King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. Business Report
The year 2023 passed with anticipation for the economic recovery of the semiconductor industry and with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) chips. Moreover, the global political and economic environment showed no clear signs of improvement and demand for consumer products stagnated. As a result, the Company's revenue and profits failed to achieve breakthrough growth. However, given the distribution of customer and testing product structures, the Company was not affected by this wave of economic adjustment compared with our peers. An overview of our last year's operational performance is described below.
Business Plan Implementation Results
The consolidated operating revenue was NT$33.025 billion in 2023, down 10.2%. Gross profit margin was 33.7%, a decrease of 1.7% compared with 35.4% last year. Earnings per share (EPS) was NT$4.78, a decrease of NT$0.81 compared with previous year. The Company delivered favorable business performance in general.
In 2023, the semiconductor industry entered a period of economic recession. Although urgent orders fluctuated mid-year and the global economic environment did not deteriorate further, China's economy did not rebound after the lifting of pandemic restrictions. Demand weakened for consumer products, network communication products, general servers, and computer products, and industrial and automotive products began to decline in Q4. Fortunately, the high-performance computing (HPC) chips for artificial intelligence (AI) had offset some of the factors that were unfavorable to the Company’s revenue, providing support to our business performance.
Because of the low visibility into clients’ inventory adjustments, the Company is committed to cost control: Fixed costs such as depreciation expense are stable; variable costs, such as direct and indirect materials and spare parts, decreased; and sales and management expenses did not increase. As a result, the Company’s annual operating gross profit margin and operating profit rate decreased only slightly compared with previous year, ridding us of the few waves of economic recession in the past and of the inevitable decline of the company's profitability.
In terms of manufacturing management, the Company has launched a number of smart factory improvement plans at Chu-Nan Factory and Tong-Luo Factory, with results gradually coming to fruition - including automated factory operations, adoption of smart manufacturing practices, streamlined processes, improved production efficiency, and reduced reliance on labor work. We also used AI technology to optimize internal factory operations in the areas of automated cargo loading, education and training, machine failure prevention/diagnosis, automated comparison for error reduction, quality management, operating procedure efficiency, production efficiency analysis, and database operation analysis.
In addition, the Company continues to fine-tune its machine capacity utilization rate, shortens the delivery time of important products, cares about customer service satisfaction, strengthens employees' task efficiency, and invests in improving ESG performance. In doing so, the Company
-13-
can continually improve its overall operating system and cultivate resilience to the fast-changing external environment.
Financial income and profit analysis
With respect to financial and profit status in 2023, the Company saw a sound financial structure, with debt to total assets ratio of 45.85% down by 4.46% from previous year, and long-term capital to fixed assets ratio of 141.88% up 8.35% compared with last year. Current ratio and quick ratio increased by 66.41% and 63.02% from previous year, reaching 284.47% and 264.15%, respectively, indicating further increase in short-term liquidity. In terms of the company’s profitability which was affected by the economic recession, our return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), net profit margin, and earnings per share were 8.86%, 15.63%, 18.22%, and NT$4.78, respectively, which decreased by 1.27%, 3.81%, 0.76%, and NT$0.81 compared with previous year, suggesting satisfactory results for both financial income and profits.
R&D status
With respect to research and development, the Company's R&D center consolidates resources to not only provide customers with a comprehensive range of testing solutions - from adoption to mass production of new products - for technical problems encountered in the testing process. We are committed to creating a fully equipped testing environment that enables us to sort out problems related to product and component production, and also to automating production processes, making our factories smarter, and developing unparalleled testing service capabilities.
Because the company specializes in integrated circuit (IC) testing, we have gained an in-depth understanding of testing machines that form the core of the testing industry, and even developed testers and burn-in ovens in-house over the past two decades. The R&D blueprints for those testing devices have been increased and improved in terms of specifications, performance, and quantity to satisfy customer needs. Our other focuses include PCB designing, manufacturing, and simulation technology, as well as the designing and manufacturing of testing equipment adapters, testing accessories, probe cards, and substrate boards. We continue to integrate relevant testing systems, and introduce our in-house developed testing equipment to different product applications to keep pace with time and the changing market. Last year, we developed a wide range of equipment and key components, such as logic IC testing machines, image sensors, driver IC machines, microelectromechanical (MEMS) machines, and high power burn-in ovens.
In the area of testing software, as testing equipment and customer products become increasingly more sophisticated and automatic testing programs and conversion systems are being developed, we incorporate artificial intelligence to improve production efficiency and user convenience. We embrace the rapidly advancing technology by developing new testing technologies such as high-frequency, high-power, heterogeneous and advanced packaging, and silicon photonics to maintain our unique competitive edge in the field of semiconductor manufacturing and testing.
Overview of Current Business Plan
Looking forward to 2024, the economy of the semiconductor industry is projected to recover. We plan to develop our business by following our strategic directions to achieve breakthrough in
-14-
performance growth targets; by combining market structure with customer needs to improve equipment utilization rate and investment returns; and by promoting our machine development business through applications and strategic alliance with clients at the front end. Specifically, we will take the following actions: Improve customer services by focusing on key customer satisfaction, strengthening problem-solving capability, and strictly controlling customer complaints and the cost of quality failure; Improve production and manufacturing processes by fine-tuning the integration of automation and smart manufacturing, achieving further breakthrough in productivity, and improving our technical know-how; Enforce cost control by promoting diverse cost control practices, paying attention to the suitability of use of material, and improving inventory management; Engage in R&D innovation by building up our experience in using and maintaining our own equipment, working with production units to gain access to other platforms, strengthening our R&D capacity for core technologies and key components and equipment, and ensuring the quality of our intellectual properties and patents; and Enhance human resources by retaining high-caliber talents, recruiting employees, cultivating key competencies, training supervisors, and taking the initiative to create rotation plans for supervisors.
Future development strategy
In the midst of U.S.’s deglobalization movement and its containment of China’s technology and semiconductor industries, the global semiconductor supply chain has undergone restructuring, resulting in the concentration of high-end semiconductor manufacturing in Taiwan. Products contain high silicon content, which have increased both unit price and profits. The Company’s future development strategy will attach importance to customer services. Specifically, we aim to strengthen the core value provided to customers by the manufacturing supply chain, develop differentiating capabilities for our professional testing service, improve the operational efficiency of company systems used in the complex manufacturing process, support customers’ product launch, and grow together with customers as their trusted partner.
We will also continue to expand the business of our fabless semiconductor design company in Europe, the United States, and Japan, cultivate potential customers, and increase the proportion of IDM outsourcing orders to strengthen and stabilize our profitability. Given the conflict of the U.S.–China technology competition and China's push for semiconductor independence, the Company will carefully evaluate and adjust the global development of its semiconductor manufacturing business and seize opportunities for strategic cooperation with upstream and downstream vendors to prepare for any environmental changes in the future.
The effect of external competition, the legal environment, and the overall business environment
According to Gartner, a research and consulting firm, worldwide semiconductor revenue decreased 10.9% in 2023 to $534 billion compared with 2022, and is projected to increase by 16.8% in 2024 to US$624 billion. In general, the semiconductor industry is expected to reach a healthy inventory level in 2024 in the IC design industry. 2024 will be a year of opportunities for the recovery of the semiconductor industry - attributable to increase in advanced chip manufacturing and advanced packaging production, rebuilding of IC inventory, increase in silicon content in
-15-
smartphones, recovery of demand for consumer, computer, and electric vehicle products, and exponential increase in demand for AI HPC and edge computing chips.
The IMF’s global growth forecast for 2024, published in January 2024, was at 3.1%, which was roughly the same as in 2023 but still below the historical average of 3.8%. According to the World Bank, global growth is projected to slow for the third year in a row—from 3% in 2022 and 2.6% in 2023 to 2.4% in 2024. Emerging markets - India and China are projected to have a stronger growth, followed by developed countries - United States and Spain, while Europe and Japan registered weaker growth. This year’s global economic growth requires continued observation of its recovery strength due to uncertainties from a mixture of factors such as interest rate, exchange rate, inflation, unemployment rate, consumer spending power, U.S. Dollar asset liquidity, U.S.’s budget deficit and debt spiral, and geopolitical issues.
In terms of external competition, the advent of 5G in 2019, the mass production of the 5nm node for advanced semiconductor processes, and improvements to advanced packaging structures have greatly enhanced the performance of IC SOC and SiP products. Since the global domination of the semiconductor industry, the concentration of upstream and downstream suppliers has created an oligopolistic phenomenon in which they become interdependent of one another. Consequently, the ability of OEM’s operating systems to deliver output becomes imperative. In other words, production capacity, technology, quality, service, technical support, production efficiency, price, information, finance, and corporate culture, among other aspects must be closely integrated to meet customers’ supply chain requirements. Therefore, semiconductor manufacturers and supply chain capabilities are concentrated in Asia, particularly in Taiwan and China. In recent years, the United States has been promoting the “China Plus One” (C+1) strategy - a practice of diversifying manufacturing operations by adding facilities in the US or outside of China. As a result, a distinction has been formed between China's supply chain, which relies on mature processes, and Taiwan's supply chain, which focuses on advanced manufacturing processes. Semiconductor manufacturers based in Taiwan have continuously established factories overseas, while packaging and testing OEMs are ramping up efforts to compete for OEM orders from world-class customers and each of them are developing their core businesses. KYEC views competition as a norm in that it not only enriches our professional testing capabilities and experience but also cultivates our unique competitive advantages for sustainable growth.
In terms of laws and the general business environment in 2023, the United States has continued to impose bans on China’s technology and semiconductor industries by frequently updating the restricted trade list and introducing export restrictions. In response, China has been working toward self-sufficiency in the semiconductor industry. Despite being limited by mature manufacturing processes, China’s semiconductor sector saw a drastic increase in the import of semiconductor equipment. The construction of many wafer fabs has been completed this year, releasing the production capacity of packaging and testing factories, which triggered a drop in OEM prices. Products manufactured using mature processes are adversely affected by China’s industrial growth and thus must not be overlooked.
Looking back on last year, in the midst of rapid global inflation, U.S. interest hikes, and the
-16-
subsequent effects of tightened monetary policy, economic growth has weakened and shrinking demand has delayed recovery. In addition, the chaos caused by the war between Ukraine and Russia, the war in the Middle East, and the geopolitical struggle between China and the United States have only added a multitude of uncertainties to the general business environment.
Looking forward to 2024, the semiconductor supply chain and market demand is poised to achieve balanced development, and accelerated recovery of demand is anticipated. However, the gap between expectations for interest rate cut and rapid decline in inflation and the decisions actually made has caused fluctuations in the investment environment. Moreover, the results of this year’s US political election will possibly exert an enormous impact on the global landscape in the areas of politics, economy, military, democracy, and centralization of authority.
Given this year’s US Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and the global development of technology products, there is a strong demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes and advanced packaging and testing capability. The ecological prototypes of future technologies in various industries and sectors have emerged, with most of them revolving around AI, IOT, network communication transmission, edge computing, high-performance computing, and integration with software development in various aspects of smart living, such as smart health, smart medical care, smart homes, smart cities, smart factories, smart robots, and smart cars, among others. Generative and inferential AI have driven a substantial growth of personal mobile devices, transportation vehicles, enterprise and industrial metaverses, high-speed high-frequency transmission, and data center servers. The technological application of semiconductor IC components is focused on smartphones, automotive electronics, or traditional products such as personal computers, and AI will bring about a variety of business innovation opportunities, thus increasing the demand for silicon content in semiconductor products. In other words, there remains a significant potential for development in the future of semiconductor manufacturing.
Despite the slow economic recovery in the first half of 2024, the Company remains optimistic about opportunities for future business growth. We will continue to invest in talent development and equipment operations, expand production lines, build new factories, commit to customer services, and strive to work with suppliers in order to prosper together. As we prepare for the advent of the next economic prosperity, we pledge to make maximizing shareholders’ equity as our top priority.

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese
Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the financial statements”).
In our opinion, the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. 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. 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 2023 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.
Revenue recognition
King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. recognized NT$24,005,557 thousand as net sales. Its main activities are providing testing and assembly services that represented 86.5%, or NT$20,752,854 thousand in the amount, of the net operating revenue.
Since the primary activities of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. are providing testing and assembly services, and the services comprise various wafers/integrated circuits testing and assembly processing and rental of machinery, timing of revenue recognition may vary due to varied nature of revenue that increases the complexity of the revenue recognition. Therefore, we determined the matter to be a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures include (but are not limited to) assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policy for revenue recognition, evaluating and testing the effectiveness of internal control relating to the timing of revenue recognition, analyzing the reasonableness of gross margin by products, performing cutoff testing for a period before and after the balance sheet date on a sampling basis, performing test of details on selected samples, reviewing the significant terms of sales agreements and examining relevant delivery documents, and reviewing the selected samples of the quantity, specification, period and relevant documents of machinery services.
We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosures of sales. Please refer to Note 4 and Note 6 in notes to the financial statements.
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 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 the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
-25-
==> picture [70 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 auditor’s 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 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of 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 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 King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-26-
==> picture [71 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
-
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 King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. 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 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 King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. 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 parent company only financial information of the entities or business activities within King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. to express an opinion on the 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.
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 2023 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.

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese
Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 and became effectively by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries 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. 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 2023 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.
Revenue recognition
King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries recognized NT$33,025,307 thousand as net sales. Its main activities are providing testing and assembly services that represented 85%, or NT$28,174,680 thousand in the amount, of the net operating revenue.
Since the primary activities of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries are providing testing and assembly services, and the services comprise various wafers/integrated circuits testing and assembly processing and rental of machinery, timing of revenue recognition may vary due to varied nature of revenue that increases the complexity of the revenue recognition. Therefore, we determined the matter to be a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures include (but are not limited to) assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policy for revenue recognition, evaluating and testing the effectiveness of internal control relating to the timing of revenue recognition, analyzing the reasonableness of gross profit margin by products, performing cutoff testing for a period before and after the balance sheet date on a sampling basis, performing test of details on selected samples, reviewing the significant terms of sales agreements and examining relevant delivery documents, and reviewing the selected samples of the quantity, specification, period and relevant documents of machinery services.
We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosures of sales. Please refer to Note 4 and Note 6 in notes to the consolidated financial statements.
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 the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
-35-
==> picture [70 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
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 auditor’s 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 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 consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of 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 internal control of King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-36-
==> picture [71 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
-
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 King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries. 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 King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated 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 King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries 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.
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 2023 consolidated 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.
