Independent Auditors Report
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC. as of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income, of changes in
stockholders equity and of cash flows for the years 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 audits. We did not audit the financial
statements of certain investee companies accounted for under the equity method. These
long-term equity investments amounted to $23,641,780,000 and $22,868,192,000 as of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the investments with credit balances amounted to
$409,559,000 and $793,962,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the
related net investment income (loss) amounted to $1,817,402,000 and ($9,735,000) for the
years then ended, respectively. The financial statements of these investee companies 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 financial statements and
information disclosed relative to these investee companies, is based solely on the reports of
other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and
Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted
auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards 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 audits and
the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
