.<br />

2) Details for employee education and training<br />

A. Education and training efforts in <strong>2008</strong><br />

The company spent a total of NT$8.9 million on employees’ training in <strong>2008</strong>. There<br />

were approximately 19,100 employees who joined the training (in-class training:<br />

approx. 12,200 people and online courses: approx. 6,900 trainees).<br />

B. Education system<br />

In order to accommodate our business philosophy, long-term talent cultivation plans,<br />

and the integration of all our company’s training resources, the company provides the<br />

following guidelines: a list of required and elective courses, regulations for instructors,<br />

encouragement for the development of teaching materials within the company,<br />

off-premises training regulation, material management regulation, and on-the-job<br />

training regulation.<br />

(3) Retirement system<br />

The company has established a comprehensive and legally sanctioned retirement system<br />

in accordance with the Basic Labor Laws of the Republic of China and Pension Ordinance.<br />

According to the laws, we prepared a trust fund accountable for employees’ pension and we<br />

also established a control committee that is comprised of representatives from labor and<br />

81


management. This committee monitors the operation of the funds and transfers pensions to<br />

this account on a monthly basis, at a rate determined by an actuarially neutral third party.<br />

The company also insures employees who are qualified for “Labor Pension Ordinance” and<br />

disburse a lawful amount to employee’s designated account monthly. So far, the system<br />

operates regularly.<br />

(4) Labor/management agreements<br />

The company has always had the belief of protecting and sharing gains with the<br />

employees, by that, we hope to maintain an excellent labor and management relationship.<br />

We expect ourselves to retain our humane management and multiple communication<br />

channels; therefore, we hope to further advance our relationship in the future.<br />

(5) Work environment and Worker Safety Measures<br />

In order to increase the safety of the work environment and workers and to protect<br />

workers from injuries, deaths, or protests, the company implemented practices that enable us<br />

to obtain OHSAS-18001 certification on November 6, 2003, and we actively promote these<br />

practices.<br />

(6) Employees’ code of conduct<br />

In order to ensure a consistent standard for employee behaviors, we listed 28 guidelines as<br />

the code of conduct. These guidelines are from four key categories, which are workers’<br />

principles, confidentiality and non-competing agreement, and the use of the Internet at the<br />

workplace, information security, and interaction with suppliers. These guidelines are posted<br />

on the e-bulletin for employees’ reference, also a friendly reminder. For the purpose of<br />

principles, the “Employee Reward and Penalty Guidelines” are also drafted as a basis of<br />

determining rewards and penalties.<br />

(7) Losses from labor disputes, projected loss amount and countermeasures in the most recent<br />

year and up to the publication date of this annual report; if unable to estimate, please<br />

explain:<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> did not have any losses from labor disputes happened during the last year and up<br />

to the publication date of this annual report. <strong>MiTAC</strong> maintains a harmonious relationship<br />

with employees; therefore, the possibility of potential losses from labor disputes is very low.<br />

Analysis of changes in financial ratio in 2007and <strong>2008</strong>(changes less than 20% are exempted):<br />

1. Due to the economic recession in <strong>2008</strong>, all consumer electronics sales are affected , thus the decreased profits<br />

affected Times interest earned ratio, fixed assets turnover (times), total asset turnover (times), and related ratio<br />

of profitability.<br />

2. Because the operating activity net cash flow was decreased in <strong>2008</strong>, the cash flow ratio and cash reinvestment<br />

ratio were decreased.<br />

3. The decrease of operating income caused the operating leverage and financial leverage declined.<br />

Note 1: To the end of quarter prior to the publication date of this annual report.<br />

Note 2: For convenience of marking comparisons, the operational capability for the first quarter of 2009 has been<br />

converted to a whole year figure.<br />

(4) EPS = (Profit after tax – Dividend from preferred stock) / Weighted average of outstanding<br />

shares<br />

5. Cash Flow<br />

(1) Cash flow ratio = Cash flow from operations / Current liabilities<br />

(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = Most recent five-year cash flow from operations /<br />

Most recent five-year (sum of capital expenditures, increases in inventory, cash dividends)<br />

(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (Cash flow from operating activities – Cash dividend) / (Gross<br />

fixed assets + Long-term investment + other assets + Working capital)<br />

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries<br />

(collectively referred herein as the Group) are prepared in accordance with the “Rules<br />

Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and accounting<br />

principles generally accepted in the Republic of China. The Group’s significant<br />

accounting policies are summarized below:<br />

1) Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements<br />

All majority-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities are included in the<br />

consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, <strong>2008</strong>, the Company prepares<br />

consolidated financial statements on a quarterly basis. Significant inter-company<br />

transactions and assets and liabilities arising from inter-company transactions are<br />

eliminated.<br />

2) Translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries<br />

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars<br />

using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated at<br />

historical rates except for beginning retained earnings, which are carried forward<br />

from prior year’s balance. Dividends are translated at the rates prevailing at the date<br />

of declaration. Profit and loss accounts are translated at weighted-average rates of<br />

the year. The resulting translation differences are included in “cumulative<br />

translation adjustments” under stockholders’ equity.<br />

3) Foreign currency transactions<br />

A. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries maintain their accounts in New<br />

