Loop Telecommunication International, Inc. 2023 Business Report
In 2023, apart from the United States and the United Kingdom, various countries in European successively launched the national infrastructure upgrade plans in response to the changing market dynamics. Additionally, there was an increasing demand for upgraded internet speeds, driven by emerging AI applications and corporate market needs. These factors contributed to the rising penetration rate of high-speed networking equipment, which boded well for the revenue of Taiwan’s Network Communication Equipment industry. Loop Telecommunication responded to the transformation of the industry pattern and our long-established brand has obtained fruitful results in being highly recognized, which has been reflected in breakthroughs of revenue, gross profit, and the overall performance. Facing the ever-changing market revolution, the product has been successfully transformed into a contractor for value-added MCC solutions in recent years, which will have significant effects on the increase in subsequent operating income.
The consolidated revenue of the Company throughout the year was NT$649,097 thousand, representing a growth of 48% from 2022; net income was NT$199,659 thousand, and earnings per share were NT$3.00. Since 2019, the profit margin of Loop Telecommunication has been maintained stably above 50%. Due to the promotion of infrastructure construction in the European and American markets, the continuous growth of emerging markets and the results of deep cultivation in the Taiwan market being reflected, the profit margin, operating profit margin and net profit margin have reached a record high over the years. A good result of growth in all three aspects was shown, which is quite amazing in the Networking Communication industry. In addition, we maintained favorable performance in terms of financial structure, solvency, accounts receivable turnover, and other financial indicators.
Regarding our business, there were 46 countries having business dealings with the Company worldwide last year. Export sales accounted for about 70% of the operating income throughout the year. Of which, there was significant growth in Americans, the European Union and Taiwan market, while India and the Middle East declined slightly. In terms of industry, electricity and government agencies accounted for 70% of the total revenue, and the transportation and private corporate market accounted for about 20%. In 2023, 80% of our operating income was from 9% of countries having dealings with us. Among all 27 product lines, 80% of the revenue was from 12% of the sales products. With the good prospects of the communication market, Loop Telecommunication has long cooperated with international SI factory. Europe and the United States are expected to continue to grow, and the domestic market has entered the next stage of development. The Southeast Asian market has been on recovery one by one and we have continue to develop emerging markets. Our active developments of next generation communication technology to flexibly meet customer demand will be regarded as the growth momentum under the new trend.
In recent years, Loop Telecommunication has developed mission-critical communications (MCC) solutions and successfully transformed its product strategy into a number of important infrastructure markets at home and abroad. Presently, most of the mission-critical backbone network infrastructure constructions based on SDH/SONET technology are about to be replaced.
6
The technology needs to be upgraded to MPLS-TP based transmission network to replace the SDH/SONET based TDM technology to meet the high frequency bandwidth requirements service. Therefore, it is expected that the mission-critical backbone network is bound to enter a new wave of replacement tide in the next 5-10 years. In response to the rapidly changing market need, Loop Telecommunication’s product line includes more than 30 products, and continues to expand the new features of new products such as G7860A, WDM1800, O9400-PTN10G, O9500-PTN10G and other mixed service multiplex equipment that provide a good transformation solution for customers in the growing pains of old and new backbone transmission communication technology conversion. Meanwhile, it enables customers to perform end-to-end circuit management in the new generation packet transport network through a network management system similar to the concept of TDM network, saving customers the potential cost of maintenance operations personnel training. Additionally, we have developed our own ultra-low latency zero-packet-loss protection switching technology for the access service product line (AM3440, IP6704A), which can solve the main hindrances that mission-critical users will encounter when facing the transition from backbone technology to packet transmission network, such as uncontrollable delay variation and asymmetric delay, etc. On the basis of these innovative technologies, Loop Telecommunication’s all-round upgrade from transmission backbone and service access to network management system will provide customers with a total solution for dozens of MCC backbone networks to the access end.
This year, the Company’s key development project is the flagship Loop-G7800, which is a new generation of PTN high-bandwidth multi-function transmission access equipment, and a highlight of Loop Telecommunication strongly entry into the MCC market. Loop-G7800 is based on the Company’s years of accumulation and continuous innovation of technology. The company has also invested in a large amount of cost to develop open-source management integrated automated test platform to improve quality control at all stages from R&D to production. We have also developed more than a dozen types of interface cards that support service multiple speeds. Apart from serving as a backbone node, G7800 can support 100G packet transmission network interfaces from traditional low-speed 64K circuits to the next generation of mission-critical backbone requirement on a single system, and can be configured according to customers’ applications. The comprehensive feature allows customers to have more flexibility for network planning in the future; regardless of phased budgeting projects increased based on requirements or the new era overall transmission network solutions that wish to be settled at one go, the Loop-G7800 product line will be able to satisfy such customers. At present, multiple partners have been actively inquring about the release of G7800.
Except for the major backbone and access network product series used worldwide, Loop Telecommunication has explored Information Security System (ISS), Artificial Intellence Solution (AI Solution), iNMS-Big Data Analysis/AI, Automatic System Diagnosis and Repair, iNET-Circuit Creation/ Auto-Diagnostic, Corporate New Era Office Network, Corporate 5G Private Network, and other new technologies in recent years to expand into new markets of corporate and governmental information security network overall solution development. In recent years, due to frequent information security events, the requirements for information security of corporations and the government have been increasing.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and 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 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 the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants 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 the most
11
significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 is stated as follows:
Revenue recognition
-
The major revenue sources of the Company includes the production and sales of user remote line disconnectors, high-speed network access equipment, smart network resource management selectors, and other relevant products. As revenue has material effects on the 2023 consolidated financial statements of Loop Telecommunication International, Inc., revenue recognition involves manual control operations, and there are risks related to sales counterparties and the authenticity of transactions due to the significant growth in the revenue from partial customers, we have identified the revenue recognition as a key audit matter. For the accounting policies of revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4.(12) to the consolidated financial statements.
-
In response to the abovementioned risks, we have performed the following audit procedures:
-
(1) Understand and test the internal control systems and procedures related to the cycle of sales transactions to identify and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal control procedures involved in making sales transactions.
-
(2) Sample whether internal orders are approved by the responsible supervisor.
-
(3) Sample whether external orders and transportation documents have been obtained for revenue recognition and whether the amount and the invoiced amount are consistent.
-
(4) Sample whether the amount of collection after the period for relevant sales income transactions, remittance certificates, and counterparties is consistent with the amount of revenue recognition and counterparties.
Other matters
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Loop Telecommunication International, Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated
12
financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the 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 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’s 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.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. 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 Company’s internal control.
13
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the 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 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 Company 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 Company 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 determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 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
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheet of Loop Telecommunication International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 accompanying parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only 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 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 parent company only Financial Statements section of our report. We comply with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China and independent of the Company. We have also 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 parent company only financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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.
22
Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 is stated as follows:
Revenue recognition
-
The major revenue sources of Company includes the production and sales of user remote line disconnectors, high-speed network access equipment, smart network resource management selectors, and other relevant products. As revenue has material effects on the 2023 parent company only financial statements of Loop Telecommunication International, Inc., revenue recognition involves manual control operations, and there are risks related to sales counterparties and the authenticity of transactions due to the significant growth in the revenue from partial customers, we have identified the revenue recognition as a key audit matter. For the accounting policies of revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4.(12) to the parent company only financial statements.
-
In response to the abovementioned risks, we have performed the following audit procedures:
-
(1) Understand and test the internal control systems and procedures related to the cycle of sales transactions to identify and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal control procedures involved in making sales transactions.
-
(2) Sample whether internal orders are approved by the responsible supervisor.
-
(3) Sample whether external orders and transportation documents have been obtained for revenue recognition and whether the amount and the invoiced amount are consistent.
(4) Sample whether the amount of collection after the period for relevant sales income transactions, remittance certificates, and counterparties is consistent with the amount of revenue recognition and counterparties.
Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual 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 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
23
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 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 the parent company only 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 Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the 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
24
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 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 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.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinions 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.
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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 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.

VIII. The chairperson shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chairperson may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. If the
40
quorum is not met after two postponements, but the attending shareholders represent one-third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to paragraph 1, Article 175 of the Company Act. When, prior to the conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chairperson may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders’ meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act. IX. If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board, the meeting agenda shall be set by the Board. The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders’ meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the Board. The chairperson may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to the completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extempore motions). After the adjournment of the meeting, shareholders may not otherwise elect a chairperson to continue the meeting at the initial venue or another venue. However, if the chairperson declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the Rules of Procedure, the attending shareholders may elect a new chairperson in accordance with statutory procedures by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders and then continue the meeting.
X. Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chairperson. A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail. When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chairperson and the shareholder that has the floor; the chairperson shall stop any violation.

When the chairperson is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chairperson may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote. XVI.

XVII. When a meeting is in progress, the chairperson may announce a break based on time considerations. XVIII. Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. For the vote, if the chairperson has made inquiries to attending shareholders and no dissenting opinion is raised, it shall be deemed approved by all shareholders. If there is any dissenting opinion, the chairperson may deem the number of votes of the attending shareholders less the number of votes of shareholders with dissenting opinions as the number of votes for the proposal, and if the number exceeds the number of votes required, the proposal shall be deemed as approved. The effects of the two voting methods above shall be equivalent to voting by ballots. The results of the votes shall be reported on-site, and minutes shall be made.
XIX. When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chairperson shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to the vote. When any among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required. XX.
