Annual Business Report
Market news
In 2022, the global economy faced pressure from inflation and interest rate hikes as well as the destocking, which led to a sharp decline in demand in the consumer market and a continued slowdown in demand for computer applications since the second quarter. Fortunately, compared to the weak demand in the consumer market, the electric vehicle market has benefited from the policies and subsidies of various countries, and the sales volume has been growing at a high rate against the trend. Among them, the growth of the pure electric vehicles is the most significant. The electric vehicle market has become the focus of many supply chain systems. In the inverter market related to green energy, the market still maintains a strong demand due to insufficient supply of key components IGBT. In terms of new technology, SiC also has potential for development in inverter applications. However, due to the strong demand for SiC from electric vehicles, the market price remains high, and it is still time for SiC MOSFET to enter the inverter market.
Corporate development
Core technologies:
PANJIT continues to use the medium- and long-term high power components (MOSFET, IGBT, SiC) and has successively promoted the listed SiC Diode, MV and LV SGT MOSFET and Super Junction MOSFET, which leads the development of FST IGBT and SiC MOSFET technical platforms and expand the target application market. In addition, the 8” Super Junction MOSFET/IGBT) showed stable and high efficiency in the trial production stage. PANJIT will continue to input research and development resources to provide the improved high-end product solutions for the given target market.
Market planning:
PANJIT has deeply expanded the automotive market for a long time, providing customers with comprehensive product designs, timely technical support, and rapid solutions. In recent years, the number of new products passing certification has been growing annually, and they have successfully obtained orders from major international manufacturers. In the industrial and power supply markets, we actively cooperate with industry leaders and end customers to establish a layout
~10~
plan in this field through high-power component solutions. In addition, strategic acquisitions at the beginning of the year provide more diverse solutions and cross-disciplinary cooperation models for future market planning.
Financial performance
In 2022, consolidated revenue was NT$13.22 billion, and in 2022, consolidated operating gross profit was NT$3.99 billion. The Company's 2022 consolidated operating income was NT$1.63 billion. Based on the above information, the consolidated net profit per share in 2022 is NT$4.6. Regarding the cash dividend, the Board of Directors approved the allotment of NT$3.0 per share.
Future prospects
In order to continue our investment and strategy in the power semiconductor field and provide more complete power solutions through diversified product lines, PANJIT formulated two major development strategies: firstly, we will continue to cultivate the automotive market and provide solutions for electric vehicle-related applications to closely connect with end-users for stable supply and mutual growth; secondly, in response to the green energy-related applications arising from climate change, we will expand our product deployment for charging pile, energy storage system and solar energy. The above two major development axes are planned to respond to the current market demand and future market expansion, so as to achieve the long-term goal of increasing market share and sustainable development.

Annex 3
Independent Auditor’s Report
To: PANJIT INTERNATIONAL INC.
Opinion
We have audited the parent company only Balance Sheets of PANJIT INTERNATIONAL INC. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the parent company only Statements of Comprehensive Income, parent company only statements of changes in equity, parent company only statements of cash flows, and notes to parent company only financial statements (including summary of significant accounting policies) for the annual period from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Other Independent Accountants section of our report), the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2022 and 2021, and their parent company only financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2022 and 2021, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing 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 Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports 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 2022 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
~13~
Revenue recognition
The operating revenues of the Company amounted to $8,855,785 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2022. The main source of revenue is manufacturing and selling diodes. As the operation spanned globally and the product combination and pricing methods were diverse, judgment of the performance obligation and when it is satisfied was required. Therefore, we considered this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but are not limited to) assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policy of revenue recognition; testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls around revenue recognition by management, including identifying completeness of performance obligation of client contracts and the accounting treatment of the timing of revenue recognition; performing analytical procedures on gross margin by products and departments; selecting samples to perform test of details and reviewing significant terms and conditions of contracts; performing cutoff procedures, testing general journal entry, reviewing sales transaction certificates before and after the balance sheet date to verify that revenue has been recorded in the correct accounting period. Accordingly, evaluating the appropriateness of significant sales returns and rebates. In addition, we also considered the appropriateness of the disclosures of sales. Please refer to Notes 4 and 6 to the Company’s parent company only financial statements.
Evaluation of Inventories
As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s net inventories amounted to NT$2,042,902 thousand, constituting 8% of total assets which was then identified as material to financial statement. The status of inventory was difficult to manage due to various types of stocks stored across various locations including outsourced warehouses. Such inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Evaluation involves management’s significant accounting estimation and judgement, and the carrying amount of inventories is material to parent company only financial statements. Therefore we considered this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but are not limited to) assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policy of inventories evaluation; testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls around revenue recognition by management, including assessing the transfer of inventory cost, selecting major warehouse to observe physical stock taking to verify inventory quantity and status; and assessing the management's estimates of net realizable value by inventories evaluation, and selecting samples to verify related certificates to test the correctness of inventories aging interval; review whether obsolescence loss allowance was sufficient according to policy and assess the appropriateness of the provision policy. We also assessed the adequacy of disclosures of inventories. Please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 6 to the Company’s parent company only financial statements.
~14~
Other matters – Making Reference to the Audits of Other Independent Accountants
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investment accounted for under the equity method, which reflected the associates and joint ventures under equity method in the amount of NT$1,575,688 thousand and NT$1,574,237 thousand, constituting 6% and 7% of total assets as of 31 December 2022 and 2021, respectively. The related shares of profits from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method of NT$81,531 thousand and NT$92,457 thousand, constituting 4% and 4% of pretax income, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method of NT$5,985 thousand and (NT$3,467) thousand, constituting 4% and 2% of other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2022 and 2021, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants, whose reports there on have been furnished to us, and our audit results are based solely on the reports of the other independent accountants.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor’s 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 errors, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
~15~
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company.
-
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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause 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 accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the 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 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.
~16~
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 2022 the parent company only financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
