Independent Auditors' Report
(2026) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 25004453
To: Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc.
Audit opinion
Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc.'s parent company balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the parent company statements of comprehensive income, parent company statements of changes in equity, parent company statements of cash flows, and notes to the parent company financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, have been audited and completed by our firm of certified public accountants.
In our opinion, the accompanying Parent Company Only Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for audit opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc. in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that sufficient and appropriate audit evidence has been obtained in order to be served as a basis for presenting our audit opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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.
Key audit matters in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 are as follows:
~3~
Inventory valuation
Description of matters
For descriptions of the accounting policies, accounting estimates, and the uncertainties of accounting estimates for inventory valuation and assumptions, and accounting items, please see Notes IV (XII), V (II) and VI (VI) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
The principal business of the Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc. is the manufacture and sale of light-emitting diodes. Due to a large number of competitors from China manufacturers, the commodity prices may be vulnerable to fluctuations or the product sale may not be as expected, which may affect the estimation result of the net realizable value of inventory valuation.
The Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc. adjusts its inventory requirements in response to the sales market and development strategies. Since LEDs are the main sales commodity, the related inventory amount is significant. The management evaluates the inventory according to the lower cost and net realizable value. Because the above process involves subjective judgments, we believe that the accounting estimate has a significant impact on the assessment of inventory value, so it is listed as one of the most important matters during the audit.
Corresponding audit procedures
This matter covers Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries (investment accounted for under the equity method). The main audit procedures that we have implemented are as follows:
- We have evaluated the policy adopted for the allowance for inventory write-down based on our understanding of the nature of the Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc.'s operations and industry.
- We have tested the basis for the net realizable value to see whether it complies with the policy of the Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc.. Calculation is performed by taking the sales and net realizable value of the individual inventory number from random sampling.
- Obtain obsolete inventory details identified by the management, review related documents, and reconcile the records contained in the accounts.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements in accordance with the Regulation 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 Company Only Financial Statements, the management is responsible for assessing Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc.'s capability 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 Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc., or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc.'s financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the Parent Company Only Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditor's report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Auditing Standards of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatement may result from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
We exercised professional judgment and skepticism during the audit in accordance with the Auditing Standards of the Republic of China. We also perform the following tasks:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Parent Company 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.
-
Understand the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management, and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting based on the audit evidence obtained, and whether a material uncertainty exists for events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence acquired as of the date of the audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements (including relevant notes), and whether the Parent Company Only Financial Statements adequately present the relevant transactions and events.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence concerning the financial information of entities within the Advanced Optoelectronic Technology Inc., to express an opinion on the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Company's audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
The matters communicated between us and the governing body include the planned scope and time of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit).
We also provided the governing body with a declaration that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and we communicated with them all relationships that may be thought to undermine our independence and other matters (including related protective measures).
~4~
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Company's Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 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.

IV. Summary of significant accounting policies
The major accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this parent company only financial report are described below. Unless otherwise stated, these policies apply consistently throughout the reporting period.
(I) Compliance statement
This parent company only financial statement was prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
(II) Basis of preparation
- Except for the following items, the parent company only financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
(1) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
(2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred to herein as the "IFRSs") requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only financial statements are disclosed in Note V.
(III) Conversion of foreign currencies
Items included in the parent company only financial report of the Company are measured by the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (i.e. the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in the Company's functional currency, which is "New Taiwan Dollar".
~13~
- Transactions and balances in foreign currencies
(1) Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the functional currency at the spot exchange rate on the transaction or measurement date, and the difference from such conversion is recognized as the profits or losses for the current term.
(2) The balance of foreign currency assets and liabilities is adjusted according to the evaluation of the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the difference from such adjustment is recognized as the profits or losses for the current term.
(3) The balance of foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss is adjusted according to the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange difference generated as a result of the adjustment is recognized as the current profit and loss; the value measured through other for the comprehensive profit or loss that is measured at fair value, it shall be adjusted according to the evaluation of the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange difference arising from the adjustment shall be stated as the other comprehensive income. Those not measured using fair value shall be measured using historical rates on the initial trading day.
(4) All exchange gains and losses are reported in the "other gains and losses" of the comprehensive income statement.
