In the midst of the US-China trade war of 2020, COVID-19 broke out and the impacts on the global economy and trade continued to spread and the extent of influence became more extensive as well. Faced with the critical moment of fierce impacts brought about by the trade war and the pandemic, the Company proactively diversified its overseas production sites and sought the possibility of developing new services externally in order to reduce the negative impacts brought about by the drastic changes in the external environment.
As far as the extension of the operational momentum is concerned, being the world’s largest monitor bearing and socket supplier, with the surge in demand as a result of the pandemic for working from home, video conferencing, education, and stay-at-home economy, monitors, among other primary products, of the Company saw an increase in demand for a replenishment of inventory among customers, which accordingly boosted the growth in the revenue and profitability of the Company. 2020 Business Overview:

The shipment size is expected to reach 25 million units in 2021. Given the above two major trends, the Company continues to be optimistic about the steady growths in monitors and AIOs around the world.

Annex 9
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Syncmold Enterprise Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Syncmold Enterprise Corporation (the “Corporation”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (refer to the other matter paragraph), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of 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 auditing standards generally accepted in 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 the Corporation 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, 2020. 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.
Key audit matter of the Corporation’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 is stated as follows:
Occurrence of Sales Revenue
The sales revenue of the Corporation is mainly generated from the sales of monitor hinge products. Most of the sales were highly concentrated on major customers, which revenue accounted for 63.54% of total sales revenue in 2020. Due to the high frequency and significant amounts of transactions with major customers, the occurrence of sales revenue was deemed as a key audit matter for the year ended December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 4 to the financial statements for the related revenue recognition policies.
In response to this key audit matter, our main audit procedures performed in the assessment of the recognition of sales revenue of the Corporation were as follows:
-
29 -
-
We understood the design and implementation of internal controls and assessed the operating effectiveness of relevant controls.
-
We performed detailed verification tests on the selected samples of sales revenue, and checked transaction vouchers and future sales returns and discounts of major customers to confirm the occurrence of sales revenue.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of associates accounted for using the equity method, these were instead audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for associates accounted for using the equity method, is based solely on the report of other auditors. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the amounts of investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$418,523 thousand and NT$168,252 thousand, respectively, which accounted for 4.54% and 2.03% of the Corporation’s total assets, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, share of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$9,671 thousand and NT$3,939 thousand, respectively, which accounted for 1.00% and 0.53% of the Corporation’s total comprehensive income, respectively.
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 the 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 Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process.
- 30 -
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 auditing standards generally accepted in 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 auditing standards generally accepted in 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 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 Corporation’s internal control.
-
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 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 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 the Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Corporation 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.
- 31 -
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, 2020 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 audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Tung-Feng Lee and Chih-Yuan Chen.

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Syncmold Enterprise Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (refer to the other matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of 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 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 Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in 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 the Group 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. 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.
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, 2020. 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
- 39 -
Key audit matter of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 is stated as follows:
Occurrence of Sales Revenue
The sales revenue of the Group is mainly generated from the sales of monitor hinge products. Most of the sales were highly concentrated on major customers, which revenue accounted for 51.20% of total sales revenue in 2020. Due to the high frequency and significant amounts of transactions with major customers, the occurrence of sales revenue was deemed as a key audit matter for the year ended December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the related revenue recognition policies.
In response to this key audit matter, our main audit procedures performed in the assessment of the recognition of sales revenue of the Group were as follows:
-
We understood and assessed the operating effectiveness of design and implementation of the relevant internal controls.
-
We performed detailed verification tests on the selected samples of sales revenue, and checked transaction vouchers and future sales returns and discounts of major customers to confirm the occurrence of sales revenue.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 which were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, but such financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for such subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The total assets of such subsidiaries amounted to NT$742,781 thousand, which represented 6.31% of the Group’s consolidated total assets. The operating revenue of such subsidiaries amounted to NT$51,837 thousand, which represented 0.54% of the Group’s consolidated total operating revenue. We did not audit the financial statements of associates accounted for using the equity method, these were instead audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for associates accounted for using the equity method, is based solely on the report of other auditors. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the amounts of investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$164,556 thousand and NT$168,252 thousand, respectively, which accounted for 1.40% and 1.68% of the Group’s consolidated total assets, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, share of other comprehensive income of associates accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$7,704 thousand and NT$3,939 thousand, respectively, which accounted for 0.79% and 0.53% of the Group’s consolidated total comprehensive income, respectively.
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Syncmold Enterprise Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.

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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and 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 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 supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s 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 auditing standards generally accepted in 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 auditing standards generally accepted in 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 Group’s internal control.
-
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 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 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.
-
41 -
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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.
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, 2020 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 audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Tung-Feng Lee and Chih-Yuan Chen.
