INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Chroma ATE Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Chroma ATE Inc. (the “Corporation”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
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 Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation 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 based on our audits and the report of other auditors.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 is stated as follows:
Appropriateness of the Revenue cutoff
The Corporation is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of test instruments applied in power electronic testing solutions, electric vehicle and battery testing solutions as well as customized products. The Corporation has a worldwide sales network with a widely diverse and dispersed customer base, engaging in a high volume of transactions with significant amounts. The timing of revenue recognition varies depending on different commercial terms with customers, resulting in the transfer timing of the promised goods to customers may be different. Therefore, mistakes may occur in the evaluation process, and revenue could be recorded in the incorrect reporting period.
The main audit procedures we performed for the aforementioned matter are as follows:
- We obtained an understanding of, and inspected, the terms of the sales contracts or customer purchase orders to identify the appropriate point of revenue recognition.
- We obtained an understanding of and evaluated the process and related controls over revenue recognition.
- We performed cutoff testing procedures covering a certain period before and after the balance sheet date and inspected relevant supporting documents to determine whether performance obligations had been satisfied, to ensure that revenue was recognized in the correct reporting period, as evidenced by sales terms.
Other Matter
The parent company only financial statements of some investees included in the parent company only financial statements were audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the accompanying parent company only financial statement for investees, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amounts of investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$4,435,581 thousand and NT$4,385,973 thousand, respectively, representing 10% and 13%, respectively, of the total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related shares of profit or loss of associates were NT$655,259 thousand and NT$607,618 thousand, respectively, representing 5% and 10%, respectively, of the profit before income tax.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation'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 Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material 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 parent company only 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:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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.
-
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 Corporation’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 Corporation’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 parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Corporation to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Corporation audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
-
3 -
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 statements 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 parent company only 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 Yi-Wen Wang and Yih-Shin Kao.

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 Corporation shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of 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 Corporation 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 Corporation shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Corporation 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 Corporation as a whole, the Corporation 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.

