Rectron Ltd.
Annual Business Report
Herein, we provide the business performance report for Rectron Ltd. for the fiscal year 2022 as follows:
In the fiscal year 2022, the Company recorded a total operating revenue of 877,633 thousand NT dollars, representing an increase of 18% compared to the fiscal year 2021's 745,850 thousand NT dollars. This growth was primarily attributed to the indirect impact of the trade war between the United States and China, which resulted in increased orders from customers, particularly in the Electronics Division targeting the U.S. market. Additionally, the successful development of high-end medical masks, strategic adjustments in product sales mix and customer structure, along with effective cost control measures, contributed to a 37% growth in operating gross profit, reaching 343,849 thousand NT dollars in 2022 compared to 251,630 thousand NT dollars in 2021. Consequently, the Company achieved a net profit of 176,100 thousand NT dollars in 2022, representing a significant growth of 107% compared to the net profit of 84,972 thousand NT dollars in 2021.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, global economies have faced significant challenges. The disruptions in the supply chain have led to continuous increases in raw material prices and transportation costs, indirectly intensifying inflationary pressures. Furthermore, the escalating risks in international geopolitical and military conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, have resulted in prolonged hostilities and expansions, affecting the smoothness of the supply of critical raw materials and subsequently impacting global economic activities related to production and consumption. These factors contribute to the overall operational risks and uncertainties for the Company in the fiscal year 2023.
However, with the increasing global consensus on energy conservation and carbon reduction in response to climate change, the green energy industry has become one of the essential sectors for development in various countries. The demand for energy-efficient products, including electric vehicles and solar panels, has been on the rise. Rectron has proactively tapped into this market niche by intensifying efforts in targeting relevant customer segments, aiming to increase revenue and enhance the Company's profitability.

(3)Research and Development Status
~13~
Recognizing the importance of brand value, the Company places great emphasis on product development and long-term investment in core technological capabilities to meet the demands of end customers. Over the past two years, the Company has allocated approximately 1% of its operating revenue to research and development, continuously developing new products and improving existing ones, laying the technological foundation for the Company's sustainable development.
2. Summary of Business Plan for the Year 2023
1. Business Policy and Objectives
Given the increasing geopolitical and military conflicts in recent times, particularly the outbreak and prolonged nature of the Russia-Ukraine war, there are additional variables impacting global economic activities such as production and consumption. Furthermore, the aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve to curb inflation have added uncertainty to the global economic growth momentum in 2023. As a result, our company's operational direction for the year will be more conservative and cautious.
In addition to continuously enhancing our competitiveness in terms of quality, price, and delivery, our business policy for 2023 will focus on cultivating high-profit-margin customers, investing in process automation to improve production efficiency, and advancing towards lean manufacturing processes. In terms of market positioning, we will not only strive to develop markets for high-end products in Europe and the United States but also strengthen our presence in markets such as India. Our product applications will concentrate on the growing demand for energy-efficient industries such as electric vehicles and solar panels, with the aim of increasing our revenue and profitability.
2. Projected Sales Volume and Basis
We anticipate a 3% increase in sales volume for the year 2023 compared to 2022. This projection is mainly driven by the sustained rise in U.S. inflation and the continuous aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve, which indirectly increase operational risks for businesses and reduce consumer purchasing power. In light of these factors, our overall business strategy will be more cautious, resulting in a relatively conservative estimate of the overall sales volume.
-
Important Product and Sales Policies
-
(1) Continuously establish VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) mechanism for customers in sales regions to accelerate inventory turnover.
-
(2) Expand the establishment of technical service teams for end customers to understand their needs and enhance product development efficiency.
-
(3) Optimize product portfolio and pricing strategies.

4. Impacts from External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Overall Business Environment
- External Competitive Environment
Due to the rapidly changing external environment and industry fluctuations, the company's competition is no longer limited to Taiwan but extends globally. Leveraging its long-standing presence and competitive advantage in European and American high-value customer channels, the company continues to reduce costs, create product value, service value, and differentiation value to secure customer loyalty and stability.
- Regulatory Environment
The company adheres to national policies and regulations. The finance, equity, audit, and legal departments are able to stay informed about important policy or legal changes. They cooperate with internal control systems and operational activities to ensure full compliance with legal requirements, ensuring the smooth operation of the company. Currently, there are no significant impacts on the company's finances and operations resulting from changes in domestic or international regulatory environments.
3. Impacts from the Overall Business Environment
In terms of the overall business environment, the company is facing inflationary pressures and the gradual decoupling of the two major economies, China and the United States. The United States has adopted protectionist measures, adding uncertainties to the globalized economy. The company will focus on strengthening customer service value and product cost competitiveness to adapt to changes in the overall business environment.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ’ REPORT
Rectron LTD. Board of Directors –
Auditor's Opinion
The consolidated balance sheets of Rectron LTD.and its subsidiaries (Rectron Group) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, along with the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies), have been audited by our auditors.
