PRODUCTS R&D, TECHNOLOGIES AND OUTLOOK

Sunplus technology mergers and acquisitions of major individuals, including Sunplus Technology, Generplus Technology, Sunplus Innovation Technology, Jumplux Technology, and mainland subsidiaries.

Sunplus is deeply engaged in automotive chips and intelligent surround sound chips. Automotive chips include intelligent cockpit (IVI, Display Audio), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (AVM, DMS, ADAS), and in-car acoustics (Auto-EQ, EC/NR). Intelligent surround sound chips include products such as Soundbar, Gaming Soundbar, Party Speaker, and Speakerphone. In addition to the above two categories and audio-visual entertainment systems, Sunplus also offers intelligent computing chips Plus1 suitable for AIoT applications, as well as high-speed interfaces, data converters, and analog IP licensing. In addition to the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems, Sunplus has also introduced products that integrate IVI with the dashboard and IVI with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to enhance the functionality and value of automotive products. For SoundBar, besides incorporating Bluetooth wireless transmission into the product line, Sunplus is also actively promoting PC/Gaming Soundbar. The sales growth of these new products will be the main driver of revenue and profit growth for Sunplus.

The intelligent computing chip Plus1 significantly reduces the development threshold for Edge Computing applications. With the development of a 12-nanometer chip with AI capabilities, it will be the optimal solution for small-scale diversified AIoT startups. Many innovative applications will be commercialized to benefit the public.

11

Generplus's main product lines include consumer ICs, multimedia ICs, and MCUs. In the consumer IC segment, they have developed a new generation of 4-bit Reduced Instruction Set CPU voice synthesis control ICs and 16-bit voice microcontroller signal processors ICs, providing customers with high-performance and cost-effective voice/music synthesis solutions. In the multimedia product segment, they have developed a 22-nanometer 32-bit high-end multimedia open application platform SoC, which integrates Cortex-A7 CPU, 3D GPU, next-generation deep learning engine, high-speed audio/video interfaces, etc., assisting customers in developing various audiovisual applications such as human-machine interface platforms and edge computing platforms. In the MCU product segment, they have developed a 55-nanometer 32-bit Flash MCU, which integrates high-bandwidth operational amplifiers and high-speed digital-to-analog converters IP, providing high-performance and cost-effective MCU solutions.

In 2023, 82% of Sunplus Innovation Technology's sales revenue came from built-in cameras related to NB (Notebook) devices, while 18% came from USB external camera devices, dashcams, dashcams, high-speed cameras, IOT, and other related products. Amidst unclear market visibility, the company will continue to improve the efficiency of technology research and development and product development, while continuing to deepen its presence in the AI machine vision field.

Subsidiaries in China include Shanghai Sunplus, Sunplus Prof-tek Technology (Shenzhen), Sunmedia, CQPlus1 (Chongqing), Sunplus-EHUE and Sunplus APP. Mainly to support the Company's mainland customers in the Company's engineering services and business promotion.

EXTERNAL COMPETITION, REGULATIONS, AND OVERALL ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Looking back at 2023, impacted by global inflation, the US-China trade war, geopolitical tensions, and economic downturn in China, market consumer demand fell short of expectations. Sunplus experienced its first loss in many years amid this significant upheaval. Facing these challenges, apart from providing customers with more cost-effective products to continuously reduce inventory, Sunplus continues to invest in research and development resources. The group will persist in investing in technology and product development, accelerating the development of new products and applications to cope with market competition and establish a competitive advantage.

Looking ahead to 2024, uncertainties such as the duration of the Russia-Ukraine war, the trajectory of global inflation, and the potential recovery of the Chinese economy make economic development fraught with variables and challenges. The bottleneck to industry growth is no longer found in the outsourcing of wafer fabrication or packaging testing, but rather in the demand generated by economic growth. The company will closely monitor changes in the international economic environment, adjust the pace of product development in a timely manner, and adapt to market demand.

Future company development strategy

Sunplus Technology and all entities within the group will continue to deepen their core competencies in various fields, develop new products, and actively invest in advanced technologies to enhance product value and explore new products and markets. By adjusting and optimizing product lines and investments, observing market trends, and actively expanding into new markets, we aim to improve performance both within and outside our core business, thereby accumulating new growth momentum. We hope to turn losses into profits and reward our shareholders for their long-term support.

SUNPLUS TECHNOLOGY COMPANY LIMITED

Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Sunplus Technology Company Limited

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Sunplus Technology Company Limited, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sunplus Technology Company Limited as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Sunplus Technology Company Limited in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matter identified in Sunplus Technology Company Limited’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 is as follows:

Occurrence of Revenue from Specific Customers

Integrated circuit chip sales accounted for 95% of Sunplus Technology Company Limited’s total revenue. Among them revenue declined in 2023, some of the customers whose revenue has grown significantly and significant amount carry a higher risk related to the occurrence of sales revenue. Therefore, we considered the occurrence of revenue as a key audit matter. For detailed disclosure of revenue, refer to Notes 4 and 21 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

15

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

  1. We obtained an understanding of the related internal control and operating procedures in Sunplus Technology Company Limited’s sales transaction cycle, and we evaluated and confirmed the operating effectiveness of the related internal control and operating procedures.

  2. We selected samples from the sales details, and we examined customers’ original orders, sales electronic orders, delivery orders, logistics receipt documents or export declaration, and sales invoices for any abnormalities and confirmed that sales revenue did occur.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing Sunplus Technology Company Limited’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 Sunplus Technology Company Limited or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including members of the audit committee) are responsible for overseeing Sunplus Technology Company Limited’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 Sunplus Technology Company Limited’s internal control.

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

16

  1. 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 Sunplus Technology Company Limited’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 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 Sunplus Technology Company Limited to cease to continue as a going concern.

  2. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  3. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within Sunplus Technology Company Limited to express an opinion on the 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 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 Tung-Hui Yeh and Ya-Yun Chang.

SUNPLUS TECHNOLOGY COMPANY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and Independent Auditors’ Report

25

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Sunplus Technology Company Limited

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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.

The key audit matter identified in Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries’ consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 is as follows:

Occurrence of Revenue from Specific Customers

Integrated circuit chip sales accounted for 93% of Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries’ total revenue. Among them revenue declined in 2023, some of the customers whose revenue has grown significantly and significant amount carry a higher risk related to the occurrence of sales revenue. Therefore, we considered the occurrence of revenue as a key audit matter. For detailed disclosure of revenue, refer to Notes 4 and 23 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

26

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

  1. We obtained an understanding of the related internal control and operating procedures in Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries’ sales transaction cycle, and we evaluated and confirmed the operating effectiveness of the related internal control and operating procedures.

  2. We selected samples from the sales details, and we examined customers’ original orders, sales electronic orders, delivery orders, logistics receipt documents or export declaration, and sales invoices for any abnormalities and confirmed that sales revenue did occur .

Other Matter

We have also audited the accompanying financial statements of Sunplus Technology Company Limited as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries’ 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 Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries 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 Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries’ financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the 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 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:

  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 Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries’ internal control.

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

27

  1. 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 Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

  2. 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.

  3. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within Sunplus Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 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 Tung-Hui Yeh and Ya-Yun Chang.
