(I) 2021 Business Report & Report to Shareholders
2021 Business Performance
2021 was a year of economic recovery amid COVID-19 pandemic. The risk and uncertainty of variant outbreak had immensely impacted the way we live and work, our economy and government policy making. As we learn and adjust to a new-normal life with COVID-19, the applications of semiconductor had expanded due to pandemic-induced stay-at-home economy as well as emerging technology related to the raising importance of a green economy. As a result, worldwide semiconductor revenue reached an all-time high. However, new wafer capacity was still not in place to accommodate the surge in demand in the past year, while the industry faced prolonged shipping time like all others, downstream suppliers struggled to secure orders and chips shortages became the new status quo. Weikeng Group continued to play the role of connecting technology and creating value in the semiconductor industry. We aim to maintain logistics efficiency to meet client’s production schedule in difficult times. With the diligent efforts of all colleagues and the support of shareholders, the Group consolidated sales revenue and net profit before tax reached approximately NT$72.4 billion and NT$2.4 billion in 2021, respectively, representing a growth of approximately 24% and 163%, and the gross margin of 7.13% and operating income margin of 3.49% have increased by 1.88 percentage points and 1.82 percentage points respectively, hitting new highs in recent years.
Commitment to Sustainable Development
Weikeng is dedicated to strengthen corporate governance and sustainability development. The goal is to partner with our vendors and buyers in the semiconductor industry to build a green sustainable supply chain that reduces environmental impact and act in accordance with social compliance. Vendors of the Company are renowned IDM and fabless companies who follow the code of conducts set by RBA (Responsible Business Alliance) formerly the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), covering five aspects: labor, health and safety, environment, ethics and management system, and as their distributor, we aim to connect our downstream partners to participate accordingly for a better and more sustainable future.
Weikeng implemented BRA practices per vendors’ requests and established the “Code of Conduct for Supplier” in May, 2020, to promote sustainable supply chain proactively. Apart from those already participated in BRA, 50 Weikeng suppliers had signed the agreement to comply with BRA code of conduct as of the end of 2021. An intra department Green Product Management was structured to ensure the compliance with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), and RBA regulations throughout product life cycle. We will continue to connect our downstream clients and devote management resources to issues concerning labor, health and safety, environment, ethics and management system, to build a supply chain that addresses social and environmental issues, and ultimately to implement our sustainable supply chain management strategies.
Emission reduction and energy efficiency have been the main drivers that motivate innovative electronic and technology products for combating climate change. The Company will continue to evaluate risks and opportunities associated with climate change both at
5/77
present and in the foreseeable future. Through collaborations among industry partners who are on the same path, we hope to do our best by devoting more resources in green product development, and leverage our demand creation ability to further extend green technology applications such as battery management system, electric vehicle charging pile, smart grid, wind power, solar power inverter. Since the upstream DIM and fabless vendors had already expanded R&D capacity for the compound/ group III semiconductors, the Company will continue to expand businesses in the automotive/electric vehicle and industrial energy related markets by develop technology supports for more stable, more efficient and lowpower-consuming products as we seize the opportunities in green energy industry.
In 2021, the Company has established Protection of Human Rights Policy, Intellectual Property Management Plan and Risk Management Policies and Procedures as part of the progress of enhancing sustainable development framework. We continued to sponsor environmental awareness documentary, education scholarship, sports events and technology research institutes for the purpose of cultivating high-technology talents, in response to United Nation’s Sustainability Development Goals. In March 2022, the Board of directors had approved the establishment of the Sustainable Development Committee, under which sustainable development team and risk management team were established to ensure the advocacy and implementation of the work related to sustainable development of the Company. The Company is committed to fulfilling corporate social responsibility following international standards and trends. We promise to not only make the effort to respond actively to stakeholders concerning environmental, social and corporate governance related issues, but also conduct risk assessment and take countermeasures to strengthen corporate governance and sustainability.
2022 Business Outlook
In 2022, the semiconductor industry is still facing geopolitical tension and exclusions, production capacity rush and intensive communication within the supply chain, while the major chip manufacturers are also investing massive resources to increase capacities. However, due to the high cost of building new fabs and the prolonged construction period, chips shortages and price adjustments may continue into the second half of 2022 and even into 2023. We may anticipate market uncertainties and challenges as we wait for supplydemand balance in the semiconductor supply chain while entering post-pandemic era. The Company will continue to grasp market insights, meet vendor and customer requirements, closely monitor lead-time of stocking and delivery speed, and to provide technical support to clients. In time of foreseeable growth and business expansion, it is hoped that the management team will lead all colleagues to strictly abide by the risk management policy, operation performance optimization and “Ethical Corporate Management Best Practice Principles”, together we will continue to strive towards the goal of integrity, sustainability and stable operation, and thus create more value for all stakeholders.
