Item I 2020 Business Report
Kaimei Electronic Corp. 2020 Business Report
In 2020, the spread of the epidemic has led to low demand for automotive and industrial machinery.

In January 2021, in order to continue to focus on its core technologies and strengthen its competitiveness more effectively, “integration of Group resources” was undertaken. The Group completed the share-swap deal with Chilisin Electronics Corp., in which the Groups' subsidiary Bothhand Enterprise Inc. was disposed of and Ralec Electronic Corp., a subsidiary of Chilisin Electronics Corp. was acquired. Through the transaction, the Group has been able to concentrate on the management of its main operations, to tap into the integrated synergy in channels, technologies, process and management, and to complement both of its products and markets, so as to maximize the utilization of resources in various aspects and continuously provide comprehensive component solutions for customers and to increase the overall corporation value and shareholders' equity.

Effect of External Competition, Legal environment, and the Overall Business Environment
The global economy is still subject to a number of potential risks. After the Biden administration took office, it has firmly prioritized to restore America’s standing in the world through supporting domestic industries. Against the backdrop of that, coupled with continued decline of economy in the mainland China area, the Company has been faced with the impact of external competition, laws and regulations and general business environment all the time. As a result, the Company will commit itself to upgrading its products through research and development and taking the initiative to obtain certifications from major manufacturers to seize the opportunities for future growth. The Company will also constantly learn from the management experience of the world's leading manufacturers, and adopt and absorb the sophisticated manufacturing process management tools and techniques, so as to bring the production of the Company to the world-class level.
4. Future Development Strategy
As the passive component market has significantly recovered and product prices have risen recently, the current order visibility will continue till the second quarter of this year. The Company will actively adjust output and continue to provide customers with high-value products and services. However, since the global pandemic has not been eradicated yet, and international trade disputes are full of uncertainties, the Company will stay cautiously optimistic about the performance and business outlook.

Appendix 6 CPA Audit Report and Financial Statements
Independent Auditors ’ Report
To the Board of Directors of KAIMEI ELECTRONIC CORP. (formerly known as Teapo Electronic Ltd.):
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of KAIMEI ELECTRONIC CORP. (formerly known as Teapo Electronic Ltd.) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year 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 of December 31, 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ( “ IFRIC ” ) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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 Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- The loss allowance for trade receivables
For the accounting policy of allowance for trade receivables, please refer to Note 4(g)(i) 6) “impairment of financial assets”; for the uncertainty of the evaluation of trade receivables, please refer to Note 5; for the related disclosure of the loss allowance of trade receivables, please refer to Note 6(e).
-29-
Description of key audit matter:
The management of the Group has estimated the loss allowance of trade receivables that is based on the risk of a default occurring and the rate of expected credit loss. The management of the Group has considered historical experience, current economic conditions and forward-looking information at the reporting date to determine the assumptions to be used in calculating the impairments and the selected inputs. Such estimation involves the subjective judgment of the management. Thus, the assessment of loss allowance of trade receivables is one of the most important evaluation in performing our audit procedures.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included testing the accuracy and completeness of the aging schedule, which are the basis for the calculation of impairment losses, assessing the reasonableness of the policy for measuring impairment losses, confirming if the provision rate of impairment losses is consistent with the accounting policy, testing the recoverability of receivables by vouching collection record in subsequent period, and, for the overdue receivables yet not recovered, understanding and assessing the reasonableness of the impairment losses measured on the basis of the customer's historical receipt status, with collateral or not, and overall economic condition.
Other Matter
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2019, was audited by other auditors, who issued an unqualified audit report on March 18, 2020.
KAIMEI ELECTRONIC CORP. has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with other matters paragraph; KAIMEI ELECTRONIC CORP. has also prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended 2019, on which other auditors have issued an unqualified opinion with emphasis of matters paragraph.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
-30-
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 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 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.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient and 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.
-31-
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 auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Szu-Chuan Chien and Jui Lan Lo.

Independent Auditors ’ Report
To the Board of Directors of KAIMEI ELECTRONIC CORP. (formerly known as Teapo Electronic Ltd.):
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of KAIMEI ELECTRONIC CORP. (formerly known as Teapo Electronic Ltd.)(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year 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 Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- The loss allowance for trade receivables of the Company and its subsidiaries investments accounted for using equity method
For the accounting policy of allowance for trade receivables, please refer to Note 4(g)(i) 6) “impairment of financial assets”; for the uncertainty of the evaluation of trade receivables, please refer to Note 5; for the related disclosure of the loss allowance of trade receivables, please refer to Note 6(d).
Description of key audit matter:
The management of the Company has estimated the loss allowance of trade receivables that is based on the risk of a default occurring and the rate of expected credit loss. The management of the Company has considered historical experience, current economic conditions and forward-looking information at the reporting date to determine the assumptions to be used in calculating the impairments and the selected inputs. Such estimation involves the subjective judgment of the management. Thus, the assessment of loss allowance of trade receivables is one of the most important evaluation in performing our audit procedures.
-37-
3-1
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included testing the accuracy and completeness of the aging schedule, which are the basis for the calculation of impairment losses, assessing the reasonableness of the policy for measuring impairment losses, confirming if the provision rate of impairment losses is consistent with the accounting policy, testing the recoverability of receivables by vouching collection record in subsequent period, and, for the overdue receivables yet not recovered, understanding and assessing the reasonableness of the impairment losses measured on the basis of the customer's historical receipt status, with collateral or not, and overall economic condition.
Other Matter
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019, was audited by other auditors, who issued an unqualified audit report on March 18, 2020.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors ’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with 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 risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-38-
3-2
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on these 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Szu Chuan Chien and Jui Lan Lo.
