I. To ShareholdersDear Ladies and Gentlemen:Thanks you for your encouragement and support to MiTAC in last year.In <strong>2007</strong>, the global information technology industry had continuing and stable growth.MiTAC, the integrated service provider, IDMS (Innovation, Design, Manufacture, Service),while facing challenges from competitors managed to perform outstandingly for the bestinterest of shareholders with persistence for innovation, technology integration, and acomprehensive supply chain.Sales revenues and profitabilityMiTAC had accumulative sales revenue of NT$ 82.074 billion generated in <strong>2007</strong> thatrepresented slightly 0.97% decay from the sales revenue of NT$ 82.882 billion in 2006. Yet,by the change of product’s combination that GPS products have gained the percentage ofcombination, the gross profits was increasing to NT$ 6.492 billion, which is 5.89% up than2006 and was 100.5% achievement rate comparing to the original target. The net earnings pershare (EPS) were NT$ 4.07.Responding to business environment and R&D and product developmentInformation and telecommunications have grown successfully in the last a few years.MiTAC had growth in the wireless communication market with high gross profits earned.Global conjuncture was affected by the subprime mortgage crisis and up of oil prices,nonferrous metals and grains in <strong>2007</strong>; therefore, market influence caused the IT industry torecover slowly. Yet, the market of GPS-functionable PND (Portal Navigation Device) is fastgrowing up. From the estimation of Canalys (the market study institute), the delivery capacityof PND in <strong>2007</strong> are up to 38.95 million sets, about 132% up than 2006 (16.77 million sets). Atthis moment, the ratio of vehicles running in American and European region that have beingequipped with GPS is still low, which is accelerating the fast developing of GPS-functionablePND market demanding that is relatively lower in price.Under this premise, the trend-oriented MiTAC has been focusing on the PND market that isa combination product of media amusement and digital mobile. Except to keep running on ournavigating brand, in <strong>2007</strong>, we’ve merged Navman to enrich our R&D experiences andenhance software integration capability. Moreover, in <strong>2007</strong>, we also have merged TyanComputer Corp., the leading vendor in the R&D of high-level mainboards. Except for PNDmarket, we’ve also enhanced our competition capability in the server and high-efficiencyoperation market as well.Regarding the pursuing of environment friendly by EU, MiTAC has accommodated toWEEE and RoHS to conduct in the design and supply chain framework in operation. In theR&D of server products, we devote to the environmental protection subject and conduct in theRoHS standard of products to make effort on elevating the application effectiveness of spaceand power consumption.By the regulations announced from the letter of Accounting Research and DevelopmentFoundation in Taiwan in March <strong>2007</strong>, since 2008, all of employee’s bonus shares shall be part-1-


of the company’s expenses and not to be the surplus appropriation anymore. This enactmentchange makes little influence to MiTAC. For the new-added expense, we’ll balance it by moreeffective operation and alleviate the impact to minimum.The innovation and R&DTo the subjects of innovation and R&D, by following the past tradition, MiTAC had anamount equivalent to 2% of sales revenues appropriated in <strong>2007</strong> for R&D activities toreinforce the competitiveness of company taken as a whole. MiTAC had 248 patents filed in<strong>2007</strong> ranking 6 th nationwide. It was indeed a much better ranking compared to the previousyear.To ensure leading, MiTAC applied its competition advances, strategic planning andefficient financial operation to launch to go on serving major customers, concentratecompany’s resources to develop strategic products; expand the leading superiority under thebasis of existed innovative integration and consistent to the environmental commitments. Weanticipate that all core products will demonstrate a strong growing trend to go on meeting thetargeted annual profits.Prospective in 2008In 2008, all product lines of MiTAC International will have innovative development andprogress. In term of terminal computer development, in addition to positively developing thecustomer-made products and x86 workstations products to maintain our products deliveryamount in certain level, we also are concentrating on the varied market scopes, such as kidsPC and MID for mobile Internet users, etc., to balance the personal characteristicdevelopment on computer tools. In terms of enterprise system product development, inaddition to developing the server industry further for upholding the competition advantagecontinuously, the mission is to have the mass production of new customers and productsarranged. In terms of high-level server products, regarding the high-speed computers andcluster computing application, we are going to develop more different kinds of high-densityand power-saving rack-based servers SFF. In terms of wireless communications, MiTAC willapply collective resources for the development and production of converged devices, usingperfectly planned navigation graphical software and combining Internet applications todevelop in the direction of value-added connected PND, and launch the customer-madeproducts and improve the convenience and smoothness of operating interface; in addition,MiTAC will devote to the completeness of graphical data and products with variedapplications; continuously enhance our competition advantage by means of application,integration, innovation, production quality, cost control. MiTAC will expand new marketthrough our strategic alliances, the internationally famous vendors, in hardware, software andcommunication services. We predict that the delivery amount of PND in 2008 will increasethan <strong>2007</strong>.MiTAC International is confident about maintaining innovative R&D, developing uniquetechnology, and upholding customer satisfaction with core competence of “supply chainmanagement”, “brand management”, “technologies integration” “information management”and “product lifecycle management” under efficient operation and IT structure in the years tocome. MiTAC is determined to make a record in the competitive market by having theupstream and downstream supply chain integrated in order to provide a total solution, secure aleading position, and feedback to shareholders and society as a whole.Sincerely yours,-2-

converting price is to be adjusted on the stock split cut-off date. If therecapitalization of cash is by pricing and purchasing or if the recapitalizationof cash is by attending global depository receipt, since there is not anEx-right cut-off date designated, the converting price is to be adjusted uponthe completion of stock issuance.2) Upon the issuance of the convertible debenture bond, if the Company has marketablesecurities with debt-for-equity SWAP or stock option issued at the price lower thanthe transfer price per share (Note 1) or stock option price, or, if debt-for-equitySWAP is offered to others for a reason other than the recapitalization of cash,converting price is to be adjusted according to the following equation (rounded up tothe first decimal of New Taiwan Dollar) also, please contact the GreTai to have theconverting price adjusted on the issuance date of the marketable security or stockoption:Adjustedconvertingprice=Convertingprice beforeadjustment× Outstandingstock sharesConverting price or stock+option price of new bonus ×shares or stock optionConverting shares orstock option shares ofnewly issued marketablesecurity or stock optionOutstanding stock shares + Converting shares or stock option shares of newly issuedmarketable security or stock optionNote 1: The market price per share is the average closing price of the Company’scommon stock share for one business day, three business days, or fivebusiness days prior to the cutoff date of the marketable security withdebt-for-equity swap or stock option.Note 2: The outstanding shares are net of the Treasury stock shares that are not yetcancelled or transferred.Note 3: If the marketable security with debt-for-equity swap or stock option is paidfor with the Treasury stock, the outstanding stock shares in the equation arenet of the new bonus shares for the newly issued marketable security orstock option.3) Upon the issuance of the convertible debenture bond, if the outstanding commonstock shares are reduced for a reason other than the cancellation of Treasury stock,the converting price is to be adjusted according to the equation below; also, pleasecontact the GreTai to have it adjusted on the decapitalization cutoff date:Adjusted converting price=Converting price before adjustment×Outstanding common shares before decapitalizationOutstanding common shares after decapitalizationNote 1: The outstanding shares are net of the Treasury stock shares that are not yetcancelled or transferred.(3) Converting price resetIn addition to having the converting price adjusted according to the aforementionedanti-dilution clause, the Company is to have the price reset on the date when it is issuedfor six months and the stock dividend ex-right cutoff date or ex-dividend cutoff date(whichever is later) from <strong>2007</strong> to 2010.If there is no stock dividend or cash dividenddistributed in the year, the converting price (no adjustment is needed if it is higher thanthe converting price of the year before the price reset) is to be reset on the cutoff date ofJuly 5th according to the pricing model for converting price in clause (1).The adjustedconverting price may not be lower than an amount equivalent to 80% of the converting-51-

6. New bonus shares for merger or accepting stock shares from another company:(1) Disclosure of new bonus shares for merger or accepting stock shares from anothercompany in recent years or up to the publication of the annual report:1) To enhance competition capability, the Company has applied the “asymmetric merge”model to merge Tyan Computer Corp. This merger issue has passed the board meetingheld on March 22, <strong>2007</strong> by both parties and accepted by Tyan Computer’sshareholders annual convention held on June 13, <strong>2007</strong>. After merger, MiTAC is theone who has absorbed Tyan Computer; the late one thus has become a vanished firm.The share-exchanging rate between MiTAC and Tyan is 1:1.26 (1.26 Tyan Computercommon shares can exchange one MiTAC common share), which MiTAC hasextended stock shares issuance in an amount of 50,577,689 common shares; theissuance date was Oct 16, <strong>2007</strong>. MiTAC’s new shares from the merger were open tomarket exchange since Dec 20, <strong>2007</strong>. This merger has been approved by the FinancialSupervisory Commission, Executive Yuan and the Company’s capital shares changeregistration is completed.2) Evaluation comments from the undertaking securities dealer on the ex-share issuancefor merger or similar in the last quarter:A. Date completing the merge registration: Dec 7, <strong>2007</strong>B. Impact to the Company’s operations:By acquiring the remarkable marketing network and R&D & technologicalservices of customer-made products from Tyan Computer, the Company canutilize the advantage upon R&D & sales end to associate the servers and mainboards business, which enable MiTAC providing a total solution with moreflexible design capability and upgrade the Company’s competition capability inthe related field.C. Impact to the Company’s finance:Preliminary Q1, 2008 income of MiTAC is NT$15,132 million, lower thanearned in Q1 <strong>2007</strong> (before the merger) (NT$17,898 million). Possible reasoncausing the income decay is from global recession made by the subprimemortgage crisis in America, and by the transition of new and old products.D. Impact on shareholder’s equity:After the merger, MiTAC has re-associated the interior resource and launchednew products to market, which will enrich the market competition capability inreturn. We anticipate promoting the profit-earning ability over the merger effortthat will gradually appear and effective resource applications. The merger thusshows a positive effort to shareholder’s equity.E. Does merger effort appear?The merger now is still in a transition period; after it is complete, the mergereffect can be shown in the prospects of integrating the Company’s servers,high-end main boards and barebones-system products and give customersproducts with diverse functions, which will contribute positive benefit toenhance competition energy to market. We anticipate that the merger effort willappear gradually in the near future.3) Substantially interpret the relevant impact to shareholder’s equity for the operationeffectiveness that fails to meet the planned one in last quarter: N/A(2) Except OTC firms, disclosure of new bonus shares for merger or accepting stock sharesfrom another company approved by the Board of Directors in recent years or up to the-62-


