Independent Auditors' Report (113) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 23005068

To Chaintech Technology Corporation:

Audit Opinions

The independent auditors have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chaintech Technology Corporation and subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as "the Group") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies).

In our opinions, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in all material respects, give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) Interpretations, and Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) Interpretations as endorsed and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China (the "FSC").

Basis of Audit Opinion

We conduct the audit work in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the GAAS of Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the section of Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the "Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to serve as the foundation of our audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters refer to matters that, in our professional judgment, are of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statement of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters are addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming out opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate

~5~

opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the consolidated financial statement of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:

Sales revenue cut-off

Description

Regarding the accounting policy for recognition of sales revenues, please refer to Notes 4 (bb) to the consolidated financial statements. For the description of sales revenue, please refer to Note 6 (q). to the consolidated financial statements.

The Group has engaged in the trading and manufacturing of computer peripherals. Sales revenue will not be recognized until customers take the delivery of goods from the warehouse and the transfer control has passed. The Group mainly relies on the statements or other information provided by the depositary of the delivery warehouse, then uses the actual shipment made by the warehouse to the customer as the basis for recognizing the income.

The recognition of the turnover from the warehouse is based on the information and report provided by the depositary as the basis for recognizing the sales revenue. Such revenue recognition generally involves a large number of manual operations. Considering that the volume of the shipments of the Group is large, and the amount of transaction before and after the financial date has a significant impact on the financial statements, the independent auditors have thus listed the sales revenue as the most important matter for this year's audit.

Corresponding audit procedures

We have performed the following key audit procedures for the matter mentioned above:

  1. Understand revenue recognition and adjustment procedures for revenue cut-off for shipment from the depository of warehouse of the Group. Then, inspect the appropriateness of the revenue's recognition from the warehouse, including understanding of the relevant internal control procedures, obtaining information and the statements provided by the depository.

  2. Carry out an internal control test for the sales revenue from the warehouse in order to make sure that the Group determine the sales recognition when the customer receives the delivery of goods and the right of control is transferred.

  3. Perform a closing test for sales revenue from delivery of warehouses for a certain period before and after the balance sheet date, including the verification of shipment certificates and that revenue recognition is recorded in the appropriate period.

~6~

  1. Make an written inquiry into the stock quantity in the warehouse and check if the inventory quantity on the record is correct.

Intangible assets- Goodwill impairment

Description

As of December 31, 2023, the balance of intangible assets -goodwill was $157,524. Please refer to Note IV(XIX) for the accounting policy on impairment assessment of non-financial assets; Please refer to Note V(II) for the estimation and assumption uncertainty in assessment of impairment of non-financial assets; Please refer to Note VI(XI) for the explanation of the assessment of impairment of non-financial assets. To assess whether intangible assets-goodwill are impaired, the Group estimates the future cash flows based on the cash-generating units to which the intangible assets-goodwill belong, and measures the recoverable amount of such cashgenerating units at an appropriate discount rate. As the estimation of future cash flow involves many assumptions that may greatly affect the recoverable amount, we identify the Group's assessment of the goodwill impairment of intangible assets as one of the key audit matters for the year.

Corresponding audit procedures

We have performed the following key audit procedures for the matter mentioned above:

We have carried out the following audit procedures based on the goodwill impairment test report issued by a third-party valuation expert appointed by management:

  1. Assess the expertise, competence, and objectivity of the independent valuation experts appointed by management and verify their qualifications, and discuss with management the scope of work of the valuation experts and review the appointment conditions to verify that no conditions that may affect their objectivity or inhibit their work scope exist, and that the methods used by them are consistent with the IFRSs and industry regulations.

  2. Understand and evaluate the process and the basis where management has made its projections of the growth rate of the future operations in terms of sales and profit margin.

  3. Adopt the evaluation models and important assumptions (including discount rate, etc.) provided by financial experts of our firm, compare the data in assumptions made by management to market and historical data, and check the calculation to ensure the appropriateness of management's judgment.