In our auditors' opinion, based on their audit findings and other auditors' reports (please refer to the Other Matters section), the aforementioned consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Issuers of Securities and the International Financial Reporting Standards, endorsed and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and are fairly presented to reflect the financial position of Rectron Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the financial performance and cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Basis of Audit Opinion
We, as auditors, have conducted our audit work in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Audit Signatures of Certified Public Accountants and the Auditing Standards. Our CPA s responsibility under these standards will be further explained in the paragraph of responsibility of the accountant for examining the consolidated financial statements. The personnel of our accounting firm, who are subject to independence regulations, have maintained independence in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and fulfilled other responsibilities prescribed by the regulations. They have maintained a professional and objective stance in relation to Rectron LTD.and its subsidiaries. We believe that we have obtained adequate and appropriate audit evidence to form the basis of our audit opinion.
Key audit matters
The key audit matters refer to those matters that, in the auditor's professional judgment, are of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of Rectron Group for the year ended 2022. Such items have been taken into consideration in the process of auditing the overall consolidated financial reports and forming audit opinions. The accountant does not express opinions on such items separately. Our CPA determined to address the following key auditing matters in the accountant’s report:
1. Revenue Recognition
Please refer to Note 4 (13) of the consolidated financial statements for details on the accounting policy for revenue recognition. Additionally, refer to Note 6 (14) of the consolidated financial statements for a breakdown of revenue by customer contracts.
~ 18-1 ~
Explanation of Key Audit Matters
The recognition of revenue is a critical area of focus in our audit of Rectron Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 2022. The company's primary source of revenue is derived from the manufacturing and sale of various rectifiers, semiconductor components, and medical devices. The risk lies in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of revenue recognition. The company's viability and ongoing operations depend on a consistent inflow of cash generated from revenue. Therefore, the company's business strategy and operational management are centered around revenue. Consequently, the testing of revenue recognition is a significant assessment area for our audit of Rectron Group's financial statements.
Corresponding audit program:
The main audit procedures performed by the auditor for the above-mentioned key audit matters include testing the controls and effectiveness of the sales and cash collection cycle, as well as sampling the accuracy of recognizing sales revenue around the balance sheet date, which involves verifying warehouse dispatch records and comparing contractual terms. The auditor also evaluates whether control over the goods has been transferred at the appropriate recognition point.
2. inventory valuation
Regarding inventory valuation, please refer to Note 4 (8) "Inventory" for the accounting policy. For the accounting estimates and assumptions related to inventory valuation and their uncertainties, please refer to Note 5 (2). Further explanation on the assessment of inventory valuation can be found in Note 6 (4) "Inventory" of the consolidated financial statements. Explanation of Key Audit Matters
The valuation of inventory for Rectron Group is subject to the risk of cost exceeding its net realizable value due to fluctuations in international raw material prices and market supply and demand conditions, which may result in significant fluctuations in product selling prices and sales volumes. Therefore, the testing of inventory valuation is considered as one of the important assessment matters in the auditor's examination of Rectron Group's financial statements.
Corresponding audit program:
The main audit procedures performed by the auditor for the above-mentioned key audit matters include reviewing the inventory aging report, analyzing the changes in inventory aging over different periods, assessing the reasonableness of Rectron Group's accounting policies and their implementation, conducting trend analysis on the treatment of obsolete inventory, understanding the basis and methods of inventory valuation, and comparing relevant variances to identify any significant abnormalities.
Other Matters
Inclusion of certain subsidiaries' financial statements in Rectron Group's consolidated financial report that were audited by other auditors and not by the auditor. Therefore, with respect to the financial statements of those subsidiaries listed in the above-mentioned consolidated financial report, the amounts presented are based on the audit reports of other auditors. The total assets of those subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, accounted for 4% of the total consolidated assets, and the net sales for the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, and January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, accounted for 16% of the total consolidated net sales.
Rectron LTD.has prepared separate financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022, and
〜 18-2 〜
December 31, 2021, and an audit report with an unqualified opinion and an other matters paragraph has been issued by the auditor, which is available for reference.
Responsibility of the Management and the Governing Body for the Consolidated Financial Reports
The management is responsible for the preparation of the appropriate consolidated financial statements, which are in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Issuers of Securities and approved and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, as well as the applicable International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations, and Interpretive Bulletins. They are also responsible for maintaining necessary internal controls related to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements to ensure that they are free from material misstatement caused by fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management's responsibility also includes assessing the ability of the Rectron Group to continue as a going concern, making relevant disclosures, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless there are intentions to liquidate the Rectron Group or cease its operations, or unless there are no other practical alternative courses of action other than liquidation or cessation.
The governance body of Rectron Group, including the Audit Committee, has the responsibility to oversee the financial reporting process.
Responsibility of the CPA to Audit Consolidated Financial Reports
The purpose of the accountant's audit of the consolidated financial reports is to obtain reasonable assurance of whether the consolidated financial reports as a whole are substantially misrepresented due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but audit procedures performed in accordance with auditing standards cannot guarantee that material misstatements due to fraud or error in the consolidated financial reports will be detected. Misstatements may arise from fraud or errors. A misrepresentation of an individual amount or sum of transfers is considered significant if it is reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by consolidated users of financial reports.
Our auditor exercised professional judgment and skepticism in accordance with the auditing standards. We also performed the following tasks:
-
1.We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or errors, designed and performed audit procedures according to those risks, and obtained audit evidence that can sufficiently and appropriately form the basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for the one resulting from error because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
2.The understanding of the internal controls relevant to the audit was obtained to design appropriate audit procedures based on the circumstances at that time. However, it should be noted that the objective was not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls of Rectron Group.
-
3.We evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
4.Based on the audit evidence obtained, a conclusion was reached regarding the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and whether there were any significant
〜 18-2 〜
uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on Rectron Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If the accountant considers that there is significant uncertainty in such events or circumstances, he/she shall, in the audit report, alert the users of the consolidated financial reports to the disclosure of the consolidated financial reports or amend the audit opinion if such disclosure is inappropriate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of this accountant’s report. However, it should be noted that future events or circumstances could arise that may jeopardize Rectron Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
-
5.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements (including related notes), and determine whether the consolidated financial statements appropriately represent the relevant transactions and events.
-
6.Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the group in order to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The auditor is responsible for guiding, supervising, and executing the audit of the group engagement and forming an audit opinion on the group's financial statements.
The auditor communicates with the governance body regarding matters such as the planned audit scope and timing, as well as significant audit findings (including significant deficiencies in internal controls identified during the audit process).
The auditor also provides the governance body with a statement that the personnel responsible for independence within the auditor's firm have complied with the independence requirements in the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, and communicates with the governance body on all relationships and other matters that could be considered to affect the auditor's independence (including relevant safeguards).
Based on communications with the governance unit, the auditor has determined the key audit matters for the audit of Rectron Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended in the Republic of China 2022. We described these matters in the accountant’s report, unless the laws and regulations prohibit such disclosure or under rare condition that we decide not to communicate a given matter because the negative impact from such communication may override its public benefits under reasonable assumption.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’report are Shih-Chin and Li-Chen Lai.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ’ REPORT
Rectron LTD. Board of Directors –
Auditor's Opinion
The balance sheets of Rectron LTD.and its subsidiaries (Rectron Ltd.) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity, and statements of cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, along with the accompanying notes to the financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies), have been audited by our auditors.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 of Audit Opinion
We, as auditors, have conducted our audit work in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Audit Signatures of Certified Public Accountants and the Auditing Standards. Our CPA s responsibility under these standards will be further explained in the paragraph of responsibility of the accountant for examining the financial statements. The personnel of our accounting firm, who are subject to independence regulations, have maintained independence in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and fulfilled other responsibilities prescribed by the regulations. They have maintained a professional and objective stance in relation to Rectron LTD.and its subsidiaries. We believe that we have obtained adequate and appropriate audit evidence to form the basis of our audit opinion.
Key audit matters
The key audit matters refer to those matters that, in the auditor's professional judgment, are of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of Rectron Ltd. for the year ended 2022. Such items have been taken into consideration in the process of auditing the overall financial reports and forming audit opinions. The accountant does not express opinions on such items separately. Our CPA determined to address the following key auditing matters in the accountant’s report:
1. Revenue Recognition
Please refer to Note 4 (13) of the financial statements for details on the accounting policy for revenue recognition. Additionally, refer to Note 6 (14) of the financial statements for a breakdown of revenue by customer contracts.
〜 18-7 〜
Explanation of Key Audit Matters
The recognition of revenue is a critical area of focus in our audit of Rectron Ltd.'s financial statements for the year ended 2022. The company's primary source of revenue is derived from the manufacturing and sale of various rectifiers, semiconductor components, and medical devices. The risk lies in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of revenue recognition. The company's viability and ongoing operations depend on a consistent inflow of cash generated from revenue. Therefore, the company's business strategy and operational management are centered around revenue. Consequently, the testing of revenue recognition is a significant assessment area for our audit of Rectron Ltd.'s financial statements. Corresponding audit program:
The main audit procedures performed by the auditor for the above-mentioned key audit matters include testing the controls and effectiveness of the sales and cash collection cycle, as well as sampling the accuracy of recognizing sales revenue around the balance sheet date, which involves verifying warehouse dispatch records and comparing contractual terms. The auditor also evaluates whether control over the goods has been transferred at the appropriate recognition point.
2. inventory valuation
Regarding inventory valuation, please refer to Note 4 (8) "Inventory" for the accounting policy. For the accounting estimates and assumptions related to inventory valuation and their uncertainties, please refer to Note 5 (2). Further explanation on the assessment of inventory valuation can be found in Note 6 (4) "Inventory" of the financial statements.
Explanation of Key Audit Matters
The valuation of inventory for Rectron Ltd. is subject to the risk of cost exceeding its net realizable value due to fluctuations in international raw material prices and market supply and demand conditions, which may result in significant fluctuations in product selling prices and sales volumes. Therefore, the testing of inventory valuation is considered as one of the important assessment matters in the auditor's examination of Rectron Ltd.'s financial statements.
Corresponding audit program:
The main audit procedures performed by the auditor for the above-mentioned key audit matters include reviewing the inventory aging report, analyzing the changes in inventory aging over different periods, assessing the reasonableness of Rectron Ltd.'s accounting policies and their implementation, conducting trend analysis on the treatment of obsolete inventory, understanding the basis and methods of inventory valuation, and comparing relevant variances to identify any significant abnormalities.
Other Matters
Inclusion of certain subsidiaries' financial statements in Rectron financial report that were audited by other auditors and not by the auditor. Therefore, with respect to the financial statements of those subsidiaries listed in the above-mentioned financial report, the amounts presented are based on the audit reports of other auditors. The total assets of those subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, accounted for 8% and 7% of the total assets, and the net sales for the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, and January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, accounted for 34% and 33% of the total net sales.
〜 18-7 〜
Responsibility of the Management and the Governing Body for the Financial Reports
The management is responsible for the preparation of the appropriate financial statements, which are in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Issuers of Securities and approved and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, as well as the applicable International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations, and Interpretive Bulletins. They are also responsible for maintaining necessary internal controls related to the preparation of the financial statements to ensure that they are free from material misstatement caused by fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the management's responsibility also includes assessing the ability of the Rectron Ltd. to continue as a going concern, making relevant disclosures, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless there are intentions to liquidate the Rectron Ltd. or cease its operations, or unless there are no other practical alternative courses of action other than liquidation or cessation.
The governance body of Rectron Ltd., including the Audit Committee, has the responsibility to oversee the financial reporting process.
Responsibility of the CPA to Audit Financial Reports
The purpose of the accountant's audit of the financial reports is to obtain reasonable assurance of whether the financial reports as a whole are substantially misrepresented due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but audit procedures performed in accordance with auditing standards cannot guarantee that material misstatements due to fraud or error in the financial reports will be detected. Misstatements may arise from fraud or errors. A misrepresentation of an individual amount or sum of transfers is considered significant if it is reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by users of financial reports.
-
Our auditor exercised professional judgment and skepticism in accordance with the auditing standards. We also performed the following tasks:
-
1.We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or errors, designed and performed audit procedures according to those risks, and obtained audit evidence that can sufficiently and appropriately form the basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for the one resulting from error because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
2.The understanding of the internal controls relevant to the audit was obtained to design appropriate audit procedures based on the circumstances at that time. However, it should be noted that the objective was not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls of Rectron Ltd..
-
3.We evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
4.Based on the audit evidence obtained, a conclusion was reached regarding the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and whether there were any significant uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on Rectron Ltd.'s ability to continue as a going concern. If the accountant considers that there is significant uncertainty in such events or circumstances, he/she shall, in the audit report, alert the users of the financial reports to the disclosure of the financial reports or amend the audit opinion if such disclosure is inappropriate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of this accountant’s report. However, it should be noted that future events or circumstances could arise that may jeopardize Rectron Ltd.'s ability to continue as a going concern.
〜 18-7 〜
-
5.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements (including related notes), and determine whether the financial statements appropriately represent the relevant transactions and events.
-
6.Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Ltd. in order to express an opinion on the financial statements. The auditor is responsible for guiding, supervising, and executing the audit of the Ltd. engagement and forming an audit opinion on the Ltd.'s financial statements.
The auditor communicates with the governance body regarding matters such as the planned audit scope and timing, as well as significant audit findings (including significant deficiencies in internal controls identified during the audit process).
The auditor also provides the governance body with a statement that the personnel responsible for independence within the auditor's firm have complied with the independence requirements in the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, and communicates with the governance body on all relationships and other matters that could be considered to affect the auditor's independence (including relevant safeguards).
Based on communications with the governance unit, the auditor has determined the key audit matters for the audit of Rectron Ltd.'s financial statements for the year ended in the Republic of China 2022. We described these matters in the accountant’s report, unless the laws and regulations prohibit such disclosure or under rare condition that we decide not to communicate a given matter because the negative impact from such communication may override its public benefits under reasonable assumption.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’report are Shih-Chin and Li-Chen Lai.
