ENNOSTAR Inc. 2023 Business Report

In 2023, ENNOSTAR’s operations faced severe challenges due to a variety of factors. The global consumer market demand was affected by inflation, rising interest rates, industrial inventory adjustments, and plummeting customer demand. Additionally, war, geopolitics, and extreme climates also played a role. As a result, the Group’s consolidated revenue in 2023 was about NTD 22.31 billion, a decrease of 22.8% from that in 2022; the net operating loss was NTD 4.00 billion. In addition, the Group made a provision of impairment loss for goodwill and idle assets, and recognized profit or loss on reinvestment. The net loss attributable to the parent company’s owners in 2023 was NTD 6.78 billion, and the basic loss per share was NTD 9.02. Under the unsatisfactory macroeconomic environment and many challenges in overall operations, the Company actively and effectively manages cash flow and capital expenditures to maintain a healthy financial structure. At the same time, through optimization and integration of the Group organization and reorganization of various reinvestment businesses to improve operating efficiency, will enable the Group to battle with ease and face different challenges in the future.

One Ennostar strengthens resilience and accelerates the development of high-value-added markets

In the future, the Group will accelerate the pace of integration and transformation of the Group, enhance the strength of all-dimensional organizational transformation and strategic deployment, and exert the greatest synergy of the Group. In terms of organizational transformation, we have prioritized the integration of human resource units and financial units of all subsidiaries into the Group. The Company has also been successively promoting factory integration by reviewing the production performance of each factory. First, we will merge and optimize our three manufacturing bases in northern, central, and southern Taiwan, followed by the expansion of factories in Mainland China, and organizing various reinvestment businesses to achieve asset activation and utilization. We hope to “integrate” the “One Ennostar” spirit into the Group’s culture and create new values for the Group.

In terms of strategic layout, the Group will have two parallel strategies. The first is to create added value and give full play to the group’s advantages. The Group continues to develop products and technologies for automotive, advanced display, and smart sensors based on our

8

expertise in III-V compound semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) and so on, for optoelectronic products and pursue long-term profits through differentiation. Secondly, in order for the Group’s products and technologies to be competitive and meet the needs of different markets, the Group will actively deepen the upstream and downstream integration of the Group, expand the depth of technology, products, and services, and provide customers with one-stop solutions from epitaxy, die, packaging to modules. Effectively exploring new areas expanding revenue and increasing profits.

1. Automotive use

  • The Group has been deeply involved in the automotive field for many years and has combined the upstream and downstream supply chains to develop automotive lighting, automotive displays, and automotive sensors to present a complete automotive modular solution. Many of its products have been successfully adopted by major international OEMs and Tier 1 automotive suppliers for automotive lighting, ambient lighting, and ADB smart headlights. In recent years, the proportion of automotive revenue has continued to increase. With the development of EV new energy vehicles, the smart cockpit has become the focus of market attention. The immersive driving experience has attracted the attention of related technologies, especially Micro LED with a high penetration rate, high brightness, and flexible application in a small size space. The automotive display industry has greater potential, and the Group is actively cooperating with several customers in the introduction. In addition, vehicle safety has always been a prerequisite for the development of the Group’s forward-looking automotive technologies. As the intelligentization of vehicles is increasing day by day, the sensing applications required for vehicles are also increasing, such as Driving Monitoring Systems (DMS), Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS), gesture recognition, ranging, and lidar, among other applications, to improve the humanized riding experience and safe road environment.

  • Advanced display

The Group continues to invest in the research and development of advanced display technologies such as Mini LED and Micro LED, and is committed to helping customers improve the visual effect of their products. Currently, we are working closely with customers on a number of advanced display-related projects. Mini LED has now become one of the mainstream high-end display technologies, and new products of various international terminal brands continue to emerge. The Group has been deploying in the development of Micro LED for many years and has not only mastered advanced key technologies, but has also completed the construction of a trial production line. We

9

constantly promote the development of Micro LED with strategic partners, consolidate industry advantages, and prepare for mass production in the future.

  1. Smart sensing

  2. The Group has full-band solutions and industry-leading technical specifications that can be applied to a variety of scenarios, including biological health sensing, medical applications, and 1D/3D ranging for industrial and automotive applications. It has been adopted by many international leading brands. The Group is a leading manufacturer of shortwave infrared SWIR products and technology. SWIR has higher penetration for substances than NIR and is less susceptible to the influence of external light sources. With algorithms, it can achieve more sensing possibilities, such as industrial material analysis. sorting and freshness testing of fruits and vegetables. In addition, based on market trends and needs, the Group will also strengthen the deployment of sensing optical modules, improve the technical and service capabilities of solutions, and provide customers with one-stop procurement services, giving end products diversified possibilities.