Taiwan dollars and their functional currencies, respectively. Transactions<br />

denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan dollars and<br />

their functional currencies at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the<br />

transaction dates. Exchange gains or losses due to the difference between the<br />

exchange rate on the transaction date and the exchange rate on the date of actual<br />

receipt and payment are recognized in current year’s profit or loss.<br />

B. Receivables, other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign<br />

currencies are translated at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance<br />

sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.<br />

C. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized directly in equity, any<br />

exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized directly in equity.<br />

Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit<br />

or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in<br />

profit or loss. However, non-monetary items that are measured on a historical<br />

cost basis are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.<br />

4) Classification of current and non-current items<br />

A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets;<br />

otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:<br />

a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized or<br />

consumed, or are intended to be sold within the normal operating cycle;<br />

b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;<br />

97


c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance<br />

sheet date;<br />

d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and<br />

those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve<br />

months after the balance sheet date.<br />

B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current<br />

liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:<br />

a) Liabilities arising from operating activities that are expected to be paid off<br />

within the normal operating cycle;<br />

b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;<br />

c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet<br />

date;<br />

d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally<br />

to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.<br />

5) Cash equivalents<br />

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and other short-term<br />

highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to known amount of cash<br />

and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value resulting from<br />

fluctuations in interest rates.<br />

6) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss<br />

A. Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are<br />

recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting and are recognized<br />

initially at fair value.<br />

B. These financial instruments are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair<br />

value, and the gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. The fair value of<br />

listed stocks, OTC stocks and closed-end mutual funds is based on latest<br />

quoted fair prices of the accounting period. The fair value of open-end and<br />

balanced mutual funds is based on the net asset value at the balance sheet date.<br />

C. When a derivative is an ineffective hedging instrument, it is initially<br />

recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and is<br />

subsequently remeasured at its fair value. If a derivative is a non-option<br />

derivative, the fair value initially recognized is zero.<br />

7) Available-for-sale financial assets<br />

A. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade<br />

date accounting and are initially stated at fair value plus transaction costs that<br />

are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.<br />

B. The financial assets are remeasured and stated at fair value, and the gain or<br />

loss is recognized in equity, until the financial asset is derecognized, at<br />

which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity shall<br />

be recognized in profit or loss. The fair values of listed stocks, OTC stocks<br />

98


and closed-end mutual funds are based on latest quoted fair prices of the<br />

accounting period. The fair values of open-end and balanced mutual funds<br />

are based on the net asset value at the balance sheet date.<br />

C. If there is any objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired, the<br />

cumulative loss that had been recognized directly in equity shall be transferred<br />

from equity to profit or loss. When the fair value of an equity instrument<br />

subsequently increases, impairment losses recognized previously in profit or<br />

loss shall not be reversed. When the fair value of a debt instrument<br />

subsequently increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event<br />

occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the<br />

impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss recognized in profit<br />

or loss.<br />

8) Financial assets carried at cost<br />

A. Investment in unquoted equity instruments is recognized or derecognized using<br />

trade date accounting and is stated initially at its fair value plus transaction<br />

costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.<br />

B. If there is any objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired, the<br />

impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. Such impairment loss shall not<br />

be reversed when the fair value of the asset subsequently increases.<br />

9) Derivative financial instruments for hedging<br />

When the transactions qualify for all the conditions of applying hedge accounting,<br />

the resulting profit or loss is recognized by offsetting the changes in the fair values<br />

of hedging instrument and hedged items. When the transactions qualify as cash flow<br />

hedges, the effective portion of any gain or loss on remeasurement of the derivative<br />

financial instrument to fair value is recognized directly in equity.<br />

10) Accounts receivable<br />

Accounts receivable are claims resulting from sale of goods or services. The fair<br />

value of accounts receivable is calculated based on the imputed interest rate.<br />

