Auditor's Report

(2024) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 23003410 To Chunghwa Chemical Synthesis & Biotech Co., Ltd.,

We have audited the accompanying proprietary consolidated balance sheet of Chunghwa Chemical Synthesis & Biotech Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as Chunghwa Group) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows and Notes to consolidated financial statement (including significant accounting policies) for the years then ended.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chunghwa Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers,” and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that was approved and announced effective by the Financial Supervisory Commission, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations, and Notices (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretation (IFRIC) and Interpretative Announcement (SIC).

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Auditing Standards. The responsibilities of the independent auditor under these standards will be further explained in the paragraph of “independent auditor’s responsibility for consolidated financial statements.” The personnel of the CPA Firm subject to the independence requirement have acted independently from the business operations of Chunghwa Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics and with other responsibilities of the Code of Ethics performed. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

The “key audit matters” means that the independent auditor has used their professional judgment to audit the most important matters on the 2023 consolidated financial statements of Chunghwa Group. The key audit matters have been responded to in the process of auditing the consolidated financial statements as a whole and forming an audit opinion; therefore, the independent auditor does not express an opinion on these matters separately.

The key audit items from the 2023 consolidated financial statement of Chunghwa Chemical Synthesis and Biotech Co., Ltd. are presented below:

~5~

Accounting assessment of inventory valuation

Description of the matter

See Note 4 (12) in the consolidated financial report regarding the accounting policy on inventory valuation, Note 5 (2) for the accounting assessment and hypothetical uncertainty on inventory valuation, and Note 6 (4) for the description of the inventory account.

Chunghwa Group is engaged mainly in the production and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Since active pharmaceutical ingredients are in a severely competitive market and sensitive to shelf life, the risk of losses from inventory devaluation or obsolescence is higher. Since the inventories involve large amounts of money and large numbers of items that require laborious work by human beings to identify expired or damaged goods, we regard the assessment of allowance to reduce inventory to market as a key audit item.

The responsive auditing process

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:

1. Assessing the policy on allowance to reduce inventory to market in accordance with our understanding of the Company's operations and the nature of the business.

2. Performing sampling tests to examine if the market price of net realized value is consistent with the Company's policy, and randomly examining the accuracy of the selling price of individual inventory parts and the way net realized value is calculated.

3. Obtain out-of-date inventory details that are identified by the management, check the related information and verify the account records.

Checking whether the time point of sales income recognition is appropriate

Description of the matter

For the accounting policy on the recognition of income, please refer to Note 4 (26) of the consolidated financial statement. For information on income accounts, please refer to Note 6 (15) of the consolidated financial statement. As stated in the accounting policies, the sales revenue is recognized when products are delivered to customers who have discretionary power in channels and prices of products sold and Chunghwa Chemical Synthesis and Biotech has no outstanding performance obligations which may affect customers’ acceptance of products. As exports are the main source of income for Chunghwa Chemical Synthesis & Biotech Co., Ltd., the terms of business agreed upon between the Company and its customers are the basis of income assessment. However, such a process often involves a lot of manpower for verification and may lead to inappropriate income recognition time points. Therefore, we regard the sales income recognition time points as a key audit item.

~6~

The responsive auditing process

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:

1. The group's operating procedure for and internal control on income recognition time points were examined and assessed, while the Company's internal control on sales deadlines was tested to verify the correctness of the income recognition time points.

2. The execution of sales and income over a certain period before and after the time periods covered in the financial report were examined with the packing lists, customer orders and declaration forms in order to confirm that income was recognized at appropriate periods.

Other matters - individual financial report

Chunghwa Group has compiled its 2023 and 2022 individual financial statements, for which we issued unqualified opinion.

The responsibility of the management and management units to the consolidated financial statements

The responsibility of the management is to have the consolidated financial statements presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that was approved and announced effective by the Financial Supervisory Commission, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations, and Notices (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretation (IFRIC) and Interpretative Announcement (SIC); also, maintain the necessary internal controls related to the consolidated financial statements in order to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are free of any material misstatement arising from fraud or errors.

While preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management’s responsibility also includes assessing the continuing operation of Chunghwa Group, the disclosure of the relevant matters, and the adoption of the accounting base for continuing operation, unless the management intends to liquidate Chunghwa Group or cease the business operation, or there is lack of any alternative except for liquidation or suspension.

The governance units (including the Audit Committee) of Chunghwa Group are responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

The responsibilities of the independent auditor to the consolidated financial statements

The purpose of the independent auditor’s auditing the consolidated financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement arising from fraud or errors and with an audit report issued. Reasonable assurance means a high degree of assurance. However, the audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards of the R.O.C. does not guarantee having any material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements detected. Material misstatement could arise from fraud or errors. If the misstated amount or aggregated amount is reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial statements, it is considered significant.

~7~

We used professional judgment and suspicion during the audit in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China. The independent auditor also performs the following tasks:

1. Identify and evaluate the risk of material misstatement arising from fraud or errors of the consolidated financial statements; design and implement proper responsive measures to the risk assessed; also, obtain sufficient and adequate audit evidences for forming an audit opinion. The risk of fraud may involve conspiracy, forgery, deliberate omission, false declaration, or violating internal control; therefore, the risk of material misstatement arising from the undetected fraud is higher than that caused by errors.

2. Obtain necessary understanding on the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstance, but the purpose is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of Chunghwa Group.

3. Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management; also, the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made.

4. Base on the audit evidence obtained to make conclusions on the suitability of the accounting base for continuing operation base adopted by the management and whether or not the events or circumstances causing significant doubts to the continuing operation ability of Chunghwa Group are with significant uncertainties. If the independent auditor believes that such events or circumstances are with significant uncertainties, it is necessary to remind the users of the consolidated financial statements in the audit report to pay attention to the relevant disclosure or to revise the audit opinion when such disclosures are inappropriate. The conclusion of the independent auditor is based on the audit evidence obtained as of the audit report date. However, future events or circumstances may result in the inability of Chunghwa Group to continue operating.

5. Assess the overall expression, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements (including the relevant notes) and whether or not the relevant transactions and events in the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly.

6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of business entities within the Group in order to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The independent auditor is responsible for guiding, supervising, and implementing the audit of the Group; also, is responsible for forming an opinion on the audit of the Group.

The matters communicated by the independent auditor to the governing unit include the scope and timing of the planned audit, and the significant findings (including the major nonconformities of internal controls identified in the auditing process).

The independent auditor has provided the declaration of independence of the CPA Firm personnel subject to the Code of Ethics to the governing unit; also, it has communicated with the governing unit regarding the relationship and other matters (including the relevant protection measures) that may affect the independence of the independent auditor.

~8~

The independent auditor has based on the communications with the governing unit to determine the key audit matters to be performed on the 2023 consolidated financial statements of Chunghwa Group. The independent auditor shall state the key audit matters in the audit report except for the specific matters prohibited by law from being disclosed, or, in rare cases; the independent auditor decides not to have specific matters communicated in the audit report since the negative effect of such disclosure can be reasonably expected to be greater than the increase of public interest.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting polices applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the period presented, unless otherwise stated.

~18~

(1) Compliance Statement

These consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs).

(2) Basis of preparation

1. Except for the following items, these consolidated statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

2. (1) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive Income

3. (2) The ascertained welfare assets recognized as the net amount of the pension fund assets minus the current value of the ascertained welfare obligations.

4. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumption and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(3) Basis of consolidation

1. The basis of preparation for consolidated financial statements

2. (1) The Group incorporates all subsidiaries for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are incorporated into the consolidated financial statements from the date they are controlled by the Group and cease to be consolidated on the date it is no longer controlled by the Group.

3. (2) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries’ financial statements are adjusted to align the accounting policies with those of the Group.

4. (3) The components of profit and loss and other comprehensive income are attributable to the owner of the parent company and non-controlling interests. The total comprehensive income is also attributable to the owner of the parent company and non-controlling interests, even if it results in a loss of non-controlling interests.

