Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors
Coremax Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Coremax Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretations as well as related guidance endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of 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 of our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Based on our judgment, the key audit matters should be reflected in our report are as follow:
- Loss allowance assessment of Receivables
Please refer to Note 4(7) “Financial instruments” for the accounting policies of loss allowance assessment of receivables, Note 5 “for the relevant accounting estimation, and major sources of assumption uncertainty”; and Note 6(4) “Notes and accounts receivable, net” to the consolidated financial statements for the details of relevant disclosures.

Description of key audit matters:
The Group has a worldwide customer base. As such, the Group may encounter difficulty in obtaining financial information of the customers due to the rapid changes in the business environment which included the industry, technology, market, and economic, as well as legal matters. When assessing the expected credit loss of its receivables during its lifetime, the receivables are measured based on the factors such as aging analysis of accounts receivable, customers' financial status, historical collection experience, current market conditions, and consideration of forward-looking information. The assessment of allowance for loss on accounts receivables involved subjective judgment of management, which has been identified as one of our key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our main audit procedures included: Obtaining and checking the accuracy of the impairment loss calculation from the management of the accounts receivable; Checking the completeness of the aging analysis of the receivables and accuracy of the aging bracket by sampling, and analyzing the receivables aging and historical receivables collection record and customer credit risk concentration in measuring the appropriateness of the expected credit loss rate in order to evaluate the reasonableness of the provision amount of the account receivable loss allowance of the Group, and evaluating the adequacy of the Group's disclosures in the accounts.
- Valuation of Inventories
Please refer to Note 4(8) "Inventories" for the accounting policies of inventories valuation, Note 5 "for the relevant accounting estimation, and major sources of assumption uncertainty", and Note 6(5) "Inventories" to the consolidated financial statements for the details of relevant disclosures.
Description of key audit matters:
The Group's inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Group will exercise judgment in estimating the net realizable value of its inventories as at reporting date. Estimation of net realizable value might subject to significant changes due to the fluctuations of the market and rapid changes in technology. Therefore, estimation of devaluation loss that reduce inventory to market value is one of our key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures included: Understanding and evaluating the assessment performed by the management in calculating the net realizable value, as well as vouching to relevant documents for samples selected; evaluating the adequacy of the provisions policy; assessing whether the valuation of inventories did follow such policy; and considering the adequacy of the Group's disclosures in the accounts.
Other Matter
The Company has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, interpretations as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
~4-1~
KPMG
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- 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 Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

KPMG
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period 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 audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are Chen, Pei-Chi and Hsu, Ming-Fang.

COREMAX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(amounts expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, except for per share information and unless otherwise noted)
- Company history
Coremax Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Hsinchu, Republic of China (R.O.C.), on June 16, 1992. The registered address of the Company's office is 11 Wenhua Road, Hsinchu County 303035, Taiwan R.O.C. The Company's ordinary shares were publicly listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on September 8, 2017 and the trading of Taipei Exchange stock was officially terminated on the same date.
The Company and subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") are mainly involved in the manufacturing, sales, import and export of oxidation catalyst, battery materials, chemical fertilizers and specialty chemicals.
- Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 5, 2026.
- New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:
(a) The impact of the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. which have already been adopted.
The Group has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, from January 1, 2025:
- Amendments to IAS 21 "Lack of Exchangeability"
(b) The impact of IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the FSC but not yet effective
The Group assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2026, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:
- IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" and amendments to IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts"
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments"
- Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards—Volume 11
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity"

