INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CREATIVE SENSOR INC.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Creative Sensor Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and nine months then ended, as well as the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine months then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other matter section), nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at September 30, 2025 and 2024, and of its consolidated financial performance for the three months and nine months then ended and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Other matter
We did not review the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using the equity method which were reviewed by other auditors. Therefore, our conclusion 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$388,141 thousand and NT$401,011 thousand, constituting 3.65% and 4.70% of the consolidated total assets as at September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the comprehensive income (loss) recognized from associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$66,655 thousand, NT$171,116 thousand, (NT$27,412) thousand and NT$175,032 thousand, constituting 2.47%, 49.38%, (1.36%) and 21.38% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months and nine months then ended, respectively.

B. Financial risk management policies
There is no significant change in this period. Refer to Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 for the related information.
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:

v. The total exchange gain (loss), including realized and unrealized, arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group were $39,312, ($38,311), ($107,591) and $12,968 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $500,179 and $281,981, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income on equity investment classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income.
~55~
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 nine months ended September 30, 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 three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $650, $650, $1,950 and $1,950, 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.
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 September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and September 30, 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 September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the total book value of accounts receivable and loss allowance were $525,908, $665,467, $727,141 and $158, $200, $218, respectively.
ix. Movements in relation to the Group applying the simplified approach to provide loss allowance for accounts receivable are as follows:

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.
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, notes receivable, 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:

(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Equity instrument | Equity instrument | |
| At January 1 | $ 191,322 | $ 50,000 |
| Acquired during the period | 97,440 | 50,000 |
| Effect of exchange rate | ( 12,063) | - |
| At September 30 | $ 276,699 | $ 100,000 |
F. For the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2025 | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable input | Range (weighted average) | Relationship of inputs to fair value | |
