Independent Auditors' Report
Board of Directors of Acer Gadget Inc.,
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies for the years then ended. In our opinion, based on the audit results of the independent auditors and the audit report of other accountants, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 2024 consolidated financial statements of Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We determined that the key audit matters that shall be communicated in the report are as follows:
-
I. Revenue recognition
-
For the accounting policies related to income recognition, please refer to Note 4(15) income from customer contracts of the consolidated financial statements; for details of income recognition, please refer to Note 6(16) of the consolidated financial statements.
14
==> picture [595 x 41] intentionally omitted <==
Description of the key audit matter:
Customers of Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries are spread across different regions worldwide, and the sales to customers involve different types of transaction conditions. Sales income is required to be recognized through the identification of the timing when the control over products is transferred to customers based on individual sales conditions. There are risks that income nearing the balance sheet date may not be accurately recorded in the accurate period. Therefore, income recognition is one of the material matters for evaluation during our audit of the consolidated financial statements.
Responding audit procedures:
The principal audit procedures for the key audit matter above include testing the internal control related to the sales and collection cycle and the financial reporting of Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries, sampling of sales transactions in the period before and after the end of the annual reporting period to understand the transaction conditions between the Company and its customers, and sampling relevant transaction certificates to evaluate whether the timing of income recognition is appropriate.
II. Valuation of inventories
For the accounting policies related to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 4(8) inventory of the consolidated financial statements; for the description of uncertainties of the accounting estimates and assumptions of inventory valuation, please refer to Note 5(1) of the consolidated financial statements; for the provision for inventory valuation loss, please refer to Note 6(4). Description of the key audit matter:
Inventories of Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries are measured at costs or net realizable value, whichever is lower. The main sales products of the Company are innovative computer peripherals and smart life products. Its market competition is intense, and products may be obsolesce when not complying with the market demand, resulting in the possible involvement of the management’s subjective judgments for the estimate of the net realizable value of inventories and high uncertainties. Therefore, inventory valuation is one of the material matters for evaluation during our audit of the consolidated financial statements.
Responding audit procedures:
The principal audit procedures for the key audit matters above include understanding the inventory obsolescence valuation policy adopted by the management and evaluating its appropriateness, reviewing the inventory aging statement, analyzing the changes in the inventory age in each period, and testing whether the inventory is classified in the appropriate inventory age interval, evaluating whether the inventory valuation has been processed in accordance with the valuation policy of the Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Other Matter
Acer Gadget Inc. has prepared its 2024 and 2023 parent company only financial statements, and we have issued the auditor’s report with an unqualified opinion for future reference.
15
==> picture [595 x 41] intentionally omitted <==
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and to maintain Internal controls necessary for the preparation of financial statements to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing Acer Gadget Inc.’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries, or cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. However, the auditing conducted in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China cannot guarantee that it will be able to detect material misstatements in the consolidated financial statements. Misstatement can arise from fraud or error. If the individual or aggregate amount of the misstatement can reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by users of the consolidated financial statements, they are considered material.
We exercise professional skepticism during the audit in accordance with the auditing standards. We also performed the following tasks:
-
I. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
II. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries.
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
IV. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Acer Gadget Inc.’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
VI. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the parent company only financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
-
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
16
==> picture [595 x 41] intentionally omitted <==
timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit).
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable (including relevant protection measures).
From matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2024 consolidated financial statements of Acer Gadget Inc. and its subsidiaries and are, therefore, key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kao, Ching-Wen and Tang, Chia-Chien.

Independent Auditors' Report
Board of Directors of Acer Gadget Inc.,
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Parent Company Only Balance Sheet of Acer Gadget Inc. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the Parent Company Only Statement of Comprehensive Income, Parent Company Only Statement of Changes in Equity, Parent Company Only Statement of Cash Flows, and the Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies for the years then ended.
In our opinion, based on the audit results of the independent auditors and the audit report of other accountants, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Acer Gadget Inc. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for the Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements section of our report. We are independent of Acer Gadget Inc. in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 2024 parent company only financial statements of Acer Gadget Inc.. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We determined that the key audit matters that shall be communicated in the report are as follows:
I. Revenue recognition
For the accounting policies related to income recognition, please refer to Note 4(15) income from customer contracts of the parent company only financial statements; for disclosures of income, please refer to Note 6(17) of the parent company only financial statements. Description of the key audit matter:
Customers of Acer Gadget Inc. are spread across different regions worldwide, and the sales to customers involve different types of transaction conditions. Sales income is required to be recognized through the identification of the timing when the control over products is transferred to customers based on individual sales conditions. There are risks that income nearing the balance sheet date may not be accurately recorded in the accurate period. Therefore, income recognition is one of the material matters for evaluation during our audit of the parent company only financial statements of Acer Gadget Inc..
Responding audit procedures:
23
==> picture [598 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
The principal audit procedures for the key audit matter above include testing the internal control related to the sales and collection cycle and the financial reporting of Acer Gadget Inc., sampling of sales transactions in the period before and after the end of the annual reporting period to understand the transaction conditions between the Company and its customers, and sampling relevant transaction certificates to evaluate whether the timing of income recognition is appropriate.
- II. Valuation of inventories
For the accounting policies related to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 4(7) inventory of the parent company only financial statements; for the description of uncertainties of the accounting estimates and assumptions of inventory valuation, please refer to Note 5(1) of the parent company only financial statements; for the provision for inventory valuation loss, please refer to Note 6(4) of the parent company only financial statements.
Description of the key audit matter:
The inventory of Acer Gadget Inc. is measured at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. The main sales products of the Company are innovative computer peripherals and smart life products. Its market competition is intense, and products may be obsolesce when not complying with the market demand, resulting in the possible involvement of the management’s subjective judgments for the estimate of the net realizable value of inventories and high uncertainties. Therefore, inventory valuation is one of the material matters for evaluation during our audit of the parent company only financial statements. Responding audit procedures:
The principal audit procedures for the key audit matters above include understanding the inventory obsolescence valuation policy adopted by the management and evaluating its appropriateness, reviewing the inventory aging statement, analyzing the changes in the inventory age in each period, and testing whether the inventory is classified in the appropriate inventory age interval, evaluating whether the inventory valuation has been processed in accordance with the valuation policy of the Acer Gadget Inc..
Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The responsibility of the management is to prepare the fair parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and to maintain the necessary internal control related to the preparation of the parent company only financial statements to ensure that the parent company only financial statements are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error. In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing Acer Gadget Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Acer Gadget Inc., or cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Acer Gadget Inc..
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. However, the auditing conducted in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China cannot guarantee that it will be able to detect material misstatements in the parent company only financial statements. Misstatement can arise from fraud or error. If the individual or aggregate amount of the misstatement can reasonably expect to affect the economic decisions made by users of the parent company only financial statements, they are considered material.
We exercise professional skepticism during the audit in accordance with the auditing standards. We also performed the following tasks:
- I. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting
24
==> picture [598 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
II. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control Acer Gadget Inc..
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
IV. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Acer Gadget Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause Acer Gadget Inc. to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
VI. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of investees accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit).
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable (including relevant protection measures).
From matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2024 parent company only financial statements of Acer Gadget Inc. and are, therefore, key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kao, Ching-Wen and Tang, Chia-Chien.
