II. 2021 Business Plan Overview

  1. Operating policies

  2. (1) To plan the mid/long-term development strategy, aiming for continuous growth of company profit and sustainability of operation.

  3. (2) To create the maximum value of semiconductor component distributors in the supply chain and establish and operate long-term customer-supplier relationships.

  4. (3) To build a harmonious labor-management relationship and create a win-win situation for employees and the company.

  5. Expected sales volume and its basis:

The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) expects the worldwide semiconductor market growth to rise from 6.8 percent in 2020 to an outstanding 25.6 percent in the year 2021, which corresponds to a market size of US$ 553 billion. This will be the biggest step-up, since a 31.8% increase in 2010, eleven years ago. Furthermore, it is expected continuing to grow by 8.8 percent in 2022.

The semiconductor market overall was not negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. Robust consumer demand pushed all major product categories to double-digit growth-rates, except Optoelectronics. The largest growth contributors are Memory with 34.6 percent, followed by Analog with 30.9 percent and Logic with 27.3 percent.

For 2022, the global semiconductor is expected for a gradually supply and demand balance, after experiencing full capacity and short supply in 2021. Furthermore, the type and quantity of terminal electronic products also provides strong support for thriving semiconductor market in the coming 2022 with further growth. The global semiconductor market is projected to grow by 8.8 percent to US$ 601 billion, driven by a double-digit growth of the Sensors and Logic category. All other product categories are also expected to show positive growth rates. All regions are expected to grow in 2022.

  1. Significant Marketing Policies

  2. (1) Focus on application areas of seven major products

  3. Facing the increasingly fierce competition in the electronics industry, Zenitron is committed to becoming a "value-added supplier of application design solutions." We strengthen our own research and development capabilities, break away from the trading of traditional components, provide customers with overall solutions, speed up the time for customers to launch their products, and create irreplaceable value. In order to match the solution-oriented marketing mode, the Company integrated the existing marketing team and also commit to training FAE and R&D designers. Currently effectiveness through hard work of application design solutions has gradually shown, and specific solutions in seven areas such as, “handheld devices”, “computers and peripherals”, “power management”, “consumer electronics", "communication and network", "industrial power supply", and "automotive electronics". In addition to focusing on the integration of existing agency line products, we also set up a market development department to actively seek new agency lines to strengthen the competitiveness of various solutions.

  4. (2) Continue to expand product line

  5. In response to the epidemic, the reduction of personnel flow and contact needs will further catalyze the development of IoT technology. Within this technology, related IoT devices used for manufacturing, medical monitoring, and service reception are the main growth drivers. Related IoT devices will integrate AI computing, image recognition, high-speed transmission and other hardware collocations based on requirement of users and environments; related

  6. 6 -

functions to the processing performance of related semiconductors, Netcom integration, and power consumption are with higher requirements. Therefore, no matter from the upstream chip to the downstream end product, cloud big data, 5G transmission, data center and artificial intelligence will be the focus of future development. The company also focuses on key applications and expands its agent product line to provide better services.

  • (3) Strengthen FAE technical support and capabilities of design and development, and focus on solution and marketing strategies

  • It is the company's business strategy to become a “value-added distributor with leading technology". Therefore, mastering new technologies, training professional R&D talents, and developing high-quality application design solutions are important goals for the company's talent cultivation. By providing solutions, customers’ research and development costs and time can be reduced, also customers’ loyalty can be cultivated so as to widen the gap with competitors. On the other hand, the development of its own technology will help the company strive for new product agency rights and strengthen the competitiveness of its product line.

  • (4) Cooperate with IC Design House to develop new products

  • Semiconductor component distributors are the bridge between the upstream IC Design House and the downstream system factories. They grasp first-hand market information and can provide reference for upstream suppliers in product development and marketing. The company has established further partnerships with IC Design House at home and abroad, actively participated in the development of new products, and sold through the company’s channels to create a win-win situation.

  • (5) Establish strategic alliances to increase product agency opportunities

  • The company is also constantly seeking business opportunities in new markets to increase its competitive advantage. In the long run, the main core of the focus of company’s development will still be the semiconductor component channel. In the future, Company will focus on its own business and extend its investment in electronic channel-related businesses, and master technology and semiconductor industry through investment in upstream IC Design House or strategic alliances with peers. Zenitron increases product agency opportunities, creates revenue growth and profit sources, and expands the service depth of the component channel industry for upstream, midstream, and downstream related manufacturers.

