INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR22000642
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of AVISION INC.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AVISION INC. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended 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.
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 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.
~5~
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:
-
Discussed the estimation procedures of future cash flows with the management and obtained an understanding on the Group’s product strategy and execution status.
-
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.
~6~
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:
-
Assessed the consistency of provision policies and reasonableness of procedures used for allowance for inventory valuation loss.
-
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.
-
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.
~7~
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following key audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Discussed with the management the events or conditions that affected going concern assumption and its response plan.
-
Assessed the feasibility of the management’s response plan and the result of improving financial position.
-
Obtained the reasonableness of cash flow projections for the next 12 months which were prepared by the management, including:
-
(1) Assessed the reasonableness of various assumptions in the forecasted financial information used by the management;
-
(2) Inquired the terms of the borrowing contracts and ascertained there were no defaults resulting in unexpected cash outflows;
-
(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.
-
Obtained and reviewed the management’s response plan and the declaration issued for feasibility of the plan.
-
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.
~8~
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:
- 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
~9~
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.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
~10~
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.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements
are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
~20~
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary
~21~
are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

E. Significant restrictions: None.
~23~
- F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: The non-controlling interest is small.
(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in currency, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
-
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
-
(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate or joint arrangement, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the
~24~
Company retains partial interest in the former foreign associate or joint arrangement after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, or losing joint control of the former joint arrangement, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
-
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
(6) Cash equivalents
- Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Company has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value. The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established,
~25~
future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(8) Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(9) Impairment of financial assets
-
For financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(10) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.
(11) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated based on the standard cost. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(12) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
~26~
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
-
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings and structures 04 ~ 51 years Machinery and equipment 03 ~ 10 years Transportation equipment 04 ~ 06 years Office equipment 04 ~ 06 years Other equipment 03 ~ 06 years
(13) Leasing arrangements (lessee) - right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
-
A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of lowvalue assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable. The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
-
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability. The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
(14) Intangible assets
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 to 10 years.
(15) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there
~27~
is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
(16) Borrowings
Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and short-term loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
- (17) Notes and accounts payable
Accounts payable and bills are payable in the normal course of business for picking up goods or services from suppliers and sales obligation measure. The short-term accounts receivable that may be unpaid news, because the impact of discounting is not significant, the original issued bills will be used later amount to measure.
- (18) Provisions
Provisions are contingent liabilities from warranties and are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
(19) Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
- (a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
(b) Defined benefit plans
- i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of
~28~
pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Company uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
- ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
-
C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
- Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, after taking into account the effects of ex-rights and ex-dividends, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the fair value per share at the day before the shareholders’ meeting held in the year following the financial reporting year.
-
(20) Employee share based payment
-
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and nonvesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
-
(21) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws substantively enacted at the balance sheet date where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts
~29~
expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the parent company only balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates that have been substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(22) Share capital
-
A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
-
B. Where the Group repurchases the Group’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Group’s equity holders.
(23) Dividends
- Dividends are recorded in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Group’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(24) Revenue recognition
-
A. Sales of goods
-
(a) The Company manufactures and sells multi-function peripherals, document scanners, network
~30~
peripherals and related products. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.
-
(b) The Group’s obligation to provide a repair for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.
-
(c) A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
B. Service revenue
-
(a) The Group provides product maintenance services or design services. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is determined based on the actual labour hours spent relative to the total expected labour hours. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
-
(b) The Group’s estimate about revenue, costs and progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is subject to a revision whenever there is a change in circumstances. Any increase or decrease in revenue or costs due to an estimate revision is reflected in profit or loss during the period when the management become aware of the changes in circumstances.
(25) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

(26) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Group’s chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
5. Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.
As of December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets was $675,672.
(2) Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss
- Due to the rapid technology innovation and the paperless trend in the market for development of environmental protection, energy saving and carbon reduction, inventories of the Group have a higher risk of incurring loss on decline in market value or obsolescence. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The management must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates.
As of December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of inventories was $776,193.

(10) Pensions
-
A. (a) The Group has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Labor Standards Act. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Group would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company will make contributions for the deficit by next March.

The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Group is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142.

(e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
| Year ended December 31 | Year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | |
| Discount rate | 1.30% | 0.70% |
| Future salary increases | 4.00% | 4.00% |
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on the 6th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table for the years ended December 31, 2022.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows :

(1) Countermeasures to improve operating and financial condition
The Company incurred losses of NT$32,399 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the accumulated deficit balance amounted to NT$924,847 thousand. However, due to the deficit in recent years, the Company intends to implement the following measures to improve the Company’s operations and financial condition :
A. Actively developing business
Under the technical support of our existing products, the Company actively developed new customers and product cooperation projects and will endeavour to continually increase our shipments in the future, in order to bring growth momentum to our future operations.
~58~
B. Adjust operation strategies
Optimize the purchasing and producing process, calculate the minimum production volumes to reduce excessive raw material purchases through integrating orders for the same products, actively closeout inventory and increase inventory turnover.
-
C. Capital financing plan
-
(a) The Company has been maintaining good credit relationships with correspondent banks and based on the history record and experience, the Company will actively apply for renewal of existing financing limit from financial institutions. Additionally, the Company pledged the property as collateral to obtain new financing limits in order to make the capital movement flexibly.
-
(b) Obtained financing limits from non-financial institutions through negotiating to increase the space for capital movement.
-
(c) On March 23, 2023, the Board of Directors resolved to issue ordinary shares to raise the capital.
D. Assets revitalization
The Company makes more effective utilization (including the possibility of leasing or selling) of the Company’s existing tangible assets, such as, land, factories and premises (including three plants in Hsinchu and Suzhou). Additionally, the Company negotiated for selling patent-related intellectual property rights and other intangible assets or collecting royalties from the aforementioned intangible assets. For the reinvestment, the Company is also actively seeking for counterparties to dispose of its shareholdings in order to obtain cash inflows. The Company has disposed part of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income to obtain cash inflows.
The Company assesses that the implementation of the above countermeasures will effectively improve its operations and financial condition and that there is no significant uncertainty regarding events or circumstances that may cause significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
(2) Capital management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2021, was to maintain the gearing ratio within 50%.

C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
-
(a) Market risk
Exchange rate risk
-
i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries used in various functional currency, primarily with respect to the USD, EUR, JPY and RMB. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.
-
ii. Management has set up a policy to require companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The companies are required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Company treasury. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
-
iii. The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Group’s and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other subsidiaries’ functional currency: USD and RMB).

Price risk
-
i. The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
-
ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise shares issued by the domestic companies. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $9,719 and $13,658, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
-
i. The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. During 2022 and 2021, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in New Taiwan dollars and US Dollars.
-
ii. The Group’s borrowings are measured at amortised cost. The borrowings are periodically contractually repriced and to that extent are also exposed to the risk of future changes in market interest rates.
-
iii. If the borrowing interest rate had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased/decreased by $7,065 and $4,459, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result in floating-rate borrowings.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable, other receivables and guarantee deposits paid based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of bank deposits.
-
ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire Group’s concern. According to the Group’s credit policy, the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
~64~
-
iii. In line with credit risk management procedure, when the counterparty’s contract payments are past due over 365 days, the default has occurred.
-
iv. The Group adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, if the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
v. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:
-
(i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation due to their financial difficulties;
-
(ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
-
(iii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;
-
(iv) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.
-
vi. The Group classifies customer’s accounts receivable in accordance with credit rating of customer. The Group applies the modified approach using a provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss.
-
vii. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights.
-
viii. The Group used the forecastability of Taiwan Institute of Economic Research boom observation report to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable (including related parties). On December 31, 2022 and 2021, the provision matrix is as follows:
| At December 31, 2022 Not past due Up to 30 days 31~90 days 91~180 days 181~270 days 271~360 days Over 360 days |

(4) Fair value information
-
A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks, beneficiary certificate is included in Level 1.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Other than those equity investments
~67~
without active market whose fair value are included in level 2, the fair value of equity investments without active market are included in Level 3.
-
B. The carrying amounts of cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term and short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables and lease liabilities are approximate to their fair values.
-
C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
-

(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows
: -
i. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the balance sheet date.
-
ii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
-
iii. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes
~68~
adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
- D. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:
| Equity instrument | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| At January 1,2022 | $ | 136,583 |

-
F. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.
-
G. Treasury segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by frequently calibrating valuation model and updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value
