Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of 104 Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of 104 Corporation ("the Company"), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years 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, 2020 and 2019, 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 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 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 taken as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Based on our judgement, the key audit matters that should be communicated in this audit report are as follows:

Revenue recognition

Please refer to note 4(12) for accounting policy related to revenue recognition, and note 6(14) for the disclosure related to revenue from contracts with customers of the financial statements.

3-2

Description of key audit matter:

The Company’s operating revenues is the main indicator for investors and management to assess their financial or business performance. Since the Company is a listed company, it has a high risk of false representation. Furthermore, revenue recognition is extremely important in preparing the financial statements of the Company. The Company’s operating revenues mainly derive from providing online advertising and consulting services, wherein they are recognized in the following different ways. Additionally, the Company often received its payments in advance after the contracts are signed; therefore, the amount is deferred according to the Company’s policy and recognized as revenue once the service is performed. The aforementioned matter is the basis for the Company’s management to determine the amount of revenue that can be recognized, therefore, revenue recognition was considered to be one of the key audit matters in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our audit procedures included:

  • ‧ Assessing and testing the design, as well as the effectiveness of the operating on the control over sales and collection cycle. Selecting appropriate samples and comparing them to relevant documents such as customer order and confirmation of completion order signed by customer to assess whether revenue and deferred revenue have been appropriately recognized.

  • ‧ Performing comparison analysis on operating revenue of the current period to last period and the latest quarter to assess the existence of any significant exceptions, and further identify and analyze the reasons, if there is any significant exception.

  • ‧ Performing test-of-detail on operating revenue to assess the assertions of existence and accuracy, as well as the appropriateness of recognition.

  • ‧ Examining relevant documents of a period before and after the balance sheets date, such as customer order, information reported back from business department, or confirmation of completion of duty executed by customer, and verify the accuracy of the amount recognized as revenue in accordance with the timing of service provided or quantity provided to determine whether the deferred revenue should not be recognized as revenue and whether operating revenue has been appropriately 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 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 are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

3-3

Auditors’ 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:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

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

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

  6. 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 the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company 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.

3-4

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 Min-Ju Chao and Lily Lu.

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in these financial statements.

The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized as follows:

  • 1) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers".

  • 2) Basis of preparation

  • Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • (A) Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • (B) The defined benefit liabilities are measured at fair value of the plan assets less, the present value of the defined benefit obligation, limited as explained in note 4(14).

  • Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars (NTD), which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in NTD has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(Continued)

Notes to Financial Statements

3) Foreign currency

  1. Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Company entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At end of each subsequent reporting period monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date when fair value was determined. Non-monetary items determined in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the translation.

2. Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the Company's functional currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, exchange differences arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.

4) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.

  1. It is expected to realize, or intended to be sold or consumed, during normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. The asset is cash or cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

(Continued)

11

104 CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

The Company shall classify a liability as current when:

  1. It is expected to be settled during normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period even if the liability has been refinanced as long-term loans or the payments have been rescheduled after the reporting period but before the approval from the board of directors; or

  4. The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  5. 5) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise checking deposits, demand deposits, time deposits and bonds purchased under resell agreements (hereinafter referred to as "RS bond"). Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

  • 6) Financial instruments

Trade receivable are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

  1. Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through profit of loss (FVTPL). Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • (A) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • ‧ its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(Continued)

12

104 CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

(B) Fair value through profit or loss

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost as above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • (C) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets).

Loss allowance for accounts receivable and notes receivable are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL). Loss allowances for other financial assets are considered reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available (without undue cost or effort). This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company's historical experience, informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information, when the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to expected credit loss resulting from possible default events of a financial instrument within 12 months after the reporting date. If, on the other hand, there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to expected credit loss resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

(Continued)

104 CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

(D) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

2. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • (A) Equity instruments

Equity instruments refer to surplus equities of the assets after the deduction of all the debts for any contracts. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received less the direct cost of issuing.

  • (B) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are those not classified as measured at FVTPL or designated as such on initial recognition (including accounts payable and other payables). Financial liabilities are measured at fair value and any directly attributable transaction costs allocated to the liability.

The financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

  • (C) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (D) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(Continued)

104 CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

  • 7) Investment in subsidiaries

When preparing the financial statements, investment in subsidiaries which are controlled by the Company is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary as well as the distribution received. The Company also recognized its share in the changes in the equity of subsidiaries. In subsidiaries which are controlled by the Company is accounted for preparing the statement by each period.

Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for within equity.

