Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Double Bond Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Double Bond Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies ("collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompany consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the 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. 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are stated as follows:
- 4 -
Recognition of Sales Revenue
The Group’s revenue is mainly contributed to from the sale of various chemical raw materials, coating monomers/oligomers, industrial additives, and specialty chemicals. Given the significant fluctuations in major customers and the potential impact of revenue amounts and variances on the users' understanding of the overall financial statements, we have identified the occurrence of revenue from major customers—specifically those with significant year-over-year growth or newly acquired in 2025 as Key Audit Matter. Consequently, we assessed the authenticity of sales revenue from these specific customers as a Key Audit Matter. For accounting policies and information related to revenue recognition, please refer to Notes 4, 22, and 34.
Regarding this Key Audit Matter, our primary audit procedures included:
- Understanding and testing the design and operating effectiveness of key internal controls concerning the authenticity of sales revenue from major customers.
- Sampling and inspecting transaction documents for major customers, including sales orders and shipping documents.
- Sampling and reviewing collections from major customers to verify the authenticity of sales revenue, and confirming whether any significant sales returns occurred after the reporting period to ensure that the operating revenue actually occurred.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of the Group as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 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 supervisors, 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 auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when its 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 auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditors 'report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosure 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 achieve fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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 and 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
- 5 -
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compiled with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our Auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are CHUANG, YEH-WEI and LEE, TUNG-FENG.

