Independent Auditors' Report (113) Financial Review Report No. 23004479

To CMC Magnetics Corporation:

Opinion

We have reviewed the accompanying parent company alone balance sheets of CMC Magnetics Corporation (the “Company”) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the relevant parent company alone statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2023, and relevant notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies “(collectively referred to as the parent company only financial statements)”.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its standalone financial performance and its standalone cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2023 in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers based on our audit results and the audit reports of other certified public accountants (CPAs)(refer to the section of “Other matters”).

Basis for Audit Opinion

The auditor has conducted the audit work in accordance with the Rules for Auditing Certified Financial Statements and the Auditing Standards of the Republic of China. The auditor's responsibilities under these standards will be further explained in the section on the auditor's responsibility for auditing the individual financial statements. The personnel of the firm to which the auditor belongs, in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, maintain independence from CMC Magnetics Corporation and fulfill other responsibilities under that code. Based on the auditor's audit findings and the audit reports of other auditors, the auditor believes that sufficient and appropriate audit evidence has been obtained to serve as a basis for expressing the audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

The key audit matters refer to the matters that, in the professional judgment of the auditor, are of most significance in the audit of the individual financial statements of CMC Magnetics Corporation for the year 2023. These matters have been addressed in the overall audit of the individual financial statements and in the process of forming the audit opinion. The auditor does not express a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements of the Company for the year ended 2023 are stated as follows:

Accounting estimation of inventory valuation

Description

Refer to Note 4 (13) to the parent company only financial statements for accounting policies regarding inventory valuation; Note 5 (2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions regarding inventory valuation; and Note 6 (6) for details of inventory accounting titles.

CMC Magnetics Corporation mainly manufactures and sells optical discs. Due to frequent market price fluctuations in such inventories, there is a higher risk of inventory valuation losses. CMC Magnetics Corporation's inventory holds a significant monetary value and includes many items that require manual judgment for determining obsolescence. Therefore, we have listed the estimate of CMC Magnetics Corporation's allowance for inventory valuation losses as one of the key audit matters for the current year.

~3~

Corresponding audit procedures

This matter covers the Company and some of its subsidiaries (investments accounted for using the equity method). Our major audit procedures executed are as follows:

  1. Assess the policy adopted for its allowance for valuation loss on its inventories based on the understanding of the Company's operations and the nature of the industry.

  2. Test whether the basis for the net realizable value is consistent with the policies set by the Company, and randomly inspect the correctness of the selling prices of individual inventory part numbers and the way the net realized value is calculated.

  3. Acquire obsolete inventory details that have been identified and approved by the management, inspect the relevant information and verify it based on the records in the account.

Evaluation of impairment of property, factories and equipment

Description

For the accounting policies for impairment of property, factories and equipment and non-financial assets, please refer to Notes 4 (15) and 4 (20) of the parent company only financial statements; for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions for impairment of property, factories and equipment, please refer to Note 5 (2) of the parent company only financial statements; for the description of impairment accounting items of property, factories and equipment and non-financial assets, please refer to Notes 6 (8) and 6 (12) of the parent company only financial statements.

CMC Magnetics Corporation evaluates the recoverable amount of its real estate, factories, and equipment based on their utility value, which serves as the basis for impairment assessment. Since the evaluation of utility value involves judgment by management, any changes in estimates due to changes in economic conditions or company strategies may result in impairment in the future. Therefore, the auditor has identified the impairment assessment of CMC Magnetics Corporation's real estate, factories, and equipment as one of the key audit matters for the current year.

Corresponding audit procedures

This matter covers the Company and some of its subsidiaries (investments accounted for using the equity method). Our major audit procedures executed are as follows:

  1. Recalculate relevant amounts to check the correctness of the management's relevant calculations of the recoverable amount of assets with signs of impairment at the balance sheet date.

  2. Understand and evaluate whether the Company’s asset impairment assessment procedures and accounting policies are consistent with accounting principles and adopted consistently, including methods used by management to determine the recoverable amount of individual assets.

  3. Obtain the evaluation information used by the management to determine the recoverable amount based on the asset usage model and industry characteristics, evaluate and determine the reasonableness of the independent cash flow of the asset group, the useful life of the asset, and the possible future income and expenses.

