The Company’s 2021 operating margin, net operating income, non-operating income and expenses, net income are explained as follows:
- I. Operating margin, net operating income (loss):
In 2021, the Semiconductor Group derived more operating revenue than in 2020. This is because global demands for memory grew; the demand for packaging boomed, mainly due to the multifacet growth in down-stream applications, e.g., 5G, AI, network communication, and electric cars; immense business opportunities came with the eruption of cloud computing and remote work - after two years of post pandemic shock,- typically due to the introduction of SSD into the applications such as notebook computers, data centers, and servers to accelerate their speed; and the packaging price increased. In addition, the increase in orders improved the capacity utilization rate such that economies of scale was attained, which in turn lowered the unit labor cost and unit manufacturing overheads and therefore pushed up the gross profit and net operating profit for the
- 7 -
current period.
The Electronics Manufacturing Services Group’s sales revenue declined in 2021 compared with 2020, mainly because shipments of high-end servers decreased and the proportion of sales revenue from processing-on-order customers also decreased, causing direct materials cost to decrease and therefore the gross profit and net operating revenue to increase.
In summary, in 2020, operating revenue decreased by 15.13%; operating cost decreased by 1.09%; gross operating profit decreased by 321.13%; and net operating profit decreased by 1,108.59% compared with the previous year.
-
II. Non-operating income and (expenses):
-
(1) Recognized investment gains increased by 108.48% due to the increase in profits of investees recognized under the equity method.
-
(2) Foreign exchange losses declined by 40.41% due to the less-depreciated US dollars in 2021 compared with 2020.
-
(3) Finance cost decreased by 56.83% compared with last year due to the Company’s continuous efforts to maintain a sound capital structure.
In summary, operating revenue increased by 210% from last year’s level
- III. The future business strategy will focus on continuing to refine our product portfolio and strive to aggressively expand our revenue base, increase our utilization rate, and reduce costs.

The Effect of External Competition, the Legal Environment, and the Overall Business Environment
According to a recent IEK report, although global economic recovery slowed down due to the continuous effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, global semiconductor market substantially grew in 2021, mainly due to soaring global demands for terminal electronic products driven by globalization and 0-touch economy. The global semiconductor market was valued at US$614 billion in 2021, with performance up about 25% compared to 2020. According to IEK research, global semiconductor production value for 2022, driven by digital transformation and thriving new applications, will reach US$680.6 billion, up by roughly 11%, a rare double-digit growth in three consecutive years. The global outbreak of the COVID-19 caused a halt to global economic and industrial activities, but Taiwan maintained somewhat normal operations due to successful pandemic prevention activities, and more than 90% of the production of Taiwan's semiconductor industry is located in Taiwan, with only 1% in the overseas. Plus the rising market demand for semiconductors, the production value of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry as a whole reached NT$4.1 trillion in 2021, up roughly by 25.9% from 2020. An additional growth of 12% is expected for 2022, which will push the figure further to NT$4.5 trillion.
To follow the development trend of electronic products, the Company will focus on niche-oriented products to avoid price competition and affecting the profit. With the popularity of smartphone devices and the demand increase of AI Big Data management, eMMC and Flash BGA will still be the main products for Flash memory application in the future. The Company will collaborate with the main memory industry chain and channel firms all over the world to continue developing the manufacturing services of all the Flash memory applications via the current advantages in the manufacturing platform.
Furthermore, with the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation worsening day by day, the recovery rate of workers in EMS Unit going back to work in China is poor and it is expected that the subsequent supply of materials from some places will be affected; with the continuous spread of the virus in Europe, USA and Middle East, many countries have imposed various prevention measures such as a lockdown or travel ban. It is anticipated that it will cause a significant degree of impact which will further affect the demand of many customers.
In the first half of 2020, the Company's operations were affected by the disruption of the COVID-19, delayed demand in the memory market, and reduced efficiency of EMS switching orders, resulting in a weak performance in the first half of the year. Since the second half of the year, the market has been experiencing tight supply of packaging capacity, mainly due to the COVID-19 triggered stay-at-home economy, and maintained a strong demand for NB and game consoles. Secondly, after the U.S.-China trade war, the regional economic situation has taken shape, and the mainland system makers have gradually shifted some of their semiconductor chips to Taiwan for orders, and with the rebound in market demand, the third quarter has turned a loss into a profit. In the future, the company will provide new services to existing customers due to better order visibility, price increase driven by market demand, and strategic partnership with CHIPBOND TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, which is expected to show benefits in the second half of the year, and will drive the momentum of the packaging and testing business, and help the operation to resume growth. In this regard, the company continues to invest in CSP BGA market development, improve production efficiency, and expand the market for Internet of Things and automotive electronics-related applications. By continuing to refine its product portfolio, the company aims to aggressively expand its revenue base, increase its crop rate, and strive to reduce costs.

Auditors’ 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 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in 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.
~16~
-
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 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 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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the parent company only financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 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.
~17~
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 of the current period 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Limited.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2021 , and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other matter section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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. Based on our audit and the report of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2021 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s 2021 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
~25~
Existence and occurrence of sales revenue recognition of top 10 customers
Description
Please refer to Note 4(32) for accounting policies on revenue recognition and Note 6(24) for details of operating revenue account.
The operating revenue of the Group mainly arises from customer contract income. The Group is primarily engaged in package and testing and electronic manufacturing service. Operating revenue is a main index which is used in assessment of the management’s operating performance and is a concern to users of the report. Because the sales revenue of top 10 customers represents a higher proportion of the whole operating revenue, we considered the existence of sales revenue recognition of top 10 customers as a key audit matter in the current year.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures performed included the following:
-
Understood, assessed and tested the design and execution of internal control procedures of top 10 customers’ sales revenue recognition.
-
Obtained the details of top 10 customers’ details of sales revenue and sampled customers’ orders, delivery bills, invoices and collection records.
-

Realisability of deferred tax assets
Description
Please refer to Note 4(30) of parent company only financial statements for details of accounting policies on the recognition of deferred income tax assets. As of December 31, 2021, the amount of the Company’s deferred income tax assets was NTD 1,205,821 thousand, please refer to Note 6(31) of parent company only financial statements for details.
~26~
Deferred income tax assets can only be recognised in the scope of being used in possibly offseting the taxable income in the future. The forecasted income statements which was used in the assessment of realisability of deferred income tax assets in the future and potential taxable income involved subjective judgment of management. We considered that the aforementioned judgment involved the forecast of subsequent years, and the assessment result is material to taxable income. Thus, we considered the realisability of deferred income tax assets as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures performed on the realisability of deferred income tax assets included the following:
1. Obtained future operating plan and forecasted income statements which were approved by management.
2. Examined the estimates in the forecasted income statements and compared that with historical result, and assessed the reasonableness of related assumptions which were adopted.
3. Compared taxable income in the future years with taxable loss in the past years and assessed the realisability of deferred income tax assets.
Other matter – Reference to the audits of other auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries which were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these subsidiaries and associates, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. Total assets of these subsidiaries amounted to NT$569,532 thousand, constituting 3.35% of the consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2021, and the operating revenue amounted to NT$0 thousand, constituting 0% of the consolidated total operating revenue for the year then ended.
Other matter - Prior financial statements were audited by other auditors
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2020, were audited by other auditors. On March 10, 2021, some subsidiaries’ financial statements which were included in the consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors who expressed unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.
~27~
Other matter – Parent company only financial statements
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements of Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the 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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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 audit committee, 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 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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.
~28~
As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in 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 Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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.
-
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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the 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.
~29~
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 of the current year 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.
