Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors Coremax Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Coremax Corporation(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 requirement. 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 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(6) “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(3) “Notes and accounts receivable, net” to the financial statements for the details of relevant disclosures.

Description of key audit matters:
The Company has a worldwide customer base. As such, the Company 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 Company, and evaluating the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures in the accounts.
2. Valuation of Inventories
Please refer to Note 4(7) “Inventories” for the accounting policies of inventories valuation, Note 5 “for the relevant accounting estimation, and major sources of assumption uncertainty”, and Note 6(4) “Inventories” to the financial statements for the details of relevant disclosures.
Description of key audit matters:
The Company's inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company 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 Company’s disclosures in the accounts.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent-company-only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
~ 3-1 ~
==> picture [51 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’ 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 Company 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 Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent-company-only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 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 Company’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 Company’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 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

==> picture [51 x 21] intentionally omitted <==
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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
Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
-
(3) Foreign currency
-
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company 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.
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.
- (4) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
The Company 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.
~ 11 ~
Coremax Corporation Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
The Company 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 Company 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.
(5) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and checking deposits. Cash equivalents are shortterm 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.
(6) 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 Company 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; FVOCI – equity investment, or FVTPL.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company 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
~ 12 ~
Coremax Corporation Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
- 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 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 Company 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.
- 3) Impairment of financial assets
The Company 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 receivables and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI and contract assets.
The Company 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 and contract assets are 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 Company 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 Company’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forwardlooking information.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due.
~ 13 ~
Coremax Corporation Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
The Company 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 Company in full.
The Company 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”.
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 Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Company 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 Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Company 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 Company 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 Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
4) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company 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 Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Company 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.
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).
4) Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company 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.
~ 15 ~
Coremax Corporation Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
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.
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 Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company 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 Company 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.
(7) 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.
(8) Investment in subsidiaries
The Company’s subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method when preparing its parentcompany-only financial statements. Under the equity method, profit, other comprehensive income and equity in the parent-company-only financial statements are equivalent to the profit, other comprehensive income and equity which are contributed to the owners of the parent in the consolidated financial statements.
~ 16 ~
Coremax Corporation Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions.
-
(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.
- (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 Company.
- (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 50 years.
-
2) Machinery and equipment: 2 to 11 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 Company 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 lessee
The Company 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.
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 Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company 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 Company’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 is any lease modifications
~ 18 ~
Coremax Corporation
Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
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 Company 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 Company 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 Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for shortterm leases and leases of low-value assets, including printer and staff dormitory. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As a practical expedient, the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
(11) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company 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 companied together into the smallest Company 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.
~ 19 ~
Coremax Corporation
Notes to the Parent-Company-Only 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.
- (12) Revenue from contracts with customers
(i) Sale of goods
The Company researches, develops, produces, manufactures and sells various chemical catalyst products, cobalt compound products and electronic components, as well as batteries. The Company 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 Company 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 Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.
(ii) Financing components
The Company 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 Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(13) 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 Company’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 Company, 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.
(14) 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.

Coremax Corporation
Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the sharebased payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
- (15) 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 shall be 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 for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases.
Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, 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 Company 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.
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.
- (16) Earnings per share
The Company 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.

The Company has disclosed operating segment information in consolidated financial statements.
Hence, this information is not required to be disclosed in these parent-company-only financial statements.
5. Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing these parent-company-only 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 Company’s risk management and climate-related commitments where appropriate. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively in the period of the change and future periods.
There are no critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the parent-company-only financial statements.
(1) The loss allowance of notes and accounts receivables
The Company 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 Company 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(3) for the impairment evaluation of receivables.
(2) Valuation of Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the Company 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(4) for further description of the valuation of inventories.
Accounting policies and disclosures of the Company include the fair value measurement for financial or non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company 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 Company 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.
~ 23 ~
Coremax Corporation Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
The Company 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 Company recognizes the transfer at the reporting date. For the assumptions used in fair value measurement, please refer to note 6(23) of the financial instruments.

There was no carrying and reversing in 2025 and 2024.
~ 39 ~
Coremax Corporation Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
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.
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.

- 2) Sensitivity analysis
The Company’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 primarily denominated in USD. Assuming all other variable factors remain constant, a strengthening (weakening) of $1 of the TWD against as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, would have (decreased) increased the net income $8,659 thousand, and increased (decreased) the net income $3,118 thousand, respectively.

- 2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value
The Company’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 years ended 2025 and 2024.

Coremax Corporation
Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
The financial management department provides services for each business, coordinating access to domestic and international financial market operations, monitors and manages the financial risks associated with the operations of the Company 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, rate risk, and other market price risk.
(ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with reputable banks; thus, the credit risk is low.
The Company’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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’ 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 Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’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 Company’ s reputation.
The Company 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 Company’ 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 Company’ 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.

Coremax Corporation Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements
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 Company’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 Company’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 Company 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 Company’ 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.
- (25) Capital management
The primary objective of the Company’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 Company’s industry is volatile, capital and technology-intensive industries, and the Company’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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’s capital management was managed has not changed.
The debt-to-equity ratio at the reporting date is as follows:
| Total liabilities Less: cash and cash equivalents Net debt Total equity Debt-to-equity ratio |
December 31, 2025 $ 2,818,831 (2,392,976) $ 425,855 $ 5,760,430 % 7.39 |