publication of the annual report: none.7. Fund plan and application:There is not any outstanding fund planning or any fruitless fund project up to thequarter prior to the printing of the annual report.-63-

In <strong>2007</strong>, the market for Client system business products grew by 13.2%. Basedon Institute for Information Industry projections, in 2008, the growth rate willbe approximately 10.9%.-66-

In the home market, Client system business has been repositioned, with theirraw processing horsepower deemphasized and the focus shifted to their use inmultimedia entertainment and digital home applications. As a result, personalcomputers are integrating functionality related to graphics, video, audio, anddata, to initiate a new phase of strong growth.D. Under the high security and efficient remote control, the industry desperatelyneeds an intense design and system integration from ODM vendors, whichprecisely meets MiTAC’s powerful system integration capability making closecooperation with international well-known brands manufacturers; the futuregrowth vision is steady.E. Since the trend of remarkable growth on global terminal computers is hard,MiTAC will associate the superiority of systemic integration and supply-67-


customers barebones systems or complete computer sets for solution tocustomers.F. Pricing pressures are increasing for major brand vendors, and the ability ofTaiwanese companies to fulfill orders for contract manufacturing at low cost isa compelling advantage. With brand vendors continuing to increase the shareof manufacturing outsourced, Taiwanese companies can expect to see theirshipment volumes grows as a result.G. From the popularity broadband network built by digital broadcast, cell phones,Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and Fiber to the Home (FTTH),etc., digital technologies have accessed to homes from enterprises. Appliancesapplied to connect Internet beyond PCs are TV sets, audio-video homeappliances, refrigerators, air conditioners, wash machines and telephones, etc.;the services are in a wide variety.H. As studied by Forrester Research, upon the constant increasing of worldwidebroadband users, it is predicted that in 2010, home broadband users will gainto approx. 46.5 million and the related web-centric digital business (DMA, IPSTB, IP TV and NAS, etc.) and end-user storage products will be furthergrowing up in response.I. Along with the launches of digital TV channels and mature of multimediaapplications, the vehicle-carried and hand-carried TV market demanding willgrow up for many times.2) Enterprise productsServers are used mainly for building corporate information systems, makingthem an essential infrastructure investment for businesses. Because informationsystems are a critical tool for any modern corporation seeking to sustain itsoperations, companies place great importance on total cost of ownership (TCO,Total Cost of Ownership) when it comes to purchasing servers. TCO includes thebusiness costs incurred when the system is not operational as well as regularmaintenance costs. Therefore, they demand reliability, availability, serviceability,usability, and manageability – characteristics that are collectively termedRASUM – from servers, which consequently require longer times for productdevelopment and testing. Once products are introduced on the market, they havecorrespondingly higher margins and a longer product life cycle. As a result,major multinational server vendors are relatively cautious when it comes tooutsourcing manufacturing or design of their server products, and building abusiness partnership requires a longer time. Besides hardware products, softwareproducts are another important factor in the quality of services provided byservers.In terms of product types, traditional pedestal servers are already seeinggradual decreases in their share of shipments in the American market. Replacingthem as the mainstream choice are rack-mount servers, and this shift shouldbecome evident in Europe and Asia as well over the next one or two years.-68-


Following rack-mount servers are high compute-density blade servers. Becauseof the more stringent heat dissipation demands of rack-mount and blade serversstemming from their high compute densities, vendors in this segment will bespending more for R&D and allied investment than was necessary in the past forpedestal servers.As for the storage device market, in the past, under the circumstance of closedsupply structure and the production amount of uniform model of products aresmall, vendors rarely outsourcing from Asian region since the manufacturingprofit is good enough. But in the past two years, a terrible market competition hasforced vendors seeking for outsourcing partners in Asian; this will result instorage vendors outsourcing a greater proportion of their manufacturing, whichwill greatly benefit Taiwanese vendors.3) Wireless communications productsA. Current state of the industry and development prospectsa. PDA – including PIM, GPS, and multimedia functionalityTraditional PDAs encountered stagnant growth in 2002. The mainfunction of these products, personal information management, was notconsidered a must-have feature in the consumer market. However, as theproduct evolved, the Portable Navigation Device (PND) products grow upfast and under the trend of using the Converged Mobile Device – acombination of PDA and phone – to associate communication, GPS andcomputing; PDA market has been integrated by the main stream products.Data published by IDC market survey result shows that the shipmentamount of global traditional PDA (without embedded cell phone) in Q3<strong>2007</strong> were 728 thousand pieces, about 40% down than Q3 2006; the annualshipment amount was also down for 15 quarters consecutively. However,MiTAC has introduced innovative functions into PDA products withattractive “available functions – to – price ratio, the sales status of allMio-branded GPS products is well and maintains in global top 3 in stable.b. Portable Navigation DeviceStatistical data compiled by the research institutes showed that worldwideshipments of GPS products totaled approximately US$4 billion in 1998,US$17 billion in 2005, and expected to reach US$25 billion in 2008. ThePortable Navigation Device is expected to be used by over 3 billion usersworldwide in 2020 and with a market value of NT$16,000 billion. Theglobal market value of GPS will reach EURO 270 billion.After the use of GPS shifted from the military to commerce, portablenavigation devices have caught the attention of the world in recent yearsafter the technology breakthrough for compact size and power-saving; also,the availability of cost-effective components and digital graphics andinformation technology. Thus, the market of mobile navigating products hasbecome hot recently.And from latest study data published by Canalys, the global shipmentamount of GPS devices were 16.8 million pieces in 2006, as compared to7.4 million shipped in 2005, the growth ratio is 127%. In <strong>2007</strong> the shipmentamount are largely increasing to 39 million pieces. In global PND market,the EMEA area is the highest demanding one that shares about 71% of-69-


global total demanding; the second one is in North American, about 20% ofglobal total consumption.As the PND products come to the growing stage in product’s life cycle,the competition becomes severe. The trend of making GPS combine cellphone, camera and other devices, as well as more entry-level productslaunched to market, the shipment amount are elevated and price is down.The average price of ASP in 2006 is 23% down than in 2005. As predictedby the study institutes, disregard the price down, the global vehiclesproduced in 2010 are about 65 million sets,although the price has fallensharply, as counted by one third of them that are equipped with PND; thePND market would reach 20 million pieces. For the vehicles currently run inthe world there are over 800 million of them now are not equipped with aPND yet The ratio of in-car GPS systems in Europe (6~8% in Europe and2~4% in North America) remains low. Motor companies remain using highprice OE vehicle embedded PND; therefore, the PND market with low priceGPS has room for growth in the market.c. Smart PhoneMobile communication devices with GPS function was the hot subject in<strong>2007</strong>. 2008 is the year of GPS cell phones. The main driving force of GPScell phones is from the related codes being built worldwide (USA: E-911,EU: E-112 and Japan: E110/119) and progress of micro process in wafergraphics and packing technologies. The solution plan of single-chipsemiconductor, better digital navigation map, states-of-art map software andlocation based services have stimulated market demanding forcefully. Themarket research institutes estimate that shipment amount of GPS cell phonesin 2008 will reach 240 million pieces, 550 million pieces in 2012; the ratioof GPS-supported cell phones to all cell phones is predicted 30%. In 2008,the market demanding of GPS-supported cell phones will reach US$50billion and over US$100 billion worldwide in 2012.The market of smart phone is expected to have dramatic growth alongwith the data processing functionality improving continuously, the pricedropping, several smart phones being promoted, and the added values(location based service (LBS) and etc.) provided by the communicationsindustry. GPS is going to be a “killer” application to cell phones. By the yearof 2010, shipments of converged Windows Mobile device will approach57,640,000 with a compound growth rate of 75.6% reached and a greatgrowth potential market expected.B. Interconnectedness of the industry’s upstream and downstream segmentsTaiwan vendors have supplied approx. 80% of personal GPS devices perglobal demanding, which shows the powerful integrating capability ofTaiwanese GPS vendors throughout the GPS industry’s supply chain. Thehandheld device industry lays stress on “short, small, light, thin” consumerproducts that are easy to carry and are personalized. As most vendors in theindustry handle everything from initial concept (especially for ID design) totesting and production of the finished device, they must have the capability toproduce all-in-one embedded system devices, as well as to integrate softwareand hardware. The upstream and mid-stream segment includes vendors of keyhardware components such as microprocessors, displays, touch panels,-70-


