  • Please make a resolution.

Resolution:

  • Case 3: (Proposed by the Board of Directors)

  • Proposal: Proposal for the Company to perform private placement with issuance of common shares.

  • Explanation: 1. In response to changes in the overall operating environment in the future, the Company is enriching its working capital for its future development funding needs. It also examines factors such as the timeliness, convenience, issuance cost and equity stability

5

of the cost of capital and simulates market conditions and the Company’s funding needs. At the appropriate time, the Company issues 20,000,000 ordinary shares through private placement, which is explained as follows according to Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act:

  • (I) Basis and rationality of pricing:

The price of the private placement is determined based on the simple arithmetic mean of the closing price of ordinary shares 1, 3 or 5 business days before the pricing date, minus the free allotment and plus the stock price after the capital reduction as the reference price, or the simple arithmetic mean of the closing price of ordinary shares 30 business days before the pricing date, minus the stock and cash dividends and plus the stock price after the capital reduction; the higher of the two will be the reference price. For the subscription price for this private placement of ordinary shares, it is proposed to request the shareholders’ meeting to authorize the board of directors to, in accordance with the regulations above, set the private placement price at no less than 80% of the reference price. If the actual price is not lower than the percentage determined by the shareholders’ meeting, it is proposed to request the shareholders’ meeting to authorize the board of directors to negotiate with specific individuals and determine the price based on market conditions. The price is set by reference to the current situation of the Company and the recent market price of the Company’s stock price. The set price should be reasonable.

  • (II) Reasons and rationale if the private placement price is below the face value:

According to current laws and the aforementioned pricing method, the price of this private placement may be lower than the face value. However, in accordance with Article 43-8 of the Securities and Exchange Act, there is a 3-year restriction on the free transfer of shares issued through private placement. Therefore, it is still reasonable if the price of this private placement is lower than the face value.

6

If such a situation occurs, the impact on shareholder equity will be the cumulative loss caused by the difference between the actual private placement price and the face value, which will be eliminated based on the Company’s future operating status.

  • (III) Method for selection of specific individuals:

  • A. Handled in accordance with Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

  • B. If the subscriber is a strategic investor:

    1. Selection method and purpose: on the premise of not causing significant changes in the Company’s future management rights, choose individuals or legal entities who can help the Company improve its technology, develop products, or strengthen customer relationships.

    2. Necessity and expected benefits: Enhancing the Company’s competitiveness and operational effectiveness through its advantages in experience, technology, knowledge, etc.

  • C. If the subscriber is a company insider or related party:

    1. List of possible subscribers and relationship with the Company: (1) Sheng Shao-Lan/Chairman (2) Lo Hsiu-Chun/Chairman’s spouse (3) Chen Yen-Cheng/Director (4) Wu Yung-Chuan/Director (5) Chou Chung-Li/Vice President (6) Kuo Chen/Vice President (7) Gotoda Katsuhiko/Vice-President.

    2. Selection method and purpose: priority is given to those who have a clear understanding of the Company’s operations and can directly or indirectly benefit its future operations.

    3. If the subscriber is a legal person shareholder or a top-ten shareholder in terms of shareholding ratio, the relationship with the Company: not applicable.

  • (IV) Necessity for the private placement:

    1. Reason for not adopting public offering: the Company still needs the injection of working capital

7

and it may not be easy to obtain the required funds in a short time only through public offering. Therefore, it is proposed to raise funds from specific persons through private placement to quickly inject the required funds. In addition, the fact that the board of directors is authorized to handle private placement based on actual needs also effectively improves the mobility and flexibility of fundraising.

  1. This private placement is expected to be divided into one or two instalments; regardless of the number of instalments, the total number of shares to be issued is limited to 20,000,000 shares.

  2. Application of funds: the funds from each instalment is to enrich the working capital, or to meet the funding needs of the Company’s future development.