Other Matters – Parent Company Only Financial Statements

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Chaintech Technology

~7~

Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, for which we have issued the audit report with an unqualified opinion for reference.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers," and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) Interpretations, and Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) Interpretations as endorsed and issued by the FSC, 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, the responsibility of management includes assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing going concern related matters, as well as adopting going concern basis of accounting unless management intends to liquidate the Group or terminate the business, 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.

Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing 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 auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Auditing Standards of Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise from fraud and error. If it could be reasonably anticipated that the misstated individual amounts or aggregated sum could have influence on the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial statements, it will be deemed as material.

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

  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

~8~

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 that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  1. 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.

  2. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made accordingly.

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, determine 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 auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements; or, if such disclosures are inadequate, we are required 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 circumstances may cause the Group to no longer continue as a going concern.

  4. Evaluate the overall expression, structure, and contents of the consolidated financial statements (including related notes) and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  5. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with regard to the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion about the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the 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 the Norm 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

~9~

matters that are of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 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.

  • (I) The original East Chaintech Technology Co., Ltd. was established in November 1986 and was renamed as Chaintech Technology Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") in January 2013.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

(I) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Group in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed and issued by the FSC (the "IFRSs").

(II) Basis of preparation

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

  2. (1) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

  3. (2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  4. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates in accordance with IFRSs. It also requires the management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note V.

~19~

(III) Basis of consolidation

  1. Principles for preparation of consolidated financial statements

  2. (1) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries refer to 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. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

  3. (2) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group have been eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  4. (3) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the noncontrolling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

  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 remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. For all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income, they shall be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

(IV) Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (i.e., 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) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  3. (2) Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon the re-transaction at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.

  4. (3) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign

~23~

currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are retranslated 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 currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • (4) All exchange gains and losses are presented in the earnings statement of profit or loss within "other gains and losses."

  • Translation of foreign operations

  • The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • (1) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are re-translated at the closing exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date;

  • (2) Income and expenses for each composite income sheet are re-translated at the average exchange rates for the period; and

  • (3) All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (4) When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, the cumulative exchange differences that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the non-controlling interests in the foreign operation. However, if the Group still retains partial interests in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.

  • (5) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at balance sheet date.

(V) Standard of assets and liabilities being classified as current and non-current

  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) Assets held mainly for trading purposes.

  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

~24~

those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

Assets that do not meet the aforementioned conditions are classified as non-current.

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

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

  3. (2) Liabilities held mainly for trading purposes.

  4. (3) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date.

  5. (4) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve 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.

Liabilities that do not meet the aforementioned conditions are classified as noncurrent.

(VI) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term investments with high liquidity, which can be easily converted into a fixed amount of cash at any time with minimal risk of value fluctuation. Time deposits that meet the aforementioned definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

(VII) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  1. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss refer to financial assets not measured at amortized cost nor measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  2. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss that follow regular way purchase or sale are recognized by the Group using trade date accounting.

  3. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognizes the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognizes the gain or loss in profit or loss.

  4. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established, and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of dividends can be measured reliably.

(VIII) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  1. Changes in fair value of investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading purpose at initial recognition presented in other comprehensive income; or, financial assets meeting the criteria listed below are classified as debt instrument:

  2. (1) The financial asset is held for the purpose of obtaining the contractual cash flows and the sales of the contract.

  3. (2) Cash flow generated form the said contractual terms of the financial asset at specific date are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

  4. The Group adopts trade date accounting for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  5. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs; the Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value. The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following derecognition of the investment. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established, and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of dividends can be measured reliably.

(IX) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

  1. refers to an asset that meets all of the following conditions:

    • (1) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

    • (2) Cash flow generated form the said contractual terms of the financial asset at specific date are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

  2. The Group adopts trade date accounting for financial assets that follow regular way purchase or sale measured at amortized cost.

  3. The Group measures financial assets at fair value plus transaction cost at initial recognition, and subsequently recognizes interest income and impairment loss during the circulation period using the effective interest method according to the amortization procedure, and recognizes any gains or losses upon derecognition in profit or loss.

  4. (X) Accounts and notes receivable

  5. Accounts receivables and notes receivables are accounts and notes of which the

~26~

contractual right to consideration for goods sold or services rendered is unconditional.