Other Matters – Audits by other CPAs

The financial statements of the investee companies accounted for using the equity method in the individual financial statements of the Company have not been audited by our auditors, but rather by other auditors. Therefore, in our opinion on the aforementioned individual financial statements, the amounts presented in the financial statements of those companies are based on the audit reports of the other auditors. The investment amounts in the aforementioned companies accounted for using the equity method as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were NT$1,876,364 thousand and NT$2,130,931 thousand, respectively, representing 7.79% and 9.65% of the total assets. The comprehensive losses

~4~

recognized for the aforementioned companies from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 and from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 were NT$233,161 thousand and NT$387,858 thousand, respectively, representing (12.06%) and 51.04% of the total comprehensive income.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

The responsibilities of the management are to prepare the parent company only financial statements with fair presentation in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and to maintain necessary internal control associated with the preparation in order to ensure that the financial statements are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Company in continuing as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Company or cease the operations without other viable alternatives.

The governance bodies of the Company (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

The purpose of the auditor's examination of the individual financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not absolute assurance, since the audit work performed in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China cannot guarantee that all material misstatements caused by fraud or error will be detected. Material misstatements may arise from fraud or error. If the individual amounts or total amounts of misstatements are reasonably expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the individual financial statements, they are considered to be material.

The auditor conducted the audit in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China, using professional judgment and skepticism. The auditor also performed the following tasks:

  1. Identify and evaluate the significant risks of material misstatement in the individual financial statements arising from fraud or error; design and implement appropriate responses to the assessed risks; and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as a basis for the audit opinion. Due to the possibility of fraud involving collusion, forgery, intentional omission, false representations, or override of internal controls, the risk of material misstatement arising from fraud is higher than that arising from error.

  2. Understand the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, while not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by the management.

  4. Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclusions are drawn regarding the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern accounting basis and the existence of significant uncertainties that may cast doubt on the ability of the Company to continue operating. If the auditor determines that such uncertainties exist, they must alert users of the individual financial statements in the audit report to the relevant disclosures or modify the audit opinion if the

~5~

disclosures are deemed inappropriate. The auditor's conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the audit report. However, future events or circumstances may lead to the Company no longer having the ability to continue operating.

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the parent company only financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements adequately present the relevant transactions and events.

  2. Sufficient and appropriate audit evidence has been obtained regarding the financial information of the individual components within the Company to express an opinion on the individual financial statements. The accountant is responsible for guiding, supervising, and executing the individual audit cases, and is responsible for forming the audit opinion on the individual financial statements.

The matters communicated between us and the governance bodies include the planned scope and times of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit).

We also provided governance bodies with a declaration that we have complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China regarding independence, and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that may possibly be regarded as detrimental to our independence (including relevant protective measures).

Based on the matters communicated with the governance unit, the auditor has determined the key audit matters for the audit of the individual financial statements of the Company for the 2023 year. The auditor shall disclose such matters in the audit report, unless prohibited by law or in extremely rare circumstances where the auditor determines that communicating specific matters in the audit report would be expected to outweigh the public interest.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The main accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this individual financial report are described as follows. Unless otherwise stated, these policies are consistently applied throughout the reporting period.

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

  • 1) Except for the following significant items, the parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis:

~14~

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

  - b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  - c) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
  • 2) The preparation of financial statements has been in conformity with IFRSs endorsedbythe FSC, requiring the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

  • c.

Foreign currency translation

The items listed in our financial report are measured in the currency of the main economic environment in which we operate (i.e., functional currency). Our individual financial report is presented in our functional currency, the NT$.

  • 1) Foreign currency transactions and balances

  • a) Foreign currency transactions are converted into the functional currency using the spot exchange rate on the transaction date or measurement date. Any exchange differences arising from these transactions are recognized in the current period's income statement.

  • b) Balances of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses arising from such adjustments are recognized in profit or loss

  • c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value through profit or loss, are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, where their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, where 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 initial transaction dates.

  • d) All other foreign exchange gains or losses based on the nature of the transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income in the category of "other gains and losses."

  • 2) Translation of foreign operations

  • a) The operating results and financial positions of all the Company's entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

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

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

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

~15~

  • b) When a portion of a foreign operating entity is disposed of or sold and it is an affiliated enterprise, the exchange differences under other comprehensive income will be reclassified proportionally under current income as part of the gain or loss from the sale. However, if the Company still retains partial equity in the former affiliated enterprise but has lost significant influence over the foreign operating entity, the entire equity of the foreign operating entity will be treated as disposed of.

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

d.

Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities

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

  • a) Assets that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle.

  • b) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading.

  • c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date.

  • b) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading.

  • c) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  • d) The deadline for repayment cannot be unconditionally extended to at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. If the terms of the debt allow the counterparty to choose, the repayment can be made through the issuance of equity instruments without affecting its classification.

The Company classifies liabilities not meeting the aforesaid criteria into non-current liabilities.

e.

