G-TECH Optoelectronics Corporation 2020 Business Report
I. Business Implementation Outcome
G-TECH Optoelectronics is a professional glass processing manufacturer with comprehensive glass processing technologies capable of satisfying the demands of different markets. The product lines and technology level keep up with the time. The Company faces competition in various individual technical fields such as glass cutting, thinning, reinforcement, coating, 3D formation and bonding and lamination; nevertheless, the Company owns integrated services and is also equipped with collaborative advantages for crossing the barriers of different markets of consumer electronics, industrial control, automotive appearance and smart building glass.
In recent years, consumer electronics have entered a late growth period. Once products lose innovativeness, revolutionary technologies or even remarkable application services, the smartphone market will face a plateau period within the next few years. Accordingly, it can be understood that the strong future demand and growth of glass processing will mainly come from industries other than smartphones, such as vehicles, green buildings and new coating applications and products, and this will be the direction of the Company’s product development. Under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for antibacterial glass continues to increase. The Company will also invest in the development of antibacterial glass with the utilization of nanotechnology coating on glass in order to achieve antibacterial effects.
In 2020, the Company has completed 2 major BOT projects in New Taipei City, and such benchmark building targets have also established the strength of the Company in the international development of the construction industry. As for the electrochromic glass integrating optoelectronic technology and building glass processing techniques, its application in smart windows has been able to increase the coloration efficiency and significantly reduce the impact of color difference of large curtain wall coloration. In addition to increasing the outstanding quality of green buildings, its development has been further extended to the sunroofs of smart vehicles. Furthermore, in regards to the development of smart vehicle 3D glass technology, the 3D large-size full lamination manufacturing technology has advanced toward high curvature, glossy and matte joint surfaces and planar three-dimensional variations; these technologies can simultaneously be realized in a single sheet of 3D glass, so that full lamination injection processes can be performed on curved surfaces. Moreover, high-standard automotive certification has also been achieved through a quality system to jointly develop integrated non-
- 14 -
planar glass vehicle interior products with customers, including central control systems, display and touch control applications, and curved or multi-curved decorative panels. This can satisfy the design needs for durable protective glass and lightweight design for touch control applications due to the simplification of human-machine interfaces for vehicle electronization, thereby achieving integrated products that satisfy the demands for more innovative applications.
Under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the trade war between the U.S. and China in 2020, the industry has faced great challenges and undergone a transformation. Nevertheless, the Company remains committed to the development of the core technologies related to glass processing and continues to focus on the observation and understanding of market information in order to enhance research and development with early investment in resources. In addition, the Company also engages in extensive collaboration with both upstream and downstream customers in order to adjust production lines, product development and company resource investments in accordance with market trends and dynamics. With the preparation and implementation of relevant responsive measures, the Company aims to properly understand market demands and to seize profitable business opportunities. Presently, the Company has successfully received the recognition from auto manufacturers in 3D formation glass applications, and in the future business opportunities from smart vehicles that are in the process of replacing traditional vehicles will certainly generate revenue for the Company. The Company expects to see significant growth in numerous automotive glass applications, including vehicle dashboards, central control consoles, multimedia panels and rear view mirrors, etc.

