Business Report

Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. 2020 Operating Results

The year 2020 was a very challenging year for the semiconductor industry, and of course, the entire world. Despite the uncertainties posed by international affairs and the impact of COVID-19, Realtek, relying on continuous enhancement of product competitiveness and flexible market strategies, maintained the pace towards its 34th consecutive year of growth. Full-year 2020 consolidated revenue reached NT$77.76 billion, an increase of 28.0% from the previous year; gross profit was NT$33.25 billion, an increase of 25.1% from the previous year; and net profit after tax was NT$8.79 billion, representing an increase of 29.5% compared to the previous year, with earnings per share of NT$17.24. According to IC Insights, worldwide semiconductor industry revenue in 2020 was US$480.9 billion, an increase of 8% compared to 2019, of which IC sales grew by 10%. Realtek ranked 11th amongst the global IC design companies in 2020, once again marching forward at a speed outpacing the overall industry.

Looking back on 2020, the needs for working from home and remote learning to cope with COVID-19 drove demand for productivity products such as personal computers, as well as home networks and network infrastructure. In addition, the market itself was pulled by megatrends such as 5G and Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), thereby accelerating and expanding the demand for various connectivity solutions. With its comprehensive product portfolio and technological competitiveness, Realtek has delivered outstanding results in the PC, communications network, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics fields.

In terms of corporate social responsibility best practice, Realtek has set up a Nominating Committee and Corporate Governance Officer to strengthen the board's practices and intensify its management functions, thereby heightening its quality and efficiency. We identified various climate risks related to climate change issues of global concern, proposed actions in response, and integrated internal and external resources to actively manage energy usage, including setting targets for carbon reduction and greenhouse gas emissions, saving electricity, and harvesting green energy to reduce environmental impact. We also focused on our core competencies to develop innovative, high-performance, and low-power-consumption products. In 2020 we continued to fulfill our promise to help create a greener, healthier environment by delivering many new products where power consumption (wattage) was reduced by more than 40% when compared with their predecessors. To promote social inclusion, Realtek proactively participates in charitable activities.

3

In 2020 we sponsored free Low-Dose Computed Tomography lung cancer screening for Hsinchu County and City police forces, as well as offering free liver disease and liver cancer screening, and also a health questionnaire at Longshan Temple. The Longshan Temple event attracted more than 8,000 participants and was awarded a certificate for breaking a Guinness World Record. Regarding education, Realtek established the ‘Caring Rural Education and Boosting Student Learning Charity Project’ to provide rural schools with additional reading material to expand their horizons and promote learning through reading. In addition, Realtek continues to provide services to groups such as the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families, the Eden Social Welfare Foundation, and the Boyo Social Welfare Foundation, among others.

2. 2021 Business Plan

Having outperformed the market in 2020, Realtek will continue to launch more competitive products in 2021, strengthen the portfolio of each product line, and maintain our growth momentum and technological leadership.

In relation to wireless products, Realtek Wi-Fi 6 (11ax) wireless controller products successfully entered mass production in 2020, and have experienced great success in PC, router, and broadband applications. They are expected to gradually become an important growth driver in 2021. In addition to Wi-Fi 6, the existing 11ac and 11n products will be optimized continually to provide more cost-effective solutions, which will help expand markets and increase overall market share while consolidating existing customers. For IoT controller chips, Realtek offers the most complete product portfolio. In addition to hardware specifications with high integration and ultralow power consumption, Realtek also provides customers with complete software and hardware development kits through close cooperation with IoT-related organizations and leaders. This has enabled rapid growth in both the number of customers and shipments in 2020, and this trend is expected to continue in 2021. With respect to Bluetooth products, COVID-19 impacted True Wireless Stereo (TWS) products, and there was a slight decline in growth in 2020. However, in 2021, a new wave of growth is expected as the number of customers requiring Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) increases and the upcoming BT 5.2 TWS solution fulfills the market’s expectation for the evolution of Bluetooth headsets. Additionally, Bluetooth Low Energy single chips in voice remote controllers are now widely recognized by well-known brands at home and abroad. Realtek will continue to assist customers to migrate from infrared to Bluetooth remote controllers, and provide the market with appealing and high-value wearable applications. The promotion by intelligent voice ecosystem leaders to adopt Bluetooth Mesh Networking will further drive the growth of Bluetooth products.

