Independent Auditors' Report
To Aurora Corporation:
Opinions
Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries' Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, in addition to the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021, have been audited by the CPAs.
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements mentioned above have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IAS), law and regulation reviews and their announcements recognized and announced by the Financial Supervisory Commission in all material aspects, and are considered to have reasonably expressed the consolidated financial conditions of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, as well as the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. 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 Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China ("The Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Consolidated Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:
Sales revenue
The main businesses of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries include the trade and lease of Multi-Functional Photocopiers (MFPs) and sales of system furniture. Printers and income from sales of system furniture in Taiwan and in Shanghai, in particular, are material in nature for the overall financial statements.
The main risk lies in whether revenue actually occurs. Accordingly, we identify the risk of revenue recognition arising from fraud as a key audit matter in accordance with the Statements on Auditing Standards in relation to significant risk.
4
For the accounting policies related to revenue recognition, please refer to Note IV (XIV). We understood and tested the effectiveness of the design and implementation of internal controls in the recognition of sales revenue. We have also selected appropriate samples from the sales details, reviewed the original contracts, documents and customs declaration forms from external forwarders or signed by customers to check whether the recipients are the trading parties, and reviewed whether there is a significant amount of return and allowance subsequent to the balance sheet date to confirm whether there is any material misstatement of sales revenue.
Other Matters
We have also audited the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
To ensure that the Consolidated Financial Statements do not contain material misstatements caused by fraud or errors, the management is responsible for preparing prudent Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, as well as the IFRS, IAS, law and regulation reviews and their announcements recognized and announced by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for preparing and maintaining necessary internal control procedures pertaining to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the management is responsible for assessing Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries' ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to the going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries' financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, 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 and audit conducted in accordance with the accounting principles in 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the accounting principles in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism. We also:
- Identify and evaluate the risk of material misstatements due to fraud or error in the Consolidated Financial Statements; design and carry out appropriate countermeasures for the evaluated risk; and obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for thour audit 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.
5
-
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 effectiveness of the internal controls of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries.
-
Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management, as well as the reasonableness of their accounting estimates and relevant disclosures.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries' ability to operate 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 Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall expression, structure and contents of the Consolidated Financial Statements (including relevant Notes), and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements fairly present relevant transactions and items.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit and for expressing an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries.
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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine the key audit matters of Aurora Corporation and its subsidiaries' Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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.

Amendment to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a
Single Transaction”
The amendment clarifies that transactions of the same value generated and subject to taxation and for which temporary differences may be eliminated when initially recognized are not applicable under the waiver requirement initially recognized in IAS 12. The Group would recognize deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities of all temporary differences relevant to leases that may be eliminated and are subject to taxation on January 1, 2022 and adjust the cumulative effects to be recognized as initial balance of retained earnings on that date. Transactions other than leases, on the other hand, would be deferred in applying the said amendment on January 1, 2022 onwards. The comparison period information shall be edited again upon initial application of the said amendment by the Group.
The impact in 2022 upon initial application of the said amendment are expected to be as follows:

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- a. Compliance declaration
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.
- b. Preparation basis
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the present value of defined benefit obligations less fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurement is classified into three levels based on the observability and importance of related input:
-
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the measurement date.
-
2) 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. deduced from prices).
-
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
-
c. Standards for assets and liabilities classified as current and non-current
-
Current assets include:
-
1) Assets held primarily for trading purposes;
-
2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
-
3) Cash or cash equivalents (excluding assets restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date).
Current liabilities include:
16
-
1) Liabilities held primarily for trading purposes;
-
2) Liabilities with settlement within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
-
3) Liabilities with a repayment schedule that cannot be unconditionally deferred till at least 12 months after the publication of the balance sheet.
All other assets or liabilities that are not specified above are classified as non-current.
- d. Basis of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (i.e., subsidiaries). The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income include the operating income/loss of the acquired or disposed subsidiaries from the date of acquisition to the date of disposal in the current period. The financial statements of the subsidiaries have been adjusted to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by the Group. All intergroup transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. A subsidiary's total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests, even if non-controlling interests become having deficit balances in the process.
