PANJIT International Inc.

Annual Business Report

Market News

In 2023, amid the dual pressures of inflation and interest rate hikes in global economy, and with the challenge of de-stocking, the demand for consumer markets and computer applications decreased significantly, a change that had a significant impact on the power semiconductor industry. Compared to the consumer market, the automotive market performed relatively robustly, especially the electric vehicle market, which benefited from the global trend of net-zero emissions and showed strong growth initially with the support of government policies and subsidies, but the growth of the electric vehicle market began to slow down in the middle of the year in the face of the difficulty of oversupply in the market; fortunately, green energy applications, especially the solar energy market, continued to grow throughout the year.

In summary, although the power semiconductor industry experienced downward pressure in some markets in 2023, the initial growth of the electric vehicle market and the continued prosperity of green energy applications demonstrated the industry's resilience and potential for innovation in a diverse marketplace, and these positive developments provided the steady momentum for the industry growth.

Corporate Development

Core Technologies:

With years of experience in high power component technology, PANJIT continues to focus on core technology development of MOSFETs, IGBTs and SiC components to meet the market demand for high efficiency and low power consumption products. The SiC Diode, low and medium voltage SGT MOSFET and Super Junction MOSFET series released in recent years have not only enriched the product lineup, but also laid a solid foundation for upcoming advanced technologies such as Field Stop Trench IGBT and SiC MOSFET. In addition, the 8-inch fab has proven its excellent stability and performance in the pilot production stage of Super Junction MOSFETs and IGBTs, all of which have significantly enhanced the company's competitiveness in the high-end market.

PANJIT will continue to invest in research and development of critical process technologies. We firmly believe that only through continuous technological innovation can we provide our customers with the advanced product solutions of higher quality and further expand our market presence.

Market Planning:

PANJIT has achieved significant results in the strategic layout of the automotive market. Through

comprehensive product design and real-time technical support, it provided customers with fast and complete

~ 7 ~

solutions, thus consolidating its market position. The number of new product certifications increased steadily and the company won important orders from major international manufacturers, which had a positive impact on revenue growth. In the industrial and power supply markets, PANJIT actively cooperated with industry leaders and end customers to establish a layout plan in this field through high-power component solutions. These partnerships have not only enhanced PANJIT's influence in the industry chain, but also laid a solid foundation for the company's future development. In addition, through strategic mergers and acquisitions, we have injected diversified solutions into our market deployment and pioneered new modes of cross-domain cooperation. These initiatives have enhanced PANJIT's ability to respond to market dynamics and given it new impetus to achieve its long-term development goals.

Financial Performance

In 2023, consolidated revenue was NT$12.7 billion, and consolidated operating gross profit was NT$3.2 billion. The Company's 2023 consolidated operating income was NT$830 million. Based on the above information, the consolidated net profit per share in 2023 was NT$2.15.

Regarding the cash dividend, the Board of Directors approved the allotment of NT$1.2 per share.

Future Prospects

PANJIT is committed to maintaining its leading position in the power semiconductor industry. Through the strategic layout of new products, new markets, and new applications, as well as the continuous investment in the research and development of its own high-efficiency product core technologies, it maintains the future growth momentum to gradually realize its vision of becoming a power semiconductor IDM factory in Taiwan. PANJIT's development strategy focuses on two main axes: first, to deepen the layout of the automotive market, especially in the application of electric vehicles, and work hand in hand with end customers by providing innovative solutions; second, to respond to the challenges of climate change, we proactively expand the layout of high-efficiency products in the new energy fields such as charging piles, energy storage systems, and solar energy, and deeply root ESG responsibilities into the core of the company's operations. In addition, we have strengthened our ties with our supply chain partners to ensure stable business development and respond to market fluctuations. The above strategies aim to expand market share and lay a solid foundation for the company's sustainable development. We are confident in the future and look forward to creating greater value for shareholders, customers and society through continuous innovation, strategic cooperation and responsible governance.

Annex III

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, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023, and 2022.

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 2023 and 2022, and their parent company only financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 2022, 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 Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 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 2023 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.

~10~

Revenue recognition

The operating revenues of the Company amounted to NT$7,889,882 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2023. 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; testing general journal entry, performing cutoff procedures, 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 parent company only financial statements.

Evaluation of Inventories

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s net inventories amounted to NT$1,656,195 thousand, constituting 7% 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 inventories 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 parent company only financial statements.

~11~

Other matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors

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$1,567,662 thousand and NT$1,575,688 thousand, constituting 6% and 6% of total assets as of 31 December 2023 and 2022, respectively. The related shares of profits from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method of NT$107,503 thousand and NT$81,531 thousand, constituting 12% 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$9,948) thousand and NT$5,985 thousand, constituting 1% and 4% of other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2023 and 2022, 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.

~12~

As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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 internal control of the Company.

  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 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

~13~

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 2023 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.

Annex IV

Independent Auditor’s Report

To: PANJIT International Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PANJIT INTERNATIONAL INC. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 2022, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).

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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2023 and 2022, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 2022, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by 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 and its subsidiaries 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 2023 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

~20~

1. Revenue Recognition

The consolidated operating revenues of the Company and its subsidiaries amounted to NT$12,707,319 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2023. 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 consolidated financial statements.

2. Evaluation of Inventories

As of 31 December 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries’ net inventories amounted to NT$3,006,980 thousand, constituting 10% of consolidated 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 consolidated 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 inventories 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 consolidated financial statements.

~21~

Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors

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$1,567,662 thousand and NT$1,575,688 thousand, constituting 5% and 5% of consolidated total assets as of 31 December 2023 and 2022, respectively. The related shares of profits from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method of NT$107,503 thousand and NT$81,531 thousand, constituting 9% and 4% of consolidated pretax income, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method of (NT$9,948) thousand and NT$5,985 thousand, constituting 1% and 3% of consolidated other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2023 and 2022, 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 Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries 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 and its subsidiaries.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of 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 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.

~22~

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:

  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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

  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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company and its subsidiaries 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.

~23~

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2023 consolidated 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.

Others

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion including an Other Matter Paragraph on the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 2022.

Article 12 (Calculation of voting shares and recusal system) Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares. With respect to resolutions of shareholders’ meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares. When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Company, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder. The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders. Except for a stock agency approved by a trusted enterprise or the securities regulatory authority, when one person is entrusted by two or more shareholders at the same time, the voting rights of the proxy shall not exceed 3% of the total voting rights of the issued shares. The excess voting rights shall not be counted.

Article 13 A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted or deemed non-voting shares under Paragraph 2, Article 179 of the Company Act. When the Company holds a shareholders meeting, it shall allow the shareholders to exercise voting rights in writing or electronically. A shareholder exercising voting rights in writing or electronically will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person. But will be deemed to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extempore motions and revisions to the original proposals of that meeting. A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights in writing or electronically under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company 2 days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail. Except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent. After a shareholder has exercised voting rights in writing or electronically, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders' meeting in person or online, he/she shall use the same mean by which the voting rights were

~ 43 ~

exercised to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph 2 days before the date of the shareholders' meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised in writing or electronically shall prevail. When a shareholder exercises voting rights in writing or electronically and appoints a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting by the letter of appointment, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.

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. At the time of voting, the shareholders shall vote, and after the shareholders meeting is held, the results of shareholders' approval, opposition, and abstention shall be entered into the Market Observation Post System. When there is an amendment or an alternative to the same proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote.

When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
