Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 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 audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statement 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 matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judge that shall be communicated in the audit report are as follows:
1. Inventory valuation
Please refer to Note 4(8) “Inventories”; Note 5(1) “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and Note 6(5) “Inventories”.
Description of key audit matter:
The major business of the Group is the manufacturing and sales of antibody, protein, test reagents and testing instruments. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the longer life cycle of the products, the management considers factors such as product circulation, exposure, preservation and industry information to evaluate the net realizable value of inventories. As Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and its subsidiaries have large amount of inventories and a large number of items, and the net realizable value used in the above-mentioned evaluation involves subjective judgment, the evaluation of loss allowance for inventory valuation has been listed as the key audit matter of the year.
~ 4 ~
Our principal audit procedures included:
The key audit procedures for the above-mentioned key audit matter based on the understanding of the industrial characteristics of Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and its subsidiaries include obtaining statistical information on the sales time and sales status of the products on the shelves in each year provided by the management in the subsequent years to evaluate the consistency of the policy used to recognize the inventory valuation loss; understanding the Group and its subsidiaries’ inventory management process, reviewing the annual inventory plan and participating in the annual inventory check to evaluate the effectiveness of the management’s inventory control; obtaining the inventory net realizable value calculation sheet, and spot check the correctness of the calculation.
Other matter
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the 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 with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the 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 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, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A. 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.
-
B. 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
~ 4-1 ~
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group’s to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial reports, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
F. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on 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.
-
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(3) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Group, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| Standards or Interpretations Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” |
Content of amendment The current IAS 1 provided that with respect to classification as current, an entity’s right to defer settlement for at least 12 months is subject to the entity complying with conditions after the reporting period. The amendment deleted the requirement that the right shall be unconditional and instead requires that the right must exist and be substantive at the end of the reporting period. The amendments clarify how an entity classifies debt and other financial liabilities as current or non-current with its own equity instruments for the settlement of a liability (such as convertible corporate bonds). |

- B. Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each entity of the Group is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(3) Basis of consolidation
- A. Principles of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Except for Abnova GmbH, the German subsidiary which is not included in an entity of the Group’s consolidated financial report, the rest of the subsidiaries have been included. The Group ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from Intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group attributes the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
The Group prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attribute it to the owners of the parent.