5. (4) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

6. (5) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group re-measures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as

~19~

would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

1. Subsidiary company not included in the consolidated financial statements are as follows: None

2. Adjustments on subsidiary companies with different accounting periods: None.

3. Significant limitations: None

4. Subsidiaries of the Group with significant non-controlling interests: None.

6. (4) Foreign currency translations

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

1. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

2. (1) Transactions denominated in foreign currency are translated into a functional currency at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction or measurement. Foreign currency differences arising from translating such transactions are recognized in current profit or loss.

3. (2) The foreign currency asset or liability balances are revaluated based on spot exchange rate of the balance sheet date, and any exchange difference arising from the adjustment is included in the profit and loss for the year.

4. (3) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in current profit or loss ; Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the date of the initial transaction.

~20~

• (4) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “Other gains and losses”.

• Translation of the financial statements of foreign operations

• (1) The operating results and financial position of all the subsidiaries that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • A. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet.

  • B. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

  • C. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

• (2) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. However, if the Group retains partial interest in the former subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interests in the foreign operation.

(5) Criteria for distinguishing Current or Non-Current on the Balance Sheet

1. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:

2. (1) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle.

3. (2) Held mainly for the purpose of trading.

4. (3) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date.

5. (4) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve month after the balance sheet date.

The Group classifies assets that do not meet any of the above criteria as non-current assets.

1. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:

2. (1) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle.

3. (2) Held mainly for the purpose of trading.

4. (3) Expected to be repaid within 12 months of the balance sheet date

5. (4) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than 12 months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

The Group classifies liabilities that do not meet any of the above criteria as non-current liabilities.

(6) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

~21~

(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

1. Refer to the financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

2. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized using either trade date or settlement date accounting.

3. The Group measures financial assets at fair value in initial recognition. The related transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss. These financial assets are subsequently re-measured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.

4. Once the right to receive dividends is confirmed, the Group recognizes the dividend income in profit or loss if the future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity and the dividend can be measured reliably.

(8) Accounts receivable and notes

1. Refers to accounts and notes that have been unconditionally charged for the right to exchange the value of the consideration due to the transfer of goods or services.

2. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(9) Impairment of Financial Assets

Financial assets measured at amortized cost, the Group, on each balance sheet date, considers all reasonable and supportable information (including forward-looking ones) and measures the loss allowance based on the 12-month expected credit losses for those that do not have their credit risk increased significantly since initial recognition. For those that have increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured based on the full lifetime expected credit losses. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is also required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

(10) The de-recognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized when the Group’s rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired.

(11) The lessor’s lease transaction/business lease

Income from under an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(12) Inventory

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the cost is determined by weighted-average method. The costs of finished and work in process goods include raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and manufacturing-related expenses, excluding borrowing costs. At the end of year, inventories are evaluated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

~22~

- (13) Investments in equity method associate companies

1. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.

2. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss in the current period, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate (including any other unsecured receivables), the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred statutory/constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

3. When there is equity change in non-profit and loss and other consolidated profit and loss occurring to the affiliated enterprises that do not affect the shareholding of the affiliated enterprises, the Group will have the equity change recognized as “additional paid-in capital” proportionally to the shareholding ratio.

4. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the polices adopted by the Group.

5. When the Group disposes of its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are accounted for on the same basis as direct disposal of related assets or liabilities, that is, profit or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss when related assets or liabilities are disposed of. When the Group loses significant influence over the associate, the aforesaid profit or loss is reclassified from retained earnings to profit or loss. If it still retains significant influence over the associate, then the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.

(14) Property , plant, and equipment

1. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

2. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a spate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

3. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

4. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and

~23~

useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, from the date of change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings and structures 2 years ~ 60 years Machinery equipment 2 years ~ 20 years Transport equipment 3 years ~ 5 years Other equipment 2 years ~ 40 years

(15) The lessee’s lease transaction-right-of-use assets/lease liabilities.

1. Lease assets are recognized on the day of the available for use by the Group as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. If the lease contract is a short-term lease or a lease of an underlying asset with low-value, lease payment is recognized using the straight-line method as an expense during the period of lease based.