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to investments that are short-term, highly liquid, subject to a low risk of changes in value, and readily convertible to a known amount of cash. Time deposits which satisfy the above definition and for which the objective of holding is to meet the short-term operating cash commitments are classified as cash equivalents.

f.

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

  • 1) Financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).

  • 2) Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets at FVTPL are accounted for on the account date.

  • 3) The Company's initial recognition is on a fair value basis, with relevant transaction costs recognized in profit or loss, and subsequently to fair value, and gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.

~16~

  • 4) When the right to receive dividends is established, the future economic benefits related to dividends may flow to the Company, and when the amount of dividends can be reliably measured, the Company recognizes dividend income in profit or loss.

  • g.

Financial assets at FVTOCI

  • 1) Refers to the irrevocable election made at initial recognition that allows the Company to present fair value changes of equity investment not held for trading in other comprehensive income; or debt investment that meets all the criteria simultaneously:

    • a) The objective of the Company’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets.

    • b) The contract terms of the financial asset generate cash flow on a specific date, which is entirely the interest on the payment of the principal and the amount of principal outstanding.

  • 2) The Company's financial assets measured at FVTOCI in accordance with trading conventions, are accounted for on the trade date.

  • 3) At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs, and subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:

    • a) Fair value changes of equity instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall not be reclassified to profit or loss, but transferred to retained earnings. When the right to receive dividends is established, and it is probable that the economic benefits related to the dividends will flow in, and the amount of dividends can be reliably measured, the Company recognizes dividend income in profit or loss.

    • b) The changes in fair value of debt instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income. Before derecognition, impairment loss, interest revenue, and gain or loss on foreign exchange are recognized in profit or loss. Upon derecognition, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

  • h. Financial assets at amortized cost

  • 1) Financial assets at amortized cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:

    • a) The objective of the Company's business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

    • b) The contract terms of the financial asset generate cash flow on a specific date, which is entirely the interest on the payment of the principal and the amount of principal outstanding.

  • 2) The Company accounts for financial assets measured at amortized cost, which are in line with trade practices on the trade day.

  • 3) At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs, and subsequently adopts the effective interest method to recognize said assets as interest revenue and as impairment loss during the outstanding period according to the amortization procedure. During derecognition, the gains or losses are recognized in the profit or loss.

  • 4) The Company’s time deposits which do not meet the condition of cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

~17~

i. Accounts receivable and notes receivable

  • 1) Account receivable and notes receivable are accounts and notes of which the contractual right to consideration for goods sold or services rendered is unconditional.

  • 2) These include interest-free short-term account and notes receivables, where the effect of discounting is not material, and the Company measures the receivable by the original invoice amount.

  • 3) The Company’s operating pattern of account receivable that are expected to be factored is for the purpose of selling, and the account receivable are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes in fair value, recognized in profit or loss.

  • j. Impairment of financial assets

The Company, at each balance sheet date, considers all reasonable and corroborative information (including forward- looking one) based on the account receivable that contains significant financial components. For those with no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured at 12-month expected credit losses; for those with a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured at the lifetime expected credit losses. For account receivable that does not contain significant financial components, the loss allowance is measured at the lifetime expected credit losses.

k. Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

  • 1) The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

  • 2) The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred, and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred.

  • 3) The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; and the control over the financial asset has not been retained.

  • l. Lease Transactions of the Lessor - Accounts Receivable from Leases/Operating Leases

  • 1) According to the conditions of the lease agreement, when almost all risks and rewards of ownership are assumed by the lessee, it is classified as a finance lease.

    • a) At the commencement of the lease, the total lease investment amount (including the original direct costs) is recognized as 'accounts receivable from leases', and the difference between the total accounts receivable from leases and the present value is recognized as 'unearned financing income from finance leases'.

    • b) Subsequently, the financing income will be allocated over the lease term on a systematic and reasonable basis to reflect the lessor's fixed rate of return on net investment in the lease.

    • c) Lease payments related to the period (excluding service costs) are deducted from the total lease investment to reduce principal and unearned financing income.

  • 2) Rental income from operating leases, net of any incentives provided to lessees, is recognized as current period profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

m. Inventories

Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost calculated using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, and production-related manufacturing expenses

~18~

(allocated based on normal production capacity), but does not include borrowing costs. When comparing cost and net realizable value, the item-by-item comparison method is used, where net realizable value refers to the estimated selling price during normal business operations minus the estimated costs still to be incurred to complete the product and the estimated costs required to sell the product.

  • n.

Investments accounted for using the equity method/subsidiaries and associates

  • 1) A subsidiary refers to an entity under the control of the Company. When the Company is exposed to variable returns from the participation in the entity or is entitled to said variable returns, and has the ability to affect such returns through its power over the entity, the Company controls the entity.

  • 2) The unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been adjusted as necessary to align with the policies adopted by the Company.

  • 3) The Company recognizes the profit or loss attributable to the subsidiary as current profit or loss, and recognizes the other comprehensive income attributable to the subsidiary as other comprehensive income. If the Company's recognized loss attributable to the subsidiary equals or exceeds the equity in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognize the loss based on its ownership percentage.

  • 4) If changes in the shareholding of a subsidiary do not result in loss of control (and are not transactions involving non-controlling interests), they are treated as equity transactions, meaning they are considered transactions between the owners. The difference between the adjustment amount of non-controlling interests and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is directly recognized as equity.

  • 5) When the Company loses control over a subsidiary, the remaining investment in the former subsidiary is remeasured at fair value and recognized as the fair value of the original recognized financial asset or the cost of the original recognized investment in an associated enterprise or joint venture. The difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in the current period's income. For all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary, the accounting treatment is the same as when the Company directly disposes of the related assets or liabilities, i.e., if the previously recognized benefit or loss was recognized in other comprehensive income, it will be reclassified to income when disposing of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, when control over a subsidiary is lost, the benefit or loss will be reclassified from equity to income.

  • 6) Associated companies refer to entities that have a significant influence on the Company without control, usually through direct or indirect ownership of more than 20% of the voting rights. The Company accounts for investments in associated companies using the equity method, recognizing them at cost upon acquisition.

  • 7) The Company recognizes the profit or loss share of the affiliated enterprises acquired as current profit or loss, and the other comprehensive income share acquired as other comprehensive income. If the Company's loss share in any affiliated enterprise equals or exceeds its equity in that affiliated enterprise (including any other unsecured receivables), the Company does not recognize any further losses, unless the Company has incurred legal obligations, presumed obligations, or has made payments on behalf of the affiliated enterprise.

  • 8) When changes in an associate's equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Company's ownership percentage of the associate, the Company recognizes the change in ownership

~19~

interests in the associate in "capital surplus" in proportion to its ownership.

  • 9) The unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions between the Company and its affiliated enterprises have been eliminated in proportion to their equity interests in the affiliated enterprises. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless evidence indicates impairment of the assets transferred in the transactions. The accounting policies of the affiliated enterprises have been adjusted as necessary and are consistent with those adopted by the Company.

  • 10) When an associated company issues new shares, if our company does not subscribe or acquire them in proportion, resulting in a significant impact on our investment ratio, the adjustment to the net equity of the shares is made in the 'capital surplus' and 'investment accounted for using the equity method'. If the decrease in the investment ratio leads to a decrease in the ownership equity related to previously recognized gains or losses in other comprehensive income, and those gains or losses need to be reclassified to income when disposing of related assets or liabilities, they should be reclassified to income based on the decrease in the ratio.

  • 11) Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Company shall remeasure the remaining investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

  • 12) When the company disposes of an associated enterprise and loses significant influence over it, the accounting treatment for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to that associated enterprise will be the same as if the company were directly disposing of the related assets or liabilities. In other words, if profits or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified as gains or losses upon disposal of related assets or liabilities, then when significant influence over the associated enterprise is lost, those profits or losses will be reclassified from equity to income. If the company still has significant influence over the associated enterprise, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income will only be proportionately transferred out according to the above method.

  • 13) When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, said amounts are transferred to profit or loss in proportion to the percentage of disposal.

  • 14) In accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the current profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the parent company only financial statements shall be the same as those attributable to the owners of the parent company in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis. The owners’ equity in the parent company only financial statements shall be the same as the equity attributable to owners of the parent company in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis.

  • o.

Property, plant and equipment

  • 1) Property, factories, and equipment are initially recognized in cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

  • 2) Subsequent costs are only included in the book value of assets or recognized as separate assets when they are likely to flow into the company in relation to the project's future economic benefits and when the costs of the project can be reliably measured. The book value of the reset portion should be excluded. All other maintenance expenses are recognized as current expenses when incurred.

~20~

  • 3) Real estate, factory buildings, and equipment are measured using the cost model. Depreciation is not recorded for land, but is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life for other assets. If the components of real estate, factory buildings, and equipment are significant, depreciation is recorded separately.