Please refer to Notes XII and XXXVI (Tables 6 and 7) for details, shareholding ratio, and business activities of subsidiaries.
- e. Foreign currencies
In the preparation of each individual financial statements, transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currency) are translated into the entity's functional currency by using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction before they are recorded by each entity.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. The resulting exchange difference is recognized in profit or loss. For items whose changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income, the resulting exchange difference is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates and are not re-translated.
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations (including subsidiaries that operate in a country or currency different from the Company) are translated into the New Taiwan dollar at the closing rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at the average rate of the year. The exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income (and are attributable to owners of the Company and non-controlling interests respectively).
On the disposal of the entire interest in the foreign operation, or when the retained interests upon the disposal of foreign operation's joint venture are financial assets and accounted for using the accounting policies for financial instruments, all of the accumulated exchange differences attributable to owners of the Company and associated with the foreign operation are reclassified to profit or loss.
- f. Inventories
17
Inventories comprise office automation products, office supplies, computer equipment, system furniture, raw materials, and work in process. Inventory costs are calculated using the weighted average method. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The comparison between costs and net realizable values is based on individual items except for the same type of inventory. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
- g. Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence other than a subsidiary or a joint venture.
The Group accounts for investments in associates by using the equity method.
Under the equity method, investments are initially treated at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Group's interest in profit or loss, share in other comprehensive income, and profits of associates. In addition, equity changes in associates are recognized based on the shareholding ratio.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, and liabilities of associates recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included in the carrying amount of the investment and may not be amortized. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognized as profit or loss in the current year.
When associates issue new shares and the Group does not subscribe to such shares to the extent that its original shareholding ratio can be changed, the difference is recorded as an adjustment to capital surplus - changes in the net value of shares in associates accounted for using the equity method and other investments accounted for using the equity method. If the amount of ownership interests in associates is not subscribed for or obtained in proportion to the shareholding ratio, the amount of the related assets or liabilities shall be recognized in other comprehensive income. The basis of the accounting treatment is the same as that of the associates. The difference in the balance of the capital reserve accounted for using the equity method shall be recognized in retained earnings.
To assess impairment, the Group has to consider the overall carrying amount (including goodwill) of the investment as a single asset to compare the recoverable and carrying amounts. The cost of impairment identified is to be deemed as part of the carrying amount of the investment. Reversal of the impairment loss is recognized to the extent of subsequent increases in the recoverable amount of investment.
Profits and losses in upstream, downstream and side-stream transactions between the Group and associates and between the Group are recognized in the consolidated financial statements only when the profits and losses are irrelevant to the Group's interests in the associates.
- h. Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment shall be recognized at cost and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Each significant part of property, plant, and equipment is separately depreciated over its useful life on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
18
When property, plant, and equipment is derecognized, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset shall be recognized in profit or loss.
- i. Investment property
Investment property is real estate held for rent or capital appreciation or both.
Investment property owned by the Group is measured initially at cost (including transaction costs) and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis.
- j. Goodwill
The value of goodwill received through business combinations has to be shown as the amount of goodwill recognized on the acquisition date and subsequently evaluated as cost less accumulated impairment loss.
To evaluate impairment, goodwill is distributed among various cash-generating units or cash-generating unit groups ("cash-generating units") which the Group expects to benefit by business combinations.
The cash-generating units that are allocated goodwill will compare the unit's carrying amount and its recoverable amount including goodwill every year (and whenever there are signs of impairment) to evaluate the impairment of the unit. If the goodwill is obtained by the cash-generating units through a business combination in the current year, an impairment test is to be conducted prior to the end of the current year. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating units and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Impairment loss is considered as loss in the current year. The impairment loss of goodwill shall not be reversed in subsequent periods.
-
k. Intangible assets
-
1) Separate acquisition
Intangible assets with a limited useful life will be evaluated initially at cost and subsequently at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets will be amortized using the straight-line method within the useful life. The Group will review the estimated useful life, residual value, and depreciation methods at the end of each year at least once a year to deduce the effect of the changes in accounting estimates.