2. The lease liability on the first day of lease is recognized at the present value after unpaid lease payments are converted into cash according to the Group’s incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments include fixed payments deducted by any lease incentives received. According to the follow-up interest method and measurements by the amortized cost method, interest incurring during the period of lease is provisioned. In case of changes in the period of lease or lease payments not attributed to contract modifications, the lease liability will be re-evaluated, and the remeasurement will be used to readjust the right-of-use asset.

3. The right-of-use asset is recognized by cost on the starting day of lease. The costs include:

4. (1) The original measured amount of lease liability;

5. (2) Any original direct costs incurred;

The cost model is adopted for subsequent measurements. Either the end of the durability of right-of-use assets or the end of the period of lease incurring earlier will be provisioned as depreciation fees. When re-evaluating lease liability, the right-of-use asset will readjust any remeasurements of lease liability.

(16) Investment property

Investment properties are initially measured at cost and may be subsequently measured using a cost model.

(17) Intangible assets

Based on the acquisition cost as the accounting basis; computer software, patent rights and specialized technology are amortized based on their economic life or contractual term, whichever is shorter.

(18) Losses in non-financial asset

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount refers to an asset’s fair value less the cost of disposal or the useful value, whichever is the

~24~

higher. Except for goodwill, when the impairment of assets recognized in prior period is non-existent or reduced, the impairment loss should be reversed. However, the increased book value of the asset due to the reversed impairment loss may not exceed the book value net of depreciation or amortization before recognizing impairment loss.

(19) Loans

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(20) Notes and accounts payable

1. Refers to debts incurred as a result of the purchase of raw materials, goods or services and the notes payable due to business and non-business purposes.

2. The short-term accounts and notes payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(21) De-recognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a liability when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

(22) Financial assets and liabilities written-off against each other

Recognized financial liabilities and assets are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(23) Employee benefits

1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the discounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees and are recognized as expenses in the period when the employees render service.

1. Pension

2. (1) Defined contribution plan

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

• (2) Defined benefit plan

• A. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date)

~25~

instead.

• B. Re-measurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recoded as retained earnings.

• C. The expense associated with prior service cost is recognized immediately as a profit or loss.

• Remunerations for employees and directors

Remunerations for employees and directors are recognized as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. If the accrued amounts for employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors are different from the actual distributed amounts, the differences should be recognized based on the accounting for changes in estimates. If employee compensation is distributed by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.

(24) Income tax

1. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

2. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with the applicable tax regulations. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

3. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. A deferred tax liability is not recognized for liabilities arising from initial recognition of goodwill or arising from the initial recognition of an asset/liability other than in a business combination which, at the time of the transaction, does not affect either the accounting or the taxable profit (taxable loss) and at the time of the transaction, does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted as of the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

4. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

5. Current income tax and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is

~26~

an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(25) Dividends

Dividends distributed to shareholders of the Company are recognized in the financial statements when the shareholder meeting resolves to distribute dividends, and the cash dividends are recognized as liabilities.

(26) Recognition of revenue

1. Product sales

• (1) The Group manufactures and sells API-related products. The sales revenue is recognized when products are delivered to customers who have discretionary power in channels and prices of products sold and the Group has no outstanding performance obligations which may affect customers’ acceptance of products. The delivery of products is considered occurs when the products are shipped to the designated locations and the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to customers who accept the products under sales contracts, or when there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance criteria have been met.

• (2) Account receivables are recognized when goods are delivered to customers. Since the Group has unconditional rights to the contract price from that point in time, only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

2. Labor revenue

• (1) The Group provides commissioned bio drug testing and other related services. Labor service income is recognized as income during the period of financial reporting on services provided to customers. Revenues from fixed price contracts are recognized based of the proportion of services provided in all services provided as of the balance sheet date. The percentage of service completion is based on the proportion of actual costs incurred in the total costs. The customer shall pay contract prices according to the payment time agreed. When services provided by the company exceed the customer’s accounts payable, they are recognized as contract assets; if the customer’s accounts payable exceeds the services provided by the company, they are recognized as contract liability.

• (2) The Group’s estimates of revenues, costs, and degree of work completion are subject to amendments as circumstances change. Any increase or decrease in estimated income or cost due to changes in estimates shall be reflected in profit or loss during the period in which the circumstances leading to the amendments are known to management.

