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 year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with 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 audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 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.
1. Account receivables impairment
Please refer to Note 4(g), Note 5(a) and Note 6(c) for accounting policies, significant accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty and related disclosure information for account receivables, respectively.
Description of the key audit matter:
The recovery of accounts receivable is not only affected by the market, but also related to the financial soundness of the customers themselves. It is difficult to assess the signs of impairment of accounts receivable. In the accounts receivable evaluation module, the Group first divides the accounts receivable into groups
19
according to whether they are overdue, calculate the average loss rate of each group in the past five years, and evaluate the current year’s prosperity compared with the previous year. The expected loss rate is adjusted according to changes in the business cycle to recognize the allowance of bad debts. The focus of attention is whether the expected loss rate for impairment is excessively conservative or optimistic. Therefore, the evaluation of account receivables has been identified as a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included understanding the policy for account receivables impairment of the Group to evaluate the suitability of the policy; obtaining the related data from the Group to ensure the process of account receivables impairment is in conformity with the accounting policies; recalculating estimation of account receivables impairment based on the Group’s policies; obtaining the financial disclosure data to evaluate whether the disclosure is appropriate; executing post-period recovery test to evaluate the suitability of allowance of bad debts recognized at balance sheet date.
2. Inventory Obsolescence Evaluation
Please refer to Note 4(h), Note 5(b) and Note 6(e) for accounting policies, significant accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty and related disclosure information for inventory, respectively.
Description of the key audit matter:
The main business items of the Group are power supplies and electronic parts. In addition to sales, there are also manufacturing activities. Precious metals are the main materials. As the international situation changes, the price of precious metals will fluctuate. It directly affects the evaluation of inventory value. In the inventory evaluation model of the Group, the inventory is divided into obsolescent and non-obsolescent inventory, and then evaluated separately. If there is no movement in a certain period, it is classified as obsolescence, and recognized 100% of allowance. The focus of attention is whether the provision of allowances for all obsolescence is excessively conservative, and whether the batch of inventory is completely worthless at the time of disposal. Therefore, the evaluation of inventory obsolescence has been identified as a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included understanding the policy for the provision of allowance for inventory of the Group to evaluate the suitability of the policy; obtaining the related data from the Group to ensure the process of inventory valuation is in conformity with the accounting policies; recalculating estimation of inventory valuation based on the Group’s policies; obtaining the financial disclosure data to evaluate whether the disclosure is appropriate; sampling post-period movement to see whether there is a significant difference between the selling price and the price information used in the evaluation model and to evaluate the suitability of inventory obsolescence losses recognized.
Other Matter
Zippy Technology Corp. 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 unqualified opinion.
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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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.
20
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 or supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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 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 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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
21
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 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Rou-Lan Kuo and Ying-Ru Chen.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Zippy Technology Corp.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Zippy Technology Corp.(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and 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 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 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 Certification 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.
1. Account receivables impairment
Please refer to Note 4(f), Note 5(a) and Note 6(c) for accounting policies, significant accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty and related disclosure information for account receivables, respectively.
Description of the key audit matter:
The recovery of accounts receivable is not only affected by the market, but also related to the financial soundness of the customers themselves. It is difficult to assess the signs of impairment of accounts receivable. In the accounts receivable evaluation module, the Company first divides the accounts receivable into groups according to whether they are overdue, calculate the average loss rate of each group in the past five years, and evaluate the current year’s prosperity compared with the previous year. The expected loss rate is adjusted according to changes in the business cycle to recognize the allowance of bad debts. The focus of attention is whether the expected loss rate for impairment is excessively conservative or optimistic. Therefore, the evaluation of account receivables has been identified as a key audit matter.
27
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included understanding the policy for account receivables impairment of the Company to evaluate the suitability of the policy; obtaining the related data from the Company to ensure the process of account receivables impairment is in conformity with the accounting policies; recalculating estimation of account receivables impairment based on the Company’s policies; obtaining the financial disclosure data to evaluate whether the disclosure is appropriate; executing post-period recovery test to evaluate the suitability of allowance of bad debts recognized at balance sheet date.
2. Inventory Obsolescence Evaluation
Please refer to Note 4(g), Note 5(b) and Note 6(e) for accounting policies, significant accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty and related disclosure information for inventory, respectively.
Description of the key audit matter:
The main business items of the Company are power supplies and electronic parts. In addition to sales, there are also manufacturing activities. Precious metals are the main materials. As the international situation changes, the price of precious metals will fluctuate. It directly affects the evaluation of inventory value. In the inventory evaluation model of the Company, the inventory is divided into obsolescent and non-obsolescent inventory, and then evaluated separately. If there is no movement in a certain period, it is classified as obsolescence, and recognized 100% of allowance. The focus of attention is whether the provision of allowances for all obsolescence is excessively conservative, and whether the batch of inventory is completely worthless at the time of disposal. Therefore, the evaluation of inventory obsolescence has been identified as a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included understanding the policy for the provision of allowance for inventory of the Company to evaluate the suitability of the policy; obtaining the related data from the Company to ensure the process of inventory valuation is in conformity with the accounting policies; recalculating estimation of inventory valuation based on the Company’s policies; obtaining the financial disclosure data to evaluate whether the disclosure is appropriate; sampling post-period movement to see whether there is a significant difference between the selling price and the price information used in the evaluation model and to evaluate the suitability of inventory obsolescence losses recognized.
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 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 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
28
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 auditors’ 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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
29
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 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Rou-Lan Kuo and Ying-Ru Chen.