- 2) Derecognition
When intangible assets are derecognized, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset shall be recognized in profit or loss of the current year.
- l. Impairment of property, plant, and equipment as well as right-of-use assets, investment property, and intangible assets (excluding goodwill)
On each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant, and equipment as well as right-of-use assets, investment property and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The recoverable amount is the fair value minus cost of sales or its value in use, whichever is higher. If the recoverable amount of individual asset or the cash-generating unit is lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or the cash-generating unit shall
19
be reduced to the recoverable amount and the impairment loss shall be recognized in profit or loss.
When the impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or the cash-generating unit will be reduced to the extent of recoverable amount prior to revision, provided the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount (minus amortization or depreciation) of the asset or of the cash-generating unit not declared as impairment loss in the previous years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- m. Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities will be recognized in the consolidated balance sheets when the Group becomes a party to the contract of the financial instrument.
When showing the original financial assets and liabilities, if their fair value was not assessed based on profit or loss, it is the fair value plus the cost of transaction, that is, of its acquisition or issuance of the financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- 1) Financial assets
Regular trading of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized in accordance with trade date accounting.
- a) Types of measurement
Financial assets held by the Group are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include equity instrument investments not designated by the Group to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and debt instrument investments not subject to classification as measured at amortized cost or to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value; any re-measurement profit or loss (including any dividends or interests derived from such financial assets) is recognized in profit or loss. Please refer to Note XXX for the methods for determining fair values.
- ii. Financial assets at amortized cost
When the Group's investments in financial assets satisfy the following two conditions simultaneously, they are classified as financial assets at amortized cost:
-
i) Financial assets are under a business model whose purpose is to hold financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows; and
-
ii) The terms of the contract generate a cash flow on a specified date that is solely for the payment of interest on the principal and the amount of principal outstanding.
After initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount
20
determined by the effective rate method less any impairment loss. Any foreign exchange gains or losses, on the other hand, are recognized under gains or losses.
Except for the following two circumstances, interest income is calculated at the value of effective interest rate times the gross carrying amount of financial assets:
-
i) For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate times the amortized cost of the financial assets.
-
ii) For financial assets that are not acquired or originated credit-impaired but subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate times the amortized cost balance of such financial assets from the next reporting period after the impairment.
Cash equivalents include time deposits within three months from the acquisition date and with high liquidity and relatively low price changes convertible to cash any time. They are used for meeting short-term cash commitments.
- iii. Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
The Group may, at initial recognition, make an irrevocable decision to designate an equity instrument that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration arising from a business combination to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value, and any subsequent fair value changes are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative profit or loss is directly transferred to retained earnings and not reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividends of investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive payment is confirmed unless such dividends clearly represent the recovery of a part of the investment cost.
b) Impairment of financial assets
The impairment loss of financial assets at amortized cost is measured by the Group on the balance sheet date based on the expected credit losses.
Allowances shall be appropriated for accounts receivable for expected credit losses for the duration of their existence. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition.
The expected credit loss is the weighted average credit loss determined by the risk of default. The 12-month expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses arising from the possible default of the financial instrument in the 12 months after the balance sheet date, and the expected credit losses during the lifetime represent the expected credit losses arising from all possible defaults of the financial instrument during the expected existence period.
21
For the purpose of internal credit risk management, under the premise that the collateral held is not under consideration, the Group determines that there is internal or external information indicating that the debtor cannot settle the debt, which represents that the financial assets have breached the contract.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is reduced based on the allowance account.
- c) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes the financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flow from the said financial assets expire or when the Group transfers almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets to other enterprises.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss. Through the full derecognition of the investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative profit or loss is directly transferred to retained earnings and not reclassified to profit or loss.
-
2) Financial liabilities
-
a) Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are assessed at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
- b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
When financial liabilities are derecognized, the difference between their carrying amount and the paid consideration (including any transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) shall be recognized in profit or loss.
- n. Revenue recognition
After the Group identifies its performance obligations in contracts with customers, it shall amortize the transaction costs to each obligation in the contract and recognize revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations.