(27) Operating segments

The operating segment information and the internal management reports submitted to the mainly operational decision makers are consistent in the way of reporting. The chief operating decision-maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

~27~

5. Main source of significant accounting judgment, estimates and assumptions uncertainty

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates based on the expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period. The resulting accounting estimates might be different from the related actual results, the judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Critical accounting judgments, estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty are explained as follows:

(1) Critical judgments concerning the application of accounting policies

None.

• (2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Evaluation of inventory

The Group measures the normal sales of inventories by the lower of cost and net realizable value. For inventories that have existed longer than a certain period of time and are obsolete and damaged, net realizable value of each inventory is identified to be recognized as a loss. Therefore, the Group must use its best judgments and estimates to determine the net realizable value of inventory at the balance sheet date. Due to the stricter verification of active pharmaceutical ingredients and the lengthening time required to obtain drug licenses, the disposal of inventory is below expectation, resulting in the loss from inventory depreciation or the higher risk of inventory obsolescence. The Group assesses on the balance sheet date the inventory due to normal wear and tear, obsolescence or without market sales value and reduces the inventory cost to net realizable value. The inventory assessment may experience significant changes due to fluctuations in the net realizable value of future products. As of December 31, 2023, the book balance of the Group’s inventories is $1,211,026.

benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilization plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilization for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). For the use of this fund, the minimum earnings distribution every year shall not be for an amount less than the income calculated in accordance with the local bank’s two-year time deposit rate; also, the insufficient fund, if any, should be made up by the National Treasury with the approval of the competent authorities. Since the Company is not entitled to participating in the operation and management of the Fund, the classification of the fair value of plant asset cannot be disclosed in accordance with International Accounting Standards No. 19, paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilization Report announced by the government.

(5) Assumptions for the actuation of pension funds are summarized as follows:

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with the published statistics and experience in the 6th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.

The present value of the defined benefit obligations affected by the changes in the actuarial assumptions is analyzed as follows:

The sensitivity analysis above analyzes the impact from changing one of the assumptions while others remain constant. In practice, many changes in assumptions may be mutually interactive. The sensitivity analysis is consistent with the method adopted for calculating the net pension liability on the balance sheet.

When the retained earnings of a company is not enough to offset capital losses, the capital reserves cannot be applied.

Special reserve shall also be allocated. If there is still surplus, it can be put together with the accumulated undistributed surplus of the previous year as the surplus available this year for distribution. Part of it can be retained, depending on the Company’s business needs for the year, before being distributed to shareholders. Cash dividends shall not be less than 50% of the shareholder dividend given, but when the cash dividend is calculated to be less than $0.1 per share, it can be given in the form of stock dividend.

1. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose. The use of the legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion in excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.

2. (1) In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside special reserve from the debit balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings.

(1) Capital management

The Group’s capital risk management objectives are to ensure that the Group is capable of continuing operations, to maintain the most appropriate capital structure in order to reduce cost of capital and to maximize returns for shareholders. The Group may make adjustments to dividends paid to shareholders, refund capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce the level of debts in order to maintain or adjust the Group’s capital structure. The Group uses the debt-to-equity ratio to monitor its capital. The ratio is calculated by dividing

~50~

net debts by total capital. Net debts are calculated as total debts (including “current and non-current borrowings” presented in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as “equity” presented in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debts.

The strategy of the Group in 2023 remained the same as in 2022 to be committed to maintaining a debt to capital ratio below 40%.

(exchange rate, interest rate and price), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management policy focuses on unpredictable events in the financial market, and the Group seeks to mitigate potential adverse effect on the financial position and performance.

• (2) The Group’s Finance Department identifies and assesses financial risks in close collaboration with the Group’s other operating units.

• The nature and extent of significant financial risks

• (1) Market risk

Exchange rate risk

• A. The Group is a multinational operation and therefore is subject to exchange rate risk arising from transactions between the different currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries, mainly in US dollars. The related exchange risk from future operating activities have been recognized in assets and liabilities.

• B. The Finance Department of the Group conducts hedging for the overall exchange rate risk. In order to manage the exchange rate risk from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, companies within the Group take on the natural hedging approach for general imports and exports to reduce the foreign exchange risk.

