I. 2021 Business Report

Aurora Corporation 2021 Business Report

Dear shareholders,

Looking back to the year of 2021, due to the intensification of the local COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan since May, and the fact that the global supply chains did not resumed their normal operations due to the continued pandemic, the supply of key production factors such as raw materials and chips was under strain, which left an impact on the general economy, and also affected Aurora’s operation. Despite this, Aurora continued to improve its business operation and reduced the impact of external shocks; the overall profit in 2021 decreased slightly. We hereby present the 2021 Business Results and the 2022 Business Plan:

I. 2021 Business Results

(I) Business Results

For the fiscal year of 2021, the consolidated net revenue was NT$13,577,257 thousand and the net profit after tax attributed to the parent company was NT$1,391,539 thousand. The earnings per share after tax was NT$6.19. The comparison of profit or loss for the two fiscal years is as follows:

In terms of the consolidated financial structure, the current ratio was 152% and the

liability ratio (as a proportion of assets) was 51%. Both ratios were financially sound.

(II) Review of Operating Performance

Aurora's main operation performance in 2021 included:

  • Both OA and furniture businesses in Taiwan and mainland China have seen profitable growth.

2

  • Aurora Cloud Taiwan and National Taiwan Normal University jointly established the "Aurora Cloud AI Human Resources Laboratory" to assist companies in accurately recruiting talents.

  • The OA company in mainland China succeeded in expanding the A4 machine market and successfully grasped the trend of working from home, as the number of machine sold has seen continuous growth.

  • Aurora Furniture's "Activa lab" smart office laboratory opened in Shanghai, providing space solutions and smart experiences in five office operation modes, namely, concentration, collaboration, learning, social interaction, and relaxing.

II. Overview of the 2022 Business Plan and Future Development Strategies

  • (I) Prediction of Impact from External Competition and Overall Business Environment and Countermeasures

  • Major institutions, including the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, have all predicted that the overall domestic economy will maintain growth in 2022, but still, there are many uncertainties in the world. For example, in response to inflationary pressures, the monetary policies of numerous countries will enter a cycle of interest rate hikes and tightening, and concerns of regional military conflicts will also greatly increase political risks, which will affect the overall economic environment. Regardless of the performance of the external economy, Aurora will continue to improve its business operations and respond to every single challenge ahead. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted enterprises to accelerate digital transformation, and the wave of ESG sustainability has also pushed enterprises to accelerate low-carbon transformation, which are both opportunities for Aurora in terms of future development. To this end, we focus on the office space market, which is where we started, and combine tools and technologies such as big data, AI, and IoT to strengthen the digitalization and intelligence of our products, services, and solutions. We also integrate ESG concepts into our business processes and business models to help customers save energy and reduce carbon emissions, and create an environment-friendly, healthy, smart, and highly efficient office environment, thereby creating a difference between Aurora and its competitors within the industry, and continuously strengthening our overall competitiveness.

(II) Development Strategies for Each Segment

  1. OA: Committed to becoming a leader in general solutions for office space, providing our customers with an efficient, innovative and smart office environment.

  2. (1) Create an efficient office scene with a combination of printing equipment (A3/A4/PP machine, etc.) and solutions as the core.

3

  • (2) Create innovative service capabilities with IoT, cloud, and remote service platforms as the core.

  • (3) Create a smart conference solution with smart screen, cloud video conferencing, and conference central control system as the core.

  • (4) Create a zero-contact smart management platform centered on cloud human resources, body temperature measurement, face recognition, and AI interviews.

  • Furniture: Adhering to the belief of "Better work, better life" we strive to become the leader in high-end office space solutions.

  • (1) Combining Activa's smart office concept with the guidance of customer demands, Aurora develops trendy products and smart space solutions to provide customers with healthy and wonderful office experiences.

  • (2) Focus on our brand advantages, strengthen the competitiveness of direct sales, distribution sales, and e-commerce channels, accelerate the development of new products of medical and educational furniture, optimize the product mix, and expand the scale of operation, and eventually widen the gap with competitors.

  • (3) From product design and development, manufacturing, distribution, and assembly, the process integrates smart and environmentally friendly techniques and procedures. Aurora also cooperates with quality suppliers to exert synergy and create an industrial green ecological chain.

III. Conclusion

Despite the fact that Aurora is still in the adverse environment of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, we have still seen stable profit and accumulated an even more solid operating foundation, thanks to the support of our shareholders and the efforts of our colleagues. In recent years, ESG sustainability has become the standard of corporate management. Aurora's business philosophy is "Customer Satisfaction,Associate Contentment, Giving Back to Society, and Pursuing Sustainable Business." The philosophy has already included the comprehensive spirit of ESG sustainability. Looking forward to the year of 2022, Aurora will continue to engage in ESG forward-looking planning, formulate specific action plans and implement them, excel in creating higher value for our shareholders, customers, colleagues, and the society. We will fulfill our corporate social responsibilities, play a positive role of influence, and implement Aurora's business philosophy and ESG sustainability.

