INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
China Electric Mfg. Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of China Electric Mfg. Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis Items

As stated in Notes 9 and 27 to the financial statements, the warehousing and logistics contractor of China Electric Mfg. Corporation refused to permit inventory counting and transfer upon termination of the contract. The Company's management has disclosed the contractual disputes and corresponding countermeasures in Note 27. As of December 31, 2025, China Electric Mfg. Corporation has recognized a loss of NT$96,682 thousand in relation to the aforementioned assets. The related legal proceedings are ongoing, and the final outcome cannot be determined at this stage. Our audit opinion has not been modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matter in the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 is stated below:

Revenue Recognition of Product Sales

The Group is mainly engaged in the production and sales of lighting products. As product orders are based on customers’ credit limits, the creation of fictitious revenue and manipulation of financial data could only be achieved through adding new customers or increasing the credit limits of existing customers. Therefore, the aforementioned sales revenue from newly added customers or existing customers with significant increase in credit limits was identified as a key audit matter.

Our main audit procedures performed in response to the key audit matter described above were as follows:

  1. We understood the design and implementation of internal controls and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant controls over revenue recognition.
  2. We obtained the credit limits of newly added customers, tested the approved credit limits, and verified the consistency of customers’ credit limits in the system.
  3. We obtained the credit limits of existing customers that had increased significantly, tested the temporary credit limit adjustment, and verified the consistency of customers’ credit limits in the system.
  4. We performed test of details on sales revenue from newly added customers or existing customers with significant increase in credit limits (included obtaining shipping receipts and invoices signed by customers and confirmed that the recipients and amounts were consistent with those of original transactions).
  5. For sales revenue generated from newly added customers or existing customers with significant increase in credit limits, we verified that the unit price of products was higher than the listed price and tested its reasonableness.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of China Electric Mfg. Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with emphasis items and an unmodified opinion, respectively.


Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 4 -


  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Tung Ju Hsieh and Chao Yu Chen.

c. The IFRS Accounting Standards issued by IASB but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

New IFRS Accounting Standards Effective Date Announced by IASB (Note 1)
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture” To be determined by IASB
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” January 1, 2027 (Note 2)
IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” (including the 2025 amendments to IFRS 19) January 1, 2027
Amendments to IAS 21 “Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency” January 1, 2027

Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

Note 2: On September 25, 2025, the FSC announced that IFRS 18 will take starting from January 1, 2028. Domestic entities may elect to apply IFRS 18 earlier, after it has been endorsed by FSC

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and consequential amendments

IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:

  • To classify items of income and expenses presented in the statement of profit or loss into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Group shall assess whether it has specified main business activities, including investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
  • The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
  • Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Group shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Group shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Group labels items as "other" only if it cannot find a more informative label.
  • Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management's view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Group as a whole, the Group shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.

In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:

  • The Group shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
  • Interest and dividends received by the Group shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Group has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified within a single category in the statement of cash flows.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Group’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

a. Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability

c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  • Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
  • Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
  • Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

  • 14 -


Current liabilities include:

  • Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
  • Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and
  • Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 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.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

d. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries).

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Group and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. 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 and attributed to the owners of the Company.

See Note 10 and Table 3 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).

e. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • 15 -

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income; in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary item denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost is stated at the reporting currency as originally translated from the foreign currency.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the Company (including subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and branches in other countries) that are prepared using functional currencies which are different from the currency of the Company are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e., a disposal of the Company's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving the loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation are reclassified to profit or loss.

In a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed to the non-controlling interests of the subsidiary and is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

f. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at the weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

g. Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates.

Under the equity method, investments in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associates. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group's share of equity of associates attributable to the Group.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • 16 -

When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in equity of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method and investments accounted for using the equity method. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription of the new shares of the associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further loss, if any. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.

The entire carrying amount of an investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an associate. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date, and the fair value is regarded as the investment’s fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate. The Group accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required had that associate directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

When the Group transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.

h. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Except for freehold land which is not depreciated, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

i. Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rental and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.

