To Unitech Electronics Co., LTD. 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
Chairman of the Audit Committee: Su, Liang
March 22, 2023

Appendix III
Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 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 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 2022 consolidated financial statements. 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.
16
Revenue recognition
The Group recognized NT$2,350,259 thousand as operating revenue which mainly stemmed from the sale of automatic data capture products for the year ended December 31, 2022. Sale of automatic data capture products is the main operating activity of the Group. The revenue was recognized when the Group has transferred the promised goods to its customers and satisfied the performance obligations. Timing of revenue recognition may vary due to the differences in trade terms of goods agreed in the contract that increased the complexity of the revenue recognition. As a result, we determined this matter as a key audit matter. Our audit procedures include (but are not limited to): assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies regarding revenue recognition; evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over revenue recognition; performing test of details on a sampling basis by checking relevant documents to verify when performance obligations were satisfied and the accuracy of timing of revenue recognition; vouching relevant documents of the selected samples of sales transactions before and after a certain period of the balance sheet date to ensure the appropriate cut-off of sales and sales returns; and reviewing the significant returns and allowances in subsequent periods, etc. We also assessed the adequacy of accounting policy and disclosures of operating revenue. Please refer to Note 4(19) and Note 6(17) to the consolidated financial statements.
Inventory evaluation
The Group had net inventory of NT$476,859 thousand, representing 19.07% of total assets as of December 31, 2022. As the rapid change of technology of automatic data capture products, management had to evaluate the write-down of inventories caused by obsolescence. As this assessment involves management’s judgement, we therefore determined this matter as a key audit matter. Our audit procedures include (but are not limited to): evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the slow-moving and obsolete inventories valuation, including the methods and assumptions used; testing the key assumptions used in evaluating the reserve of slow-moving inventories, including evaluating the reasonableness of inventory reserve percentages and comparing previous estimates with actual results to assess the accuracy of assumptions made by management about the slow-moving and obsolete inventories; and testing the accuracy of inventory aging, etc. We also assessed the adequacy of accounting policy and disclosures of inventories. Please refer to Note 4(11), Note 5(2), and Note 6(7) to the consolidated financial statements.
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 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.
17
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.
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 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Group.
-
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 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
18
to continue as a going concern.
-
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.
-
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. 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 2022 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.
Others
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Unitech Electronics Co. Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the parent company only financial performance and the parent company only cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 Unitech Electronics 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. 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 2022 parent company only financial statements. 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.
25
Revenue recognition
Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. recognized NT$1,872,860 thousand as operating revenues which mainly stemmed from the sale of automatic data capture products for the year ended December 31, 2022. Sale of automatic data capture products is the main operating activity of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. The revenue was recognized when Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. has transferred the promised goods to its customers and satisfied its performance obligations. Timing of revenue recognition may vary due to the differences in trade terms of goods agreed in the contract that increased the complexity of the revenue recognition. As a result, we determined this matter as a key audit matter. Our audit procedures include (but are not limited to): assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies regarding revenue recognition; evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over revenue recognition; performing test of details on a sampling basis by checking relevant documents to verify when performance obligations were satisfied and the accuracy of timing of revenue recognition; vouching relevant documents of the selected samples of sales transactions before and after a certain period of the balance sheet date to ensure the appropriate cut-off of sales and sales returns; and reviewing the significant returns and allowances in subsequent periods, etc. We also assessed the adequacy of accounting policy and disclosures of operating revenue. Please refer to Note 4(18) and Note 6(16) to the parent company only financial statements.
Inventory evaluation
The Company had net inventory of NT$343,505 thousand, representing 15.54% of total assets as of December 31, 2022. As the rapid change of technology of automatic data capture products, management had to evaluate the write-down of inventories caused by obsolescence. As this assessment involves management’s judgement, we therefore determined this a key audit matter. Our audit procedures include (but are not limited to): evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the slow-moving and obsolete inventories valuation, including the methods and assumptions used; testing the key assumptions used in evaluating the reserve of slow-moving inventories, including evaluating the reasonableness of inventory reserve percentages and comparing previous estimates with actual results to assess the accuracy of assumptions made by management about the slow-moving and obsolete inventories; and testing the accuracy of inventory aging, etc. We also assessed the adequacy of accounting policy and disclosures of inventories. Please refer to Note 4(10), Note 5(2), and Note 6(7) to the parent company only financial statements.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the 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.
26
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd., disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Unitech Electronics 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 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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:
-
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.
-
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 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
-
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 ability to continue as a going concern of Unitech
27
Electronics 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 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial 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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries 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 2022 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.