For the investment property, the accounting procedure adopts the standard of IAS 40, and the fair value model is selected for the adoption. Subsequent fair value change is reorganized as current profit/loss. Since the Company uses the recommendation of external real estate appraiser report as the basis for the evaluation of the investment property fair value, the neighborhood rental market prices referenced and financial information related to the investment property rental provided by the Company for the execution of the appraisal procedure may involve to the material determination and estimation. Accordingly, in case of any inappropriate evaluation of the fair value change may result in misstatement of the financial statements. Accordingly, the investment property fair value evaluation is identified as a key audit matter for the execution of the audit of the financial statements of the Company. Corresponding Audit Procedures:
-
Assess the professionality, objectiveness and experience of the real estate appraiser retained
-
20 -
by the Company to be in charge of the fair value measurement.
-
Verify the rationality of the material assumptions and critical termination adopted in its appraisal report, and review the lease agreements and comparison with relevant market information, in order to determine whether the future cash flow, income and discount rate have been handled according to the requirements.
-
Verify appraisal report and relevant accounting records in order to determine the accuracy of accounting procedures.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Unconsolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the unconsolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for necessary internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of unconsolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the unconsolidated financial statements, the responsibilities of the management also include 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 Unconsolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the unconsolidated 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 in the unconsolidated financial statements. Misstatement can 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 the unconsolidated 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:
-
Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error, design and adopt appropriate countermeasures for the risks assessed, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidences in order to be used as the basis for the opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain a necessary understanding of internal control concerning the inspection in order to design appropriate inspection procedures that are appropriate for the time being. The purpose, however, is not to effectively express opinions on the internal control of the Company.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
-
21 -
estimates and related disclosures made by the management level.
-
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 ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In case where we consider that such events or circumstances have a material uncertainty, then relevant disclosure of the unconsolidated financial statements are required to be provided in our audit report to allow users of unconsolidated financial statements to be aware of such events or circumstances, 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.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the unconsolidated financial statements, including relevant notes, and whether the unconsolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of investees under equity method, and expressing an opinion on unconsolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the Company. 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 have also provided the governance body with a declaration of independence stating that all relevant personnel of the accounting firm have complied with auditors' professional ethics of the R.O.C., and communicated with the governance body on all matters that may affect the auditor's independence (including protection measures).
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significant in the audit of the Company’s 2020 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation preclude 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 audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Zong Zhe, Chen and Shu Ying, Chang.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the R.O.C. and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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. Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements are states as follows:
-
I. Revenue Recognition
-
Please refer to Note 4(15) of the consolidated financial statements for detailed accounting policy on income recognition. Please refer to Note 6(18) of the consolidated financial statements for detailed descriptions on the income recognition.
Description of Key Audit Matters:
- 27 -
The revenue of the Group mainly comes from product sales to customers, and the sales contract with customers involve different types of transaction terms. For the recognition of sales revenue, the product control transfer status is determined on the transaction terms of each individual sales contract. Accordingly, the test of the recognition of revenue is identified as a key audit matter for the execution of the audit of the financial statements of the Group.
Corresponding Audit Procedures:
The primary audit procedures adopted by our independent auditors with respect to the aforementioned key audit matters include evaluation of the appropriateness of the accounting policy for revenue recognition; understanding and testing the type, transaction model, contract clauses and transaction terms as well as relevant internal control design and execution effectiveness; sampling of the detailed test presently conducted to verify all forms and charts in order to confirm the authenticity of the transaction. Stop-point test is conducted at a certain period before and after the report date of the financial statements in order to obtain sample and verify relevant certificates, thereby ensuring the reasonableness of recognition time point for transactions. Furthermore, a certain period before and after the financial statement report date, the Group is inspected to determine whether allowance and deduction have been provided to customers according to sales contract requirements, whether there is any material sales return or allowance, in order to ensure the authenticity of transactions. Moreover, the accrued allowance amount specified by the management authority is obtained and is verified with relevant internal and external data, in order to evaluate the rationality of relevant parameters and primary assumptions. In addition, the accuracy of the accrued allowance estimation of the previous year is inspected in order to evaluate the appropriateness of the accrued allowance amount specified by the management authority.
- II. Investment Property Fair Value Evaluation
Please refer to Note 4(10) Investment Property of the consolidated financial statements for detailed accounting policy on investment property fair value evaluation. Please refer to Note 5(3) of the consolidated financial statements for detailed accounting estimation and assumption uncertainty for the investment property fair value. Please refer to Note 6(7) Investment Property of the consolidated financial statements for details of the investment property. Description of Key Audit Matters:
The investment property of the Group refers to important assets for operation, and its amount accounts for 28% of the total assets. For the investment property, the accounting procedure adopts the standard of IAS 40, and the fair value model is selected for the adoption. Subsequent fair value change is reorganized as current profit/loss. Since the Group uses the recommendation of external real estate appraiser report as the basis for the evaluation of the investment property fair value, the neighborhood rental market prices referenced and financial information related to the investment property rental provided by the Group for the execution of the appraisal procedure may involve to the material determination and estimation. Accordingly, in case of any inappropriate evaluation of the fair value change may result in misstatement of the financial statements. Accordingly, the investment property fair value evaluation is identified as a key audit matter for the execution of the audit of the financial statements of the Group. Corresponding Audit Procedures:
-
Assess the professionality, objectiveness and experience of the real estate appraiser retained by the Group to be in charge of the fair value measurement.
-
Verify the rationality of the material assumptions and critical termination adopted in its appraisal report, and review the lease agreements and comparison with relevant market information, in order to determine whether the future cash flow, income and discount rate have been handled according to the requirements.
-
28 -
-
Verify appraisal report and relevant accounting records in order to determine the accuracy of accounting procedures.
Other Matters
G-TECH Optoelectronics Corporation has prepared the standalone financial statements for 2020 and 2019, to which we have issued an independent auditor's report with unqualified opinion.
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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the R.O.C., and for necessary 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, the responsibilities of the management include assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. The term of “reasonable assurance” refers to high level of assurance. Nevertheless, the audit performed according to the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards cannot guarantee the discovery of material misstatement in the financial statements. Misstatement can 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 the 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:
-
Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error, design and adopt appropriate countermeasures for the risks assessed, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidences in order to be used as the basis for the opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain a necessary understanding of internal control concerning the inspection in order to design appropriate inspection procedures that are appropriate for the time being. The purpose, however, is not to effectively express opinions on the internal control of the Group.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management level.
-
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 ability of the Group 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.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including relevant notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidences for the financial information of individual entity of the Group and provide opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We handle the guidance, supervision and execution of the audit on the Group and are responsible for preparing the opinion for the Group.
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 have also provided the governance body with a declaration of independence stating that all relevant personnel of the accounting firm have complied with auditors' professional ethics of the R.O.C., and communicated with the governance body on all matters that may affect the auditor's independence (including protection measures).
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significant in the audit of the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation preclude 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 audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Zong Zhe, Chen and Shu Ying, Chang.

