Appendix 1

2021 Business Report

Ladies and Gentlemen, how are you?

2021 marked a second year in a row that the world was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Countries continued to suffer from the breakout of the variant of the virus Omicron. As people started to get vaccinated against COVID-19 around the world, lockdowns in Europe and the US were removed one after another to drive demand on the global market. Thanks to the application of emerging technologies and the diffusion effect of contact-free business opportunities, investments and the import/export trade continued to grow in Taiwan. Over the past year, with “expansion” as our operational focus, we managed to cooperate with first-rate enterprises in the world (in the semiconductor, photoelectricity, and electronics sectors) in order to broaden our horizon and improve our R&D and quality levels. The combined net revenue in 2021 came to NTD 9,861,000,000 and the combined after-tax net profit was NTD 530,000,000; the basic after-tax earnings per share was NTD 2.70.

For 2022, as the vaccination coverage rate climbs around the world, the impacts of the pandemic on the real economy are dying out. Recently, however, developed economies started to make a turn in their monetary policy. As a result, the financial relief effects are also diminishing. Emerging economies are caught in stress. Devoted to being “smart and durable,” the operational focus of 2022, we will be developing “energysaving, reliable, and durable” automated systems and equipment featuring “digital technology, virtual-reality integration, artificial intelligence, and focus on informational security” and managing to become an indispensable partner to first-rate corporations in the world in an effort to fulfill the goal of “allied co-existence and joint growth.”

The following is a report of the Company’s 2021 operational performance and 2022 business prospect:

  • I. 2021 Business Report

  • Achievements in Implementing Business Plans:

In 2021, the combined net revenue came to NTD 9,861,000,000, a growth of 10.69% from the previous year; the combined after-tax net profit was NTD 530,000,000, a growth of 3.51% from the previous year on, down 3.51% from the previous year; and the basic after-tax earnings per share was NTD 2.70, a growth of NTD 0.07 from the previous year mainly because of the Company’s operational focus on “expansion” and the improved R&D and quality levels, contributing to the system integration planning and overall undertaking capabilities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Mirle Automation Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Mirle Automation Corporation (the “Corporation”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant 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 most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matter of the Corporation’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is described as follows:

The Corporation is mainly engaged in the design, development, production and sale of medical equipment and its components, and provides after-sales services for these products. The Corporation also develops and sells software and databases used in automation equipment, and

15

provides construction planning, installation, consulting and maintenance services for the above products.

Construction contract revenue is the Corporation’s major source of revenue (accounting for about 74% of total revenue). According to the International Financial Reporting Standards, construction contract revenue should be recognized based on the percentage of completion method. If the contract is expected to incur losses, the total loss should be recognized all at once.

Due to the fact that the contract or order may be started before the contract or order is confirmed, and the revenue will be recognized in advance according to the percentage of completion of the job, there is a risk that the amount of revenue recognized is incorrect; therefore, we considered the authenticity of the contract or order as a significant risk and deemed it as a key audit matter. Please refer to Notes 4 and 21 of the financial statements for the relevant accounting policies on revenue.

The audit procedures performed in response to the aforementioned key audit matter are as follows:

  1. We understood the internal controls of the contracts and orders, and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls.

  2. We confirmed that the recognized construction contract revenue is based on actual contracts or orders.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation’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 Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the supervisor, are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards

16

generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in 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 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 Corporation’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by 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 Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Corporation to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or

17

when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are MeiChen Tsai and Ming Hui Chen.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Mirle Automation Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Mirle Automation Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant 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 most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matter of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is described as follows:

The Group is mainly engaged in the design, development, production and sale of medical equipment and its components, and provides after-sales services for these products. The Group also develops and sells software and databases used in automation equipment, and provides construction planning, installation, consulting and maintenance services for the above products.

Construction contract revenue is the Group’s major source of revenue (accounting for about 72% of total revenue). According to the International Financial Reporting Standards, construction contract revenue should be recognized based on the percentage of completion method. If the contract is expected to incur losses, the total loss should be recognized all at once.

25

Due to the fact that the contract or order may be started before the contract or order is confirmed, and the revenue will be recognized in advance according to the percentage of completion of the job, there is a risk that the amount of revenue recognized is incorrect; therefore, we considered the authenticity of the contract or order as a significant risk and deemed it as a key audit matter. Please refer to Notes 4 and 23 of the consolidated financial statements for the relevant accounting policies on revenue.

The audit procedures performed in response to the aforementioned key audit matter are as follows:

  1. We understood the internal controls of the contracts and orders, and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls.

  2. We confirmed that the recognized construction contract revenue is based on actual contracts or orders.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Mirle Automation Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and 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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the supervisor, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in 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.

26

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

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

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. 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.

  5. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are MeiChen Tsai and Ming Hui Chen.