- Conversion of foreign operations
(1) For all entities whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency, the operating results and financial status are converted into the presentation currency in the following ways:
A. Assets and liabilities expressed in each balance sheet are converted at the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date;
B. The income, expense, and loss expressed in each comprehensive income statement shall be converted at the average exchange rate in the current period; and
C. All exchange differences arising from conversion are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(2) When the foreign operations disposed or sold are affiliated companies, the exchange differences will be re-categorized under other comprehensive income proportionally to the current profits or losses as part of the sales profits or losses. However, if the Company still retains part of its equity in the former affiliate, but has lost its significant influence on the affiliated enterprise of foreign operations, it shall be treated as a disposal of all interests in the foreign operations.
(3) When the foreign operation that is partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, the accumulated exchange difference recognized in other comprehensive income is re-attributed to the non-controlling interests of the foreign operation on a pro-rata basis. However, if the Company still retains part of its equity in the former subsidiary but has lost control of the subsidiary of the foreign operation, it shall be treated as a disposal of all the equity of the foreign operation.
(IV) Classification criteria for current and non-current assets and liabilities
- Assets that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current assets:
(1) The asset is expected to be realized, sold or consumed in the normal business cycle.
(2) Mainly for trading purpose.
(3) Expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
(4) Cash or cash equivalents, except for those to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities in at least 12 months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all assets not meeting the above conditions as non-current.
- Liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities:
(1) Expected to be settled in the normal business cycle.
(2) Mainly for trading purpose.
(3) Expected to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period.
(4) Those that do not have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all liabilities not meeting the above conditions as non-current.
(V) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term and highly liquid investments that can be converted into a fixed amount of cash at any time with little risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and mature within three months from the date of acquisition and are held to meet short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
~14~
(VI) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
- Financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
- The Company adopts transaction day accounting for financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss in conformity with trading practices.
- The Company measures their fair values at the time of initial recognition, and the relevant transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss; subsequently, they are measured at fair value, and the profits or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
(VII) Financial assets at FVTOCI
- Refers to an irrevocable choice made at the time of original recognition to recognize the changes in the fair value of the equity instrument investment held not for trading in other comprehensive profit or loss.
- The Company adopts the transaction day accounting for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in conformity with trading practices.
- The Company measures its fair value plus transaction costs at the time of original recognition, and is subsequently measured at fair value:
Changes in the fair value of equity instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income. At the time of derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall not be reclassified to profit or loss but transferred to retained earnings. When the right to receive dividends is established, the economic benefits related to the dividends are very likely to inflow, and the dividend amount can be measured reliably, the Company recognizes dividend income in profit or loss.
(VIII) Financial assets at amortized cost
- These refer to assets that simultaneously meet the following conditions:
(1) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.
(2) The contractual terms of the financial assets generate the cash flow on a specific date, which are solely for the payment of the principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.
- The Company adopts trade date accounting for financial assets measured at amortized cost that meet customary transaction practices.
- The Company initially recognizes these assets at fair value plus transaction costs, and subsequently measures them using the effective interest method to amortize and recognize interest income over the circulation period, recognize impairment losses, and recognize gains or losses in profit or loss upon derecognition.
- Due to the short holding period, the fixed deposits held by the Company that do not conform to cash equivalents have a little discount effect and are therefore measured by the investment amount.
(IX) Accounts receivable
- Refer to the accounts for which the contract provides for the unconditional right to receive the amount of consideration obtained from the transfer of goods or services.
- For short-term accounts receivable with unpaid interest, the impact of discounting is small, and the Company measures them at the original invoice amount.
- The business model of the accounts receivable that the Company expects to sell is for the purpose.
(X) Impairment of financial assets
On each balance sheet date, the Company, with respect to financial assets measured at amortized cost and accounts receivable containing major financial components, considers all reasonable and supporting information (including forward-looking ones). Where the credit risk has not increased significantly since the original recognition, the loss allowance shall be measured at the 12-month expected credit loss amount; where the credit risk has increased significantly since the original recognition, the loss allowance shall be measured at the expected credit loss amount throughout the duration. For the accounts receivable that do not contain significant financial components, the allowance for loss is measured at the expected credit losses throughout the duration.
~15~
(XI) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company will de-recognize financial assets when one of the following conditions is met:
- Invalidation of the contractual right to receive cash flows from financial assets.
- The contractual rights over the cash flows of financial assets are transferred, and almost all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets have been transferred.
