Episil-Precision Inc. 2021 Annual Business Report

In 2021, we observed the structural change in semiconductor demands,
semiconductor content in electronic devices increased in various
emerging applications, such as 5G, EV, and green energy, etc.
Plus, supply chains disruption and port congestion due to COVID-
19 and political events resulted in chips shortage and inconsistent.
The global electronics market, including Consumer, Telecom,
Industrial and Automotive, etc., need the chips so bad, same situation
in Episil-Precision's silicon and compound (SiC & GaN) epitaxy field.
Customers' strong demands keep our utilization in high level
throughout the whole year. Episil-Precision's revenue increased by 25%
compared to last year, in which revenue in compound epitaxy grew
several times.

1. Implementation of 2021 business plan

Episil-Precision’s consolidated revenue for 2021 was NT$5,043
million, an increase of 25 % year-over-year. Net income after tax was
NT$380.53 million, and earnings per share was NT$1.35.
The consolidated operating performance of 2021 is as follows:
Unit:Thousand(TWD)
Items 2021 2020
Operating revenue 5,043,332 4,039,180
Operating margin 726,433 243,959
Net profit after tax 380,530 25,693
Earnings per share (Dollar(TWD) 1.35 0.09

2. 2022 strategy and business plan

WSTS estimates that the global semiconductor market will grow by
8.8% in 2022. Episil-Precision expects to grow in 2022 as well.
Regard to silicon epitaxy, we will continue to expand capacity,
as well as putting more efforts in the development of multi-
layer/buried layer epitaxy for Super-Junction MOSFETs to meet the
demands for higher efficiency in energy conversion market.
In terms of compound semiconductor epitaxy, Yole estimates that
SiC devices market will have 30% CAGR (2019-2025), driven by EV, PV
and industrial applications, while GaN devices market have 70% CAGR
(2019-2025), driven by fast charging for smart phones, data centers

10

and 5G base stations.
Episil-Precision had put a lot of time and efforts on compound
semiconductor epitaxy for the past decade, and become the only one
supplier in Taiwan that provides both SiC epitaxy and GaN epitaxy with
proven record in mass production. To catch up with the booming market
of compound semiconductor, Episil-Precision will invest US$40-50
million to expand SiC capacity (7~8 times) and GaN capacity (2~2.5
times) in the next 2 to 3 years.
Although semiconductor market is with unpredictable fluctuation,
we believe the needs for silicon and compound semiconductor epitaxy
will grow with the mega trend of energy saving and carbon reduction.
As Episil-Precision's core value "Efficiency, Precision, Innovation”,
we commit to provide more efficient services, more accurate quality
and more innovative processes/products to our customers, and to comply
with ESG requirements. We look forward to being a key supplier of
epitaxial materials in worldwide semiconductor industry in the coming
years, and bring profits to our shareholders.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR21000383

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Episil-Precision Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Episil-Precision Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, 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 Preparations of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAS”). 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 Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the these reguirments. 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 judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2021 consolidated financial statements. 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 for the Group’s 2021 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

Inventory valuation

Description

Please refer to Note 4(12) for description of accounting policy on inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 6(4) for description of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses. As of December 31, 2021, inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses amounted to NT$926,547 thousand and NT$58,087 thousand, respectively.

The Group primarily engages in research and development, manufacture and sales of silicon epitaxy wafers and compound semiconductor epitaxial wafers. The industry is characterised by rapidly evolving technology and is easily affected by fluctuation in market price, there is a higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or having obsolete inventory. The Group’s inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value, and the calculation of the net realisable value used in individually obsolete inventories or inventories which are over a certain period involves subjective judgement. Since abovementioned inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses are significant to the financial statements, we identified allowance for inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

For inventory valuation losses against inventories that are over a certain period or individually obsolete, we tailored the audit scope as follows:

  1. Obtained an understanding and assessed the reasonableness of Group’s policies and procedures related to the provision of allowance for inventory valuation losses and the identification of obsolete and slow-moving inventory.

~4~

14

  1. Verified whether the systematic logic used in the Group’s inventory aging report is appropriate and in accordance with the Group’s policies.

  2. Verified a sample of separately numbered inventory items against the clearance of those inventory items and respective historical data of discounts, and compared the sample to recorded allowance for inventory valuation losses to assess the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Episil-Precision Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

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 as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal controls as management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated 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 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 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 a report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an

~5~

15

audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, 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 controls.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 controls.

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

  6. 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.

~6~

16

We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s 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 controls 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 of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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 TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR21000382

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Episil-Precision Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Episil-Precision Inc. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 the Company as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company 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 audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAS”). 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 Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in 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 judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2021 parent company only financial statements. 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 for the Company’s 2021 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

~2~

24

Inventory valuation

Description

Please refer to Note 4(11) for description of accounting policy on inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 6(4) for description of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses. As of December 31, 2021, inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses amounted to NT$926,547 thousand and NT$58,087 thousand, respectively.

The Company primarily engages in research and development, manufacture and sales of silicon epitaxy wafers and compound semiconductor epitaxial wafer. The industry is characterised by rapidly evolving technology and is easily affected by fluctuation in market price, there is a higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or having obsolete inventory. The Company’s inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value, and the calculation of the net realisable value used in individually obsolete inventories or inventories which are over a certain period involves subjective judgement. Since abovementioned inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses are significant to the financial statements, we identified allowance for inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

For inventory valuation losses against inventories that are over a certain period or individually obsolete, we tailored the audit scope as follows:

  1. Obtained an understanding and assessed the reasonableness of Company’s policies and procedures related to the provision of allowance for inventory valuation losses and the identification of obsolete and slow-moving inventory.

  2. Verified whether the systematic logic used in the Company’s inventory aging report is appropriate and in accordance with the Company’s policies.

  3. Verified a sample of separately numbered inventory items against the clearance of those inventory items and respective historical data of discounts, and compared the sample to recorded allowance for inventory valuation losses to assess the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses.

~3~

25

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 controls as management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only 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 are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial

statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a 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 ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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

~4~

26

  1. Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 controls.

  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 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 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.

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 controls that we identify during our audit.

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

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