  3. New areas

  4. In addition to the three major areas, the deployment of new areas is also an important development direction. The Group will start with its own business and combine the profound technical foundation accumulated over the years, the mastery of the optoelectronic product materials of the III-V compound semiconductor, and the advantages of the existing equipment, to actively develop high potential and high valueadded fields, such as The development of AI optical communication, solar cells for loworbit satellites, and other new applications which are continuing to enhance the tolerance of enterprises in the face of market fluctuations and make great strides toward high value-added applications.

ESG creates excellence and enriches the Group’s sustainability formula

The world is accelerating its net zero transformation. Since the Group’s establishment in 2021, it has clearly expressed its firm commitment to sustainability and excellence. The Group’s ESG goals, strategies, and implementations are directly supervised by the Group’s Board of Directors, demonstrating the importance and determination of the Group towards ESG. In 2023, the Group and its subsidiaries participated in the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA). The Group has won five key awards in the three years since its inception. The award is an affirmation and a reminder that the Group’s partners are still working on this arduous and long road of sustainability. It reminds everyone that the road to sustainability is endless and that we must work harder.

10

In response to the international trends in climate governance and the challenges posed by climate change, the Group has formulated a green power policy, aiming to achieve the goal of RE100 in non-production areas by 2030, and RE100 by the whole group by 2050; having signed on to the commitments of the “Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures” (TCFD) and the “Science Based Targets initiative” (SBTi), we are eager to adopt climate actions showing our determination to move towards net zero.

In addition, in order to become an accelerator for customers’ net zero carbon emissions and drive the sustainable growth of related suppliers, the Group also exerted its industry appeal and held annual supplier sustainability meetings for its subsidiaries to guide suppliers to building greenhouse gases inventory capability with its own sustainability experience. We have announced the absolute 20% carbon reduction and sustainability goal by 2030 striving to build a low-carbon supply chain.

The synergy of the Group’s cooperation to become a full-scale optoelectronic integrated solution provider

The global situation is changing rapidly. Only by properly adjusting its internal constitution can the entire organization maintain the agility to respond flexibly. Looking forward to 2024, we will accelerate the pace of group integration and transformation, continue to revitalize our assets, promote R&D technology and investment strategies with the greatest strength, accelerate the development of “three plus one” high value-added areas, and continue to expand into new areas and markets. The Group will bring its strong R&D capabilities and the synergy of its collaboration to become a provider of comprehensive optoelectronic integrated solutions. We will continue to work with all employees to create positive benefits for all stakeholders and jointly embrace the next peak growth for the Group.

The
Pricing
Basis
and
Reasonableness
1.
The price for issuing ordinary shares in the Proposed Private Placement was set to be the price determined
by the following calculation, whichever is higher. The reference price was NTD 57.57.
(1) The simple arithmetical average closing price of the ordinary shares of the Company on any of the first,
third or fifth trading days prior to the pricing date, after deducting the value of bonus shares issued as
stock dividends and cash dividends, and adding back the value of the shares canceled in connection with
capital reduction. These prices were NTD 49.45, NTD 50.38, and NTD 50.51. The average closing price,
NTD 50.51, of the fifth trading day prior to the pricing date was considered the basis price.
(2) The simple arithmetical average closing price, NTD 57.57, of the ordinary shares of the Company for thirty
trading days prior to the pricing date, after deducting the value of bonus shares issued as stock dividends
and cash dividends, and adding back the value of shares canceled in connection with capital reduction
was considered as the basis price.
2.
The price for issuing ordinary shares in the Proposed Private Placement shall not be lower than 80% of the
reference price. The actual private placement price, NTD 51.82, was 90% of the reference price abiding by
the resolution of the shareholder's meeting.

3.
The subscription price of this private placement should be reasonable based on the company's future
prospects, the fact that the timing, counterparties, and quantity of private placement securities are strictly
limited, no retrospective public offering within three years, poor liquidity, and other factors. It would have no
significant influence on the rights and benefits of shareholders.

for

Investors
The selection method is to have a good understanding of the Company's operation, and industrial development
and directlyor indirectlyto contribute benefit to the future operation of the Company.
Necessity
and
of
Private
Placement
If the strategic partners purchase the Company’s shares from the market, this action could not ease the Group’s
capital needs produced by the CAPEX for factory construction and production equipment. If the Company adopts
public placement, the Company should observe shares for employees and public subscription in accordance with
Article 267 of the Company Act and Article 28-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act. In addition, if the shares of
subscription reach 10% of total issued shares, the Company should lift the amount of cash capital increase to
overly exaggerate capital and ask existing shareholders to waive the subscription rights to allow the specific
counterparties to subscribe. The uncertainty goes higher. In contrast to public placement, the fact that private
placement of common stock has the advantage of quick and easy fundraising and the restriction of non-
transferability within three years will further ensure the long-term collaboration between the Company and the
counterparties, as well as the confidentiality of technology patents. Therefore, financing through this private
placement could increase the flexibilityof fundingsources.