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

    • Buildings and structures 2–50 years Machinery and equipment 2–11 years Others 2–5 years
  • p. Lease transactions with lessees—right-of-use assets / lease liabilities

  • 1) Leased assets are recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the date they are available for use by the Company. When a lease contract is classified as a short-term lease or involves assets with low value, lease payments are recognized as expenses over the lease term using the straight-line method.

  • 2) Lease liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date at the present value of lease payments not yet paid, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate of the Company. Lease payments are fixed payments, excluding any lease incentives receivable. Subsequently, the interest method is used to measure the lease liabilities at amortized cost. Interest expense is recognized over the lease term. When changes in lease term or lease payments are not due to contract modifications, the lease liabilities are reassessed, and the right-of-use assets are adjusted for the re-measurement amount.

  • 3) The right-of-use asset is recognized at cost at the lease commencement date. The cost comprises:

    • a) The originally measured amount of lease liabilities; and

    • b) Lease payments made at or before the commencement of the lease;

    • c) Any original direct costs incurred; and

    • d) The estimated cost of dismantling, removing an underlying asset, and restoring its location, or restoring the underlying asset to the state required in the terms and conditions of the lease.

Any depreciation expense shall be recognized when the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term expires, whichever is earlier, based on the subsequent cost model. Any re-measurement amount of the lease liability shall adjust the right-of-use asset upon revaluation of the lease liability.

  • q.

Investment property

Investment properties are recognized at cost and subsequently measured using the cost model. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 2 to 50 years, for all investment properties except land.

~21~

r. Intangible assets

  • 1) Trademark and Patent Rights

The cost of separately acquired trademarks and patents is recognized as an acquisition cost. The trademarks and patents acquired through business mergers are recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date. Trademarks and patents are finite-lived assets and are amortized over the remaining useful life of 4 to 10 years using the straight-line method.

  • 2) The royalties paid for obtaining the patents are amortized based on the estimated useful years or the contract period.

  • 3) Computer software is recognized at the cost of acquisition and amortized by the straightline method based on the estimated useful life of one year.

  • s.

Other assets - office ornaments (listed in other non-current assets-others)

Antiques purchased, such as oil paintings and sculptures displayed in the company, are recognized at the cost of acquisition, and is not depreciated; however, the cost will be written off when the actual disposal is carried out.

  • t.

Impairment of non-financial assets

  • 1) On the balance sheet date, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of assets with impairment indicators. When the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized. The recoverable amount refers to the higher of the fair value less disposal costs or the value in use of an asset. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances that led to the recognition of asset impairment in previous years no longer exist or have decreased, the impairment loss is reversed. However, the increase in the carrying amount of the asset resulting from the reversal of the impairment loss does not exceed the asset's carrying amount after deducting depreciation or amortization if no impairment loss had been recognized.

  • 2) Goodwill, indefinite useful life intangible assets, and intangible assets not yet available for use should be periodically assessed for their recoverable amounts. When the recoverable amount is lower than their carrying value, impairment losses are recognized. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed in subsequent years.

  • 3) For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units. This allocation is based on the identification by operating segments, distributing goodwill to cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units expected to benefit from the entity generating the goodwill.

  • u.

Borrowings

  • 1) When the initial recognition of Company's borrowings is based on its fair value less transaction cost, for any subsequent difference between the price and redemption value after deducting transaction costs, interest expenses are recognized by the effective interest method during the outstanding period in profit or loss.

  • 2) Fees paid on the establishment of borrowing facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the borrowing to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. When there is no evidence of the possibility that some or all the facility will be drawn down, the fee is recognized as a prepayment and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

  • v.

Accounts and notes payables

  • 1) Account and notes payables refer to the debts incurred by purchase of raw materials, goods, or services on credit, and the notes payables incurred from both operating and nonoperating activities.

~22~

  • 2) The non-interest-bearing short-term notes and Account payables are measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

w. Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation under the contract is performed, canceled, or expires.

x. Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

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

y. Non-hedging derivatives

Non-hedging derivatives are initially measured at the fair value on the date when a contract is signed and recognized as financial assets or liabilities at FVTPL. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss.

  • z. Employee benefits

  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid and shall be recognized as expense in the period when the employees render service.

  • 2) Pension

  • a) Defined contribution plans

For the determination of the allocation plan, the amount of retirement funds to be allocated shall be recognized as the current retirement cost based on the occurrence of rights and responsibilities. Prepaid contributions shall be recognized as assets within the scope of refundable cash or reduction of future benefits.