  3. Expected benefits to be achieved: the expected benefit to be achieved from each instalment is the strengthening of the Company’s financial structure, and improvement of the Company’s operating effectiveness and overall competitiveness.

  4. (V) If it is expected that the private placement installment cannot be completed before the deadline or if there is no plan to continue the private placement installments within the remaining period, but the original plan is still feasible, then it is deemed that the funds for private placement of securities have been fully received.

  5. (VI) Rights and obligations of the private placement securities: according to the Securities and Exchange Act, the ordinary shares of the private placement shall not be freely transferred for a period of 3 years from the delivery date. After 3 years from the delivery date, the Company plans to apply with the competent authority for listing and trading of the securities in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Securities and Exchange Act. Other than the provisions above, the rights and obligations of the ordinary shares in this private placement are the same as those of the

8

Company’s issued ordinary shares.

  • (VII) For the private placement securities, it is proposed that the shareholders’ meeting fully authorizes the board of directors to handle related matters within 1 year from the date of resolution of the shareholders’ meeting.

  • (VIII) Regarding the main content of this private placement plan, other than the percentage of private placement, if there is any change due to amendments to relevant laws and regulations or due to the objective environment, it is proposed that the shareholders’ meeting authorizes the board of directors to make amendments according to the situation of the current market.

  • Please make a resolution.

Attachments 1: Business Report

Avision Inc. 2022 Business Report

The consolidated operating revenue of the Company in 2022 was NT$2,832,440 thousand, an increase of 0.15% from that in 2021, and the total comprehensive income for the current period was a loss of NT$59,931 thousand, a decrease of 50% from the loss of NT$206,550 thousand in 2021. This is mainly due to the positive market response to the Company’s high-speed document scanner and self-developed printer, as well as the proper control and management of operating expenses which results in a decrease in non-operating expenses.

The 2022 operation overview is as follows:

  • (I) Market Overview:

  • Although the global impact of COVID-19 gradually reduced in 2022, the Company’s high-speed document scanner received a positive market response. However, China did not officially deblock its cities until the beginning of 2023 and there are still variables in the impact and its aftermath on the market. In the first quarter of 2023, there will still be an impact from the Chinese market and better sales results may be expected after the second quarter.

  • (II) Overview of Production and Sales:

Avision still has two production sites in Hsinchu, Taiwan and Suzhou of mainland China in 2022. The Suzhou Plant, in particular, is the main production site for printer products. Meanwhile, in light of the macro-environmental changes and market demand increase, the Company is gradually increasing the production ratio of the Hsinchu Plant. In terms of sales, various new high-speed document scanners have been launched one after another and the sales volume and amount have started to rise. Avision’s printers have been sold in mainland China market according to the original plan. Although sales have grown, they are still affected by the pandemic and the purchase time of some customers has been delayed, and the actual sales in mainland China throughout the year are still different from the original target. According to the current customer demand information, the printer business has gradually returned to the track of sales growth.

  • (III) Overview of Research and Development:

  • Besides constant innovations and advancement in technologies, throughout 2022, Avision spared no efforts in developing high-speed and color laser printers and copiers. Its staff will also work all out to put R&D resources in sales as soon as possible to make the Company’s performance more splendid.

  • (IV) Financial overview: Please refer to the financial statements attached to this manual.

Attachment 4: Execution of the Company’s Capital Increase and Operating Improvement Plan

Avision Inc.

Execution of the Company’s capital increase and operating improvement plan (shareholders’ meeting)

  • I. Handled in accordance with the letter of the Financial Supervisory Commission dated November 15, 2022 referenced Jin-Guan-Cheng-Fa No. 1110357814.