The plan and execution of
private placement application
Our company will use all of its privately raised funds to fund the capital increase of EPISTAR Corporation, its 100%-
owned subsidiary (henceforth referred to as EPISTAR). The capital increase funds raised will be used by EPISTAR
solely for the Micro LED. 6-inch wafer fabrication facility, the purchase of crystallite and epitaxy process equipment,
and other project expenditures.
Our company had raised NT$1 billion in capital of Epitaxy as of December 31, 2023, with EPISTAR spending
NT$956,126 thousand on the abovementioned funds.
Benefits after private placement War, inflation, rising interest rates, adjustments to industrial inventories, and drastic drops in customer demand
have all had an impact on the global consumer market demand. Our company has had to make a minor adjustment
to the rate of production capacity construction due to a slight delay in the development of Micro LED technology
and the market demand schedule. The ultimate objective of completing micro LED mass production will remain
unaltered.

Report of independent accountants translated from Chinese.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

PWCR23000379

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ENNOSTAR Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ENNOSTAR Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 material accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors, as described in the other matters section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Financial Statement Auditing and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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 Accountants 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.

19

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.

Key audit matters in relation to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are outlined as follows:

Evaluation of Inventories

Description

Please refer to Note 4(14) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for the accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to inventory valuation, Note 6(6) for the explanations regarding inventory valuation. As of December 31, 2023, the balances of inventories and the allowance for valuation loss were NT$4,954,577 thousand and NT$738,085 thousand, respectively.

The Group is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of LED wafers, chips, packages and modules. Due to rapid technological developments, short product lifespans and frequent fluctuations of market prices, the risk of decline in market value and obsolescence for inventories is high. The Group evaluates net realized values for inventories which aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories in order to provide allowance for valuation loss. Since the identification of the above obsolete inventories and their respective net realizable values are subject to management’s judgment, it was identified as one of the key audit matters.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Obtained an understanding of the Group’s operations and the nature of its industry and interviewed with management to understand the probability of future sales for those out-ofdate inventories and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for valuation loss.

  2. Obtained and validated the accuracy of the detailed listings of inventories aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories. Validated information of historical sales and discounts for those obsolete inventories to assess the reasonableness of policies in providing allowance for inventory valuation loss.

20

Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and goodwill

Description

Please refer to Note 4(21) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on impairment of non-financial assets, Note 5(2) for the accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to non-financial assets valuation, Note 6(11) for the explanations regarding nonfinancial assets impairment. The subsidiary of the Company, Epistar Corporation, and its subsidiaries measure the recoverable amounts of idle property, plant, and equipment at fair value less disposal costs; while operating property, plant, and equipment, as well as goodwill, are assessed at their in-use values. Epistar Corporation and its subsidiaries evaluate impairment of property, plant, and equipment, as well as goodwill, based on the aforementioned recoverable amounts. The assessment of the in-use value of property, plant, and equipment, as well as goodwill, involves estimating future cash flows and determining discount rates. The assumptions used in forecasting future cash flows and their estimated results have a significant impact on the assessment of the in-use value of property, plant, and equipment, as well as goodwill. Therefore, we consider this a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We obtained an external expert appraisal report provided by the subsidiary, Epistar Corporation, and its subsidiaries, for the idle property, plant, and equipment. We assessed the valuation method used by the expert and the reasonableness of the fair value. Additionally, for the recoverable amounts of operating property, plant, and equipment, as well as goodwill, the main procedures performed are outlined as follows:

  1. Discussing with management to understand the subsidiary, Epistar Corporation, and its subsidiaries’ process for estimating future cash flows, and comparing future cash flows with the operational plan approved by the board of directors for consistency.

  2. Discussing the operational plan with management to understand its product strategy and execution status.

  3. Assessing the reasonableness of the assumptions used by management to estimate future cash flows, including expected growth rates and gross profit margins. Also, evaluating the reasonableness of discount rate parameters, including the risk-free rate of return used in calculating the cost of equity capital, industry risk coefficients, and long-term market returns.