  • b) Defined benefit plans

  • i. Under the defined benefit plan, the net obligation is determined by discounting the future welfare amount earned by employees in the current or past service, and subtracting the fair value of plan assets as of the balance sheet date from the present value of the defined benefit obligation. The net obligation under the defined benefit plan is calculated annually using the projected unit credit method by an actuary, and the discount rate is determined by referencing the market yield of high-quality corporate bonds that have the same currency and term as the balance sheet date and the defined benefit plan; in countries where there is no deep market for high-quality corporate bonds, the market yield of government bonds (as of the balance sheet date) is used.

  • ii. The remeasurement amount generated by the defined benefit plan is recognized in other comprehensive income in the current period and presented in retained earnings.

  • iii. Expenses related to past service costs are immediately recognized in profit or loss.

~23~

3) Termination benefits

The termination benefits are provided to employees upon the termination of their employment before the normal retirement date or when employees decide to accept the company's offer of benefits in exchange for termination of employment. The Company recognizes the expense when the offer of termination benefits is no longer revocable or when the related restructuring costs are recognized, whichever occurs earlier. Benefits that are expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date should be discounted.

  • 4) Remuneration of employees and directors

Employee compensation and director remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities when they are legally or presumptively required and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Subsequent adjustments are made based on accounting estimates if there are differences between the actual distribution amounts and the estimated amounts. In the case of stock-based employee compensation, the number of shares is calculated based on the closing price of the day before the Board of Directors' resolution.

aa. Income tax

  • 1) Income tax expense includes both current and deferred income taxes. Except for income taxes related to items included in other comprehensive income or directly included in equity, income taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) The Company calculates the current income tax based on the tax rates legislated or substantially legislated by the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income as of the balance sheet date. The management evaluates the status of income tax filing in accordance with the applicable income tax regulations and, when applicable, estimates the income tax liability by recording the expected tax payments to the tax authorities. The income tax on undistributed earnings, as imposed by the income tax law, is recognized as income tax expense in the year following the year in which the surplus is generated, after the surplus distribution is approved by the shareholders' meeting, reflecting the actual distribution of the surplus.

  • 3) Deferred income taxes are recognized using the balance sheet method, based on the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the temporary differences that arise from their book amounts in the individual balance sheet. Deferred income tax liabilities arising from the initial recognition of goodwill are not recognized. If the deferred income tax arises from transactions (excluding individual enterprises) and does not affect accounting profit or taxable income (tax loss) at the time of the transaction, it is not recognized. Temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associated companies can be controlled as to when they are reversed, and temporary differences that are unlikely to be reversed in the foreseeable future are not recognized. The deferred income tax is based on legislation or substantial legislation in effect on the balance sheet date, and the applicable tax rate (and tax law) expected to be applied when the related deferred income tax assets are realized or the deferred income tax liabilities are 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 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

~24~

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.

bb. Share capital

Common stock is classified as equity. The net amount directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or stock options, after deducting income taxes, is recognized in equity as a deduction from the purchase price.

cc. Dividend allocation

Dividends are recognized in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are approved to be distributed as resolved by the Company’s shareholders' meeting. Cash dividends are recognized as liabilities. Stock dividends are recognized as stock dividends to be allocated and reclassified to ordinary shares on the record date of issue of new shares.

dd. Revenue recognition

Sales

  • 1) The Company primarily manufactures and sells consumer electronics products such as optical discs. Revenue from sales is recognized when control of the products is transferred to the customers, which occurs upon delivery. The customers have discretion over the distribution channels and pricing of the products, and the Company has no remaining performance obligations that could affect customer acceptance of the products. The risks of obsolescence and loss are transferred to the customers when the products are shipped to the designated locations, and the customers accept the products based on the sales contracts or when there is objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been met. The point of delivery occurs when these conditions are satisfied.

  • 2) The sales of the goods are recognized at the contract price, and the amount of sales recognized is limited to the part where it is highly likely that there will not be a major reversal in the future. The payment terms for sales are usually 30 to 180 days after the date of shipment. Because the time interval between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and the customer’s payment did not exceed one year, the Company did not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

  • 3) Account receivable is recognized when goods are delivered to customers because at which time the Company's right to the consideration for contracts from customers is unconditional, except for the passage of time.

  • Critical Accounting Judgments, Assumptions, and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

During the preparation of the parent company only financial statements, the management has exercised its judgments to adopt the accounting policies to be used, and made accounting estimates and assumptions based on reasonable expectations of future events with reference to the circumstances at the balance sheet date. If there is any difference between any critical accounting estimates and assumption made and actual results, assessment and adjustment will be conducted continuously by taking into account the historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year. Please refer to the description of the uncertainties of critical accounting judgments, assumptions, and estimation uncertainty below:

~25~

a. Critical judgments for applying the Company's accounting policies

N/A.

