Independent Auditors' Report
To Aurora Corporation:
Opinions
Aurora Corporation's Parent Company Only Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, in addition to the Parent Company Only Statements of Comprehensive Income, Parent Company Only Statements of Changes in Equity, Parent Company Only Statements of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023, have been audited by the CPAs.
In our opinion, the Parent Company Only Financial Statements mentioned above have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers in all material aspects, and are considered to have fairly expressed the parent company only financial conditions of Aurora Corporation as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, as well as the parent company only financial performance and parent company only cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023.
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 Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Aurora Corporation 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 Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2024 are stated as follows:
Sales revenue and sales revenue of key subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method.
The main businesses of Aurora Corporation and its key subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method include the trade and lease of Multi-Functional Photocopiers (MFPs) and sales of system furniture. Printers and revenue from sales of system furniture in Taiwan, 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.
For the accounting policies related to revenue recognition, please refer to Note IV (XIV).
3
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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
To ensure that the Parent Company Only Financial Statements do not contain material misstatements caused by fraud or errors, the management is responsible for preparing prudent Parent Company Only Financial Statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for preparing and maintaining necessary internal control procedures pertaining to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
In preparing the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, the management is responsible for assessing Aurora Corporation's 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 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's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Parent Company Only 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 an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted 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 perform the following tasks:
-
Identify and evaluate the risk of material misstatements due to fraud or error in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; design and carry out appropriate countermeasures for the evaluated risk; and obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for our 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.
-
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.
-
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
4
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Aurora Corporation's 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 Parent Company Only Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause Aurora Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall expression, structure and contents of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements (including relevant Notes), and whether the Parent Company Only 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 to express an opinion on the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit and for expressing an opinion on the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Aurora Corporation.
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's Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- a. Compliance declaration
The Parent Company Only Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
- b. Preparation basis
The Parent Company Only Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the present value of defined benefit obligations less fair value of plan assets.
When preparing parent company only financial statements, the Company adopts the equity method for investments in subsidiaries and associates. In order to align profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and equity from the current year in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements with those attributable to the Company's owners, the differences in accounting treatment with individual and consolidated basis have led to adjustments in "investments accounted for using the equity method", "share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method", "share of other comprehensive income of subsidiary and associates accounted for using the equity method" and related equity items.
- 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 (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:
-
1) Liabilities held primarily for trading purposes;
-
2) Liabilities with settlement within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
-
3) Liabilities do 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.
All other assets or liabilities that are not specified above are classified as non-current.
- d. Foreign currencies
14
In the preparation of financial statements, transactions denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currency) are translated into the Company's functional currency by using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
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 parent company only 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.
e. Inventories
Inventories comprise raw materials, work in process, and commodities. 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 necessary to make the sale.
- f. Investments in subsidiaries
The Company has adopted the equity method for investments in subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries refer to entities controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of investment is adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition changes in the Company's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and profit distribution of the subsidiaries. In addition, changes in the Company’s share of subsidiaries' other equity are recognized in proportion to its shareholding ratio.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, and liabilities of subsidiaries 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.
When the Company assesses impairment, the test shall be performed on the basis of cash generating units within the financial statements. The recoverable amount and the carrying amount of cash generating units shall be compared. Subsequently, if the recoverable amount of an asset increases, the recovery of the impairment loss shall be recognized as an advantage, provided that the carrying amount of the asset recovered from the impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount of the asset to be amortized if the impairment loss is not recognized. Impairment losses attributable to goodwill shall not be reversed in subsequent periods.
15
The unrealized profit or loss in downstream transactions between the Company and the subsidiary shall be eliminated in the parent company only financial statements. The gains and losses arising from the countercurrent and side current transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries shall be recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent not related to the Company's equity in the subsidiaries.
- g. Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence other than a subsidiary or a joint venture.
The Company accounts for investments in associates using the equity method.
Under the equity method, investments are initially treated at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Company'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 Company’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 Company'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 Company 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 Company 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 Company and associates are recognized in the financial statements only when the profits and losses are irrelevant to the Company'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.
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 properties
16
Investment property is real estate held for rent or capital appreciation or both.
