INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Applied BioCode Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Applied BioCode Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
Existence and occurrence of cash and cash equivalents
Description
Please refer to Note 4(6) for accounting policies applied to cash and cash equivalents, and Note 6(1) for details of account items. As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents amounted to NT$464,786 thousand, constituting 46% of the total consolidated assets. As cash and cash equivalents constitute a significant portion of total consolidated assets and inherent risk exists, we considered the existence and occurrence of cash and cash equivalents a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
- Confirmed bank accounts and special arrangements with financial institutions to verify the existence and rights and obligations of the bank deposits;
- Verified the authenticity of the necessary information for the bank confirmations;
- Reviewed and tested the mathematical accuracy of bank reconciliation statements, agreed the balances with the balances per cash book and per bank balance, identified any unusual or significant items and ensured that these were properly disposed of.
- Selected samples of significant cash receipt and payment transactions to ascertain whether the transactions were incurred for operational needs.
Existence of sales revenues
Description
Please refer to Note 4(22) for accounting policies on revenue recognition, and Note 6(16) for details of sales revenue.
The primary business of Applied BioCode Group is the sales of Barcoded Magnetic Beads, Reagents and Optical Analyzers for multiplex in-vitro diagnostics to third party testing laboratories and medical institutions. The transaction terms vary depending on market conditions and customers' needs. As sales revenue are the main transactions of the Group and are material to the financial statements, the existence of sales revenue has been identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
- Inspected whether approved additions to the merchandise master file data had been correctly entered in the merchandise master file which include basic information of customers for evaluating the creditworthiness of buyers.
- Evaluated and tested management's controls in respect of the Group's sales transactions and the execution of actual processes.
- Performed substantive test on selected sales transactions including confirming orders, shipping documents, invoices and cash receipts to verify the existence of sales revenues.
~4~
- Checked the related industry background information in respect of the newly top 10 significant customers and obtained and selected samples to verify related vouchers of sales revenue in order to check the accuracy of revenue recognition.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
~5~
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
~6~
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
~7~
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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.

| 2027Amendments to IAS 21, ‘Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency’ | January 1, 2027 |
Note : The FSC has announced in a press release on September 25, 2025 that public companies will apply IFRS 18 starting from the fiscal year 2028. Additionally, entities can choose to adopt IFRS 18 earlier based on their requirements after the FSC endorses IFRS 18.
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group's financial condition and financial performance based on the Group's assessment. IFRS 18, 'Presentation and disclosure in financial statements' replaces IAS 1. The standard introduces a defined structure of the statement of profit or loss, disclosure requirements related to management-defined performance measures, and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes.
- Summary of Material Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC® Interpretations, and SIC® Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the "IFRSs").
(2) Basis of preparation
A. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
(a) The Group's financial statements are initially presented in USD. When converting the consolidated financial statements into New Taiwan Dollars, all assets and liabilities are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rate of the balance sheet; except for the balance accrued at the end of the period, the balance of the equity in the equity account is carried forward, and the rest is based on historical exchange rates. Profit and loss accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate, and the difference arising from the conversion is included in the "cumulative translation adjustment" as an adjustment item for equity.
(b) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
(c) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(d) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to
~16~
the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
(e) Changes in the Company's shares in subsidiaries do not result in loss in control (transactions with non-controlling interest), transactions shall be considered as equity transactions, which are transactions between owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
(f) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.
B. Subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements:
| Name of investor | Name of the subsidiary | Main business activities | Ownership (%) | Ownership (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||
| Applied BioCode Corporation | Applied BioCode, Inc. | Barcoded Magnetic Beads of multiplex in-vitro diagnostics, platform technology of assays and instruments and research and development, production, sales and leasing. | 100% | 100% |
| Applied BioCode, Inc. | Applied BioCode Taiwan Ltd. | Barcoded Magnetic Beads of multiplex in-vitro diagnostics, platform technology of assays and instruments and research and development, production and sales of products. | 100% | 100% |
C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.
E. Significant restrictions: None.
F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.
(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Company's functional and the Group's presentation currency. However, the consolidated financial statements are
presented in NTD under the future financing plan and the regulations of the country where the consolidated financial statements are reported to the regulatory authorities.
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
(d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within 'other gains and losses'.
B. Translation of foreign operations
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
i. Assets and liabilities presented in each balance sheet are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
~18~
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
(a) Assets that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;
(b) Assets that are held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period;
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
(b) Liabilities that are held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) Liabilities that are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
(d) It does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability at least twelve months after the reporting period.
(6) Financial assets at amortised cost
A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
D. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(7) Accounts receivable
A. Accounts receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
B. The short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
~19~
(8) Impairment of financial assets
For financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component, lease receivables, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(9) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
(10) Leasing arrangements (lessor)—operating leases
Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(11) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(12) Property, plant and equipment
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost.
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
C. Property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
~20~
D. The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets' residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets' future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| Test equipment | 5 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 5 years |
| Rental assets | 5 years |
| Office equipment | 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 6 years |
(13) Leasing arrangements (lessee)—right-of-use assets / lease liabilities
A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate.
Lease payments are comprised of the following:
(a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; and
(b) Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:
(a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
(b) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
(c) An estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset's useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
~21~
(14) Intangible assets
A. Computer software
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 5 years.
B. Patents and patented technologies
Patents acquired by issuing new shares to exchange is recognised based on the fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value is stated based on the appraisal report and is amortized on a straight-line basis over patent’s estimated useful of 15 to 17 years.
Other patents are stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its duration of 6 to 9 years.
(15) Impairment of non-financial assets
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use.
B. The recoverable amounts of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that have not yet been available for use are evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
(16) Accounts payable
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and accounts payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
B. The short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(17) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
(18) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
For the defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
~22~
C. Employees' compensation and directors' remuneration
Employees' compensation and directors' remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.
(19) Employee share-based payment
A. For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
B. Restricted stocks
(a) Restricted stocks issued to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period.
(b) For restricted stocks where those stocks do not restrict distribution of dividends to employees and employees are not required to return the dividends received if they resign during the vesting period, the Group recognises the fair value of the dividends received by the employees who are expected to resign during the vesting period as compensation cost at the date of dividends declared.
(c) For restricted stocks where employees do not need to pay to acquire those stocks, if the Group will pay the employees who resign during the vesting period to repurchase the stocks, the Group estimates such payments that will be made and recognises such amounts as compensation cost and liability at the grant date, in accordance with the terms of restricted stocks.
(20) Income taxes
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns
~23~
with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax of Taiwan subsidiary is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
(21) Share capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(22) Revenue recognition
A. Sales revenue
(a) The Group manufactures and sells test reagents and medical instruments. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable from the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group's operating activities after netting the business tax, returns, rebates and discounts. Sales are recognised when control of the
~24~
products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the buyer, the buyer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the buyer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the buyer, and either the buyer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
(b) If the payment (or payable) exceeds the services or goods delivered, a contract liability is recognised.
B. Revenue from licencing intellectual property
The Group entered into contracts with customers to grant licences of patents to the customers. Given the licences are distinct from other promised goods or services in the contract, the Group recognises the revenue from licencing based on the nature of the licences granted. The nature of the Group’s promise in granting licences is a promise to provide a right to access the Group’s intellectual property if the Group undertakes activities that significantly affect the patents to which the customer has rights, the customer is affected by the Group’s activities and those activities do not result in the transfer of a good or a service to the customer as they occur. The royalties are recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the licencing period. In case the abovementioned conditions are not met, the nature of the Group’s promise in granting a licence is a promise to provide a right to use the Group’s intellectual property and therefore, the revenue is recognised when transferring the licence to a customer at a point in time.
C. Rental revenue
The Group entered into the reagent purchase agreements with clients and provides the medical devices for the customers to use through operating leases. Lease income from operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
D. Other operating revenue
Other operating revenue from the sale of consumables is recognised when the Group sells a product to the customer. Payment of the transaction price is due when the customer purchases the product.
(23) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Group’s chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.

- Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The related information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies
Whether performance obligations are distinguishable
The Group assesses the promised goods and services to the customers in the technology licensing and goods supply contracts in accordance with the regulation in paragraph 27 of IFRS 15 to identify which goods and services are distinguishable. The Group determines that the customers could not independently benefit from the technology licensing without obtaining the raw material goods provided by the Group. The terms in paragraph 27 of IFRS 15 are not met. Therefore, the technology licensing and the sales of raw material goods are not distinguishable. The Group accounts for the technology licensing and the sales of raw material goods as a single performance obligation.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
A. Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.
B. Revenue recognition from technology licensing and goods supply contracts
The Group's revenue from technology licensing and goods supply contracts is the contract payments received in advance from customers for contracts of licensing for technology transfer and supplying inventory goods at discounted prices for the next ten years and shown as contract liabilities. The contract liabilities will be transferred to the sales revenue subsequently when the performance obligation has been satisfied according to the proportion of the actual quantity of inventory goods purchased by the customer each year relative to the total expected quantity. At the balance sheet date, according to the budgeted purchase volume and estimated market growth rate for the next year provided by the customer, the Group reviews the reasonableness of the estimates periodically and adjusts it if there are significant differences.
~26~
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the customer increased the safety stock preparation due to geopolitical considerations, which led to the changes in the estimated total annual purchased quantity of inventory goods in the future. As a result, the changes in the Group's accounting estimates occurred. Details regarding revenue recognition from technology licensing and goods supply contracts are provided in Note 6(16). As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of contract liabilities was $243,978.
The changes in estimates resulted in an increase in contract liabilities by $50,963 and a decrease in sales revenue by $50,487 for the year, leading to an increase in loss per share by $0.35.