  • b. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • 1) Evaluation of impairment of property, factories and equipment

    • a) The Company assesses impairment based on its subjective judgment and determines the separate cash flows of individual groups of assets, useful lives of assets, and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilized and industrial characteristics. Any changes in economic position or in the estimates due to the Company's strategy might cause material impairment of assets in the future.

    • b) As of December 31, 2023, the book value of the company's real estate, factory buildings, and equipment is $3,178,005.

  • 2) Inventory valuation

    • a) Due to the requirement of valuing inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, our company must exercise judgment and estimation to determine the net realizable value of inventory on the balance sheet date. Given the rapid technological changes, we assess the amount of inventory on the balance sheet date that is subject to normal wear and tear, obsolescence, or lack of market sales value, and reduce the inventory cost to the net realizable value. This inventory valuation is primarily influenced by fluctuations in raw material and product market prices, which may result in significant changes.

    • b) As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of the Company's inventory valuation was NT$1,029,996.

d) The Company's defined welfare retirement plan fund assets are entrusted for operation by the Bank of Taiwan in accordance with the investment and utilization plan of the fund for the year, within the prescribed ratios and amounts. The entrusted operation is carried out in accordance with Article 6 of the Regulations for the Receipt, Custody, and Utilization of Labor Retirement Funds (i.e. depositing funds in domestic and foreign financial institutions, investing in listed, over-the-counter, or private equity securities, and investing in securitized products of domestic and foreign real estate), and the related utilization is supervised by the Labor Retirement Fund Supervisory Commission. The minimum annual distribution of the fund's utilization shall not be lower than the yield calculated based on the local bank's two-year fixed deposit interest rate.

These exchange rate risks are associated with future business transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.

  • ii. The management of our company has established policies to manage the exchange rate risk relative to its functional currencies. The finance department hedges against the overall exchange rate risk. The measurement of exchange rate risk is done through expected transactions involving significant USD and RMB expenses, using forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on expected inventory purchase costs.

  • iii. The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk while hedging accounting is not applied.

  • iv. The Company's business involves a number of non-functional currencies (the functional currencies of the Company and some subsidiaries are NTD, while the functional currencies of other subsidiaries are USD and RMB). Therefore, it is affected by exchange rate fluctuations. Information on foreign currency assets and liabilities influenced by significant exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Price risk

  • i. The Company is exposed to price risk through equity instruments, which are recognized as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage the price risk of equity instrument investments, the Company diversifies its investment portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

  • ii. The Company primarily invests in equity instruments and open-ended funds issued by domestic companies. The prices of these equity instruments are affected by the uncertainty of the future value of the underlying investments. If the prices of these equity instruments increase or decrease by 1%, while all other factors remain unchanged, the tax-adjusted net (loss) income for the years 2023 and 2022 of the Republic of China will increase or decrease by $81,786 and $57,387, respectively, due to the gains or losses from equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss. The other comprehensive income will increase or decrease by $2,174 and $532, respectively, due to the gains or losses from equity investments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income.

Interest rate risk of cash flow and fair value

  • i. The company's interest rate risk primarily arises from long-term borrowings issued at floating interest rates, exposing the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. In the fiscal years 2023 and 2022, the company's borrowings issued at floating interest rates were mainly denominated in NTD.

  • ii. The Company's loans are measured at amortized cost and the annual interest rate will be repriced every year according to the contracts. Therefore, the Company is exposed to the risk of future market interest rate changes.

~66~

  • iii. When the NTD borrowing interest rate rose or fell by 0.25%, while all other factors remained unchanged, the net income (loss) after tax would have decreased or increased by NT$7,890 and NT$7,820 in 2023 and 2022, respectively, as the interest expenses would change with the floating interest rates for the borrowings.

  • b)

Credit risk

  • i. The credit risk of the Company is the risk of financial loss suffered by the Company arising from the failure of customers or counterparties of financial instruments to fulfill contractual obligations. It mainly comes from counterparties' inability to settle the contractual cash flow of account receivable in accordance with the payment terms.

  • ii. The company establishes credit risk management from a corporate perspective. Only institutions with good credit ratings are accepted as trading partners for banks and financial institutions. According to the internal credit policy, each new customer must be managed and analyzed for credit risk before setting payment and delivery terms and conditions. Internal risk control is based on considering their financial condition, past experience, and other factors to evaluate the credit quality of customers. The individual risk limits are formulated by the Board of Directors based on internal or external ratings and the use of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • iii. In accordance with our credit risk management procedures, when contract payments exceed 360 days beyond the agreed payment terms, it is considered a default.