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(c) The impact of IFRS Accounting Standards issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Group, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| Standards or Interpretations | Content of amendment | Effective date per IASB |
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” | The new standard introduces three categories of income and expenses, two income statement subtotals and one single note on management performance measures. The three amendments, combined with enhanced guidance on how to disaggregate information, set the stage for better and more consistent information for users, and will affect all the entities. |
• A more structured income statement: under current standards, companies use different formats to present their results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. The new standard promotes a more structured income statement, introducing a newly defined ‘operating profit’ subtotal and a requirement for all income and expenses to be allocated between three new distinct categories based on a company’s main business activities.
• Management performance measures (MPMs): the new standard introduces a definition for management performance measures, and requires companies to explain in a single note to the financial statements why the measure provides useful information, how it is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined under IFRS Accounting Standards.
• Greater disaggregation of information: the new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes. | January 1, 2027
note: On September 25, 2025, the FSC issued a press release announcing that Taiwan will adopt IFRS 18 beginning in 2028. Entities that need to adopt the new standard earlier may do with the endorsement of the FSC. |
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group is evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance upon the initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.
The Group does not expect the following other new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”
- IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” and amendments to IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”
- Amendments to IAS 21 “Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency”
4. Summary of material accounting policies

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(3) Basis of consolidation
(i) Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Losses attributable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if doing so results in a deficit non-controlling interests’ balance.
The accounting policies in the subsidiary’s financial statements has been adjusted properly to be consistent with the accounting policies used by the Group.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attributable it to the owners of the Company.
Intra group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(ii) List of subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated entities were as follows:

(iii) List of subsidiaries which are not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
(4) Foreign currency
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:
1) an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;
2) a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or
3) qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(5) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
The Group classifies the asset as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.
(i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;
(ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The Group classifies the liability as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.
(i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
(ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(iv) The Group does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
(6) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and checking deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are classified as cash equivalents.

Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(7) Financial instruments
Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
(i) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – equity investment; or FVTPL.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
~15~
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial asset. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
4) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivable and other financial assets).
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:
- debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
- other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowance for trade receivables is always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.
The Group considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘investment grade’ “which is considered to be BBB- or higher per Standard & Poor’s, Baa3 or higher per Moody’s or twA or higher per Taiwan Ratings”.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due.
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 180 days past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full.
~16~
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
5) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
1) Classification of debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
2) Equity instrument
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interests in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received less the direct cost of issuing.
~17~
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
3) Treasury shares
When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be written down).
The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in gain or loss. On conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity, and no gain or loss is recognized.
4) Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible bonds that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value.
The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in gain or loss. On conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity, and no gain or loss is recognized.
5) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.
~18~
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
6) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss.
7) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(iii) Derivative financial instruments
Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.
(8) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average method and includes expenditure and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
(9) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as major components of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives, for the current and comparative years, of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
1) Buildings: 3 to 55 years.
2) Machinery and equipment: 2 to 19 years.
3) Transportation Equipment: 3 to 7 years.
4) Other equipment: 2 to 31 years.
5) Buildings constitute mainly plant, buildings, mechanical and electrical power equipment, and related engineering, etc. Each constituent is depreciated based on its useful life, respectively.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(10) Leases
(i) Identifying a lease
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
(ii) As a leasee
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
~20~
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
- payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
- there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or
- there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or
- there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or
- there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or
- there are any lease modifications
When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Group accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.
The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.
The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, including printer and staff dormitory. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
~21~
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
As a practical expedient, the Group elects not to assess whether all the rent concessions for all leased land occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications or not.
In accordance with the practical expedient, the effect of the change in the lease liability is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concession occurs.
(iii) As a lessor
When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
(11) Intangible assets
(i) Recognition and measurement
Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
(12) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or Cash Generating Units (CGUs).
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
~22~
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
For other non-financial assets (excluding goodwill), an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
(13) Revenue from contracts with customers
(i) Sale of goods
The Group researches, develops, produces, manufactures and sells various chemical catalyst products, cobalt compound products, fertilizers and electronic chemical products. The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.
(ii) Financing components
The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(14) Employee benefits
(i) Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
(ii) Defined benefit plans
The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(iii) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(15) Share based payment
The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
~24~
~25~
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(16) Income tax
Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and their respective tax bases.
Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:
- temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction (i) affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) and (ii) does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences;
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
- taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:
(i) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
(ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
1) the same taxable entity; or
2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
~26~
Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Deferred tax assets are recognized for the deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
(17) Earnings per share
The Group discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible bonds payable and employee remuneration that could be distributed in share.
(18) Operating segment information
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.
5. Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates about the future, including climate-related risks and opportunities, that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are consistent with the Group’s risk management and climate-related commitments where appropriate. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively in the period of the change and future periods.
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:
(1) The loss allowance of notes and accounts receivables
The Group has estimated the loss allowance of notes and accounts receivable that is based on the risk of a default occurring and the rate of expected credit loss. The Group has considered historical experience, current economic conditions and forward-looking information at the reporting date to determine the assumptions to be used in calculating the impairments and the selected inputs. Please refer to note 6(4) for the impairment evaluation of receivables.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(2) Valuation of Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the Group uses judgments and estimates to determine the net realizable value of inventory for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the reporting date. It also writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on the assumptions of the estimated demands of the products within a specific time horizon in the future, therefore, the above estimation may have a significant change. Please refer to note 6(5) for further description of the valuation of inventories.
Accounting policies and disclosures of the Group include the fair value measurement for financial or non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group determines the fair value using the independent data sources which reflect the current market condition and confirming the data available are independent, reliable, in consistent with other sources and represent the exercisable price. The Group also periodically assesses the evaluation model, performs retrospective tests, and updates inputs with any other necessary fair value adjustment for the evaluation model in order to ensure the reasonableness of the valuation.
The Group evaluates its assets and liabilities using the observable market inputs. The hierarchy of the fair value depends on the valuation techniques used, and the different levels have been defined as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When there is a transfer between levels of the fair value hierarchy, the Group recognizes the transfer at the reporting date. For the assumptions used in fair value measurement, please refer to note 6(25) of the financial instruments.