memory, driver ICs, batteries, acoustic filter, quartz oscillator, objectivedevices, antenna, GPS chipset, GPS module, receiver, connectors andpushbuttons, etc., plus the operating systems integration, GIS graphic data andterminal products, as well as the digital content and software applicationssupplied by multimedia developers. Downstream vendors are mainlyOEM/ODM customers and channel businesses.C. Various product development trendsBesides their characteristic “portable information,” handhelds alsoincorporate the latest advances in web applications and wirelesscommunications technology, so that the information and communications thata user is interested in are accessible at any time and from any place. Highvalue-added products can be targeted at different markets.a. Portable Navigation DeviceWhile the pure PDA market shrank and GPS application is designedwithout PDA interface, a common-use PND, the PND-embedded will becombined with other consumer electronic products, such as GPS, mobile TV,DAB & PMP, becoming a sort of multi-functional products gathering GPS,mobile TV, DAB & PMP. PND will focus on the applications of verbalidentification and combination; more other consuming functions also will beadded to PND products, such as MP3, Blue Tooth, iPod and USB, etc.Besides, requirement to the GPS products are region-oriented; for example,Asia-Pacific consumers pay more attention to multimedia audio-videoamusement capability (digital TV/DVD), whereas consumers in Japan (topGPS penetration ratio area in the world) pay more attention to drivinginformation and 3D satellite navigation capability. In European market,consumers rather emphasize on driving safety and emergent communicationrequirement; yet, North American consumers prefer simple operatinginterface.The key parts’ prices of GPS are decreasing for over 20% per year and theratio of product price and functional price is accepted by commonconsumers. While the commercial application of PND has been initiatedsince 1990, the market demanding of products applied for each of the GPSapplications is growing in geometric ratio and is developed in the trends oflow price, tiny size, diverse functions and popularization. In addition,including real-time information to PND has become a new trend already;PND navigation with navigation map software and Internet application willbecome a necessity of consumers in daily life.b.Smart PhoneResearch data indicates that the estimated associated annual growing rateof smart phone within 2006~2011 is 30.3%; the major region of growth is inN. America and W. Europe, where the associated annual growth ratios are54.7% and 42.9% in respective. As per the high growth and ASP promotion,high-end and smart cell phone products currently are rising up in marketdemanding rapidly. The basic trend of combining the communication andcomputing functions to cell phones remains unchanged. In performances,outer appearance and applications, the information and amusementdemanding become more and more significant. Most of cell phonesproduced now can play music, video files, take pictures and have Blue-71-


Tooth capability; the camera function made in cell phones has exceeded78% in <strong>2007</strong>.From GPS module downsizing, improvement of graphical informationprocessing capability and the popularization of mobile positioning service,the embedded mobile communication devices have improved product’svalues. It is predicted that in 2008, the global shipment amount of GPS cellphones are 248 million pieces and in 2010 are to be 540 million pieces.From penetrating GPS function to smart cell phone, Europe will become thenext largest market of GPS cell phones. Under the trend of mobilecommunication and data transmission, Microsoft operating system for smartphones that collects the functions of communication, audio-videomultimedia, documentation processing and email together is growing up in aratio over 10% per year as the rapidest growing operating platformworldwide.D. Competitive landscapea. Competition among different operating systemsFor smart phone, the primary operating systems are the Symbian OSsupported by mobile phone vendors such as Nokia and Sony Erickson, andMicrosoft’s Windows Mobile, which is favored by PC vendors. In addition,a small number of smart phones use Linux and Palm OS, such as modelsfrom Motorola and PalmOne.From the development of smart phone operating system, although theSymbian operating system remains the leader among smart phones, however,with a market share of 64% according to IDC, it projects that a concertedpush for Microsoft’s Windows Mobile operating system fromtelecommunications network operators and major mobile phone vendors, aswell as Taiwanese smart phone makers will push Symbian’s market sharedown to 54.8% in 2010, while Windows Mobile’s own market share willincrease from 16.5% to 22.1%. Symbian’s operating system and Microsoft’sWindows Mobile operating system together take up 80% market share ofsmart phone market.Microsoft has cooperated with 115 vendors in 55 nations worldwide andwith a partnership formed with over 100 multimedia services. There are over18,000 business applications made and with a comprehensive industrialecosystem constructed. According to Microsoft’s own internal projections,Microsoft can build on the worldwide Windows user base of 700 million toraise their share of the mobile phone software market to up to 60%. Allindications are that the advantages of Microsoft’s operating system, such asrich multimedia and web features, data sharing facilities (to and from a PC),familiar interface, file-level compatibility, full-color AV support fast datatransfer speeds, and declining prices and broad market application potentialwill increase its penetration in the smart phone segment.b. Competition among vendorsHandheld device is expected to grow with diversity and severecompetition while more vendors are involved in R&D, manufacturing, andproduction. MiTAC developed and manufactured the world’s first handheldcomputer based on Microsoft’s operating system platform and integrating a-72-


GPS navigation system. It successfully developed a market for its product,and since its launch in late 2003; it has been well received in European andAsian markets, with shipments hitting new highs consistently. In terms ofproduct positioning, we are continuing our successful approach of designingproducts around consumer needs and bundling comprehensive maps and aneasy-to-use, intuitive user interface to differentiate our products.As for smart phone, although they comprise a niche market, shipments aregrowing rapidly and they represent an enormous business opportunity.MiTAC has already introduced several Microsoft OS-based smart phones,demonstrating its aggressive stance. Combining satellite, navigationtechnology, MiTAC has the first Windows Mobile GPS intelligent smartphone introduced in 2006 that provides file management and information tohave navigation, communications, and digital life data combined forbusiness users with their need for mobile information access and its successis evidenced with the sales record.MiTAC is drawing on sustained R&D innovation, manufacturing quality,and cost controls to strengthen its competitive advantage. In particular, it isdeveloping products that take into account market trends, customersatisfaction, and the ability to create customer demand. Through strategicalliances with major international vendors in software, hardware, and mobilecommunication services, as well as by continuing to create innovativeproducts, develop new markets, and winning new orders.4) Channel server productsA. From IDC study report, in the following four years, x86 servers will growup stably and the trading amount will increase to 33.7 billion in 2009 from26.5 billion in 2005. The associated mean annual growth rate exceeds 7%. Ascomparing with the non-x86 professional servers under special applicationsthat are saturated in market demanding, the vision on x86 servers market isoptimistic, many companies and individuals change to use x86 servers. Afterthe two-core and four-core products were launched in 2006, companiesgradually take actions on transferring server equipment; now the four-coreservers are the mainstream of market already. The server industry isanticipated to be prosperous.MiTAC has been dedicated to the design and manufacturing of x86 servermain boards; we predict that in 2009, MiTAC can take 10% market share onIntel servers and 35% on AMD servers, which is about 10% of the x86 servermarket.B. Future vision and growth trend on super computersFor super computer applications, since super computers have been appliedin colleges, enterprises research institutes and governmental offices and arespecific market oriented. In the past, supper computers are bought mainly toreplace old one, the growth thus is restricted and not outstanding. Yet, from thespecial requirements made from genetic engineering or biochemicaltechnologies, it might turn the super computer and parts supply into hotbusiness.-73-


In the past a few years, super computer market expands rapidly; IDCpredicts that the Technical Workgroups market, which are the entry-level ofsuper computers, will largely grow up and, as predicted by Mohr law, access adifferent development status per each three months. By comparing with otherhigh-price high speed computers, the slowdown of expansion on these bigcomputers will become a market trend. On the contrary, advanced scientifictechnologies can drive enterprises to develop products with lower cost, higherefficiency and less power consumption. IDC thus predicts that in 2009, thegrowth of low price, low-end high-speed super computers like TechnicalWorkgroup would be faster; the shipment amount will exceed 230,000 sets peryear; the associated mean growing rate is 13.4% and business income canexceed US$ 2.4 billion. It is obvious that the brand new blue-sea market ofhigh-speed super computers has been established.(3) Technology and R&D1) R&D costUnit: NT$ ThousandYearItem<strong>2007</strong> Mar 31, 2008 (Note)R&D cost 1,767,999 410,065Note: Up to the quarter prior to the print of the annual report.2) Technologies or products successfully developed in the most recent completedyear and the current year to the publication date of this annual reportMiTAC’s main R&D strategy is to respond to global development trends in thewireless communications, mobile communications, and web applications markets,keeping abreast of new technology and product development timetables, andcoordinating R&D staff in Taiwan, China and the US to launch new products.MiTAC works to conform to product specifications promulgated by technologyleaders in the mainstream market, while developing proprietary technologiesin-house and introducing products that meet market demand in a timely manner toseize business opportunities.

