Appendix 1

Business Report

Looking back at 2023, the global demand for products is weak, and the global supply chain continues to adjust inventories, pushing down the country’s export and performance on investments. With the economic outlook full of uncertainty, corporate investment plans are more conservative. As a result, the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics revised the economic growth rate downward in 2023 to 1.42%, setting a new low level in the last 14 years and a new low since the financial crisis.

In additional, the housing market lacks a strong foundation, especially since the overall economic situation still remains uncertain. The number of houses sold and transferred throughout the year decreased in the last 2 years, from 267,666 in 2021 to only 236,363 in 2023, even lower than 250,175 in 2020, posing a challenge to the company’s smart home related business.

Since the start of this year, the entire industry had been facing high prices of raw materials and energy, resulting to an increasing pressure on production costs. In addition to the pressure of compliance requirements, energy conservation and emission reduction in the global supply chain, the company continues to actively explore new business and develop new products to respond to new opportunities and customer needs brought about by new market trends. The company is committed to cost control and financial structure strengthening in order to reduce annual losses, continuously transforming, to create higher value to shareholders.

  1. Results of Business Plan Implementation

  2. In order to maintain our competitiveness in research and development and to maintain our leading position in the market, in additional to organization changes in 2023, the company is committed to cost savings and actively reducing operational costs. The company also continues to invest in progressive and innovative application such as Artificial Intelligence of Things (Aiot), solutions for energy conservation and emission reduction, digital carbon disk tools, business communication applications to develop high margin opportunities. In fiscal year 2023, our individual operating income was NTD $535.78 million, with a net loss after tax of NTD $36.09 million. Our consolidated operating income was NTD $804 million, with a consolidated net loss after tax of NTD $21.9 million.

Independent Auditors’ Report

(113) No. Finance-Auditing-Reporting- 23003198

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Tecom Co., LTD.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Tecom Co., LTD. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together referred as “the parent company only financial statements”).

In our opinion, making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors of our audit report the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tecom Co., LTD. as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 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 Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of Tecom Co., LTD. in accordance with the Norm of 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 and the reports of our 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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.

10

The key audit matter about the parent company only financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 is as below:

Inventory Valuation

Description

Tecom Co., LTD. measures the inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Please refer to Notes 5(2) for accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty and information for inventory respectively. Please refer to Note 6(5) for the explanations about inventories. Inventory and allowance for inventory valuation loss are NT$ 147,812 thousand and NT$42,110 thousand, respectively as of December 31, 2023. Tecom Co., LTD. measures the inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the large inventory amount, Tecom Co. is at high risk of inventory impairment loss caused by the rapid changes in industry technology resulting in outdated products or lack of market sales value. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures performed for the above matter are as follows:

  1. Assessed the rationality of policies on allowance for inventory valuation loss.

  2. Selected specific part numbers and verified the net realizable value.

  3. Checked the allowance for inventory valuation loss recognized.

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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of Tecom Co., LTD. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Tecom Co., LTD. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Tecom Co., LTD.

11

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

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

  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 internal control of Tecom Co., LTD.

  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 ability to continue as a going concern of Tecom Co., LTD. 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 Tecom Co., LTD. to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only finan-

12

cial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Tecom Co., LTD. to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company 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 2023 parent company only financial statements 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 (113) No. Finance-Auditing-Reporting- 23003052

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Tecom Co., LTD.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tecom Co., LTD. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together referred as “the consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the section “Other Matter — Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors” of our audit report) the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) as endorsed and issued into effective by 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 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 the Group and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of 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 and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 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

20

provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matter about the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2023 is as below:

Inventory Valuation

Description

The Group measures the inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Please refer to Notes 5(2) for accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty and information for inventory respectively. Please refer to Note 6(6) for the explanations about inventories. Inventory and allowance for inventory valuation loss are NT$ 169,056 thousand and NT$52,151 thousand, respectively as of December 31, 2023. The Group measures the inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the large inventory amount, the Group is at high risk of inventory impairment loss caused by the rapid changes in industry technology resulting in outdated products or lack of market sales value. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter. Audit procedures in response

Our audit procedures performed for the above matter are as follows:

1. Assessed the rationality of policies on allowance for inventory valuation loss.

2. Selected specific part numbers and verified the net realizable value.

3. Checked the allowance for inventory valuation loss recognized.

Other Matter — Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Tecom Co., LTD. has prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion for your reference.

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 the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Group 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

21

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

  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 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 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

22

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 2023 consolidated financial statements 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.