Weikeng Group has successfully won the franchises of product lines, covering many semiconductor Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) or IC design companies such as AMD, Amazing, Cypress, Infineon, Lattice, Microchip, Molex, NXP, Sinopower, Vishay, Western Digital, etc. However, the Company continues to find and develop new products and applications in the semiconductor market, look for new cooperation opportunities of franchises, and create new customer demand. At present, in the application fields of
6/77
industrial electronics, automotive electronics, mobile communications, consumer electronics, computer peripherals, and AI/5G, Weikeng Group's regional companies are capable of providing customers with competitive parts, technical support services, and efficient management services of supply chain to achieve a triple win value through the Group's intermediary technology connection between upstream vendors and downstream customers.

(iv) Research Development Status
Under the planning and active pursuit of the "Marketing Development Division", the Company has successfully franchised the product lines of well-known domestic and foreign semiconductor companies as a distributor, and even successfully maintained or expanded the continuation of the franchises after the consolidation between the upstream vendors. In addition to continuing to establish a solid foothold in the application field of 3C electronic products, the "FAE Division" also actively cooperates with the vendors to provide technical support for the relevant IC products that customers need in emerging application fields, so as to increase the Company's business territory, help customers save R&D expenses and shorten the electronic products of time-to-market, and enhance service levels to strengthen the cooperative relationship with vendors and customers.
In the “Solution Division”, we are moving into the field of R&D and design, specializing in the turnkey solution of products. Given the fast growing scope of semiconductor and its emerging application solutions, in addition to franchising the product lines of well-known domestic and foreign semiconductor companies as a distributor, the “Marketing Development Division” is leading the search for new distributorships, paying close attention to and assessing the applications and development of products rolled out by startups and
7/77
new ventures, including the development of green economy-related applications, and timely investing the development resources of the “Solution Division”, and then introducing the technical support and demand creation services of the “FAE Division”.
At this stage, the Group’s companies are developing product solutions for 5G (smartphones, Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) and Small Cell Station), artificial intelligence/AIoT, WiFi 6, automotive electronics (including electric vehicles, electric locomotives, charging piles/stations, etc.), consumer electronics, industrial control, Type C-Power Delivery(PD), and various power supply applications. We also devote our resources to the development of product solutions for servers/data centers, motor control, battery energy storage management systems, human-machine interface for invehicle infotainment systems and Center Information Display (CID), in order to provide customers with immediate product reference solutions. All of these solutions are now available to customers.

8/77
profitability must be critically examined and assessed.
(iii) Expected sales volume and its basis in 2022
The Company classifies the franchising products into chipsets/special application standard ICs, mixed signals and discrete components according to product characteristics. In 2022, the external environment posts challenges as it double-struck by the US-China disputes of trading brinkmanship and the COVID-19 epidemic. We continue to navigate through supply chain disruption driven by the conflict and pressure from US fed interest rate uncertainty. However, based on the management team’s consideration of relevant research institutions’ estimates of the semiconductor industry’s sales forecast, the upstream vendors’ set targets and the Company's internal business plan, the operating target of sales forecast for the fiscal year 2022 is expected to have growth opportunities, despite the challenges and difficulties in external environment.
The Company's management team and all colleagues hereby give thanks to all shareholders for your support and encouragement. We also look forward to all of your continuing greatest support and advice to Weikeng. Wishing all shareholders a good health and all the best!

Independent Auditors ’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. ( “ the Company ” ), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors ’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China ( “ the Code ” ), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judged shall be presented in the auditors ’ report as follows:
- Recognition of Operating Revenue
Please refer to note (4)(m) “ Revenue recognition ” for accounting policies with respect to recognizing revenue, and to note (6)(s) “ Revenue from contracts with customers ” for explanatory notes about revenue.
Description of key audit matters:
Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. is a listed company. The Company is a distributor for the sale of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Operating revenue is one of the significant items in the financial statements, and the amounts and changes of operating revenue may affect the users ’ understanding of the entire financial statements. Therefore, the testing over revenue recognition is considered a key matter in our audit.
41/77
==> picture [53 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our main audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters include testing the Company ’ s controls surrounding revenue recognition in the order-to-cash transaction cycle, including reconciliations between the general ledger and sales system; performing the detailed test of relevant vouchers, as well as assessing whether the Company ’ s timing on revenue recognition and the amounts recognized are in accordance with related standards.
