conditions on the dilution of equity

The total amount of convertible bonds issued is
NT$500,000 thousand. Since the bonds have a
three-year maturity period, the timing of conversion
requests by creditors varies, which will delay the
result of earnings per share and will not have a
significant impact on the shareholders' equity.
Since the bond's coupon rate is 0% and the
conversion price is at a premium, there should be no
negative impact on shareholders' equity.

Annex 1

Business Report

Dear Shareholders,

Welcome to the 2023 annual general meeting of shareholders.

According to a research report by the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, last year (2022) due to the outbreak of armed conflict in Russia and Ukraine, resulting in a surge in global energy and raw material prices, and China also due to the outbreak of epidemics, which led to the adoption of strict control measures, resulting in the global supply chain suffered another blow; in addition, Europe and the U.S. as inflation continues to rise, the U.S. Federal Reserve in order to curb inflation, rising interest rates rapidly since March, and since the second half of the year to reduce bond purchases, resulting in increased volatility in global financial markets, non-USD currencies mostly have seen significant depreciation, also led to a surge in imported inflationary pressure in many countries. Looking ahead to 2023, as major economies have been raising interest rates since 2022 to curb inflation, manufacturing activity in various countries has slowed down significantly, coupled with the unresolved war between Russia and Ukraine and the resurgence of the U.S.-China technology war and other variables continue to deepen doubts about the global economic outlook, major international forecasters all believe that global economic and trade growth will slow down in 2023 compared to 2022.

Hotron Group's consolidated revenue for last year (2022) was NT$3,362 million, although it was 12% growth compared to the previous year (2021), when the revenue was NT$3,007 million., it was still affected by the war in Russia, the epidemic, the exchange rate, the interest rate hike and the increase in raw material prices, which led to the increase in costs and expenses. Although the net income for the year was NT$65,746 thousand, an 190% growth compared to NT$22,676 thousand in the previous year (2021), and the after-tax earnings per share was NT$0.71, the profit was still not satisfactory. Despite the profit was not as expected, however, Hotron Group has entered the stage of industrial upgrading and corporate transformation, and is optimistic about the future development.

Hotron Group has already taken the leading position in the market share of the existing cable products. However, in order to maintain the corporate advantages and enhance the competitiveness of the industry, Hotron Group still continues to actively carry out product upgrades and industrial transformation. In addition to the upgrade of existing products and the development of more advanced cable products with faster transmission speed, the charging gun products for electric vehicles have been steadily shipped, and we have planned to continue to develop the charging equipment products and extend the depth and breadth of electric vehicle products in order to establish a firm foothold in the electric vehicle industry in the shortest possible time. Furthermore, the new factories in Vietnam and Hubei have been put into production, which not only enable us to serve customers and supply goods locally, but also increase our production capacity, which will help increase our revenue sources and profitability.

I would like to wish all shareholders, ladies and gentlemen Good health! All the best!

2022 Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Independent Auditors' Report

(2023) No. Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing-22004209

To Hotron Precision Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Hotron Precision Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and 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 financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

  • 15 -

Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:

Investments accounted for using equity method and the recognition of the investment profit or loss

Explanations

For the accounting policies concerning the investments accounted for using equity method, please refer to Note 4(j) to the parent company only financial statements. For the explanation concerning investments accounted for using equity method, please refer to Note 6(d) to the parent company only financial statements.

As of December 31, 2022, the investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$1,770,334 thousands, and the share of the profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$(1,129) thousands in the year ended December 31, 2022. The balance of the investment accounted for using equity method is identified as one of the key audit matter, as the aforementioned amounts are material to the financial statements.

Audit procedures in response

The main audit procedures in response to the aforementioned key audit matter implemented on specific level are summarized below

  • 1.Obtain an understanding of the accounting policies of the investments accounted for using equity method, verify whether the accounting policies are in accordance with the regulations governing the preparation of financial reports, and assess whether the accounting policies are appropriate.

  • 2.Obtain an understanding of the relevant control procedures of the investment accounted for using equity method, test and calculate the accuracy of the recognition of related additions, disposals, investment profit or loss and the share of the profit or loss in other comprehensive income.

Revenue Cut-off of Sales from Hubs

Explanations

For the accounting policies concerning the recognition of revenue, please refer to Note 4(u) to the parent company only financial statements.

There are two main types of sales, including recognizing revenue after shipping from the factory, and recognizing revenue after shipping from hubs. The revenue of the sales from the hubs shall be recognized after the end customers pick up the cargo and the transfer of the risk and reward has been confirmed. The Company recognizes revenue based on the information of actual shipments from the hub to the customers derived from the report or other information provided by the hub’s custodian.

The revenue of sales from hubs is recognized based on the report or other information provided by the hub’s custodian and the revenue recognition involves numerous manual procedures. As there are numerous sales from hubs, and the transaction amounts prior to and after the balance sheet date are significant to the financial statements, revenue cut-off of sales from hubs has been identified as one of the key audit matters.

