Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of ACES Electronics Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. And its subsidiaries (the ACES Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and notes to the parent company consolidated financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the ACES Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of ACES 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 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 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
1. Revenue Recognition
Please refer to Notes 4(16) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on operating revenue; and refer to Notes 6(20) for disclosures relating to revenue.
Description of key audit matter:
ACES Groups engage mainly in processing, manufacturing and sales of connectors, connector sets and other electronic components. Revenue recognized close to the balance sheet date carries a risk of not being recorded in the correct period. Therefore, the assessment for recognition of sales revenue is one of the key evaluation matter when we audit the Groups' financial statements.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included:
- We understood the major revenue types, contract terms and transaction conditions, and assessed whether the timing of revenue recognition is appropriate.
- We examined contracts with major customers, and evaluated the internal controls over shipping operations and revenue recognition processes.
- We selected shipments from a certain period before and after the balance sheet date, and verified
3
relevant supporting documents to determine whether sales revenue has been recognized in the appropriate period of the financial statements.
Other matter
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. has additionally prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, on which we have issued an unmodified audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, 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 ACES 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 ACES Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (inclusive of the Audit Committee) from ACES Group is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 consolidated 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:
- Identified and assessed 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.
- 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 Group and its subsidiaries' internal control.
- Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
4
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 Group's 'ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the ACES Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
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 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 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 safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are Chi, Meng-Chun and Yang, Shu-Chih.

| • Management performance measures (MPMs): the new standard introduces a definition for management performance measures, and requires companies to explain in a single note to the financial statements why the measure provides useful information, how it is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined under IFRS accounting standards. | ||
| • Greater disaggregation of information: the new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes. |

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out as below. Unless otherwise stated, the significant accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
(1) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements is in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China (hereinafter refer to as IFRSs approved by FSC).
(2) Basis of preparation
a. Basis of measurement
The consolidated 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) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income;
(iii) Investment property at fair value; and
(iv) 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 each entity of the Group is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated 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) Basis of consolidation
a. Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, 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.
Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. The consolidated profit and loss amount belongs to the Company's equity owner and the controlling right. The same applies to balance of loss from non-controlling equity rights.
Changes in the consolidated ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for within equity. Any difference between such adjustment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to shareholders of the Company.

ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 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 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 settlement of a monetary receivable from, or payable to, a foreign operation is 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.
(5) 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.

a. The liability is expected to be settled within the consolidated 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

ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(7) Financial instruments
Account receivables initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the consolidated 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.
Upon initial recognition, financial assets are classified as: debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The Group reclassifies all affected financial assets only when it changes the business model for managing financial assets, and such reclassification is made from the first day of the next reporting period.
(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 measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
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.
Investments in equity instruments 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 from equity investments is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group's right to receive payment is established (which is usually the ex-dividend date).
(iii) 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 are measured at fair value through profit or loss. This includes all derivative financial assets. Financial assets that the Group intends to sell immediately or in the near term are measured at fair value through profit or loss, but are included under accounts receivable.
Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit and loss.

(iv) Business model assessment
The Group 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;
- 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 Group’s continuing recognition of the assets.
(v) 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 Group 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.
(vi) 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, notes and trade receivables, other receivables and refundable deposit) 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 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 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
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 Group is exposed to credit risk.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 60 days past due.
The Group 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 Group in full.
The Group 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 Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECL is according to financial assets' effective discount rate.
At each reporting date, the Group 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 Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, 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.
(vii) 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
20
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 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 Group 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) Treasury shares
When equity instruments already recognized by the Group are repurchased, the consideration paid (including directly attributable costs) is recognized as a deduction from equity. The repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are subsequently sold or reissued, the amounts received are recognized as an increase in equity, and any surplus or deficit arising from the transaction is recognized as capital surplus or retained earnings (if capital surplus is insufficient to offset).
(iv) 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.
(v) 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.
(vi) 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
21
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(vii) 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.
(8) Inventories
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.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
(9) Investing in the affiliated Companies
Affiliates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control.
The Company has adopted equity method to account for interests in the affiliated companies. Under the equity method, investment is initially recognized at cost. Investment cost includes transaction cost. The carrying amount of investment in the affiliates includes goodwill recognized at initial investment, net of any accumulated impairment losses.
After adjusting the accounting policies of the affiliated parent company to be in line with that of the Company, the consolidated reports included the income and loss as well as other comprehensive income of the affiliate companies the Company recognized in proportion to its shares owned in the affiliated companies from the date the Company has significant influence over the affiliated parent company until the date it ceases to have such significant influence.
When the affiliates have changes in equities not in relations to income or loss or other comprehensive income and not affecting the shares held by the Company, the changes of equity of the Company's shares in the affiliated companies should be recognized in proportion to its shares in the equity as capital reserve.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and affiliates are eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest in the affiliates. The elimination of unrealized loss is the same as the written-off unrealized gain but is limited to the circumstances when the impairment evidence is not available.
When the Company's share of losses in the affiliates equals or exceeds its interests in the affiliates, including any other unsecured receivables, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliates, then additional loss or relevant liability would be recognized.
When the Company subscribes to additional shares in the affiliated companies or jointly controlled entity at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company's proportionate interest in the net assets of the affiliated companies or jointly controlled entity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. However if the balance of capital surplus is insufficient from investment accounted using equity method, the difference should debit to retained earnings. If the Company's ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to
22
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
the shares of affiliated companies or joint controlled entity by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that affiliated companies or jointly controlled entity shall be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate or jointly controlled entity had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
(10) 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
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 plants: 3 ~ 50 years
(ii) Machinery and equipment: 2 ~ 10 years
(iii) Mold equipment: 2 ~ 5 years
(iv) Other equipment: 2 ~ 10 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
When a property held for own use is transferred to investment property, the property is reclassified as investment property at its fair value at the date of transfer. Any gain arising on remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss to the extent of any previously recognized cumulative impairment loss, with any remaining difference recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in "other equity - revaluation surplus on properties". Any loss is recognized in profit or loss, except that if the decrease is within the amount of the revaluation surplus, the decrease is recognized in other comprehensive income and deducted against the revaluation surplus in equity.
(11) Investment property
Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured using the cost model.
Any gain or loss (calculated by the difference between net disposal price and its carrying amount) on disposal of an investment property is recognized in profit or loss. If the sale of investment property was recorded under property, plant and equipment then the relevant 'other
23
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
equities - property revaluation increments' shall be transferred to capital surplus.
Lease income from investment property is recognized as non-operating revenue on a straight-line basis during leased period.
(12) 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) variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
(iii) amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
(iv) payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. Interests of lease liabilities are provided using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
(i) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate;
(ii) there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
(iii) 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;
(iv) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option;
(v) there is any lease modification regarding underlying assets, scope, or other terms.
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.
24
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
b. As a lessor
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at least 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.
The Company recognizes lease income received during from operating lease as lease revenue based on straight-line basis.
(13) Intangible assets
a. Recognition and measurement
The goodwill acquired by the Company are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Expenditure related to research expenses is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Development expenses are capitalized only when the technical or commercial feasibility of the product or process is achieved, there is a high probability of future economic benefits flowing to the consolidated entity, and the consolidated entity has the intention and sufficient resources to complete the development and use or sell the asset. All other development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. After initial recognition, capitalized development expenditures are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
For 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, including goodwill from internal development and brand name.
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 useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
(i) Software: 1~5 years
(ii) Customer relationship: 3 years
(iii) Other intangible assets 1~3 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values for intangible assets are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(14) 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
25
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. 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.
The impairment loss recognized on goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. 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.
(15) Provisions
A provision shall be recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are discounted by the pre-tax discount rate, which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The discounted amortization is recognized as interest expense.
(16) 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 following is a description of the Company's major revenues:
Revenue is recognized when the control over a product has been transferred to the customer. 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.
(17) 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.
26
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(18) Employee benefits
a. Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized 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.
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 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.
(19) Share-based payments
For equity-settled share-based payment agreements, during the vesting period, the Group recognizes expenses and the corresponding increase in equity at the fair value at the grant date. The expenses recognized are adjusted by the number of the awards expected to meet the service condition and non-market vesting conditions. The amount ultimately recognized is measured on the basis of the number of the awards that meet the service condition and non-market vesting conditions at the vesting date.
Non-vesting conditions of share-based payment awards have been measured in the fair value of at the grant date of the share-based payments. Differences between the expectations and actual results shall not be verified and adjusted.
Grant date of the share-based payments is the date that the board of directors approves the subscription price and authorizes employees to subscribe for shares.
(20) 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 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.
27
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
The unapplied tax losses and unapplied tax credits carried forward and deductible temporary differences are recognized as deferred income tax assets within the range of probable future taxable income available for use. 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.
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.
(21) Earning 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 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, such as convertible bonds and estimated employee compensation.
(22) Operating segments
Operating segment is a component of the Company engaging in activities that may earn revenues and incur expenses, including relevant revenues and expenses from other components of the Company. Operating results of all segments are routinely provided to the chief operating decision-maker for review for set up policy to allocate resources and assess performance of the operating segments. Each operating segment shall have its separate financial information.

5. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimations and Assumptions Uncertainty
The preparation of the consolidated financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions to future (including climate-related risks and opportunities) 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 to be consistent with the Group's risk management and climate-related commitments. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the following period on a prospective basis.
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:
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 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. Investment property was appraised by external appraiser.
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 assets and liabilities, Note 6(9) investment property at fair value, and Note 6(23) financial assets.

a. In July 2025, the Group leased out part of its owner-occupied properties and transferred them to investment properties. The difference of NTD 263,017 thousand between the carrying amount and fair value at the date of change in use was recognized as a revaluation adjustment, presented under "Other comprehensive income - revaluation surplus on properties."
b Investment property fair value basis
The investment properties held by the consolidated company are located in the Nangang, Neihu and Chung-Li districts of Taipei City. Their fair values are determined based on the results of an independent appraisal by valuation experts, using the discounted cash flow analysis method under the income approach. The main assumptions and relevant explanations are as follows:
(i) The expected future cash inflows from investment properties of the consolidated company include rental income, interest income from deposits, vacancy losses, and disposal value at the end of the period. The rental income is estimated based on local and comparable market rental rates, taking into consideration the estimated annual rental growth rate for the next ten years. The interest income from deposits is estimated based on the average deposit interest rate published by the central bank for the top five banks, ranging from 1.700% for a one-year term. The vacancy losses are calculated based on the vacancy situation of similar properties in the neighboring area. The disposal value at the end of the period is determined by capitalizing the projected operating income for the next year, after deducting normal operating expenses, using a direct capitalization approach.
The future cash outflows include related taxes, insurance premiums, management fees, and repair costs that are directly related to the leases. The changing rates used to estimate future variations in these expenses are based on the current expenditure levels, taking into consideration adjustments to announced land prices and tax rates stipulated by housing tax regulations.
(ii) The estimation of the discount rate is based on the regulations of the Financial Supervisory Commission, which stipulate that it shall not be lower than the interest rate for a two-year postal time deposit announced by Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd., plus three digits. However, considering the recent real estate market conditions, it is estimated to be 2.470% to 2.845%.
(iii) The decision on capitalizing end-of-period earnings is based on the reasonable capitalization rate of the subject and the future benefits of building improvements,
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
estimated at 1.490%–3.970%
(iv) The monthly rent for investment properties in the local area and similar targets ranges from NT$890 to NT$1,430 per ping.
(v) The fair value of the Nangang, Neihu and Chung-Li properties, as assessed by discounted cash flow analysis, is NT$55,298 thousand, NT$264,863 thousand, and NT$347,196 thousand respectively.
(vi) The real estate appraisal reports used by the consolidated company are signed and issued by Mr. Tsai Jia-ho, a certified appraiser from Cushman & Wakefield, with appraisal dates of July 15, 2025, July 11, 2025, and September 10, 2025, respectively.

ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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, 2025 and 2024, foreign exchange gains (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to (21,863) thousands and $108,491 thousands, respectively.
d Interest rate analysis

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 $29,755 thousand and $24,666 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively. This is mainly because of the Company's floating rate loans.

(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).
(iii) 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.
ACES Electronics Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follow:
| Item | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable inputs | Interrelationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss - non-current | Net asset valuation method | Net asset valuation | Not applicable |
| Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss - current | Net asset valuation method | Illiquidity and market discount and credit risk adjustment | • The higher the market illiquidity discount is, the lower the fair value. |
| • The higher the credit risk is, the lower the fair value. |
