Taiwan Mask Corporation 2023 Business Report
To begin with, I would like to express my appreciation to all shareholders for their support. Due to continued international turbulence (geopolitics, the Russo-Ukrainian war, the Israel-Palestine conflict) and inflationary factors, governments around the world have to combat inflationary pressure and sluggish consumption after the lockdowns are lifted. The destocking speed of the global semiconductor and electronics industries is not as good as expected. Although there is the topic of AI applications, under the slowdown of demand for consumer products with a large proportion of semiconductors, the scale of the global semiconductor market declined in 2023. However, it will return to growth in 2024 and a double-digit growth is expected. Overall, the difference between semiconductor process technologies and applications will result in a different end demand. In this regard, Taiwan Mask has a stable deployment to prudently plan for new capacity and new technologies in response to overall needs in a timely and appropriate manner, so as to grow together with strategic partners. At the same time, we will continue to strengthen operational management efficiency, deepen customer relationship management and services, and continue to grow together with strategic customers.
In the face of the downturn of the global semiconductor market, with the successful deployment of medium-end and high-end mask manufacturing services, the expansion of mask OEM services for strategic partners, and the endeavor of the management team and all the employees, the Company has maintained steady growth in its operations in 2023, with annual parent company only net revenue amounting to NT$3.986 billion, up by 2.5% compared to the previous year; the net profit after tax amounted to NT$366 million. In terms of operational performance, we continued to improve technology and manufacturing quality, and won the recognition and long-term support of our strategic customers by reducing costs, deepening customer service, shortening delivery time, and improving customer satisfaction.
TMC continues to grow in its core business and expand its strategic deployment. In addition, the group’s subsidiaries also focus on the development of their own core businesses and expand related synergistic businesses in order to create maximum benefits.
Looking forward to 2024, in response to the growth of the semiconductor market, TMC will,
-
Continue to strengthen its operations, strengthen customer satisfaction and loyalty, build the production capacity and accept orders of high-end process photomasks, lower manufacturing cost, optimize customer service, and maximize performance of current production lines.
-
Continue to expand the photomask business required for 40nm technology for 12-inch wafers: After the successful mass production of 65/55photomasks, we will actively expand photomask manufacturing services for 12-inch wafer fabs in 2024 and introduce the mass production of 40nm photomask and plan investment in manufacturing technology and production services
-
12 -
for 28nm photomasks.
-
The Group’s synergy integration and full performance: Under the foundation of photomask service by the parent company, combining with its subsidiaries, including Miracle Tech’s foundry management service, Aptos Tech’s packaging and testing service, Xsense Tech’s heat dissipation substrate production, Innova Vision's contact lens manufacturing, DIGITAL-CAN TECH’s laminate manufacturing, Baile’s all-round energy solutions of energy generation and energy storage provided, and Moment semiconductor’s self-owned brand consumer electronic products, there are expectations to create more values for shareholders through the Group’s internal collaborations and the comprehensive resources management.
-
Continue the implementation of sustainable development: Taiwan Mask adheres to the business philosophy of “respect for the nature, love for people, and protect the planet” and develops its business in the three major fields of semiconductor, green energy, and smart manufacturing. We pursue sustainable development with energy creation and energy conservation. By focusing on core business development, managing the Group’s total resources, aiming at innovation and sustainability, and working with strategic customers, suppliers, subsidiaries of the Group, and stakeholders to integrate resources, we will continue to invest in sustainability issues and implement sustainable development.
Best wishes to all valued shareholders.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other independent auditors, as described in the Other matters section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material aspects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
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 Taiwan. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Independent Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the reports of the other independent 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 of fiscal year 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the TMC Group’s consolidated financial statements in fiscal year 2023 are
- 16 -
stated as follows:
Evaluation of Inventories
Explanation
Refer to Note 4(14) for the accounting policies on the evaluation of inventories, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimations and assumptions for evaluation of inventories, and Note 6(5) for the detailed description of inventory accounts. The inventory amount and allowance for inventory valuation loss as of December 31, 2023 were NT$805,951 thousand and NT$104,128 thousand, respectively.
The Group is primarily engaged in mask and integrated circuit services in the semiconductor industry. Due to rapid technological innovations, short life-cycle and competition within the mask industry, the risk of price fluctuations, Loss on decline in value of inventories and obsolescence is higher than that of other industries. Management evaluates inventories stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Since the evaluation of inventories is subject to management’s judgment and the accounting estimations will have significant influence on the inventory values, the evaluation of inventories has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
We have performed primary audit procedures for the above matter as follows:
-
Understand and evaluate the accounting policy for the provision of allowance for losses on decline in value of inventories.
-
Perform test to evaluate the ageing statement of inventories and the statement of lower of cost and net realizable value of inventories, including validating the supporting documents related to the date of inventory movement to confirm the correct ageing classification, and validating the supporting documents related to the net realizable value to assess and confirm the reasonableness of the net realizable value determination.
