1. To Report the Business of 2024
Notes:
Kinpo Electronics, Inc. 2024 Business Report
The year 2024 was one of profound change and challenge. Global growth was buffeted by shifts in U.S. Federal Reserve policy, inflation trends, unemployment fluctuations, leadership transitions, and policy uncertainty, leaving markets torn between hopes for rate cuts and the risks of accelerating inflation. According to the IMF’s World Economic Outlook, global GDP growth in 2024 reached 3.2%—stable compared with 2023, yet still below pre-pandemic levels and continuing a deceleration trend. At the same time, Sino-U.S. tensions continued to disrupt supply chains and spur competition over technology standards and economic interests, forcing nations to recalibrate their strategies to mitigate geopolitical risk.
Kinpo Group’s consolidated net revenue for 2024 was NT$164,405,392,000, up 2.91% from NT$159,757,214,000 in 2023. Through ongoing product portfolio optimization and lean organizational management, operating expenses fell 13.02% year-on-year. After-tax net income rose 188.99% to NT$2,394,634,000, of which NT$1,646,423,000 was attributable to the parent company—an increase of 119.22%. Earnings per share climbed to NT$1.11, a 117.65% improvement over 2023.
On the operational front, in addition to the third production base already established in Thailand, Kinpo Group launched a new factory project in São Paulo, Brazil last year; it commenced production in Q2 of this year. In product development, the Group’s prior investments in high-technology R&D—such as electric-vehicle charging stations, motherboards for semiconductor equipment, multifunctional millimeter-wave radar systems, electronic rear-view mirror systems, and intelligent cockpit modules—have begun to yield results and will steadily contribute to future revenues and profitability.
In terms of production and process automation, Kinpo Group has deployed a large number of robotic arms to replace manual labor and has extensively integrated AI
- 3 -
technologies into its production processes and equipment management, moving toward a fully unmanned factory model. At the same time, the Group has introduced Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in both office and smartmanufacturing operations to further boost efficiency.
On the environmental front of corporate sustainability, Kinpo Group began its carbon-reduction initiatives back in 2008. Today, all twelve of its global plants are certified to ISO 50001 for energy management, and last year the Group’s flagship manufactured products earned ISO 14067 Product Carbon Footprint certification. Recognizing the critical role of the supply chain in decarbonization, Kinpo Group and its partners formed the “Kinpo Sustainable ESG Partners Alliance,” holding workshops to help suppliers grasp international carbon-reduction trends and customer expectations. Internally, the Group piloted a carbon-pricing mechanism—simulating how carbon fees would impact operating costs—to identify further reduction opportunities and pursue its goal of “generating higher revenues with lower carbon emissions.” Kinpo has also obtained CommonWealth Magazine’s “Paris Agreement 1.5 °C Target” certification, passed the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) review, and was ranked second among electronics companies in Business Weekly’s Carbon Competitiveness Top 100.
On social inclusion, Kinpo Group leverages its corporate resources to drive positive change. Partnering with the Mustard Seed Mission, it advances sustainable agrieducation programs that equip Indigenous youth with farming skills and encourage them to return home, revitalizing local economies. It also supports the National Performing Arts Center’s “Artistic Outreach 2.0” initiative, bringing live performance into rural communities to narrow the urban–rural cultural divide and promote cultural equity. Moreover, Kinpo has been honored with the 1111 Job Bank “Happiness Enterprise Gold Award” for four consecutive years.
In terms of corporate governance, to strengthen our risk-assessment capabilities and enhance overall management, last year we established a Board-level Risk Management Committee to steer resource allocation and ensure that our riskmanagement framework operates effectively. To verify that our ESG efforts across all dimensions align with international trends and our own ambitions, Kinpo Group has also actively participated in numerous external evaluations. On the governance front, we were honored with the TCSA Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Award’s “Top 100 Sustainable Role Model Enterprises” and, for the second consecutive year, received the “Platinum Award for Sustainability Reporting.”

Looking ahead to 2025 (ROC 114), although the global economic landscape remains fraught with uncertainties—especially following the return of former President Trump and the “America First” executive orders and policy shifts, which are certain to induce divergence across industries, societies, and politicaleconomic environments worldwide and thus significantly impact business operations—these very challenges and risks also present countless opportunities for Kinpo Group. With production bases in seven countries, we enjoy strong local footholds that enable us to deliver swift, flexible, and diverse strategies tailored to each customer’s needs in each region. Moving forward, Kinpo Group will continue to pursue our vision by reinforcing core competitiveness, concentrating on our principal businesses, optimizing our product portfolio, capturing a larger share of high-margin offerings, increasing value-added per employee, and driving both topline growth and profitability.

Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese
Independent Auditors’ Report
To Kinpo Electronics, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Kinpo Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and notes to the parent company only financial statements including a summary of material accounting policies (collectively referred to “the parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of other Auditors section of our report), the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with the requirements of 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 the Standards on Auditing of 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 Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, 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 for the year of 2024 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- 7 -
Timing of Revenue Recognition
The Company recognized operating revenue in the amount of NT$ 8,238,173 thousand in the year of 2024. The main source of revenue was from the production and sales of a variety of consumer electronic products, which were not manufactured until orders were received. As the Company had a large number of customers and products were sold to domestic and international markets involving a various commercial term, the correctness of revenue recognition timing by transferring commodity control on merchandise to customers was material to the parent company only financial statements, we therefore considered this key audit matter.
