In the post-epidemic era in 2023, confronted with global high inflation, the FED continued to maintain a high interest rate to suppress inflation, and the global capital expenditure was comprehensively depressed under such environment, having an indirect impact on recovery of the tool industry. Fortunately, as of November 2023, the capital market expected that the U.S. Federal Reserve has completed this cycle of raising interest rate. At present, the world is waiting with bated breath, and it’s expected that the fall of the inflation data and the return of expansion of manufacturing capital expenditure demand could bring the opportunity of the next industrial recovery for the tool machine industry.
The management team of AWEA has always been following a dedicated attitude and
7
making all-round preparation, and we believe that this year, with the continuous support of all you shareholders, we have the confidence to overcome all kinds of adverse internal and external factors, so as to make the Company continue to grow steadily in the sluggish environment, to repay you shareholders’ trust in the management team of AWEA. Thanks again to all shareholders for your support and recognition. At last, I wish all of you:
A good health, and all the best wishes for you!

Appendix 1
Independent Auditors’ Report
To AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd.:
Audit Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd., as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only 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 parent company only financial position of AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years then ended, and its individual financial performance and its individual cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers based on our audit results and the audit reports of other certified public accountants (CPAs) (refer to the section of “Other matters”).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in 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 Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We are convinced that we have acquired enough and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis of audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 of AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
18
not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s individual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:
Revenue recognition
The main source of revenue for AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd. is the sales of machining centers. In 2023, the recognized revenue was NT$1,301,851 thousand, which accounted for about 83% of the total operating revenue. Since the sales locations include Taiwan, Mainland China, Italy and the United States, the sales terms vary by customers, the risks of ownership and the time of compensation transfer shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the customer’s orders or contracts, and the time and amount of revenue recognition can have a significant impact on the financial statements. Therefore, we have identified revenue recognition as one of the key audit matters.
For the accounting policies related to revenue recognition, please refer to Note IV to the parent company only financial statements.
We evaluated the reasonableness of the sales revenue recognition, performed the cut-off point test, and performed internal control tests to understand the design and implementation of the sales revenue recognition process and the related control system of AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd. In addition, we conducted related control tests on the sales and collection cycles, sampled and checked the sales contracts to confirm the correctness of the information in the accounting system, performed reconciliations between the general ledger system and the sales system, and assessed whether the time of revenue recognition was in accordance with the relevant reporting regulations.
Evaluation of inventories
AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd. mainly engages in the design, manufacture and sales of special machines, automation equipment and computer-controlled tool machines. As of December 31, 2023, the total inventories, allowance for market value decline and loss on obsolete and slow-moving inventories were NT$1,365,995 thousand and NT$356,980 thousand, respectively. Inventories of AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd. are measured at cost and net realizable value. Allowance for market value decline and loss on obsolete and slow-moving inventories are allocated for inventories aged over a certain period of time or individually identified as obsolete. Due to the intense competition in the spare parts market and the varying speeds of obsolescence of different products, the risks of loss on decline in the market value or obsolete inventories are
19
relatively high. The net realizable values used for obsolete inventories and their evaluation usually involve subjective judgment and are therefore highly uncertain. Considering the significant impact of inventories and their allowance for market value decline and loss on obsolete and slow-moving inventories on financial statements, we have identified allowance for market value decline and loss on obsolete and slow-moving inventories as one of the key audit matters.
For the accounting policies related to inventories, please refer to Note IV to the parent company only financial statements; for significant accounting estimates and assumptions used in the evaluation of inventories, please refer to Note V to the parent company only financial statements. We understood, evaluated, and tested the design and implementation of the internal control system related to inventory management, obtained the evaluation data on the lower of cost or net realizable value of inventories compiled by management authority, sampled and estimated the selling price information to the most recent sales records, and assessed the basis of management authority’s estimate of net realizable value and its reasonableness; obtained an inventory aging statement, and assessed the appropriateness of the policy on provision for allowance for market value decline and loss on obsolete and slow-moving inventories.
Other Matters - References to the Audits of Other CPAs
In the above parent company only financial statements, the financial statements of YAMA SEIKI USA, INC. and Huahan Leasing Co., Ltd., which are investments accounted for using equity method, were not audited by us, but were audited by other CPAs entrusted by the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the balances of investments accounted for using equity method were NT$116,713 thousand and NT$109,850 thousand, respectively, which both accounted for 2% of the Company’s total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method were NT$7,178 thousand and NT$7,782 thousand, respectively, which accounted for 3% and 2% of the Company's net profit before tax, respectively.
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
20
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd.’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 AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd.’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 auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatement may arise from fraud or error. Misstatements 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
I. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Therefore, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the one resulting from error.
-
II. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd.’s internal control.
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management level.
21
-
IV. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd.’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 AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including relevant notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
VI. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investee company accounted for using equity method to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of such investee company. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion on the parent company only financial statements.
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 AWEA Mechantronic Co., Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2023 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.

When distributing distributable earnings, the Company shall set aside special reserves that shall not be distributed in the following manner:

-
(2) For the net deduction of other equities accumulated in the previous period, the special reserve shall be excluded from distribution in one of the following ways:
-
A. Set aside special reserve of the same amount from undistributed earnings of the previous period.
-
B. Set aside special reserve of the same amount from undistributed earnings of the previous period, if it is still insufficient, it shall be set aside from the amount of net profit after tax of the current period plus items other than the net profit after tax of the current period included in undistributed earnings of the current period.
-
(3) If the Company has set aside special reserve according to the preceding paragraph, it shall set aside special reserve for the difference between the amount already set aside and the amount ought to be set aside as special
50
reserve in the preceding two items. If the net deductions of other shareholders’ equity are reversed, special surplus reserve shall be reversed from the reversed portion to distribute earnings.

When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders’ meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting; it is therefore advisable that the Company avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals. |

| A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company 2 days before the date of the shareholders’ meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent. After shareholders exercise their voting rights in writing or by electronic means, if they wish to attend the shareholders’ meeting in person or by video conference, they shall serve a declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph two days before the shareholders’ meeting in the same manner in which the voting rights were exercised; otherwise the voting rights exercised in writing or by electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders’ meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail. 15. Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chairperson, provided that the monitoring personnel shall be a shareholder of the Company. The voting results shall be reported on the spot, and shall be recorded. 16. When the meeting is in progress, the chairperson may call a break at his discretion. 17. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chairperson or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS. When a shareholders’ meeting is convened by video conference, after the chairperson declares the voting closed, the votes shall be counted at one go, and the voting and election results shall be announced. If a video-assisted shareholders’ meeting is convened, the shareholders, solicitors or entrusted agents who have registered to attend the shareholders’ meeting by video conference as per these measures, intend to attend the physical shareholders’ meeting in person, shall rescind the registration in the same manner as the registration two days before the shareholders’ meeting, otherwise they can only attend the shareholders’ meeting by video conference. If a shareholder attending a Shareholders’ Meeting via video has exercised voting rights in writing or electronically and has not canceled its intention, it shall not exercise voting rights again on, or propose any amendment to, the former proposal or exercise voting rights on such amendment, except for extempore motion. 18. When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chairperson shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required. 19. The chairperson may direct the proctors (or security personnel) to help maintain order at the meeting place. |