  • II. Summary of operation improvement plan:

  • The office equipment market has undergone a major transformation in the COVID-19 pandemic period. Avision’s main production base and sales market are in mainland China while marketing in the global market, and the main unfavorable factors and countermeasures in the future are as follows:

    • (1) Competitors are all international giants

      • Response measures: The Company continues investing in R&D and innovation. In addition to focusing on the market of laser multi-functional business machines, we have developed products with faster output and higher convenience and work closely with customers to develop products to meet customized needs. The Company’s self-developed printer control chip can not only improve product differentiation such as intelligent copying, but also provide customized services for enterprises, in order to distinguish the product level and improve market competitiveness, and expand market share.
    • (2) Labor shortage and rising wages in China

      • Response measures: The Company will improve its degree of automation in response to the continuous increase in wages and erosion of gross profit in China. Our R&D personnel will actively engage in product research and technological innovation, and continuously improve processes and equipment, in order to save labor costs and maintain the market advantage and competitiveness.
  • Development strategy:

    • (1) Increasing the market share in the Chinese market through local production and partnership, well managing risks, and exploring the local printer market in mainland China. Currently, XC has been shortlisted as a printer manufacturer in mainland China

13

but is unable to develop high-end products in the short term; if there is such a demand, it will do so in the form of OEM. New products developed by Avision in the future will be marketed under its own brand in priority. If there is a demand for XC in the market, Avision with the domestic chip advantage will have a good bargaining chip.

  • (2) Deeply cultivating customer relationships and establishing “partnerships” in their respective regions and seeking strategic alliances; building more effective sales teams and channels in the post-pandemic period in Europe and the United States, and actively developing customers and markets to create good sales results. Quickly promote the A1 and Rabbit III self-branded printers to Europe, the United States and Taiwan to reduce dependence on the mainland China market.

  • (3) Apart from Europe and the United States, developing new markets and new customers to diversify regional risks.

  • (4) Actively establishing distribution channels in various regions, expanding sales channels, manage supply chains and delivering products on time to meet customer needs. In addition to the XC printer market, state-owned enterprises and institutions in various parts of China also have various printer demands. For these price-oriented bidding projects, Avision competes with foreign companies in the capacity of a manufacturer. The Eagle and Rabbit III series are competitive and the own-brand sales in mainland China will mainly focus on these two series of products.

  • (5) Allying with channel distributors to stimulate self-help copying business.

  • (6) Better managing corporate assets and liabilities to more efficiently utilize assets.

Net income before tax (36,600) (99,028) 62,428 (63.04%)
  1. The slowdown of COVID-19 had a favorable influence on sales in the first three quarters and the global sales revenue grew. Especially in the first half of the year, printers which were driven by China’s localization policy had a remarkable growth rate. In the second half of the year, due to the delayed introduction of the purchase catalog by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, the organizer of the original purchase plan in China postponed the purchase till December and the overall sales declined significantly, affecting the growth momentum of the whole year; however, the annual sales still reached the expected level.

  2. Avision is not focusing on OEM, but emphasizes continuous investment in new products. To meet the potential demand in the post-pandemic era and strengthen the quality of key products. the R&D expenses are still higher than expected; in addition, a provision was made for bad debts in the fourth quarter, resulting in an impairment of about NT$30 million that was not estimated in advance. Operating expenses increased by 10.32% compared with the estimated amount.

  3. Under the efforts of investing in R&D expenses and focusing more on sales mix with a goal to sell high-margin products, the operating profit has reached the estimated amount with the growth of sales revenue, as the pandemic situation gradually slows down; efforts need to be made further to achieve the goal of profit and loss balance.

Attachment 5. Execution of the Company’s Private Placement of Ordinary Shares

  1. The Company executed the private placement of securities according to the resolution of the board meeting on May 5, 2022, and the shareholders’ meeting also approved on June 15, 2022 a capital increase in cash with the issuance of 20,000,000 ordinary shares through private placement.

  2. The purpose of the funds is to replenish the working capital, repay bank loans or meet the capital demand for future development, in order to strengthen the financial structure, and improve the operation outcome and overall competitiveness of the Company.

  3. On June 15, 2022, the board meeting approved the private placement price of NT$8.736 per share; on June 29, 2022, a total of NT$32,995,872 was paid in full for 3,777,000 ordinary shares.

  4. The private placement funds were fully used to enrich the working capital in the third quarter of 2022 as planned after being fully collected.

  5. According to Article 6 of the Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities, the Company has entered information related to the private placement securities in the private placement section of the MOPS.

  6. For the remaining amount for this private placement case, due to the inability to obtain suitable subscribers, the board meeting on March 23, 2023 decided not to continue with the private placement plan.

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 the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

~18~

The key audit matters in relation to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:

Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets

Description

The Group’s property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets amounted to NT$675,672 thousand as at December 31, 2022. Please refer to Note 5(1) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty related to impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets and Notes 6(5) and 6(6) for details of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets. The Group determined the recoverable amounts of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets at the higher of the value in use and fair value less costs of disposal and assessed whether there was any impairment on property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets utilising the recoverable amounts. Given that the assessment of value in use of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets involves the estimation of future cash flows and determination of discount rates and the assumptions used to forecast future cash flows and determination of discount rates have significant influence on the estimation results of value in use of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, we consider the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Discussed the estimation procedures of future cash flows with the management and obtained an understanding on the Group’s product strategy and execution status.

  2. Assessed the reasonableness of various assumptions used by the management to estimate future cash flows, including the expected growth rate and gross margin; and assessed the parameters used for discount rates, including the risk-free return rate, industry’s risk coefficient and long-term market return rate that were used to calculate cost of equity.

~19~

Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss

Description

The Group mainly manufactures and sells multi-function peripherals, document scanners and network peripherals. Due to the rapid technology innovation and the paperless trend in the market for development of environmental protection, energy saving and carbon reduction, these inventories have a higher risk of incurring loss on decline in market value or obsolescence. Please refer to Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty related to assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss and Note 6(4) for details of inventories. Inventories of the Group are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Given that the amount and items of the Group’s inventories are significant and numerous and the management must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates, we consider the assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Assessed the consistency of provision policies and reasonableness of procedures used for allowance for inventory valuation loss.

  2. Verified the accuracy of logic in inventory aging reports to ascertain whether the inventories aged over a certain period had been included in the report.

  3. Reviewed the appropriateness of estimation basis used for net realisable value of inventories and discussed and verified the supporting documents obtained from the management to assess the reasonableness of allowance for valuation loss determined by the management.

Assessment of going concern assumption

Description

The Company had a deficit of NT$32,399 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the accumulated deficit as at December 31, 2022 was NT$924,847 thousand. As described in Note 12(1), the management of the Company had taken necessary measures to ascertain the Company can continue to operate in the future and gradually improve financial position.

Given that the aforementioned measures have significant influence on financial position of the Company within the next year, we consider the assessment of going concern assumption a key audit matter.

~20~

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Discussed with the management the events or conditions that affected going concern assumption and its response plan.

  2. Assessed the feasibility of the management’s response plan and the result of improving financial position.

  3. Obtained the reasonableness of cash flow projections for the next 12 months which were prepared by the management, including:

  4. (1) Assessed the reasonableness of various assumptions in the forecasted financial information used by the management;

  5. (2) Inquired the terms of the borrowing contracts and ascertained there were no defaults resulting in unexpected cash outflows;

  6. (3) Reviewed the existing financing contracts and ascertained the credit periods and unused facilities. In addition, reviewed the contracts newly added after the balance sheet date to ascertain whether the financing facilities and periods are sufficient to cover working capital for the next 12 months.

  7. Obtained and reviewed the management’s response plan and the declaration issued for feasibility of the plan.

  8. Assessed the appropriateness of notes to the financial statement disclosed by the management.

Others parent company only financial statements statements

We have audited and express an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of AVISION INC. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

~21~

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’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 the Group 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 the Group’s 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 misstatement, 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 Standards on Auditing of 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 consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standard on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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

~22~

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.

  1. 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 Group’s internal control.

  2. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  3. 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 Group’s ability to continue 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 the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. 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.

  5. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the 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 company 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 them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

~23~

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the 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.

Attachment 7.Independent Auditors’ Report and 2022 individual financial statements

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR22000641

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of AVISION INC.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of AVISION INC. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing 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 the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

~32~

The key audit matters in relation to the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:

Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets

Description

The Company’s property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets amounted to NT$378,001 thousand as at December 31, 2022. Please refer to Note 5(1) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty related to impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets and Notes 6(6) and 6(7) for details of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets. The Company determined the recoverable amounts of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets at the higher of the value in use and fair value less costs of disposal and assessed whether there was any impairment on property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets utilising the recoverable amounts. Given that the assessment of value in use of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets involves the estimation of future cash flows and determination of discount rates and the assumptions used to forecast future cash flows and determination of discount rates have significant influence on the estimation results of value in use of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, we consider the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Discussed the estimation procedures of future cash flows with the management and obtained an understanding on the Company’s product strategy and execution status.

  2. Assessed the reasonableness of various assumptions used by the management to estimate future cash flows, including the expected growth rate and gross margin; and assessed the parameters used for discount rates, including the risk-free return rate, industry’s risk coefficient and long-term market return rate that were used to calculate cost of equity.

~33~

Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss

Description

The Company mainly manufactures and sells multi-function peripherals, document scanners and network peripherals. Due to the rapid technology innovation and the paperless trend in the market for development of environmental protection, energy saving and carbon reduction, these inventories have a higher risk of incurring loss on decline in market value or obsolescence. Please refer to Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty related to assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss and Note 6(4) for details of inventories. Inventories of the Company are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Given that the amount and items of the Company’s inventories are significant and numerous and the management must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates, we consider the assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Assessed the consistency of provision policies and reasonableness of procedures used for allowance for inventory valuation loss.

  2. Verified the accuracy of logic in inventory aging reports to ascertain whether the inventories aged over a certain period had been included in the report.

  3. Reviewed the appropriateness of estimation basis used for net realisable value of inventories and discussed and verified the supporting documents obtained from the management to assess the reasonableness of allowance for valuation loss determined by the management.

Assessment of going concern assumption

Description

The Company had a deficit of NT$32,399 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the accumulated deficit as at December 31, 2022 was NT$924,847 thousand. As described in Note 12(1), the management of the Company had taken necessary measures to ascertain the Company can continue to operate in the future and gradually improve financial position.

Given that the aforementioned measures have significant influence on financial position of the Company

~34~

within the next year, we consider the assessment of going concern assumption a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following key audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Discussed with the management the events or conditions that affected going concern assumption and its response plan.

  2. Assessed the feasibility of the management’s response plan and the result of improving financial position.

  3. Obtained the reasonableness of cash flow projections for the next 12 months which were prepared by the management, including:

  4. (1) Assessed the reasonableness of various assumptions in the forecasted financial information used by the management;

  5. (2) Inquired the terms of the borrowing contracts and ascertained there were no defaults resulting in unexpected cash outflows;

  6. (3) Reviewed the existing financing contracts and ascertained the credit periods and unused facilities. In addition, reviewed the contracts newly added after the balance sheet date to ascertain whether the financing facilities and periods are sufficient to cover working capital for the next 12 months.

  7. Obtained and reviewed the management’s response plan and the declaration issued for feasibility of the plan.

  8. Assessed the appropriateness of notes to the financial statement disclosed by the management.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

~35~

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 the Company 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 the Company’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 misstatement, 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 Standards on Auditing of 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 parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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 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.

  2. 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 Company’s internal control.

~36~

  1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  2. 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 Company’s ability to continue 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 the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  3. 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.

  4. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company 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 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 those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the 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,

~37~

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.