• C. The Group’s operations involve certain non-functional currencies (the Company’s functional currency is the New Taiwan dollar (NTD), and subsidiary's functional currency is the USD), so it is subject to the impact of exchange rate fluctuation. The details of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by exchange rate fluctuations are as follows:

Price risk

• A. The equity instruments of the Group that are exposed to price risks are those financial assets held at fair value through profit and loss. To manage the price risk of equity instruments, the Group diversifies its investment portfolio in a manner that is based on the limits set by the Group.

• B. The Group invests primarily in equity instruments issued by domestic companies. The price of such equity instrument is subject to the uncertainty of the future value of investment target. In case the price of the said equity instrument rises or drops by 10% while the other factors remain unchanged, the after-tax net profit for 2023 and 2022 due to the profit or loss of the equity instrument measured from fair value through profit and loss will increase or decrease by $3,286 and $3,332 respectively.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

• A. The Group’s interest rate risk mainly comes from short-term borrowings issued at floating rates and long-term borrowing, which exposes the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. For 2023 and 2022, the Group’s borrowings issued at floating rates were mainly denominated in New Taiwan dollars.

• B. B. If the interest rates of borrowing NTD and USD increases or decreases by 1%, while all other factors remain constant, the net profit after tax for 2023 and 2022 is an increase of $9,600 and $4,800, respectively, mainly due to the interest expense changes caused by the floating interest rate.

• (2) Credit risk

• A. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss of the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments under contract obligations, and the defaults are accounts receivable.

• B. The management of credit risk is established with a Group perspective. According to the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Office of the General Manager. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.

• C. The Group uses IFRS 9 to provide an assumption that if a contract payment is overdue for more than 90 days in accordance with the agreed payment terms, it is considered a breach of contract.

• D. The Group uses IFRS 9 to provide the following assumption as a basis for determining whether there is a significant increase in the credit risk of financial instruments after the original recognition:

If the contract payment is overdue for more than 30 days in accordance with the agreed payment terms, the credit risk of the financial asset is significantly increased since the original recognition.

• E. The Group categorizes the accounts receivable from customers based on their nature. The provision matrix and the loss ratio method are adopted as the basis for estimating the expected credit loss.

~54~

• F. The Group may write off the amount of financial assets that cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered after recourse. However, the Group will still continue the recourse to protect the rights of the claims. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group has no creditor’s rights that have been written off but are involved in recourse.

• G. The Group has included the global economic indicators and signals and estimated the loss allowance for notes receivable and accounts (including the interested parties) based on the loss rates built according to historic and current data. The provision matrix and loss rate as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are show as follows:

December 31, 2023 Expected rate of loss Not overdue 0.01%~0.13% Overdue within 30 days 0.16%~1.62% Overdue 31 to 60 days 0.17%~1.65% Overdue 61 to 90 days 0.99%~9.91% Overdue 91 10.00%~100.00% December 31, 2022 Expected rate of loss Not overdue 0.01%~0.15% Overdue within 30 days 0.18%~1.83% Overdue 31 to 60 days 0.19%~1.86% Overdue 61 to 90 days 1.11%~11.14% Overdue 91 10.00%~100.00%	Expected rate of	Total book value $ 45,507 - - - - $ 45,507 Total book value $ 76,460 - - - - $ 76,460	Allowance for losses
			$ 294 - - - - $ 294 Allowance for losses
			$ 294 - - - - $ 294

The customers of Pharmaports, LLC, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, prove very sound in credit standing. The previous experiences show no default record at all. The anticipated loss rate is, therefore, at 0.2%. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the total receivable book value and the allowance for loss amounted to $202,899 and $18 and $225,253 and $18.

• H. The Group adopts a simplified method in which the loss allowance for the accounts receivable is shown below:

2023

Note receivable and accounts receivable

(including related parties)

January 1 (December 31)

$ 312

~55~

2022

January 1 Impairment loss reversal December 31	Note receivable and accounts receivable (including related parties) $ 18,657 ( 18,345) $ 312

The amount recognized above is based on other credit enhancements held, so the unrecognized loss allowance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are $365 and $470. Among the reversed loss in 2023 and 2022, $0 and $18,345 were originally the impairments on accounts receivable from contracts with customers.