- 1) Sales revenue of commodities
Sales revenue of commodities comes from the sale of Multi-Functional Photocopiers (MFPs) and fax machines. When MFPs and fax machines are shipped to the locations designated by the customers, the customers have already obtained the rights to establish the price and usage of the commodities and are primarily liable for the resale of the commodities. The customers shall undertake the related obsolescence risk and the Group will recognize revenue and accounts receivable at that time. The expected payments to be collected from the sale of commodities are recognized as contract liabilities before customers use the said amusement tickets.
- 2) Service revenue
Service revenue is derived from the maintenance services of the equipment. Relevant revenue is recognized when services are rendered.
- o. Leases
The Group assesses whether the contract is (or includes) a lease on the date of its establishment.
- 1) Where the Group is a lessor:
22
Under operating leases, lease payments after deducting lease incentives are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease term. The initial direct costs arising from acquisition of operating leases is added to the carrying amount of the underlying assets; and an expense is recognized for the lease on a straight line basis over the lease term.
2) Where the Group is a lessee:
Except that the lease payments of the low value subject-matter assets and short-term leases applicable to recognition exemption are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis during the lease period, other leases are recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the lease commencement date.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost (including the original measured amount of the lease liability, the lease payment paid before the lease commencement date minus the lease incentive received, the original direct cost and the estimated cost of the recovery target asset), and subsequently measured at cost minus the accumulated depreciation and the accumulated impairment loss and adjusted for the remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets are separately expressed in the consolidated balance sheets.
The right-of-use assets shall be depreciated on a straight-line basis from lease commencement date to the end of the useful life or the end of the lease term.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments (including fixed payments; in-substance fixed payments; variable lease payments that are determined by an index or a rate; amounts expected to be paid by the lessee under residual value guarantees; the exercise price of a purchase option when it is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and penalties for terminating the lease reflected in the lease term; less any lease incentives receivable). If the implicit interest rate of lease is easy to determine, the interest rate is used to discount the lease payment. If the interest rate is not easy to determine, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate shall be used.
Subsequently, the lease liability is measured on the basis of amortized cost using the effective interest method, and the interest expense is apportioned during the lease period. If the assessments on lease terms, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees and purchase option of the underlying assets; or changes in the index or rate which determines the lease payments result in changes in future lease payments, the Group would remeasure the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment on the right-of-use assets. However, if the carrying amount of right-of-use assets has been reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. With regard to changes in leases that are not considered separate leases, the remeasurement of lease liabilities as a result of the decrease in the scope of the lease refers to the reduction in right-of-use assets, with the recognition of the gains or losses on partial or complete termination of the lease. The remeasurement of lease liabilities as a result of other amendments refers to the adjustment in right-of-use assets. Lease liabilities are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets.
- p. Benefits after retirement
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
The costs of defined benefits under the defined benefit pension plan (including service cost, net interest, and the remeasurement amount) are calculated based on the projected unit credit method. The cost of services (including the cost of services of the current and previous periods) and the net interest of the net defined benefit liabilities are recognized as
23
employee benefit expenses. The remeasurement amount (including actuarial gains and losses (assets) and the return on plan assets after deducting interest) is recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in retained earnings when it occurs or when the plan is revised or reduced. It shall not be reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Net defined benefit liabilities are the deficit of the contribution made according to the defined benefit pension plan.
- q. Income Tax
Income tax expenses are the sum of the tax in the current year and deferred income tax.
- 1) Income tax in the current year
The current income tax payable is calculated based on the taxable income in the current year. A portion of the income and expenses is taxable or deductible in other periods or is not taxable or deductible under the relevant tax laws. Therefore, the taxable income differs from the net income reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Group's current income tax liabilities are based on the statutory tax rate on the balance sheet date.
The Group determines the income (loss) of the current year in accordance with the laws and regulations in each income tax declaration jurisdiction, and calculates the income tax payable (recoverable) accordingly.
A tax is levied on the unappropriated earnings pursuant to the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China and is recorded as an income tax expense in the year when the shareholders' meeting resolves to appropriate the earnings.