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1” Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
-
To classify items of income and expenses presented in the statement of profit or loss into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Group shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
-
Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Group shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Group shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Group labels items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative label.
-
Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Group as a whole, the Group shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the
-
14 -
description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows":
- The Group shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
- Interest and dividends received by the Group shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Group has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Group's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(I) Statement of compliance
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS Accounting Standards that have been endorsed and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC).
(II) Basis of Preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and the net defined benefit liabilities recognized by the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of the project assets.
The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
-
15 -
(III) Classification of current and noncurrent assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
- Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading.
- Asset expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
- Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
- Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading.
- Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the financial statements are authorized for issue.
- Liabilities for which the Group does not have the substantial right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Assets and liabilities that are not classified at current are classified as noncurrent.
(IV) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries). Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposal of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions up to the effective date of disposals, as appropriate.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.
Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributable to the owners of the Company and to the noncontrolling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Group and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.
Please see Note 12 and Annex 4 and 5 for the detailed information of subsidiaries (including the percentage of ownership and main business).
(V) Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
- 16 -
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations (including the subsidiaries and associates in other countries or currencies used are different from the functional currency of the Company) are translated into NTD using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income.
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e., a disposal of the Company's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving the loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
In a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is included in the calculation of equity transactions but is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.
(VI) Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-down are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
(VII) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently
- 17 -
measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.
Except for freehold land which is not depreciated, the depreciation on property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(VIII) Goodwill
The goodwill acquired by the Group is measured as the cost of the goodwill recognized on the date of acquisition and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of the impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating unit or cash-generating group (referred to as "cash-generating units") that the Group expects to benefit from the synergies of the consolidation.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then pro rata to the other assets of the unit based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. Any impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the Group disposes of an operation within that unit, the goodwill associated with the operation which is disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal.
(IX) Intangible assets
- Separate Acquisition
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis.
- 18 -
The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
2. Derecognition
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(X) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, intangible assets (other than goodwill) and assets related to contract costs
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, and intangible assets (other than goodwill) to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell or value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
Before the Group recognizes an impairment loss from assets related to contract costs, any impairment loss on inventories, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets related to the contract applicable under IFRS 15 shall be recognized in accordance with applicable standards. Then, impairment loss from the assets related to the contract costs is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for related goods or services less the costs which relate directly to providing those goods or services and which have not been recognized as expenses. The assets related to the contract costs are then included in the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to which they belong for the purpose of evaluating impairment of that cash-generating unit.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- 19 -
(XI) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- Financial Assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
(1) Measurement category
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments at fair value through comprehensive income.
A. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets invested by the Group are classified as financial assets at amortized cost if they meet the following 2 conditions:
a. Financial assets are held under a business model in which the purpose of the model is to hold financial assets so that the contractual cash flows can be collected;
b. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial asset measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable at amortized cost, accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties, other receivables and refundable deposits) are measured at the total carrying value determined by the effective interest method less amortized cost of any impairment loss after initial recognition, while any gains and losses generated from foreign currency exchange are recognized in profit or loss.
Except for the following two cases, interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the total carrying value of the financial assets:
a. After purchasing or initiating financial assets with credit loss, interest income is calculated by multiplying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate by the amortized cost of financial assets.
b. For credit loss that has nothing to do with purchasing or initiation but later becomes financial assets of credit loss, the interest income shall be
- 20 -
calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the amortized cost of financial assets from the second reporting period after credit loss.
A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred:
a. Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
b. Breach of contract, such as a default;
c. It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or
d. The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
B. Investment in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.
Measured at fair value, investment in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive gains and losses and accumulated in other equity when there are subsequent changes to fair value. At the time of investment disposal, the accumulated gains and losses are transferred directly to retained earnings and are not reclassified as profit or loss.
Unless the dividend clearly represents the recovery of part of the investment cost, dividends on investment in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established.
(2) Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, a loss allowance for expected credit loss is recognized for financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable).
The loss allowance for account receivable is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For financial assets at amortized cost and investments in debt instruments that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, when the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to expected credit loss resulting from possible default events of a
- 21 -
financial instrument within 12 months after the reporting date. If, on the other hand, there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to expected credit loss resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
The expected credit loss is the weighted average credit loss measured by the risk of default; the 12-month expected credit loss represents the expected credit loss arising from the possible default of the financial instrument within 12 months after the reporting date; and the expected credit losses during the lifetime represent the expected credit losses arising from all possible defaults of the financial instrument over its expected lifetime.
The Group recognizes an impairment loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset.
(3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
- Equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified either as financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
The repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognized in and
- 22 -
deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.
3. Financial liabilities
(1) Subsequent measurement
Except for financial asset and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
(2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable (including any transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
After identifying the performance obligation in a customer contract, the Group distributes the transaction price to each one of the performance obligations and recognizes the revenue when the performance obligations are met.
Sale of goods
Sale of goods mainly comes from the sale of various chemical raw materials, coating monomers/oligomers, industrial additives and specialty chemicals for textile. Since the customer has the right to set the price and dispose of the goods and has the primary responsibility for reselling and bearing the risk of obsolete goods when the goods are delivered to the customer's designated location or the goods are shipped, the company will recognize revenue and accounts receivable at these timings. Sale of goods collected in advance is recognized as contract liabilities before the good arrives.
When material processing is performed, the control of the ownership of the processed product is neither transferred nor recognized.
(XIII) Leasing
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
1. The Group as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Lease payments less any lease incentives payable from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.
2. The Group as a lessee
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for by applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the
- 23 -
commencement date. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payment. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
(XIV) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
In accordance with the requirements, investment income earned from the temporary investment of specific borrowings prior to the occurrence of capital expenditures is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other than as stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(XV) Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants related to income are recognized in other income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs that the grants intend to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are received.
Government grants that take the form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset for the use of the entity are recognized and measured at the fair value of the non-monetary asset.
- 24 -
The benefit of a government loan received at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant measured as the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.
(XVI) Employee benefits
- Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the un-discounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
- Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest, and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost and past service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company's defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
(XVII) Share-based payment: employee stock options
Employee stock options
Employee stock options are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lifetime based on the fair value of equity instrument and estimated optimal quantity on the grant date. At the same time, the capital surplus - employee stock options are also adjusted and recognized on the grant date. It is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date if vested immediately. Organizing capital increase by cash and retaining employee subscription, the Company defined the date of notification as the grant date
The Company revised the estimated number of expected employee stock options at the end of each reporting period. If the original estimated quantity is rectified, the effect is recognized as profit and loss so that the cumulative expenses reflect the revised estimate and the capital surplus-employee stock option is adjusted relatively.
(XVIII) Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
-
Current tax
-
25 -
Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.
According to the Income Tax Law in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year's tax provision.
2. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profits.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carryforwards, unused tax credits for purchases of machinery and equipment, research and development expenditure and personnel training expenditures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary difference can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments is only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
3. Current tax and deferred tax for the year
- 26 -
Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current tax and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
V. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Group considers the possible impact of inflation, interest rate fluctuations and volatility in foreign currency markets when making its critical accounting estimates on cash flows, growth rates, discount rates, profitabilities, etc. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The average credit period of the Group's sales of goods is 60 days, and the accounts receivable are not interest-bearing. The impairment assessment of receivable is based on the past default history of the counterparty and its current financial position to estimate the amount that cannot be recovered.
In order to reduce the credit risk, the management of the Group assigns a dedicated team responsible for deciding credit lines, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures so that appropriate actions are taken to recover overdue receivables. In addition, the Group also reviews the recoverable amount of the receivables progressively at the end of the reporting period to ensure that the receivables that cannot be recovered have been recognized in impairment losses. For this, the management of the Group believes that the credit risk of the Group has been significantly reduced.
The Group uses the simplification of IFRS 9 to recognize the loss allowance for accounts
- 28 -
receivables based on expected credit losses during the lifetime. The expected credit loss during the lifetime is calculated using the preparation matrix, which takes into account the customer's past default record, current financial status, and industrial economic situation. Due to the historical experience of credit loss of the Group, there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups. Therefore, the preparation matrix does not further segregate the customer base but set expected credit loss rate based on the overdue days of accounts receivable.
If there is evidence that the counterparty is facing serious financial difficulties and the Group cannot reasonably expect the recoverable amount, the Group directly writes off the relevant accounts receivable. However, the recourse will continue to be pursued and the amount recovered will be recognized in profit or loss.
The Group's loss allowance for the notes and accounts receivable is based on the preparation matrix as follows:

XX. Retirement Benefit Plans
(I) Defined contribution plans
The Group adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a
state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
Among the consolidated companies, DAFENG XIN YUAN DA CHEMICAL Co., LTD., Double Bond Chemical (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., PT. DBC, DBC USA and DBC Vietnam contribute pension funds to retirement fund management institutions in accordance with local regulations.
However, there is currently no pension plan for employees from DBC Europe Holding, DBC Switzerland, DBC Europe, DBC Korea, DBC Thailand, DBC Group, DBC Global, and Total Triumph.
(II) Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contributes monthly to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee's name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor ("the Bureau"); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets in respect of the Group's defined benefit plans were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Present value of defined benefit obligation | $ 12,676 | $ 12,890 |
| Fair value of plan assets | ( 10,823 ) | ( 9,721 ) |

Defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss as summarized by function:
| For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing expenses | $ 184 | $ 118 |
| Management expenses | 184 | 118 |
| R&D expenses | 184 | 116 |
| $ 552 | $ 352 |
Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Group is exposed to the following risks:
- Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate
for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
-
Interest risk: A decrease in government/corporate bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
-
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate(s) | 1.375% | 1.625% |
| Expected rate(s) of salary increase | 4.00% | 4.00% |
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate(s) | ||
| 0.25% increase | ($ 330) | ($ 360) |
| 0.25% decrease | $ 343 | $ 375 |
| Expected rate(s) of salary increase | ||
| 0.25% increase | $ 329 | $ 360 |
| 0.25% decrease | ($ 318) | ($ 348) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| The expected contributions to the plan for the next year | $ 1,080 | $ 1,080 |
| The average duration of the defined benefit obligation | 15.5 years | 19.2 years |

(III) Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy
According to the Company's dividend policy, stipulating that the Company's surplus allocation or loss compensation shall be made after the end of each half fiscal year. If the surplus is distributed in cash, the Board of Directors shall make a resolution, and the board of shareholders shall make a resolution when issuing new shares.
If the Company made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years and setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit. However, if the legal reserve has reached the Company's paid-in
- 39 -
capital, no further appropriation is required. The remaining earnings shall then be setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company's board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholder's meeting for distribution of dividends and bonus to shareholders. If the dividends, legal reserves and capital reserves referred to in the preceding paragraph are distributed in cash, the Board of Directors may be authorized to attend by more than two thirds of the directors and adopt a resolution by more than half of the directors present and report to the shareholders' meeting.
For the policies on distribution of employees' compensation and remuneration of directors, refer to "Employee's compensation and remuneration of directors" in Note 23 (8).
Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company's paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company's paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

When the potential ordinary shares have a dilutive effect, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is included to calculate the diluted earnings per share. The dilution effect of these potential ordinary shares will continue to be considered when calculating the diluted earnings per share before deciding the employee's compensation and stock issuance for the next year.
XXVI. Capital Risk Management
Based on the current industrial operations, future company development, and external environmental changes, the Group plans its future capital, R&D expenses, and dividends payment, etc. so that the companies within the Group can continue as a going concern while their shareholder value can be further improved by optimizing the balance of debt and equity to maintain an optimal capital structure.
The key management of the Group has re-examined the capital structure of the Group

from one time to another. The content of the review includes consideration of the cost of various types of capital and related risks. Based on the recommendations of the key management, the Group will balance its overall capital structure by paying dividends, issuing new shares, buying back shares, issuing new debts, or repaying old debts.
XXVII. Financial Instrument
(I) Fair value - financial instruments not measured at fair value
The management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair values.
(II) Fair value - financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis
1. Fair Value Hierarchy
December 31, 2025
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | ||||
| Investment in equity instruments | ||||
| Domestic unlisted common stocks | $ - | $ - | $ 134,558 | $ 134,558 |
| Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss | ||||
| Foreign exchange forward contracts | $ - | $ 250 | $ - | $ 250 |
December 31, 2024
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | ||||
| Investment in equity instruments | ||||
| Domestic unlisted common stocks | $ - | $ - | $ 97,376 | $ 97,376 |
For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no transfer of fair value measurement between the first level and the second level.
2. Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 2 fair value measurement
| Financial Instrument | Valuation Technique and Inputs |
|---|---|
| Derivatives - foreign exchange forward contracts | Discounted cash flow: future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates at the end of the year and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties. |
3. Pricing models and input values for the third level of fair value measurement
The fair values of unlisted equity securities were evaluated using the market approach. The market approach refers to the estimation of the fair value of the investment target by referring to the transaction prices and related information of comparable targets in the market.

(III) Categories of financial instruments
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Financial assets | ||
| Measured at amortized cost (Note 1) | $2,070,312 | $2,084,212 |
| Fair value through other comprehensive income | ||