Investment property owned by the Company 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 Company 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 unit 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 unit 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 unit 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 Company 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 Company 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. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for an individual asset, the Company shall estimate the recoverable amount of the asset's cash-generating unit.
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 be reduced to the recoverable amount and the impairment loss shall be recognized in profit or loss.
17
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 financial liabilities shall be recognized in the balance sheets when the Company becomes a party of the financial instrument contract.
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 Company are financial assets at amortized cost.
Financial assets at amortized cost
When the Company's investments in financial assets match 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 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 to the amortized cost of the financial assets.
-
ii.Financial assets that are not credit impairment from purchases or at the time of founding but subsequently become credit impairments shall be calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate in the reporting period after the credit impairment by the cost after the amortization of financial assets.
-
b) Impairment of financial assets
The impairment loss of financial assets at amortized cost is measured by the Company on the balance sheet date based on the expected credit losses.
18
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.
For the purpose of internal credit risk management, under the premise that the collateral held is not under consideration, the Company 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 Company derecognizes the financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flow from the said financial assets expire or when the Company 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.
-
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 Company 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
Product sale income is from the sale of printers and fax machines. Upon arrival of printers and fax machines at the destination designated by customers, the customers have already owned the right to set the price and use the same and taken the responsibility for re-sale and borne the obsolescence risk; therefore, the Company recognized the income and accounts receivable at that moment. The expected
19
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 Company assesses whether the contract is (or includes) a lease on the date of its establishment.
- 1) Where the Company is a lessor:
Under operating leases, lease payments after deducting lease incentives are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease term.
- 2) Where the Company 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), and subsequently measured at cost minus the accumulated depreciation and the accumulated impairment loss and adjusted for the remeasurement of the lease liability. A right-of-use asset is separately presented on the 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). 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 Company 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 expressed separately in the 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
20
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 employee benefit expenses. The remeasurement amount (including actuarial gains and losses 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 current tax and deferred income tax.
- 1) Current Income tax
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 and Affiliated, except where the Company 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 Company expects, at the balance sheet date, 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 Company 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.
When developing significant accounting estimates, the company will take into account possible impacts on cash flow estimates, growth rates, discount rates, profitability and other related major estimates. Management will continue to review estimates and basic assumptions.
After reviewing the accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions adopted by the Company, the management found no material uncertainties.

Accounts receivable
The Company's credit period for commodity sales averages 60~90 days. To minimize credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a team responsible for taking other monitoring measures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. The Company will also review recoverable amount of receivable on balance sheet date to ensure unrecoverable receivables are listed in impairment loss. As such, the management concludes that the credit risk of the Company is significantly reduced.
The Company 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 Company, 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 Company 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 Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.
Loss allowances for accounts receivable based on the provision matrix are as follows:

The Company 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 Company 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 Company'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 |
December31,2024 1.500% 2.25% |
December31,2023 |
|---|---|---|
| 1.125% 2.25% |
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% |
December31,2024 ($ 7,164) $ 7,378 $ 7,192 ($ 7,019) |

|---|---|---|---|
| ( ( |
( ( |
$ 8,436) $ 8,705 $ 8,454 $ 8,236) |
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
According to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company's annual earnings distribution policy states that if the Company has a net profit after tax for the current period, the annual earnings shall be distributed in the following order.
-
Cover accumulated losses (including adjustment of the amount of undistributed earnings).
-
Set aside 10% legal reserve However, this is not applicable if the legal reserve has reached the paid-in capital.
-
Special reserve appropriated or reversed in accordance with laws or regulations or the authority's instructions
-
The remaining balance and the undistributed earnings at the beginning of the period (including the adjustment of the amount of undistributed earnings) is proposed by the Board of Directors for distribution and submitted to the shareholders' meeting for resolution. For the policy of employee remuneration estimation and distribution, please refer to Note 21(6) Employee Remuneration.
The Company has authorized the Board of Directors to resolve, with at least two-thirds of the directors present and the consent of a majority of the directors, that all or part of the dividends and bonuses, capital surplus or legal reserve to be distributed shall be paid in cash and reported to the shareholders’ meeting.
Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. When the Company has no deficit, the legal reserve exceeding 25% of the paid-in capital may be used to increase capital or distributed in cash.
The Company’s industry is now in a stable growth stage, and its capital requirements have been eased; as a result, the Company will endeavor to return operating results to its shareholders in the future. In order to balance the Company's business development, capital and financial status, capital expansion and shareholders' equity, the Company's dividend policy will adopt the principle of combining stock dividends and cash dividends, of which the cash dividend ratio shall be no less than 10% of the dividends distributed for the year.
The proposal for the Company’s earnings distributions for 2023 and 2022 is set forth below:
| ow: | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legal reserve Cash dividends Cash dividend per share (NTD) |
2023 $ 108,985 $ 968,430 $ 4.1 |
2022 | ||
| $ 131,404 $ 1,110,152 $ 4.7 |
The above-mentioned cash dividends were resolved by the Board of Directors on March 14, 2024 and March 13, 2023, respectively. The remaining earnings distribution items were also resolved at the shareholders’ meetings held on June 19, 2024 and June 19, 2023, respectively.
39
The 2024 earnings distribution proposed by the Board of Directors on March 14, 2025 are as follows:
| follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Legal reserve Cash dividends |
Appropriation of earnings $ 98,083 873,949 |
Dividends per share (NTD) |
| $ 3.7 |
The aforementioned cash dividends have been resolved by the Board of Directors for distribution, and the remaining balance is subject to resolution at the general shareholders’ meeting scheduled to be held on June 19, 2025.
- d. Special reserve arising from first-time application of IFRS Accounting Standards
Special reserve arising from first-time application of IFRS Accounting Standards is as follows:
| follows: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Special reserve | December31,2024 $ 331,624 |
December31,2023 | |
| $ 331,624 |
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 IFRS Accounting Standards 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.

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The main financial instruments of the Company include equity instrument investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, loans, and lease liabilities. The financial management department of the Company provides services for the business units, coordinates the operation of the domestic financial market, and supervises and manages financial risks related to the operation of the Company by analyzing the internal risk reports of the risks according to the level and scope of risks. Such risk includes market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.
- 1) Market risk
The main financial risks the Company is exposed to in the business activities are foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.
Market risk in relation to the Company's financial instruments and its management and measurement approaches remain unchanged.
49
a) Foreign exchange risk
For the monetary assets and liabilities of the Company denominated in non-functional currencies on the balance sheet date, please refer to Note XXXI.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly impacted by the exchange rate fluctuations in USD.
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, 2024 and 2023. 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 | |
| 2024 $ 211 |
2023 | |
| $ 19 |
The impact of profit or loss was mainly attributable to the demand deposits and loans for material purchasing denominated in USD that were still outstanding and not hedged in cash flows on the balance sheet date. The Company's sensitivity to the exchange rate of USD decrease in the current period due to the increased in the net liability denominated in USD held by the Company.
- b) Interest rate risk
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company exposed to interest rate risk on the balance sheet date are as follows:
December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fair value interest rate risk | ||
| - Financial liabilities | $ 213,079 | $ 248,487 |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| - Financial assets | 253,928 | 173,286 |
| - Financial liabilities | 1,950,000 | 2,090,000 |
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.
50
If the interest rate increased or decreased by 25 basis points, the Company's net income before tax in 2024 and 2032 would have decreased or increased by NT$4,240 thousand and NT$4,792 thousand, respectively, with all other variables remaining constant. This is mainly attributable to the exposure to the risks of interest rates of the Company's deposits and long-term loans.
The Company's sensitivity to interest rates decreased during the current period, mainly due to the debt reduction with floating interest rates.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to risk that causes the financial loss of the Company due to a counterparty's delay in performing contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the Company's largest credit risk exposure from a counterparty's failure to fulfill obligations came from the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the parent company only balance sheets.
The Company 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 Company’s credit risk is concentrated on the top 10 customers, accounting for 8% and 10% and of the total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
3) Liquidity risk
The Company supports the operations and reduces the impact of fluctuating cash flows by managing and maintaining sufficient cash. The management of the Company supervises the use of the credit line and ensures compliance with the terms of the loan contracts.
The following tables detail the Company’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 Company can be required to repay.
