English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese
Independent Auditors' Report
To U-Tech Media Corporation:
Audit Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of U-Tech Media Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries 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 material accounting policies (together "the consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter -Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors section of our report), the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial positions of the Company 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, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue Recognition
The main source of revenue of the Company and its subsidiaries is the sales of pre-recorded optical discs and electricity, which amounted to \$1,136,435 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. Because of the characteristics of the market industry and the needs of customers, different types of transaction conditions are involved. Therefore, we need to judge and determine the performance obligations and the point at which they are satisfied, so the recognition of contract revenue is determined to be a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but were not limited to) evaluating the appropriateness of management's accounting policies for revenue recognition and perform transaction flow understanding of the revenue recognition process for identified performance obligations; evaluating and testing the effectiveness of the design and implementation of internal controls related to the timing of revenue recognition for performance obligations; performing analytical procedures on selling price, sales volume, cost and gross margin for each product category, and perform analytical procedures for the top ten sales vendors and customers; performing test of details of transaction on selected samples and reviewing the transaction terms in the orders and related sales documents to confirm the appropriateness of the timing of revenue recognition when performance obligations are satisfied; performing revenue cutoff testing and verifies the related certificates for a period before and after the balance sheet date to determine the appropriate period for revenue recognition; performing general journal entry testing.
We have also evaluated the appropriateness of related disclosure in Notes 4 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Accounts Receivable
The accounts receivable of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 amounted to \$117,583 thousand, and had a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Since the amount of allowance for accounts receivable is measured by the lifetime expected credit losses, the measurement process shall appropriately distinguish groups of accounts receivable, and judge and analyze the application of related assumptions in the measurement process, including the consideration of appropriate account aging interval, loss rate of each account aging interval and its forward-looking information. As the measurement of expected credit loss involves making judgment, analysis and estimates, and the result will affect the net accounts receivable, we therefore considered this a key audit matter. Our audit procedures included (but were not limited to) confirming whether customer groups with significantly different loss patterns are appropriately grouped; checking the management's evaluation procedure of loss allowance, and randomly selecting delivery orders to check against the account receivable aging schedule to verify the correctness of the account receivable aging interval while performing the internal control review; and testing the preparation matrix, including evaluating whether the determination of each group's aging interval was reasonable and checking the correctness of the original voucher based on the basic information; testing the relevant statistical information of loss rate calculated by roll rate; considering the reasonableness of the forward-looking information included in the loss rate evaluation; evaluating whether the forward-looking information affected the loss rate; in addition, analytical procedure review was performed to evaluate whether there were material abnormality between the comparative changes of the turnover rate for two periods of the accounts receivable. reviewing the subsequent period collection of receivables with respect to clients with higher accounts receivable at end of period and assessing the recoverability of accounts receivable. We have also evaluated the appropriateness of related disclosure in Notes 5, 6 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements.
Other Matter - Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain associates accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of other auditors. These associates under equity method amounted to \$8,516 thousand and \$8,885 thousand, both representing 0% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The related shares of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method amounted to \$1,040 thousand and \$782 thousand, both representing 1% of the consolidated income before income tax for the vears ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by 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 Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries 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 Company and its subsidiaries.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese
Independent Auditors' Report
To U-Tech Media Corporation:
Audit Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent-company-only balance sheets of U-Tech Media Corporation (the "Company") 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 material accounting policies (together "the parent-company-only financial statements").
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter - Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors section of our report), the parent-company-only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the parent-company-only financial positions of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its 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.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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. 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.
Revenue Recognition
The main source of revenue of the Company is the sales of pre-recorded optical discs, which amounted to \$531,673 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. Because of the characteristics of the market industry and the needs of customers, different types of transaction conditions are involved. Therefore, we need to judge and determine the performance obligations and the point at which they are satisfied, so the recognition of contract revenue is determined to be a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but were not limited to) evaluating the appropriateness of management's accounting policies for revenue recognition and perform transaction flow understanding of the revenue recognition process for identified performance obligations; evaluating and testing the effectiveness of the design and implementation of internal controls related to the timing of revenue recognition for performance obligations; performing analytical procedures on selling price, sales volume, cost and gross margin for each product category, and perform analytical procedures for the top ten sales vendors and customers; performing test of details of transaction on selected samples and reviewing the transaction terms in the orders and related sales documents to confirm the appropriateness of the timing of revenue recognition when performance obligations are satisfied; performing revenue cutoff testing and verifies the related certificates for a period before and after the balance sheet date to determine the appropriate period for revenue recognition; performing general journal entry testing.
We have also evaluated the appropriateness of related disclosure in Notes 4 and 6 to the parent-companyonly financial statements.
Allowance for Accounts Receivable
The accounts receivable of the Company as of December 31, 2023 amounted to \$85,039 thousand, and had a significant impact on the parent-company-only financial statements. Since the amount of allowance for accounts receivable is measured by the lifetime expected credit losses, the measurement process shall appropriately distinguish groups of accounts receivable, and judge and analyze the application of related assumptions in the measurement process, including the consideration of appropriate account aging interval, loss rate of each account aging interval and its forward-looking information. As the measurement of expected credit loss involves making judgment, analysis and estimates, and the result will affect the net accounts receivable, we therefore considered this a key audit matter. Our audit procedures included (but were not limited to) confirming whether customer groups with significantly different loss patterns are appropriately grouped; checking the management's evaluation procedure of loss allowance, and randomly selecting delivery orders to check against the account receivable aging schedule to verify the correctness of the account receivable aging interval while performing the internal control review; and testing the preparation matrix, including evaluating whether the determination of each group's aging interval was reasonable and checking the correctness of the original voucher based on the basic information; testing the relevant statistical information of loss rate calculated by roll rate; considering the reasonableness of the forward-looking information included in the loss rate evaluation; evaluating whether the forward-looking information affected the loss rate; in addition, analytical procedure review was performed to evaluate whether there were material abnormality between the comparative changes of the turnover rate for two periods of the accounts receivable. reviewing the subsequent period collection of receivables with respect to clients with higher accounts receivable at end of period and assessing the recoverability of accounts receivable. We have also evaluated the appropriateness of related disclosure in Notes 5, 6 and 12 to the parent-company-only financial statements.
Other Matter - Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain associates accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of other auditors. These associates under equity method amounted to \$8,516 thousand and \$8,885 thousand, both representing 0% of total assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The related shares of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method amounted to \$1,040 thousand and \$782 thousand, representing both 1% of the income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China 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 the Company, 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditors' 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 auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 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 professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
- 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 3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
- that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company.
- estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- 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 Company. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. 5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent-company-only financial 6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
- 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.
- business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent-company-only 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 parent-company-only financial statements for year ended December 31, 2023 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