Independent Auditors' Report

To Aurora Corporation:

Opinions

Aurora Corporation's Parent Company Only Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, in addition to the Parent Company Only Statements of Comprehensive Income, Parent Company Only Statements of Changes in Equity, Parent Company Only Statements of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020, have been audited by the CPAs.

In our opinion, the Parent Company Only Financial Statements mentioned above have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers in all material aspects, and are considered to have reasonably expressed the parent company only financial conditions of Aurora Corporation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, as well as the parent company only financial performance and parent company only cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS). 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 Aurora Corporation in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China ("The Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. 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 Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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.

Key audit matters for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2021 are stated as follows:

Sales revenue and sales revenue of key subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method.

The main businesses of Aurora Corporation and its key subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method include the trade and lease of Multi-Functional Photocopiers (MFPs) and sales of system furniture. In particular, sales revenue from sales of system furniture in Taiwan and mainland China increased significantly in 2021 as compared to that in 2020; such increase in the overall impact to the financial statements is material. The main risk lies in whether revenue actually occurs. Accordingly, we identify the risk of revenue recognition arising from fraud as a

9

key audit matter in accordance with the Statements on Auditing Standards in relation to significant risk.

For the accounting policies related to revenue recognition, please refer to Note IV (XIV).

We understood and tested the effectiveness of the design and implementation of internal controls in the recognition of sales revenue. We have also selected appropriate samples from the sales details, reviewed the original contracts, documents and customs declaration forms from external forwarders or signed by customers to check whether the recipients are the trading parties, and reviewed whether there is a significant amount of return and allowance subsequent to the balance sheet date to confirm whether there is any material misstatement of sales revenue.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

To ensure that the Parent Company Only Financial Statements do not contain material misstatements caused by fraud or errors, the management is responsible for preparing prudent Parent Company Only Financial Statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for preparing and maintaining necessary internal control procedures pertaining to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.

In preparing the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, the management is responsible for assessing Aurora Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to the going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate Aurora Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing Aurora Corporation's financial reporting process.

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 misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and evaluate the risk of material misstatements due to fraud or error in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; design and carry out appropriate countermeasures for the evaluated risk; and obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for audit 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.

10

  1. Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 controls of Aurora Corporation.

  2. Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management, as well as the reasonableness of their accounting estimates and relevant disclosures.

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 Aurora Corporation's ability to operate as a going concern. If we conclude that a 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 Aurora Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. Evaluate the overall expression, structure and contents of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements (including relevant Notes), and whether the Parent Company Only Financial Statements fairly present relevant transactions and items.

  5. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Aurora Corporation to express an opinion on the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit and for expressing an opinion on the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation.

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 them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine the key audit matters of Aurora Corporation's Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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.

Independent Auditors' Report

To Aurora Corporation:

Opinions

Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries' Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, in addition to the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020, have been audited by the CPAs.

In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements mentioned above have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IAS), law and regulation reviews and their announcements recognized and announced by the Financial Supervisory Commission in all material aspects, and are considered to have reasonably expressed the consolidated financial conditions of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, as well as the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS). 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 Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China ("The Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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.

Key audit matters for the Consolidated Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2021 are stated as follows:

Sales revenue

The main businesses of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries include the trade and lease of Multi-Functional Photocopiers (MFPs) and sales of system furniture. In particular, sales revenue from sales of system furniture in Taiwan and mainland China increased significantly in 2021 as compared to that in 2020; such increase in the overall impact to the financial statements is material.

The main risk lies in whether revenue actually occurs. Accordingly, we identify the risk of

18

revenue recognition arising from fraud as a key audit matter in accordance with the Statements on Auditing Standards in relation to significant risk.

For the accounting policies related to revenue recognition, please refer to Note IV (XV).

We understood and tested the effectiveness of the design and implementation of internal controls in the recognition of sales revenue. We have also selected appropriate samples from the sales details, reviewed the original contracts, documents and customs declaration forms from external forwarders or signed by customers to check whether the recipients are the trading parties, and reviewed whether there is a significant amount of return and allowance subsequent to the balance sheet date to confirm whether there is any material misstatement of sales revenue.

Other Matters

We have also audited the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

To ensure that the Consolidated Financial Statements do not contain material misstatements caused by fraud or errors, the management is responsible for preparing prudent Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, as well as the IFRS, IAS, law and regulation reviews and their announcements recognized and announced by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for preparing and maintaining necessary internal control procedures pertaining to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the management is responsible for assessing Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries' ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to the going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries' financial reporting process.

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 misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and evaluate the risk of material misstatements due to fraud or error in the Consolidated Financial Statements; design and carry out appropriate countermeasures for the evaluated risk; and obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for their audit opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than

19

for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  1. Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 controls of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries.

  2. Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management, as well as the reasonableness of their accounting estimates and relevant disclosures.

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries' ability to operate as a going concern.

  4. If we conclude that a 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 Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall expression, structure and contents of the Consolidated Financial Statements (including relevant Notes), and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements fairly present relevant transactions and items.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit and for expressing an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries.

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 them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine the key audit matters of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries' Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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.