(IV) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments included accounts receivable, accounts payable borrowings and lease liabilities. The Group’s financial risk management objectives include market risk (including exchange rate risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk related to management and operational activities.
- Market risks
The Group’s operating activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below) and interest rates (see (2) below) and other price risk (see (3) below).
The Group’s exposure to the risk of financial instrument market and the management and measurement of these exposures have not changed.
(1) Foreign currency risk
Several subsidiaries of the Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk.
For the carrying amount of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in the non-functional currency at the end of the reporting period (including monetary items in the consolidated financial statements that have been written off against non-functional currency denominations), see Note 32.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to USD, RMB and EUR.
The following table details the Group's sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in New Taiwan Dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and representing management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates is 1%. The sensitivity analysis is for a 1% change in foreign currency rates and included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items at the end of the reporting period. A positive number below indicates an increase (decrease) in pre-tax profit (loss) when New Taiwan Dollars weakened by 1% against the relevant currency. For a 1% strengthening of New Taiwan Dollars against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit (loss) and balances below would be negative.
| USD Impact | RMB Impact | EUR Impact | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 | |
| Profit or loss | $ 1,680 | $ 1,635 | ($ 187) | ($ 143) | $ 1,010 | $ 1,235 |
The impact of foreign currency on profit and loss as stated in the above table was mainly attributable to the non-derivative financial assets and liabilities denominated in USD, RMB and EUR that were outstanding but with no cash flow hedge at the end of the reporting period.
(2) Interest rate risk
The Group regularly evaluated hedging activities to align with interest rate perspectives and existing risk preferences to ensure that the most cost-effective hedging strategies were adopted.
The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rate at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fair value interest rate | ||
| —Financial assets | $ 347,548 | $ 92,994 |
| —Financial liabilities | 885,011 | 709,930 |
| Cash flow with interest rate risk | ||
| —Financial assets | 1,100,680 | 1,250,284 |
| —Financial liabilities | 1,030,601 | 1,341,176 |
Sensitivity Analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk of non-derivatives at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities,
the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of liabilities outstanding at the end of the reporting period are outstanding during the reporting period. The rate of change used by the Group to report interest rate to the key management is the interest rate increased or decreased by 100 basis points. This also represents the management's assessment of the reasonably possible range of interest rates.
If the interest rate increases/decreases by 100 basis points, the Group's net profit before tax for 2025 will increase/decrease by NT$701 thousand, and the Group's net loss before tax for 2024 will increase/decrease by NT$909 thousand if all other variables remain unchanged. The main reason is the net portion of the Group's bank deposits and bank borrowings with variable interest rates.
(3) Other price risk
The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in equity securities. The Group has appointed a special staff to monitor the price risk and evaluate the possible solutions.
Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the year.
If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $1,346 thousand and $974 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.
- Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk approximates the carrying amount of the financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
In order to mitigate credit risk, the management of the Group assigns a dedicated team responsible for credit line decisions, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are taken for the recovery of overdue receivables. In addition, the Group will review the recoverable amount of the receivables one by one at the end of the reporting period to ensure that the receivables that cannot be recovered have been recognized as impairment losses. For this, the management of the Group believes that the credit risk of the Group has been significantly reduced.
Trade receivables consisted of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of customers in view of trade receivables.
Since the counterparty of liquidity and derivative financial instruments are
- 51 -
financial institutions and corporate organizations with good credit ratings, the credit risk is quite limited.
3. Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group's operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensure compliance with loan covenants.
The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group had available unutilized bank loan facilities set out in (3) below.
(1) Liquidity and interest risk for non-derivative financial liabilities
The analysis of the remaining contractual maturity of non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the un-discounted cash flows of financial liabilities (including principal and estimated interest) and the earliest date on which the Group may be required to repay. Therefore, the bank borrowings that the Group can be required to repay immediately should be included in the earliest period of the following table, with disregard to the probability that the bank will immediately execute the right. The analysis of the maturity of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared in accordance with the agreed repayment date.

(2) Liquidity and interest rate risk table for derivative financial liabilities
The following table details the Group's liquidity analysis of its derivative financial instruments. The table is based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amount payable or receivable is not fixed, the amount disclosed is determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by the yield curves at the end of the year.

(V) Financial risk management objectives and policies
According to the contract, if these commercial acceptance bills are not recoverable at maturity, suppliers have the right to request that the Group pay the unsettled balance. As the Group has not transferred the significant risks and rewards relating to these commercial acceptance bills, it continues to recognize the full carrying amounts of these commercial acceptance bills and treats these commercial acceptance bills that have been transferred to suppliers as collateral for payment to suppliers.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no commercial acceptance bills that have been transferred but not derecognized.
The Group transferred a portion of its banker's acceptance bills in mainland China to some of its suppliers in order to settle the trade payables to these suppliers. As the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards relating to these bills receivable, it derecognized the full carrying amount of the bills receivable and the associated trade payables. However, if the derecognized bills receivable are not paid at maturity, the suppliers have the right to request that the Group pay the unsettled balance; therefore, the Group still has continuing involvement in these bills receivable.
The maximum exposure to loss from the Group's continuing involvement in the derecognized bills receivable is equal to the face amounts of the transferred but unsettled bills receivable, and as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the face amounts of these unsettled bills receivable were NT$325,967 thousand and NT$327,293 thousand, respectively. The unsettled bills receivable will be due in 1 to 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Taking into consideration the credit risk of these derecognized bills receivable, the Group estimates that the fair values of its continuing involvement are not significant.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group did not recognize any gains or losses upon the transfer of the banker's acceptance bills. No gains or losses were recognized from the continuing involvement, both during the current year or cumulatively.