-
Verify the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation loss.
Income recognition
Explanation
For the accounting policy on income recognition, please refer to Note 4(29) of the financial report. For sales revenue, please refer to Note 6(22); the operating income in fiscal year 2023 was NT$7,199,935 thousand.
The Group mainly produces and sells products such as masks and integrated circuits used in semiconductors, and has a large and diversified sales base. Trading conditions vary according to market conditions and customer needs. Considering that sales revenue is a major transaction that has a
- 17 -
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements, we believe that the recognition of sales revenue is one of the most important matters to be considered in this year’s audit.
How our audit addressed the matter
We have performed primary audit procedures for the above matter as follows:
-
Understand the type of major income and assess internal operations, review revenue recognition and accounting treatment.
-
Obtain the sales revenue statement, sample the sales transactions and verify the relevant documents to determine the appropriateness of the sales revenue.
-
Execute the cut-off test for the sales receipts transaction for a certain period of time before and after the closing date, and confirm that the account is correct at the time of entry.
Other matters–Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only standalone financial statements of Taiwan Mask Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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.

Independent 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 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 ROC AS 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 conducted in accordance with ROC AS, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also conduct the following undertakings:
-
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 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 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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit.
-
19 -
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicated 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 for the current period.
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 2023 consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore deemed 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 auditor’s report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonable are expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Independent Auditors’ Report
(113) Tsai-Sheng-Bao-Zi No. 23002831
To Taiwan Mask Corporation,
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying parent-only balance sheets of Taiwan Mask Corporation as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the parent-only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other independent auditors, as described in the Other matters section of our report, the parent-only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the standalone financial position of Taiwan Mask Corporation as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Taiwan. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Independent Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Taiwan Mask Corporation in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the reports of the other independent 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 standalone financial statements of Taiwan Mask Corporation of fiscal year 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a parent only opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the parent-only financial statements in fiscal year 2023 are stated as follows:
- 28 -
Evaluation of Inventories
Explanation
Refer to Note 4(12) for the accounting policies on the valuation of inventories, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimations and assumptions for valuation of inventories, inventory accounts description please refer to Note 6(5), for the details of allowance for inventory valuation. The inventory amount and allowance for inventory valuation loss as of December 31, 2023 is NT$134,369 thousand and NT$4,794 thousand, respectively.
Taiwan Mask Corporation is primarily engaged in mask and integrated circuit services in the semiconductor industry. Due to rapid technological innovations, short life-cycle and competition within the mask industry, the risk of price fluctuations, loss on decline in value of inventories and obsolescence is higher than that of other industries. Management evaluates inventories stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Since the evaluation of inventories is subject to management’s judgment and the accounting estimations will have significant influence on the inventory values, the evaluation of inventories has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
We have performed primary audit procedures for the above matter as follows:
-
Understand and evaluate the accounting policy for the provision of allowance for losses on decline in value of inventories.
-
Perform test to evaluate the ageing statement of inventories and the statement of lower of cost and net realizable value of inventories, including validating the supporting documents related to the date of inventory movement to confirm the correct ageing classification, and validating the supporting documents related to the net realizable value to assess and confirm the reasonableness of the net realizable value determination.
-
Verify the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation loss.
Income recognition
Explanation
For the accounting policy on income recognition, please refer to Note 4(27) of the financial report. For sales revenue please refer to Note 6(21); the operating income in fiscal year 2023 is NT$3,985,541 thousand.
Taiwan Mask Corporation mainly produces and sells products such as masks and integrated circuits used in semiconductors, and has a large and diversified sales base. Trading conditions vary according to market conditions and customer needs. Considering that sales revenue is a major transaction that significantly impacts the standalone financial statements, we believe that the recognition of sales revenue is one of the most important matters to be considered in this year’s audit.
- 29 -
How our audit addressed the matter
We have performed primary audit procedures for the above matter as follows:
-
Understand the type of major income and assess internal operations, review revenue recognition and accounting treatment.
-
Obtain the sales revenue statement, sample the sales transactions and verify the relevant documents to determine the appropriateness of the sales revenue.
-
Execute the cut-off test for the sales receipts transaction for a certain period of time before and after the closing date, and confirm that the account is correct at the time of entry.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing Taiwan Mask 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 Taiwan Mask Corporation 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 Taiwan Mask Corporation’s financial reporting process.
Independent auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors’ Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC AS 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 only financial statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ROC AS, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also conduct the following undertakings:
-
30 -
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Taiwan Mask 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 Taiwan Mask 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 report to the related disclosures in the parent 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 report. However, future events or conditions may cause Taiwan Mask Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Taiwan Mask Corporation to express an opinion on the parent only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicated 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 for the current period.
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 parent-only financial statements for the year ended
- 31 -
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 auditor’s report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonable are expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