America 30,779,816Europe 29,733,158Asia & Australia 20,433,605Taiwan 1,127,318Total 82,073,897A. Client system business products According to Institute for Information Industrystatistics, worldwide sales for Client system business in <strong>2007</strong> were approximately150 million units. MiTAC sold roughly 110 million entry-level and midrangeworkstations and Client system business and handheld devices, for a market shareof roughly 7.23%.Because the majority of MiTAC’s OEM customers are drawn from the ranks-79-


of the world’s top ten PC brand vendors, as MiTAC imitates on effort to increaseits share of the OEM market, and the global economy recovers, high growth canbe expected for 2008, with MiTAC’s market share rising furthers.B. Enterprise productsBecause MiTAC’s products are mainly produced for ODM customers, it ismore difficult to gauge their market share. Drawing on many years of experience,Taiwan’s major IT vendors are already able to provide integrated global logisticsmanagement, providing customers with the best possible competitive advantageby coordinating design, testing, manufacturing, assembly, and distribution withthe customer’s market launch timetable. The evident trend towards internationalbrand vendors continuing to seek Taiwanese partners shows that more and morenon-PC products will be seeking their design and manufacture outsourced toTaiwanese companies. Most Taiwanese companies, including MiTAC, cananticipate enhanced competitiveness through this type of alliance, helping themexpand market share.C. Wireless communications productsIn <strong>2007</strong>, GPS products were a hot seller, with global PND shipments of around16.8 million units, and global GPS shipments of about 39 million units, about136% up than in 2006. MiTAC’s midrange, high-end, entry-level product lineupis complete; in <strong>2007</strong>, the shipments of MiTAC GPS products are close to 8million units. In 2008, MiTAC not only comprises on the hand-carried GPSproduct line up but also on the pre-equipped and post-equipped vehicle-equippedGPS market positively by cooperating with vehicle manufacturers. By regionview, the markets in different regions of the world are:a. European marketEuropean market remains the main market with the top five markets rankedin the order of Germany, UK, France, Italy, and Spain that represented over70% market share in Europe. In 2008, sales in W. European market are up for36%. According to the growth analysis per nation, it was maintained at thelevel of 60%~100% in 2006-<strong>2007</strong>. Market study institutes predict that in <strong>2007</strong>,over 14.4 million PND units are sold in W. European market; they also predictthat it will increase to 20 million units in 2008, 36% up than in <strong>2007</strong>. PNDunits sold in E. European market were about 550,000 units in <strong>2007</strong>, thepredicted sales amount in 2008 is over one million units. MiTAC has stablegrowth secured in the market of the European community; for thenew-developing markets beyond USA and European nations, MiTAC is topone in many countries.b. North AmericaIn <strong>2007</strong>, annual GPS shipments to North America were 12 million units thatshares 31% of global market, which is the second biggest market in the worldthat is only below European market. MiTAC, the worldwide major GPS-80-


supplier coming from Taiwan, took 6% of USA market in Q4 of <strong>2007</strong> by itsown “Mio” brand and becomes the top four GPS brand in America.c. Asia-Pacific marketThe Asia-Pacific area is the second fast growing area in the world; in <strong>2007</strong>,there were totally 4,517.5 thousand GPS units sold in this area, from which S.Korea shares 43% and all sellers are local dealers; Australia shares 19%,Mainland China shares 14% and Taiwan shares 8%; Japan only shares 4% ofmobile GPS market in Asia-Pacific area (most cars are equipped with GPSfunction already and those units are excluded from the GPS unit sold inmarket). In <strong>2007</strong>, the GPS market in Asia-Pacific area has grown up for 139%.From the latest data published by Canalys, in <strong>2007</strong>, Taiwan has sold out359.4 thousand GPS units; among them, MiTAC’s Mio products shares 40%from Taiwan market as the top one among the GPS suppliers. In Q1 <strong>2007</strong>,MiTAC has merged Navman and the shipments in Asia-Pacific area largelyincreased and become the top one GPS brand in Asia-Pacific area.While the GPS product price is going down and the demand of handheldphones for GPS application is growing. The high demand for cars in MainlandChina and the growing recognition and demand of consumers for navigationproducts has inspired the local automobile industry to develop and sell GPSproducts or promote GPS-enabled navigation system; since MiTAC hascooperated with many vehicle manufacturers in Mainland China and themarket share of Mio products is about 25%, therefore, market growth isexpected. GPS market demand in Japan is a different practice from the rest ofthe world. GPS combined with other products or cooperation with the carindustry is expected. So far MiTAC is working on products certification in thegoal of accessing the supply chain of vehicle manufacturers; and there shouldbe significant growth in 2008.Global smart phones were mainly in Western Europe before 2003, and thenthey started moving into North America and Asia since 2004. Relevant datashows that the associated growth rate of smart phone within 2006~2011 will be30.3%, N. American and W. European regions are the major regions of growth,which contribute the growth rates of 54.7% and 42.9% in respective. From thehigh market growing rate and elevation of ASP, we can see that the high-endand smart phone products are in a fast-developing stage. In <strong>2007</strong>, over 50%(52% to be exact) of smart phones will be shipped to Western Europe still for avolume of 26 million units. It shows a stable growth of smart phone in thishead market. The development of smart phone in North American, Japan,Korea, and Taiwan is second to the Western Europe market and the popularityof smart phones in those markets will grow continuously.From the downsizing of GPS module and embedded into mobilecommunication devices to increase the product’s value, it is predicted that the-81-


global shipments of GPS cell phones in 2008 would exceed 248 million unitsfrom 175 million units in <strong>2007</strong>. In 2012, the global shipments ofGPS-supported cell phones would grow up to 560 million units. By analyzedform regional market, N. America is the major market of GPS cell phone; it ispredicted that after the E911 Bill is enforced in 2008, the rate of GPScapability to all cell phones will grow up to 88.9%. Japanese market ownsmature services and cheap cell phone prices; as driven by operation vendorsand cell phone manufacturers, it is estimated that up to 2010, the rate of GPScapability equipped in cell phones will be 91.9% as top one in the world. In<strong>2007</strong>, there were only about 5 million GPS cell phones in Europe, yet, up to2012, it is predicted that GPS cell phones used in Europe would rise up to 90million. From the penetration of GPS capability to cell phones, Europe willbecome the next biggest market of GPS cell phone. MiTAC’s products arewell positioned; continuing product innovation, mobile positioning, marketexpansion, and increased orders will have a positive effect on future salesrevenues and market share.D. Channel servers productsFrom IDC study report, in the following four years, x86 servers will growup stably and the trading amount will increase to 33.7 billion in 2009 from26.5 billion in 2005. The associated mean annual growth rate exceeds 7%. Ascomparing with the non-x86 professional servers under special applicationsthat are saturated in market demanding, the vision on x86 servers market isoptimistic, many companies and individuals change to use x86 servers. Afterthe two-core and four-core products were launched to market in 2006,companies gradually take actions on transferring server equipment. From thereports of well-known press (Taiwan) e-Times (<strong>2007</strong>.5.2) and Computer News(<strong>2007</strong>.5.1), now the two-core servers are the mainstream of market andfour-core one would become the mainstream of tomorrow. The server industryis anticipated to be prosperous.MiTAC has been dedicated to the design and manufacturing of server mainboards; we predict that in 2009, MiTAC can take 10% market share on Intelservers and 35% on AMD servers, which is about 10% of the x 86 servermarket shares.3) Supply and demand projections and potential for future growthA. Client system business productsIt has already been more than 20 years since the PC arrived on the scene.Product development is largely mature, and at least as far as the major marketsof North America, Europe, and Japan are concerned the market is already quitesaturated with limited potential for continued growth. As for such new marketsas China, India, and Latin America, as PC penetration rates in these areas arelower than in the previously mentioned markets, the prospects for sustainedgrowth are excellent.-82-


The digital appliance business products market so far is expandingprosperously per the popularization of Internet, launch of digital TV channelsand elevating of wireless web transmission speed as well as driving from CPUvendors. It will go on grow up and forward to the trend of development inglobal market. MiTAC will accumulate sufficient energy from ODM, and takeup the extremely rapid developing digital appliance business products marketby operating with international famous manufacturers.B. Enterprise productsWith economic recovery more clearly evident, these are greater willingnesson the part of businesses to invest in IT. The server market has seen demandrecover, and contract-manufacturing orders from major international servervendors are on the rise. Global server shipments have been growing at anaverage of 10% since 2003.In response to a simultaneous increase in volume and decline in prices, majorinternational server vendors are seeking to increase competitiveness and expandmarket share by lowering costs through an increase in the proportion ofmanufacturing that they are outsourcing. As a result, Taiwanese servercompanies with their advantages in cost, development speed and deliveryflexibility have been direct beneficiaries. The scope of Taiwan’s server industryis expanding in tandem with the increase in contract manufacturing orders.Though the majority of manufacturing outsourcing by international vendors toTaiwanese companies is for entry-level and low-end products, volume increasesand a rising proportion of higher-priced rack-optimized and blade servers arecompensating for falling prices for some components and for contractmanufacturing services, so that overall shipment value continue to showgrowth.Looking to 2008 of Taiwan servers market, although the global prosperity isunder the shadow of subprime mortgage, still, in general, we predict that it willmaintain slow growth. For the new products like blade servers and iSCSIstorage devices, we predict a relatively outstanding growth is reachable; and theshipments of servers in Taiwan market should be maintained in growth.C. Wireless communications productsThe push behind the European Union’s Galileo project and the FCC E-911communications security rules is leading to the prospect of the development ofeven more novel applications for GPS products. As the use of GPS-basedservices become more convenient, and the services become more reliable andaffordable, demand for consumer-oriented applications in areas such asrecreation and car navigation is continuing to increase. By drawing on theextensive resources of the IT industry as a whole, the increasing breadth ofavailable GPS services, and integration with mobile communications, the GPSmarket will become increasingly diverse, and give rise to enormous businessopportunities. Combining PDA or smart phone to GPS receiver has become akey subject of development for GPS vendors to the mobile positioningapplication products, which include normal consumable GPS electronic-83-


