In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of AP Memory Technology Corporation as of December 2025 and 2024 and of the financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of AP Memory Technology Corporation from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Basis for Opinion
We were commissioned to conduct our audit in accordance with Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Accountant's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements' section of our report. We are independent of AP Memory Technology Corporation in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants
and Accounting Entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
The key audit matter is which that, in our professional judgment, is most significant to our review of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of AP Memory Technology Corporation for 2025. Such matter has been considered in the process of examining the parent company only financial statements taken as a whole and forming an opinion thereon, and we do not express an opinion on the matter individually.
The following is the description of the key audit matter in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of AP Memory Technology Corporation for 2025:
Authenticity of Sales Revenue from Specific Customers
In the fiscal year 2025, AP Memory Technology Corporation’s sales revenue from certain customers has shown significant growth compared to the fiscal year 2024, constituting a substantial portion of the total sales revenue. Therefore, the authenticity of the related sales revenue has been identified as one of the key audit matters.
During the audit, our accountants performed the following audit procedures in response to this key audit matter:
- Understand and evaluate the internal control system related to revenue recognition, and test the design and execution of such controls.
-
Sample confirmation requests were sent for the entire year's sales revenue from the specific customers, and alternative procedures were conducted for those from whom confirmation
-
3 -
was not timely received. This includes verifying transaction evidence and subsequent collections.
-
Perform audit sampling on the sales revenue details of the specific customers, review related transaction documents, including customer orders, shipping documents, and receipts, to confirm the authenticity of the revenue recognized.
-
Audit the occurrences of sales returns and allowances after the reporting period and subsequent collections to confirm the reasonableness of the sales revenue recognized.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management’s responsibility is to prepare the parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, according to Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers as well as maintain necessary internal control related to the preparation of the parent company only financial statements in order to ensure there is no major untrue expression on the financial statements due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability of AP Memory Technology Corporation to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate AP Memory Technology Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative, but to do so.
The responsibilities of the governing body (including the audit committee) include overseeing the financial reporting process of AP Memory Technology Corporation.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS 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 in the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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 audit opinions. Because fraud may be related to conspiracy, forgery, deliberate omission, false statement or breach of internal control, the risk of a material misstatement caused by fraud which is not identified is higher than the risk of a material misstatement caused by any error.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 internal control effectiveness of AP Memory Technology Corporation.
-
Assess the appropriateness of management’s use of accounting policies and the reasonability of the accounting estimate and relevant disclosure.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
-
5 -
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of AP Memory Technology Corporation 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 inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause AP Memory Technology Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements (including the relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
We have obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence to audit the financial information of AP Memory Technology Corporation to express an opinion on the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. We are responsible for the guidance, supervision and execution of the audit and for forming an audit opinion on AP Memory Technology Corporation.
We communicate with the governing body regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiency in internal controls that we identify during our audit).
We have also provided the governing body with a statement that the independence-regulated personnel of the firm to which we are affiliated have complied with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants with respect to independence and communicate with the governing body about all relationships and other matters (including related protective measures) that may be considered to affect the accountant's independence.
We have determined the key audit matter for the audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of AP Memory Technology Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2025 from
- 6 -
the communications we have had with the governing body. We identified such matter in our auditor's report, except for those matters that are not permitted by law to be disclosed publicly or, in the rarest of circumstances, we decided not to communicate those matters in our auditor's report because we reasonably could expect the negative effect of such communication to outweigh the public interest.

Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024
(Unless otherwise specified, the basic unit for any amount shall be in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars.)
- General
AP Memory Technology Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") was incorporated on August 4, 2011, upon approval of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The Company mainly engages in the research, development, production and sale of various integrated circuit (IC) products, and provides technical services related to the product design, research and development.
Upon approval of Taipei Exchange (TPEx) in June 2015, the Company started trading on Emerging Stock Board of TPEx and then trading on Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) on May 31, 2016. In January 2022, the Company made an initial public offering of global depositary receipts (GDRs) by way of a capital raising issue of new shares and was listed on the Bourse de Luxembourg.
The parent company only financial statements are presented in the Company's functional currency, the New Taiwan dollar.
- The Authorization of Financial Statements
The parent company only financial statements were approved by the board of directors on February 26, 2026.