  • iv. The Company adopts IFRS 9 to set the following assumptions as the basis for judging whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition:

When a contract payment is overdue for more than 30 days in accordance with the agreed payment terms, it is deemed that the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since the initial recognition.

  • v. The Company groups customers' account receivable according to the customers' characteristics, and adopts a simplified approach to estimate expected credit losses based on a provision matrix and the loss rate method.

  • vi. After the company's recovery process, the amount of financial assets that cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered is written off. However, the company will continue to pursue legal proceedings to protect its rights to the debt. In both fiscal year 2023 and 2022, the company has outstanding debts that have not been written off and are still subject to recovery activities.

  • vii. i) The Company adjusts the loss rate for accounts receivable and accounts payable (including related parties) of customers with general credit conditions based on historical and current information, taking into account the forward-looking considerations of global economic information. The reserve matrix as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of the Republic of China is as follows:

ii) For customers in the excellent credit group, this Company does not consider expected credit loss to be significant, and thus, calculates expected credit loss using the loss rate method. The expected loss rate is 0.2%. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the total value of accounts receivable is NT$865,001 and NT$1,083,372, respectively, with allowances for losses of NT$303 and NT$1,601 respectively.

  • iii) The total book value of receivable financing lease payments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was NT$45,380 and NT$51,086, respectively. Due to good credit risk, it is expected that there will be no significant credit losses, so the provision for losses is NT$0.

  • c. Fair value information:

  • 1) The fair value levels of the financial instruments and non-financial instruments measured using the valuation technique are defined as follows:

    • Level 1: Companies measure the unadjusted market quotations of identical assets or liabilities that can be obtained on a liquid market. A liquid market refers to a market where there is a sufficient frequency and volume of transactions for pricing information to be continuously available. The fair value of the company's investments in listed stocks and beneficial certificates, among others, falls under this category.

    • Level 2: Observable input values for assets or liabilities, directly or indirectly, excluding those included in Level 1 quotes. This applies to the fair value of most derivative instruments invested by the Company.

    • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities. The equity instruments without active markets invested by the Company belong to this level.

~70~

  • 2) Financial instruments not measured at fair value

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments not measured at fair value, including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, account receivable, other receivables, financial assets at amortized cost, refundable deposits (listed in other current and non-current assets), overdue receivables (listed in other non-current assets), short-term borrowings, notes payables, Account payables, other payables, lease liabilities, long-term borrowings (including due within one year or one operating cycle), guarantee deposits received (listed in other non-current liabilities), and long-term notes and account payable (listed in other non-current liabilities), are reasonable approximations of the fair values.

  • 3) Financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value are classified by the Company based on the nature, characteristics, risk, and the level of fair value of assets and liabilities. The relevant information is as follows:

  • a) The Company's classification is based on the nature of assets and liabilities. The relevant information is as follows:

  • b) The methods and assumptions used by the Company to measure fair value are explained as follows:

  • i. The market quoted prices adopted by the Company as fair value inputs (i.e. Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:

Listed Stocks Market quoted prices Closing price

  • ii. Except for the above-mentioned financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is obtained through valuation techniques or with reference to the quoted prices of counterparties.

  • iii. When evaluating non-standardized and relatively low complexity financial instruments, the Company adopts widely used valuation techniques in the market. The parameters used in the valuation models for such financial instruments are typically based on market observable information.

  • iv. The evaluation of derivative financial instruments is based on widely accepted valuation models in the market, such as discounted cash flow method and option pricing models. Forward foreign exchange contracts are typically evaluated based on the current forward exchange rate.

  • v. The output of the valuation model is an estimated approximate value, and the valuation technique may not reflect all relevant factors related to the company's financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value of the valuation model will be adjusted appropriately based on additional parameters.

~72~

  • 4) There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value in 2023 and 2022.

  • 5) The table below shows the changes in Level 3 fair value in 2023 and 2022:

  • 6) There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value in 2023 and 2022.

  • 7) In the Company's valuation process for fair value classified as Level 3, the strategic investment department is responsible for independent fair value verification for financial instruments, uses data from independent sources to make the valuation results close to the market level, and confirms that the source of the data is independent, reliable, consistent with other resources, and representative of the executable price, while regularly calibrating the valuation model, updating the inputs and data required by the valuation model, and making any other necessary fair value adjustments to ensure that the valuation results are reasonable.

  • 8) The quantitative information on the significant unobservable inputs of the valuation model used in the Level 3 fair value measurement and the sensitivity analysis of the significant unobservable input change are explained as follows:
