Independent Auditors' Review Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Dawushan Farm Technology Co., Ltd.
Introduction
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of Dawushan Farm Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “Dawushan Group”) as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies). 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 Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
Except for matters described in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standards on Review Engagement No. 2410 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity.” 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.
Basis for Qualified Conclusion
As stated in Note 4(3) to the consolidated financial statements, financial statements of non-material subsidiaries for the same period included in the above consolidated financial statements have not been reviewed by independent auditors. As of March 31, 2025, their total assets amounted to NT$404,605 thousand and accounted for 15.92% of total consolidated assets; and their total liabilities amounted to NT$130,450 thousand and accounted for 14.19% of total consolidated liabilities. The total comprehensive income amounted to NT$1,443 thousand and accounted for (1.30%) of consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Qualified Conclusion
Based on our reviews, except for financial statements of non-material subsidiaries stated in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph, which may result in adjustments to the consolidated financial statements if they have been reviewed by independent auditors, we did not discover matters which would lead us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dawushan Group as of March 31, 2025, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the three 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" endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Other Matters - Prior Period Reviewed by Other Independent Auditors
The consolidated financial statements of Dawushan Group for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were reviewed by other auditors. On May 10, 2024, those auditors issued a review report with a qualified conclusion due to the fact that the financial statements of non-material subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements had not been reviewed by independent auditors.
Emphasis of Matter - Fire Loss
As disclosed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, a portion of Dawushan Group's production facilities was damaged by fire on March 12, 2025. As a result, the Group recognized a disaster loss of NT$41,176 thousand for the damage to its plant and equipment. The Group is currently in the process of filing an insurance claim, and no insurance compensation has been recognized as of the reporting date. Our review conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors' review report are A-Shen Liao and Chien-Chih Wu.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(1) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.
(2) Basis of preparation
A. Except for agricultural produce which is measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC requires the use of significant accounting estimates and the application of the Group’s accounting policies also involves management’s judgment. Please refer to Note 5 for details on items associated with a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or significant assumptions and estimates in the consolidated financial statements.
(3) Basis of consolidation
A. Preparation principle of consolidated financial statements
(a) The Group includes all subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group (including structured entities). The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to 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. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the control is obtained by the Group and are deconsolidated from the date such control is lost.
(b) Transactions, balances, and unrealized gains and losses between entities within the Group have been eliminated. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to be consistent with those adopted by the Group.
(c) The profit or loss and components of other comprehensive income are attributable to owners of the parent company and non-controlling interests. The total comprehensive income is also attributable to owners of the parent company and non-controlling interests, even if this results in non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
(d) Changes in ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control (transactions with non-controlling interests) are treated as equity transactions, i.e., transactions with the owners. The difference between the adjustment of non-controlling interests and the fair value of consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
(e) When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, the investment retained in the former subsidiary is remeasured at fair value and is recognized as either the fair value of financial asset on initial recognition or the cost of the investment in associates or joint ventures on initial recognition. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For

amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary, the accounting treatment is consistent with the basis used if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. In other words, if gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss upon disposal of the related assets or liabilities, such gains or losses would be reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the Group loses control over a subsidiary.