  • 17 -

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.

j. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties, intangible assets and assets related to contract costs

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties and intangible assets, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

Before the Group recognizes an impairment loss from assets related to contract costs, any impairment loss on inventories, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets related to the contract applicable under IFRS 15 shall be recognized in accordance with applicable standards. Then, impairment loss from the assets related to the contract costs is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for related goods or services less the costs which relate directly to providing those goods or services and which have not been recognized as expenses. The assets related to the contract costs are then included in the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to which they belong for the purpose of evaluating impairment of that cash-generating unit.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

k. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • 18 -

  • 19 -

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

a) Measurement categories

Financial assets are classified into the following categories are financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost and equity instruments at FVTOCI.

i. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such financial assets are mandatorily classified or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any dividends, interest earned and remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 24: Financial Instruments.

ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

i) The financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

ii) The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost - current, notes receivable and trade receivables, trade receivables from related parties and part of other current or non-current assets, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset.

A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred.

i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

ii) Breach of contract, such as a default;

iii) It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or

iv) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.


Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

iii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments; instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

b) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) and operating lease receivables.

The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables, operating lease receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs./For financial instruments and contract assets, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account and the carrying amounts of such financial assets are not reduced.

c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

  • 20 -

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

2) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity, and its carrying amounts are calculated based on weighted average by share types. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

3) Financial liabilities

a) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method

b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

  1. Revenue recognition

The Group identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue from the sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of lighting products and other supplementary products. Sales of lighting products and other supplementary products are recognized as revenue when the goods are delivered to the customer’s specific location because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently.

The Group does not recognize revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of control.

m. Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

  • 21 -

1) The Group as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Group assesses the classification of each element separately as a finance or an operating lease based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the lessee. The lease payments are allocated to the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the contract. If the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, each element is accounted for separately in accordance with its lease classification. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably to the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases; in which case, the entire lease is classified as an operating lease.

2) The Group as lessee

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for by applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate and payments of penalties for terminating a lease if the lease term reflects such termination, less any lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate will be used.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

  • 22 -

n. Employee benefits

1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.

2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost, as well as gains and losses on settlements) and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur or when the settlement occurs. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

o. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.

According to the Income Tax Law in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carryforwards and unused tax credits for purchases of machinery, equipment and technology to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

  • 23 -

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and such temporary differences are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

3) Current and deferred taxes

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity; in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

  1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations, and assumptions on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

  1. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
December 31
2025 2024
Cash on hand $ 1,360 $ 2,113
Checking accounts and demand deposits 298,561 224,311
Cash equivalents (investments with original maturities of 3 months or less)
Time deposits 62,876 32,781
$ 362,797 $ 259,205

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, time deposits with original maturities of more than 3 months amounted to $922,617 thousand and $1,135,329 thousand, respectively, and were classified as financial assets at amortized cost. The annual interest rates for time deposits were 1.37%-4.20% and 1.37%-5.16%, respectively.


The market interest rates for cash in banks at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

December 31
2025 2024
Cash equivalents
Time deposits with original maturities of less than 3 months 4.20%-4.35% 4.80%

7. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Shares of listed company $ 296,964 $ 363,978
Private entity company 44,964 51,524
$ 341,928 $ 415,502

These investments in equity instruments are held for long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments' fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group's strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

Dividends of $18,614 thousand and $15,550 thousand were recognized during 2025 and 2024, respectively, which were mainly from investments still held by the Group at the end of the year.

On December 31, 2025 and 2024, due to the operating losses of the foreign private entity Hong Kong Juwei, the fair value assessed by the Group's management through market method was zero.

