Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the parent company only financial statements of ACES Electronics Co., Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity, and statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the parent company only financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of 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 ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. 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 of our opinion.
Description of key audit matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
- Revenue Recognition
Please refer to Notes 4(13) to the parent only financial statements for the accounting policy on operating revenue; and refer to Notes 6(18) for disclosures relating to revenue.
Description of key audit matter:
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. is mainly engaging in processing, manufacturing and selling of connectors. Sales revenue is one of the key audit matters to the financial statements. Therefore, the assessment for recognition of sales revenue is one of the key evaluation matter when we audit the Company’s financial statements.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
2
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included:
-
We inspected whether the Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with relevant guidelines.
-
We tested the design of internal control process and its efficiency of execution for sales revenue.
-
We focused on the top 10 clients, compared differences in numbers on the same period of the previous year, and checked if there’s any significant abnormality.
-
We selected sales transaction samples from a certain period before and after the end of current year, and examined revenue transaction records with vouchers arising from appropriate time period.
-
We assessed if there is any significant sales return and discount after the balance sheet date.
2. Valuation of inventory
Please refer to Notes 4(7) to the parent only financial statements for the accounting policy on inventory valuation, Notes 5(1) for accounting estimates and assumptions of inventory, and Notes 6(4) for disclosure disclosures relating to inventory.
Description of key audit matter:
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. mainly produces electronic products such as high precision connectors which are affected by the fast change of technology and updates of manufacturing technique; its product sales might have tremendous fluctuation which may cause the cost of inventory to be higher than its net realizable value. Therefore, the assessment for inventory valuation is one of the key evaluation matter when we audit the Company’s financial statements.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
-
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included:
-
We assessed the inventory aging report, and analyzed changes in the inventory aging report from the previous to current year.
-
We tested samples provided by the Company on inventory valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
-
We understand the selling prices adopted by the management of the Company, and use it to assess the reasonableness of inventory net realizable value.
-
We assessed if the inventory valuation is recorded according to the accounting policies of the Company.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.’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 ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
3
Those charged with governance (inclusive of the Audit Committee) from ACES Electronics Co., Ltd are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent only 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
1.Identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the parent only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
2.Obtained 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 ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.’s internal control.
-
3.Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
4.Concluded 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 ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
5.Evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
6.Obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.'s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicated 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 identified during our audit.
We also provided those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
4
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 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 Lin, Heng-Shen and Chen, Zheng-Xue.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial statements are set out as below. Unless otherwise stated, the significant accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these parent company only financial statements.
- (1) Statement of compliance
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “the Regulations”).
-
(2) Basis of preparation
-
a. Basis of measurement
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the balance sheets:
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
-
(ii) Defined benefit liability is recognized as the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
-
b. Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Company is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The parent company only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar (“NTD”), which is also the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in NTD has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
-
(3) Foreign currency
-
a. Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period (hereinafter refer to as ‘end of reporting period’), monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the 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.
- b. Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including good will and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expense 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 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 Company disposes only part of it’s 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
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.
11
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, the 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.
-
(4) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
-
An asset is classified as current when:
-
a. The asset expected to realize, or intends to sell or consume, in its normal operating cycle;
-
b. The asset primarily held for the purpose of trading;
-
c. The asset expected to realize within twelve months after the reporting date; or
-
d. The asset is cash and 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.
-
All other assets are classified as non-current.
-
A liability is classified as current when:
-
a. The liability is expected to be settled within the Company’s normal operating cycle;
-
b. The liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading.
-
c. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or
-
d. The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. 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) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and demand deposits. Cash equivalents comprise short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value. Time deposits with short-term maturity but not for investments and other purposes and are qualified with the aforementioned criteria are classified as cash equivalent.
- (6) Financial instruments
Account receivables 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 instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade 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 issuance. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
a. Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade basis.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost, fair
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.
12
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment, FVCI – equity investment, or FVTL. 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 changes in the business model.
-
(i) 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 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 de-recognition is recognized in profit or loss.
-
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss All financial assets not classified as at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as described above are measured at fair value through profit or loss. This includes all derivative financial assets. The Company has the intention to sell account receivable at fair price through profit and loss immediately or recently; these amounts are recorded under account receivables currently. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as at fair value through profit and loss 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 and loss.
-
(iii) Business model assessment
-
The Company makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at portfolio level, because this best reflects the way the business is managed, and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:
-
‧ the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies
-
in practice. These include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;
-
‧ how the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that
-
business model are evaluated and reported to the entity’s key management personnel;
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.
13
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
‧ the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and, in particular, the way in which those risks are managed;
‧ how managers of the business are compensated, for example, whether the compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows collected; and
‧ the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sale activity.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, and are consistent with the Company’s continuing recognition of the assets.
(iv) Assessment on whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition.
(v) 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 trade receivables, other receivables and refundable deposit) and contract assets.
The Company 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 trade 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 Company 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 Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECL is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.
14
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 60 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 180 days past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.
The Company considers a time deposit to have low credit risk when only deal with financial institutions with good credit rating.
Lifetime ECL are the ECL that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECL are the portion of ECL 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).
ECL are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECL is according to financial assets’ effective discount rate.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI 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 180 days 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 a security because of financial difficulties.
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. For corporate customers, 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.
(vi) 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
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.
15
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
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 the 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.
-
b. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
-
(i) Classification of debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
- (ii) Equity instrument
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.
-
(iii) Compound financial instruments
-
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible bonds denominated in NTD that can be converted to common stocks at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value.
The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognized at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognized at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss. On conversion at maturity, the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognized.
- (iv) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.
-
(v) 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
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.
16
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
-
(vi) 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.
-
c. Derivative financial instruments
-
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value and the transaction cost was recognized in profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss, and recorded under non-operating revenue or expenses in comprehensive income statements.
-
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
-
(7) Inventories
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
- (8) Investments in subsidiaries
When preparing the parent company only 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 consolidated 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.
-
(9) 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 expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. c. Depreciation
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.
17
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
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:
~ (i) Property and plant: 3 35 years
(ii) Machinery and equipment: 5 years
(iii) Mold equipment: 2 years
~ (iv) Other equipment: 3 5 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(10) 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. a. 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.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
(i) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
(ii) 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:
(i) 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, or
(ii) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or
(iii) there is any lease modification.
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.
18
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
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 has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, including houses, buildings, and part of transportation equipment. The Company 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 Company 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 Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of 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 Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

(11) Intangible assets
-
a. Recognition and measurement
The goodwill acquired by the Company are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. For computer software and other intangible assets acquired by the Company 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.
- 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. ~ (i) Software: 1 2 years
-
~ -
(ii) Other intangible assets 1 3 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
- (12) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories 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 cash-generating units (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.
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.

ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
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. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
-
(13) Revenue Recognition
-
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 Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, 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 Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
The Company often offers volume discounts to its customers. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of estimated volume discount. Accumulated experience is used to estimate the discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales of goods are made, with a credit term of 90~150 days, which is consistent with the market practice.
A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional. 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 consolidated company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
- (14) Government grants
The Company has obtained low interest rate loans from banks facilitated by the government, through the “Welcome Businesses Returning to Taiwan to Invest Solutions” launched by the Executive Yuan. The difference between such loan calculated by market borrowing interest rate valued at fair price and the amount received is recorded as deferred income. 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 deferred income is recognized as deduction of expenses.
-
(15) Employee benefits
-
a. Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
- b. Defined benefit plans
The Company’s net obligation in respect of 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 plan assets.
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
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 Company, 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 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.
- 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 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.
- (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 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 current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainly related to income tax, 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 are recognized except for the following:
-
a. 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;
-
b. 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 deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, 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 Company 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:
-
(i) the same taxable entity; or
-
(ii) 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 are recognized for 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.
- (17) Earnings per share
The Company 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 common stocks outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive common stocks, such as convertible bonds and estimated employee compensation.
- (18) Operating segments
Company has provided the operating segments disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. Thus, disclosure of the segment information in the parent company only financial statements is waived.
5. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimations and Assumptions Uncertainty
- The preparation of the parent company only financial statements in conformity with the Regulations 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.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed by management on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
There is no information involving critical judgments in applying the accounting policies in the consolidated financial statements.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is as follows:
- (1) Valuation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumption as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the obsolescence of aircraft models, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Please refer to note 6(4) for further description on the valuation of inventories.
- (2) Valuation process
The Company’s accounting policies include measuring financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The Company’s financial instrument valuation group conducts independent verification on all significant fair values (including level 3 fair
See accompanying notes to parent company only financial statements.

ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
value), and reports directly to the chief financial officer. The Company also periodically reviews significant unobservable inputs and adjustments. If third-party information (i.e. through securities brokers or price setting service institutes) for evaluating fair value inputs were used, evidence for supporting inputs from third-party will be assessed in order to make sure the valuation and its fair value categorization is compliant with regulations from IFRSs. The Company strives to use market observable inputs when measuring assets and liabilities. Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:
a. Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
b. Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
c. Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.
For any transfer within the fair value hierarchy, the impact of the transfer is recognized on the reporting date.
For assumptions used in measuring fair value, please refer to Note 6(2) financial instrument.

According to the IFRSs Q&A updated by Securities and Futures Bureau, FSC on January 5, 2024, the Company reclassified the deposits balance in repatriated offshore funds accounts amounting to $40,124 thousand and $61,468 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively, from other current assets to cash and cash equivalent. In addition, the Company decreased the amount in “decrease in other current assets” under investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 by $21,344 thousand. As time deposits with original maturity date within 1 year, are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes, readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, those are recognized as cash and cash equivalents.

b. 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 other receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information. The loss allowance provision for notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivables for the years ended December 31 2023 and 2022 was analyzed as follows:

c. The Company has signed accounts receivable factoring contracts without recourse with financial institutions. As stated in the contract, the Company does not have to bear the risks of uncollectable accounts receivables but the loss incurred due to commercial arguments. Due to the fact that the Company has already transferred almost all the risk and revenues of the above mentioned account receivables without further participation, hence meets the criteria of derecognition of financial assets. After derecognition of accounts receivable, the claim to financial institutes were recorded under other receivables. Factored accounts receivables which were not due as of the report date were as follows:

(ii) Sensitivity analysis
The foreign currency risk mainly arose from the translation of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, and other payables. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, if the exchange rate had changed, given no changes in other factors, when NTD is depreciated or appreciated against USD by 5%, profit after tax would have increased or decreased by $17,668 thousand and $17,665 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The method of analysis remains the same for both periods.
- (iii) Foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary items
The Company's information on foreign exchange gain (loss) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, foreign exchange gains (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $11,283 thousands and $63,196 thousands, respectively.
- iv. Interest rate analysis
The Company’ s exposure to interest rate risk arising from financial assets and liabilities is described in the liquidity risk part of this note.
The following sensitivity analysis is determined through the exposure to interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative instruments on the reporting date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the balances of outstanding liabilities on the reporting date have been outstanding for the whole period, and their rational change intervals are being estimated. If the interest rate increases/decreases by 1%, representing the reasonable interest rates changes made by management.
If the interest rate increased or decreased by 1%, given no changes in other factors, the profit before tax will decrease or increase by $29,915 thousand and $23,745thousand for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively. This is mainly because of the Company's floating rate loans.
v. Fair value
- (i) Fair value hierarchy
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured on a recurring basis. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’ s financial assets and liabilities, including the information on fair value hierarchy are stated below:

- (ii) Valuation techniques of financial instruments not measured at fair value A. Non-derivative financial instruments
Financial instruments traded in active market are based on quoted market prices. The quoted price of a financial instrument obtained from main exchanges and on-the-run bonds from Taipei Exchange can be used as a basis to determine the fair value of the listed companies equity instrument and debt instrument of the quoted price in an active market.
If a quoted price of a financial instrument can be obtained readily and regularly from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industrial union, pricing institute, or authorities, and such price can reflect those actual trading and regularly occurring in the market. Then the financial instrument is considered to have a quoted price in an active market. If a financial instrument is not in accord with the definition mentioned above, then it is considered to be without a quoted price in an active market. In general, market with low trading volume or high bid-ask spreads is an indication of a nonactive market.
If the financial instrument held by the Company is of an active market, the fair value of it is determined in accordance with market price. If its of a nonactive market, the fair value is measured by net assets.
- B. Derivative financial instruments
Measurement of the fair value of derivative instruments is based on the valuation techniques generally accepted by market participants such as the discounted cash flow or option pricing models (Black-Scholes Model).

The Company can longer obtain market price from periodical financial tools. According to Article 13 ‘Fair value measurement’ of IFRS on assessment of relevant information credibility and limitations, it is therefore moved from Level 1 to Level 3. The above loss was recorded under ‘other gain and loss’.
- (iv) Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement
The Company's financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value include financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss. Most of the Company's fair value were classified as Level 3 with only one significant unobservable input. Only liabilities instruments of nonactive market has more than one significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs of financial instrument investments without an active market are individually independent, and there is no correlation between them.

Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follow:
| Item Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss - non-current Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss - current |
Valuation technique Net asset valuation method Net asset valuation method |
Significant unobservable inputs Net asset valuation Illiquidity and market discount and credit risk adjustment (including risk of breach of contract) were 100%. |
Interrelationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not applicable • The higher the market illiquidity discount is, the lower the fair value. • The higher the credit risk is, the lower the fair value. |