products (PDA, Handheld PC, Smart Phone and vehicle PND). The applicationsis broad and would share two third of GPS market.As indicated by relevant study reports, the estimated market demanding ofglobal smart phones in 2008 is 141 million units, yoy is +31.78%; theassociated growing rate in 2006~2011 can meet 30%. The majormarket-growing area is in N. America (in 2006~2011 the associated growingrate is 54.7% and in W. Europe the growing rate is 42.9%). From theoutstanding growth rate and up of asp, it is clear that the high-end and smartphone products are to grow up in market demanding sharply. It is estimated thatthe growing rate of windows mobile OS would be 53.3% in 2008. With growthexpected to be double that of other mobile phones over the next five years,smart phones promise to be the next star product. Microsoft vows to have thesales of phone software permits increased by one fold in 2008 for a volume of20 million sets. The market share of Microsoft’s Windows Mobile operatingsystem is growing continuingly and with product combination expanded. Thedevelopment and growth of the phone market will help make computersoftware and Internet service more meaningful to business users and consumers.MiTAC is working on self-brand smart phones and windows mobile OSplatform; using continual product innovation and strategic alliances withworld-class vendors to develop new markets and obtain new orders. Theseefforts will pay off in sustained revenue growth and increasing market share.D. Channel servers productsFor super computer applications, since super computers have been appliedin colleges, enterprises research institutes and governmental offices and arespecific market oriented. In the past, super computers are bought mainly toreplace old one, the growth thus is restricted and not outstanding. Yet, from thespecial requirements made from genetic engineering or biochemicaltechnologies, it might turn the super computer and parts supply into hotbusiness.In the past few years, super computer market expands rapidly; IDC predictsthat the Technical Workgroups market, which are the entry-level of supercomputers, will largely grow up and, as predicted by Mohr law, access adifferent development status per each three months. By comparing with otherhigh-price & high-speed computers, the slowdown of expansion on these bigcomputers will become a market trend. On the contrary, advanced scientifictechnologies can drive enterprises to develop products with lower cost, higherefficiency and less power consumption. IDC thus predicts that in 2009, thegrowth of low price, low-end high-speed super computers like TechnicalWorkgroup would be faster; the shipment amount will exceed 230,000 sets peryear; the associated mean growing rate is 13.4% and business income canexceed US$ 2.4 billion. It is obvious that the brand new blue-sea market ofhigh-speed super computers has been established.4) Favorable and unfavorable factors affecting MiTAC’s competitive position and-84-


development prospects, and strategic responsesTo overcome the challenges presented by global economic recession, MiTACwill take advantage of the new Joint Development Manufacturing (JDM)approach that combines global R&D, engineering, manufacturing design, projectmanufacturing, sales distribution, and technical/after-sales support to achievehigher levels of customer satisfaction and a greater competitive advantage overrivals.A. Competitive positionThe core competitive strength in MiTAC’s wireless communications businessand products lies in: Sales development, R&D capabilities, effective cost control,stable product quality and high-yield production process, fast mass productionramp-up, inventory management and component procurement, thorough logisticsupport capabilities, and market cooperation and sound financials.MiTAC’s core competitive strength is as follows:a. Understanding of customer requirements and market directions: Observingthe continued growth of the market for wireless communications-enabledhandhelds, MiTAC and its customers are jointly developing this market. Inaddition, MiTAC is discussing cooperative ventures with several world-classIT and communications vendors. This interaction allows MiTAC to graspmarket trends and quickly develop new products that reflect emergingdemand.b. Collaborate with first-rank software and hardware vendors to ensure supply:Include software vendors to support software development and suppliers ofkey hardware components.c. R&D innovation: A series of products have won awards and achieved marketshare leadership.d. Product quality continues to advance and production capacity to expand: Theaccumulation of many years of experience with PC and embedded systemstechnology is an important advantage in design and manufacturing, andproduction capacity of PND has also increased for 30% global market share.e. By taking advantage of existing channel markets and the Group’s globallogistics and service network, MiTAC can provide more comprehensivecustomer service.B. Factors favorable to development prospectsa. Integration of supply chain for Internet infrastructure equipmentAn effective distribution approach combined with the development andimplementation of global e-commerce mechanisms has enabled MiTAC todevelop products with high unit price, adopt direct production anddistribution model, greatly increasing efficiency, reducing costs and raisingcustomer satisfaction.b. Global e-manufacturing modelAfter several years of refining a logistics model, MiTAC’se-manufacturing infrastructure has been completed. This infrastructureencompasses R&D and design operations in Taiwan and the US, combinedwith production sites in China and Taiwan where modules and half-finishedproducts are manufactured, and BTO/CTO assembly centers in the US,Australia, and the UK, which together form a globally distributed-85-


manufacturing system. This system is organized in a way that takes intoaccount factors such as various products’ technological sophistication,production cost, transport times, and the tariffs to which they are subjected, inorder to achieve the ability to create an order fulfillment system that canrespond in real time to customer needs. In Taiwan, the major products are themainboards workstations servers and data-storing devices with high technicalgrade; the low technical grade parts and systems of products needing longtransporting time are manufactured in Mainland China; and the high-pricemajor parts are acquired from worldwide production bases. Such a globallydistributed manufacturing network has enabled MiTAC to grow from aregional organization into an international e-manufacturer with worldwideR&D, engineering, production, and distribution infrastructure.c. Expand development of high value-added productsIn response to emerging development trends favoring the integration ofwireless network communications and computers, MiTAC is formingstrategic alliances with leading international vendors to jointly developmarkets. MiTAC has demonstrated outstanding innovation and design, R&D,production, and manufacturing capability in GPS and Smart Phones; also, hasseveral GPS-enabled navigation products launched in market. MiTAC has theconcept of Computing and GPS integrated and applied to Smart Phone withvoice and data processing capability combined to compete in marketsuccessfully in the sense of functionality (such as, multimedia, games,personal data management, and PC data transmission), ID design, and price.MiTAC will develop a diverse range of products including WindowsCE-based handheld computers (PDA – including PIM, GPS, and multimediafunctionality) with GPS (PND - Portable Navigation Device) navigationfeatures, and smart phones (Smart Phone – PDA and Phone and GPS-enabledmultimedia functionality). MiTAC has continually introduced innovative andPND and GPS Smart Phone features and value-added services, and is movingtoward more sophisticated and real-world solutions to create enhanced value.PND navigation features combined with appropriate digital maps and wellthought-out navigation software will make PND an essential lifestyle devicefor mainstream consumers in the future.d. Strong market growing tendencyIn addition to continuing to develop key market such as North America andEurope, positively exploring markets with GPS growing potential inAsia-Pacific region including in Mainland China, Japanese and E. Europeanmarket, is also a key of development. Also ASP is down fast, yet, it doesn’truin profit and the market is still growing up in stable. The vehicle-embeddedGPS units are restricted to high-class models (slow in growth, in 2004~2006,the CAGR is about 10%~12%; the gross profit of leading brand’s endproducts is anticipated to maintain above 10%).e. Complete digitalization of the supply chainReflecting the needs of MiTAC’s global production, and to respond tolocalized requirements for different customers, MiTAC has not onlymodularized design of key components but it has also worked to integrateupstream vendors into a B2B e-commerce system. The aim is to achieve the-86-


ability to respond in real time to customer requirements, reducing operationalrisks, shrinking inventory levels, and providing clients with more responsiveservice.C. Factors unfavorable to development prospectsa. Intense competition: As major vendors continue to initiate development andmanufacture of handhelds, it forecasts that products will become more diverse.The price-down of OE vehicle embedded system has stimulated the high-endcompetitors to move down to take up market. PND and wirelesscommunications products will be integrated continuously. While thenavigating function of intelligent cellulars or high-grade cell phones canbreakthrough technical limit, upon the success of GPS-enabled sales model,even with only 30% of the hundreds of millions of cell phones sold equippedwith GPS-enabled device, it will soon replace PND and become the mainproduct in market.Responsive measures: Be attentive to R&D innovation, strengthen R&D capabilities, shortenproduct development times, and maintain ability to introduce new models.Then use product differentiation and mass production to maintainleadership in products and profitability. Increase customer satisfaction in areas from design to mass production andlogistic support. Seek opportunities to enter strategic alliances withworld-leading vendors. Make thorough use of global sales and distribution logistical approach.Establish comprehensive materials planning system, value chain andlogistic support capabilities.b. Key components remain controlled by foreign vendors and experience insoftware and hardware integration:Strategic response Maintain an excellent supply chain relation with international keycomponents suppliers. Training talents for operating platform andcommunications components and software and hardware integration is anurgent task to be dealt with for developing the smart phone market inTaiwan. Diversify suppliers for key components: Seek additional suppliers toensure ample sources of components and competitive pricing. In addition,establish excellent interactive relations with domestic vendors eitherproducing or planning to produce key components, and thereby increaseflexibility in supplier options. Use volume to obtain a support advantage: Because several productfamilies have sold well and won orders from large OEM/ODM customers,procurement costs have been greatly reduced.-87-

Expenses incurred to address environmental protection issuesLast year and in the current year of the publication date of this report, the Company hasnot suffered losses or been subjected to any fines stemming from environmentalcontamination.The Company’s policy regarding environment protection is as follows:As a professional computer assembly vendor, the production process consists of assemblyoperations. Therefore, the production process does not give rise to any regulated airpollution, water pollution, or toxic wastes. In addition, in 1992 the Company receivedrecognition from the Environmental Protection Agency as an outstanding vendor of top 500businesses in the Agency’s first environmental protection assessment. It achieved ISO14000 certification in 1997, and maintains a commitment to preventing pollution. In 1999,it won a two=year mark of distinction after passing a safety and hygiene system evaluationconducted by the Council of Labor Affairs. The Company shall continue to promoteenvironmental protection and worker safety, with the aim of attaining sustainedzero-pollution, zero-injury business operations.(1) BackgroundMiTAC International Corp. provides personal computer/server products includingworkstation, server, storage device, and mobile communications. Regarding theenvironmental plea of European Community, MiTAC has followed European directivesincluding WEEE (Directive on the Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment) with afocus on design for environment and with the concept of recycle, disassembly, andrecycling imports design, for example, energy supply design (applying ACPI operatingsystem for power-saving/low-power CPU / module design/ supporting IPMI softwareand optimized resources management) and ROHS (Restriction of HazardousSustenance Directive) with a focus on controlling the hazardous substances of Pb, Cd,Hg, Cr6+, PBBs, and PBDEs in green product management, introducing design &development review / suppliers management / material acceptance, constructinginternal Green Product Internet portal and SOP; also, initiating organizational strategyreview periodically in compliance with European directives. Construct an occupationalhealth and safety system to minimize occupational hazards and to protect employee’s-91-


health and safety; also, to save the relevant cost. The improvement of work conditionhas indeed helped improve employee’s occupational virtue and productivity at the sametime.(2) MiTAC’s environmental health and safety strategyMiTAC International has its environmental safety and health policy developedaccording to the aforementioned environmental protection concept and four conceptualphases:Cherish resources on earth: Respect the exclusivity of resources on earth, upgradeenergy utilization efficiency and advocate energy saving, reduce waste andpromote resources recycling and reuse. Improve environmental safety and health continuously: Substantiateenvironmental safety and health management system for continuous improvement,prevent pollution, realize clean production and product protection, and provideemployees with a safe and healthy working environment.Obey regulations: Obey the environmental health and safety law of thegovernment and commit to obey the related regulations, such as, Europeandirectives: RoHS, WEEE, and EuP.Develop Green Products: Develop, design, and produce Green Products that aredesigned for environment, provide products that are with low-pollution / energysaving, and recycling.We believe that all businesses have experienced the challenge of “on going concern”of an enterprise” on the way to their success. MiTAC had supported the ITDP of theMOEA since 2003 to develop lead-free and halogen-free system assembly procedureand technology through four stages of review and approval process. The developmentwas completed successfully in 2005. The process of internal quality system is dividedinto (a) Quality control system: Completed successfully the 3-year renewal of ISO9001:2000 and developed TL9000 management system on the foundation of ISO9001:2000; also, completed the quality certification of communications product at theend of 2005; (b) Environmental control system: Complete ISO 14001:2000 certificationand OHSAS 18001:1999 audit according to the schedule planned. The IECQQC080000 activity has been initiated in August this year to review the function of eachdepartment/responsible departments/main operation procedure according to IECQdirectives. Therefore, after the preliminary audit started, SGS notify body that isauthorized by IECQ in the United States for an audit had concluded positively afterauditing the operation of MITAC in September through three stages of process and thenthe audit for QC080000 (IECQ HSPM) was completed successfully on 12/7/2006. Weare dedicated to environmental protection effort and we wish to find a balance betweenbusiness development and ecosystem protection.Moreover, we understand the importance of the safety and health of employees to thebusiness development of the enterprise. Therefore, we spare no expense to provideemployees with a safe and comfortable working environment. MiTAC commits itself toprovide employees’ with a safe and healthy working environment, to maintain abalance between business development and environment protection, to obeyenvironmental protection requirements, to realize business development and ecosystemconservation, and to fulfill the social responsibility as a lawful enterprise and citizen onthe earth.MiTAC International’s environmental health and safety strategy [MiTACInternational vs. Earth Friendly Policy]-92-


One earth: MiTAC fellows are devoted to protect the one and only earth of ourstogether hand-in-hand.Two systems: Substantiate ISO14001+OHSAS18001 and protect environment all yearround.Three directives: follow RoHS+WEEE+EuP to save energy and recycle products.Four steps: PDCA leads and “Let’s go for” Green production!(3) Responsible policy to RoHSIn response to the requirement of RoHS, MiTAC will start to educate its suppliersthrough the implementation of “G Plan” of the MOEA. The RoHS compliance audit forClass-I suppliers will be conducted at theirs. For the request made to MiTAC by someof MiTAC’s suppliers regarding the RoHS process of its Class-II suppliers, the rawmaterial control process will help MiTAC reduce RoHS risk that is caused by thedesign change and material change of the up-stream suppliers.MiTAC has utilized the supply chain e-control to have the RoHS report system forsuppliers planned so suppliers will no longer troubled by the problem of multipleproducts, multiple production sites, and multiple contact windows; moreover, the dataexchange efficiency of RoHS is improved.MiTAC has an XRF SEA1000A agreement signed with How-My Electronics in <strong>2007</strong>,acquired ICP equipment, and setup laboratory so the Incoming Department can be surethat the components delivered by the suppliers are in compliance with RoHS.(4) Response to the impact of environmental protection directives from EuropeanCommunity on business operationMiTAC had completed the industrial technology development plan of the MOEA –the lead-free and halogen-free system assembly procedure and technology development;therefore, MiTAC is one of the enterprises retains lead-free process. A systematicmanagement process is applied to ensure the lead-free components supplied bysuppliers in compliance with RoHS; therefore, MiTAC is capable for green productproduction and with products shipped to Europe upon the request of customers.Therefore, the environmental protection directives from European Community do notaffect the business operation of MiTAC negatively.(5) MiTAC responds to the environmental protection directives from European CommunitySince the announcement and enforcement of WEEE in European Community, theenvironmental protection of electronics has shifted from self-declaration to clearlydefine recycle rate for product design. EuP design for environment directives will be setforth on 8/11/<strong>2007</strong>; therefore, DfE (Design for Environment)/Eco-design is recognizedby MiTAC as one of the design requirements. After building the EuP product-checkingcapability in last year, MiTAC is able to have the mechanical design of componentspreviewed in the online system according to the raw material and processing applied tounderstand whether the design comply with the design criteria of recycle andease-to-disassemble.(6) Measure to respond the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) issuePer the global warming issue that becomes more and more serious as time being, torespond the trend of controlling CO2 emission amount and reducing CO2 emitted toatmosphere in the future, MiTAC has initiated the CO2 amount checking operationsince Aug <strong>2007</strong>. The checking scope contains MiTAC production base in MainlandChina. By the assistance of Taiwan Inspection Technologies Co., the Companyperforms the introduction of checking CO2 gas emission amount and training programof interior inspectors as to follow ISO14064-1 to check CO2 emission amount and-93-


ecord the checking data; and build the interior documentation and certificationprocedure in response for reference while performing effective CO2 reduction practicelater. Meanwhile, the Company positively reduce CO2 emission amount and introducenew energy-saving plans, such as, introduce regeneration energy—solar energy,resource recycling, power saving—luminance management, air conditioningmanagement in summer time and etc., in the goal of reducing CO2 emission amount toatmosphere.As per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, MiTAC perform the tasks of certifying CO2emission amount and data collection. The Company regularly checks the CO2 emissionamount of last year. The interior check and certifying data of CO2 emission amount in<strong>2007</strong> are shown in below: Direct CO2 emission (scope 1): total CO2 emission amount are 7,076 metric tons per,about 12% of total CO2 emission amount. Indirect CO2 emission (scope 2): total CO2 emission amount are 53,702 metric tonsper year, about 88% of the total CO2 emission amount; mainly occurred from power& steam procured externally.MiTAC cares about the global climate change, dedicates to protect earth sourceand well fulfills the duty of being an enterprise citizen. We will consistently drive thecontrol of CO2 emission in the prospective of reducing operation cost and forcing onthe sustainable energy development made from resource efficiency, power saving,environment protection; and devotes to the goal of creating a low-CO2 economicsociety from industries.5. Labor/Management RelationsThe Company is an information technology company, and its staff is suitably composed.In order to pursue a business philosophy based on humane management principles, theCompany has actively sought to create various communication channels, and respects theviews of its employees.

It has also created a postoffice box, encouraging employees to provide their opinions and respond to problems.Each year, an employee meeting is held, better allowing employees to directlycommunicate with executive. In the hope that employee needs could be better met,every six months, departmental satisfaction surveys are conducted, as well as acomprehensive executive survey. At the end of each year, an employee satisfactionsurvey is conducted in order to ensure that employee concerns are understood.The Company has spared no effort to establish internal communication channels. Atpresent, the e-mail system is already in general use by employees, reducing paper wasteand a proliferation of reports – and increasing communication efficiency. At the sametime, the Company has created an internal “speak out mail box” e-mail address whereemployees can directly express their views. In addition, in consideration of employees,the Company invested more than NT$4 million to setup a videoconferencing system(Video Conference Room, VCR) linking offices in Hsinchu, Linkou, and Taipei,thereby reducing the need to travel between these locations for work purposes. Sincethis system was implemented, employees in Hsinchu, Linko, and Taipei can holdinter-office meetings without needing to leave their own offices, while the efficacy ofthe Company’s internal communications has been greatly enhanced.-94-


The Company has also implemented an electronic bulletin board to regularlypromulgate the Company’s business ideals, announce business performance, andpublish useful information form the outside world. In order to provide an effectiveencouragement to employees and enhance morale, the Company selected anoutstanding employee at the end of each year, and also honors senior employees whohave completed five, ten, fifteen, and twenty years of service. At the Company’s yearend weiya party, the chairman and General Manager present gold commemorativeplaques and monetary prizes.It is one of the Company’s main business units at the Hwa-ya Technology Park inTaoyuan. In order to care for the employees, a shuttle bus is provided to transport thembetween the Park and Taipei. At the location, a sufficient number of spaces in a parkinggarage are allotted to those employees driving to work. These measures are undertakento give employees a more convenient and comfortable working environment.(2) Benefits and training1) BenefitsThe Company considers its employees to be one of its most important assets.

The Group’ssignificant accounting policies are summarized below:1) Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statementsThe financial statements of subsidiaries in which the Company owns more than50% of the subsidiaries’ shares and controlled entities are included in consolidation.All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in theconsolidated financial statements.2) Translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiariesAssets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollarsusing the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated athistorical rates except for beginning retained earnings, which is carried forwardfrom prior year’s balance. Dividends are translated at the rates prevailing at the dateof declaration. Profit and loss accounts are translated at weighted-average rates ofthe year. The resulting translation differences are included in “cumulativetranslation adjustments” under stockholders’ equity.3) Foreign currency transactionsA.

Transactionsdenominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan dollars at thespot exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates.B. Receivables and other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreigncurrencies are translated at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balancesheet date. Exchange gains or losses are included in current results ofoperations.~112~


C. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, anyexchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in profit or loss.Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in equity,any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in equity.However, non-monetary items that are measured on a historical cost basis aretranslated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.4) Classification of current and non-current itemsA.Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets;otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized orconsumed, or are intended to be sold within the normal operating cycle;b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balancesheet date;d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents andthose that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelvemonths after the balance sheet date.B.Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as currentliabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:a) Liabilities arising from operating activities that are expected to be paid offwithin the normal operating cycle;b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheetdate;d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionallyto more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.5) Cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and other short-termhighly liquid investments which are readily convertible to known amount of cashand which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value resulting fromfluctuations in interest rates.6) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or lossA. Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss arerecognized and derecognized using trade date accounting and are recognizedinitially at fair value.B. These financial instruments are subsequently remeasured and stated at fairvalue, and the gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. The fair value oflisted stocks, OTC stocks and closed-end mutual funds is based on latestquoted fair prices of the accounting period. The fair value of open-end andbalanced mutual funds is based on the net asset value at the balance sheet date.~113~


C. When a derivative is an ineffective hedging instrument, it is initiallyrecognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and issubsequently remeasured at its fair value. If a derivative is a non-optionderivative, the fair value initially recognized is zero.7) Available-for-sale financial assetsA. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and derecognized using tradedate accounting and are initially stated at fair value plus transaction costs thatare directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.B. The financial assets are remeasured and stated at fair value, and the gain orloss is recognized in equity, until the financial asset is derecognized, at whichtime the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity shall berecognized in profit or loss. The fair values of listed stocks, OTC stocks andclosed-end mutual funds are based on latest quoted fair prices of theaccounting period. The fair values of open-end and balanced mutual fundsare based on the net asset value at the balance sheet date.C. If there is any objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired, thecumulative loss that had been recognized directly in equity shall be transferredfrom equity to profit or loss. When the fair value of an equity instrumentsubsequently increases, impairment losses recognized previously in profit orloss shall not be reversed. When the fair value of a debt instrumentsubsequently increases and the increase can be objectively related to an eventoccurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, theimpairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss recognized in profitor loss.8) Financial assets carried at costA. Investment in unquoted equity instruments is recognized or derecognized usingtrade date accounting and is stated initially at its fair value plus transactioncosts that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.B. If there is any objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired, theimpairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. Such impairment loss shall notbe reversed when the fair value of the asset subsequently increases.9) Derivative financial instruments for hedgingWhen the transactions qualify for all the conditions of applying hedge accounting,the resulting profit or loss is recognized by offsetting the changes in the fair valuesof hedging instrument and hedged items. When the transactions qualify as cash flowhedges, the effective portion of any gain or loss on remeasurement of the derivativefinancial instrument to fair value is recognized directly in equity.10) Accounts receivableAccounts receivable represents claims resulting from are sale of goods or services.The fair value of accounts receivable shall be calculated based on the imputedinterest rate. Accounts receivable which are collectible within one year, where thedifference between the fair value and the value at maturity is insignificant andtrading is also frequent, need not be measured at fair value.~114~


11) Allowance for doubtful accountsAllowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the collectibility of accounts,notes and other receivables.12) InventoriesA.Inventories of the Company are stated at standard cost, which is adjusted toactual cost at year-end.B.Inventories of the Company and its subsidiaries are valued at the lower of cost ormarket value at balance sheet date. The market value is based on thereplacement cost for raw materials and supplies and net realizable value forwork in process, finished goods and merchandise. Allowance for slow movingitems and decline in the market value is provided when necessary.13) Long-term equity investments accounted for under equity methodA. Long-term equity investments in which the Group holds more than 20% of theinvestee company’s voting shares or has the ability to exercise significantinfluence on the investee’s operational decisions are accounted for under theequity method. The excess of the initial investment cost over the acquired netasset value of the investee attributable to goodwill is no longer amortized,effective January 1, <strong>2007</strong>. Retrospective adjustment of the amount of goodwillamortized in previous year(s) is not required. The excess of acquired net assetvalue of investee over the initial investment cost is allocated proportionately andapplied as a reduction to the book values of identifiable non-current assets, andany remaining amount of such excess after this allocation is credited toextraordinary gains. However, negative goodwill acquired prior to December 31,2006 is continuously amortized.B. For investments accounted for under the equity method, the Companyrecognizes investment gains or losses by quarter. The unrealized profits andlosses from intercompany transactions between the Company and investeecompany during the current year shall be eliminated.C. Exchange differences arising from translation of the financial statements ofoverseas investee companies accounted for under the equity method arerecorded as “cumulative translation adjustments” under stockholders’ equity.14) Property, plant and equipmentA. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Interest incurred on loansused to finance the construction of property and plant is capitalized anddepreciated accordingly.B. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimateduseful lives. Residual values of fixed assets still in use at the end of theoriginal service lives are depreciated based on the newly estimated remainingservice lives of the assets. The useful lives of the fixed assets are 3 – 10 years,except for buildings, which are 3 - 55 years.C. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Significant renewals andimprovements are capitalized and depreciated accordingly.~115~


D. Idle assets are valued at the lower of book value or net realizable value (basedon the appraised value by a real estate appraisal company) and classified asother assets. Rental assets are valued at cost and classified as other assets;current depreciation is recorded as non-operating expense.15) Intangible assetsLand use rights are amortized on a straight-line method over 48~50 years.16) Deferred chargesA. Telephone installation expenditure is amortized on a straight-line method over 5years.B. Mold expenses are amortized on a straight-line method over 2 years.C. Issuance costs of bonds are deferred and amortized on a straight-line methodover the life of the bonds.D. Software cost is amortized on a straight-line method over 5 years.17) Impairment of non-financial assetsThe Group recognizes impairment loss when there is indication that the recoverableamount of an asset is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount is thehigher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The fair value less costs tosell is the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transactionafter deducting any direct incremental disposal costs. The value in use is the presentvalue of estimated future cash flows to be derived from continuing use of the assetand from its disposal at the end of its useful life. When the impairment no longerexists, the impairment loss recognized in prior years shall be recovered. Howeverimpairment loss of goodwill is not recoverable.18) Convertible bondsFor convertible bonds issued prior to and including December 31, 2005, inaccordance with the EITF 95-78 issued by the Accounting Research andDevelopment Foundation of the R.O.C., the Company elected not to bifurcate theembedded derivatives and accounted for those convertible bonds as follows:A. When bonds are converted, the par value of the bonds is credited to commonstock and any excess is credited to capital reserve. No gain or loss is recognizedon bond conversion.B. Expenditures incurred on issuance of convertible bonds are classified asdeferred assets and amortized over the life of the bonds. In cases where thebonds are converted or redeemed before the maturity date, the issuanceexpenditures are expensed in proportion to the amount of bonds converted orredeemed.~116~


19) Pension planUnder the defined benefit pension plan, net periodic pension costs are recognized inaccordance with the actuarial calculations. Net periodic pension costs includeservice cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and amortization ofunrecognized net transition obligation and gains or losses on plan assets.Unrecognized net transition obligation is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15years. Under the defined contribution pension plan, net periodic pension costs arerecognized as incurred.20) WarrantyWarranty is estimated based on historical experience. Service warranty expense isincluded in the current year's operating expense.21) Income taxA. Income taxes are allocated on the inter- and intra-period basis. Over or underprovision of prior years’ income tax liabilities is included in current year’sincome tax.B. Investment tax credits arising from expenditures incurred on acquisitions ofequipment or technology, research and development, employees training, andequity investments are recognized in the year the related expenditures areincurred.C. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and isrecorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retainthe earnings.22) Employee stock options (intrinsic value method)The employee stock options granted or amended on or after January 1, 2004 areaccounted for in accordance with EITF 92-072, “Accounting for Employee StockOptions”, prescribed by the R.O.C. Accounting Research and DevelopmentFoundation. Under the stock-based employee compensation plan, compensationcost is recognized using the intrinsic value method and pro forma disclosures on netincome and earnings per share is prepared under the fair value method.23) Revenues and expensesRevenues are recognized when the earning process is substantially completed andthey are realized or realizable. Costs and expenses are recognized as incurred.24) Treasury stockA. Treasury stock is stated at cost using the weighted-average method and isreported as a deduction under stockholders’ equity.B. Upon subsequent disposal of the treasury stock, the excess of the proceeds fromdisposal over the book value is credited to capital reserve. However, if the bookvalue of the treasury stock exceeds the proceeds from disposal, the excess isfirst charged against capital reserve and the remainder, if any, is charged againstretained earnings.~117~


C. The book value of treasury stock is determined by the weighted-averagemethod.D. When treasury stock is retired, the treasury stock account is credited and allcapital account balance related to the treasury shares, including capital reservefrom paid-in capital in excess of par are debited on a proportionate basis. Whenthe book value of treasury stock is higher than capital account balance,including additional paid-in capital in excess of par, the difference is debited tooffset against this capital reserve from treasury stock. However, when thebalance of this capital reserve account is insufficient to offset the difference,then the remaining amount should be charged against retained earnings. Whenthe book value of treasury stock is less than the capital account balance,including additional paid-in capital in excess of par, the difference is credited tocapital reserve from treasury stock.25) Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally acceptedaccounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions thataffect the amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assetsand liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenuesand expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from thoseassumptions and estimates.26) Business combinationThe Company adopted the R.O.C. SFAS No. 25, “Accounting for BusinessCombination - Purchase Method” to deal with business combination transaction.According to the R.O.C. SFAS No. 25, if the market value of equity securitiesissued for business combination could not represent the fair value of the dissolvedcompany’s net assets, the Company should evaluate the fair value of acquired netassets (including goodwill). The net amount of fair value of the acquired net assets,after deducting the face value of equity securities issued for business combinationand related costs, was recognized as capital reserve.

ecent years on the Company’s financial condition and business, and the Company’sresponsive measures:According to the order of ROC Accounting Research & Development Foundationissued in Mar <strong>2007</strong>, enterprises shall make employee bonus a regular expense ofcompany expenditure since 2008 rather than a earning distribution. This newregulation makes insignificant influence to MiTAC; the new-added expense is to bebalanced by elevating company’s operating efficiency.(6) Technology changes in the most recent year – Their influence on the Company’sfinances and sales, and the Company’s responses:1) Desktop computer:Due to rapid price declines and intense competition in computer hardwareproducts, profits are being squeezed despite growth in unit sales. The appropriateresponse is developing lower-cost products and speeds up their development,create product differentiation, and shorten the time needed to ramp-up to massproduction.The digital appliance products are new industry; yet, since they are directlyconnecting to consumable electronic products, the challenge is at high quality andlow price. To respond it, vendor shall develop products with even lower cost in theway of creating discrepancy to products and speeding up the R&D and massiveproduction of new products.2) Enterprise products:Due to the effects of an unfavorable economic environment, companies areinvesting less in technology. As a result, the revenues that a single new productcan contribute are correspondingly diminished. In addition, vendors are cuttingprices in order to obtain orders, putting pressure on profit margins. Therefore, agreater number of R&D workers must be assigned to a greater number ofdevelopment projects for new products in order to achieve the same level ofrevenues and profits. The advent of ultra-dense server products should increaseaverage per-unit prices and production value.3) Wireless communications products:Wireless communications products development is towards lower powerconsumption, integration of a greater range of functionality, and ever-faster speedsfor data communications. Product development is with a plea for light, thin, andcompact, fashionable ID design, integrated quality, and easy-to-use interface; also,combine advanced technology R&D for the development of wireless link,hand-free, and voice identification. MiTAC plans to integrate the wirelessbroadband technology into the hand-free device and with built-indual-communications design for the most popular online digital service. The R&Dand production of satellite navigation phone and smart phone that is with built-incamera will help MiTAC develop great market share and bring business and profitto the company.4) Channel server products:So far the mainboard market is getting mature and Taiwan’s production amountof mainboards share about 90% of global market demanding. Suppliers shall holdthe mainboard market and develop other new products concurrently. Such asFoxConn, Gigabyte and ASUS that have built R&D department to develop server,bare-bones and other products that threaten MiTAC’s current operation.~182~


Response: since servers are different to PC; the application environmentdifference between these two fields is big; although the market demanding amountof servers are less than PC product market, yet, the former one asks for higherquality level; shipments of some server mainboards are only 1,000~2,000 pieces orless and under customer-design model to develop and produce, which is relativelynon-profitable investment to a major mainboard manufacturer in Taiwan withmillions of mainboard shipments per month. MiTAC always focuses on the designof skill-oriented servers and workstation products; we follow market demandingand technological trend to launch new productlines for various applications andrequirements to fully meet OEM clients, system integration (SI) suppliers andsolution providers for high availability and high performance needs. The hightechnical demanding of server software management system becomes a thresholdand key factor for hardware producers regarding whether it can cut in the servermarket or not. At present suppliers who can pass through this threshold most areforeign vendors; for PC mainboard suppliers, it is relatively difficult to pass thistechnological threshold and enter the server mainboard market.MiTAC has worldwide famous OEM or ODM operating model, and plays acrucial role in server mainboard supplying market. We consistently launchcharacteristically leading products to market and master the server softwaremanagement system technologies. Moreover, MiTAC has expanded the productsand production skills to the applications of embedded computers and supercomputer; in the software integration, service supporting and design configurationaspects, and MiTAC uses complete integration idea to maintain competitioncapability in market.(6) The impact of changes in the Company’s image during recent years on its crisismanagement capabilities, and relevant responsive measures: None(7) Projected benefits and possible risks of acquisitions:MiTAC has merged Tyan Computer and so far is in the transition stage ofintegration adjustment. After this transition stage is over, we will be capable tointegrate the products of enterprise servers, high-end mainboards and bare-bonessystem products to provide customers multifunctional products, which is good forenhance MiTAC’s market competition capability; the merge effort will appeargradually.The risk of the merger with Tyan is on the business integration. We areconfidence that the business risk could be minimized with MiTAC’s years ofexperience in business and management.(8) Projected benefits and possible risks of factory expansion and relevant responsivemeasures: None(9) Risks faced in taking deliveries and making sales:Taking deliveries:Most deliveries taken are finished products provided by the Company’s Chinesesubsidiaries, and thus there are no administrative risks involved. MiTAC’ssubsidiaries in Mainland China are its processing factories; therefore, it is notnecessary to purchase finished goods from them. MiTAC expects no materialcontrol risk from the 100% wholly owned subsidiaries. MiTAC’s procurementpolicy is to maintain at least two suppliers and spread out the source of materialsupply; moreover, MiTAC has maintained a long-term relationship with allsuppliers to ensure a safe source of material supply.~183~


Sales:The Company is without concentration of revenues from a single customer, sothat there are no relevant risks in this area. MiTAC is free of a centralized practice;moreover, the sales ratio to each customer has been kept under 30% in the last threeyears. Based on the strong R&D and production capability, MiTAC has maintaineda long-term relationship with the existing customers; also, has striven to developnew customers in order to expand the source of customers. Therefore, MiTACexpects no risk from a centralized practice.(10) Impact and risks associated with large transfers or conversions of equity bydirectors, supervisors or major shareholders holding a stake in excess of 10%:MiTAC is aware of the major shareholders and the final controller of the majorshareholders; therefore, the holdings of the Directors, Supervisors, and the top tenshareholders are reported according to the Stock Exchange Law.(11) Impact and risks associated with a change in the Company’s ownership: None(12) Litigation and non-litigations disputes:In the most recent year and the present year to the publication date of this annualreport, the Company and the Company’s directors, supervisors, General Manager,Personnel-in-charge, major shareholders holding a stake in excess of 10%, and thesubsidiaries have not been involved in any litigation or non-litigious disputes thatmight have a significant impact on shareholder rights or stock prices, as defined inArticle 20, item 6, Part 12 in “Criteria Governing Information to be Published in<strong>Annual</strong> reports of Public Companies.”(13) Other important risks and responsive measures: None7.