Note : Since Abnova GmbH’s capital equivalent to NT$1,210 (0.2% of the Group’s capital), its total assets were less than 1% of the Group’s total assets, and it had no operating income, the consolidated financial report with this subsidiary had not been prepared. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the dissolution and liquidation proposal of Abnova GmbH on November 11, 2016, and the dissolution and liquidation was on December 31, 2016, as the base date.
(4) Foreign currency
A. 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 the 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 that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:
(a) an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;
(b) a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the
~ 12 ~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
extent that the hedge is effective; or
-
(c) qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
-
B. Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the New Taiwan Dollars 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 Group disposes only a 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 Group disposes only a part of its 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 receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, Exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.
-
(5) 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:
-
A. It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;
-
B. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
C. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
D. 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.
-
A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current:
-
A. It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
-
B. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
C. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
D. The Group does not have any unconditional right to defer the 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 issuing equity instruments that do not affect its classification.
-
(6) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and 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.
- (7) Financial instruments
Accounts receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is an accounts receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. An accounts receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
~ 13 ~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
A. 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 other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group 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.
-
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) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established (usually the ex-dividend date).
- (c) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized costs, notes and accounts receivables, other receivable, financial lease payments receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets) and contract assets.
-
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:
-
‧ Debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
-
‧ Other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowance for accounts receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers 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 Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.
ECLs are probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the
~ 14 ~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
-
‧ Significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
-
‧ A breach of contract such as a default or being more than some time past due;
-
‧ The lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;
-
‧ It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or
-
‧ The disappearance of an active market for that financial assets because of financial difficulties.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt investment at FVOCI, loss allowances are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate accounts, the Group 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 Group 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 Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
- (d) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group 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 Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Group 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.
-
(8) Inventories
-
A. The perpetual inventory system is adopted, and the acquisition costs are recorded in the account. The costs are determined by the weighted average method, and the fixed production overheads are allocated according to the normal operating capacity of the production equipment. Inventories at the end of period except for obsolete and slow-moving inventories are provided for loss allowance. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When comparing the lower of cost and net realizable value, the item-by-item comparison method is adopted. The market price of raw materials is the replacement cost (that is, the latest purchase price); the market price of work in progress, semi-finished goods, finished goods and commodity inventories is the net realizable value.
-
B. The basis for the loss allowance for each obsolete and slow-moving inventory is explained as follows:
-
(a) 100% loss allowance provisions for protein inventory over two years (entering the third year); 2% to 50% loss allowance provisions for the stock age within two years (exclusive).
-
(b) 1% to 3% loss allowance provisions for testing instruments within two years (exclusive) according to the stock age; 10% to 70% loss allowance provisions for the stock age over two
~ 15 ~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
years (entering the third year) to five years (exclusive); 100% loss allowance provisions for the stock age reaches five years (entering the sixth year).
-
(c) 0.1% to 20% loss allowance provisions for the stock age of inventories other than protein and testing instruments within four years (exclusive); 40% to 80% loss allowance provisions for the stock age reaches five years (entering the sixth year) to six years (exclusive); 100% loss allowance provisions for the stock age reaches six years (entering the seventh year).
-
(9) Non-current assets held for sale
-
In the first quarter of 2022, the Group passed the resolution to sell the equity of the subsidiary made by the Board of Directors, therefore, the accounting policy related to non-current assets held for sale began to apply from March 31, 2022.
When the carrying amount of the disposal group comprising of non-current assets or assets and liabilities is highly probable to be recovered mainly through a sale transaction rather than continuing use, it is classified as held for sale. Assets or components of disposal groups are remeasured according to the accounting policy of the Group before classifying to be held for sale. The disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses of any disposal group are first apportioned to goodwill and then apportioned to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis. However, the loss will not be allocated to assets that are not within the scope of asset impairment under IAS 36, and the aforementioned items will continue to be measured in accordance with the accounting policy of the Group. Impairment losses recognized for the classification as held for sale and gains and losses arising from the subsequent remeasurements are recognized in profit or loss, provided that gains on reversal cannot exceed the cumulative impairment loss recognized.
When intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are classified as held for sale, they are no longer depreciated or amortized. In addition, when an associate recognized using the equity method is classified as held for sale, the equity method will cease to be adopted.
-
(10) Invest in associates
-
Associates are that in which the Group has significant influence over their financial and operating policies but is not controlling or jointly controlling.
The Group adopts the equity method to handle the interests of the associates. Under the equity method, the original acquisition is recognized at cost, and investment costs include transaction costs. The carrying amount of investments in an associate includes the goodwill identified at the time of the original investment, less any accumulated impairment loss.
The consolidated financial report includes from the date of significant influence to the date of loss of significant influence; after the adjustments made consistent with the accounting policy of the Group, the Group recognizes the profit and loss and the amount of other comprehensive income of each investment in associates based on the equity ratio. When the equity changes in non- profit or loss and other comprehensive income of an associate does not affect the shareholding ratio of the Group, the Group will recognize all changes in equity as capital reserves according to the shareholding ratio.
Unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions between the Group and associates are recognized in the corporate financial statements only within the scope of non-related party investors’ interests in associates.
When the Group shall recognize the loss share of an associate proportionally equal to or exceeds its equity in the associate, it shall stop recognizing the losses, and only within the scope of a legal obligation, a constructive obligation, or a payment made on behalf of the invested company, additional losses and related liabilities shall be recognized.
When an associate issues new shares, if the Group does not subscribe in accordance with the shareholding ratio, resulting in a change in the shareholding ratio, and thus an increase or decrease in the net equity value of the investment occurred, the increase or decrease shall be
~ 16 ~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
adjusted to the capital reserve and the investment using the equity method. If this adjustment is to write-down the capital reserve, and the balance of the capital reserve generated by the investment using the equity method is insufficient, the difference will be debited to retained earnings. However, if the Group does not subscribe according to the shareholding ratio, resulting in a decrease in its ownership interest in the associate, the amount related to the associate previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified according to the reduction ratio, and its accounting treatment is the basis same as that which an associate would have to follow if it directly disposes of the related assets or liabilities.
-
(11) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any 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.
- B. Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
- C. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:
(a) Buildings and structures 10 to 50 years (b) Machinery and equipment 2 to 10 years (c) Office equipment 3 to 8 years (d) Leasehold improvements 3 to 15 years (e) Other equipment 3 to 5 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
- (12) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Group 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.
A. As a lessee
The Group 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.
~ 17 ~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
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 Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
(a) 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 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;
-
(b) there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
-
(c) there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset;
-
(d) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option;
(e) there is any lease modification.
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 Group 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 Group presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that do not meet the definition of investment property as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position. The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for office equipment with short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- B. As a lessor
When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS 15 to
~ 18 ~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
allocate the consideration in the contract.
-
(13) Intangible assets
-
A. Recognition and measurement
-
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
- B. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred, including internally developed goodwill and brands.
- C. Amortization
Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
-
The estimated useful lives of intangible assets for current and comparative periods are as follows:
-
(a) Royalty
-
(b) Intangible assets internally generated
-
5 to 30 years
-
3 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
- (14) Impairment of non-derivative financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets and deferred tax assets) 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.
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.
-
(15) Revenue recognition
-
A. Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good to a customer. The description of main income items is as follows:
- (a) Sales of goods
The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the
~ 19 ~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
products are delivered to the customer upon the transaction terms, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
The Group offers volume discounts to customers. The Group recognizes revenue on the basis of the net amount of the contract price minus the estimated volume discount. The amount of the volume discount is estimated based on the expected value based on past cumulative experience, and revenue is recognized only in the range where there is a high probability that no significant reversal will occur.
-
(16) Employee benefits
-
A. Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contribution is recognized as an asset to the extent that they will result in a return of cash or a reduction in future payments.
- B. Defined benefit plans
The Company’s net obligation in respect of each defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to 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 Group 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 Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
- C. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group 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.
- (17) 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 are recognized in profit or loss.
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
~ 20 ~
Abnova (Taiwan) Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
current tax payables or receivables, which reflects the related uncertainties of income taxes (if any), are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are 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 profits 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.
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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:
-
A. the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
-
B. the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
(a) The same taxable entity; or
-
(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.
-
(18) Earnings per share
The Group discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as 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 potentially dilutive ordinary shares.
- (19) Segment information
The Group’s operating segments information is reported in a consistent manner with internal management reports provided to key operating decision makers. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

5. Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the consolidated financial report 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. The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the following period.
Accounting policies involve critical judgments and have no significant impact on the amount recognized in this consolidated financial report.
Information about uncertainties of the following assumptions and estimates which have significant risks of causing critical adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the next fiscal year and reflected the impact of COVID-19, is as follows:
- (1) Valuation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventories for normal loss and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. In addition, the Group has also considered the industry characteristics and the liquidity of inventories to assess the loss allowance for slow-moving inventories. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the changes in industrial application technology, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories.

- (b) Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the conversion of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and accounts and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A strengthening (weakening) of 1% of the NTD against the USD, EUR and JPY as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased (decreased) the net profit after tax by $2,957,000 and $2,187,000, respectively. The analysis for the two periods were on the same basis.
Since the Group transacts in different functional currencies, the information on foreign exchange gains (losses) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the foreign exchange gains (losses) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $26,079,000 and $(8,394,000), respectively.

D. Interest rate analysis
-
Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities.
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding assets with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of assets outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 1% when reporting to the management internally, which also represents the Group management’s assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.
If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 1% basis points, the Group’s net income would have increased or decreased by $1,639,000 and $1,494,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, assuming all other variable factors remain constant. This is mainly due to the Group’s deposits and investments in floating variable rates.

- (d) Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement
The Group’s financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value include “financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income – equity investments”
Most of the fair value of the Group is classified as Level 3 with only single significant unobservable inputs, and only investments in equity instruments without an active market have multiple significant unobservable inputs. Significant unobservable inputs of investments in equity instruments without an active market are independent of each other, therefore there is no interrelationship.
Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:
| Item Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income-equity investments without an active market |
Valuation technique Comparable to Company Law of listed or OTC-listed companies |
Significant unobservable inputs ‧Multiplier of net equity method and sales value of stock price (December 31, 2021 and July 17) ‧The market illiquidity discount rate (30% on December 31, 2021) |
Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| ‧The higher multiplier, the higher fair value ‧The higher market illiquidity discount, the lower fair value ‧Including adjustments for uncertainties |
-
(e) Fair value measurements in Level 3 – sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions
-
The fair value measurement of financial instruments by the Group is reasonable, but the use of different evaluation models or evaluation parameters may result in different evaluation results. For fair value measurements in Level 3, if the evaluation parameters change, would have the following effects of profit or loss or other comprehensive income:
| December 31, 2021 Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (as Non- current assets held for sale (or disposal group)) equity investments without an active market equity investments without an active market |
Input | Assumptions | Other comprehensive income | Other comprehensive income |

| Liquidity discount rate Multiplier of net equity method and sales value of stock price |
3% 3% |
(364) (264) |
||
| $ 628 |
(628) |
The favorable and unfavorable effects represent the changes in fair value, and fair value is based on a variety of unobservable inputs calculated using a valuation technique. The analysis above only reflects the effects of changes in a single input, and it does not include the interrelationships with another input.