(4) Foreign currency translation
The financial statements of each entity within the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (i.e., the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company's functional currency, New Taiwan dollars (NT$).
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rate at the transaction date or measurement date. Exchange differences arising from such transactions are recognized in profit or loss for the period.
15
DAWUSHAN FARM TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured using the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss for the period.
(c) Foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss are remeasured using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date, and the resulting exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss for the period. For those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the exchange differences arising from remeasurement using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date are recognized in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction.
(d) All exchange gains and losses are presented under “other gains and losses” in the statement of profit or loss.
(5) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
A. An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria:
(a) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;
(b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(d) The asset is classified as cash or a cash equivalent, unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability, or subject to other conditions for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Assets that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
B. A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria:
(a) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
(b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(d) The Group does not have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(7) Financial assets at amortized cost
A. Refers to financial assets that meet both of the following conditions:
(a) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows.
(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
16
DAWUSHAN FARM TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
outstanding.
B. The Group applies trade date accounting for financial assets measured at amortized cost that meet the criteria of regular way purchases or sales.
C. Upon initial recognition, the Group measures such financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, interest income is recognized using the effective interest method over the holding period, impairment losses are recognized as incurred, and any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
D. The Group holds time deposits that do not qualify as cash equivalents. As the holding period is short and the effect of discounting is not material, these deposits are measured at the investment amount.
(8) Accounts and notes receivable
A. Refers to notes and accounts receivables that represent an unconditional right to receive consideration in exchange for the transfer of goods or services in accordance with contractual terms.
B. For short-term, non-interest-bearing notes and accounts receivables, as the effect of discounting is immaterial, the Group measures them at the original invoice amount.
(9) Impairment of financial assets
At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses its financial assets measured at amortized cost for impairment by considering all reasonable and supportable information, including forward-looking data. For financial assets for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses. For those with a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. For accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
(10) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset expire.
(11) Lessor's lease transactions - Operating leases
Lease income from operating leases, net of any incentives granted to the lessee, is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(12) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes the cost of raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, and production-related manufacturing overhead (allocated based on normal production capacity) and does not include borrowing costs. The comparison between cost and net realizable value is performed on an item-by-item basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
17
DAWUSHAN FARM TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(13) Biological assets
Biological assets whose fair value cannot be reliably measured shall be measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
(14) Property, plant and equipment
A. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost with interests incurred during construction or acquisition capitalized.
B. Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of an asset or recognized as a separate asset only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of replaced parts shall be derecognized. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
C. Subsequent to initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured using the cost model. Except for land, which is not depreciated, depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Significant components of property, plant and equipment are depreciated separately.
D. At the end of each financial year, the Group reviews the residual values, useful lives, and depreciation methods of each asset. If there are differences between the expected residual values or useful lives compared to previous estimates, or significant changes in the consumption pattern of future economic benefits of the asset, they shall be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates in accordance with IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" from the date of changes. The useful lives of various assets are as follows:
| Buildings and structures | 2 to 35 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 2 to 20 years |
| Lease improvements | 10 years |
| Miscellaneous equipment | 2 to 22 years |
(15) Lessee's lease transactions - Right-of-use assets / Lease liabilities
A. At the commencement date, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for the lease. For leases that qualify as 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 are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease term. When changes in the lease term or lease payments occur that do not arise from lease modifications, the lease liability is remeasured and the corresponding adjustment is made to the right-of-use asset.
C. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability.
18
DAWUSHAN FARM TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
Subsequently, the assets are measured using the cost model and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset. When the lease liability is remeasured, the right-of-use asset is adjusted by the corresponding amount.
D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee decreases the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease and recognizes the difference between the remeasured lease liability and the adjusted right-of-use asset in profit or loss. For all other lease modifications, the remeasured lease liability is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
(16) Intangible assets
A. Licenses, goodwill, and proprietary technologies acquired through business combinations are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Proprietary technologies are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 10 years. Licenses and goodwill are considered to have indefinite useful lives as they are expected to generate net cash inflows for the foreseeable future. Therefore, they are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually.
B. Computer software is recognized at acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 5 years.
(17) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. If the circumstances that led to the recognition of an impairment loss in prior years no longer exist or have decreased, the impairment loss is reversed. However, the increased carrying amount of an asset due to a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized.
(18) Loans
Loans refer to short-term and long-term borrowings from banks. At initial recognition, the Group measures these borrowings at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequently, any difference between the amount net of transaction costs and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss as interest expense over the term of the borrowings using the effective interest method under the amortized cost approach.
(19) Notes and accounts payable
A. Refers to liabilities arising from the purchase of raw materials, goods, or services on credit, as well as notes payable from both operating and non-operating activities.
B. For short-term, non-interest-bearing notes and accounts payable, as the effect of discounting is immaterial, the Group measures them at the original invoice amount.
(20) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, canceled, or expires.