Realtek's second-generation 2.5Gb Ethernet products have been designed into PCs and their peripherals. The bandwidth demanded by many applications is further reflected in the specification upgrade from 1GbE to 2.5GbE, which is expected to become one of the main growth drivers of our Ethernet product line in the near future. For Switch products, Realtek has been actively developing

the smart switch market by investing resources to develop Layer 3 stackable managed and higherspeed switch controller chips, as well as deploying entry-level managed switches by offering lowpower, cost-effective solutions, in order to increase both market visibility and market share. In addition, in response to the increasing demand for network bandwidth, an 8-port 2.5 GbE singlechip switch is expected to be launched in 2021, providing low-power, easy-to-operate and costeffective products to the market, which in turn should drive another wave of specification upgrades of consumer switches. For automotive Ethernet, the number of customers and shipments are growing steadily through persistent team effort. Other than the existing 100/1000BASE-T1 dualmode high-port-count switches and physical layer (PHY) controllers, Realtek is also actively investing in the development of 10-BASE-T1 and 2.5-GBASE-T1 products, targeting the increased market demand foreseen for the years 2024 and 2025.

For TV SoCs, Realtek leads in end market demand due to superior system expertise and specifications that are highly recognized by customers, and has delivered steady sales growth throughout 2020. In 2021, we will continue to improve products by integrating 8K, AI, and other functions to enhance the consumer multimedia experience. With the rise of audiovisual streaming media and its promotion by major operators, the demand for OTT set-top boxes continues to rise. To this end, Realtek will continually develop new generations of UHD multimedia controller chips for OTT set-top boxes by integrating the multi-CAS security requirements of various operators, and will combine its own multimedia and network total solutions to gain greater customer recognition and maintain stable growth.

Regarding Computer Peripheral products, as lifestyles around the world changed dramatically in 2020 due to COVID-19, working from home and remote learning became the norm, thereby enabling the PC market, notebooks in particular, to experience positive growth against the trend. In addition, sales of VoIP communication devices and noise reduction software capable of improving the quality of calls has shown strong growth. Realtek launched an environmental noise cancellation solution for PC audio peripheral devices, which combines AI algorithms to effectively eliminate background noise. In addition to the need for high-level voice call quality, a parallel demand for more convenient and clearer video images has also emerged. To meet these needs, Realtek will launch a series of PC camera ISP chips with HD/FHD/5M resolution, featuring duallens and Temporal Noise Reduction to bring consumers a first-class user experience. In terms of single-chip controllers for surveillance cameras, in response to the high growth being seen in the security industry, Realtek will launch a new generation of highly integrated, low-power single-chip camera products, supporting H.264/H.265 encoding, 5 million Pixel CMOS Sensor, and Video HDR wide dynamic range with long and short exposure specifications, in order to strengthen our product portfolio and provide customers with more competitive solutions.

  1. Strategy for Future Development and Impact by Competitive, Regulatory, and Macro Conditions

5

The COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 heavily impacted people's daily lives; however, the semiconductor industry continued to grow steadily, both because of these lifestyle changes, and as a result of megatrends such as 5G and AIoT. Entering 2021, the industry will face challenges caused by supply-demand imbalances in the supply chain, in addition to the continuing impact of COVID19 on the macro economy. Despite many uncertainties, Realtek will rise above the challenges to delivery market success through its highly flexible strategies, time-proven deep technical strength, and excellent customer support. In the face of future challenges, we will not only expand and construct our third office building this year but also map out a plan for entering biomedical industry to uphold our goal of steady growth and sustainable development.

We want to thank all shareholders for your ceaseless care and support. We also wish you great health and success.

Chairman: Yeh, Nan-Horng President: Chiu, Sun-Chien Controller: Chang, Jr-Neng

Attachment 1: Independent Auditors’ Report and 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE PWCR 20000252

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Realtek Semiconductor Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Realtek Semiconductor Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other matters section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audits and the report of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

15

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2020 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:

Existence of cash in banks

Description

Refer to Notes 4(6) and 4(9) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies on cash and cash equivalents and time deposits that do not qualify as cash equivalents. The balance of cash and cash equivalents was NT$7,296,360 thousand, constituting 9% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020, as described in Note 6(1) of the consolidated financial statements. Time deposits that do not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents, which refers to shortterm, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value are classified as "financial assets at amortised cost – current" and "financial assets at amortised cost – non – current". The balance of these time deposits amounted to NT$35,410,003 thousand, constituting 45% of consolidated total assets, refer to Note 6(4) of the consolidated financial statements for the details. The abovementioned assets constituted 54% of the total assets, have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements, the nature and usage of those bank accounts varies, and the Group transacts with various financial institutions, thus, audit of cash in bank was considered as one of the key audit matters.

16

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Obtained detailed listings of cash in banks. Sent confirmation letters to all financial institutions and reviewed special terms and agreements in order to ensure the existence and rights and obligations of cash in banks.

  2. Obtained an understanding of procedures for preparation and review of bank reconciliations, including validating unusual reconciling items.

  3. Obtained an understanding of the usage of the bank accounts as well as sampled and validated significant cash transactions to ensure they are operational in nature and there are no significant and unusual transactions.

Evaluation of inventories

Description

Refer to Note 4(14) of the consolidated financial statements for inventory evaluation policies, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions of inventory evaluation and Note 6(6) for the details of inventories.

The Group is primarily engaged in researching, developing, manufacturing, selling of various integrated circuits and related application software. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the balances of inventories are significant to the financial statements and the rapid technological changes in the industry, there is a higher risk of decline in market value and obsolescence of inventories. Thus, we considered the evaluation of inventories as one of the key audit matters.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Obtained an understanding of accounting policies on the provision of allowance for inventory valuation losses and assessed the reasonableness.

  2. Validated the accuracy of inventory aging report, as well as sampled and confirmed the consistency of quantities and amounts with detailed inventory listing, verified dates of movements with supporting documents and ensured the proper categorization of inventory aging report.

  3. Evaluated and confirmed the reasonableness of net realizable value for inventories through validating respective supporting documents.

17

Other matter – Reference to the audits of other auditors

We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for under equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements and the information on the consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for under equity method were based solely on the reports of other auditors. Total assets (including investments accounted for under equity method amounted to NT$156,854 thousand and NT$185,972 thousand) of those companies amounted to NT$959,452 thousand and NT$5,971,097 thousand, constituting 1.23% and 8.13% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and total operating revenues were both NT$0 thousand, both constituting 0% of the consolidated total operating revenues for the years then ended. Furthermore, according to the reports of other auditors, comprehensive losses of those investments accounted for under equity method amounted to NT$21,101 thousand and NT$19,443 thousand, constituting (0.28%) and (0.32%) of comprehensive incomes for the years then ended, respectively.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion with other matter section on the parent company only financial statements of Realtek Semiconductor Corporation as at and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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.

18

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.

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 ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement 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 Group’s internal control.

19

  1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  2. 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 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 report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  3. 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.

  4. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group 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.

20

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.

Attachment 2: Independent Auditors’ Report and 2020 Parent Company Only Financial Statements

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR20000257

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Realtek Semiconductor Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Realtek Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of 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, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other matter section ), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s 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 Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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.

29

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2020 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s 2020 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

Valuation of inventories

Description

Refer to Note 4(13) of the parent company only financial statements for inventory valuation policies, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions of inventory valuation and Note 6(3) for the details of inventories.

The Company is primarily engaged in researching, developing, manufacturing, selling of various integrated circuits and related application software. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the balances of inventories are significant to the financial statements and the rapid technological changes in the industry, there is a higher risk of decline in market value and obsolescence of inventories. Thus, we considered the valuation of inventories as one of the key audit matters.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Obtained an understanding of accounting policies on the provision for inventory valuation losses and assessed the reasonableness.

  2. Validated the accuracy of inventory aging report, as well as sampled and confirmed the consistency of quantities and amounts with detailed inventory listing, verified dates of movements with supporting documents and ensured the proper categorization of inventory aging report.

  3. Evaluated and confirmed the reasonableness of net realizable value for inventories through validating respective supporting documents.

30

Other matter – Reference to the audits of other auditors

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. Investments accounted for under equity method amounted to NT$642,359 thousand and NT$6,938,839 thousand, constituting 0.92% and 10.29% of total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Comprehensive income amounted to NT$196,125 thousand and NT$151,087 thousand, constituting 2.64% and 2.46% of total comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

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.

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 ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and

31

maintain 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 Company’s internal control.

  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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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 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 disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

32

  1. 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 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 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.

Lin, Yu-Kuan[Cheng, Ya-Huei ]