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

(XI) Impairment of financial assets

Considering all reasonable and provable information (including forward-looking information), the Group measures the credit risk that increases insignificantly since original recognition via the 12-month expected credit loss amount through financial debt instrument at fair value through other comprehensive income and accounts receivable containing significant financial components. For those credit risk increasing significantly since original recognition, the allowance loss is measured by the expected amount of credit loss during the existence period; for accounts receivable that do not contain significant financial components, the allowance loss is measured by the amount of expected credit losses during the duration of the period.

(XII) De-recognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the Group's contractual rights to receive cash flows from financial assets are lapsed.

(XIII) Operating leases - lessor

Lease income from operating leases less any incentives given to lessees is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(XIV) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production burden (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in comparing the cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of the completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

(XV) Investments accounted for using equity method - associates

  1. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but has no control. Investments in associates are accounted for using 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, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive

~27~

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 legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

  1. When an associate’s equity changes are not recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate, and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognizes the change in ownership interests in the associate in "capital surplus" in proportion to its ownership.

  2. 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. The accounting policies of related enterprises have been adjusted as necessary, and are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

  3. Where an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group's ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, the "capital surplus" and "investments accounted for using equity method" shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. Where its investment proportion decreases, in addition to the above adjustments, the profit or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income due to decrease in its ownership interest and the profit or loss to be reclassified to profit or loss during the disposal of assets or liabilities shall be reclassified to profit or loss based on the proportion of decrease.

  4. When the Group disposes 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 reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, 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.

(XVI) Property, plant and equipment

  1. Property, plant and equipment are recorded as the foundation of acquisition cost.

  2. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits

~28~

  • associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replacement is de-recognized. All other repairs and maintenance are recognized as current gain or loss when incurred.

    1. Property, plant and equipment apply the cost model. Except for land, other property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. If each component of property, plant and equipment is material, it is depreciated separately.
  • The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets' residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets' future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Machinery and equipment 3 ~ 5 years
Transportation equipment 5 years
Derivative instruments 3 ~ 10 years
Other equipment 2 ~ 10 years

(XVII) Lease transaction in the capacity of a lessee - right-of-use assets/lease liabilities

  1. A right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized for a leased asset on the date when it becomes readily available for the Group's use. When a lease contract is a short-term lease or when it is a lease of which the underlying asset is of low value, lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  2. On the commencement date, the Group measures lease liabilities by the present value of outstanding lease payments, using the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable. In subsequent periods, the Group measures lease liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method and recognizes interest expenses during the lease term. When a change in the lease term or lease payments occurs due to reasons other than lease modifications, lease liabilities are reassessed and the remeasurements are adjusted to the right-of-use assets.

  3. Right-of-use assets are recognized at cost on the lease commencement date. The cost includes: The originally measured amount of lease liabilities. In subsequent

~29~

periods, the Group measures right-of-use assets at cost and recognizes depreciation expenses at the earlier of the end of useful life of right-of-use assets or the end of the lease term. When a lease liability is reassessed, the right-of-use asset is adjusted for any remeasurements of the lease liability.

  1. When a lease modification decreases the scope of a lease, the carrying value of the right-of-use asset is decreased to reflect partial of full termination of the lease liability, and any difference resulting therefrom is immediately recognized in profit or loss.

(XVIII) Intangible assets

  1. Acquired in a business combination, customer relationship is recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Customer relationship is an asset of limited and durable years as amortized over an estimated useful life of 2.7 years on a straightline basis.

  2. Goodwill arises from the difference between the purchase price set in the equity purchase contract and the net identifiable assets.

  3. The computer software is amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 2 ~ 3 years to recognize its cost.

(XIX) Impairment of non-financial assets

  1. The Group assesses on 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Except for goodwill, When circumstances contributed to the recognition of impairment loss of an asset in the previous period do not exist or are decreased, the recognized impairment loss is reversed to the carrying amount of an asset to the extent that it does not exceed the carrying amount (net of depreciation and amortization) if the impairment loss had not been recognized.

  2. The recoverable amount of goodwill shall be evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss should not be reversed in the future.

  3. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business merger is allocated to each of the cash-generating units. This allocation is based on the judgment of the operating units and the goodwill is allocated among cash-generating units or groups that are expected to benefit from goodwill generated in corporate mergers.

~30~

(XX) Borrowings

Borrowings refer to short-term loans from banks. The initial recognition of loans measured at fair value less transaction cost. Any subsequent difference between the price and the redemption value after deducting the transaction cost shall be recognized as interest expense in gain and loss by applying amortization procedure of effective interest method during the circulation period.

(XXI) Accounts and notes payable

  1. Accounts and notes payable refers to the debts incurred by purchase of materials, goods, or services on credit, and the notes payable incurred by both operating and non-operating activities.

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

(XXII) De-recognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

(XXIII) Offset of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount 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.

(XXIV) Employee benefits

  1. Short-term employee benefits

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

  3. Pension For the defined contribution plan, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual foundation.

  4. Employees' compensation and directors' remuneration Employees' compensation and directors' remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the

~31~

resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.

(XXV) Income tax

  1. Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in gain 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 expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country domicile where the Group operates and generates taxable income. The management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities are recorded in tax liability. Undistributed earnings are subject to income tax credit. After the distribution of earnings is approved by the shareholders' meeting in the following year, the Group shall recognize the distribution of earnings and expenses, and recognize the earnings and expenses for the actual earnings.

  3. Deferred income tax adopts the balance sheet approach, and is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax is not recognized, if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable income (loss) and arises no equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by 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 assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized

~32~

amounts and there is 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.

(XXVI) Share capital

  1. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The incremental cost directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options is deducted from the equity in equity after deducting the income tax.

  2. When the Company bought back the issued stocks, the consideration paid includes any incremental costs that are directly attributable to the incremental costs, net of any directly attributable incremental costs. When the shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between the consideration received net of any directly attributable incremental costs and the carrying amount is recorded in the adjustment of stockholder's equity.

(XXVII) Dividend distribution

Dividends are recognized in the Company's financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company's shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities. Stock dividends are recognized as stock dividends to be distributed and transferred to ordinary shares on the base date of issuance of new shares.

(XXVIII) Revenue recognition

  1. Sales of goods

  2. (1) The Group manufactures and sells products related to motherboards, display cards, and computer peripherals. The sales revenue is recognized when the control of the products is transferred to customers. That is, when the product is delivered to the customer, the customer has discretion in the access and price of the product, and the Group has no outstanding performance obligations that may affect the customer's acceptance of the product. When the product is shipped to a designated location, the risk of obsolete and lost risks has been transferred to the customer, and the customer is required to obtain the products in accordance with the sales contract, or when there is objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been met, the goods are delivered.

  3. (2) Sales revenue is recognized the net amount of contract price minus estimated sales allowance. The amount of revenue recognition is limited to the extent that it is very unlikely to see a significant reversal in the future, and is updated on

~33~

the balance sheet date. The terms of sales transactions are mainly due to the expiry of 30 to 90 days after the transfer date. It is consistent with the market practice. Therefore, it is judged that the contact does not contain significant financial component.

  • (3) Accounts receivable are recognized when the control right of commodities is transferred to the customs; that is because the Group has unconditional rights to the contract price since that point in time, and the Group can collect the consideration from the customer once upon the contractual time is expired.

  • Labor revenue

The Group provides services related to research and development. Labor revenue is recognized as revenue at a certain point in time in which the services are rendered to customers.

  1. Service revenue

The Group provides management services for internet data. Service revenue is recognized as revenue in the reporting period in which the services are rendered to customers.

  1. Financial composition

  2. The duration of commitment to transfer commodities or services to customer and the payment period in the contracts between the Group and customers are all less than one year. Therefore, the Group has not adjusted the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

  3. Costs to acquire contracts from customers

The Group recognizes the incremental costs incurred in the contracts with the customers and that are expected to be recoverable. However, such costs are recognized in expense as incurred since the contracts are less than one year.

(XXIX) Business combinations

  1. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. For each business acquisition case, the Group measures the components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets

~34~

in the event of liquidation at either acquisition-date fair value or the ratio of noncontrolling interests to the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. All other components of non-controlling interests shall be measured at acquisition-date fair value.

  1. If the aggregate of (i) the value of consideration transferred, (ii) the amount of noncontrolling interests, and (iii) the fair value of the acquirer's previously-held equity interest in the acquiree exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the difference is recognized as goodwill on the acquisition date. If the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the aggregate of (i) the value of consideration transferred, (ii) the amount of noncontrolling interests, and (iii) the fair value of the acquirer's previously-held equity interest in the acquiree, the difference is recognized as profit or loss on the acquisition date.

(XXX) Government grants

Government grants are recognized at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants to compensate the Group’s expense are recognized as profit or loss on a systematic basis when the expense occurs.

(XXXI) Operating segments

The Group's operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal management reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources to the operating segments and assessing the performance of the Group, has been identified as the members of the Board of Directors.

V. Significant Accounting Judgments and Sources of Estimation and Assumption Uncertainty

The preparation of the Group's financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events according to the conditions on balance sheet date. Material accounting assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such estimates and assumptions possess a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Uncertainties in material accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions are addressed below:

(I) Significant judgments adopted by accounting policies

None.

~35~

(II) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

Assessment of goodwill impairment

The assessment of goodwill impairment relies on the Group’s subjective judgment, including identifying cash-generating units and the allocation of assets and liabilities and intangible assets to the relevant cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amount of the relevant cash-generating units. For more information on the assessment of goodwill impairment, please refer to Note VI(XI).

  1. On January 21, 2020, the Board of Directors resolved to pass the investment in uSenlight Corporation, and acquire a 13.70% equity interest in uSenlight Corporation at the amount of NT$150,000 in April 2020. As the Group has significant influence on uSenlight Corporation in terms of business decision-making, such investment is accounted for using equity method. As of December 31, 2023, the Group held a 6.13% equity interest in uSenlight Corporation, making the Group its single largest shareholder. As the other two largest shareholders (not the Group's related parties) held more than the Group’s shares, the Group had no ability to direct the relevant business activities of uSenlight Corporation. Accordingly, the Group had significant influence but had no control over uSenlight Corporation.

  • (1) uSenlight Corporation compensated for losses due to capital reduction and issued new shares for capital increase in 2022. However, the Company did not subscribe according to the shareholding ratio, resulting in our shareholding ratio decreasing from 13.05% to 6.13%. Additionally, the Company has made a full reduction on the loss of $97,765 to the book amount of $0 for the investment target in 2021, and we do not intend to continue supporting uSenlight Corporation in the future.

Price risk

  • A. The Group's equity instruments exposed to price risk are financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage the price risk of investments in equity instruments, the Group diversifies its portfolio with its diversification method based on limits set by the Group.

  • B. The Group primarily invests in equity instruments and beneficiary certificates issued by domestic companies, and the price of such equity instruments is affected by the uncertainty of the future value of the investment target. If the prices of these equity instruments increase or decrease by 1%, with all other factors remaining unchanged, profit after tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 will increase or decrease by NT$346 and NT$1,155, respectively due to the gain or loss on equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss, and other comprehensive income for the years then ended will increase or decrease by NT$2,273 and NT$1,424, respectively due to the gain or loss on equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • A. The Group's interest rate risk arises primarily from short-term borrowings issued at variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group's borrowings issued at variable rates were mainly denominated in NTD, USD and RMB.

  • B. The Group's borrowings are measured at amortized cost and are re-priced at the contract annual rate every year. Therefore, the Group is exposed to the risk of changes in future market interest rates.

~67~

  • C. If the NTD, USD and RMB borrowing interest rate increases/decreases by 1%, with all other variables held constant, profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 will decrease or increase by NT$1,574 and NT$1,164, respectively. Changes in interest expense mainly result from floating-rate borrowings.

