INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Eastech Holding Limited
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eastech Holding Limited ("Eastech") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") as of March 31, 2026 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the three months then ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related 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 International Accounting Standards 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
We conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement on Review Engagements of the Republic of China No. 2410 "Review of Interim 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.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Group as of March 31, 2026, its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as well as its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months then ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Jung-Chin Liu and Tzu-Ping Huang.

The accounts receivable pledged as collateral for bank borrowing are set out in Note 8.
The Group's average credit period of sales of goods was 68 days (65 days in 2025). No interest was charged on accounts receivable. The Group uses other publicly available financial information or its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually.
The Group measures the loss allowance for accounts receivable at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs (excluding accounts receivable that recognizes loss allowance at full amount). The expected credit losses on accounts receivable are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to the past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position and adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate. As the Group's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group's different customer base.
The Group writes off the accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation, or when the accounts receivable are over 180 days past due, whichever occurs earlier.
The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivable based on the Group's provision matrix:

D. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments include cash and cash in bank, accounts receivable, other financial assets, bank borrowings and financial liabilities etc. Details of the aforementioned financial instruments have been disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.
Set out below are the risks related to the financial instruments, policies to mitigate the risks, how the management monitor the risks in order to adopt timely, appropriate and effective measures.
E. Financial risk information
Based on the internal report containing analysis of exposure of and amount involved in risks by financial units, the Group monitors and manages financial risks relating to the enterprise as a whole, the domestic and international financial market and the operations of the Group. These risks include market risk (foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
Financial units of the Group constantly report to the management. Management will then monitor the risks and execute policies according to its duties and responsibilities so as to mitigate exposure.
There is no change on the Group’s type of exposure and its management and measurement thereof.
(a) Market risk
The Group’s financial instrument transaction is exposed to foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk (refer to (b) and (c) below).
(b) Foreign exchange risk
The Group has foreign currency-denominated transactions that are exposed to the risk caused by fluctuation of exchange rates in the market. To monitor the risk, the responsible team of the Group reviews constantly the portion of assets and liabilities
32
that are exposed to the risk and makes appropriate adjustment so as to control any risk arising from fluctuation of exchange rates.
Since the principal currency of the Group is the US dollar, thus the Group is exposed to risk of exchange rate fluctuation. Fortunately, the risk is mitigated as the majority of receivables and payables and bank borrowings are denominated in US dollar.
As of the reporting period, the carrying amounts of the significant foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities that are expected to be exposed to exchange rates fluctuation were as follows:
| Assets | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
| USD | $2,933,363 | $3,078,130 |
| Liabilities | ||
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
| USD | $665,901 | $553,281 |
The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the foreign currency against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items designated as cash flow hedges and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit associated with currency strengthen 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of currency against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit would be negative.
| Currency USD Impact | ||
|---|---|---|
| For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 | |
| Profit or loss | $113,373 | $126,240 |
The management considers that the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange rate risk as the year end exposure does not reflect the exposure during the period.
(c) Interest rate risk
As the Group does not have any floating-rate borrowings, it is not exposed to interest rate fluctuations.
(d) Credit risk
The Group is exposed to credit risk in the event of the counterparties' failure to perform their obligations under the contracts. The credit risk of the Group is assessed based on the contracts with positive fair values as at the end of the reporting period. Counterparties of the Group are creditworthy financial institutes and corporate entities, and the extent of credit risk that may arise from the counterparties and their creditworthiness are reviewed annually by a special team. Therefore, it is expected that the credit risk is insignificant.
The accounts receivables of the Group concentrate in certain clients who are mainly internationally renowned brands of media players and are not connected. Credit assessments on the financial status of the clients have been conducted. Therefore, it is expected that the credit risk from accounts receivables is minimal.
The maximum exposure of the Group to credit risk is the net amount of carrying amount less amount required to be offset and impairment loss required to be recognized under relevant rules (i.e. carrying amount of financial assets), without taking into account any security and other credit enhancement. The credit risk on derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
(e) Liquidity risk
Appropriate management structure addressing liquidity risk is formulated by the management to monitor short, medium and long term financing and solvency. As such, the Group is not exposed to any liquidity risk attributable to failure to perform obligation under the contract due to inability to finance funds.
The table below analyzes the remaining unexpired maturity of non-derivative financial liabilities with fixed term of repayment based on the undiscounted cash flow of the financial liabilities on the earliest date that repayment shall be made on demand, and the interest and principal are included in the analysis. In respect of the interest cash flow payable at floating rates, the undiscounted interests are estimated based on yield curve as at the end of the reporting period. Maturities of contracts are estimated on the earliest date of repayment on demand. When the amount payable or receivable is not fixed, disclosure of such amount is determined based on the estimated interest rate derived from the yield curve on the balance sheet date.

- Segment information
Operating Segments
IFRS 8 requires that operating units shall be identified based on the internal report to the chief decision maker for periodical review for the purpose of resource allocation to each component of the Group and assessment of their performance. Since the Group is engaged in the processing of speaker systems, and AV electronics products, under the model that the Hong Kong subsidiaries outsource production orders to the subsidiaries in PRC and Vietnam, there is no other segment which has allocated resources or whose performance has been assessed other than processing of speaker systems, earphones and AV electronics products.
Since the Group’s speaker systems, earphones and AV electronics sectors have been fully integrated and centrally managed and the financial management information provided to chief decision maker has also been changed to a single segment, the entire Group’s resources to be allocated to and evaluate the overall performance, no longer distinguish from the speaker system, headphones and audio-visual electronic sector. As a result, the operating information to the chief decision maker for periodical review is measured in the same way as the financial statements, which is reported by a single segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the revenue and operating results of the operating segment can be found in the consolidated income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
