Strive for the feasibility of various R&D credits pro-actively to reduce tax and increase EPS.

III. Future development strategies

The competition is fierce in each industry. Taking the wireless communication industry in which the Company's microelectronic products are sold as an example, whenever a new flagship model is launched, it is the time to re-set the competition trend in this industry. Therefore, the Company has to join the technology R&D of the next generation product specifications together with customers at the very beginning of the R&D, in order to strive for the chance to be the winner of the terminal product specifications, and ensure that the Company’s materials may be applied to each best-selling mobile phone, tablet and wearable device series and various innovative devices and infrastructure. Improving the characteristics of materials and yield rate, ensuring the product quality and keeping cutting costs down would be the key to maintain the long-term competitiveness in the industry. Based on the partnership in R&D, the Company helps customers shorten the time spent in R&D and strive for the opportunity to have the customers’ products get the Design-Win from mobile phone manufacturers. Only if the Company becomes the first largest supplier, the Company may disperse the operating risk effectively and stand in the invincible position. In the era of 5G, IoT and Internet of Vehicles, the Company will introduce resources, work with customers to layout for the 5G mobile phones, base stations, small cells and Wifi6/Wifi7-related new products and structures.

The Company will expand the width of optical communication customers, accelerate R&D of the new light sensor products and customers’ certification as the development strategy for photoelectronic products. The Company will also increase the photoelectronic products and customer portfolio to drive the growth of operating revenue and profit, cause the product portfolio and customer structure to develop toward a stabler orientation, and thus create more diversified business opportunities. Meanwhile, benefiting from AI business opportunities, data centers have flourished in recent years, attracting various industries to rush to build facilities, and the Company will take the opportunity to develop its business when the penetration rate of sensing elements in electronic consumables and LiDAR is increasing significantly, accelerate the R&D of application, certification and mass production of InP and GaAs new products, improve the yield rate and expand the productivity to raise the market share in a timely manner to block the competitors.

The digital transformation is underway. Various forward-looking technologies are emerging and complementing each other. The new high-tech product innovation speed is beyond the ordinary people’s imagination. At this moment, many industrial giants and venture capitalists are focusing on the creation of new products which most of people have not yet found are needed by them. In consideration of the excellent characteristics of compound semiconductors, it will inevitably be applied by specific new high-tech products. The Company, as a compound semiconductor epitaxy fab, will act open-mindedly and introduce resources in a timely manner and closely work with the existing and potential customers for early layout arrangement. Meanwhile, the Company will make good use of its experience in the R&D of various microelectronic and photoelectronic products for over two decades, control the characteristics of compound semiconductor materials, 6-inch epitaxy mass

production capacity and also ensure the quality to be outstanding and everlasting and have cost awareness to build a threshold that competitors are not likely to reach.

IV. Effect of external competition, laws and regulations and overall business environment

Looking back on 2024, the global economy was full of challenges and uncertainties, demonstrating a complex and diversified development trend. The economic performances of various countries have been significantly different from each other. The economic activities in some regions have recovered with steady growth while most countries are still facing challenges or even the risk of recession, including the continued geopolitical tensions, high inflationary pressure, and the increase in financial and political risks due to the excessive debt level in many countries. Furthermore, with the increase of trade protectionism, the global supply chain has been affected and disrupted. In the face of the increasingly digitization, greening and intellectualization of the global economy, the Company will continue to achieve the goal of improving the core competitiveness, promoting corporate sustainable development, strengthening product quality, implementing cost control, increasing delivery efficiency, and realizing the advantages of new product development. Through strengthening relationships with customers, we will improve the customer's product characteristics and advantages, and we also aim to become the priority choice of supplier for customers to engage in collaborative development of new generation of products, thereby continuing to maintain the Company’s leading position as the No. 1 microwave communication arsenic epitaxy wafer manufacturer worldwide.

The pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation process, and people have developed the habit of using digital tools during the pandemic period, which also continues to exist in the post-pandemic era. As the global economy recovers, enterprises will pay more attention to changes in customer demand and actively adjust their business strategies, in order to provide products and services of higher quality. In the new market environment, the Company is at the upstream of the supply chain, and will take active measures to strengthen the supply chain management, in order to respond to market changes and to reduce the risk of supply chain interruptions. The Company also upholds the principle of retaining talents as the top priority. Through diverse recruitment channels and effective retention strategies, the Company is able to mitigate the impact of talent recruitment difficulties on the Company’s operational development.

With the emerging trend of digital applications of Big Data, AI, blockchain, and Metaverse worldwide, the demand for computation, storage and networking increases dramatically, and the development of data centers (information centers) is particularly critical for future development. In recent years, the market for data centers has been booming, and the demand is over supply, driving major business operators in various sectors to actively invest in the construction of data centers, and the cloud infrastructures continue to expand. In addition, the continued evolution of AI technology, breakthrough in low latency and high-speed transmission technologies, and the innovative applications of microelectronics and optoelectronics have driven the innovative applications of microelectronics and optoelectronics. In terms of optoelectronic technology, AI data centers are able to strengthen the calculation and data transmission capacity of the high-speed optical module. Accordingly, the compound semiconductor epitaxy wafer becomes an important component in the high-speed optical modules and plays an important role in optoelectronic technology. In addition, the development of AI servers and data centers has also driven the advancement of high-performance wireless technologies such as WiFi 7, providing higher transmission efficiency and lower latency, thereby improving the performance of AI applications. In the future, with the development of AI glasses, robot sensing

8

technologies, and the increasing demand for high-speed transmission in industrial, medical, and smart manufacturing fields, the epitaxy technology of the optoelectronics industry is expected to continue to be benefited from such technology developments and demands, which will further secure the position of epitaxy-related technology in the AI supply chain.

The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has announced the "Green and Financial Transformation Action Plan" in 2024, covering six main aspects of funding support, carbon data establishment, etc., in order to promote net-zero transformation. The Company actively responds to such policy and action plan, and aims to strengthen the information disclosure and to cultivate sustainable talents. In addition, we also cooperate with the policy based on the three main aspects of capital, data and disclosure, and to seek green financial resources while improving the carbon data management and information transparency. Furthermore, we have published the 2023 Sustainability Report on July 26, 2024. In the future, we will continue to strengthen ESG competitiveness and promote corporate sustainable development through resource integration and financial support.

The global economy for 2025 is expected to maintain a steady growth. Taiwan's economy is closely related to the global economy, and Taiwan's economic fundamental is strong. The expansion of emerging technology applications, such as AI and related electronic products, will further drive the export and investment momentum, and AI will be more widely used and deeply integrated into our daily lives, including the fields of smart homes, self-driving vehicles, biotechnology, medical industry innovation and financial services. In other words, AI will be applied in almost all fields and is expected to drive the revolutionary development for a new generation of computation and communication. Moreover, the domestic demand is also expected to increase steadily. Nevertheless, the economy in 2025 will still face numerous challenges. The new tariff measures in the US, the intensification of trade barriers around the world, and geopolitical conflicts may have a negative impact on the global economy. In the face of these challenges, the government must closely monitor the global economic situation and strictly strengthen risk management, diversify the market, and increase the ability to respond to external impacts, in order to seize opportunities and to achieve sustainable development.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of VISUAL PHOTONICS EPITAXY CO., LTD.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd. as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd. as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparations 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 Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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 Accountants in 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 judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 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 Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd.’s financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:

Appropriateness of cut-off of warehouse operating revenue

Description

For accounting policy of revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4(22).

The types of sale is separated into direct delivery from factory and warehouse operating revenue. The warehouse operating revenue involves shipping the goods to the warehouse in the USA or others first, then customer pick-up the goods. When the control of goods are transferred, and revenue is recognized. Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd.’s revenue is recognized in accordance with statements provided by sales customers

12

or online shipping system information.