Notes Receivable and Trade Receivables

The Group’s average credit period of sales of goods is 2 to 3 months after invoice date, and for project contractors is 3 to 6 months after invoice date. No interest is charged on trade receivables. In order to minimize credit risk, the management has delegated a team responsible for monitoring overdue trade receivables to ensure that follow-up action is taken on overdue debts. In addition, the Group will review the recoverable amount of receivables on each balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment loss has been appropriated for the uncollectible receivables. Under the circumstance, the management believes that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix. Under the provision matrix, if the past due days of accounts receivable exceed the credit period of each customer segments, 100% of loss allowance shall be recognized. For the past due days of accounts receivable that did not exceed the credit period, the Group determines the expected credit loss by reference to the different customer segment’s historical average recovery rate, the past default experience of the customer, the customer’s current financial position, economic condition of the industry in which the customer operates, the GDP forecasts, and a possible loss rate is used to recognize a fixed portion of loss allowance.

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix.

c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

Under the dividends policy of the Company's Articles, where the Company made a profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside a special reserve in accordance with the subtraction of the equity, which happened in the fiscal year, and adding up the undistributed retained earnings of the previous year. Then, allocate more than 50% of the calculated number mentioned above, of which the cash dividend shall not be less than 10% of the shareholders' dividend. If the cash dividend is less than $0.1 per share, the dividend will be paid in shares instead of cash. However, the ratio of earnings to be distributed and the ratio of cash dividends to shareholders may be submitted to the Board of Directors and then adjusted by shareholders' meeting based on the Company's profitability and capital position of the year. The Company may distribute all or part of dividends, bonuses, legal reserve, or capital surplus in the form of cash by authorizing the Board of Directors, with the consent of more than two-thirds of the directors present at a meeting attended by a majority of the directors, and reporting such distribution to the shareholders' meeting.

An appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company's paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company's paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

If a special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRS Accounting Standards relates to investment properties other than land, the special reserve may be reversed continuously over the period of use. The special reserve relating to land may be reversed on the disposal or reclassification of the related assets. A proportionate share of the special reserve relating to exchange differences on translating the financial statements of foreign operations (including the subsidiaries of the Company) will be reversed on the Group’s disposal of foreign operations; on the Group’s loss of significant influence, however, the entire special reserve will be reversed. Additional special reserve should be appropriated for the amount equal to the difference between net debit balance reserves and the special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRS Accounting Standards.

Recognized in other comprehensive income (included in unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI) 45,000
Balance on December 31, 2024 $ 51,524

3) Valuation techniques and assumptions for measurement of fair value

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that have standard terms and conditions and are traded in an active market is determined by reference to market quotes. Financial assets in this category include fund beneficiary certificates and listed equity investments.

The determination of fair value: The open-ended fund beneficiary certificates use the net asset value on the balance sheet date, and the shares of domestic listed companies are based on the closing price of the open market on the balance sheet date.

4) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement

Comparable company analysis under the market approach and asset-based approach are adopted to estimate the fair value of domestic and foreign unlisted equity investments.

The main assumption of the comparable company analysis is based on the multiplier of the quoted price and the earnings per share of the comparable listed company, and discount for lack of marketability are considered as well. When the multiplier is higher or the discount for lack of marketability is lower, the fair value of the relevant financial instrument is higher. When the other input values remain unchanged, if the multiplier decreases by 5%, the fair value changes will generate unfavorable changes of $2,327 thousand and $3,471 thousand to other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively; if the discount for lack of marketability increases by 5%, the fair value changes will generate unfavorable changes of $2,327 thousand and $3,471 thousand to other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The asset-based approach is based on the balance sheets. The total value of individual assets and individual liabilities covered by the underlying assets is evaluated, and discount for lack of control and discount for lack of marketability are considered as well. When discounts for lack of control and marketability are lower, the fair value of the relevant financial instrument is higher. When the other input values remain unchanged, if the discount for lack of control increases by 5%, the fair value changes will generate unfavorable changes of $300 thousand and $317 thousand to other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively; if the discount for lack of marketability increases by 5%, the fair value changes will generate unfavorable changes of $300 thousand and $317 thousand to other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

c. The purpose and policy for financial risk management

The financial risk management objective of the Group is to manage foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to operating activities. To reduce related financial risks, the Group is committed to identifying, evaluating and avoiding market uncertainties in order to reduce the potential adverse effects of market changes on the Company's financial performance.

The important financial activities of the Group are reviewed by the board of directors in accordance with relevant regulations and internal controls. During the execution of the financial plan, the Group must strictly comply with the financial operation procedures regarding to overall financial risk management and segregation of duties.

1) Market risk

The Group's activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity securities price.

a) Risk of exchange rates

The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) and of the derivatives exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the year are set out in Note 28.

The Group is mainly affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, resulting in large amounts of assets and liabilities due to foreign currency transactions. Although the profits and losses of foreign currency assets and liabilities generated from changes in market exchange rates are offset against each other, the amounts of foreign currency assets are greater than the amount of foreign currency liabilities; therefore, the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk.

If the value of the New Taiwan dollar against the U.S. dollar had been 1% lower, the Group's profit from continuing operations before tax would have decreased by $5,376 thousand and $5,698 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

  • 45 -

b) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to market changes, which caused the fair value or the future cash flow of financial instruments to fluctuate.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the year were as follows:

December 31
2025 2024
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets $ 979,539 $ 1,171,001
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets 300,246 257,092
Financial liabilities 600,000 600,000

Part of the Group’s bank deposits bears a certain degree of interest rate risk. If the interest on bank deposits is calculated at a floating rate, the interest income may be lower than expected due to the decline in interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is to calculate the interest rate exposure risk of floating rate assets on the balance sheet date. If the interest rate increases by 1%, and all other variables remain unchanged, the profit before income tax in 2025 and 2024 will increase by $3,002 thousand and $2,571 thousand, respectively.

All of the Group’s bank loans are at floating rates, so a rise in interest rates may result in higher-than-expected interest expenses. The following sensitivity analysis is to calculate the interest rate exposure risk of floating rate liabilities on the balance sheet date. If the interest rate increases by 1%, and all other variables remain unchanged, the profit before income tax in the years 2025 and 2024 will both decrease by $6,000 thousand.

The Group’s bank deposits are charged at fixed rates, their fair value may be lower than expected due to the rise in interest rates. However, the Group’s bank deposits held at fixed interest rates are all time deposits with a maturity of less than one year, and the impact on the fair value is limited.

c) Risk of equity securities price

The market risk of equity securities includes the individual risk from the fluctuation of individual equity securities’ market price and general market risk from the fluctuation of the overall price trend. If the price of equity securities had been 1% lower, due to changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; and other comprehensive income would have decreased by $4,315 thousand and $5,028 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty of the transaction defaults on contractual obligations and causes the Group’s financial losses. As of the balance sheet date, the maximum credit risk exposure of the Group’s financial losses due to the counterparty’s failure to perform its obligations is the book value of the financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.


The policy adopted by the Group is to only trade with reputable parties and obtain sufficient guarantees under necessary circumstances to reduce the risk of financial losses due to defaults.

As most counterparties of liquidity transactions are banks with high credit ratings, the credit risk is limited.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group's operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities both of $0 thousand.

Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities

The following table details the Group's remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed upon repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed upon repayment dates.

a. Litigation event

The former chairperson of board of directors and related employees of the Company violated Securities Exchange Act in 2016 and were involved in lawsuits. On June 29, 2021, Taiwan High Court found the chairperson of Board of directors and related employees guilty for violating Securities Exchange Act Article 171, Paragraph 2. The Supreme Court remanded the original judgement to the Taiwan High Court for trial on January 6, 2022. In addition, Securities and Futures Investors Protection Center has filed a motion to remove the Company's directors due to aforementioned case, and the proceedings are currently pending in the Taipei High Administrative Court.

The Company terminated the labor turnkey dispatch contract with VME Group on September 30, 2023, and required VME Group to return a deposit of $3,914 thousand (accounted for other non-current assets), but VME Group refused to return the Company's aforementioned deposit for many unknown reasons. The Company engaged in civil mediation with VME Group on March 19, 2024, but the attempt ended without resolution. Subsequently, the Company filed a civil lawsuit against VME Group. The court held the seventh hearing on March 23, 2026, and the judgment is pending and scheduled to be rendered on April 30, 2026.

