II. Outline of the 2023 Business Plan:

  • (I) Business policy and important production and marketing policies

  • Having mastered the key R&D technologies requisite for independently making semiconductor wet process equipment (both single-wafer processing and batch-wafer processing), the Company has demonstrated considerable competitive advantages at both the front-end and the back-end of semiconductor process. After all the years of R&D, all models of the Temporary Bonding/Debonding System (TBDB) series have all been successfully developed and put to business use; such models have become an important revenue source for the Company. Going forward this year, we will continue to enhance our R&D strength and production capacity and develop new applications, so as to meet customer needs and thus create long-term favorable development conditions for our Equipment Manufacturing business.

  • In terms of wafer reclaim, to satisfy the customers’ needs for the advanced semiconductor process, the Company has been actively engaged in developing new process and improving existing process. On the 300mm wafer reclaim front, the Company is competent at the 16nm process, and will improve the mass production efficiency of the 16nm process and move forward to attain more advanced process capability this year. At present, Scientech has completed the development of the surface processing technology of aluminum nitride (AlN) wafers and constructed production lines for reclaim of silicon carbide (SiC) wafers and gallium nitride (GaN) wafers, generating new sources of revenue and profits in addition to those from Si wafer reclaim.

6

  • 3.Upholding the R&D spirit as always, the Company actively develops semiconductor/FPD/LED machinery and more advanced wafer processing technologies while competing for new products for our agent business; in 2023, the Company will diversify operating risks and generate revenues and profits from more diversified sources.

  • (II) Expected sales and its bases

Revenue is expected to grow in 2023, judging from current market conditions, prospects of development for the semiconductor/compound semiconductor/FPD/OLED industries, and the scaled-up operations with respect to Equipment Manufacturing.

III. Future development strategies

To catch up with industrial development, the Company will strive to boost the agent business in different fields while grasping the development of technologies requisite for equipment manufacturing, broadening the applications of wafer reclaim, and consolidating markets and R&D capability, thereby boosting our competitiveness.

  • IV. Impact of external competition, regulatory environment, and macroeconomic environment The semiconductor industry scales up due to demands from the various industries such as human-machine interface, digital media, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. With clients successively launching their 10/7/5/3 nm advanced process, capital expenditure on semiconductor equipment will be driven up, which is a favorable factor for the Company’s development.

Once again, we would like to say thank you to all shareholders, directors, clients, and suppliers for their offering long-term support and encouragement to the Company. In a new year going forward, we will uphold the idea of sustainable operations and keep improving ourselves so that we meet your expectations for Scientech.

We wish you all good health and good luck!

C. 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements and Individual Financial Statements

Independent Auditors’ Report

To SCIENTECH CORPORATION:

Audit opinion

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of SCIENTECH CORPORATION and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group” hereinafter) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flow for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies).

In our opinion, the said consolidated financial statements were prepared 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 that were approved and promulgated by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), and thus presented fairly, in all material aspects, the consolidated financial position of The Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Basis of Audit Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We were independent of The Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and fulfilled all other responsibilities thereunder. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

13

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters refer to, based on our professional judgment, the most important matters for auditing the Group’s consolidated financial statements of 2022. 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 issues.

Key audit matters for the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:

Revenue recognition

The Group’s 2022 operating revenue from manufacturing of machinery and from sale of machinery in the capacity of an agent is material to the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Revenue from machinery should be recognized upon the fulfillment of obligations. Since the company might recognize product sale revenue when such revenue does not qualify for the recognition criteria, revenue recognition is thus listed as the key audit matter.

Our main audit procedures to address the said matter included testing the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system pertaining to the recognition of machinery sale and discussing with the management about whether the accounting policy for revenue recognition is appropriate and consistently adopted; we also sampled customer sales documents to verify the transaction terms on the order or sale contract and check the acceptance certificate signed off by customers, so as to assess the correctness of the recognized revenue.

Other Matters

SCIENTECH CORPORATION has prepared the parent company only financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, for which we have issued an audit report containing an unqualified opinion for reference.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The management was responsible for fairly presenting these 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 that

14

were approved and promulgated by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for maintaining the necessary internal control related to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements to ensure that these consolidated financial statements were free of material misstatements, whether due to fraud or errors.

During preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the management was also responsible for evaluating The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing going concern matters, and applying the going concern basis of accounting, unless the management intended either to liquidate The Group or to terminate its operations, or had no feasible alternatives but to do so.

The Group’s governance body (including the Audit Committee) was responsible for supervising the financial reporting procedures.

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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists in these consolidated financial statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements 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 exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also conduct the following tasks:

  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.

15

  1. 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.

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

  3. 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 auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. 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.

  5. Obtain sufficient and 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 audit for the Group. 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 Group's consolidated

16

financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To SCIENTECH CORPORATION:

Audit opinion

We have audited the parent company only balance sheet of SCIENTECH CORPORATION as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the parent company only statement of comprehensive income, parent company only statement of changes in equity and parent company only statement of cash flows for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies).

In our opinion, the parent company only financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and thus presented fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position of SCIENTECH CORPORATION as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its parent company only financial performance and cash flows for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We were independent of SCIENTECH CORPORATION in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and fulfilled all other responsibilities thereunder. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those that, in our professional judgment, were of utmost significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of SCIENTECH CORPORATION for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 issues.

Key audit matters for SCIENTECH CORPORATION’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:

25

Revenue recognition

SCIENTECH CORPORATION’s 2022 operating revenue from manufacturing of machinery and from sale of machinery in the capacity of an agent is material to the overall presentation of the parent company only financial statements. Revenue from machinery should be recognized upon the fulfillment of obligations. Since the company might recognize product sale revenue when such revenue does not qualify for the recognition criteria, revenue recognition is thus listed as the key audit matter.

Our main audit procedures to address the said matter included testing the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system pertaining to the recognition of machinery sale and discussing with the management about whether the accounting policy for revenue recognition is appropriate and consistently adopted; we also sampled customer sales documents to verify the transaction terms on the order or sale contract and check the acceptance certificate signed off by customers, so as to assess the correctness of the recognized revenue.

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 it is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the SCIENTECH CORPORATION'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 SCIENTECH CORPORATION 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 SCIENTECH CORPORATION'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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists in these parent company only financial statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They

26

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 exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also conduct the following tasks:

  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 SCIENTECH CORPORATION’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 SCIENTECH CORPORATION’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 the SCIENTECH CORPORATION 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 or not the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within SCIENTECH CORPORATION to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit for SCIENTECH CORPORATION. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

27

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 SCIENTECH CORPORATION for the year ended December 31, 2021 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.

  • 5-10-2. The shares of the shareholders without voting rights are not counted in the total issued shares for the resolution of the meeting.

  • 5-10-3.

  • 5-11. Voting; vote-monitoring and vote calculation

  • 5-11-1. A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, Paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