  • 8) Property, plant and equipment

  • Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

  1. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

  1. Depreciation

The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual amount, and it shall be allocated on a straight-line basis over its useful life. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of significant items of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative years, are as follows:

Buildings 3 to 50 years
Computer equipment 2 to 5 years
Office equipment 3 to 4 years
Leasehold improvement 2 to 5 years
Transportation equipment 3 years
Other equipment 2 to 5 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is recorded for as a change in accounting estimate.

9) Lease

  1. Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

  • (A) the contract involves the use of an identified asset this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

  • (B) the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

  • (C) The customer has the right to the direct use of its asset if either:

    • ‧ the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or

    • ‧ the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

      • - the customer has the right to operate its asset, wherein the providers do not have the right to change; or

      • - the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how, and for what purpose, it will be used.

  • As a lessee

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

(Continued)

16

104 CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • (A) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

  • (B) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • (C) amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • (D) payments or penalties for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • (A) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • (B) there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

  • (C) there is a change in the Company’s evaluation of purchase options; or

  • (D) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or

  • (E) there is any modifications.

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the balance sheets.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases offices and parking spaces. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(Continued)

104 CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

  • 10) Intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  1. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the finite economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  1. Amortization

The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of computer software is 1~3 years.

The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • 11) Impairment non-derivative financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than deferred tax assets and assets due from employee benefits) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 12) Recognition of Revenue

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company's main types of revenue are explained below.

(Continued)

18

104 CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

  1. Online advertising and consulting service

The Company provides online advertising and consulting services to enterprises and recognizes its revenue in the accounting period in which service is performed. Part of fixed-price online advertising service contracts which service is provided with specified quantity over a fixed period of time or for services with undefined quantity. Revenue is recognized on the percentage of services to be performed on the reporting date as total services.

Part of fixed-price consulting service contracts include software licensing, customized services and other relevant services. Software licensing and customized services are two single performance obligations, wherein their transaction prices are allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. At the beginning of the contract, management estimates the stand-alone selling price based on the type of software to be provided and the observable price for providing similar services to similar customers under similar circumstances. If any, the discount is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Software licensing revenue is recognized after the controlling right of software has been transferred. Customized service revenue is recognized on the percentage of services performed to date as total services to be performed during the period of contract.

Under fixed-price contracts, customer pay the fixed amount according to the agreed payment terms. The payment excesses the services be performed as a contract liability.

2. Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

  • 13) Government grants

The Company recognizes an unconditional government grant related to the business in profit or loss as other income when the grant becomes receivable. Grants that compensate the Company for expenses or losses incurred are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses or losses are recognized.

  • 14) Employee benefits

  • Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

  1. Defined benefit plans

The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

(Continued)

19

104 CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the total of any unrecognized past service costs and the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

3. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

15) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

Grant date of a share-based payment award is the date which the board of directors authorized the price and number of a new award.

16) Income taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.

(Continued)

20

104 CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes shall not be recognized for the exceptions below:

  1. Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;

  2. Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

  3. Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  1. The Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  2. The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  3. (A) the same taxable entity; or

  4. (B) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Deferred tax assets should be recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date, and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

  • 17) Earnings per share

The Company discloses the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as restricted employee shares and employee remuneration.

Notes to Financial Statements

18) Segment information

The Company discloses its information on operating segments in its consolidated financial statements, so it need not disclose such information in the financial statements.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. Management recognizes any changes in the accounting estimates during the period and the impact of the changes in the accounting estimates in the next period.

There are no critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

For the assumptions and estimation uncertainties, there were no significant risk resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year.

The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, notes, accounts and overdue receivable have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information, including macroeconomic and relevant industry information.

The loss allowance provision was determined as follows:

  1. Capital surplus

In accordance with the Company Act, realized capital reserves can only be reclassified as share capital or distributed as cash dividends after offsetting losses. The aforementioned capital reserves include share premiums and donation gains. In accordance with the Securities Offering and Issuance Guidelines, the amount of capital reserves to be reclassified under share capital shall not exceed 10 percent of the actual share capital amount.

  1. Retained earnings

The Company's article of incorporation stipulates that Company's after-tax earnings should first be used to offset the prior years' deficits, if any. Of the remaining balance, 10% is to be appropriated as legal reserve until the balance of the legal reserve equals the total authorized capital and then remaining undistributed earnings shall be distributed according to a resolution of the shareholders' meeting.

When a company incurs no loss, it may, pursuant to a resolution to be adopted by a shareholders' meeting, distribute its legal reserve by issuing new shares or by distributing cash, only the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25% of the capital may be distributed.