  • Future development strategy

  • Facing the increasingly fierce competition in the electronics industry, Zenitron is committed to becoming a "value-added supplier of application design solutions". To create irreplaceable value of the Company, we strengthen own R&D capabilities, break away from the trading of traditional components, provide customers with overall solutions, and accelerate customers’ product launches time schedule. To align with the solution-oriented marketing mode, the company not only integrates the existing marketing team but also strives to train FAE and R&D design personnel. The current efforts in application design solutions have gradually shown results in seven major fields including "Handheld Devices", "Computers and Peripherals", "Consumer Electronics", "Communications and Networks", "Industrial Power", and "Automotive Electronics", all with specific program content. In addition to focusing on the integration of existing agency line products, we also set up a market development department to actively seek new agency lines to strengthen the competitiveness of various solutions.

  • The influence of the external competition environment, the legal environment and the overall operation environment

  • Changes in the global economic climate, exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate adjustments, updates in relevant policies and regulations, and the international situation uncertainty all affect

  • 7 -

company financial business; therefore, in response to the possibility and impact of various risk factors, the company conducts risk control and management in the scope of market, environment, finance and operation.

COVID-19 pandemic has prompted enterprises to accelerate the pace of digital transformation, and important IT infrastructure, such as Netcom and computing industries, is taking advantage of the situation and thriving. Products services such as the Internet of Things, Cloud computing, and industrial computers focus on technologies and scenarios of smart medical care, edge computing, and long-distance non-contact that enhance enterprise resilience and survival flexibility. Constant growth of demand for more types and quantities of semiconductor components will be driven by AI combined with emerging technologies and applications such as the Internet of Things, automotive electronics, and compound semiconductors, and so becoming the main driving force to the growth of the semiconductor industry in the post-epidemic era. Despite the fact that pandemic has impacted the world in 2021, semiconductors, however, not been affected but broke out and shown an explosive growth. In total, 17 manufacturers in worldwide semiconductor supply chain have gained profit reaching more than US$10 billion, and capital expenditure of semiconductor facilities has set a new record of NT$4.2 trillion. Looking ahead to 2022, IEK Consulting of the Industrial Technology Research Institute predicts that the global semiconductor flourish is expected to continue, benefiting from emerging applications, digital transformation and policy support.

The company set the goal of becoming an international semiconductor component distributor. The management team shall adhere to stable and conservative operation principles, build a thorough service network by a dense business marketing system, proactively accelerate market share and expand revenue scales, and improve profit level to face the severe challenges in the future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Zenitron Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Zenitron Corporation (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 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 generally accepted auditing standards in 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 the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2021 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s 2021 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

  • 11 -

Valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable

Description

Refer to Note 4(7)(8), Note 5(1) and Note 6(4) for accounting policies on accounts receivable, accounting estimates and assumptions on impairment assessment as well as details of related impairment, respectively.

The Company assesses impairment of accounts receivable based on historical experience and takes into consideration the customers’ historical default records and current financial conditions to estimate expected loss rate in recognising loss allowance. In addition, the Company provides for full allowance for uncollectible accounts from individual customers where there is an indication that they are individually identified as impaired or a credit impairment actually occurred. As the assessment of allowance for uncollectible accounts is subject to management’s judgment and estimates in determining the future collectability, such as management’s assessment of customer’s credit risk, we considered the valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable from individual customers a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Understood and evaluated related policies and internal controls on credit risk management and accounts receivable impairment.

  2. Assessed the calculation logic of year-end accounts receivable ageing report provided by management, reviewed the related supporting documents and verified it against the accounting records to ascertain the accuracy of the ageing classification.

  3. For those material accounts receivable individually identified by the management to have been impaired, reviewed the supporting documents of impairment assessment provided by the management to assess the reasonableness of collectability.

  4. Sampled significant overdue accounts receivable amounts and examined their subsequent collections.

  5. 12 -

Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses

Description

Refer to Note 4(11), Note 5(2) and Note 6(5) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, accounting estimates and assumptions and details of allowance for valuation losses, respectively.

The Company is mainly engaged in sales of electronic components. The Company measures ending inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value and provides allowance for inventory valuation losses based on usable condition of inventories that were individually identified as obsolete. As the life cycle of such inventories is short, the market is competitive, and the assessment of allowance for valuation of inventories individually identified as obsolete often involves management’s subjective judgment, we considered the estimation of inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Understood and evaluated the internal control procedures over the Company’s inventories individually identified as obsolete.

  2. Understood the Company’s warehousing control procedures, reviewed the annual physical inventory count plan as well as participated and observed the annual physical inventory count in order to assess the effectiveness of the procedures the management used to identify and control obsolete inventories.

  3. Obtained the details of inventories that were individually identified as obsolete by the management, reviewed the related supporting documents and verified it against the accounting records.

Appropriateness of warehouse revenue cut-off

Description

Refer to Note 4(23) for accounting policies on revenue recognition.

