INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CREATIVE SENSOR INC.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Creative Sensor Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors (please refer to the Other matter section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
~4~
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements are outlined as follows:
Evaluation of the Reasonableness of the Purchase Price Allocation for a Significant Business Combination
Description
For the accounting policies on business combinations, please refer to Note 4(29) to the consolidated financial statements. For the accounting treatment of the business combination and the description of the purchase price allocation, please refer to Note 6(26) to the consolidated financial statements.
In October 2025, the Group acquired L&K Industries Philippines, Inc. The purchase price allocation (PPA) for this acquisition was based on a report from an external expert engaged by management. Due to the significant management judgment involved in the identification and valuation of intangible assets, and the material impact of the transaction consideration and the resulting assets (including goodwill and intangible assets) and liabilities on the financial statements, we determined the reasonableness of the PPA for this business combination to be a key audit matter for the current year.
~5~
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Evaluated the competence, capabilities, and objectivity of the external valuation expert engaged by management.
-
With the assistance of our internal valuation specialists, we reviewed the reasonableness of the source data and key assumptions used in the measurement of identifiable assets and liabilities within the PPA report prepared by the external expert. Our procedures included the following:
(1) Reviewing the valuation methodologies and calculation formulas used by the external expert.
(2) Reviewing the projected revenue growth rates and gross margins used, and comparing them with historical results and industry forecast reports.
(3) Reviewing the discount rate used and comparing it with the rates of return for similar assets in the market. We also compared the discount rate used in the valuation with the cost of capital assumptions for the cash-generating unit and the rates of return for similar assets.
- Reviewed the accounting treatment, presentation, and disclosure of this transaction in the financial statements.
Other matter – Reference to the audits of the other auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using the equity method which were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these associates, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. The balance of these investments accounted for under the equity method amounted to NT$334,939 thousand and NT$421,955 thousand, constituting 3.24% and 4.65% of the consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the comprehensive (loss) income recognized from associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method amounted to (NT$80,614) thousand and NT$195,976 thousand, constituting (5.62%) and 14.57% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively.
~6~
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Creative Sensor Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, 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 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement 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.
~7~
-
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.
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.
~8~
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.

(3) Basis of consolidation
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
B. Translation of foreign operations
The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
(b) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period;
(c) All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
~20~
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
(a) Assets that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;
(b) Assets that are held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period;
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
(b) Liabilities that are held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) Liabilities that are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
(d) It does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability at least twelve months after the reporting period.
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, 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 that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using settlement date accounting.
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognizes the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognizes the gain or loss in profit or loss.
D. The Group recognizes the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(8) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments which meet all of the following criteria:
~21~
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized and derecognized using settlement date accounting.
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
(a) The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognized as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(b) Except for the recognition of impairment loss, interest income and gain or loss on foreign exchange which are recognized in profit or loss, the changes in fair value of debt instruments are taken through other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
(9) Financial assets at amortized cost
A. Financial assets at amortized cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortized cost are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
C. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(10) Accounts receivable
A. Accounts receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
B. The short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
~22~
(11) Impairment of financial assets
For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortized cost, including financial assets at amortized cost, debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and accounts receivable that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(12) Derecognition of financial assets
The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
(13) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The perpetual inventory system is adopted for inventory recognition. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(14) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
B. The Group's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
C. When changes in an associate's equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group's ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognizes change in ownership interests in the associate in 'capital surplus' in proportion to its ownership.
~23~
D. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
E. For the reciprocal investments between the Company and another company, investment income or loss was recognized under equity method based on the amount prior to recognition of profit or loss.
F. At the balance sheet date, the Group performs an impairment test for an investment in an associate when there is an indication that the investment may be impaired. The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset, by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
(15) Property, plant and equipment
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost.
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| Buildings and structures | 7 ~ 20 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 1.5 ~ 10 years |
| Office equipment | 2 ~ 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 5 ~ 10 years |
| Other equipment | 2 ~ 5 years |
(16) Leasing arrangements (lessee)—right-of-use assets / lease liabilities
A. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortized cost using the interest method and recognizes interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:
(a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; and
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
D. The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
(17) Intangible assets
A. Computer software
Computer software is stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 to 5 years.
B. Customer relationship
The customer relationships were acquired through a business combination and are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value was determined based on a valuation report. These relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 13 years.
C. Goodwill
Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
~25~
(18) Borrowings
Borrowings comprise short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
(19) Accounts payable
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
B. The short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(20) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
(21) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
(22) Non-hedging and embedded derivatives
Non-hedging derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and recorded as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently remeasured at fair value and the gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
(23) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expense in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
~26~
(b) Defined benefit plans
i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit net obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
C. Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration
Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal obligation or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.
(24) Employee share-based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(25) Income tax
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
~27~
C. Deferred tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
D. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred tax assets are reassessed.
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
(26) Share capital
A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
B. Where the Company repurchases the Company's equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company's equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company's equity holders.
(27) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company's financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company's shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities.
(28) Revenue recognition
Sale of goods
A. The Group manufactures and sells image sensor and electronic components. Sales are recognized 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.
~28~
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, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
B. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts and sales discounts and allowances. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 30-90 days after monthly billing, which is consistent with market practice. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.
C. A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
(29) Business combinations
A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the Group measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership instruments' proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be measured at the acquisition-date fair value.
B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquiree recognised and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
(30) Government grants
Government grants are recognized at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are presented by deducting the grants from the asset's carrying amount and are amortized to profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as reduced depreciation expenses.
~29~
(31) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Group’s chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
- CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
None.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
None.

Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee.

(e) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company's defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund's annual investment and utilization plan and the "Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund"(Article 6: The scope of utilization for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilization of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorized by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan asset fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The percentage composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilization Report announced by the government.
(f) The other foreign subsidiaries of the Group operate under local pension systems that are classified as defined benefit plans. Under these plans, the retirement benefits are determined based on an employee's years of service and salary level preceding the date of retirement.
(g) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
| Years ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rate | 1.40%~6.36% | 1.70% |
| Future salary increases | 3.00%~5.00% | 3.00% |
Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 6th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:
| Discount rate | Future salary increases | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Increase by | Decrease by | Increase by | Decrease by | |
| December 31, 2025 | 0.25% and 1% | 0.25% and 1% | 0.25% and 1% | 0.25% and 1% |
| Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation | $ 7,832 | $ 9,767 | $ 9,792 | $ 7,798 |
| Discount rate | Future salary increases | |||
| December 31, 2024 | Increase 0.25% | Decrease 0.25% | Increase 0.25% | Decrease 0.25% |
| Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation | ($ 135) | $ 140 | $ 127 | ($ 123) |
The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption that changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.
(h) The parent company of the Group applied for a suspension of contributions to its labor pension reserve fund on April 23, 2025, and February 5, 2025. Approvals were granted to suspend these contributions for the years 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(i) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of the Group for the year ending December 31, 2026 amount to $2,240.
(j) As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average duration of that retirement plan is 12~12.59 years.
B. (a) Effective July 1, 2005, the Company has established a defined contribution pension plan (the "New Plan") under the Labor Pension Act (the "Act"), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company contributes monthly an amount based on 6% of the employees' monthly salaries and wages to the employees' individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of employment.
(b) The Group's mainland China subsidiaries participate in a pension scheme as stipulated by the government of the People's Republic of China. Monthly contributions are made to a defined contribution pension fund based on a prescribed percentage of the total monthly salary of employees. The pension benefits for each employee are administered and managed by the government. Apart from these monthly contributions, the Group has no further pension obligations.
(c) The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plans of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $17,461 and $17,664, respectively.

12. OTHERS
(1) Capital management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or repurchase treasury shares to optimize capital structure. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio or net worth per share. The former is calculated as net debt divided by total capital while the latter is calculated with total equity divided by number of shares. Total borrowings is net debt. Total capital is calculated as 'equity' as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group's strategy, which was unchanged from 2024, was to maintain the gearing ratio steady.
The gearing ratios at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net debt | $ 1,300,000 | $ 1,300,000 |
| Total equity | $ 7,616,698 | $ 6,238,062 |

B. Financial risk management policies
(a) The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.
(b) Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group treasury) in accordance with internal plans or policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Group's operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments as well as acquisition and disposal of assets.
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and RMB. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
ii. Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Group treasury. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. To manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, entities in the Group use cross currency swap and forward foreign exchange contracts, transacted with Group treasury.
iii. The Group hedges foreign exchange rate by using forward exchange contracts and cross currency swap. However, the Group does not adopt hedging accounting. Details of financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are provided in Notes 6(2) and 6(11).
iv. The Group's businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company's and certain subsidiaries' functional currency: NTD; other certain subsidiaries' functional currency: RMB and USD). The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations are as follows:

Price risk
i. The Group's equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $434,054 and $318,057, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income on equity investment classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
i. The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from the borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in New Taiwan dollars.
ii. The Group’s borrowings are measured at amortised cost. The borrowings are periodically contractually repriced and to that extent are also exposed to the risk of future changes in market interest rates.
iii. If the borrowing interest rate of New Taiwan dollars had increased/decreased by 0.25% with all other variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $2,600, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result from floating-rate borrowings.
(b) Credit risk
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of debt instruments stated at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income.
ii. The Group manages its credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.
iii. The Group adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.
~70~
iv. The Group adopts the following assumption under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:
If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
v. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:
(i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;
(ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
(iii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;
(iv) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.
vi. The Group classifies customers' accounts receivable in accordance with customer types. The Group applies the simplified approach using loss rate methodology to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.
vii. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group had no written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures.
viii. The Group's accounts receivable arose from customers with excellent credit, and the expected loss rate was 0.03%. On December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total book value of accounts receivable and loss allowance were $520,611, $665,467 and $141, $200, respectively.
Movements in relation to the Group applying the simplified approach to provide loss allowance for accounts receivable are as follows:
| | 2025
Accounts receivable
(including related parties) | 2024
Accounts receivable
(including related parties) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| At January 1 | $ 200 | $ 101 |
| (Reversal) provision for impairment | ( 59) | 99 |
| At December 31 | $ 141 | $ 200 |
ix. After conducting individual assessments on the collectability of the Company's certain other receivables (including related parties), the total amount of other receivables (including related parties) amounted to $753 and $8,765, and the loss allowance amounted to $23 and $0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
x. Among the impairment losses (reversal of impairment losses) recognized in the years 2025 and 2024, the impairment losses (reversal of impairment losses) on contract receivables from customers (including related parties) and other receivables (including related parties) amounted to ($36) and $99, respectively.
xi. For investments in debt instruments at amortized cost, and at fair value through other comprehensive income, the credit rating levels are presented below:
| December 31, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 months | Lifetime | Total | ||
| Significant increase in credit risk | Impairment of credit | |||
| Financial assets at amortized cost | $ 12 | $ - | $ - | $ 12 |
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | $ 60,905 | $ - | $ - | $ 60,905 |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
| 12 months | Lifetime | Total | ||
| Significant increase in credit risk | Impairment of credit | |||
| Financial assets at amortized cost | $ 32,737 | $ - | $ - | $ 32,737 |
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | $ 98,175 | $ - | $ - | $ 98,175 |
The financial assets at amortized cost held by the Group are all time deposits with maturity over three months and special-purpose demand deposit. The credit risk rating has no significant abnormal situation.
The financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income held by the Group are all government bonds. The Group assesses the 12 month expected credit loss and lifetime expected credit loss based on the probability of default and default loss provided by external credit rating agencies. The credit risk rating has no significant abnormal situation.
~72~
(c) Liquidity risk
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
ii. The table below analyzes the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual “undiscounted” cash flows.
| December 31, 2025 | Less than 1 year | Between 1 and 2 years | Between 2 and 5 years | Over five years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-derivative financial liabilities | ||||
| Short-term borrowings | $ 1,303,397 | $ - | $ - | $ - |
| Accounts payable (including related parties) | 841,171 | - | - | - |

| Derivative financial liabilities | ||||
| Cross currency swap | $ 10,165 | $ - | $ - | $ - |
| Forward foreign exchange contra | 14,508 | - | - | - |
iii. The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount will be significantly different.
(3) Fair value information
A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks and government bonds with quoted market prices is included in Level 1.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Groups investment in derivative instruments is included in Level 2.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in equity investment and hybrid instruments without active market is included in Level 3.
B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables (including related parties), financial assets at amortized cost-current, guarantee deposits paid, short-term borrowings, accounts payable (including related parties), other payables (including related parties) and lease liability are approximate to their fair values.
C. The related information on financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities are as follows:

i The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
| Listed shares | Government bonds | |
|---|---|---|
| Market quoted price | Closing price | Closing price |
ii Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).
iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, debt instruments without active market, interest rate swap contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts and options, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
iv. The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.
D. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
E. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||

| At January 1 | $ | 191,322 | $ | 50,000 |
| Acquired during the year | 168,513 | 148,175 | ||
| Recorded as non-operating expense | ( | 9,960) | ( | 6,853) |
| At December 31 | $ | 349,875 | $ | 191,322 |
F. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.
G. Treasury segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price.
H. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:
| Fair value at December 31, 2025 | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable input | Range (weighted average) | Relationship of inputs to fair value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-derivative equity instrument Venture capital shares | $ 97,442 | Net asset value | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Hybrid instruments Convertible promissory note | 252,433 | Market comparable companies | Price-to-book ratio multiple, discount for lack of marketability | Not applicable | The higher the multiple, the higher the fair value; the higher the discount for lack of marketability, the lower the fair value |
| Fair value at December 31, 2024 | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable input | Range (weighted average) | Relationship of inputs to fair value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-derivative equity instrument Venture capital shares | $ 100,000 | Net asset value | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Hybrid instruments Convertible promissory note | 91,322 | Market comparable companies | Price-to-book ratio multiple, discount for lack of marketability | Not applicable | The higher the multiple, the higher the fair value; the higher the discount for lack of marketability, the lower the fair value |