Due to the multi-location of the warehouses and the different frequency of each custodian providing their statements, the revenue recognition procedure is complex and involves reconciliation of mutual payments. Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd.’s daily transaction quantity is voluminous and the transaction amount around the balance sheet date is significant to the financial statements, therefore, we determined that the appropriateness of cut-off of warehouse operating revenue as one of the key audit matters for this fiscal year.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect to the above matter included:

1. Obtained an understanding and tested the timing of sales revenue recognition procedures between Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd. and the customers to verify the effectiveness of the internal control for warehouse operating revenue recognition.

2. Performed cut-off test on the transactions of warehouse operating revenue around the period of balance sheet date, including verifying the supporting documents of warehouse custodian, the movement of accounted inventory, and related records of cost of goods sold generated to evaluate the timing appropriateness of warehouse operating revenue recognition.

3. Performed confirmation or physical inventory count observation to confirm the inventory quantities and agreed the results to accounting records. In addition, inspected the reason for the difference between the confirmation replies or physical inventory count observation and accounting records and tested the reconciling items made by management in order to confirm whether the significant differences have been adjusted.

Valuation of inventory

Description

For description of accounting policy on inventory valuation, please refer to Note 4(10). For accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 5(2). For description of allowance for inventory valuation losses, please refer to Note 6(4).

As of December 31, 2024, Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd.’s inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses amounted to NT $619,724 thousand and NT $61,136 thousand, respectively.

Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd.’s inventories are mainly optoelectronics semiconductor Epi wafer products. Since the industry involves rapidly changing technology and are affected by the communications industry, there is higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses. Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd.’s inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value, if the price change does not have the expected net realizable value, it may affect the net realizable value estimation result of the inventory evaluation.

Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd.’s determination of net realisable value for obsolete or slow-moving inventories involves subjective judgement resulting in a high degree of estimation uncertainty. Considering the inventories and the allowance for inventory valuation losses are material to its financial statements, we determined that the estimates of the allowance for inventory valuation losses as one of the key audit matters for this fiscal year.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect to the above matter included:

1. Assessed the reasonableness and the consistency of provision policies on allowance for inventory valuation losses and procedures based on our understanding of Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd.’s operation and

13

industry, including the classification of inventory for determining net realizable value.

1. Obtained an understanding of the Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd.’s warehousing control procedures. Reviewed annual physical inventory count plan and participated in the annual inventory count event in order to assess the classification of obsolete inventory and effectiveness of obsolete inventory internal control.

2. Selected samples to check the inventory clearance and historical data of inventory discount in order to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance of inventory valuation losses.

3. Tested the appropriateness of the estimated basis that Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd. adopted to evaluate net realizable value, selected a sample of individual inventory data like inventory selling and accuracy of purchase price, and recalculate and evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses which were determined by management.

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 Preparations 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 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.

Auditor’s 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 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

1. 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.

2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

14

1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

2. 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 auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

3. 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.

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 of the current period 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.

Description:

• (1) The adjustment of retained earnings for 2024 refers to the actuarial gains on defined benefit plan and income tax related to elements of other comprehensive income.

• (2) It is proposed to authorize the Chairman of the Board to set the record dates for dividends payment and distribution of cash dividends once the motion for distribution of cash dividends is resolved at the annual general meeting.

• (3) In the event that the dividend payment ratio is changed due to any subsequent changes to the number of outstanding shares caused by changes in the Company’s capital stock, it is proposed to authorize the Chairman of Board to deal with the situation with full power.

• (4) According to Ministry of Finance letter under Tai-Cai-Shui No. 871941343 dated April 30, 1998, the earning allocation shall apply the specific identification method. Under the Company’s earning allocation policy, the earnings 2024 shall be allocated as the first priority. In the event of any deficits, the distributable earnings accumulated in the past years shall be allocated under the first-in first-out policy, subject to the order of the year in which the earnings are generated.

• (5) The Company’s motion for the 2024 earning allocation adopts the principle that the amount of cash dividends will be rounded off to the nearest dollar and fractional amounts of less than NT$1 will be summed up and allocated based on the size of decimals in descending order and shareholders' account number in ascending order until the total amount of cash dividends is allocated.
