Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
ASUSTek COMPUTER INC.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ASUSTek COMPUTER INC. and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in
stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the 2010 financial statements of certain
consolidated subsidiaries and certain long-term equity investments accounted for under the equity method,
which statements reflect total assets amounting to $34,108,817,000 (including the long-term equity
investments amounting to $22,353,615,000), constituting 16.81% of consolidated total assets as of
December 31, 2010, total operating revenues amounting to $128,983,343,000, constituting 30.01% of
consolidated total operating revenues for the year then ended, and the related consolidated investment
income amounting to $1,110,908,000 for the year then ended. Those financial statements were audited
by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures in
Note 11(2) relative to these consolidated subsidiaries and long-term equity investments, is based solely on
the reports of the other auditors. The consolidated financial statements of ASUSTek COMPUTER INC.
and its subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose
report dated March 5, 2010, expressed a modified unqualified opinion on the consolidated financial
statements as the financial statements of certain subsidiaries and certain long-term equity investments
accounted for under the equity method were audited by other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of
Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the
Republic of China. Those standards and rules require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