The aforementioned realized capital surplus includes capital surplus resulting from premium on issuance of capital share and earnings from donated assets received.
According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, capital increases by transferring capital surplus should not exceed 10% of the total ordinary share outstanding.
The Company resolved in the shareholders' meeting held on May 27, 2024 to appropriate the 2023 earnings distribution via cash dividends from the capital reserve by issuing ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.31 per share, amounting to $36,457 thousand.

(iii) Retained earnings
1) Legal reserve
When a company incurs no loss, it may, pursuant to a resolution by a shareholders’ meeting, distribute its legal reserve by issuing new shares or by distributing cash, and only the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25% of capital may be distributed.
2) Special reserve
By choosing to apply exemptions granted under IFRS 1 during the Company’s first-time adoption of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC, cumulative translation adjustments under shareholders’ equity shall be reclassified as retained earnings at the transition date. The increase in retained earnings occurring before the transition date due to the first-time adoption of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC amounted to $20,277 thousand. The net increase in retained earnings resulting from the first application of IFRS1 on the transition date was $16,830 thousand. In accordance with rules issued by the FSC, a net increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC shall be reclassified as a special reserve during earnings distribution, and when the relevant asset is used, disposed of, or reclassified, this special reserve shall be reversed as distributable earnings proportionately. There was no carrying and reversing in 2025 and 2024.
In accordance with the guidelines of the above Ruling, a portion of current period earnings and undistributed prior period earnings shall be reclassified as a special reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should be equal to the difference between the total net current period reduction of special reserve resulting from the first-time adoption of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC and the carrying amount of other shareholders’ equity as stated above. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior period earnings shall be reclassified as a special reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to other shareholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods due to the first-time adoption of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholders’ equity shall qualify for additional distributions.
3) Earnings distribution
According to the Company’s articles of incorporation, in years of earnings, pay income tax, offset any accumulated deficit. Thereafter, a 10% appropriation of the remaining amount shall be set aside for legal reserve, unless the amount in the legal reserve is already equal to or greater than the total paid in capital. Thereafter, an amount shall be set aside or reversed as a special reserve in accordance with related laws, regulations, or provisions of the competent authorities. Distribution of the remaining earnings after setting aside the abovementioned amounts, together with the balance of the unappropriated retained earnings of the previous year, shall be proposed by the Board of Directors to be approved at the shareholders’ meeting.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Pursuant to Article 240 of the Company Act, the Board of Directors is authorized to distribute the dividends and bonuses, or all or part of the statutory surplus reserve and capital reserve as provided in Article 241 of the Company Act, in the form of cash after a resolution by a majority in a meeting attended by at least two-thirds of the directors. The resolution shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting and the requirement for a resolution in a shareholders' meeting as stated in the preceding paragraph shall not apply.
As the Company is still in its growth stage, capital is needed to expand its production lines and to increase its investment in the coming years. Recently, the Company has been developing steadily based on its capital expenditure, business expansion, and appropriate financial planning. The Company will allot more than 10% of its distributable earnings above as dividends to its shareholders. However, if the distributable earnings are less than 30% of the paid-in capital, then no dividend shall be distributed. If the Company simultaneously distributes stock dividends and cash dividends, the cash dividends should not be less than 20% of the total dividend payout to its shareholders.