Adjustments to prior year income taxes are shown in the taxes of the current year.
- 2) Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is calculated based on the temporary difference between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities and the taxable basis of the taxable income. Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred income tax assets are recognized when there are likely taxable income for the deducting temporary differences.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. For deductible temporary differences associated with such investment and equity, when it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to realize such temporary difference, a deferred tax asset is recognized, but only to the extent of the amount that is expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of the deferred income tax assets is re-examined at each balance sheet date and the carrying amount is reduced for assets that are no longer likely to generate sufficient taxable income to recover all or part of the assets.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate of the period of expected repayment of liabilities or realization of assets. The rate is based on the tax rate and tax laws that have been enacted prior to the balance sheet date or have been substantially legislated. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

3) Current and deferred income taxes
Current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss except for those related to items recognized in other comprehensive income that shall be recognized in other comprehensive income.
5. Primary Sources of Uncertainties in Material Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions
When the Group adopts accounting policies, the management must make judgments, estimates, and assumptions based on historical experience and other critical factors for related information that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Group has taken into consideration the recent development of the COVID-19 outbreak in Taiwan and its possible impact on the economic environment, and the management will constantly review its estimates and basic assumptions as part of its consideration of cash flow projections, growth rates, discount rates, profitability and other related significant accounting estimates. If an amendment of estimates only affects the current period, it shall be recognized in the period of amendment; if an amendment of accounting estimates affects the current year and future periods, it shall be recognized in the period of amendment and future periods.
After reviewing the accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions adopted by the Group, the management found no material uncertainties.

Accounts receivable
The Group's credit period for commodity sales averages 60~90 days. To minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for taking other monitoring measures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual receivable on the balance sheet date to ensure that adequate allowances are made for possible irrecoverable amounts. As such, the Group's management concludes that the credit risk has been significantly reduced.
The Group adopts the simplified approach as stipulated in IFRS 9 and recognizes loss allowances for accounts receivables based on the lifetime expected credit losses. The lifetime expected credit losses are calculated based on a provision matrix that takes into account the default history and current financial position of customers, as well as the GDP forecast. Due to the historical experience of credit losses of the Group, there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups. Therefore, the provision matrix does not further distinguish the customer base, and only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the overdue days of accounts receivable.
The Group writes off accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is experiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery of the receivables. For accounts receivable that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, they are recognized in profit or loss.
Loss allowances for accounts receivable based on the provision matrix are as follows:

22. Post-retirement Benefit Plan
a. Defined contribution plans
The Company and Aurora Office Automation, General Integration, KM Developing, and Ever Young Biodimension adopt a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act, which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. According to the Labor Pension Act, the Group makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of their monthly salaries.
Aurora (Bermuda), and Aurora Machinery Equipment did not draw up a retirement policy. Aurora (Bermuda)'s subsidiaries, including Aurora (China) Investment, Aurora Office Equipment, Aurora (China), Aurora (Jiang Su), Aurora Office Automation Sales Co., Ltd., Aurora Cloud, Aurora Home Furniture Co., Ltd., and Aurora (Shanghai) Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd. have drawn up the retirement policies in accordance with the regulations of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, which also fell into the defined contribution plans; that is, a certain percentage of the employees’ basic wages would be contributed to the pension fund and deposited into the designated pension fund accounts. The above companies contributed a certain percentage of employees' basic wages to the pension fund.
b. Defined benefit plans
The pension system adopted by the Company, Aurora Office Automation, and General Integration under the "Labor Standards Act" is a state-managed defined benefit plan. The payment of the employee's pension is based on the period of service and the average salary of 6 months before the approved retirement date. The Company, Aurora Office Automation,
45
and General Integration allocate 2%, 10%, and 2% of employees' monthly salaries respectively to the Supervisory Committee of Labor Retirement Reserve's dedicated account in the Bank of Taiwan as pension reserve funds. The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor administers the account. The Company, Aurora Office Automation, and General Integration have no right over its investment and administration strategies.