The former tenant of the Hsinchu plant, Jay Young Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (collectively referred to as the "Jay Young Semiconductor"), vacated the premises in December 2023 and subsequently claimed that the Company should return the cleanroom facility system equipment installed at the plant. Should the Company be unable to return the equipment, Jay Young Semiconductor demands a payment of $3,381 thousand as compensation for the acquisition of said equipment. Due to unresolved disagreements between the parties regarding ownership of the equipment, Jay Young Semiconductor filed a civil lawsuit against the Company on February 15, 2024. On November 21, 2025, the court ruled that the Company shall return the aforementioned equipment to Jieyang Semiconductor; if the


equipment cannot be returned, the Company shall pay Jieyang Semiconductor $2,300 thousand, and provisional enforcement may be waived. The Company filed an appeal on December 11, 2025, and the hearing is pending.

The Company entered into a logistics warehousing and transportation service agreement with Jin Lai Logistics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jin Lai Logistics"). Prior to the contract expiration on December 31, 2025, the Company duly issued an early termination notice in accordance with the agreement, and Jin Lai Logistics consented to the termination of the cooperation. Under the contractual terms, Jin Lai Logistics was required, upon termination, to cooperate with the Company in completing the inventory count and return procedures. However, as of the date the parent company only financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company had no outstanding payables to Jin Lai Logistics, and the related inventory count and transfer procedures had not been completed because Jin Lai Logistics refused to cooperate on the grounds of alleged misappropriation. Furthermore, on March 5, 2026, the Company received a ruling from the Taiwan High Court (2026 Chuang Zi No. 180), granting the Company the right to enter the disputed logistics warehouse to retrieve its inventories. However, due to the timeline of the ongoing legal proceedings, the Company has not yet been able to retrieve or verify the actual condition of the inventories. Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $96,682 thousand for the year ended 2025 (recorded under other gains and losses). The Company has also filed the related criminal complaint in accordance with law and will pursue claims for damages, including but not limited to inventory value loss, business interruption loss, and other consequential damages, to safeguard shareholders' interests.

29. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

a. Subsidiaries acquired

Principal Activity Date of Acquisition Proportion of Voting Equity Interests Acquired (%)
The Far East Book Co., Ltd. Magazine (journal) publishing October 30, 2024 100

On the acquisition date of October 30, 2024, FullMind Digital Co., Ltd. invested $61,060 thousand in cash to acquire The Far East Book Co., Ltd. (collectively referred to as the “The Far East Book “), whose principal business activity is magazine (journal) publishing.

b. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition

Amount
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents $ 16,177
Notes receivable and trade receivables 4,540
Inventories 3,165
Property, plant and equipment 46,745
Right-of-use assets 678
Other current assets 618
Refundable deposits 120
Total assets 72,043

Identifiable net assets $ 56,280

c. Goodwill recognized on acquisitions

Amount
Consideration transferred $ 61,060
Less: Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired (56,280)
Goodwill recognized on acquisitions $ 4,780

The goodwill arising from the acquisition of The Far East Book Co., Ltd. primarily reflects the control premium. The consideration paid in the business combination also includes anticipated synergies, revenue growth, and future market development. However, as these benefits do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets, they were not separately recognized. Based on management’s assessment of the industry’s future outlook, as of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of The Far East Book exceeded its recoverable amount, determined based on value in use, by $4,780 thousand. As a result, the entire amount of goodwill was written off as an impairment loss during the year.


d. Net cash outflow on acquisition of subsidiaries

The Far East Book Co., Ltd.
Consideration paid in cash $ 61,060
Less: Cash and cash equivalent balances acquired (16,177)
$ 44,883

e. Impact of acquisitions on the results of the Group

The financial results of the acquirees since the acquisition dates, which are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, were as follows:

The Far East Book Co., Ltd.
Revenue $ (316)
Profit $ (4,915)

Had the business combination occurred on the first day of the fiscal year in which the acquisition date falls, the Company's pro forma revenue and net loss for 2024 would have been $4,547 thousand and $10,849 thousand, respectively. However, these amounts do not reflect the actual revenue and operating results that the combined entity would have generated had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the year, and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance.