The aforesaid earning distribution shall be formulated by the board of directors and forward to the shareholder's meeting for approval by a resolution.

Notes to Financial Statements

In accordance with the dividend policy of the Company's article of incorporation, the Company shall take into consideration its operating environment, industry developments, and the future capital needs and long-term financial plan, the Company adopts a stable dividends policy. As the Company is in its growth phase, business expansion and capital needs over next few years, therefore, the Company should distribute the undistributed earnings in the form of shares or in cash. The cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of total dividends. However, distribution of earnings shall be made in view of the year's earnings and financial condition, and adjusted in the shareholders' meeting.

(A) Special reserve

In accordance with Ruling No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012, a portion of the current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should equal the current-period total net reduction of other shareholders' equity. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior-period earnings (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve to account for the cumulative changes to other shareholders' equity pertaining to prior periods.

20) Financial risk management

  1. Overview

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • (A) Credit risk.

  • (B) Liquidity risk.

  • (C) Market risk.

This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks and the objectives, policies, and processes for measuring and managing risk. Please see other related notes for quantitative information.

  1. Risk management framework

The board of directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Company's Supervisor is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the board of directors and the Supervisor.

3. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits, etc.

  • (A) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company's bank deposits are in different financial institutions with good credit. The Company controls its credit risk for each financial institution and believes that the Company's bank deposits will not have any significant credit risk.

  • (B) Receivables and other receivables

The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Company's customer base, including the information of past trading experience with customer and adjust the transaction credit limits.

(Continued)

40

104 CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

The board of directors and management have established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company's review includes external ratings (when available), and in some cases, bank references. Credit limits are established for each customer. Customers that fail to meet the Company's benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Company only on a prepayment basis or basic credit limits.

4. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.

5. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates prices, will cause the Company suffer possible loss for related transaction.

The Company maintains its foreign currency within a level sufficient to meet the operational needs so as to manage exchange rate risk. The Company's financial assets exposed to changes in fair value caused by interest rate fluctuation are bank deposits. Nevertheless, the interest rate is not volatile enough to affect the Company's operations.

21) Capital management

The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base in order to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital includes common stock, capital surplus, retained earnings, and non-controlling interest. The board of directors' controls not only the return on capital ratio, but also the dividend level of the common stock.

The Company's capital management approach did not change for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company's salary and remuneration policy (including directors, supervisors, managers and employees) are as follows:

The remuneration of the Company's directors and supervisors are regulated in accordance with Article 26 of the Articles of incorporation of the Company. If the Company has generated a profit in the year, no more than 3% of the profit shall be provided for the remuneration of the directors and supervisors. Since the remuneration is set at a certain percentage of the current year's earnings, the upper limit is highly correlated with the Company's operating performance. Apart from referring to the Company’s past operating performance, the payments of the directors' and supervisors' remuneration will also be adjusted based on future risk factors. That is, when the outlook is bad or the Company’s operating risks increase, the directors' and supervisor’s remuneration will follow. In addition, the evaluation results of the performance of Board of Directors are also important considerations for distribution. Relevant performance evaluation and compensation rationality are reviewed by the Remuneration Committee that regularly reviews and assesses the directors' remuneration, and submits their proposals to the Board of Directors for discussion.

Remuneration paid to the Manager and Employee can be divided into three categories, i.e. salaries, bonuses and employee bonuses. Salary, which is based on the factors such as job responsibility, the overall environment and the market standard, and is set to reflect work performance; bonuses are correlated with employees’ and department’s performance mainly calculated based on the company's "Employees Compensation and Benefits Management Method" and "Outstanding Employee Stock Ownership Trust Management Measures"; employee bonuses are regulated by Article 26 of the Articles of incorporation that if the Company make a profit in the year, 8% to 15% of the profit should be remunerated as employee bonuses, since the employee bonuses are based on the proportion of the annual surplus, they are highly correlated with the Company's operating performance.

The related remuneration in addition to reference to the relevant industry level and the Company’s past operating performance, the relevant distribution standards, structures and systems will also be reviewed and adjusted at any time depending on the actual operating conditions and changes in relevant laws and regulations, which is expected to prevent managers from engaging in the conducts that may put the Company at risk in order to pursue remuneration. In addition, the Company's Remuneration Committee will also periodically assess the remuneration of the General Manager and Vice President, and submit the proposals to the Board of Directors for discussion in order to balance the Company's sustainable operations and risk control.
