Loop Telecommunication International, Inc.

2022 Business Report

In 2022, with uncertainties derived from the continuation of the war and geopolitics, there were material impacts on production capacity and operating income as the issues of lacking crucial parts and components, the delay in shipping schedule of different countries, lack of containers, and port congestion could not be solved effectively. Due to the US-China trade war and changes in the international environments, together with inflation, interest rate, and other macroeconomic factors, the communication industry was under effect; the growth recorded in the emerging market was not as expected, and the market turned to conservatism, affecting the operating income of the Company last year. Fortunately, Loop Telecommunication made appropriate responses and responded to the transformation of the industry pattern in advance, and our long-established brand was highly recognized. In recent years, we have promoted the use of MCC (Mission Critical Communication) in particular application fields, and there was a breakthrough reflected in our profit margin and overall performance. Facing the ever-changing market revolution, the Company will achieve the objective of low-cost and high performance through effective resource management and perform product transformation to become a contractor for value-added MCC solutions, which will have significant effects on the increase in subsequent operating income.

The consolidated revenue of the Company throughout the year was NT$438,242 thousand, representing a decrease of 15% from 2021; net income was NT$67,403 thousand, and earnings per share were NT$0.95. Profit margin of Loop Telecommunication has been maintained stably above 50%, which is a relatively outstanding performance in the network and communication industry. With the effects achieved through focusing on the market in Taiwan and the continual growth in different regions, Loop Telecommunication has adopted global sales and arrangements, and the regional ratio of the overall revenue will become more comprehensive. In addition, we maintained favorable performance in terms of financial structure, solvency, accounts receivable turnover, and other financial indicators.

Regarding our business, there were 52 countries having business dealings with the Company worldwide last year. Our export sales accounted for approximately 70% of the operating income throughout the year. In particular, we recorded growth in America, the EU, and Southeast Asia. For the market in Taiwan, the project has proceed to the next stage, and there has been a slight decrease for the Indian market. In terms of industry, electricity and governmental agencies account for 70% of our total revenue, and transportation and private corporate markets account for approximately 15%. In 2022, 80% of our operating income was from 13% of countries having dealings with us. Among all 32 product lines, 80% of the revenue was from 10% of the sales products. With the stabilization of the outbreak, it is likely to maintain the growth in the European and American region as in prior years, and the market in Southeast Asia also recovered. We continued to develop emerging markets to flexibly satisfy customers’ requirements. Loop Telecommunication has long been cooperating with large-scale international SI companies to develop new markets and promote the MCC market, which is deemed as the market driver under the trend of the new norms.

In 2013, Loop commenced its strategic transformation, strongly promoted mission-critical solutions, and successfully entered multiple domestic and foreign markets in recent years. As the bandwidth hungry applications in the mission-critical communication (MCC) network continued to increase, TDM-based network backbone is gradually replaced by Packet-based one. Facing the transition period from existing technologies to new technologies, the provision of the new generation packet transport network technologies and concurrently accessing the existing Legacy services have become the solutions most required by MCC users. Loop’s product line includes over 60 products, and it has been committed to the R&D of new products (i.e., G7860A, WDM1800, O9400-PTN10G, O9500-PTN10G, and other mixed service multiplexers for the abovementioned requirements. Meanwhile, it also upgraded the access service product line (AM3440-CCPB, IP6704A, and G7820) and developed Loop proprietary ultra-low latency and zero-packet-loss protection switching technologies to solve two major hindrances faced by MCC users in terms of the packet transport network. Combining the network management system with point-to-point circuit management capability.

The Loop-G7800 product line, the key development project of the Company for the year (2023), will be the highlight in the future. Loop-G7800 supports 100G optical transmission and possesses 400G exchange capacity, which significantly improves the backbone transmission bandwidth for customers. G7800 integrates Loop’s self-owned FPGA development capacity with various traditional TDM and the new generation L2/L2.5/L3 packet transport network technologies. Apart from being the backbone node, G7800 can also serve as the gateway for PDH/SDH/SONET/PTN network. The Nx64K nterface card used over the years for AM3440 and O9500 may be used on the G7800 system platform, and Loop has also developed over ten kinds of nterface cards for multiple speeds that support SDH/SONET/MPLS-TP/Carrier Ethernet. 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 inquiring about the formal launch of G7800. It is expected that the Loop-G7800 product line will become the next-generation star product to force into the MCC market.

Except for the major backbone and access network product series used worldwide, Loop has explored ISS, AI, 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. Loop has obtained the ISO27001 information security certification and performed a firmware upgrade for different products catering to the MCC market to support FIPS 140-3. Meanwhile, the Company also plans to launch the Loop-ISS2180 mission-critical network firewall and Loop-ISS2110 government configuration baseline network setting management system to assist customers in establishing the optimized MCC information security protection environment.

Looking into the year ahead, the Company will continue to launch the following products and services.

  1. Primarily used in the MCC market

  2. General access aggregation multiplexer

  3. Cross connection and access multiplexer

  4. SDH/SONET-MPLS mixed transmission equipment

  5. L2/CE/L3/MPLS carrier grade packet-switching equipment

  6. Solutions primarily used in the conversion from TDM transmission to packet switching transmission

  7. TDM over Ethernet (TDMoE)

  8. Solutions primarily used in exclusive MCC’s 5G for enterprises

  9. MCC 5G-CPE and 5G CPE corporate core network service

  10. Information security solutions primarily used in new-generation corporate offices

  11. New era corporate LAN equipment

  12. IIoT and video monitoring equipment

  13. OT operating technology information security equipment

The MCC market is enormous, and it requires customized overall solutions. At present, many countries have initiated dedicated acts for infrastructure. For the strategies in the future market, Loop’s network transmission equipment and solutions are highly competitive, and it has become one of a few overall solution providers that can integrate optical communication, Ethernet transmission, multiprotocol label switching(MPLS) transmission, and dense wavelength division multiplexing(DWDM) worldwide with international partners and local system integration suppliers; it has successfully transformed into a communication and information system integration supplier and occupies a leading position in the MCC overall solution market. Next, the Company will expand its market development team and improve its income from vertical integration maintenance services. It will commit to becoming a one-stop MCC network solution provider and entering the global market through close cooperation with partners worldwide with continual growing momentum continues.

Regarding the marketing strategy for sharing the experience of the successful new backbone transmission case of Loop Telecommunication with the international society, it may develop new customers and spare no effort in creating critical new customer groups within three years; it is believed that the strategy will bring more orders and potential tenders for our layout. Combining the MCC networking product portfolio under the new business and the niche of various products, it is likely to become the growth focus for operations in the future. At present, Loop Telecommunication is one of the top three companies for MCC solutions around the world. Based on the existing foundation, the Company continues to reinforce its management and makes constant efforts by adhering to the philosophy of continuing to develop new products and explore new markets. In the future, the Company will become a leader, grasp business opportunities, create excellent performance, and continues to strive for the maximized operating performance for all shareholders.

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, 2022 and 2021, 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 significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of theCompany for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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, 2022 is stated as follows:

Revenue sources

  1. The major 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 2022 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.

  2. 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, 2022 and 2021 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 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 ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including members of the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company 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:

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

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 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.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including the disclosures) and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient 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~~s~~ 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, 2022 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

Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Loop Telecommunication International, Inc.,

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheet of Loop Telecommunication International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies).

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the accompanying parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 andAttestation 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, 2022. 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.

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

Revenue recognition

  1. 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 2022 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.

  2. 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 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:

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

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 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.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements (including the disclosures ) and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient 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 relevantethical 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, 2022 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.