2. Valuation of Inventories
Please refer to note (4)(g) “ Inventories ” for accounting policies with respect to valuating inventories, to note (5) "Valuation of inventories" for accounting estimates and uncertainties of affairs for inventory valuation; and to note (6)(f) “ Inventories ” for explanatory notes about inventories and related expenses.
Description of key audit matters:
The Company is a distributor for the sale of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Due to the horizontal competition in the industry and constant advancement of related technologies, the price of end electronic products are volatile, and thus, affects the price of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Therefore, the testing over the valuation of inventories is considered a key matter in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our main audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters include testing the related control over the cost operating cycle; evaluating whether the policies for setting aside allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses are in accordance with the Company ’ s policies and related standards; and executing the implementation of sampling procedures to check the correctness of stock age. In addition, we also examined the inventory aging reports, understood the subsequent sales status of slow-moving inventories; and evaluated the adopted basis of net realizable value to verify the rationality of the management ’ s estimates on the allowance for inventory valuation.
- The share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries and investments accounted for using equity method
Please refer to note (4)(h) ” Investments of subsidiaries ” for the accounting policies; note (6)(g) ” Investments accounted for using equity method ” for explanatory notes about the investments under equity method.
Description of key audit matters:
The subsidiaries, which are recognized under equity method, are distributors for the sale of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment with holding material assets, such as accounts receivable and inventories. Therefore, the share of profit of subsidiaries and investments accounted for using equity method which is one of the material items in the financial statements is considered a key matter in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our main audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters include understanding the related control over investments accounted for using equity method; testing the changes of the investment under equity method within the year, including the recognition of investments gains (losses) and the share of comprehensive income; as well as assessing whether the Company ’ s recognition of investments are in accordance with the related standards.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company ’ s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including 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 auditors ’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company ’ s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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.
-
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.
43/77
==> picture [53 x 24] intentionally omitted <==
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investments in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors ’ report are Jui-Lan Lo and Yiu-Kwan Au.

Independent Auditors ’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries ( “ the Group ” ), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards ( “ IFRSs ” ), International Accounting Standards ( “ IASs ” ), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ( “ IFRIC ” ) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee ( “ SIC ” ) endorsed and issued into effect by the 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 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 Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of the Republic of China ( “ the Code ” ), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judged shall be presented in the auditors ’ report as follows:
1. Recognition of Operating Revenue
Please refer to note (4)(m) “ Revenue recognition ” for accounting policies with respect to recognizing revenue, and to note (6)(r) “ Revenue from contracts with customers ” for explanatory notes about revenue.
51/77
==> picture [53 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
Description of key audit matters:
Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. is a listed company. The Group is a distributor for the sale of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Operating revenue is one of the significant items in the consolidated financial statements, and the amounts and changes of operating revenue may affect the users ’ understanding of the entire financial statements. Therefore, the testing over revenue recognition is considered a key matter in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our main audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters include testing the Group's controls surrounding revenue recognition in the order-to-cash transaction cycle, including reconciliations between the general ledger and sales system; performing the detailed test of relevant vouchers, as well as assessing whether the Group ’ s timing on revenue recognition and the amounts recognized are in accordance with the related standards.
2. Valuation of Inventories
Please refer to note (4)(h) “ Inventories ” for accounting policies with respect to valuating inventories; note (5) "Valuation of inventories" for accounting estimates and uncertainties of affairs for inventory valuation, and to note (6)(f) “ Inventories ” for explanatory notes about inventories and related expenses.
Description of key audit matters:
The Group is a distributor for the sale of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Due to the horizontal competition in the industry and constant advancement of related technologies, the price of end electronic products are volatile, and thus, affects the price of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Therefore, the testing over the valuation of inventories is considered a key matter in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our main audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters include testing the related control over the cost operating cycle; evaluating whether the policies for setting aside allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses are in accordance with the Group ’ s policies and related standard; taking into consideration the possible impact of COVID-19s; and executing the implementation of sampling procedures to check the correctness of stock age. In addition, we also examined the inventory aging reports; understood the subsequent sales status of slow-moving inventories; and evaluated the adopted basis of net realizable value to verify the rationality of the management ’ s estimates on the allowance for inventory valuation.
Other Matter
Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. has additionally prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The 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 IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the 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.
52/77
==> picture [53 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
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 Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group ’ s financial reporting process.
Auditors ’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors ’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on this 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.
53/77
==> picture [53 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
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 consolidated 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors ’ report are Jui-Lan Lo and Yiu-Kwan Au.
