INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CREATIVE SENSOR INC.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Creative Sensor Inc. as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other matter section), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 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 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 parent company only financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 the other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2025 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s 2025 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.
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 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 using the equity method amounted to NT$334,939 thousand and NT$421,955 thousand, constituting 3.15% and 4.68% of the total assets as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the comprehensive (loss) income recognized from associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$(80,614) thousand and NT$195,976 thousand, constituting (5.62%) and 14.57% of the total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the 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 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 parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
~6~
-
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 parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company 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.
~7~
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements 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.

- SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
(2) Basis of preparation
A. Except for the following items, these financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(c) Defined benefit assets recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC® Interpretations, and SIC® Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s functional 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.
-17-
(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 company 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; and
(c) All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(4) 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 realized, 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 realized 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.
(5) Cash equivalents

(6) 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.
-18-
C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value and recognizes the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognizes the gain or loss in profit or loss.
D. The Company recognizes the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(7) 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 Company 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:
(a) The objective of the Company'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 Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Company 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 Company 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.
(8) 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 Company's business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
(b) The assets' contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

-19-
(9) Accounts receivable
A. Accounts receivable entitle the Company 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.
(10) Impairment of financial assets
For debt instruments measured at fair value through other financial assets at amortized cost, including financial assets at amortized cost and accounts receivable that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Company 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 Company recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(11) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
(12) 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.
(13) Investments accounted for using equity method / subsidiaries and associates
A. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
B. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
-20-
C. The Company’s share of its subsidiaries’ 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 Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognize losses proportionate to its ownership.
D. Associates are all entities over which the Company 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.
E. The Company’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 Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
F. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Company recognizes change in ownership interests in the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
G. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’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 Company.
H. Pursuant to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the non-consolidated financial statements shall equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent in the financial statements prepared with basis for consolidation. Owners’ equity in the non-consolidated financial statements shall equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in the financial statements prepared with basis for consolidation.
I. 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.
-21-
J. 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.
(14) 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 Company 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:
| Machinery and equipment | 4 ~ 7 years |
|---|---|
| Office equipment | 3 ~ 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 5 years |
| Other equipment | 3 ~ 5 years |
(15) 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 Company. 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.
-22-
The Company 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.
(c) 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.
(16) Intangible assets
Computer software is stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 to 5 years.
(17) 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.
(18) Accounts payable
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and accounts 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.
(19) 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 Company measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
-23-
(20) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
(21) 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.
(22) 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 plan
For defined contribution plan, the contributions are recognized as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
(b) Defined benefit plan
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 Company in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plan 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-
(23) 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.
(24) 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.
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 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 and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. 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 Company 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.
(25) 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.
(26) 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.
(27) Revenue recognition
Sale of goods
A. The Company 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. 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 Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
-26-
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 30-75 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 Company 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.

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.

| Net defined benefit assets | ($ 23,565) | ($ 21,676) |
(c) Movements in net defined benefit assets are as follows:

(d) 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.
(e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
| Years ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rate | 1.40% | 1.70% |
| Future salary increases | 3.00% | 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 0.25% | Decrease 0.25% | Increase 0.25% | Decrease 0.25% | |
| December 31, 2025 | ||||
| Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation | ($ 135) | $ 140 | $ 125 | ($ 122) |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
| 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.
(f) The Company applied to cease contributing to the retirement fund temporarily on April 23, 2025 and February 5, 2025, and the application was approved to cease contributing to the retirement fund temporarily for 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of employment.
(b) The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plans of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $3,481 and $3,448, respectively.

(1) Capital management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2024, was to maintain a stable gearing ratio.
The gearing ratios at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Price risk
i. The Company’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 Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.
ii. The Company’s investments in equity securities comprise beneficiary certificates, 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, post-tax profit for the years. 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
The Company’s interest rate risk arises from short-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk.
i. The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from the borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. During 2025 and 2024, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in New Taiwan dollars.
ii. The Company’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 during 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $2,600. 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 Company 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 Company manages its credit risk taking into consideration the entire Company© concern. According to the Company’s credit policy, the Company is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of the 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 Company adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.
iv. The Company 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 Company classifies customers’ accounts receivable in accordance with customer types. The Company applies the simplified approach using loss rate methodology to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.
~67~
vii. The Company wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Company will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures.
viii. The Company’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 were $471,278 and $665,467, respectively and loss allowance were $141 and $200, respectively.
Movements in relation to the Company applying the simplified approach to provide loss allowance for accounts receivable (including related parties) are as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts receivable | ||
| (including related parties) | Accounts receivable | |
| (including related parties) | ||
| At January 1 | $ 200 | $ 101 |
| (Reversal) provision of 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 $54,557 and $64,680, and the loss allowance amounted to $23 and $0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
x. Among the impairment loss (reversal of impairment loss) recognized in the years 2025 and 2024, the impairment loss (reversal of impairment loss) 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 |
~69~
December 31, 2024

| Financial assets at amortized cost | $ 12 | $ - | $ - | $ 12 |
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | $ 98,175 | $ - | $ - | $ 98,175 |
The financial assets at amortized cost held by the Company are restricted bank demand deposit. The credit risk rating has no significant abnormal situation.
The financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income held by the company are all government bonds. The Company 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.
(c) Liquidity risk
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities and aggregated by Company treasury. Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
ii. The table below analyzes the Company'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 |

iii. The Company 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 Company's investment in listed stocks and government bonds 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 Company's investment in derivative instruments is included in Level 2.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Company'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:
(a) The related information on the nature of the assets and liabilities is as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |

(b) The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:
i. The instruments the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
| Market quoted price | Listed shares | Government bonds |
|---|---|---|
| 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 Company 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Equity instrument | Equity instrument | |
| At January 1 | $ 191,322 | $ 50,000 |
| Acquired in the period | 168,513 | 148,175 |
| Recorded as non-operating expenses | ( 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 | $ 97,442 | Net asset value | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Hybrid instruments: Convertible promissory note | 252,433 | Market comparable companies method | Price-to-book ratio multiplier, 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 | $ 100,000 | Net asset value | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Hybrid instruments: Convertible promissory note | 91,322 | Market comparable companies method | Price-to-book ratio multiplier, 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 |