Accounts receivable which is collectible within one year, and where the difference<br />

between the fair value and the value at maturity is insignificant is measured at<br />

carrying value.<br />

11) Allowance for doubtful accounts<br />

notes and other receivables.<br />

12) Inventories<br />

A. Inventories of the Company are stated at standard cost, which is adjusted to<br />

actual cost at year-end.<br />

B. Inventories of the Company and its subsidiaries are valued at the lower of cost<br />

or market value at balance sheet date. The market value is based on the<br />

replacement cost for raw materials and supplies and net realizable value for<br />

work in process, finished goods and merchandise. Allowance for slow moving<br />

99


items and decline in the market value is provided when necessary.<br />

13) Long-term equity investments accounted for under equity method<br />

A. Long-term equity investments in which the Group holds more than 20% of the<br />

investee company’s voting shares or has the ability to exercise significant<br />

influence on the investee’s operational decisions are accounted for under the<br />

equity method. All majority-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities are<br />

accounted for under the equity method and are included in the consolidated<br />

financial statements on a quarterly basis.<br />

B. For investments accounted for under the equity method, the Company<br />

recognizes investment gains or losses by quarter. The unrealized profits and<br />

losses from intercompany transactions between the Company and investee<br />

company during the current year shall be eliminated.<br />

C. Exchange differences arising from translation of the financial statements of<br />

overseas investee companies accounted for under the equity method are<br />

recorded as “cumulative translation adjustments” under stockholder’s equity.<br />

14) Property, plant and equipment<br />

A. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Interest incurred on loans<br />

used to finance the construction of property and plant is capitalized and<br />

depreciated accordingly.<br />

B. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated<br />

useful lives. Residual values of fixed assets still in use at the end of the<br />

original service lives are depreciated based on the newly estimated remaining<br />

service lives of the assets. The useful lives of the fixed assets are 3 – 10 years,<br />

except for buildings, which are 3 - 55 years.<br />

C. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Significant renewals and<br />

improvements are capitalized and depreciated accordingly.<br />

D. Idle assets are valued at the lower of book value or net realizable value (based<br />

on the appraised value by a real estate appraisal company) and classified as<br />

other assets. Rental assets are valued at cost and classified as other assets;<br />

current depreciation is recorded as non-operating expense.<br />

15) Intangible assets<br />

Land use rights are amortized on a straight-line method over 48~50 years.<br />

100


17) Impairment of non-financial assets<br />

The Group recognizes impairment loss when there is indication that the recoverable<br />

amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the<br />

higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The fair value less costs to<br />

sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction<br />

after deducting any direct incremental disposal costs. The value in use is the present<br />

value of estimated future cash flows to be derived from continuing use of the asset<br />

and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. When the impairment no longer<br />

exists, the impairment loss recognized in prior years shall be recovered.<br />

The recoverable amount of goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives<br />

and intangible assets which have not yet been available for use shall be evaluated<br />

periodically. Impairment loss will be recognized whenever there is indication that<br />

the recoverable amount of these assets is less than their respective carrying amount.<br />

Impairment loss of goodwill recognized in prior years is not recoverable in the<br />

following years.<br />

18) Convertible bonds<br />

For convertible bonds issued prior to and including December 31, 2005, in<br />

accordance with the EITF 95-78 issued by the Accounting Research and<br />

Development Foundation of the R.O.C., the Company elected not to bifurcate the<br />

embedded derivatives and accounted for those convertible bonds as follows:<br />

A. When bonds are converted, the par value of the bonds is credited to common<br />

stock and any excess is credited to capital reserve. No gain or loss is recognized<br />

on bond conversion.<br />

B. Expenditures incurred on issuance of convertible bonds are classified as deferred<br />

assets and amortized over the life of the bonds. In cases where the bonds are<br />

converted or redeemed before the maturity date, the issuance expenditures are<br />

expensed in proportion to the amount of bonds converted or redeemed.<br />

19) Pension plan<br />

Under the defined benefit pension plan, net periodic pension costs are recognized in<br />

accordance with the actuarial calculations. Net periodic pension costs include<br />

service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and amortization of<br />

unrecognized net transition obligation and gains or losses on plan assets.<br />

Unrecognized net transition obligation is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15<br />

years. Under the defined contribution pension plan, net periodic pension costs are<br />

recognized as incurred.<br />

EITF92-072 “Accounting for Employee Stock Options” as prescribed by the<br />

Accounting Research and Development Foundation, R.O.C., dated March 17,<br />

2003. Under the share-based employee compensation plan, compensation cost<br />

is recognized using the intrinsic value method and pro forma disclosures of net<br />

income and earnings per share are prepared in accordance with the R.O.C. SFAS<br />

No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment”.<br />

B. For the grant date of the share-based payment agreements set on or after January<br />

1, <strong>2008</strong>, the Company shall measure the services received during the vesting<br />

period by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted and<br />

account for those amounts as payroll expenses during that period.<br />

23) Employees’ bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration<br />

Effective January 1, <strong>2008</strong>, pursuant to EITF96-052 of the Accounting Research and<br />