DAWUSHAN FARM TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(21) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid and are recognized as an expense when the related services are rendered.
B. Pension
For defined contribution plans, the amount of the retirement fund to be contributed is recognized as pension cost for the period on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that they represent refundable cash or reduce future payments.
C. Employee compensation and remuneration to directors
Employee compensation and remuneration to directors are recognized as expenses and liabilities when the Group has legal or constructive obligations and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. If the amount accrued differs from the amount resolved to be distributed, the difference would be recognized as changes in accounting estimate.
(22) Income tax
A. Income tax expense includes both current and deferred income taxes. Except for income taxes related to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, which are separately recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, income taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
B. The Group calculates current income tax based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where it operates and generates taxable income. Management regularly evaluates the status of income tax filings in accordance with applicable tax regulations and recognizes income tax liabilities based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities, where applicable. The income tax on undistributed earnings, levied in accordance with income tax laws, is recognized in the year following the year in which the earnings are generated, upon the approval of the earnings distribution by the shareholders' meeting, based on the actual distribution of earnings.
C. Deferred income tax is accounted for using the balance sheet method, which recognizes temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts on the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax liabilities arising from the initial recognition of goodwill are not recognized. Similarly, deferred income tax is not recognized if it originates from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit (loss) nor gives rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Temporary differences from investments in subsidiaries are not recognized if the Group controls the timing of the reversal of these temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is measured at the tax rates (and tax laws) that are expected to apply when the related assets are realized or the liabilities are settled, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
20
DAWUSHAN FARM TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
D. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. The Group reassesses both unrecognized and recognized deferred tax assets at each balance sheet date.
E. Income tax expense for interim periods is calculated by applying the estimated annual average effective tax rate to the pre-tax profit or loss for the interim period, and related information is disclosed in accordance with the aforementioned policies.
(23) Share capital
A. Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or share options are deducted from equity, net of any related income tax effects.
B. When the Company repurchases its own issued shares, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, net of tax, is recognized as a deduction from equity. When such treasury shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between the consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental costs and income tax effects, and the carrying amount is recognized as an adjustment to equity.
(24) Dividend distribution
Cash dividends for the 2023 earnings were recognized as liabilities in the financial statements upon approval by the shareholders' meeting. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, cash dividends for the 2024 earnings are recognized as liabilities upon resolution by the Board of Directors. Stock dividends are recognized as stock dividends to be distributed upon approval by the shareholders' meeting and are reclassified to common shares on the record date for the issuance of new shares.
(25) Revenue recognition
A. The Group recognizes revenue from the sale of fresh eggs, egg products and related products when control of the product is transferred to the customer, i.e., when the product is delivered to the customer, the customer has discretion over the sales channel and price of the product, and the Group does not have any unsatisfied performance obligations that may affect the customer's acceptance of the product. The product is considered delivered when it is delivered to the designated location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer accepts the product according to the sales contract or there is objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been met.
B. Revenue from the sale of fresh eggs and egg products is recognized at the contract price, net of estimated quantity discounts and sales allowances. Quantity discounts and sales allowances given to customers are usually calculated based on sales volume. The Group estimates volume discounts and sales allowances using the expected value method based on historical experience. Revenue recognition is limited to the portion of revenue where a significant reversal is highly unlikely to occur in the future, and estimates are updated at each balance sheet date. The collection terms for sales transactions are usually one to two months after the shipment date. As the period between the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer and the customer's payment does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price for
21
DAWUSHAN FARM TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
the time value of money.
C. Accounts receivables are recognized when products are delivered to the customers, as the Group then has an unconditional right to the contract price and can collect the consideration from the customers as time passes.
(26) Operating segments
The Group’s operating segment information is reported in a manner consistent with the internal management reports provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources to the operating segments and assessing their performance.
- Critical Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Major Sources of Assumption Uncertainty
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has exercised judgment in determining the accounting policies to be applied and has made accounting estimates and assumptions based on the circumstances as of the balance sheet date and reasonable expectations of future events. The actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Management continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other relevant factors, and adjusts them as necessary. Such estimates and assumptions involve a risk of material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. Please refer to the following disclosures regarding significant accounting judgments, estimates, and sources of estimation uncertainty.
(1) Significant judgments in applying accounting policies: None.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
A. Estimated impairment of notes and accounts receivables
The estimated impairment of accounts receivables is based on the Group’s assumptions regarding default rates and expected loss rates. The Group considers historical experience, current market conditions, and forward-looking information to make assumptions and determines inputs for impairment assessment. Less-than-expected future cash flows could result in significant impairment losses.
As of March 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the Group’s notes and accounts receivables was NT$159,469.
B. Inventory valuation
As inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group is required to exercise judgment and make estimates to determine the net realizable value of inventories as of the balance sheet date. In light of rapid technological changes, the Group assesses the amount of inventories that may be subject to normal wear and tear, obsolescence, or lack of marketability as of the balance sheet date and writes down the cost of inventories to their net realizable value accordingly.
As of March 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the Group’s inventories was NT$37,732.

| Transferred to inventories | - | ( 3,511) |
| Balance as of March 31 | $ 78,362 | $ 94,976 |
C. Biological assets of the Group mainly consist of chicks, pullets, and layer hens. Due to the difficulty in obtaining direct market prices for chicks and pullets during their raising period, the short production cycle of layer hens, and the impact of external factors such as climate and disease on the reliability of discounted cash flow estimates, these biological assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. The cost of biological assets includes all costs incurred during the growth cycle, such as the purchase costs of livestock, poultry and feed, and farm-related expenses. The cost of bearer biological assets is amortized on a straight-line basis over their productive period, which is approximately 12 to 16 months for layer hens. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the depreciation expenses of biological assets amounted to NT$17,745 and NT$21,236, respectively.
D. Estimated quantity of biological assets

| Livestock: | |||
| Quantity of biological assets (Thousand heads) | 586 | 1,001 | 874 |
E. Financial risk management strategies
The Group's financial risk primarily arises from fluctuations in egg prices. The Group does not anticipate a significant decline in egg prices in the foreseeable future; therefore, no derivative contracts have been executed. The Group regularly reviews its expectations of egg prices to assess the necessity of adopting proactive financial risk management measures.

B. Risk management policies
The Group’s daily operations are affected by various financial risks, including market risk (such as exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. To mitigate these financial risks, the Group is committed to identifying, assessing, and avoiding market uncertainties in order to reduce the potential adverse impacts of market fluctuations on the Company’s financial performance.
Important financial activities of the Group are reviewed by the Board of Directors in accordance with relevant rules and internal control systems. During the execution of financial plans, the Group must adhere strictly to the financial operating procedures related to the overall financial risk management and the division of responsibilities.
C. Nature and extent of significant financial risks
(a) Market risk
Exchange rate risk
i. The Group’s management has established policies requiring each entity within the Group to manage exchange rate risks relative to its functional currency. Each entity is required to hedge its overall foreign exchange exposure through the Group’s Finance Department.
ii. As the Group engages in business transactions involving non-functional currencies, it is subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations. The information on foreign currency-denominated assets with material exposure to exchange rate volatility is as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
i. The Group’s interest rate risk primarily arises from short-term and long-term loans issued at variable interest rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group’s borrowings at variable interest rates were mainly denominated in New Taiwan dollars.
ii. Assuming all other variables remain constant, a 1% increase or decrease in borrowing rates would have resulted in a decrease or increase in profit before tax by $1,701 and $1,572, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. This change is mainly attributable to fluctuations in interest expenses arising from loans at variable interest rates.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument failing to meet its contractual obligations. The primary sources of credit risk are trade receivables where counterparties fail to settle amounts in accordance with agreed terms, and contractual cash flows classified as measured at amortized cost. The Group manages this risk internally by assessing the credit quality of customers, taking into account their financial condition, past experience, and other relevant factors.
Cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, and other financial assets
The Group’s trading policy stipulates that transactions are conducted only with counterparties of good credit standing. In recent periods, there have been no significant defaults on cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, and other financial assets.
Notes and accounts receivables
i. In accordance with the Group’s internally defined credit policy, management and credit risk assessments are required for each new customer before setting payment terms and delivery conditions. Internal risk control evaluates the customer’s credit quality by taking into account their financial condition, past experience, and other relevant factors.
ii. The Group considers a financial asset to have experienced a significant increase in credit risk if the contractual payment is more than 30 days past due. A default is deemed to have occurred if the payment is more than 90 days past due.
iii. The Group evaluates the credit quality of customers by customer type, taking into account multiple factors that may affect their ability to pay, including financial condition, historical transaction records, and prevailing economic conditions. A simplified approach is adopted, using a provision matrix to estimate expected credit losses.
iv. After pursuing collection efforts, the Group writes off the portion of financial assets that are no longer reasonably expected to be recoverable. However, the Group will continue to take legal action to preserve its rights.

Level 2: Observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the Group had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
B. The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments not measured at fair value, such as cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets, refundable deposits, short-term loans, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, lease liabilities, and long-term loans, approximate their fair values.
