2024 Business Report
-
I. 2024 Business Review
-
(I) 2024 Operating Performance
Implementation results of business plan
-
The overall results were negatively affected by lower market demand, fierce price competition, and low capacity utilization. The gross margins dropped severely; in particular, the margin of SXT products was barely positive. But to keep our customers we decided to continue the business.
-
The output of crystal grew mildly over year 2023. However, the oscillator market demands from customers in Europe and in the U.S. were very weak. Total sales and sales of high-margin products dropped significantly, which adversely affected profits.
-
Consumer demand after the COVID has not recovered much. We did not meet most of the goals we set for 2024. On the bright side, we observed several indications in Q4 that the markets were turning upward, and we are optimistic about the market in 2025.
-
The teams that failed to meet their goals this year are under scrutiny and would put forward new strategies. We are confident to have better performance in 2025. The Company's 2024 operating results are stated as follows.

Annex 3
Independent Auditor’s Report Translated from Chinese
To SIWARD Crystal Technology Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SIWARD Crystal Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and notes to consolidated financial statements, including summary of material accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Shanding Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statements Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 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 the Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”) and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits, 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 matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2024 consolidated financial statements. 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.
11
Impairment of accounts receivable
As of December 31, 2024, gross accounts receivable and loss allowance by the Group amounted to NT$650,793 thousand and NT$26,344 thousand, respectively. Net accounts receivable accounted for 14% of consolidated total assets, which have significant influence over the Group. Since the loss allowance of accounts receivable is measured by the expected credit losses for the duration of the account receivalbes, it is necessary to divide account receivalbes into groups in the process of measurement, and consider of appropriate aging intervals, loss rate of each account aging interval and their forward-looking information. As the measurement of expected credit loss involves making judgment, analysis and estimates, and the result will affect the net account receivable, we therefore determined this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but not limited to) understaning and testing the effectiveness of internal control established by the management for accounts receivable management, including the control of credit limits; analyzing the trend of changes in accounts receivable and turnover ratio and tests in the subsequent collection of accounts receivable to assess the recoverability; testing the provision matrix, including evaluating the appropriateness of the aging intervals and the accuracy of the basic data by reviering the original certificates, and recalculation of lifetime expected credit losses.
We also consider the appropriateness of accounts receivable and related risk disclosures in Notes IV、V and VI to the consolidated financial statements.
Inventory valuation
As of December 31, 2024, the amounts of inventories was NT$954,674 thousand, with net inventories accounting for 21% of the consolidated total assets, which have significant influence over the Group, and the end application of products is in the rapidly changing industry, resulting in the losses of slow-moving or obsolete inventories. Therefore, the allowance to reduce inventory to market and valuation of slow-moving inventories involve management judgments or assumptions, we therefore determined this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but not limited to) understaning and testing the effectiveness of the internal controls established by the management for inventories, including the evaluation procedures for the identification of obsolete or defective inventories; evaluating on the management’s stocktaking plan and on-site observation of inventory counting to verify the quantity and status of inventory; selecting the samples to test the correctness and completeness of inventory age; selecting the samples to re-calculating the unit cost of inventories and evaluating the management’s estimated net realizable value for inventory valuation
We also consider the appropriateness of inventory disclosures in Notes IV、V and VI to the consolidated financial statements.
12
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 requirements of Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Shanding Interpretations Committee as endorsed by 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 financial reporting process of the Group.
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 of Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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 internal control of the Group.
13
-
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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Group. 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 accompanying notes, 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 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 statements that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2024 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.
Others
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of SIWARD Crystal Technology Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended Decermber 31, 2024 and 2023.

Independent Auditor’s Report Translated from Chinese
To SIWARD Crystal Technology Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of SIWARD Crystal Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and notes to parent company only financial statements, including summary of material accounting policies (together “the parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statements Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 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 the Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits, 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 matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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.
Impairment of accounts receivable
As of December 31, 2024, gross accounts receivable and loss allowance by the Company amounted to NT$576,644 thousand and NT$16,620 thousand, respectively. Net accounts receivable account for 13% of the total assets, which have significant influence over the Company.
Because the amount of loss allowance for accounts receivable is measured by the expected credit losses during the duration, the accounts receivable should be classified into groups in the measurement process, and appropriate aging intervals and the loss rates for each age range, and their forward-looking information should be determined. These activities involve management
21
judgments or assumptions and the measurement result affects the net accounts receivable; therefore, we have identified the Impairment of accounts receivable as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but not limited to) understaning and testing the effectiveness of internal control established by the management for accounts receivable management, including the control of credit limits; analyzing the trend of changes in accounts receivable and turnover ratio and tests in the subsequent collection of accounts receivable to assess the recoverability; testing the provision matrix, including evaluating the appropriateness of the aging intervals and the accuracy of the basic data by reviering the original certificates, and recalculation of lifetime expected credit losses.
We also consider the appropriateness of accounts receivable and related risk disclosures in Notes IV、V and VI to the parent company only financial statements.
Inventory valuation
As of December 31, 2024, the amounts of inventories of the Company were NT$915,717 thousand, with net inventories accounting for 21% of the total assets, which have significant influence over the Company and the end application of products is in the rapidly changing industry, resulting in the losses of slow-moving or obsolete inventories. Therefore, the allowance to reduce inventory to market and valuation of slow-moving inventories involve management judgments or assumptions, and thus we have judged inventory valuation as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but not limited to) understaning and testing the effectiveness of the internal controls established by the management for inventories, including the evaluation procedures for the identification of obsolete or defective inventories; evaluating on the management’s stocktaking plan and on-site observation of inventory counting to verify the quantity and status of inventory; selecting the samples to test the correctness and completeness of inventory age; selecting the samples to re-calculating the unit cost of inventories and evaluating the management’s estimated net realizable value for inventory valuation
We also consider the appropriateness of inventory related disclosures in Notes IV、V and VI to the parent company only financial statements.
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 Issuer, 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, 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.
22
Those charged with governance (including the audit committee) are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
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. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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 internal control of the Company.
-
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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw 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 the audit of the Company. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
23
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 statements 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 Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 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.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Huang, Ching-Ya and Tu, Chin-Yuan.