Development Foundation, R.O.C., dated March 16, 2007, “Accounting for<br />

Employees’ Bonuses and Directors’ and Supervisors’ Remuneration”, the costs of<br />

employees’ bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are accounted for<br />

as expenses and liabilities, provided that such a recognition is required under legal<br />

or constructive obligation and those amounts can be estimated reasonably. However,<br />

if the accrued amounts for employees’ bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’<br />

remuneration are significantly different from the actual distributed amounts<br />

resolved by the stockholders at their annual stockholders’ meeting subsequently, the<br />

differences shall be recognized as gain or loss in the following year. In addition, in<br />

accordance with EITF97-127 of the Accounting Research and Development<br />

Foundation, R.O.C., dated March 31, <strong>2008</strong>, “Criteria for Listed Companies in<br />

Calculating the Number of Shares of Employees’ Stock Bonus”, the Company<br />

calculates the number of shares of employees’ stock bonus based on the closing<br />

price of the Company's common stock at the previous day of the stockholders’<br />

meeting held in the year following the financial reporting year, and after taking into<br />

account the effects of ex-rights and ex-dividends.<br />

24) Revenues and expenses<br />

Revenues are recognized when the earning process is substantially completed and<br />

they are realized or realizable. Allowance for sales rebate and return are estimated<br />

based on historical experience as revenues recognized. Costs and expenses are<br />

recognized as incurred.<br />

102


25) Treasury stock<br />

A. Treasury stock is stated at cost using the weighted-average method and is<br />

reported as a deduction under stockholder’s equity.<br />

B. Upon subsequent disposal of the treasury stock, the excess of the proceeds from<br />

disposal over the book value is credited to capital reserve. However, if the book<br />

value of the treasury stock exceeds the proceeds from disposal, the excess is<br />

first charged against capital reserve and the remainder, if any, is charged against<br />

retained earnings.<br />

C. The book value of treasury stock is determined by the weighted-average<br />

method.<br />

D. When treasury stock is retired, the treasury stock account is credited and all<br />

capital account balance related to the treasury shares, including capital reserve<br />

from paid-in capital in excess of par are debited on a proportionate basis. When<br />

the book value of treasury stock is higher than capital account balance,<br />

including additional paid-in capital in excess of par, the difference is debited to<br />

offset against this capital reserve from treasury stock. However, when the<br />

balance of this capital reserve account is insufficient to offset the difference,<br />

then the remaining amount should be charged against retained earnings. When<br />

the book value of treasury stock is less than the capital account balance,<br />

including additional paid-in capital in excess of par, the difference is credited to<br />

capital reserve from treasury stock.<br />

26) Use of estimates<br />

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted<br />

accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that<br />

affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets<br />

and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues<br />

and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those<br />

assumptions and estimates.<br />

27) Business combination<br />

The Company adopted the R.O.C. SFAS No. 25, “Accounting for Business<br />

Combination - Purchase Method” to account for any business combination<br />

B. Goodwill impairment test was conducted in accordance with the R.O.C. SFAS<br />

No. 35 “Impairment of Assets”. On December 31, <strong>2008</strong>, the Company evaluated<br />

the recoverable amount of assets used for operations and goodwill based on their<br />

value in use. The value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows<br />

to be derived from continuing use of the asset and goodwill and from their<br />

disposal at the end of their useful life, which is based on the five-year financial<br />

forecast with the discount rate of 6.96% and 6.84%, respectively. The following<br />

sets forth the methods and assumptions used to estimate the recoverable amount<br />

of assets and goodwill:<br />

a) Estimated operating revenue: it is calculated based on industrial and market<br />

information and the Company’s future operations and sales planning.<br />

b) Estimated operating cost: it is calculated based on the estimated gross profit<br />

margin, which is derived from prior years’ operating costs and the Company’s<br />

future operations and sales planning.<br />

c) Estimated operating expense: it is calculated based on prior years’ operating<br />

expenses and the Company’s future operations and sales planning.<br />

C. The recoverable amount calculated based on the foregoing assumptions is higher<br />

than the sum of carrying value of identifiable assets and goodwill on December<br />

31, <strong>2008</strong>. Therefore, no impairment loss was recognized.<br />

E. As of December 31, <strong>2008</strong>, the Company's income tax returns through 2006 have<br />

been assessed and approved by the Tax Authority. The Company has applied for<br />

tax litigation for years 2000, 2001 and 2003, because taxable income were<br />

adjusted and part of the research and development for tax credits were assessed<br />

as not qualified for tax credits, which resulted in no income tax refundable for<br />

year 2000 and an additional tax payable for year 2001. The Company has paid<br />

half of the additional tax payable for year 2001. The administrative lawsuits<br />

regarding income tax returns of years 2000, 2001 and 2003 have been dismissed<br />

by the Taiwan High Court, so the Company has filed a tax appeal with the<br />

Supreme Court of R.O.C. In addition, the Company has applied for tax<br />

re-investigation for years 2004, 2005 and 2006, because all the research and<br />

development and part of employees’ training for tax credits were assessed as not<br />

qualified for tax credits and other income was added, which resulted in additional<br />

tax payable for years 2005 and 2006. However, since there were unused tax<br />

credits before 2004, the Company was not assessed at additional tax for year<br />

2004. The tax re-investigation for 2004 income tax return has been dismissed<br />

by the Tax Authority, so the Company has filed a tax appeal for that year. The<br />

Company has assessed the income tax effect for all the cases above and accrued<br />

the corresponding tax liability in the financial statements.


F. Under the PRC tax regulations, the corporate income tax for Mainland China<br />

subsidiary shall be levied at the rate of 25 %. However, as <strong>MiTAC</strong> Computer<br />

(Kunshan) Co. Ltd. is a foreign-invested manufacturing enterprise established in<br />

the PRC, according to the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC, it is exempt<br />

from corporate income tax for the first and second profit-making years and are<br />

subject to a 50% reduction of corporate income tax from the third through fifth<br />

profit-making years. Pursuant to Article 57 of the Corporate Income Tax Law<br />

of the PRC (“new tax law”) passed at the National People’s Congress held on<br />

March 16, 2007, those enterprises which were established before the effective<br />

date of new tax law and have enjoyed tax relief shall be assessed at the tax rate<br />

regulated by new tax law after five-year enforcement of the law, and those<br />

enterprises which enjoy tax relief for a specific period can continue enjoying tax<br />

relief until due date, while for those enterprises which have not reported any<br />

profit and not enjoyed tax relief, the tax grace period starts from January 1, <strong>2008</strong>.<br />

Accordingly, the regulatory corporate income tax rate was 18% for <strong>2008</strong>.<br />

However, <strong>MiTAC</strong> Computer (Kunshan) Co. Ltd. was assessed at the tax rate of<br />

9% for that year because of the 50% tax reduction.<br />

of common shares outstanding during the reporting year, which taking into account<br />

the dilutive effects of stock bonus on potential common shares; whereas, basic EPS<br />

outstanding during the reporting year that include the shares of employees’ stock<br />

bonus for the appropriation of prior year earnings, which have already been resolved<br />

at the stockholders’ meeting held in the reporting year. Since capitalization of<br />

employees’ bonus no longer belongs to distribution of stock dividends (or retained<br />

earnings and capital reserve capitalized), the calculation of basic EPS and diluted<br />

The methods and assumptions used to measure the fair value of financial instruments are as<br />

follows:<br />

A. For short-term instruments, the fair values were determined based on their carrying<br />

values because of the short maturities of the instruments. This method was applied to<br />

Cash and cash equivalents, Notes receivable, Accounts receivable. Other receivables,<br />

Other financial assets, Refundable deposits, Short-term loans, Commercial paper payable,<br />

Notes payable, Accounts payable, Income tax payable, Accrued expenses, Other


payables, Provision for product warranty, Other current liabilities and Deposit in.<br />

B. Available-for-sale financial instruments are based on the market value of securities.<br />

C. Fair value of bonds payable is estimated using the market value. The book value of<br />

long-term loans is used as fair value as the loans bear floating interest rates.<br />

D. Derivative financial instruments: The estimated fair values are the expected cash flow<br />

(using rates quoted by financial institutions) if the contracts are terminated at the balance<br />

sheet date, including unrealized gains or losses. The quotes from financial institutions are<br />

available for most of the Company’s derivate financial instruments.<br />

2) As of December 31, <strong>2008</strong> and 2007, the financial assets and the financial liabilities with<br />

fair value risk due to the change of interest amounted to $1,458,992 and $2,816,122;<br />

$1,240,500 and $4,544,000, respectively, and the financial assets and the financial<br />

liabilities with cash flow risk due to the change of interest amounted to $5,015,906 and<br />

$11,126,454; $2,653,444 and $4,854,813, respectively.<br />

3) For the years ended December 31, <strong>2008</strong> and 2007, total interest income and total<br />

interest expense for financial assets and financial liabilities that are not at fair value<br />

through profit or loss amounted to $248,416 and $255,152; $141,168 and $318,803,<br />

respectively.<br />

4) Financial risk management<br />

In order to identify, evaluate and manage market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash<br />

flow risk, the Group has established a risk management program and carries out<br />

procedures to monitor the fluctuations in exchange rate and interest rate, as well as<br />

implement credit controls over its transaction counterparties.<br />

By considering factors such as changes in industrial environment, competitive position,<br />

and market risks, the Group adjusts related positions of financial assets and liabilities in<br />

order to optimize its risk exposure, maintain liquidity and centrally manage all market<br />

risks. The Group mainly use derivative financial instruments to hedge the operating risk.<br />

In order to manage its risk exposure, the Group established a risk management program<br />

as follows:<br />

A. Interest rate risk<br />

The Group undertakes derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, to<br />

hedge cash flow risk and fair value risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates.<br />

B. Foreign exchange risk<br />

To hedge cash flow fair value risk arising from fluctuations in exchange rates, the<br />

Group undertakes derivative financial instruments such as forward exchange<br />

contracts to hedge recognized assets and liabilities denominated in foreign<br />

currencies and highly probable forecast transactions.<br />

5) Information of financial risk<br />

A. Market risk<br />

(a) Equity financial instruments: The investment in these financial instruments is<br />

influenced by market price. The Group evaluates the investment performance<br />

periodically. Thus, the price risk is low.<br />

(b) The Group issues secured and unsecured bonds payable. Although the fair value<br />

of bonds payable would be changed due to changes in market interest rate and<br />

market price, the Group evaluates the market risk periodically. Thus, the Group<br />

130


expects to have no significant market risk.<br />

(c) Short-term financial instruments: Maturities of these financial instruments are<br />

within one year. Therefore, the Group expects to have no significant market risk.<br />

(d) Derivative financial instruments: The forward contract was entered into for<br />

hedging the fluctuation of exchange rate. Gains or losses on this contract is likely<br />

to be offset from the hedged items. Therefore, the market risk is low.<br />

B. Credit risk<br />

(a) Equity financial instruments: The Group trades with reputable counter-parties.<br />

Thus, there is no significant credit risk.<br />

(b) There are no credit risk in the Group’s bonds payable.<br />

(c) Short-term financial instruments: The Group has established control procedures<br />

over the credit management on counter-parties, and the counter-parties are<br />

reputable companies and financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Group<br />

believes its exposure to potential default risk is low.<br />

(d) Derivative financial instruments: The Group believes its exposure to potential<br />

default risk is low due to the counter-parties being reputable institutions, and the<br />

Group diversifies the credit risks by entering into transactions with multiple<br />

counter-parties.<br />

C. Liquidity risk<br />

(a) Equity financial instruments:<br />

The Group invests in available-for-sale financial assets, which are traded in<br />

active markets and can be readily converted into certain amount of cash<br />

approximate to their fair vaules. The liquidity risk exposure is low.<br />

The Group is exposed to a higher liquidity risk since its investments in financial<br />

assets carried at cost have no active market. However, the Group has no intention<br />

to hold these financial assets for trading and does not expect to sell those<br />

financial assets frequently. Therefore, the exposure to liquidity risk would be<br />

effectively reduced.<br />

(b) Bonds payable:<br />

The Group manages its financing and investing activities based on its operating<br />

capital requirements and capital expenditure budgets, thus, the liquidity risk is<br />

expected to be low.<br />

(c) Short-term financial instruments: Maturities of these financial instruments are<br />

within one year. And the Group has set operating plans to deal with future cash<br />

needs. Thus, liquidity risk is believe to be minimal.<br />

(d) Derivative financial instruments: The forward for trading was entered for hedging<br />

the foreign exchange risk. It results cash in and cash out, respectively, at maturity.<br />

Because the Group will receive and pay the cash on settlement dates and the<br />

future working capital is sufficient, therefore, the liquidity risk and cash flow risk<br />

is low.<br />

131


D. Cash flow risk<br />

(a) The Group issues parts of secured bonds payable with fixed interest rate and parts<br />

of secured bonds payable with floating interest rate. The Group undertakes<br />

interest rate swaps to hedge cash flow risk arising from fluctuations in interest<br />

rates.<br />

The Group issues unsecured bonds payable with zero interest and there is no cash<br />

flow risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates.<br />

(b) Derivative financial instruments: These financial instruments are non-interest<br />

bearing financial instruments. Thus, there is no cash flow risk.<br />

(c) Short-term financial instruments: Maturities of these financial instruments are<br />

within one year, there is no material cash flow risk.<br />

6) The Group’s interest rate risk arises from floating rate bonds payables. Bonds payables<br />

issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk, therefore the<br />

Group undertakes interest rate swaps to hedge cash flow risk.<br />

(1) Analysis of changes in assets, liabilities, and shareholders’ equity in the most recent two<br />

years (changes over 20% and NT$10 million):<br />

1) Current assets: Primarily due to the economic recession, there was a decrease of<br />

shipments, then profits. Also, Repaying loans to the bank and redeeming corporate<br />

debenture bonds caused less cash, cash equivalents and receivables.<br />

2) Current liabilities: Primarily due to the economic recession, there was a decrease of<br />

shipments and related cost and fees, and then a decrease of accrued payables.<br />

Additionally, the paid-back of the bank loans and the due date of the corporate<br />

debenture bonds caused less short-term loans and long-term debts within a year.<br />

