II. Summary of 2022 business plan:
-
(1) Business policy
-
We continued to apply the management philosophy, “New Concept, New Management, New Technology and New Market”, and aimed to expand our market share by taking advantage of the trend toward electric powered vehicles, and to continue our efforts in new markets including communications, industrial, and healthcare.

(2)
competitiveness in the market and to secure the market. We also accelerated the new product development and production to increase sales.
- We have recruited more sales staff and expanded the scope of business to increase the sales for new products.
Expected sales volume and basis thereof
Electric vehicles, which replace fuel vehicles, and electronization of car controls are currently the vital force driving the electronics industry. The Company has made significant achievements in working in this market. The 5G communication system continues to grow and will become the main message and control platform. The demand for protective components is increasing. There is a great opportunity for the future; the automated and intellectualized industrial application and infrastructure market will drive economic growth in the post-epidemic period. These factors bring an optimistic vision for the business. However, the US-China and global political conflicts are still uncertain factors for economic growth. Based on the major customer's estimates for the new year integrated by the Company, the sales forecast for 2022 is still expected to be higher than the sales in 2021. Apparently, the sales will keep growing in the new year.
(3) Key production and sales policies
1.Production policy:
-
(1) Supply management:
-
(A)Improve the Group’s diversified and multi-point supply chain model and practice multi-source production in five locations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, hoping to mitigate the risk of shortage of materials for customers and better serve the needs in the delivery market, and generally upgrade the customer service speed as the starting point.
-
(B) Improve SAP system in all factories, connect the information flow of the production execution system, MES, and strengthen the inventory management at various factories in response to the COVID-19 preventive measures to optimize the inventory level and maximize the product turnover.
-
(2) Production management:
-
(A)HR: Improve HR training and expertise and stabilization requirements toward key process personnel.
-
(B) Machine: Continue to improve the production automation and retire equipment that consumes high energy and is less efficient.
8
-
(C) Materials: Recognize multiple customer sources of materials to mitigate the effect posed by variation of related factors to the supply of goods; adopt a strategic procurement policy toward major materials to control the fluctuation in costs effectively and input and output strictly.
-
(D)Methods:
-
D-1 System-based management, form-based system, and computer-based form to make the IT-based management for the entire operation.
-
D-2 Continue to pursue lean production, minimize or eliminate low-value work, and focus on high-yield actions.
-
D-3 To exercise departments’ operational effectiveness, the Group's factories and entities work together to set and promote the KPI project.
-
-
(E) Environment:
-
E-1. Promote the energy conservation project, check overall energy consumed by equipment, diagnose energy consumption, and activate the energy conservation project.
-
E-2. Promote reuse of water resources, and construct process waste water recycling system to achieve the feature for reuse of water resource.
-
-
(3) Overview of Production and Marketing:
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the drastic changes in the market demand, the Company keeps holding production and marketing meetings for teamwork to adjust the production scale to the best scale of the economy. We hope that the production and marketing may stay flexible and active in order to deal with the pressure derived from changes in the market.
-
2.Sales Policy:
-
(1) Deepenthe markets of electric vehicles and automotive electronics, strengthen the development of the 5G and communications, industrial controls, and medical electronics, etc., and increase the sale of niche-type and customized products to generate more profit.
-
(2) Keep up with the benchmarking customers to develop new cases and keep the development pace in line with the high-end markets.

-
(III) Develop the sale markets and rapid after-sale services, and provide complete protective component series to satisfy the customers’ demand for “one-stop shopping”.
-
IV. Effects posed by external competitive environment, legal environment and macroeconomic environment:
As far as the external competitive environment is concerned, the industry in which the Company is engaged is expected to keep growing in response to the expanding market demand. For the competition with peer companies, the Company is expected to maintain its oligopolistic position but still struggle with the environment.
As far as the legal environment is concerned, the Company adjusts its internal rules and management regulations in a timely manner in response to the enactment of and amendments to various laws & regulations, and research and draft alternate policies. The Company is used to valuing the internal controls and corporate governance. Therefore, the enactment of/amendments to laws & regulations are expected to pose a minor impact to the Company.
As far as the macroeconomic environment is concerned, considering that the epidemic is becoming stable, the overall economy and liquidity are expected to develop positively. The Company keeps increasing its production capacity and adjusts product portfolio, and plan related capital expenditures to respond to the market demand.
Looking forward to the future, the Company will follow the management philosophy, “New Concept, New Management, New Technology and New Market”, keep focusing on the management of core business, and accelerate development of new technology, new products and new customers, in order to improve the Company's competitiveness, increase operating revenue and profit, and feed back to the permanent support from all of you. Thanks to the management team and whole employees for their dedication and efforts to pursue fruitful business growth to feed back to all of you in the past year. We also hope that each
10
shareholder can keep his/her original intent and continue to support and encourage Thinking Electronic.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Thinking Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Thinking Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and 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 statement”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 Company 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, 2021. 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 of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is discussed as follows:
Recognition of revenue from specific product
The Company’s principal business is manufacturing and selling of passive components. The Company recognized net sales of NT$3,775,336 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021, and revenue from specific products increased significantly than the previous year. Therefore, the occurrence of sales of specific products is considered as a key audit matter. For the accounting policy on revenue recognition, refer to Note 4 (k) to the financial statements.
14
Our main audit procedures performed in response to the above key audit matter included the following:
-
We obtained an understanding of the design of the internal control on revenue recognition and tested the operating effectiveness of the control.
-
We selected samples from the sales ledger and inspected the delivery documents and receipt bouchers and validated the occurrence of sales of specific products.
-
We verified that the revenue amounts recognized in the sales ledger were the same as those data recorded in the accounts receivable ledger.
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 Company’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 Company 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 Company’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 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 Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
15
-
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 Company’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 Company 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 Company 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, 2021 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 Jia-Ling Chiang and Chiu-Yen Wu.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders Thinking Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Thinking Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and 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, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 (FSC) 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. 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, 2021. 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 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is discussed as follows:
23
Recognition of revenue from specific product
The Group’s principal business is manufacturing and selling of passive components. The Group recognized net sales of NT$ 7,500,274 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021, and revenue from specific productss increased significantly than the previous year. Therefore, the occurrence of sales of specific products is considered as a key audit matter. For the accounting policy on revenue recognition, refer to Note 4 (l) to the financial statements .
Our main audit procedures performed in response to the above key audit matter included the following:
-
We obtained an understanding of the design of the internal control on revenue recognition and tested the operating effectiveness of the control.
-
We selected samples from the sales ledger and inspected the delivery documents and receipt vouchers and validated the occurrence of sales of specific products.
-
We verified that the revenue amounts recognized in the sales ledger were the same as those data recorded in the accounts receivable ledger.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion and unmodified opinion with emphasis of matter paragraph, respectively.
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 FSC, 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 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
24
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
25
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, 2021 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 Jia-Ling Chiang and Chiu-Yen Wu.

2020.06.15 Amendment
Article 1: The shareholders’ meetings of the Company shall be governed by these Rules.
Article 2: The shareholders referred to herein shall mean the shareholders per se, institutional shareholders’ representatives, and proxies appointed by the shareholders to attend the meetings on behalf of them pursuant to laws.
-
Article 3: The present shareholders (or their proxies) shall wear the attendance certificate and hand in a sign-in card in lieu of signing in. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by said sign-in cards plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by electronic means. Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based on the number of shares.
-
Article 4: When a shareholder attends a shareholders’ meeting in person or by proxy, the Company, whenever it deems necessary, may check the identity certificates that can afford to prove the personal identity.
-
Article 5: The shareholders’ meetings of the Company shall be held at the Company's location or any other locations that are suitable and convenient for shareholders to attend. Meetings must not commence anytime earlier than 9AM or later than 3PM.
-
Article 6: If a shareholders' meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the Chairman of Board. When the Chairman is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the Chairman, the Chairman shall appoint one of the directors to act as chairperson. Where the Chairman does not make such a designation, the directors shall select from among themselves one person to serve as chairperson.
-
Where any person other than the Board of Directors convenes a shareholders’ meeting, such person shall preside over the meeting.
-
Article 7: The Company may appoint its attorney-at-law, CPA, or related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders’ meeting.
-
Article 8: The minutes of a shareholders’ meeting shall be kept on record by voice recording or videotaping. Such minutes on record shall be retained for at least 1 year.
-
Article 9: The chairperson shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chairperson may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. In the event that postponement has been made twice and the shareholders present
54
in the meeting cannot represent one-half but represent more than one-third of the total outstanding shares, Paragraph 1 of Article 175 of the Company Act shall be applicable whereby provisional resolution could be made.
When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chairperson may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders’ meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act.
Article 10: If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the Board of Directors. The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of a shareholders’ meeting. The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders’ meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the Board of Directors.
Before the parliamentary procedure is accomplished in accordance with the agenda (including extempore motions) as stated in the preceding two paragraphs, the chairperson cannot announce for the adjournment of the meeting unless with the resolution rendered by a shareholders’ meeting.
After the meeting is adjourned, shareholders cannot nominate another chairperson or seek another venue for the continuation of the meeting.
If the chairperson is found to have adjourned the meeting in violation of the parliamentary rules, the meeting may continue with a separate chairperson elected upon approval of a majority of the voting rights represented by the shareholders present at the meeting.
Article 11: Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number) and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chairperson. A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken.
In case the content of the speech delivered on the floor is irrelevant with the content in the speech memo, the latter shall prevail.
When a shareholder is having the floor, all other shareholders shall not interfere unless at the consent of the chairperson or the shareholder who is taking the floor. Any unrestrained action shall be discouraged by the chairperson.
Article 12: Shareholders cannot speak for more than twice, for 5 minutes each, on the same
55
motion without prior consent of the chairperson.
The chairperson shall prevent further speech of a particular shareholder who violates the aforementioned requirements or where the contents of the speech are irrelevant to the motion in point.
-
Article 13: Where a juristic person may be appointed as a proxy to attend a shareholders’ meeting, it may appoint only one representative to attend the meeting. For institutional shareholders appointing two (2) or more representatives to a shareholder’s meeting, only one representative may express opinions on the same motion.
-
Article 14: After a present shareholder has spoken, the chairperson may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
-
Article 15: Any matters other than motions may be put under discussion or voting. When the chairperson is of the opinion that a motion has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chairperson may announce the discussion closed and call for a vote. Where the chairperson announces that the closed discussion of any motion should be decided by ballot, ballots may be cast on several motions at the same time, but the motions shall be put to a vote separately.
-
Article 16: Resolutions at a shareholders' meeting shall, unless otherwise provided for in the Company Act and Articles of Incorporation, be adopted by a majority vote of the shareholders present, who represent more than one-half of the total number of voting shares, at the meeting.
-
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a motion, the chairperson shall present the amended or alternative motion together with the original one and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. If one of them is passed, the others shall be deemed vetoed and no further voting is necessary.
-
Article 17: A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Paragraph 2 of Article 179 of the Company Act.
-

When a shareholder obstructs the parliamentary procedure and defies the chairperson's correction, the chairperson, picketers or security guards may remove such shareholder from the meeting place.
-
