INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Edimax Technology Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Edimax Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

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 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 based on our audits and the reports of other auditors.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matter of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is stated as follows:

  • 37 -

Cut off of the Recognition Time of Sales Revenue

The Group's sales are recognized either FOB shipping point or FOB destination according to contracts with clients. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, ports were seriously clogged around the world, supply chains were broken down and shipping schedules were postponed for the year ended December 31, 2021. Although relevant controls are established, there is a risk that shipped goods may be in transit at the end of the reporting period and recorded as sales in the wrong period when control of goods was not transferred. Accordingly, we have concluded that cut-off of revenue recognition is a key audit matter.

The main audit procedures we performed to address the above key audit matter were as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the design of internal controls related to cut-off of revenue recognition and we tested the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  2. We selected samples of revenue recognized before and after the balance sheet date, and we checked the records against the sales documents such as purchase orders, invoices, external shipping documents and client receipts to assess the cut-off of revenue recognition.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of several subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group, but such statements were audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those subsidiaries, was based solely on the reports of other auditors. The total assets of those subsidiaries were $396,167 thousand and $424,341 thousand, which constituted 5.38% and 5.57% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and total revenues were $321,081 thousand and $352,461 thousand, which constituted 6.12% and 5.58% of consolidated total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In addition, the financial statements of associates included in the consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors. Thus, our opinion, insofar as it relates to the investments in associates accounted for using the equity method, the share of profit (loss) of the associates accounted for using the equity method, and the share of comprehensive income (loss) of the associates, was based solely on the reports of other auditors. Investments in associates accounted for using the equity method were $57,398 thousand and $62,155 thousand, which constituted 0.78% and 0.82% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively; the share of profit or loss of the associates was $13,759 thousand and $27,313 thousand, which constituted (25.42%) and 9.78% of the consolidated profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively; and the share of the other comprehensive income of associates accounted for using the equity method was $11,851 thousand and $23,301 thousand, which constituted (14.19%) and 12.01% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.

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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, 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 members of 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  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 Group’s internal control.

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

  4. 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 consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 39 -

  6. 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.

  7. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 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.

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Tza-Li Gung and Chih-Yuan Chen.

Attachment 7

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Edimax Technology Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Edimax Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 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 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 based on our audits and the reports of other auditors.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is stated as follows:

  • 47 -

Cut off of the Recognition Time of Sales Revenue

The Company's sales are recognized as FOB shipping point. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, ports were seriously clogged around the world, supply chains were broken down and shipping schedules were postponed for the year ended December 31, 2021. Although relevant controls are established, there is a risk that shipped goods may be in transit at the end of the reporting period and recorded as sales in the wrong period when control of goods was not transferred. Accordingly, we have concluded that cut-off of revenue recognition is a key audit matter.

The main audit procedures we performed to address the above key audit matter were as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the design of internal controls related to cut-off of revenue recognition and we tested the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  2. We selected samples of revenue recognized before and after the balance sheet date, and we checked the records against the sales documents such as purchase orders, invoices, external shipping documents and client receipts to assess the cut-off of revenue recognition.

Other Matter

As disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements, we did not audit the financial statements of several investees accounted for using the equity method included in the financial statements of the Company, but such statements were audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the investments and the share of profit (loss) of the investees accounted for using the equity method audited by other auditors, was based solely on the reports of the other auditors. The total investments in investees accounted for using the equity method were NT$331,241 thousand and NT$310,705 thousand, which constituted 5.97% and 5.65% of total assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the share of profit (loss) of the subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method was NT$33,839 thousand and NT$34,796 thousand, which constituted (61.49%) and 33.17% of the profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively; and the share of the other comprehensive income of the subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method was NT$22,462 thousand and NT$27,589 thousand, which constituted 32.95% and 37.62% of the total comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the 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 members of the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

  • 48 -

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.

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

  4. 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 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.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

  7. 49 -

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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 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.

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Tza-Li Gung and Chih-Yuan Chen.

Deloitte & Touche Taipei, Taiwan Republic of China March 11, 2022