3) Long-term debt: Primarily due to the re-categorized corporate debenture bonds which<br />

would mature within a year were current portion of long–term debts.<br />

4) Total liabilities: Statement 2 and 3 above were caused due to a decrease in liabilities.<br />

(2) The aforementioned changes did not have a significant impact on the company’s<br />

operation.<br />

1) Analysis of changes in percentage increases/decreases (changes less than 20% are<br />

exempted):<br />

a. Gross operating revenue: Due to the economic recession and price competition in <strong>2008</strong>,<br />

all consumer electronics were affected, hence the total of operating revenue was less<br />

than in 2007.<br />

b. Sales return and allowance: Primarily due to the recession and the clearance sale<br />

because of the stock clearance, the amount of the sales returns and allowances<br />

increased.<br />

c. Operating costs: Mainly because the decline of the operating revenue, the costs<br />

declined as well.<br />

d. Gross profit and operating income: Also affected by the factors above.<br />

e. Non-operating income and gains: Mainly because the investment incomes decrease<br />

from the equity assessment caused the decrease of non-operating income and gains in<br />

<strong>2008</strong>.<br />

f. Income before income tax and net income from continuing operations: Also affected by<br />

the factors above.<br />

2) Reasons for changing the company’s major businesses: The company did not change its<br />

major businesses.<br />

3) The forecasts for sales volumes and their evidence and the possible impacts and their<br />

countermeasures:<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> predicts that due to our current management plan and our assessment of the<br />

future environment, we continue to be among the top three in the world in the wireless<br />

communication market; we will also actively explore GPS communicative networking<br />

handheld devices, GPS smart phones, and their added-value services of the complete<br />

online navigation system, in order to design the smoothest operation interfaces and<br />

functions mainly for consumers. Meanwhile, we intend to maintain the biggest market<br />

share from targeting different regional market for three different brands: Mio, Navman<br />

and Magellan. We predicted that PND’s shipment will increase in 2009. As for terminal


computers, we will focus on thin computers and customized products, as well as a series<br />

of X86 workstation products and mobile online niche markets to maintain the standard<br />

quantity of shipments and to target different groups of users. About enterprise product<br />

development, we will not only work on the server industry to keep our edge, but also<br />

develop new clients and new products in storage devices; additionally, we will reinforce<br />

Tyan’s market share and channel coverage rate. Lastly, for high-end servers, we will aim<br />

at high-speed computing clusters and their applications and we will research and develop<br />

more high-density and energy efficient Rack-mounted Server Quasi-system.<br />

2) <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s substantial measures to respond to the variation of the interest, exchange<br />

rate and inflation are:<br />

A. All accounts receivable and payable are received and paid in USD so minimize<br />

the effects on overall profits from variable currency exchange.<br />

B. At present, the trading of derivative products is to avoid risks of the actual<br />

foreign currency assets and the liabilities; also, to periodically evaluate gains and<br />

losses per the “Procedure for Derivative Trading”.<br />

C. We collect currency exchange rates, announced interest rate and market<br />

information everyday and report to the top management immediately when an<br />

emergency occurs so we can respond accordingly.<br />

D. We evaluate announced interest rates and work closely with banks in order to<br />

obtain preferred interest on loans, so that we can minimize the impact of rate<br />

fluctuations on the company.<br />

E. Due to the advance of crude oil and raw materials, fighting against inflation has<br />

become a crucial issue. Our countermeasures are to seek different suppliers,<br />

alternative materials and implement conservative purchasing. Also, we sign<br />

contracts with suppliers to lock the intended material prices and strictly follow<br />

the latest production plans. All these measures are to control the inventory and<br />

cost of production materials and to decrease the possible impact from pricing<br />

variations.<br />

(5) The impact of major changes in domestic or foreign government policies and laws in<br />

recent years on the company’s financial condition and business, and our countermeasures:<br />

None.<br />

(6) Technology changes and industry changes in the most recent year and the impact on the<br />

company’s finances and sales, and our countermeasures<br />

1. Client system business products:<br />

Due to the intense competition and the rapid price decline in computer hardware, our<br />

countermeasures are to develop lower-cost products and to speed up the development<br />

for new products, and to increase the differentiation in products and shorten the time<br />

needed for mass production.<br />

Also, to deal with the economic recession, we will continue to lower production costs<br />

and differentiate our products, increase added-values for understanding users’ needs<br />

and shorten the time needed for mass production.<br />

2. Enterprise products:<br />

Due to the recession, enterprises generally invest less in technologies. As a result,<br />

each single product contributes less to our revenue. In addition, vendors are cutting<br />

prices in order to obtain more orders, thus putting pressure on profit margins. Therefore,<br />

we need to use more R&D workers to devote to new product projects in order to<br />

achieve the same level of revenues and profits as in the past. The invention of<br />

high-density server products should increase average per-unit prices and production<br />

value.<br />

3. Wireless communications products:<br />

Wireless communication product development is leaning toward lower power<br />

consumption, high-integration in functionality, and a faster speed for data transmission.<br />