The Group has the following risks owing to the implementation of the pension system under the Labor Standards Act:
-
1) Investment risks: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor invests the labor pension fund in equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits in domestic (foreign) banks through independent implementation and commissioned operations. However, the distributed amount from the plan assets received by the Group shall not be lower than interest on a two-year time deposit at a local bank.
-
2) Interest rate risk: The decrease in the interest rate of government bonds/corporate bonds will increase the present value of defined benefit obligations, but the yield on debt investment of plan assets will also increase accordingly, which will partially offset the impact on net defined benefit liabilities.
-
3) Salary risk: The present value of defined benefit obligations is calculated with reference to future salaries of plan members. Therefore, the salary increase of plan members will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The present value of the Group's defined benefit obligations is calculated by certified actuaries and the major assumptions on the assessment date are as follows:
| Discount rate Average long-term salary adjustment rate |
December 31,2022 1.375% 2%~2.25% |
December 31,2021 |
|---|---|---|
| 0.625% 2% |
47
If changes occur in major actuarial assumptions with other assumptions unchanged, the present value of defined benefit obligations will increase (decrease) as follows:
| Discount rate Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% Expected salary increase rate Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% |
December 31,2022 ($ 11,119) $ 11,488 $ 11,186 ($ 10,883) |

$ 13,041) $ 13,503 $ 13,083 $ 12,702) |
As actuarial assumptions may be related to one another, the likelihood of fluctuation in a single assumption is not high. Therefore, the aforementioned sensitivity analysis may not reflect the actual fluctuations of the present value of defined benefit obligations.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy
If the Company has a net profit for the current year, it shall first use the profit to pay income taxes and make up for any accumulated losses, and then set aside 10% as a legal reserve. Any excessive balance may be reserved or transferred to be a special reserve pursuant to relevant laws. Any remaining balance in retained earnings may be appropriated for dividends in accordance with a proposal for appropriation of earnings as approved by the Board of Directors and submit it to the shareholders' meeting for distribution of
49
shareholder dividends. Please refer to Note XXV (VI) for the employee compensation policy.
Legal reserve should be contributed until its balance reaches the Company’s total paid-in capital stock. Legal reserve may be used to cover deficits. When the Company has no loss, the portion of the legal reserve exceeding 25% of the total paid-in capital may be appropriated in the form of cash, in addition to being transferred to share capital.
The Company appropriates or reserves special reserve in accordance with the Official Letter No. 1090150022 issued by the FSC and the directive titled "Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated or reversal Following Adoption of IFRSs."
As the industry into which the Company falls is currently in a stage of steady growth, demand for capital has lowered. In the future, operating results will be returned to shareholders as many as possible. In consideration of business development, financial conditions, capital expansion, and shareholders' equity, the Company will distribute dividends in a combination of stock and cash, where cash dividends will account for more than 10% of the dividends distributed for the year.
The shareholders' meetings which approved the distribution of earnings for years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019 were held on June 9, 2022 and July 15, 2021, respectively; the distributions of earnings are as follows:
| Legal reserve Cash dividends |

| $ 5.70 |
In addition, the 2022 and 2021 Annual Shareholders' Meeting approved the distribution of cash dividends (NT$0.8 and NT$0.3 per share) from capital surplus - stock issuance premium of NT$188,962 thousand and NT$70,860 thousand, respectively.
On March 13, 2023, the Board of Directors proposed the distribution of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022 as follows:
| year ended December 31, 2022 as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Legal reserve Cash dividends |
Distribution of Earnings $ 131,404 1,110,152 |
Dividends Per Share(NT$) |
| $ 4.70 |
The distribution of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022 is subject to the resolution in the shareholders' meeting on June 19, 2023.
- d. Special reserve arising from first-time application of IFRSs
| Special reserve | December 31,2022 $ 331,624 |
December 31,2021 | December 31,2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ 331,624 |
50
The amount recorded as cumulative translation adjustments transferred to retained earnings was NT$452,517 thousand. As the increase in retained earnings arising from first-time application of IFRSs was insufficient, special reserve was only set aside for the increase in retained earnings arising from application, NT$331,624 thousand.
Where relevant assets are subsequently used, disposed of or reclassified, the original proportion of special reserve may be reversed for the distribution of earnings. Special reserve that should be set aside upon first-time application of IFRSs may be used to make up losses in subsequent years. Special reserve should be set aside for the deficit until there is a profit in subsequent years and the reasons for the provision of special reserve are resolved.

For the lifetime expected credit losses, taking into account the customers' past default history and current financial position, there were no past due contract assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the Group assessed that no provision for expected credit losses is required.
The amounts of contract liabilities at the beginning of the period and previously fulfilled that were recognized in revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were NT$246,624 thousand and NT$447,869 thousand, respectively.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The main financial instruments of the Group include equity investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, loans, and lease liabilities. The financial management department of the Group provides services to the business units, including coordinating operations in the domestic and international financial markets and managing financial risks relating to the operations of the Group based on the degree and breadth of risk. Such risks include market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.
- 1) Market risk
The main financial risks the Group is exposed to in the business activities are foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk.
Market risk in relation to the Group's financial instruments and its management and measurement approaches remain unchanged.
- a) Foreign exchange risk
For the monetary assets and liabilities of the Group denominated in non-functional currencies on the balance sheet date (including those written off in the consolidated financial), please refer to Note XXXV.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group is mainly impacted by the exchange rate fluctuations in USD.
61
The sensitivity analysis below indicates the amount of decrease/increase in net income before tax arising from foreign exchange losses/gains on net monetary assets and liabilities when the New Taiwan dollar (functional currency) against each foreign currency appreciated by 3% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. When the New Taiwan dollar depreciated, its impact on net income before tax was the reverse equivalent amount. A sensitivity rate of 3% is used internally when foreign exchange risk is reported to the management. It also represents the management's assessment on the reasonably possible scope of foreign exchange rates.
| foreign exchange rates. | ||
|---|---|---|
| Profit or loss | Impact of USD | |
| 2022 ( $ 109 ) |
2021 | |
| $ 2,774 |
The impact of profit or loss was mainly attributable to the demand deposits, accounts payable, and loans for material purchasing denominated in USD that were still outstanding and not hedged in cash flows on the balance sheet date. The Group's sensitivity to the exchange rate of USD decrease in the current period due to the increased decrease in the net asset denominated in USD held by the Group.
b) Interest rate risk
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group exposed to interest rate risk on the balance sheet date are as follows:
Fair value interest rate risk - Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk - Financial assets - Financial liabilities |
December 31,2022 $ 687,112 6,499,160 2,552,734 |
December 31,2021 |
|---|---|---|
| $ 569,867 7,019,937 1,130,000 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below is prepared based on the risk exposure of non-derivative instruments to the interest rates at balance sheet date. The rate of change adopted is 25 basis points increase/decrease in the interest rate, which also represents the management's assessment on the reasonably possible scope of the interest rate.
If the interest rate increased or decreased by 25 basis points, the Group's net income before tax in 2022 and 2021 would have decreased or increased by NT$9,866 thousand and NT$14,725 thousand, respectively, with all other variables remaining constant. This is mainly attributable to the exposure to the risks of interest rates of the Group's deposits, financial assets at amortized cost, other financial assets, and long-term loans.
62
c) Other price risk
The Group is exposed to equity price risk through its investments in monetary funds.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below is carried out based on the exposure to equity price risk on the balance sheet date.
If the monetary fund price increased/decreased by 5%, income before tax in 2022 and 2021 would have increased/decreased by NT$3,198 thousand and NT$3,833 thousand, respectively, due to a change in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
- 2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to risk that causes the financial loss of the Group due to a counterparty's delay in performing contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the Group's largest credit risk exposure from a counterparty's failure to fulfill obligations came from the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Group uses publicly obtainable financial information and past transaction records to grade main customers while monitoring its credit risk exposure and credit ratings of the counterparties.
The Group’s credit risk is concentrated on the top 10 customers, accounting for 29% and 34% of the total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
- 3) Liquidity risk
The Group supports the operations and reduces the impact of fluctuating cash flows by managing and maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents. The management of the Group supervises the use of the credit line and ensures compliance with the terms of the loan contracts.
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to repay.