- Application of New and Revised International Financial Reporting Standards
(1) Initial application of the amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, the "IFRSs") endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC).
The initial application of the amendments to the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC would not have any material impact on the accounting policies of the Company.
(2) FSC-approved IFRSs applicable in 2026
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | Effective Date Issued by IASB (Note 1) |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments” | Jan. 1, 2026 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity” | Jan. 1, 2026 |
| Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11 | Jan. 1, 2026 |
| IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” | Jan. 1, 2026 |
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments”
(1) Amendments to the application guidance for the classification of financial assets. The amendment primarily revises the classification requirements for financial assets, including:
(A) If a financial asset includes a contingency that may alter the timing or amount of contractual cash flows, and the nature of such contingency is not directly related to changes in basic lending risks or costs (e.g., whether the debtor achieves a specified reduction in carbon emissions), the contractual cash flows of the financial asset shall still be considered solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, provided that both of the following conditions are met:
- Under all possible scenarios (both before and after the occurrence of the contingency), the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and
- The contractual cash flows under all possible scenarios do not differ significantly from those of a financial instrument with the same contractual terms but without the contingent feature.
(B) A financial asset with non-recourse features refers to the entity’s ultimate right to receive cash flows that, under the terms of the contract, are limited to those generated by specified assets.
(C) It clarifies that contractually linked instruments are structured through a waterfall payment mechanism to create multiple tranches of securities, thereby establishing a hierarchy of payment priorities among holders of the financial assets. This structure results in credit risk concentration and causes
- 15 -
disproportionate allocation of cash shortfalls from the underlying pool across different tranches.
(2) The amendments to the application guidance of derecognition of financial liabilities:
The amendments mainly stipulate that, when settling a financial liability in cash using an electronic payment system, the Company can choose to derecognize the financial liability before the settlement date if, and only if, the Company has initiated a payment instruction that resulted in:
- The Company having no practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instruction;
- The Company having no practical ability to access the cash to be used for settlement as a result of the payment instruction; and
- The settlement risk associated with the electronic payment system being insignificant.
The Company shall apply the amendments retrospectively but is not required to restate prior periods. The effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance at the date of initial application. If the Company is able to restate without the benefit of hindsight, it may choose the comparative period to be restated.
As of the date the parent only financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company assessed the possible impact that the application of above standards and interpretations will not materially impact the Company's financial position and financial performance.
(3) New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations | Effective Date Issued by IASB (Note 1) |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture” | To be determined by IASB |
| IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements” | Jan 1, 2027 (Note 2) |
| IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” (Including the 2025 revision) | Jan 1, 2027 |
| Amendments to IAS 21 “Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency” | Jan 1, 2027 |
Note 1: Unless otherwise stated, the above new/amended/revised standards or interpretations are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after the respective dates.
Note 2: On September 25, 2025, the FSC announced that IFRS 18 will take effect starting from January 1, 2028. Domestic entities could elect to apply IFRS 18 for an earlier period after the endorsement of IFRS 18 by the FSC.
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements” and consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1” Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
- Items of income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss shall be classified into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discounted operations categories.
- The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
- Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Group shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Group shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Group labels items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative label.
-
Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Group as a whole, the Group shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
-
17 -
In addition, a consequential amendment has been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:
- The Company shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
- Interest and dividends received by the Company shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Company has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the parent only financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of above standards and interpretations will have on the Company’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(1) Statement of Compliance
The parent only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs approved and issued by the FSC.
(2) Basis of Preparation
Apart from financial instruments measured at fair value, these parent only financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
18 -
- Level 2 inputs are 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); and
- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company accounts for its investments in subsidiaries and associates using the equity method. To align the current year's profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and equity in the parent company only financial statements with those attributable to the owners of the Company in the consolidated financial statements, certain accounting differences between the parent company only and consolidated bases are adjusted in "Investments accounted for using the equity method," "Share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates using the equity method," and "Share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates using the equity method" and related equity items.
(3) Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include:
1. assets held mainly for transaction purposes;
2. assets to be realized within 12 months of the asset balance sheet; and
3. cash and cash equivalents (but not including cash used to exchange or clear liability within 12 months of the asset balance sheet).