• (3) Liquidity risk

• A. Cash flow forecasting is performed by the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department. It monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity requirements to ensure the Group has sufficient cash to meet operational needs and maintain sufficient unencumbered loan commitments at all times. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, and compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.

• B. The Group’s unutilized borrowings are shown as follows:

Maturing in one year or less Mature beyond one year		December 31,2023		December 31,2022
		$ 570,000 450,000 $ 1,020,000		$ 920,000 500,000 $ 1,420,000

• C. The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

• (3) Fair value information

• The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: The quotation (unadjusted) of the same assets or liabilities that can be acquired by the company in an active market on the measurement date A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in publicly traded or OTC stocks is included.

  • Level 2: It refers to the directly or indirectly observable input value of asset or liability, except for those quotations included in Level 1.

  • Level 3: The unobservable inputs of assets or liabilities.

• Please refer to Note 6 (7) for the fair value of investment property carried at cost.

• Financial instrument not measured at fair value:

Include the book value of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable (including the interested parties), other receivable, short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable, other accounts payable and lease liabilities as reasonable approximation of fair value.

1. The related information for financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities is as follows:

~57~

• (1) The Group classifies them based on the nature of assets and liabilities, and the information is as follows:

December 31, 2023 Assets Repeatable fair value Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Equity securities December 31, 2022 Assets Repeatable fair value Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Equity securities	Level 1 $- Level 1 $-	Level 2 $- Level 2 $-	Level 3 $ 32,856 Level 3 $ 33,317	Total $ 32,856
				Total $ 33,317

• (2) The methods and assumptions adopted by the Group to measure fair value are as follows:

  • A. The fair value of other financial instruments is obtained by valuation or reference to quotation from counterparties.

  • B. When assessing non-standardized and less complex financial instruments, the Group adopts valuation techniques widely used by other market participants. The parameters used in the valuation models for this type of financial instruments are usually observable market information.

  • C. The output of valuation models are estimates, and the valuation techniques may not reflect all factors affecting the financial instruments and non-financial instruments held by the Group. Therefore, the estimates of valuation models will be adjusted according to additional parameters, such as model risk or liquidity risk. Based on the management policies of the Group’s valuation model at fair value and the related control procedures, the management believes that to fairly present the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheet, adjusting valuation may be appropriate and necessary. Price information and parameters used in valuation are carefully assessed and they are appropriately adjusted according to the current market conditions.

• There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 in 2023 and 2022.

• The following table shows the changes in Level 3 in 2023 and 2022:

~58~

January 1 Income recognized in profit or loss (Note) Payment on shares refunded by capital decrease December 31 Note: Other gains and losses listed.	2023 Equity instruments $ 33,317 10,768 ( 11,229) $ 32,856	2022 Equity instruments
		$ 26,726 9,591 ( 3,000) $ 33,317

1. There were no transfers in and/or out of Level 3 in 2023 and 2022.

2. With respect to the valuation of fair value classified as Level 3, the Finance Department is responsible for the independent verification of fair value of financial instruments. Based on independent information, the valuation results can be closer to the market conditions. The independence and reliability of information and the consistency with other sources, as well as other necessary adjustments to the fair value, can ensure that the results are reasonable.

In addition, the Finance Department develops valuation policies and procedures for fair value of financial instruments and ensure that they comply with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards.

1. The quantitative and sensitivity analysis of significant and unobservable input of valuation models used for measuring Level 3 fair value is shown as follows:

Shares of venture capital Shares of venture capital	December 31, 2023 Significant unobservable input value Relationship between input value and fair value Fair value Valuation technique $ 32,856 Net asset value method Not applicable Not applicable December 31, 2023 Significant unobservable input value Relationship between input value and fair value Fair value Valuation technique $ 33,317 Net asset value method Not applicable Not applicable	Relationship between input value and fair value

1. The Group conducts careful assessment before determining the valuation model and parameters to be used, and the use of different valuation models or parameters may lead to different valuation results.