- The Company has transferred the contractual rights over the cash flows of financial assets, but has not retained control over the financial assets.
(XII) Inventory
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the cost is determined in accordance with the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, and production-related manufacturing expenses (allocated according to normal production capacity), but does not include borrowing costs. Where the lower cost and net realizable value, the itemized comparison method is adopted. Net realizable value is the balance from the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs required to complete the sale.
(XIII) Investment under equity method - Subsidiaries and affiliated enterprise
- Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when the Company 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.
- The unrealized profit or loss from the transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries has been eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
- The Company recognizes the share of profit or loss of the subsidiary after the acquisition as the current profit or loss, and recognizes the share of other comprehensive income after the acquisition of the subsidiary as other comprehensive income. If the share of losses recognized by the Company in a subsidiary equals or exceeds the equity in the said subsidiary, the Company continues to recognize losses in proportion to its shareholding ratio.
- Affiliated companies are entities over which the Company has significant influence but no control. Generally, the Company holds more than 20% of their shares with voting rights directly or indirectly. The Company's investment in an affiliated company is accounted for under the equity method and is recognized at time of acquisition at cost.
- The Company recognizes the share of profit or loss of the affiliated companies after the acquisition as the current profit or loss, and recognizes the share of other comprehensive income after the acquisition of the subsidiary as other comprehensive income. If the Company's share of losses on any affiliated company equals or exceeds its equity in the said affiliated company (including any other unsecured receivables), the Company will not recognize further losses, unless the Company incurs statutory obligations, constructive obligations, or payments made on behalf of them.
- When there is an equity change in the non-profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the affiliated company with no impact on the shareholding ratio of the affiliated company, the Company will recognize all the equity changes as "capital reserve" according to the shareholding ratio.
- The unrealized profits or losses arising from transactions between the Company and an affiliate have been written off proportionally to the equity the Company holds in the said affiliate. Unless evidence shows that assets transferred through the said transaction are impaired, unrealized losses are written off, too. Accounting policies of affiliated companies have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
- If the Company fails to subscribe or acquire new shares in proportion to the issuance of new shares, resulting in a change in the investment proportion but still significant influence on the affiliate, the increase or decrease in the change in the net value of equity shall be the adjustment of the "Capital Surplus" and "Equity-Method Investment." If the proportion of investment decreased as a result, except for the above adjustment, related to the decrease in ownership interest and has been recognized in the profit or loss of other
~16~
comprehensive income before, and the profit or loss must be reclassified to profit and loss during the disposal of related assets or liabilities, if any, is reclassified to profit or loss proportionally.
-
When the Company disposes of an associate, if it loses its material influence on the associate, for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income related to the associate, its accounting treatment will be the same as if the Company directly disposes of the relevant assets or liabilities. On the same basis, i.e. if the gain or loss previously recognized as other comprehensive income will be reclassified as profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed, losing material influence on the affiliates, the profit or loss is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. If it still has significant influence on the affiliated company, only the amount recognized previously in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out proportionally.
-
According to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the profits and losses and other comprehensive income of the current term in the Parent Company-only Financial Statement shall be identical to the amounts attributed to the owner of the parent company in the financial statements prepared on the basis of consolidation. The shareholders' equity as reported shall be identical to the equity attributable to the parent company in the financial statements prepared on the basis of consolidation.
(XIV) Property, plant, and equipment
- Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at the acquisition cost.
- Subsequent costs are included in the book value of assets or recognized as a separate asset only when the future economic benefits related to the project are likely to flow into the Company and the cost of the project can be measured reliably. The book value of replacements shall be de-recognized. All other maintenance expenses are recognized as income at the time of occurrence.
- Property, plant, and equipment are subsequently measured at cost. Except for land, no depreciation is made, whereas depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful years. If the components of property, plant and equipment are significant, they are separately depreciated.
- The Company examines the residual value, useful lives and depreciation methods of each asset at the end of each fiscal year. If the residual value and useful lives are different from the estimates, or if there is a material change in the expected consumption pattern of future economic benefits of the asset, the effect shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes and Errors in Accounting Estimates" from the date of the occurrence of the changes.
The durability of each asset is as follows:
| Houses and buildings | 3 to 26 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 1 to 6 years |
| Office equipment | 6 years |
| Other equipment | 1 to 6 years |
(XV) Lease transactions with lessees - right-of-use assets/lease liabilities
- Lease assets are recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the date they are available for use by the Company. When the lease contract is a short-term lease or lease of a low-value target asset, the lease payment shall be recognized as expenses during the lease period using the straight-line method.
- Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the lease payments that have not been paid at the beginning of the lease at the discounted current value of the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.
Subsequently, the interest method is adopted and measured by the after-amortization cost, and interest expenses are provided during the lease period. When the lease period or lease payment changes other than contract modification, the lease liabilities will be reassessed and the right-of-use assets will be re-measured.
- The right-of-use assets are recognized at cost on the lease start date, and the cost includes the initially measured amount of the lease liabilities.
The subsequent measurement is based on the cost model, and the depreciation expense is recognized when the service life of the right-of-use assets expires or the lease term expires, whichever is earlier. When the lease liabilities are reassessed, the right-of-use assets will adjust any re-measurement of the lease liabilities.
~17~
- For the lease modification that reduces the scope of the lease, the lessee will reduce the book value of the right-of-use assets to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize the difference between the re-measured amount of the leasehold and the lease liabilities in profit or loss. For all other lease modifications, the book value of the right-of-use asset shall be adjusted to correspond with the remeasured lease liability.
(XVI) Intangible assets
- The royalty is recognized at the acquisition cost and amortized over the effective years of the contract.
- Computer software is recognized at the cost of acquisition and amortized using the straight-line method over 1 to 10 years of estimated durability.
(XVII) Impairment of non-financial assets
On the Balance Sheet date, the Group estimates the recoverable value of assets with signs of impairment. When the recoverable value is less than the book value, the impairment loss is recognized. Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset less the disposal cost or the use value, whichever is higher. When the impairment of assets recognized in the previous year does not exist or decrease, the impairment loss will be reversed. However, the increase in the book value of the assets due to the reversal of the impairment loss shall not exceed the book value of the asset without the impairment loss recognized less the amount of the depreciation or amortization of the asset.
(XVIII) Borrowings
Refers to short-term borrowings from banks. The Company measures its fair value less transaction costs at the time of initial recognition, and subsequently, for any difference between the price after deducting transaction costs and the redemption value, the effective interest method is used to recognize interest expenses during the outstanding period according to the amortization procedure in profit or loss.
(XIX) Accounts payable
- Refers to liabilities arising from the purchase of raw materials, commodities, or labor services on credit and accounts payable arising from business and non-business reasons.
- For short-term accounts payable with unpaid interest, the impact of discounting is small, and the Company measures them at the original invoice amount.
(XX) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss
- Financial liabilities held for trading with the main purpose of repurchasing in the near future and derivatives other than those designated as hedging instruments according to hedge accounting.
- The Company measures their fair values at the time of initial recognition, and the relevant transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss; subsequently, they are measured at fair value, and the profits or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
(XXI) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company will derecognize financial liabilities when the contractual obligation is fulfilled, canceled or expired.
(XXII) Non-hedging derivative instruments
Non-hedging derivatives are measured at the fair value on the contract signing date at the time of original recognition, and recognized as financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value through income; subsequently, they are measured at fair value, and the profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
~18~
(XXIII) Employee benefit
- Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured by the non-discounted amount expected to be paid, and stated as expenses when the related services are provided.
- Pension fund
(1) Determined contribution plan
For the defined contribution plan, the amount to be allocated to the pension fund is recognized as the pension cost in the current period on an accrual basis. Prepaid contribution is recognized as assets to the extent of refundable in cash or reduced in future payments.
(2) Defined benefit plan
A. The net obligation under the defined benefit plan is calculated by discounting the future benefit amount earned by the employee in the current period or in the past, and the fair value of the plan asset is deducted from the present value of the defined benefit obligation on the balance sheet date. An actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method estimates defined benefit obligations each year. The discount rate is the market yield rate of the government bonds (at the balance sheet date) with the same currency and duration as the defined benefit plan on the balance sheet date.
B. The re-measurement generated from the defined benefit plan shall be stated as other comprehensive income in the current period and presented in the retained earnings.
- Termination benefits
Termination benefits are the benefits provided upon termination of employment before a normal retirement date or provided by employees upon acceptance of an offer of benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Company will not state the benefits as expenses until the offer of benefits cannot be withdrawn or the related reorganization cost is stated, whichever earlier. It is not expected that benefits in full 12 months after balance sheet date will be discounted.
- Remuneration to employees and directors
The remuneration of employees and directors is recognized as expenses and liabilities when they have legal or constructive obligations and the value can be reasonably estimated. Subsequently, if the actual distributed amount resolved is different from the estimate, the difference shall be treated as a change in accounting estimate.
(XXIV) Income tax
-
Income tax expenses include current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss, except for the income tax related to the items recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss or recognized directly in equity and recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss or directly recognized in equity, respectively.
-
The current income tax is calculated according to the tax rate that has been enacted or substantially enacted in the countries where the Company is operating and generating taxable income on the balance sheet date. The management regularly evaluates the status of income tax filings for applicable income tax laws and regulations, and estimates income tax liabilities based on the taxes expected to be paid to the tax authorities, if applicable. The income tax for undistributed earnings that is levied in accordance with the Income Tax Act is to be recognized in undistributed earnings income tax expenses in accordance with the actual distribution of earnings in the year following the year in which the earnings are generated, after the proposal for distribution of earnings is passed at the shareholders' meeting.
-
The balance sheet method is adopted for deferred income tax, and the temporary difference generated between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the book value in the parent company only balance sheet is recognized. If the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction (excluding business merger), and the accounting profit or taxable income (taxable loss) is not affected by the transaction, and does not generate equivalent taxable amount and deductible temporary differences, the deferred income tax shall not be recognized. Taxable temporary difference generated from investment in subsidiaries and affiliates, of which the time of reverse is controllable by the Company and which is not likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future, shall not be recognized. Deferred income tax is subject to the tax rate (and tax law) that has been enacted or substantively enacted
~19~
on the balance sheet date and is expected to apply when the relevant deferred income tax assets are realized or the deferred income tax liabilities are settled.
-
Deferred income tax assets shall be recognized, insofar as temporary difference is very likely to offset against future taxable income, and the unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets shall be re-evaluated on each balance sheet date.
-
Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset against each other when the Company has the legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and the Company intends to settle on a net basis or realize assets and settle liabilities simultaneously. When there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities, and the deferred income tax assets and liabilities are levied by the same tax authority for the same tax subject, or different tax subjects resulted, but each tax subject intends for the deferred income tax assets and liabilities to offset against each other when they are settled on a net basis or the assets and liabilities are realized at the same time.
(XXV) Share capital
Common shares are classified as equity. The incremental cost directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or stock warrants, net of income tax, is stated as a deduction in equity.
(XXVI) Distribution of dividends
Dividends distributed to the Company's shareholders are recognized in the financial statements when the Company's shareholders' meeting decides to distribute such dividends. Cash dividends are recognized as liabilities, and stock dividends are recognized as stock dividends to be distributed and recognized as common stock on the base date of issuance of new shares.
(XXVII) Recognition of income
Sales of goods
-
The Company manufactures and sells LED and other related products. The sales revenue is recognized when the control of the product is transferred to the customer, that is, when the product is delivered to the customer and the Company has no outstanding performance obligation that may affect the customer in accepting the product. When the product is delivered to the designated location, the risk of obsolescence and loss has been transferred to the customer, and the customer accepts the product according to the sales contract, or there is objective evidence to prove that all acceptance criteria have been met.
-
Accounts receivable are recognized when the goods are delivered to the customer. Since then, the Company has unconditional rights to the contract price, and the consideration can be collected from the customer after a certain period of time.
(XXVIII) Government grants
Government grants are recognized at fair value when it is reasonably certain that the enterprise will comply with the conditions attached to the government grant and will receive the grant. If the government subsidies, in nature, are intended to compensate the expenses incurred by the Company, the government subsidies shall be recognized as current profit or loss on a systematic basis during the period when the relevant expenses are incurred.

V. Major sources of significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions uncertainty
When the Company prepared this parent company only financial report, the management has used its judgment to determine the adopted accounting policies, and made accounting estimates and assumptions based on the reasonable expectation of future events based on the situation on the balance sheet date. The significant accounting estimates and assumptions made may differ from the actual results. Historical experience and other factors will be considered for continuous evaluation and adjustment. These estimates and assumptions contain risks that may result in significant adjustments to the book values of assets and liabilities in the next fiscal year. Please see below for a detailed description of the uncertainty of significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions:
(I) Important judgments adopted for accounting policies
None.
(II) Important accounting estimates and assumptions
Valuation of inventories
Because inventories must be priced at the lower of the cost and net realizable value, the Company must use judgment and estimation to determine the net realizable value of inventories on the balance sheet date. Due to the large number of competitors in mainland China, commodity prices are susceptible to fluctuations or product sales are not as good as expected. The Company assesses the amount of inventory on the balance sheet date due to normal wear and tear, obsolescence, or no market sales value, and writes off the cost of the inventories against it to net realizable value. This inventory evaluation is mainly based on the estimated product demand in a specific period in the future, so significant changes may occur.
On December 31, 2025, the book value of the Company's inventories amounted to NT$170,846.

Price risk
A. The Company's equity instruments exposed to price risk are financial assets measured at fair value through profits or losses and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. In order to manage the price risk of equity instrument investment, the Company diversifies its investment portfolio according to the limit set by the Company.
B. The Company mainly invests in equity instruments issued by domestic companies. The prices of these equity instruments will be affected by the uncertainty of the future values of the investment objects. If the prices of these equity instruments rose or fell by $1\%$ , with all other factors remaining unchanged, other comprehensive income in 2025 and 2024 would be classified as gains of equity investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The contingent loss would increase or decrease by NT$3,073 and NT$3,827, respectively.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Company does not hold borrowings with floating interest rates, so there is no significant exposure to cash flow and interest rate risk of fair value.
(2) Credit risk
A. The credit risk of the Company is the risk of financial loss due to the failure of customers or counterparties of financial instrument transactions to fulfill contractual obligations, which mainly comes from the inability of counterparties to pay off accounts receivable according to the collection terms.
B. The Company establishes credit risk management. According to the internal credit policy, the Company and each new customer shall determine the payment and delivery terms and conditions before establishing the terms and conditions for payment and delivery and credit risk analysis.
Internal risk control is to evaluate the credit quality of customers by considering their financial position, past experience and other factors. The limit of individual risk is set by the Board of Directors according to the internal or external rating. The usage of the credit limit is monitored regularly.
C. The Company adopts IFRS 9 to provide the hypotheses. When the contract payment is overdue for more than 90 days according to the agreed payment terms, it is deemed that a default has occurred.
D. The Company applies IFRS 9 and makes the following assumptions: When the contract payment is overdue for more than 30 days according to the agreed payment terms, it is deemed that the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly since the original recognition.
E. The Company classifies accounts receivable of customers according to the characteristics of trade credit risk, and estimates the expected credit loss based on the provision matrix and loss rate method.
F. After the recourse procedure, the Company will write off the amount of the financial assets for which the recovery cannot be reasonably expected. However, the Company will continue the recourse procedure to preserve the rights of the claims. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any creditor's rights that were written off but were still subject to recourse.
G. Credit-worthy customer groups have an expected loss rate of 0.2%. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total carrying amounts of accounts receivable (including related parties) were $143,238 and $136,784, with allowance for losses of $42 and $47, respectively.
H. The Company incorporates economic countermeasures from the National Development Commission into its forward-looking considerations, and adjusts the loss rate based on historical and current information in a specific period to estimate the value of the allowance for loss of the accounts receivable (including related parties) of general credit customers. The preparation matrix as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, is as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | Expected loss rate | Total book value | Allowance for losses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not overdue | 0.20% | $ 228,480 | $ 461 |
| Within 30 days of overdue | 25.92% | 1,474 | 382 |
| Past due by 31 to 60 days | 50.00% | 667 | 334 |
| Past due by 61 to 90 days | 50.00% | 124 | 62 |
| Overdue by more than 91 days | 100.00% | 1,546 | 1,546 |
| $ 232,291 | $ 2,785 | ||
| December 31, 2024 | Expected loss rate | Total book value | Allowance for losses |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Not overdue | 0.72% | $ 319,853 | $ 3,028 |
| Within 30 days of overdue | 28.18% | 117 | 33 |
| Past due by 31 to 60 days | 50.00% | 27 | 14 |
| $ 319,997 | $ 3,075 |
I. Based on historical experience, the Company uses individual assessment to calculate expected credit losses for customers with higher credit risk. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total carrying amounts of accounts receivable (including related parties) were NT$41,747 and NT$16,108, with allowance for losses of NT$40,678 and NT$116, respectively.
J. The changes in allowance for losses on accounts receivable (including related parties) under the simplified approach adopted by the Company are as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| January 1 | $ | 3,238 | $ 6,210 |
| Provision (reversal) of impairment loss | 40,267 | ( 2,972) | |
| December 31 | $ | 43,505 | $ 3,238 |
Among the provisions (reversed) of losses in 2025 and 2024, the (reversed) provision for impairment of receivables generated from contracts with customers amounted to NT$40,267 and (NT$2,972), respectively.
(3) Liquidity risk
A. The cash flow forecast is carried out by each operating unit within the Company and summarized by the Company's financial unit. The Company's financial unit monitors the forecast of the Company's liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient funds to meet operating needs.
B. The following table shows the Company's non-derivative financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities settled on a net or gross basis, which are classified according to the relevant maturity dates. Non-derivative financial liabilities are based on the residual period from the balance sheet date to the contract maturity date. Derivative financial liabilities are analyzed based on the residual period from the balance sheet date to the expected maturity date. The contractual cash flows disclosed in the table below are the undiscounted amounts.
| December 31, 2025 | Less than 1 year | 1 to 2 years | 2 to 5 years | Total |

(III) Information on fair value
- The levels of the evaluation techniques used to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments are defined as follows:
Level 1: The quoted price (unadjusted) is available to the enterprise in an active market for the same assets or liabilities on the measurement date. An active market refers to a market in which assets or liabilities are traded in sufficient frequency and quantity to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the listed and OTC stocks invested by the Company belongs to this.
Level 2: Direct or indirect observable inputs for assets or liabilities, except for quoted prices included in Level 1. The fair value of the emerging stocks and derivative instruments invested by the Company belongs to this.
Level 3: The unobservable input value of assets or liabilities includes the equity instrument investment that the Company invests in and for which there is no active market.
- Financial instruments not measured at fair value
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables (including related parties), short-term loans, accounts payable (including related parties), other payables (including related parties), and lease liabilities are reasonable approximations of fair value.
- The financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value are classified according to the nature, characteristics, risk, and fair value level of the assets and liabilities. Relevant information is as follows:
(1) The information is classified according to the nature of the Company's assets and liabilities. The relevant information is as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |

| Forward Exchange Contract | $ - | $ 4,709 | $ - | $ 4,709 |
(2) The methods and hypotheses used by the Company to measure fair value are as follows:
A. If the Company adopts market quotation as the input value of fair value (i.e. Level 1), the characteristics of the instruments are as follows:
Market quotation
Listed company stock Closing price
B. Except for the financial instruments in the active market, the fair value of other financial instruments is based on the evaluation technology or with reference to the quotation of the counterparty.
C. When evaluating non-standardized and less complicated financial instruments, the Company adopts the evaluation techniques widely used by market participants. The parameters used in the evaluation model of this kind of financial instrument are usually the information that is observable in the market.
D. The derivative financial instruments were evaluated according to the evaluation models widely accepted by the market users, such as the discount method. Foreign exchange forward contracts are usually evaluated based on the current forward exchange rate.
E. The output of the evaluation model is the estimated value, and the evaluation technique may not reflect all the factors related to the financial and non-financial instruments held by the Company. Therefore, the estimated value of the evaluation model will be adjusted according to additional parameters, such as model risk or liquidity risk. According to the Company's fair value evaluation model management policies and related control procedures, the management believes that the evaluation adjustment is appropriate and necessary to properly express the fair value of the
financial and non-financial instruments in the parent company only balance sheet. The price information and parameters used in the evaluation process have been carefully evaluated and adjusted according to the current market conditions.
- There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 in 2025 and 2024.
- There was no transfer in or out from Level 3 in 2025 and 2024.
- In the evaluation process for the Company's fair value classified to Level 3, the Finance Department is responsible for verifying the independent fair value of the financial instrument. The data from independent sources are used to approximate the evaluation results to the market status, and to confirm that the data sources are independent, reliable, and resources and any necessary fair value adjustment to ensure that the evaluation result is reasonable.
In addition, the finance department determines the fair value evaluation policies, evaluation procedures, and confirmation of financial instruments in accordance with relevant International Financial Reporting Standards.
- The Company carefully selects the evaluation model and evaluation parameters; however, different evaluation models or parameters may result in different evaluation results.