1) Credit risk exposure
The carrying amount of financial assets and contract assets represent the maximum credit exposure.
2) Concentration of credit risk
The customers of the Group are concentrated on customer base of oxidation catalyst, power battery materials, chemical fertilizers and special chemicals. The Group limits its exposure to credit risk from accounts receivables by continuously evaluates the debt collectability and provides adequate reserves for loss allowance, if necessary. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 2 and 5 major customers, which represented 56% and 51% of the accounts receivable, respectively. Thus, credit risk is significantly concentrated.
3) Credit risk of receivables
For credit risk exposure of note and trade receivables, please refer to note 6(4). Other financial assets at amortized cost include other receivables from related parties and other financial assets.
All of these financial assets are considered to have low risk, and thus, the loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected losses. Regarding how the financial instruments are considered to have low credit risk, please refer to note 4(7).

(iii) Currency risk
1) Exposure to currency risk
The Group’s financial assets and liabilities exposed to exchange rate risk were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Foreign currency | Exchange rate | TWD | |
| Financial Assets | |||
| Monetary items | |||
| USD | $ 36,459 | 31.430 | 1,145,906 |

| Financial Liabilities | |||
| Monetary items | |||
| USD | 10,832 | 32.785 | 355,127 |
2) Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s exposure to foreign current risk arises from the translation of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term borrowing, accounts payable, and other payables, that are denominated in USD. Assuming all other variable factors remain constant, a strengthening (weakening) of $1 of the TWD against USD as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, would have (decreased) increased the net income $6,134 thousand, and increase (decrease) the net income $14,387 thousand, respectively.
3) Exchange gains and losses of monetary items
Since the Group has many kinds of functional currency, the information on foreign exchange gain (loss) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the foreign exchange gains (losses) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $(2,239) thousand and $60,407 thousand, respectively.
(iv) Interest rate analysis
The Group’s interest rate exposure regarding its financial assets and liabilities has been disclosed in the note of financial risk management.
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rate risk of the derivative and non-derivative instruments on the reporting date.

Coremax Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the variable rate liabilities are outstanding for the whole year on the reporting date. The exposure to changes in interest rates (assuming all other variables remain constant) would have influenced the net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, as illustrated below:
| Range of the fluctuations | 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual interest rate | Increase of 1% | $ (26,996) | (14,100) |
| Decrease of 1% | $ 26,996 | 14,100 |
(v) Fair value of financial instruments
1) Fair value hierarchy
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss is measured on a recurring basis. The carrying amount and fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities, including the information on fair value hierarchy were as follows; however, except as described in the following paragraphs, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is reasonably close to the fair value, and lease liabilities, disclosure of fair value information is not required:
| December 31, 2025 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying amount | Fair Value | ||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||
| Financial liabilities at FVTPL-current | $ 5,257 | 5,257 | - | - | 5,257 |
| Financial liabilities at FVTPL-non-current | $ 2,807 | - | 2,807 | - | 2,807 |
| Financial assets at FVOCI-non-current | $ 3,369 | - | - | 3,369 | 3,369 |
| Convertible bonds payable (recorded in corporate convertible bonds callable in 1 year) | $ 1,240,912 | 1,400,891 | - | - | 1,400,891 |
| December 31, 2024 | |||||