  • (2) Credit risk

  • A. The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to the risk of financial loss from customers or the counterparty of financial instruments who are unable to fulfill the contract obligation. That credit risk is mainly from the fact that the counterparty is unable to pay off the accounts receivable payable on the terms of the payment and debt instruments classified as amortized cost being measured based on contract cash flows.

  • B. The Group has established credit risk management in the Group's corporate policy. For banks and financial institutions, only those with good credit rating can be accepted as our transaction counterparties. In accordance with the internal defined credit policy, the Group's operating entities and each new customer shall be subject to the management and credit risk analysis before making payment and delivery of the agreed payment and delivery. Internal risk control is evaluated by considering its financial position, historical experience and other factors to assess the credit quality of customers. Limits on individual risks are formulated by the Board of Directors based on internal or external ratings and regularly monitored by the Board of Directors.

  • C. The Group adopts credit risk management procedures to make assumptions except that the contract amount is overdue for more than 90120 days in accordance with the agreed payment terms, it is regarded that a default has taken place.

  • D. The Group adopts credit risk management procedures to make the following assumptions as to whether the credit risk on financial instruments since initial recognition has increased by the following:

    • (A) When the contract amount is overdue for more than 30 days in accordance with the agreed payment terms, the credit risk has been significantly increased since the original recognition of the financial assets.

    • (B) There are actual or expected significant changes in external credit ratings of financial instruments.

  • E. The Group will group the customer's accounts receivable based on the

~68~

characteristics of the customer's rating and customer type, and use the simplified method to estimate the expected credit loss based on the preparation matrix.

F. The Group conducts individual assessments for accounts receivable that have already defaulted, taking into account the collection status after the reporting period, and recognizes a provision for loss allowance of 0% to 30%. The remainder is estimated based on our credit conditions and forward-looking considerations to adjust the loss rate established by historical and current information for a specific period so as to estimate the allowance loss for accounts receivable by the said loss rate. The provision matrix as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

  • B. The surplus cash held by each operating entity will be transferred back to the Group's finance department when it exceeds the management needs of the working capital.

  • C. The following tables detail the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities grouped by the maturity date.

(III) Fair value information

  1. 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:

~70~

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at 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 listed stocks is of Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group's investment in equity investment without active markets is of Level 3.

  • For financial instruments not measured at fair value, including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost, notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable (including related parties), and other payables, their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

  • The related information of 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:

  • (1) The Group classifies its assets and liabilities according to their nature; the information is as follows:

  • (2) Methods and assumptions used by the Group to measure the fair value are as follows:

  • A. The instruments that the Group uses market-quoted prices as their fair values (i.e. Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:

Stocks of publicly quoted entity Beneficiary certificates Quoted market price Closing market prices Net Value

Beneficiary Stocks of publicly quoted entity certificates

Quoted market price Closing market prices Net Value

  • B. In addition to the aforementioned financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is obtained by means of evaluation techniques or reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value obtained through evaluation techniques can refer to the current fair value of other substantial financial instruments with similar conditions and characteristics, discounted cash flow method or other evaluation techniques, including calculations based on the market information utilization model available on the date of the consolidated balance sheets (e.g., the reference yield curve offered by Taipei Exchange or the average offer price of Reuters commercial paper interest rate).

  • C. The valuation of derivative instruments is based on the valuation model that is widely accepted by market users, such as the discount method. Structured interest rate derivatives are valued by the estimation of future cash flows at contractual interest rates.

  • D. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group's financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value of the evaluation model will be adjusted according to additional parameters,

~72~

such as model risk or liquidity risk. According to the Group's fair value evaluation model management policy and related control procedures, the management believes that the adjustment is appropriate and necessary to recognize the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheet. The price information and parameter used in the valuation process are carefully evaluated and adjusted appropriately based on current market conditions.

E. The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group's credit quality.

  1. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

  2. The following chart indicates the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

  1. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3.

  2. The finance department of the Group is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable, and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing backtesting, updating inputs used to the valuation model, and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.

  3. Quantitative information and sensitivity analysis of significant unobservable inputs to the valuation models used in the valuation models for Level 3 fair value measurement and the sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs are as follows:
