Business Report
The recovery of the global economy remained fragile in 2023. Although the interest rate hike cycle of major central banks neared its end, inflationary pressure continued to exist under the expectation that high interest rates in the US and Europe will persist for a period of time, which continued to suppress demand. At the same time, China's post-epidemic recovery was not as expected, and the industry continued to adjust inventory and decentralize manufacturing, leading to a challenging operating environment for the electronics manufacturing industry.
For Primax Electronics (“PRIMAX” or “the Company”), 2023 has been an important year for the Company’s steady transformation. Starting from our core Three-Senses-In-One product development, we have continually expanded strategic planning and investment for new businesses and technologies, optimizing product portfolios to expand into automotive electronics, surveillance and security, conference products, professional audio, smart home solutions and building automation. PRIMAX has also actively invested into edge computing and AI-related AIoT Product development.
With market demand not meeting expectations, PRIMAX has performed strict controls on costs, expenses, and capital expenditure in 2023, allowing our cash on hand to rapidly return to pre-pandemic levels. Thanks to excellent business administration and resilience, PRIMAX has reached new historic highs for its gross profit margin, operating income, and after-tax net-income margin in 2023. The Group’s overall cash flow has also grown exponentially, providing a strong backing for future transformation strategies.
In regards to ESG, PRIMAX continues to examine and improve its ESG operational efficiency through adhering to domestic and global sustainability indexes. In 2023, PRIMAX was honored in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2024 for the first time, receiving the "Industry Mover" recognition. In the CDP Climate Change Questionnaire run by the authoritative environmental non-profit organization CDP, PRIMAX was recognized as a “Leadership Level A” enterprise, standing out among 21,000 participating businesses. This shows the PRIMAX’s positive actions on global climate change issues and its leading performance in information disclosure transparency.
The following is an overview of the Company's 2023 performance.

� Schedule 4 �
Independent Auditors � Report
To the board of directors of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.:
Opinion
We have audited the parent company only financial statements of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.(�the Company�), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Financial Statement Audit and Attestation engagements of Certified Public Accountants and 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. 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 requirement. Based on our audits and the report of another auditor, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method. Those financial statements were audited by another auditor, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those investments, is based solely on the report of another auditor. The Company�s investment in these companies both constituting 14% of the total assets, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The related share of profit of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method amounted constituting 23% and 17% of the profit after tax, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. only financial statements of the current period. 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. In our professional judgments, key audit matters to be communicated in the independent auditors� report are listed below:
13
1. Evaluation of inventories
Please refer to note 4(g) �Inventories�, note 5 �Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty�, and note 6(e) �Inventories� of the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Inventories of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the fast high-tech revolution, as well as the advancement of production technologies that may lead the dramatic change in customers� demand, the net realizable value of inventories requires subjective judgments of the management, which is the major source of estimation uncertainty. Therefore, the evaluation of inventories is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the policies of evaluating the inventories of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.; inspecting whether existing inventory policies are applied; examining the accuracy of the aging of inventories by sampling and analyzing the changes of the aging of inventories; inspecting the reasonableness of the allowance provided for inventory valuation in the past and comparing it to the current year to ensure that the measurements and assumptions are appropriate.
- Investments accounted for using equity method
Please refer to note 4(h) �Investments in subsidiaries�, and note 5 �Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty� of the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Based on the scope and nature of their businesses of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.�s subsidiaries accounted for using equity method, the net realizable value of inventories in certain subsidiaries required the managements to make subjective judgments, which is the major source of estimation uncertainty and may influence the outcome of their operations. Therefore, the valuation of inventories of the subsidiaries accounted for using equity method is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
In 2014, PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. acquired Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. through its subsidiary, Diamond (Cayman) Holdings Ltd., the transaction resulted in the Company to recognize its goodwill, technologies, and customer relations, as intangible assets. The rapid industrial transformation and the assessment of impairment contained estimation uncertainty. Therefore, the assessment of impairment of intangible assets is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
For the principal audit procedures on the valuation of inventories of the investments accounted for using equity method, please refer to key audit matters 1. �Evaluation of inventories�. In addition, the consolidated financial statements of Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. and its subsidiaries were audited by other auditors; therefore, we issued audit instructions to their auditors as guidelines to communicate the key audit matters with them and obtained the feedbacks required in the audit instructions.
14
The principal audit procedures on the assessment of recoverable amount of the investments accounted for using equity method included: evaluating the identification of cash generating units and any indication of impairment made by management; acquiring impairment assessment reports from external expert engaged by the Company; reviewing the impairment assessment reports and assessing the reasonability of measurements, parameters, and assumptions; evaluating the operation outcomes and comparing them to the past forecasts; making sensitivity analysis for evaluation of impairment losses and evaluating the completeness of disclosure in the financial reports.
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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.�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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.�s financial reporting process.
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 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism. 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 Company�s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
15
-
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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.�s ability to continue as a going concern. 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. 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 and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investments in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this 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 of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.
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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. only financial statements of the current period 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors� report are SHYH-GANG HORNG and HUNG-WEN FU.

Independent Auditors � Report
To the Board of Directors of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statement 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 material accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 with the International Financial Reporting Standards (�IFRSs�), International Accounting Standards (�IASs�), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries 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 requirement. Based on our audits and the report of another auditor, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries. Those financial statements were audited by another auditor. Therefore, our opinion, insofar as it relates to those subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of another auditor. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the assets of these subsidiaries constitute 31% and 35% of the consolidated total assets, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the operating revenue of these subsidiaries constitute 37% and 40%, respectively, of the consolidated operating revenue.
21
The Company has prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgments, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. 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. In our professional judgments, key audit matters to be communicated in the independent auditors� report are listed below:
1. Evaluation of inventories
Please refer to note 4(h) �Inventories�, note 5 �Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty�, and note 6(g) �Inventories� of the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Inventories of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the fast high-tech revolution, as well as the advancement of production technologies that may lead dramatic change in customers� demand, the net realizable value of inventories requires subjective judgments of the management, which is the major source of estimation uncertainty. Therefore, evaluation of inventories is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the policies of evaluating the inventories of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries; inspecting whether existing inventory policies are applied; examining the accuracy of the aging of inventories by sampling and analyzing the changes of the aging of inventories; inspecting the reasonableness of the allowance provided for inventory valuation in the past and comparing it to the current year to ensure that the measurements and assumptions are appropriate.
In addition, the consolidated financial statements of certain subsidiaries were audited by other auditor, therefore, we have issued audit instruction to their auditors as guidelines to communicate the above key audit matters with them and reviewed other auditor�s working papers, as well as obtained the feedbacks required in the audit instruction.
2. Impairment assessment of intangible assets
Please refer to note 4(n) � Impairment of non-financial assets � , note 5 � Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty�, and note 6(m) �Intangible assets� of the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
In 2014, PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. acquired Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. through its subsidiary, Diamond (Cayman) Holdings Ltd. The transaction metioned above resulted in PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries to recognize its goodwill, technologies, and customer relations, as intangible assets. The rapid industrial transformation and the assessment of impairment contained estimation uncertainty. Therefore, the assessment of impairment of intangible assets is one of the key audit matters for our audit.
22
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
The principal audit procedures on the assessment of impairment of intangible assets included: evaluating the identification of cash generating units and any indication of impairment relating to intangible assets made by the management; acquiring impairment assessment report from external expert engaged by the Group; reviewing the impairment assessment report and assessing the reasonability of measurements, parameters, and assumptions; evaluating the operation outcomes and comparing them to the past forecasts; making sensitivity analysis for evaluation of impairment losses and evaluating the completeness of disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretations as well as related guidance endorsed 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries�s financial reporting process.
Auditor � s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries� internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
23
-
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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries� ability to continue as a going concern. 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. 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.
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 period 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors� report are Horng, Shyh-Gang and Fu, Hung-Wen.