Current liabilities include:
1. liabilities held mainly for transaction purposes;
2. liabilities due for payment within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
3. the business entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Assets or liabilities not classified within the above definitions will be classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
(4) Foreign Currencies
When preparing the parent only financial statements, each entity translates transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity (foreign currencies) into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rate at each balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the settlement of
- 19 -
monetary items or the translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.
Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The resulting exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss; however, for those fair value changes recognized in other comprehensive income, the resulting exchange differences are also recognized in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of transactions and are not retranslated.
For the purpose of preparing the parent only financial statements, assets and liabilities of foreign operations (including subsidiaries that operate in countries or currencies different from those of the Company) are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on each balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period and the resulting exchange differences are included in other comprehensive income.
If the Company disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, all related cumulative exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss.
(5) Inventories
Inventories include raw materials, finished goods, and work in progress. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When comparing cost and net realizable value, items are assessed individually, except for inventories of similar categories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method.
(6) Investment in Subsidiaries
The Company accounts for its investments in subsidiaries using the equity method. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has control.
Under the equity method, investments are initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount thereafter is increased or decreased to recognize the Company's share of the subsidiaries' profit or loss and other comprehensive income as well as distributions received. Furthermore, changes in the Company's share of the subsidiaries' other equity are recognized in proportion to the shareholding.
- 20 -
When changes in the Company's ownership interests in a subsidiary do not result in the loss of control, they are treated as equity transactions. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
When the Company's share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary (including the carrying amount under the equity method and any other long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company's net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues to recognize further losses in proportion to its shareholding.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized; if the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary at the date of acquisition exceeds the cost of acquisition, this excess is recognized immediately in profit.
When assessing impairment, the Company considers the entire financial statement to assess cash-generating units and compares their recoverable amount to their carrying amount. If the recoverable amount of an asset increases subsequently, the reversal of any recognized impairment loss is recognized as income, provided that the carrying amount of the asset after the reversal does not exceed its carrying amount, less accumulated depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized. Impairment losses related to goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Company measures any remaining investment in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date control is lost. The difference between the fair value of any remaining investment and any disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment at the date when control is lost is recognized in profit or loss. Additionally, the accounting treatment for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to that subsidiary is the same as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
(7) Investments in Associates
Associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence but which are not subsidiaries.
The Company accounts for investments in associates using the equity method.
- 21 -
Under the equity method, investments in associates are initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate after the date of acquisition. Furthermore, changes in the Company's share of the equity of associates are recognized in proportion to the shareholding.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the associate at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. If the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the associate at the date of acquisition exceeds the cost of acquisition, this excess is immediately recognized in profit or loss.
For impairment assessment, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is considered as a single asset to compare the recoverable amount with the carrying amount for impairment testing. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any assets that make up the carrying amount of the investment, including goodwill. Any reversal of impairment losses is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment increases subsequently.
The Company ceases using the equity method from the date its investment is no longer an associate. The retained interest in the former associate is measured at fair value, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the investment at the date when the equity method is ceased is recognized in profit or loss.
Gains and losses from upstream, downstream, and lateral transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent that they are unrelated to the Company's equity interest in the associate
(8) Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recognized by cost, and then measured by cost less accumulated depreciation.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated separately over their useful lives on a straight-line basis for each significant component. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods at least at the end of each year and defers the effect of changes in applicable accounting estimates.
- 22 -
The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss when property, plant, and equipment are derecognized.
(9) Intangible Assets
- Separately acquired
Separately acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives are initially measured at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods of the intangible assets at least at each financial year-end and defers the effect of any changes in accounting estimates.
- Derecognition
When an intangible asset is derecognized, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as a gain or loss in the current year's profit or loss.
(10) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment, Right-of-use Assets and Intangible Assets
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets may be impaired. If there is any indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated, and if the recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be estimated, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Shared assets are allocated to the smallest cash-generating unit groups on a reasonable and consistent basis.
The recoverable amount is the higher value in use and fair value less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit shall be reduced to its recoverable amount, with the impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
When the following recoverable amount increases, the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit increases to the amount that can be recovered after the revision. However, the increased carrying amount shall not exceed that (minus amortization or depreciation) determined by the asset or cash generating unit where
- 23 -
the impairment loss was not recognized in the previous year. The reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
(11) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the parent only Statement of Financial Position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
On initial recognition, financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- Financial Assets
The transaction practice of the financial assets adopts accounting recognition and de-recognition on the transaction day.
(1) Measurement Types
The types of financial assets held by the Company are financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at amortized cost.
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include investments in equity instruments which are not designated by the Company as measured at FVTOCI, and investments in debt instruments that do not qualify for classification as measured at amortized cost or measured at FVTOCI.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, with dividends, interest generated and gains or losses from remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. For the method of determining fair value, please refer to Note 26.
B. Financial assets measured at amortized cost
- 24 -
The Company’s investments in financial assets are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
a. they are held within an operating model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect the contractual cash flows; and
b. the contractual terms give rise to cash flows at a specific date, which are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, investments in debt instruments measured at amortized cost, accounts receivable, other receivables and refundable deposits) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method to determine the total carrying amount less any impairment loss after initial recognition, with any foreign currency exchange gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the total carrying amount of the financial assets except in the following situations.
a. For financial assets credit-impaired at acquisition or origination, interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate adjusted for credit losses on the amortized cost of the financial asset.
b. For financial assets not credit-impaired at acquisition or origination but subsequently became credit-impaired, interest income is calculated from the period after the credit impairment using the effective interest rate on the amortized cost of the financial asset.
A credit-impaired financial asset is one for which the issuer or the debtor has experienced significant financial difficulties, defaulted, it is probable that the debtor will declare bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, or an active market for the financial asset has disappeared due to financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents include highly liquid deposits that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of
- 25 -
changes in value and are within three months of maturity from the date of acquisition, used to meet short-term cash commitments.
(2) Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including accounts receivable) at each balance sheet date based on expected credit losses.
Accounts receivable are recognized as an allowance for loss based on expected credit losses during the period of duration. Other financial assets are first evaluated to determine whether there is a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If not, they are recognized as an allowance for loss based on expected credit losses over 12 months, and if so, based on expected credit losses over the duration period.
Expected credit losses represent the weighted-average credit losses based on the risk of default. 12-month expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses arising from possible defaults of financial instruments within 12 months after the reporting date. Lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
For internal credit risk management purposes, without considering the collateral held, the Company considers a financial asset defaulted when internal or external information indicates the debtor is unlikely to pay its debts.
All impairment losses on financial assets are reduced through an allowance account against their carrying amount.
(2) Derecognition of Financial Assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets have lapsed or when the financial assets have been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets have been transferred to other enterprises.
When a financial asset measured at amortized cost is derecognized in its entirety, the difference between its carrying amount and the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss.
- 26 -
- Equity Instruments
Debts and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity based on the substance of the contractual agreements and the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the amount of the acquisition price less direct issuance costs.
Repurchases of the Company's own equity instruments are recognized and deducted under equity. Transactions involving the purchase, sale, issuance, or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments are not recognized in profit or loss.
- Financial Liabilities
(1) Subsequent Measurement
All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
(2) Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
Any difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability at the time of derecognition and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(12) Income Recognition
The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation after the performance obligation is identified in the customer contract and recognizes revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
- Revenue from Sales of Goods
Revenue from sales of goods arises from the sale of integrated circuit products. Since customers have determined prices and rights to use the goods with the primary responsibility for resale and bear the risks of obsolescence once trade terms are met, the Company recognizes revenue and accounts receivable at that point. Prepayments received for product sales are recognized as contract liabilities until the product is shipped.
When providing processing services, revenue is not recognized as control of the processed products does not transfer upon processing.
- 27 -
- Service Revenue
Service revenue arises from providing design, research and development of technical services as per contract, recognized based on the completion stage of the contract.
Revenue from design, research and development services provided by the Company is recognized based on the completion stage of the contract.
- Licensing Revenue
For technology licensing transactions, as there is no commitment to engage in activities that change the functionality of the silicon intellectual property, and such technology can operate without updates or technical support, licensing fees are recognized as licensing revenue at the time the right to use the silicon intellectual property is transferred.
(13) Lease
The Company assesses on the inception date of a contract whether the contract is (or contains) a lease.
The Company as a lessee
The lease payments for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases that qualify for recognition exemptions are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For all other leases, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date.
The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost (including the original measurement of lease liabilities) and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, with the adjustment of lease liability remeasurements. The right-of-use assets are presented separately in the parent only balance sheet.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date of the lease to the earlier of the end of the useful life or the lease term.
Lease liabilities are measured initially at the present value of the lease payments (including fixed payments). If the implied interest rate of the lease is readily determinable, the lease payments are discounted using that rate. If the rate is not readily determinable, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, and interest expense is amortized over the lease term. If there is a change in future lease payments due to changes in the lease period, the Company
- 28 -
remeasures the lease liability and adjusts the right-of-use asset accordingly, but if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented separately in the parent only balance sheet.
(14) Employee Benefits
- Short-term employee benefits
The liability related to short-term employee benefits is measured as the non-discounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for employee services.
- Retirement benefits
Defined benefit pension plans are recognized as expenses over the period of service of the employees.
(15) Share-based Payment Arrangements
- Equity Settlement Share-Based Payment Agreement for Employees
Employee stock options are recognized at the fair value of the equity instruments granted and the best estimate of the number expected to vest, expensed over the vesting period on a straight-line basis, with a simultaneous adjustment to capital surplus - employee stock options. If they vest immediately at the grant date, the expense is fully recognized on the grant date.
The Company revises its estimate of the number of employee stock options expected to vest at each balance sheet date. If there is an adjustment to the original estimated number, the impact is recognized in profit or loss to reflect the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - employee stock options.
- Equity Settlement Share-Based Payment Agreement for Subsidiaries’ Employees
The employee stock options granted by the Company to the employees of its subsidiaries, settled through the Company’s equity instruments, are regarded as capital contributions to the subsidiaries. They are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date, recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the investment in the subsidiaries over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus – employee stock options.
(16) Income Tax
Income tax expense is the sum of current income taxes and deferred income taxes.
-
Current income tax
-
29 -
The Company determines the current income (loss) in accordance with the regulations of each jurisdiction in which it files income tax returns and calculates the income tax payable (recoverable) accordingly.
The income tax on undistributed earnings under the Income Tax Act of the ROC is recognized in the year of the resolution of the shareholders' meeting.
The adjustment of income tax payable in the previous year shall be included in the current income tax.
- Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is calculated based on the temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the books and the basis for the calculation of taxable income.
Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred income tax assets are recognized when it is probable that there will be taxable income available to offset the temporary differences and loss carryforwards.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that these differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profit available to utilize the temporary difference and it is expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced for those where it is no longer probable that there will be sufficient taxable income to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets not previously recognized as such are also reviewed at each balance sheet date and the carrying amount is increased for those where it is probable that taxable income will be available to recover all or part of the assets.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured by the tax rate of the expected liabilities settlement or assets realization in the current period, according to the tax rate and the tax law which have been legalized or substantively legalized on the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred
- 30 -
tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences of the way in which the Company is expected to recover or pay off the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date.
- Current and deferred income taxes
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
- Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation and Uncertainty
When the Company adopts an accounting policy, management must make relevant judgments, estimates, and assumptions of relevant information that is difficult to obtain from other sources based on historical experience and other relevant factors.
The management will continuously review the estimates and underlying assumptions. If the revisions to estimates only affect the current period, they are recognized in the current period; if the adjustments to accounting estimates affect both the current and future periods, they are recognized in both the current and future periods. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Valuation of Inventory
Net realizable value of inventory is the estimated selling price less the estimated costs to completion and sale in normal operating conditions. Such estimates are based on current market conditions and historical sale experience of similar products. Changes in market conditions may materially affect such estimates.
Fair Value Measurement and Valuation Techniques
When assets and liabilities measured at fair value are not traded in active markets and no market quotations are available, the Company determines whether to use an external valuer and decides on the appropriate fair value valuation technique based on applicable laws or judgment.
If Level 1 inputs are not available for estimating fair value, the Company or its appointed valuer refers to analyses of the financial position and operating results of the investee, recent transaction prices, quotations for similar equity instruments in inactive markets, quotations for similar instruments in active markets, and valuation multiples of comparable companies to determine the inputs. If actual future changes in inputs differ from expectations, fair value adjustments may occur.
- 31 -
The Company updates the inputs quarterly based on market conditions to monitor whether the fair value measurement is appropriate.
For a description of fair value valuation techniques and inputs, refer to Notes 7 and 27.

Accounts receivable
To mitigate credit risk, the Company's management assigns a dedicated team to determine credit limits, approve credit facilities and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions have been taken to collect overdue receivables. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of receivables on a case-by-case basis at the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been recorded for uncollectible receivables. Accordingly, the Company's management believes that the credit risk of the Company has been significantly reduced.
The Company recognizes a provision for loss on accounts receivable based on the expected credit losses over the lifetime of the receivables. The lifetime expected credit losses are calculated considering the customer's past default history, current financial condition, and the economic conditions of the industry. The Company segments its customer base based on the historical experience of credit losses and establishes expected credit loss rates based on the overdue days of notes receivable and accounts receivable for different customer groups.
If there is evidence indicating that a counterparty is experiencing significant financial difficulty and the Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount due, the related accounts receivable are directly written off, though recovery efforts continue. Any amounts recovered through such efforts are recognized in profit or loss.
The Company measures the provision for loss on accounts receivable using a provision matrix as follows:
Dec. 31, 2025
| Not past due | 1-30 days past due | 31-60 days past due | 61-90 days past due | 91-180 days past due | 181-360 days past due | Over 361 days past due | Total | |

(3) Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy
According to the Company's articles of incorporation regarding the profit distribution policy, if there is a profit for the fiscal year, after legally paying taxes and compensating for accumulated losses, 10% of the profit is allocated to the legal reserve. The remainder is allocated or reversed to the special reserve as per legal requirements. If there is still a balance, along with the accumulated undistributed earnings, the board of directors shall draft a profit distribution proposal. When distributing by issuing new shares, it shall be resolved by the shareholders' meeting; when distributing in cash, it requires a resolution passed by more than two-thirds of directors present at the board meeting and more than half of the votes of the directors attending, and to be reported at the shareholders' meeting. The employee and director compensation distribution policy stipulated in the Company's articles of incorporation is referenced in Note 21(3) on "Compensation to employees and directors".
Considering the Company's environment and growth stage, in response to future capital needs and long-term financial planning, dividends can be distributed in the form of cash dividends or stock dividends, where the ratio of cash dividends should not be less than 20% of the total dividend distribution to shareholders.
The aforementioned dividend distribution ratio can be adjusted by the shareholders' meeting based on the Company's actual profit and financial situation for the year.
The legal reserve must be allocated until its balance reaches the total amount of the Company's paid-in capital. The legal reserve can be used to offset losses. When the Company has no losses, the portion of the legal reserve exceeding 25% of the paid-in capital can be used for cash distribution besides capital increase.

Note 1: After the issuance of employee stock options, if there is a change in the Company's common shares or the Company distributes cash dividends, the exercise price of the stock options will be adjusted according to a specified formula. If the adjustment formula necessitates a re-measurement of the exercise price and if the adjusted exercise price exceeds the pre-adjustment exercise price, the exercise price will not be adjusted.
Note 2: After the issuance of employee stock options, if the Company undergoes a change in stock par value, the exercise price of the stock options will first be adjusted according to a specified formula, followed by an adjustment to the subscription ratio. However, stock options that have already been exercised will not be retroactively adjusted. In August 2021, the Company amended its articles of incorporation as resolved in the regular meeting of shareholders, changing the par value per share from NT$10 to NT$5, and completed the related conversion in October 2021. This resulted in the exercise price per share of stock options granted before October 2021 being adjusted to 50% of the original exercise price, with the number of shares each option could purchase adjusted from 1 share to 2 shares.

Market Risk
The main financial risks borne by the Company due to its operating activities include foreign currency exchange rate risk (see below (1)), interest rate risk (see below (2)), and other price risks (see below (3)).
There has been no change in the Company's exposure to market risks related to financial instruments and the ways in which it manages and measures such exposures.
(1) Exchange rate risk
The Company is involved in transactions of sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies, thereby exposing the Company to exchange rate fluctuation risks.
Refer to Note 31 for the carrying amounts of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies at the balance sheet date.
Sensitivity Analysis
The Company is primarily affected by fluctuations in the USD exchange rate.
The table below details a sensitivity analysis for the Company when the exchange rate of the functional currency (TWD) against the USD increases or decreases by 5%. The sensitivity analysis only includes monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are outstanding at year-end and adjusts their conversion at the end of the year by a 5% change in exchange rates. The positive figures in the table indicate the amount by which net income before tax would decrease when the functional currency appreciates by 5% against the USD; when the functional currency depreciates by 5% against the USD, the impact on net income before tax would be the same amount in negative.
| USD Impact | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Profit of Loss (i) | $ 349,142 | $ 417,977 |
(i) Mainly arising from the Company's USD-denominated demand deposits, time deposits, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, and other payables that are outstanding at the balance sheet date and not hedged for cash flow.
(2) Interest rate risk
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| Dec. 31, 2025 | Dec. 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fair value interest rate risk | ||
| —Financial assets | $6,932,618 | $8,310,320 |
| —Financial liabilities | 221,477 | 122,185 |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| —Financial assets | 467,575 | 120,332 |
Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk is determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. For floating rate assets and liabilities, the analysis assumes that the amounts of assets and liabilities outstanding at the balance sheet date were outstanding for the entire reporting period. An increase of 50 basis points, with all other variables held constant, would increase the Company’s net income before tax by NT$2,338 thousand and NT$602 thousand for 2025 and 2024, respectively, mainly due to the Company's floating rate deposits.
(3) Other price risk
The price risk of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss for the Company in 2024 primarily arises from equity instrument investments.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is based on equity prices at the balance sheet date.
If equity prices were to increase/decrease by 5%, the net income before tax of the Company for 2024 would increase/decrease by NT$24,697 thousand, due to the change in fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
- 58 -
- Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the maximum exposure to credit risk that could cause financial loss to the Company mainly arises from the carrying amounts of financial assets recognized on the parent company only balance sheet.
The policy adopted by the Company involves transacting with creditworthy parties and obtaining adequate collateral, where necessary, to mitigate the financial loss from defaults. The Company uses publicly available financial information and its transaction history to rate its major customers. The Company continuously monitors credit exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties, distributing the total transaction volume across customers with qualified credit ratings.
The credit risk of the Company is primarily concentrated on a few customers. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the accounts receivable balances exceeding 10% of the total are summarized as follows:
| Dec. 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Customer A | $ 75,101 |
| Customer B | 72,289 |
| Customer C | 68,426 |
| Customer D | 51,223 |
| Customer E | 41,575 |
| $ 308,614 | |
| Dec. 31, 2024 | |
| Customer A | $ 94,154 |
| Customer C | 93,748 |
| Customer E | 49,515 |
| Customer D | 48,754 |
| Customer F | 47,325 |
| $ 333,496 |
To mitigate credit risk, the management of the Company has assigned a dedicated team responsible for deciding on credit limits, approving credit, and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are taken for the recovery of overdue receivables. Moreover, at the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the recoverability of receivables to ensure that appropriate impairment losses are recognized for irrecoverable amounts. Based on this, the management of the Company believes that the credit risk has been significantly reduced.
- 59 -
- Liquidity Risk
The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure that the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its operational needs over the next 12 months. The Company achieves this by maintaining adequate levels of cash and cash equivalents to meet its contractual obligations, continuously controlling changes in cash flows, net cash positions, and significant capital expenditures, timely monitoring the usage of bank financing facilities, and ensuring compliance with loan agreement terms.
Bank borrowings are an important source of liquidity for the Company. Refer to the explanation below for the unused borrowing facilities of the Company.
(1) Liquidity and interest rate risk table
The table below details the remaining contractual maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities of the Company with agreed repayment periods, based on the earliest date the Company could be required to pay. The table is prepared using the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities, including both interest and principal cash flows.

The contract also specifies monthly purchase quantities and compensation for shortfalls if purchases do not meet contractual amounts. Considering the current trading pattern and actual dealings with the suppliers, the Company assesses that there is no significant likelihood of compensation being required, and the aforementioned amount was fully recovered in January 2025, therefore these contracts do not have a significant impact on the financial and operational aspects.