The Company has two revenue types, including direct shipment from its own warehouses and shipment from distribution warehouses. For shipment from distribution warehouses, revenue is recognised when goods are picked up by customers. The Company’s responsible unit regularly obtains the inventory movement records generated from the inventory warehousing system of the customer’s distribution warehouses. The supporting documents for revenue recognition include inventory movement records.

  • 13 -

As the distribution warehouses are located separately in various regions in China, the process of revenue recognition involves numerous manual procedures. Considering the appropriateness of the timing of distribution warehouses’ sales revenue recognition, we considered the recognition of distribution warehouses sales revenue a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Understood the procedures of revenue recognition for shipment from distribution warehouses, evaluated and sampled the internal controls over two parties’ daily reconciliation.

  2. Obtained the inventory movement records generated from the inventory warehousing system of the customer’s distribution warehouses for a certain period before and after the balance sheet date and checked whether the timing of revenue recognition was reasonable.

  3. Observed the physical inventory count or sent out confirmation letters to the distribution warehouses with significant inventory amount.

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 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.

In preparing the parent company only 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.

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 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 parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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 that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

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

  4. 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 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 statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. 15 -

  7. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 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 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 parent company only financial statements of the current year 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Zenitron Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zenitron Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of 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 at 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, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in 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, 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2021 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group’s 2021 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

  • 22 -

Valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable

Description

Refer to Note 4(8)(9), Note 5(1) and Note 6(4) for accounting policies on accounts receivable, accounting estimates and assumptions on impairment assessment as well as details of related impairment, respectively.

The Group assesses impairment of accounts receivable based on historical experience and takes into consideration the customers’ historical default records and current financial conditions to estimate expected loss rate in recognising loss allowance. In addition, the Group provides for full allowance for uncollectible accounts from individual customers where there is an indication that they are individually identified as impaired or a credit impairment actually occurred. As the assessment of allowance for uncollectible accounts is subject to management’s judgment and estimates in determining the future collectability, such as management’s assessment of customer’s credit risk, we considered the valuation of allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable from individual customers a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Understood and evaluated related policies and internal controls on credit risk management and accounts receivable impairment.

  2. Assessed the calculation logic of year-end accounts receivable ageing report provided by management, reviewed the related supporting documents and verified it against the accounting records to ascertain the accuracy of the ageing classification.

  3. For those material accounts receivable individually identified by the management to have been impaired, reviewed the supporting documents of impairment assessment provided by the management to assess the reasonableness of collectability.

  4. Sampled significant overdue accounts receivable amounts and examined their subsequent collections.

  5. 23 -

Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses

Description

Refer to Note 4(11), Note 5(2) and Note 6(5) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, accounting estimates and assumptions and details of allowance for valuation losses, respectively.

The Group is mainly engaged in sales of electronic components. The Group measures ending inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value and provides allowance for inventory valuation losses based on usable condition of inventories that were individually identified as obsolete. As the life cycle of such inventories is short, the market is competitive, and the assessment of allowance for valuation of inventories individually identified as obsolete often involves management’s subjective judgment, we considered the estimation of inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Understood and evaluated the internal control procedures over the Group’s inventories individually identified as obsolete.

  2. Understood the Group’s warehousing control procedures, reviewed the annual physical inventory count plan as well as participated and observed the annual physical inventory count in order to assess the effectiveness of the procedures the management used to identify and control obsolete inventories.

  3. Obtained the details of inventories that were individually identified as obsolete by the management, reviewed the related supporting documents and verified it against the accounting records.

Recognition of distribution warehouses sales revenue

Description

Refer to Note 4(22) for accounting policies on revenue recognition.

The Group has two revenue types, including direct shipment from its own warehouses and shipment from distribution warehouses. For shipment from distribution warehouses, revenue is recognised when goods are picked up by customers. The Group’s responsible unit regularly obtains the inventory movement records generated from the inventory warehousing system of the customer’s distribution warehouses. The supporting documents for revenue recognition include inventory movement records. As the distribution warehouses are located separately in various regions in China, the process of revenue recognition involves numerous manual procedures. Considering the appropriateness of the timing of distribution warehouses’ sales revenue recognition, we considered the recognition of distribution warehouses sales revenue a key audit matter.

  • 24 -

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Understood the procedures of revenue recognition for shipment from distribution warehouses, evaluated and sampled the internal controls over the two parties’ daily reconciliation.

  2. Obtained the inventory movement records generated from the inventory warehousing system of the customer’s distribution warehouses for a certain period before and after the balance sheet date and checked whether the timing of revenue recognition was reasonable.

  3. Observed the physical inventory count or sent out confirmation letters to the distribution warehouses with significant inventory amount.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Zenitron Corporation as at and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

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’

  • 25 -

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 consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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.

  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 Group’s internal control.

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

  4. 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 26 -

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 consolidated financial statements of the current year 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.