-
The Corporation shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
-
12 -
- Interest and dividends received by the Corporation shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Corporation 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 in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the parent company only financial statements were authorized for issue, the Corporation is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Corporation'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 parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
b. Basis of preparation
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
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.
When preparing these parent company only financial statements, the Corporation used the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In order for the amounts of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same with the amounts attributable to the owners of the Corporation in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatments between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for using the equity method, the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, the share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and the related equity items, as appropriate, in these parent company only financial statements.
c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
3) 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.
Current liabilities include:
1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; and
3) Liabilities for which the Corporation does not have the substantial right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
d. Foreign currencies
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Corporation’s functional currency (i.e., 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.
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 items denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost is stated at the reporting currency as originally translated from the foreign currency.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments recognized on identifiable assets and liabilities of acquired foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of the Corporation are reclassified to profit or loss.
e. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, semi-finished goods and finished goods, which 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 standard cost and make timely adjustments to ensure that they approximate to weighted-average cost.
- 14 -
f. Investments accounted for using the equity method
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted for by equity method.
Under the equity method, investment in a subsidiary, associates and joint ventures are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Corporation's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary, associates and joint ventures. The Corporation recognizes the changes in the Corporation's share of equity of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.
1) Investment in subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Corporation.
Changes in the Corporation's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the Corporation losing control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The Corporation recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.
When the Corporation's share of loss of a subsidiary exceeds its interest in that subsidiary (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 Corporation's net investment in the subsidiary), the Corporation continues recognizing its share of further loss, if any.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Corporation's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary that constitutes a business at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized.
When the Corporation loses control of a subsidiary, it recognizes the investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between the fair value of the retained investment plus any consideration received and the carrying amount of the previous investment at the date when control is lost is recognized as a gain or loss in profit or loss. Besides this, the Corporation accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required had the Corporation directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
Profit or loss resulting from downstream transactions is eliminated in full only in the parent company only financial statements. Profit and loss resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries is recognized only in the parent company only financial statements and only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Corporation.
2) Investments in associates and joint ventures
An associate is an entity over which the Corporation has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Corporation and other parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Corporation's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate and a joint venture at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized.
- 15 -
When the Corporation subscribes for additional new shares of an associate and a joint venture at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Corporation’s proportionate interest in the associate and joint venture. The Corporation records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. If the Corporation’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the associate and joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee 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.
The Corporation 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 Corporation 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 a group entity transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Corporation’s parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate and the joint venture that are not related to the Corporation.
g. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.
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.
h. Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties include properties under construction that meet the definition of investment properties. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.
- 16 -
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.
i. Goodwill
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is measured at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Corporation’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as “cash-generating units”) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the Corporation disposes of an operation within that unit, the goodwill associated with the operation which is disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal and is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
j. Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. To meet the criteria for the sale being highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to the sale, and the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within 1 year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Such assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated.
k. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Corporation 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 (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
For those financial assets which are measured at fair value, its fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 25.
1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. The Corporation 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.
- 17 -
The Corporation’s financial assets are classified into the following categories:
a) Financial assets at FVTPL
The Corporation’s financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL are 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 which was measured at fair value, and any dividends or interest earned on such financial assets are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses.
b) Financial assets at amortized cost
If the financial assets, which are invested by the Corporation, are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial 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. On derecognition, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is 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.
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.
c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Corporation 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 Corporation’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
- 18 -
2) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Corporation are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
The repurchase of the Corporation’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Corporation’s own equity instruments.
3) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. When 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.
- Assessment of asset impairment
1) Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Corporation reviews the carrying amounts of the above 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 Corporation estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
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.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset or 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.
2) Investments accounted for using the equity method
The Corporation assesses its investment in subsidiaries for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the investee’s financial statements as a whole. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Corporation recognizes a reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.
The entire carrying amount of an investment in associates (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.
- 19 -
3) Goodwill
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then pro rata to the other assets of the unit based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. Any impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
4) Financial assets
The Corporation recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) on each balance sheet date.
The Corporation always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Corporation recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly, the Corporation measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
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.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Corporation considers the following situations as indication that a financial asset is in default:
a) Internal or external information shows that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.
b) Financial asset past the normal credit period unless the Corporation has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.
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.
m. Revenue recognition
The Corporation 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 comes from sales of test instruments and other products. Revenue is recognized when the goods are delivered to the customer's specific location or the goods are shipped because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently. The transaction price received is recognized as a contract liability when performance obligations are satisfied.
The Corporation does not recognize revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of control.
- 20 -
n. Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Corporation assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
1) The Corporation as lessor
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.
2) The Corporation as lessee
The Corporation 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 applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.
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. 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 Corporation uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.
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 future lease payments resulting from a change in a lease term, the Corporation 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. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Corporation accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by (a) decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset of lease modifications that decreased the scope of the lease, and recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss on the partial or full termination of the lease; (b) making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset of all other lease modifications.
For sale and leaseback transactions, if the transfer of an asset satisfies the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale, the Corporation recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss which relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor, and adjusts the off-market terms to measure the sale proceeds at fair value. If the transfer does not satisfy the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale, it is accounted for as a financing transaction.
o. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
- 21 -
Other than those stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
p. 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) and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. 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 represents the actual deficit in the Corporation’s defined benefit plan.
q. Share-based payment arrangements
Restricted shares for employees granted to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value at the grant date of the restricted shares for employees is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Corporation's best estimate of the number of shares or options that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in other equity - unearned employee benefits. The expense is recognized in full at the grant date if the grants are vested immediately.
When restricted shares for employees are issued, other equity - unearned employee benefits is recognized on the grant date, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - restricted shares for employees. If restricted shares for employees are granted for consideration and the considerations received should be returned if employees resign in the vesting period, payables are continuously measured based on its estimated turnover rate for those granted before October 10, 2024 in accordance with the Q&A issued by the FSC. Dividends paid to employees on restricted shares that do not need to be returned if employees resign in the vesting period are recognized as expenses when the dividends are declared with a corresponding adjustment in retained earnings and capital surplus - restricted shares for employees.
At the end of each reporting period, the Corporation revises its estimate of the number of employee share options and restricted shares for employees that are expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expenses reflect the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - restricted shares for employees.
- 22 -
r. Taxation
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss as income tax expense.
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 Act 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 to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the Corporation 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 they 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 liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences based on the manner in which the Corporation expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
- MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Corporation’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.
- 23 -
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value is based on current market conditions and historical experience in the sale of product of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of the net realizable value.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Refer to Table 3 for the detailed information. 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 Corporation's strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

The average credit period for sales of goods is 60 to 120 days from the date. Before accepting any new customer, the Corporation uses the bank's credit investigation or external credit scoring system to assess the potential customer's credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Management will review the credit limit and rating of customers as needed.
The Corporation measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by reference to the past default experience and the current financial position, in which the debtors operate. As the Corporation's historical credit loss experience does not show other factors that matter significantly, the expected credit loss rate is based on the past due status of trade receivables.
The Corporation writes off a trade receivable when there is information 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 Corporation 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 aging schedule of notes receivable and trade receivables based on the past due days was as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Not past due | $ 2,433,247 | $ 1,159,406 |

17. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a. Defined contribution plans
The Corporation adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Corporation in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Corporation contributes amount equal to 4% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee's name. Before the end of year, the Corporation assesses the balances in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Corporation is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the "Bureau"); the Corporation has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

| (Concluded) |
Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Corporation is exposed to the following risks:
1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rates | 1.25%-1.38% | 1.38%-1.50% |
| Expected rates of salary increase | 2.50%-3.75% | 2.50%-3.50% |
If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions occur and all other assumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rates | ||
| 0.25% increase | $ (13,220) | $ (12,724) |
| 0.25% decrease | $ 13,650 | $ 13,152 |
| Expected rates of salary increase | ||
| 0.25% increase | $ 13,130 | $ 12,689 |
| 0.25% decrease | $ (12,787) | $ (12,344) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the changes in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Expected contributions to the plan for the next year | $ 30,000 | $ 30,000 |
| Average duration of the defined benefit obligation | 9.3 years | 9.6 years |

c. Retained earnings and dividends policy
Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), where the Corporation made 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, the Corporation is not required to set aside legal reserve where the legal reserve amounts to the total authorized capital and setting aside or reversing special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Corporation’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for distribution of dividends and bonus to shareholders. For the abovementioned distribution of earnings, the board of directors was authorized to adopt a special resolution to distribute dividends and bonuses in cash and a report of such distribution should be submitted in the shareholders’ meeting. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation of employees and remuneration to directors, refer to d. employees’ compensation of employees and remuneration of directors in Note 20 (d).
Taking into account future capital expenditure requirements and its cash position, the total of cash dividends paid in any given year may not be less than 20% of total dividends distributed in that year. The final amount, type and percentage of the cash dividends and share dividends are subject to actual earnings and capital requirements of the Corporation in a particular year.
The legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Corporation has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Corporation’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
When a special reserve is appropriated for cumulative net debit balance reserves from prior period, the special reserve is only appropriated from the prior unappropriated earnings.

d. Special reserve
If a special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRS Accounting Standards relates to exchange differences on translation of the financial statements of foreign operations (including the subsidiaries of the Corporation), the special reserve of $86,888 thousand will be reversed on a proportionate basis according to the Corporation’s disposal of foreign operations; on the Corporation’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. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and is thereafter distributed.

22. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The earnings and weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings per share are as follows:
Net Profit for the Year
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Earnings used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share | $ 11,692,052 | $ 5,264,251 |
| Shares | (In Thousands of Shares) | |
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share | 422,061 | 421,385 |
| Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares: | ||
| Compensation of employees | 1,879 | 2,139 |
| Employee restricted shares | 1,008 | 1,623 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share | 424,948 | 425,147 |
If the Corporation offered to settle compensation paid to employees in cash or shares, the Corporation assumed the entire amount of the compensation would be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

23. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
Restricted Shares for Employees
In the shareholders' meeting on June 9, 2022, the shareholders approved a Restricted Share Unit Plan ("RSU" Plan) for employees with a total amount of $30,000 thousand, consisting of 3,000 thousand shares with issuance price of $40 dollars per share. It can be issued at one time or several times depending on the circumstance. The RSU Plan was approved under Rule No. 1110346852 issued by the FSC on June 20, 2022. The Corporation issued 2,960 thousand shares on July 1, 2022, the subscription date. The details of RSU Plan are as follows:
a. Employees who are granted RSUs, upon meeting the Corporation’s financial performance and personal performance indicators, are eligible to be vested 10, 20, 30 and 40 percent of the RSUs granted after 1, 2, 3 and 4 years of tenure after the subscription date, respectively.
b. The restrictions on the rights of the employees who are granted RSUs but have not met the vesting conditions are as follows:
1) The employees are not eligible to sell, pledge, transfer, donate or to dispose any RSUs in any form.
2) The employees holding RSUs are entitled to receive dividends and similar purchasing rights to ordinary shares during capital increase. Dividends from RSUs are not restricted during the vesting period and are appropriated to the employees’ personal account from trust account after the dividend distribution date.
3) Before the restricted shares are vested to the employees, the right of attendance, proposal, speech, voting and other rights of shareholders are acted by the custodian.
4) The RSUs should be delivered to trust custodians upon grant date. The employees cannot request for return in any manner before vesting conditions are met.

| Balance on December 31, 2024 | $ 80,530 | $ 538,947 | $ 619,477 |
3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement
a) The fair values of convertible bonds are determined using option pricing models where the significant unobservable input is share price volatility. An increase in the share price volatility used in isolation would result in an increase in the fair value.
b) The fair values of domestic emerging market and unlisted equity securities, both domestically and internationally, as well as open-end beneficiary certificates, are determined using the asset approach and the market approach. Asset approach evaluates the total market value of individual asset and liability of the evaluated target, taking into account the risk factors (lack of marketability, etc.) to estimate the fair value. Market approach refers to the transaction prices in active market of the listed companies engaging in similar business, related price multiplier, transaction and information implied by the transaction price, to arrive at the fair value.
c. Categories of financial instruments

2) The balances included financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which comprise short-term loans, trade payables (including related parties), other payables, long-term loans and guarantee deposits received.
d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Corporation's major financial instruments consist of equity investments, cash and cash equivalents, receivables, long-term and short-term borrowings and trade payables. The Corporation's financial risk management pertains to financial risks relating to the operations of the Corporation, including currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Corporation seeks to identify, evaluate and hedge against market uncertainties to lower the effect of market changes on the Corporation's financial performance.
The Corporation manages foreign exchange risk through setting up of foreign currency deposit bank accounts and through the use of foreign currency directly received from sale to pay for purchases in foreign currency to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation and to achieve a natural hedge effect. The Corporation actively observes the exchange rate information to fully control the foreign currency hedge.
- 47 -
- 48 -
1) Market risk
The Corporation’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in exchange rates (see item (a) below), interest rates (see item (b) below) and price (see item (c) below).
There has been no change to the Corporation’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.
a) Foreign currency risk
The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 28.
Sensitivity analysis
The Corporation was mainly exposed to USD and RMB.
The 5% sensitivity rate is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency-denominated monetary items and their translation at period-end is adjusted for a 5% change in foreign-currency rates. Had the NTD strengthened by 5% against the relevant currency, the pre-tax profit would have decreased by $291,923 thousand and $224,922 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
b) Interest rate risk
The Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds both at fixed and floated interest rates. The Corporation evaluates hedging activities regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite and ensures that the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.
The carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Fair value interest rate risk | ||
| Financial liabilities | $ 59,298 | 94,804 |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | 1,927,707 | 807,467 |
| Financial liabilities | 3,140,000 | 3,329,507 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined on the basis of the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at balance sheet dates. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet dates was outstanding for the whole year. A 50-basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Corporation’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would decrease by $6,061 thousand and $12,610 thousand, respectively.
c) Price risk
The Corporation is exposed to equity price risks mainly arising from the following:
i. Financial assets at FVTOCI (mainly investments in domestic and foreign shares), which are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Corporation does not actively trade these investments.
ii. Financial assets at FVTPL (mainly investments in convertible bonds).
The Corporation manages risk through holding various investment portfolios and having each equity investment to get prior approval from the Corporation’s management.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If prices had been 5% higher, the pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased by $56,485 thousand and $4,027 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair values of financial assets at FVTPL, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased by $57,591 thousand and $60,465 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair values of financial assets at FVTOCI.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Corporation. At the end of the year, the Corporation’s maximum exposure to credit risk is mainly resulted from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.
The Corporation adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
To maintain the quality of trade receivables, the Corporation established operating procedures related to credit risk management to manage credit risks. Risk factors associated with individual customers include a customer’s financial condition, internal credit rating, transaction history, current macroeconomic environment and other items that might affect a customer’s ability to pay.
In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Corporation has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Corporation reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Corporation’s credit risk was significantly reduced. The Corporation writes off trade receivables 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 Corporation continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.
- 49 -
The credit risk of bank deposits, fixed-income financial instruments and other financial instruments are evaluated, managed and controlled by the Corporation's financial department. The Corporation's exposure to credit risk was limited because the Corporation adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties.
3) Liquidity risk
The Corporation manages liquidity risk by managing and maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents to supply the Corporation's demand and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flow. The Corporation continuously monitors the use of credit lines and conformity to loan terms.
The Corporation relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Corporation's available unutilized bank loan facilities were $7,250,000 thousand and $7,060,494 thousand, respectively.
Liquidity and interest risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following tables detail the Corporation's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Corporation can be required to pay.
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 repayment dates.

| Within 1 Year | 1-5 Years | More Than 5 Years | |
| Non-interest bearing | $ 3,700,666 | $ - | $ - |
| Floating interest rate instruments | 1,360,693 | 2,062,560 | - |
| Lease liabilities | 50,594 | 32,630 | 15,433 |
| $ 5,111,953 | $ 2,095,190 | $ 15,433 |
After considering the financial position of the Corporation, management does not expect the banks will execute their rights of requiring the Corporation to repay the bank loans immediately. In addition, management believes the operating funds of the Corporation are sufficient to meet cash flow demand; thus, liquidity risk is not considered significant.
The Corporation's operating funds are sufficient to meet its cash flow demand, as a result, the Corporation does not use its overdraft limit.
