Report Items
1. To report the business of 2021
2021 has continued the changes in the lifestyle since the epidemic in 2020. Different work styles began to emerge in various countries, industries and trades around the world. Remote work and online learning became daily life, and the high degree of digitization and advanced technology helped to build a zero-touch social environment. Taiwan's technology industry, especially the semiconductor industry, has experienced unprecedented prosperity based on the right time, right place, and right people. Right time: Demand for activation of the stay-at-home economy due to the epidemic; Right place: The supply chain has changed from a long chain to a short chain, and Taiwan has a complete semi-conductor industry cluster; Right people: Everyone is united in the fight against the epidemic. The Company has benefited from the general economy and the advantages of timing, location, and people, and has been able to seize the great business opportunities and achieve fruitful results in operational performance. Consolidated revenue for 2021 reached NT$24.834 billion, a 72.2% increase from the previous year; overall gross margin increased to 42.8% due to product mix optimization and cost shifting; consolidated net income for the year was NT$4.291 billion, an increase of 400.9% from the previous year.
In 2021, the Company entered the capital market with the completion of its IPO plan, marking a new milestone. This is a long way to go, and we will implement the guiding principles of sustainable development, promote the development of a sustainable environment, fulfill our corporate social responsibility, and implement a corporate governance culture to enhance our sustainable competitiveness.
With the corporate spirit of value focus and innovation, the Company has invested NT$4.274 billion in R&D in 2021, an increase of 115.2% over the previous year. We continue to invest in new-generation display technologies, building up our R&D strength and planning for long-term growth potential. In terms of product development, we continue to launch new generation 8K TV driver ICs for large display products, high refresh rate fast response gaming display and 4K/8K high end display driver ICs, and extremely narrow bezel high screen ratio laptop driver ICs to create high quality image visual enjoyment for users. As AMOLED panels continue to expand their penetration into small and medium-sized display products, they are being used in cell phones, tablets and wearable products, and continue to develop in larger sizes such as notebooks and smaller devices such as smart speakers and translation pens. With the advent of the high-speed transmission generation, the Company continues to introduce flexible AMOLED display driver ICs that support vertical (top and bottom) and horizontal (left and right) folding cell phones, as well as a new generation of cell phone display driver ICs with camera under display function, which are seamlessly integrated with the display panel to achieve a 100% full-screen display. AMOLED wearable product display trends are moving toward larger screens, higher resolution, integrated touch (TDDI) and power saving. We are rapidly introducing higher resolution, more power saving and new generation TDDI driver ICs to strengthen its market leadership in wearable
3
products. In-vehicle display products are driven by the smart and digitalized human-machine interface, leading to the increase of display size and quantity. In-vehicle TDDI products that incorporate touch can optimize the human-machine interface interaction.
In addition to our existing LCD and AMOLED product lines, we have also invested in the development of new generation display technologies such as Micro LED and Mini LED, and are committed to providing more complete solutions to our display panel customers. Through close interaction with customers, understanding their needs, and solving their pain points, we aim to enhance customer adhesion and build long-term relationships; at the same time, we are developing new supply chains for foundries and enhancing new process capabilities to establish a long-term partnership model and support the company's sustainable growth.
Looking forward to 2022, the semiconductor industry should retain its growth momentum. The Company will continue to launch products that meet customer needs, strive for more production capacity, and focus on and invest in the development and business opportunities of next-generation display technologies, in order to establish a long-term stable corporate development goal. The Company also aims to achieve sustainable development by building a good corporate governance culture, following laws and regulations, and balancing the interests of stakeholders. We hope that with the support of the shareholders, we will continue to provide encouragement and encouragement, and the team at Raydium will do its best to achieve success.
To all shareholders
Hope you are in good health. May all your wishes come true.

Attachment I:
Independent Auditors’ Report and 2021 Consolidated Financial Statements
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of Raydium Semiconductor Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries(“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements 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. Based on our judgment, the key audit matters that should be disclosed in this audit report are as follows:
Valuation of Inventories
- Please refer to Note 4(8)“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Inventories”, Note 5“Major Sources of Accounting, Judgements, Estimations and Assumptions of Uncertainty” , and Note - 6(4)“Explanation of Significant Accounts Inventories, net”to the consolidated financial statements.
8
Description of key audit matters:
The costs of inventories in the Company's account may be written down to net realizable value as a result of normal wear, obsolescence or no sales value. Due to the launch of new products, the existing products may become obsolete and no longer meet market demands, which will result in significant changes in product demand and prices. The demand and prices of the existing products may drop and the Company is exposed to the risk that the costs of inventories may exceed their net realizable value. Therefore, the examination of inventory valuation has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit :
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included reviewing the inventory aging reports to analyze the inventory movements, reviewing reports of the production and marketing meetings to assess inventory destocking, evaluating whether the valuation of inventories was in compliance with the Company's accounting policies, and performing a retrospective test of the inventory to verify the reasonableness of the sluggish loss.
Other Matter
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation has additionally prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
9
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted 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 Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Attachment II:
Independent Auditors’ Report and 2021 Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of Raydium Semiconductor Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Raydium Semiconductor Corporation (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the statements 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 significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent-company-only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its parent-company-only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent-company-only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 parent-company-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. Based on our judgment, the key audit matters that should be disclosed in this report are as follows:
Valuation of inventories
- Please refer to Note 4 (7) “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Inventories”, Note 5 “Major Sources of Accounting, Judgements, Estimations and Assumptions of Uncertainty”, and - Note 6 (4) “Explanation of Significant Accounts Inventories, net” to the parent-company-only financial statements.
Description of key audit matters:
The costs of inventories in the Company's account may be written down to net realizable value as a result of normal wear, obsolescence or no sales value. Due to the launch of new products, the existing products may become obsolete and no longer meet market demands, which will result in significant changes in product demand and prices. The demand and prices of the existing products may drop and the Company is exposed to the risk that the costs of inventories may exceed their net realizable value. Therefore, the examination of inventory valuation has been identified as one of the
16
key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit.
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included reviewing the inventory aging reports to analyze the inventory movements, reviewing reports of the production and marketing meetings to assess inventory destocking, evaluating whether the valuation of inventories was in compliance with the Company's accounting policies, and performing a retrospective test of the inventory to verify the reasonableness of the sluggish loss.
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 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 the Company’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 Company 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 Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors' 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted 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.
-
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
17
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 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 Company 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 parent company only financial statements for the year end December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