The purpose of the capital from the present execution of private placement is to increase the operating capital and repay bank borrowings, etc. Nevertheless, in view of the 2020 unconsolidated financial statements of your company, the amount of “Cash and cash equivalents” on the Balance Sheet approximately reaches 18.41% of the “Operating revenue” on the Income Statement for that year, and the Statements of Cash Flows also indicate a net cash inflow. Accordingly, please explain the necessity and reasonableness of raising the capital through private placement.
-
Explanation: The primary objectives of the present private placement are to increase the operating capital and repay the bank borrowings. The secondary consideration factors include the timeliness, feasibility and issue cost for the raising of capital. In addition, since securities of private placement are restricted from arbitrary transfer within three years according to the regulations, the private placement is able to ensure the long-term equity relationship between the Company and the subscribers. Furthermore, the capital raised is expected to complete the capital utilization within one year after the completion of the private placement, such that it is able to strengthen the financial structure immediately and to save interest expense and to achieve the effect of satisfying the operating capital demand from the expected expansion of production. Consequently, such private placement will have positive benefit on the shareholders’ equity.
-
II. For the present private placement, the number of common shares is planned to not exceed the quota of 30,000,000 shares for the execution of the private placement. However, the aforementioned private placement amount exceeds above 14.54% of the paid-in capital of your company. Please carefully evaluate the purpose of the private placement, and its impact on the management rights (factors of the equity ratio of the total shares for the present private placement, characteristics of subscribers and purpose of execution of private placement, etc. shall be comprehensively considered) and the impacts on the shareholders’ equity. In case where the evaluation indicates that the management right may have material change after the private placement, it is necessary to request the securities underwriter to issue a detailed and specific evaluation opinion (including the impacts on the company's business, finance and shareholders’ equity after the transfer of management right, selection of subscribers and its feasibility and necessity, and expected benefit from execution of the private placement, etc.) on the transfer of management right due to the private placement, and shall also make supplemental public announcement related matters. In addition, the evaluation opinion shall also be described in the Notice for Shareholders’ Meeting.
-
Explanation: The subjects for the private placement to be executed in the future will be limited to the specific persons specified in Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act and prescribed in Financial Supervisory Commission’s (2002) Tai-Cai-Zheng-Yi-Zi No. 0910003455 Decree dated June 13, 2002, and it is also planned to include insiders and related parties. When the Company evaluates the selection of subscribers, it is determined based on the principle of investment-oriented purpose and prevention of occurrence of material change in the management right. Presently, there are no predefined subscribers, and in the future, relevant operations will be handled in accordance with the laws and regulations.

| Article | 7 | Shareholder meetings that are convened by the Board of Directors shall be chaired |

| The attendance shall be recorded in the meeting minutes. | ||

| Article | 9 | Attendance at shareholder meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of |
| shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the | ||
| shares indicated by the sign-in cards handed in plus the number of shares whose | ||
| voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronically. | ||
| The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. However, | ||
| when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number | ||
| of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more | ||
| than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may | ||
| be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending | ||
| shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, | ||
| the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned. | ||
| If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding | ||
| paragraph, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total | ||
| number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to Article | ||
| 175, Paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the | ||
| tentative resolution and another shareholder meeting shall be convened within one | ||
| month. | ||
| When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a | ||
| majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may resubmit the tentative | ||
| resolution for a vote by the shareholder meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the | ||
| Company Act. | ||
| Article | 10 | Where a shareholder meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting |
| agenda shall be set by the Board of Directors. Votes shall be cast on each separate | ||
| proposal in the agenda (including extraordinary motions and amendments to the | ||
| original proposals set out in the agenda). The meeting shall proceed in the order set | ||
| by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholder | ||
| meeting. | ||
| The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholder | ||
| meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the Board of |
- 44 -
Directors.
The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions). The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting. Article 11 Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker’s slip the subject of the speech, their shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair. A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker’s slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker’s slip, the spoken content shall prevail. Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder’s speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech. When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violation. When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholder meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal. After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond. Article 12 Voting at a shareholder meeting shall be calculated based on the number of shares. With respect to resolutions of shareholder meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares. When a shareholder has a personal interest in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would harm the interests of the Company, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder. The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders. With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3% of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation. Article 13 A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Paragraph 2 of Article 179 of the Company Act. When the Company holds a shareholder meeting, it shall adopt the exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt the exercise of voting rights by correspondence. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic
- 45 -
means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholder 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 their rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting.