2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value
The Group's valuation techniques and assumptions used for financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. If there is quoted price generated by transactions, the recent transaction price and quoted price data is used as the basis for fair value measurement. However, if no quoted prices are available, the discounted cash flows are used to estimate fair values.
3) Valuation techniques for financial instruments that are measured at fair value
The right-of-call or put option that embedded in derivative is measured by using the appropriate option pricing models.
There is no transfer between the levels for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
4) Quantitative information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement
The Group’s financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value include financial assets at FVOCI (equity instrument investments). Quantitative information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:
| Item | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable inputs | Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets at FVOCI (equity instrument investments without an active market) | Asset-based approach | Net asset | |
| Liquidity discount (December 31, 2025, and 2024 were all 30%) | The higher the net asset ratio multiplier, the higher fair value. | ||
| The higher of liquidity discount, the lower fair value. |
5) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values
| Equity instrument investment at FVOCI | |
|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 (as beginning balance) | $ 3,369 |
| December 31, 2024 (as beginning balance) | $ 3,369 |

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, the Group's objectives, policies and process for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.
(i) Risk management framework
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities.
The financial management department provides services for each business, coordinating access to domestic and international financial markets operations, monitors and manages the financial risks associated with the operations of the Group by analyzing the internal risk report on risk based on the degree and extent of the risk. The risk including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The market risk which including currency risk, interest rate risk, and other market price risk.
(ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group deposits its cash and cash equivalents with reputable banks; thus, the credit risk is low.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, the management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate. The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by establishing a dedicated team that is responsible for customer’s credit assessment and approval, limit and monitoring procedures. This is to ensure that appropriate actions are taken for the recoverability of overdue receivables. In addition, the Group will review the recoverable amount of the receivables individually at each reporting date so that impairment losses are appropriately provided for those irrecoverable receivables.
The Group’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to wholly owned subsidiaries. There is no endorsement guarantee to entity other than subsidiary on December 31, 2025 and 2024.
(iii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group manages and maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Group’s management supervises the banking facilities and ensures compliance with the terms of loan agreements.
(iv) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
1) Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, primarily the USD.
Interest in borrowing is denominated with the same currency of borrowing principal. Generally, the denominated currency of borrowing is the same with the Group’s cash flow generated from operation, primarily in TWD, but also USD. Under these circumstances, the natural economic hedge exists without using derivative instrument.
In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.
2) Interest rate risk
The Group’s short-term and long-term borrowings are carried in variable interest rates. Therefore, the fluctuation of market rate will make the effective interest rate of short-term and long-term borrowings changed accordingly which resulted fluctuation in future cash flows.
(27) Capital management
The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support its business and maximize shareholder's value.
The Group's industry is volatile, capital and technology-intensive industries, and the Group's life cycle is in a stable growth stage of operation. The remaining dividend policy must be adopted at this stage with funds to retain the surplus in response to operational growth and investment needs. The cash dividend distributed by the shareholder bonus shall not be less than 20% of the total distribution.
The top management of the Group re-examines the capital structure every six months, and its review includes consideration of the cost of each category of capital and related risks. Based on the recommendations of the top management, the Group will balance its overall capital structure by paying dividends, issuing new shares, buying back shares and issuing new debts or repaying old debts.
As of December 31, 2025, the way in which the Group’s capital management was managed has not changed.