  • 16 -

Audit procedures in response

The main audit procedures in response to the revenue cut-off of sales from hubs implemented are summarized below

  • 1.Obtain an understanding of the revenue recognition procedures of the sales from hubs, including obtaining an understanding of the relevant internal control procedures and the information and reports provided by the hub’s custodian, to assess the appropriateness of the revenue recognition of sales from hubs.

  • 2.Perform the internal control testing to the revenue from the sales from hubs, to ensure the Company recognized revenue after the end customers pick up the cargo and the transfer of the risk and reward has been confirmed.

  • 3.Perform the revenue cut-off testing to the transactions of sales from hub during a certain period prior and after the balance sheet date, including verifying the supporting documents, shipping certificates, and revenue recognition has been recorded in the appropriate period.

  • 4.Send confirmation letters about the inventory quantities to the hubs, and verify the number with the quantities in the account books.

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.

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 members of the Audit Committee) 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 an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.

  • 17 -

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

  • 1.Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 from on resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

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

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

  • 4.Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, we are required to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • 5.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the 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.

  • 6.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.

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.

  • 18 -

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 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annex 5

2022 Consolidated Financial Statements and Independent Auditors' Report

(2023) No. Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing-22003983

To Hotron Precision Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Hotron Precision Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries(the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

  • 25 -

Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:

Valuation for Inventories

Explanations

For the accounting policies concerning the valuation of inventories, please refer to Note 4(j) to the consolidated financial statements. For the uncertainty arising from accounting estimates and assumptions of the valuation of inventories, please refer to Note 5(b) to the consolidated financial statements. For the explanations of the allowance for reduction of inventory to market, please refer to Note 6(c) to the consolidated financial statements. The inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses amounted to NT$1,116,557 thousands and NT$74,888 thousands respectively as of December 31, 2022.

The Group manufactures and sells cables and wires for 3C products. As the life cycle of electronic products is very short, and the market is highly competitive, the risk of suffering from inventory valuation losses is high. The Group measure inventories by the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is estimated by the actual average selling prices less the variable selling expense. However, as the net realizable value used in inventory valuation is involved in subjective judgment, it has the characteristic of high uncertainty arising from accounting estimates. The valuation of the allowance inventory valuation losses has been identified as one of the key audit matters.

Audit procedures in response

The main audit procedures in response to the allowance inventory valuation losses implemented are summarized below:

  • 1.Obtain an understanding of the operation and the nature of the industry of the Group, to assess the rationality of the recognition policies and procedures of the allowance inventory valuation losses, including the rationality of base to determine the net realizable value.

  • 2.Obtain an understanding of the process of hub management, check the annual stocktaking plan, and participate in the annual stocktaking, to assess the effectiveness of identifying and controlling the inventories by the management.

  • 3.Verify the appropriateness of the inventory aging report used for inventory valuation, to ensure the information in the report is in consistency with the policies.

  • 4.Perform the verification of the logic to calculate the net realizable value of the inventories, to assess the rationality of determining the allowance inventory valuation losses.

  • 26 -

Revenue Cut-off of Sales from Hubs

Explanations

For the accounting policies concerning the recognition of revenue, please refer to Note 4(22) to the consolidated financial statements.

There are two main types of sales, including recognizing revenue after shipping from the factory, and recognizing revenue after shipping from hubs. The revenue of the sales from the hubs shall be recognized after the end customers pick up the cargo and the transfer of the risk and reward has been confirmed. The Group recognizes revenue based on the information of actual shipments from the hub to the customers derived from the report or other information provided by the hub’s custodian.

The revenue of sales from hubs is recognized based on the report or other information provided by the hub’s custodian and the revenue recognition involves numerous manual procedures. As there are numerous sales from hubs, and the transaction amounts prior to and after the balance sheet date are significant to the financial statements, revenue cut-off of sales from hubs has been identified as one of the key audit matters.

Audit procedures in response

The main audit procedures in response to the revenue cut-off of sales from hubs implemented are summarized below:

  • 1.Obtain an understanding of the revenue recognition procedures of the sales from hubs, including obtaining an understanding of the relevant internal control procedures and the information and reports provided by the hub’s custodian, to assess the appropriateness of the revenue recognition of sales from hubs.

  • 2.Perform the internal control testing to the revenue from the sales from hubs, to ensure the Group recognized revenue after the end customers pick up the cargo and the transfer of the risk and reward has been confirmed.

  • 3.Perform the revenue cut-off testing to the transactions of sales from hub during a certain period prior and after the balance sheet date, including verifying the supporting documents, shipping certificates, and revenue recognition has been recorded in the appropriate period.

  • 4.Send confirmation letters about the inventory quantities to the hubs, and verify the number with the quantities in the account books.

Other Matter Parent Company Only Financial Statements

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Hotron Precision Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 on which we have issued an 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 for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

  • 27 -

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

Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

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

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

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

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

  • 4.Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, we are required to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • 5.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. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

  • 28 -

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