For the revenue recognition, we have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls with respect to the revenue cycle; selecting representative samples to conduct test of details by inspecting transaction record and verifying the key conditions of the orders or agreements to confirm the timing when a performance obligation is satisfied, and conducting cutoff test on transactions recognized within a certain period of time before and after the balance sheet date by selecting samples to review the conditions of transactions and vouch relevant transaction documents as evidence to confirm that a performance obligation is satisfied. We also considered the appropriateness of operating revenue disclosure in Note 6 of parent company only financial statements.
Valuation of Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method
As of December 31, 2024, the investment accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$ 32,990,583 thousand, constituting 59% of the parent company only total assets, which is deemed significant to the parent company only financial statements. We reviewed whether the Company has control over its investees. For those investees that the Company has control over, we then reviewed if the investee had been deemed as a consolidated entity. For the long-term equity investments that the Company makes significant impact on such investees, we reviewed if the investment was accounted for using equity method. The appropriateness of the accounting treatment mentioned above had significant impact to the parent company only financial statements. Therefore, we considered this a key audit matter.
We have conduct audit procedures including but not limited to obtaining the most recent investment structure chart of the Company and reviewing relevant changes; understanding the appropriateness of recognition basis and classification of investments accounted for using equity method; assessing the ownership of the Company to each reinvestment; analyzing the composition of the board of directors, management and shareholders and the power of shareholders to direct the relevant activity to confirm whether the investments of the Company were accounted for according to IFRS; verifying whether the Company had obtained audited financial statements when recognizing share of profit (loss) and share of other comprehensive income using equity method. In addition to understanding the impact the investees’ significant events made on the Company’s
- 8 -
individual financial statements, we further evaluated whether the measurement of the investment accounted for using equity method complied with IFRS and IAS. Meanwhile, we verified the existence and ownership of the investment by confirmation or physical count procedures. We also considered the investments accounted for using equity method appropriateness of the disclosure in respect of Note 6 of the parent company only financial statement.
Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Other Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method whose statements are based solely on the reports of the other auditors. These investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$ 7,224,788 thousand and NT$ 7,506,118 thousand, representing 13% and 14% of the parent company only total assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The related share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to (NT$ 539,989) thousand and (NT$ 408,157) thousand, representing (32)% and(50)% of the net profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the related share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$ 202,409 thousand and NT$ 120,090 thousand, representing 30% and 5% of the other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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 requirements of 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 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, 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 audit committee or supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
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
- 9 -
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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 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 internal control of the Company.
-
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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
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 group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
-
10 -
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 for the year of 2024 the parent company only financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese
Report of Independent Auditors
To Kinpo Electronics, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kinpo Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” and its subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and notes to the consolidated financial statements including the summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors section of our report), the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by 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 the Standards on Auditing of 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 Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 2024 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- 12 -
Timing of Revenue Recognition
The Company and its subsidiaries recognized operating revenue in the amount of NT$ 164,405,392 thousand in 2024. The main source of revenue was from the production and sales of a variety of consumer electronic products, which were not manufactured until orders were received. As the Company and its subsidiaries had a large number of customers and products were sold to domestic and international markets involving a various commercial terms, the correctness of revenue recognition timing by transferring commodity control on merchandise to customers was material to the consolidated financial statements, we therefore considered this key audit matter.
For the revenue recognition, we have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls with respect to the revenue cycle; selecting representative samples to conduct test of details by inspecting transaction record and verifying the key conditions of the orders or agreements to confirm the timing when a performance obligation is satisfied, and conducting cutoff test on transactions recognized within a certain period of time before and after the balance sheet date by selecting samples to review the conditions of transactions and vouch relevant transaction documents as evidence to confirm that a performance obligation is satisfied. We also considered the appropriateness of operating revenue disclosure in Note 6 of consolidated financial statements.
Business Combination
According to IFRS 10, regardless of the nature of the investment, it is necessary for the investor to re-assess whether or not it controls an investee when deciding whether the investor is the parent company. Since the Company and its subsidiaries holds less than 50% of the shares of some consolidated entities, whether the Company has control over the consolidated entities would directly affect the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we considered this a key audit matter.
We have conducted audit procedures including but not limited to obtaining the Company and its subsidiaries' latest organizational chart of the affiliates and reviewing relevant changes. In addition, we reviewed the overall shareholding percentage of each consolidated entity and analyzed the composition of the board of directors and management, the holding percentages main shareholders, and whether the power of the shareholders can directly affect the relevant activities to confirm the Company's evaluation of the control over its consolidated entities. We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure in respect of business combination in Notes 4 and 5 of the consolidated financial statement.
Other Matter - Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets of NT$ 6,977,947 thousand and NT$ 7,335,021 thousand, constituting 6% and 6% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023,
- 13 -
respectively, and total operating revenues of NT$ 2,080,137 thousand and NT$ 2,364,932 thousand, constituting 1% and 1% of consolidated operating revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors. We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method whose statements are based solely on the reports of other auditors. These investments accounted for using equity method to NT$ 6,004,568 thousand and NT$ 6,119,749 thousand, constituting 5% and 5% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The related shares of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to (NT$ 119,730) thousand and NT$ 16,906 thousand, constituting (4%) and 1% of the consolidated net profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$ 189,901 thousand and NT$ 121,742 thousand, constituting 20% and 5% of the consolidated other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by 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.