Product development is for lightweight, thin, compact, fashionable design,<br />

highly-integrated quality, and easy-to-use interface; also, we combine advanced<br />

technology to design toward a complete wireless link, hand-free, and voice<br />

identification. <strong>MiTAC</strong> plans to integrate wireless broadband technology into the future<br />

hands-free device and studies on built-in and dual-communications for the linking<br />

digital service with a great potential. Furthermore, the mass production of the satellite<br />

navigation phones and the smart phones with a built-in camera will contribute greatly<br />

for our business and profits.<br />

4. Enterprise and channel server/ workstation products:<br />

Since the hardware techniques of the server industry have had many breakthroughs,<br />

duad-core CPUs have gradually replaced dual-core processors; as for processors, the<br />

manufacturing process has improved from 65 nanometers to 45 nanometers and<br />

working toward 32 nanometers. Furthermore, memories have gradually developed from<br />

1 GB to 4GB. With all the fast software development and popular virtual concept, the<br />

server industry has been blooming and of course, very competitive. Therefore, how to<br />

have a stable cooperation with up and down streams has become the key to success for<br />

server channel manufacturers.<br />

Based on this concept, <strong>MiTAC</strong> not only work closely with software companies like<br />

Intel and AMD, but also cooperate with famous companies for virtualization techniques.<br />

We ensure our market share by certifying products, integrating total solutions for<br />

high-function and low-cost to keep our competitive edge.<br />

(7) The impact of the company’s image change, of our crisis management capabilities, and<br />

countermeasures in the most recent year: None.<br />

(8) Expected values, possible risks and countermeasures for recent merger: None.<br />

162


(9) Expected values, possible risks and countermeasures for recent factory expansion: None.<br />

(10) Risks faced in centralized stocking and selling and their countermeasures:<br />

About stocking:<br />

The subsidiaries in China are our OEM factories, so we have to buy finished goods<br />

back and pay for processing charges. But <strong>MiTAC</strong> owns 100% of the subsidiaries so there<br />

is no risk for stock control. Also, our procurement policy for main materials is to have at<br />

least two suppliers and spread out the sources for material supply; furthermore, <strong>MiTAC</strong><br />

has maintained a long-term relationship with all suppliers to ensure a stable source of<br />

material supply.<br />

About sales:<br />

The company does not get most of its revenue from any single client, so there is no<br />

obvious risk in this area. The sales ratio to each client has been kept under 30% in the<br />

last two years. Based on our strong R&D and production capabilities, on one hand,<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> has maintained a long-term relationship with the existing customers; on the<br />

other hand, we have striven to develop new customers in order to expand the source of<br />

business. Therefore, <strong>MiTAC</strong> expects no risk from a centralized practice.<br />

(11) Impact and risks associated with large transfers or conversions of equity by directors,<br />

supervisors or major shareholders holding stake over 10%:<br />

<strong>MiTAC</strong> is aware of the major shareholders and the final controller of the major<br />

shareholders, so the holdings of the Directors, Supervisors, and the top ten shareholders<br />

are reported according to the Stock Exchange Law.<br />

(12) Impact and risks associated with changes of the company’s ownership: None.<br />

(13) Litigation and non-litigious disputes:<br />

1. <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s directors, supervisors, general managers, actual person in charge or major<br />

shareholders holding stakes over 10%:<br />

In the most recent year and to the publication date of this annual report, there was<br />

no involvement of any litigation or non-litigious disputes that might have a significant<br />

impact on shareholders’ rights or stock prices, as defined in Article 20, item 6, Part 12<br />

in “Criteria Governing Information to be Published in <strong>Annual</strong> reports of Public<br />

Companies.”<br />

2. <strong>MiTAC</strong>’s subsidiaries:<br />

Mio <strong>International</strong> Limited, the Company’s subsidiary, entered into a software<br />

technology transfer agreement with Nav N Go Kft. Because the two parties were<br />

involved in a dispute about contract termination, Nav N Go Kft filed a separate<br />

lawsuit against the Company’s three subsidiaries, Mio <strong>International</strong> Limited, Mio<br />

Technology Benelux NV and Mio Technology USA Limited, alleging their violation<br />

of contract and infringement of its copyright. The three lawsuits are under the<br />

jurisdiction of the courts in the United States of America, Belgium and Hungary,<br />

respectively. <strong>MiTAC</strong> has assigned lawyers in the local and evaluated there’s no<br />

important or negative influence in finance and operation.<br />

(14) Other important risks and their countermeasures: None.<br />

7. Other important events: None.<br />