Other matter – Audit by Other Independent Auditors

We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements and the information on the consolidated subsidiaries disclosed in

21

Note 13 was based solely on the reports of other independent auditors. Total assets of those consolidated subsidiaries amounted to NT$258,619 thousand and NT$268,634 thousand, constituting 0.40% and 0.37% of the consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and total operating revenues were both NT$0 thousand for the years then ended, constituting 0% of the consolidated total operating revenues as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Furthermore, we did not audit the 2023 and 2022 financial statements of certain equity investments accounted for using equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors whose reports thereon were furnished to us and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and certain information disclosed in Note 13 relative to these investments, is based solely on the reports of the other independent auditors. These equity investments amounted to NT$2,372,148 thousand and NT$1,781,200 thousand, representing 3.70% and 2.44% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and their comprehensive loss (including share of loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method and share of other comprehensive (loss)/income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method) amounted to NT$280,066 thousand and NT$144,437 thousand, representing 3.69% and 40.08% of the consolidated comprehensive income (loss) for the years then ended.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have also expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of ENNOSTAR Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

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.

22

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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 auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial

23

statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  1. 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 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.

24

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 auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ENNOSTAR Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of ENNOSTAR Inc. (the “Company’’)as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 parent company only financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors, as described in the other matters section of our report, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated only 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 audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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 Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance

33

with the 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 parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters in relation to the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are outlined as follows:

Investments accounted for using equity method-evaluation of inventories

Description

The subsidiaries of the Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of LED wafers, chips, packages and modules. Due to rapid technological developments, short product lifespans and frequent fluctuations of market prices, the risk of decline in market value and obsolescence for inventories is high. The subsidiaries of the Company evaluates net realized values for inventories which aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories in order to provide allowance for valuation loss. Since the identification of the above obsolete inventories and their respective net realizable values are subject to management’s judgment, it was identified as one of the key audit matters.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Obtained an understanding of the Company and subsidiaries’s operations and the nature of its industry and interviewed with management to understand the probability of future sales for those out-of-date inventories and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for valuation loss.

34

  1. Obtained and validated the accuracy of the detailed listings of inventories aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories. Validated information of historical sales and discounts for those obsolete inventories to assess the reasonableness of policies in providing allowance for inventory valuation loss.

Investments accounted for using equity method-impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and goodwill Description

The subsidiary of the Company, Epistar Corporation, and its subsidiaries measure the recoverable amounts of idle property, plant, and equipment at fair value less disposal costs; while operating property, plant, and equipment, as well as goodwill, are assessed at their in-use values. Epistar Corporation and its subsidiaries evaluate impairment of property, plant, and equipment, as well as goodwill, based on the aforementioned recoverable amounts. The assessment of the in-use value of property, plant, and equipment, as well as goodwill, involves estimating future cash flows and determining discount rates. The assumptions used in forecasting future cash flows and their estimated results have a significant impact on the assessment of the in-use value of property, plant, and equipment, as well as goodwill. Therefore, we consider this a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We obtained an external expert appraisal report provided by the subsidiary, Epistar Corporation, and its subsidiaries, for the idle property, plant, and equipment. We assessed the valuation method used by the expert and the reasonableness of the fair value. Additionally, for the recoverable amounts of operating property, plant, and equipment, as well as goodwill, the main procedures performed are outlined as follows:

  1. Discussing with management to understand the subsidiary, Epistar Corporation, and its subsidiaries’ process for estimating future cash flows, and comparing future cash flows with the operational plan approved by the board of directors for consistency.

  2. Discussing the operational plan with management to understand its product strategy

35

and execution status.

  1. Assessing the reasonableness of the assumptions used by management to estimate future cash flows, including expected growth rates and gross profit margins. Also, evaluating the reasonableness of discount rate parameters, including the risk-free rate of return used in calculating the cost of equity capital, industry risk coefficients, and long-term market returns.

Other matter – Audit by Other Independent Auditors

We did not audit the 2023 and 2022 financial statements of certain equity investments accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors, whose reports thereon were furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the parent company only financial statements and certain information disclosed in Note 13 relative to these investments, was based solely on the reports of the other independent auditors. These equity investments amounted to NT$2,630,767 thousand and NT$2,049,834 thousand, constituting 5.53% and 3.75% of the parent company only total assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and their comprehensive loss (including share of loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method and share of other comprehensive income/(loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method) amounted to NT$270,050 thousand and NT$139,085 thousand, constituting 3.84% and 67.06% of the parent company only comprehensive gain for the years then ended.

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 the parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

36

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.

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

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

37

collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  1. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

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

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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 auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

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

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

38

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.
