Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd. (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judged shall be presented in the financial report as follows:
- Inventory valuation
Please refer to note 4(g) for accounting policy related to valuation of inventory; note 5 for uncertainty of inventory valuation; and note 6(f) for information regarding inventory and related expenses.
Description of key audit matters:
Due to the impact of product life cycle and industrial competition in electronic industry, the price variability on the inventory of the Company is expected. Therefore, the test of inventory valuation is one of the significant assessment items in our audit procedures.
KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.
KPMG
Audit procedures:
Our principal audit procedures included: assessing the allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses to determine whether the policies of the Company and the accounting policies are applied accordingly, and challenging the adequacy of the Company’s provisions against inventories which we corroborated on a sample basis by testing the appropriateness of ageing listing, understanding the basis for valuation of net realized value used by the management of the Company and selecting appropriate samples to verify the reasonableness of inventory valuation.
- Revenue recognition
Please refer to note 4(q) for the accounting policy of revenue; and note 6(r) for information regarding revenue recognition.
Description of key audit matters:
The main activities of the Company include manufacturing and selling of products on light-emitting and sensing components. The sales revenue is a key matter in the financial statements, and the amounts and changes of sales revenue may affect the users' understanding of the entire financial statements. Therefore, testing over revenue recognition is one of the significant assessment items in our audit procedures.
Audit Procedures:
Our principal audit procedures included: testing the related controls surrounding the aforementioned sales and collection cycle; testing to verify with relevant documents; as well as selectively conducting external confirmations in order to evaluate the accuracy of the timing of the operating revenue recognition and determine whether related accounting policies are applied appropriately by the Company.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
KPMG
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of 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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- 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 Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
KPMG
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsin, Yu-Ting and Kuo, Kuan-Ying.

EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless otherwise specified)
(1) Company history
Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in May 1983 as a company limited by shares under the Company Act of the Republic of China (ROC). The major business activities of the Company are the manufacture and sale of LEDs. The Company's common shares were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) in November 1999.
(2) Approval date and procedures of the financial statements
These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2026.
(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:
(a) The impact of the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. which have already been adopted.
The Company has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its financial statements, from January 1, 2025:
- Amendments to IAS21 "Lack of Exchangeability"
(b) The impact of IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the FSC but not yet effective
The Company assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2026, would not have a significant impact on its financial statements:
- IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" and amendments to IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts"
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments"
- Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards—Volume 11
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity"

Notes to the Financial Statements
(c) The impact of IFRS Accounting Standards issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Company, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| Standards or Interpretations | Content of amendment | Effective date per IASB |
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” | The new standard introduces three categories of income and expenses, two income statement subtotals and one single note on management performance measures. The three amendments, combined with enhanced guidance on how to disaggregate information, set the stage for better and more consistent information for users, and will affect all the entities. |
• A more structured income statement: under current standards, companies use different formats to present their results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. The new standard promotes a more structured income statement, introducing a newly defined ‘operating profit’ subtotal and a requirement for all income and expenses to be allocated between three new distinct categories based on a company’s main business activities.
• Management performance measures (MPMs): the new standard introduces a definition for management performance measures, and requires companies to explain in a single note to the financial statements why the measure provides useful information, how it is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined under IFRS Accounting Standards.
• Greater disaggregation of information: the new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes. | January 1, 2027
note: On September 25, 2025, the FSC issued a press release announcing that Taiwan will adopt IFRS 18 beginning in 2028. Entities that need to adopt the new standard earlier may do with the endorsement of the FSC. |

EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Company is evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance upon the initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Company completes its evaluation.
The Company does not expect the following other new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its financial statements:
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”
- IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” and amendments to IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”
- Amendments to IAS 21 “Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency”
(4) Summary of material accounting policies
The material accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the financial statements.
(a) Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
(b) Basis of preparation
(i) Basis of measurement
Except for the following significant accounts, the financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis:
1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;
2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value; and
3) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
(ii) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Company is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollar (NTD), which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in NTD has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(Continued)
11
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
(c) Foreign currencies
(i) Foreign currency transaction
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operation is disposed to such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost; the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
The Company classifies the asset as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.
(i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;
(ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) It expected to realize within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(Continued)
12
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
(iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies the liability as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.
(i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
(ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(iv) It does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. 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. Time deposits and bonds purchased under resale agreements which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.
(f) Financial instruments
Accounts receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is an accounts receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. An accounts receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
(i) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
(Continued)
13
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established.
(Continued)
14
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. Accounts receivables that the Company intends to sell immediately or in the near term are measured at FVTPL; however, they are included in the accounts receivable line item. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
4) Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
For the purposes of this assessment, 'principal' is defined as the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. 'Interest' is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
- contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
- terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features;
- prepayment and extension features; and
- terms that limit the Company's claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
5) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, leases receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI and contract assets.
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:
- debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
(Continued)
15
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
- other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowance for accounts receivable, other receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the ECL that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECL are the portion of ECL that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECL is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.
The Company considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of 'investment grade which is considered to be BBB- or higher per Standard & Poor's, Baa3 or higher per Moody's or twA or higher per Taiwan Ratings'.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 365 days past due or the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.
ECL are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECL are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
- significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
(Continued)
16
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
- a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 365 days past due;
- the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;
- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is change to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
6) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
1) Classification of debt or equity
Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
(Continued)
17
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
2) Equity instrument
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.
3) Compound financial instrument
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible bonds denominated in NTD that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value.
The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognized at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognized at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss. On conversion at maturity, the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognized.
4) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
5) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation is discharged or cancelled, or expired. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(Continued)
18
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(iii) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Raw material are stated at actual purchase costs, while the calculation of costs of work in process and finished goods adopt the standard cost method and include expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less, the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The differences between standard and actual costing are fully classified as operating costs.
(h) Investment in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity.
Investment in associates is accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.
The financial statements include the Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Company recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual proportionate share.
Gains and losses profits resulting from the transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of the Company's interest in the associate.
When the Company's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interests in an associate, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
(Continued)
19
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
(i) Investments in subsidiaries
When preparing the parent-company-only financial statements, investment in subsidiaries which are controlled by the Company is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the amounts net income, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to shareholders of the Company in the parent-company-only financial statement, are equal to those in the consolidated financial statements.
Change in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
(j) Joint arrangements
A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. The IFRS classifies joint arrangements into two types — joint operations and joint ventures, which have the following characteristics: (a) the parties are bound by a contractual arrangement; and (b) the contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” defines joint control as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (i.e. activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
A joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Company accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in relation to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
When assessing whether a joint arrangement is a joint operation or a joint venture, the Company considers the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the terms agreed by the parties in the contractual arrangement and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances.
(k) Investment property
Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.
Rental income from investment property is recognized as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.
When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(l) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
(ii) Reclassification to investment property
A property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from owner-occupied to investment property.
(iii) Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
(iv) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
1) Buildings: 21~60 years
2) Building improvements: 2~16 years
3) Machinery and equipment: 2~9 years
4) Modeling equipment: 1~5 years
5) Office and other equipment: 1~11 years
Buildings and equipment constitute mainly building, mechanical and electrical power equipment and its related facilities, etc. Each such part depreciates based on its useful life.
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(m) Lease
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
(i) As a leasee
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise of the following:
1) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
2) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
3) amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
4) payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or
2) there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or
3) there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or
4) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option; or
5) there is any lease modification
(Continued)
22
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.
The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of offices and transportation equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including office and transportation equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For sale-and-leaseback transactions, the Company applies the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS 15 to determine whether the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of the asset. If the transfer of an asset satisfies the requirement of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, the Company measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained. Accordingly, the Company recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor. If the transfer of an asset does not satisfy the requirement of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, the Company will continue to recognize the transferred asset and shall recognize the financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds.
(ii) As a lessor
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.
(Continued)

EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Company recognizes a finance lease receivable at an amount equal to its net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs, such as lessors to negotiate and arrange a lease, are included in the measurement of the net investment. The interest income is recognized over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease. The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘rental income’.
(n) Intangible assets
(i) Recognition and measurement
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.
Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
(ii) Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Amortization
Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
1) Patents: the shorter of contract period and estimated useful lives
2) ERP software system: 1~3 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(o) Impairment – non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets, deferred tax assets and assets arising from employee benefits) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units (CGUs). Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
(p) Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and those risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense.
A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(q) Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company's main types of revenue are explained below.
(i) Sale of goods–electronic components
The Company manufactures and sells of LEDs, LCDs and pendants. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.
(ii) Construction contracts
The Company enters into contracts to illuminating construction. Because its customer controls the asset as it is constructed, the Company recognizes revenue over time on the basis of completion of a physical proportion of the contract work. The consideration promised in the contract includes fixed and variable amounts. The customer pays the fixed amount based on a payment schedule. For some variable considerations (for example, a penalty payment calculated based on delay days), accumulated experience is used to estimate the amount of variable consideration, using the expected value method. For other variable considerations (for example, completion bonus if a construction is completed by a specified date), the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration using the most likely amount. The Company recognizes revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. If the Company has recognized revenue, but not issued a bill, then the entitlement to consideration is recognized as a contract asset. The contract asset is transferred to receivables when the entitlement to payment becomes unconditional.
If the Company cannot reasonably measure its progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation of a construction contract, the Company shall recognize revenue only to the extent of the costs expected to be recovered.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the Company expects the unavoidable costs of performing the obligations under a construction contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under the contract.
(Continued)
26
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management.
For illuminating construction, the Company offers a standard warranty to provide assurance that it complies with agreed-upon specifications, and has recognized warranty provisions for this obligation.
(iii) Financing components
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
(iv) Contract costs
1) Costs to fulfil a contract
If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer are not within the scope of another Standard (for example, IAS 2 Inventories, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment or IAS 38 Intangible Assets), the Company recognizes an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:
General and administrative costs, costs of wasted materials, labor or other resources to fulfil the contract that were not reflected in the price of the contract, costs that relate to satisfied performance obligations (or partially satisfied performance obligations), and costs for which the Company cannot distinguish whether the costs relate to unsatisfied performance obligations or to satisfied performance obligations (or partially satisfied performance obligations), the Company recognizes these costs as expenses when incurred.
(r) Employee benefits
(i) Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to the defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.
(Continued)
27
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
(ii) Defined benefit plans
The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(iii) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(s) Income taxes
Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.
The Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatment, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS37.
The Group has determined that the global minimum top-up tax – which it is required to pay under Pillar Two legislation – is an income tax in the scope of IAS 12. The Group has applied a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for the impacts of the top-up tax and accounts for it as a current tax when it is incurred.
(Continued)

EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes shall not be recognized for the following:
(i) Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction (i) affects neither accounting nor taxable profits(losses) and (ii) does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences;
(ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
(iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
The surtax on unappropriated earnings of the Company will be recognized as current tax expense in the following year after the resolution of appropriate retained earnings is approved in the shareholders' meeting.
Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:
(i) the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
(ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
1) the same taxable entity; or
2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(t) Earnings per share
The Company discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, such as convertible bonds, employee stock options, remuneration to employees not yet approved by the shareholders, and restricted employee shares.
(u) Operating segments
The Company has disclosed the operating segment information in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company will not disclose the operating segment information in the parent-company-only financial statements.
(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates about the future, including climate-related risks and opportunities, that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are consistent with the Company's risk management and climate-related commitments where appropriate. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively in the period of the change and future periods.
There are no critical judgments in applying the accounting policies that have significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows:
Valuation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future sales price. Due to the transformation in industry and market, there may be changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Please refer to note 6(f) for further description on the valuation of inventories.

Therefore, time deposits are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Time deposits with maturities over three months from the acquisition date are recorded as other current financial assets amounting to $4,109,760 and $4,282,718 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The non-current portion of the time deposits with maturities over three months from the acquisition date as recorded as other non-current financial assets amounting to $166,094 and $177,323 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(i) Listed convertible bonds are hybrid instruments. Even though it is required to record the host contract and embedded derivative separately, they are recognized as financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss because those investments cannot be reliably measured at fair value as of the acquisition date.
(ii) If there is an increase (decrease) in equity price by 5% on the reporting date, the increase (decrease) in net income pre-tax for 2025 and 2024 will be $8,949 and $8,848, respectively. These analyses are performed on the same basis for both years and assume that all other variables remain the same.
(iii) The Company holds principal protected financial products (structured deposits). However, the related interest does not represent consideration for the time value of money of the outstanding principal amount. Accordingly, such products are classified as financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss.
(iv) The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign exchange and interest risk the Company is exposed to, arising from its operating and financing activities. The following derivative instruments, without the application of hedge accounting, were classified as mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss and held-for-trading financial assets and liabilities:

(i) Impairment loss on notes and accounts receivables
The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, notes and accounts receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information, including the reasonable prediction of historical credit loss experience and future economic situation.
The loss allowance provisions were determined as follows:

| Influences of defined benefit liabilities | ||
|---|---|---|
| Increased 0.25% | Decreased 0.25% | |
| December 31, 2025 | ||
| Discount rate | $ (4,180) | 4,349 |
| Future salary increasing rate | 4,200 | (4,050) |
| December 31, 2024 | ||
| Discount rate | (3,877) | 4,036 |
| Future salary increasing rate | 3,901 | (3,755) |
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions remain constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.
There is no change in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of sensitivity analysis for both periods.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
The Company allocates 6% of each employee's monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act.

In accordance with the Securities Offering and Issuance Guidelines, the amount of capital surplus to be reclassified under share capital shall not exceed 10 percent of the actual share capital amount.
The Company’s annual shareholder’s meeting resolved to distribute cash dividends of $266,036 (NTD 0.6 per share) using capital surplus on June 12, 2024. The related information can be accessed through the Market Observation Post System Website.

The remainder, accumulated with the unappropriated earnings of prior years, is distributed as additional dividends to shareholders, which cannot be lower than 50% of the total accumulated unappropriated earnings. The distribution rate is based on the proposal of the Company's board of directors and should be approved in the shareholders' meeting.
Cash dividends cannot be lower than 10% of the total cash and stock dividends. However, stock dividends instead of cash dividends are declared if the cash dividends per share are less than NT$0.2 (dollars).

1) Legal reserve
When a company incurs no loss, it may, pursuant to a resolution by a shareholders' meeting, distribute its legal reserve by issuing new shares or by distributing cash, and only the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25% of capital may be distributed.
2) Special reserve
By choosing to apply the exemptions granted under IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards" during the Company's first-time adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission (IFRSs), the unrealized land revaluation increment and foreign currency translation adjustments under shareholders' equity shall be reclassified as retained earnings at the adoption date. According to the regulations, the retained earnings increased by $283,890 on the adoption date. In accordance with the requirements issued by the FSC, an increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of the IFRSs shall be reclassified as special reserve, and when the relevant assets were used, disposed of, or reclassified, this special reserve shall be reserved as distributable earnings proportionately. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amount of special reserve amounted to $259,694 and $283,890, respectively.
In accordance with the ruling issued by FSC, a portion of current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should be equal to the difference between the total net current-period reduction of the carrying amount of other shareholders' equity and the special reserve. The amount to be reclassified to special reserve shall be a portion of current-period earnings plus other line items in the retained earnings movements and undistributed prior-period earnings. A portion of the undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for the cumulative changes to other shareholders' equity pertaining to prior periods. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholders' equity shall qualify for additional distributions.
3) Earnings distribution
Based on a resolution of the annual shareholder's meeting held on June 11, 2025 and June 12, 2024, the appropriations of dividends from the earnings distribution for 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements
The amount of revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the periods were $1,242 and $1,437, respectively.
The major change in the balance of contract assets and contract liabilities is the difference between the time frame in the performance obligation to be satisfied and the payment to be received.
(s) Remuneration of employees and directors
On June 11, 2025, the Company resolved at the shareholders' meeting to amend its Articles of Incorporation. According to the amended Articles, if the Company has a profit in a given fiscal year, the Company shall allocate 6% to 12% as remuneration to employees and no more than 1% as remuneration to directors and supervisors. The recipients of the employee remuneration, whether in the form of shares or cash, may include employees of subsidiaries who meet certain specific requirements, which were formulated by the Board of Directors. The amount of employees remuneration mentioned above includes an allocation of no less than 20%, as required by the Securities and Exchange Act, designated for distribution to entry-level employees.
Prior to the amendment, the Articles of Incorporation stipulated that, if the Company has profit in a given fiscal year, the Company shall allocate 6%~12% as remuneration to employees and remuneration to directors not exceeding 1%. However, if the Company has accumulated deficits, the after-tax earnings shall first be used to offset such deficits. The recipients of the employees remuneration, whether in the form of shares or cash, may include employees of subsidiaries who met certain specific requirements, which were formulated by the Board of Directors.
However, if the Company has accumulated deficits, the after-tax earnings shall first be used to offset such deficits before allocating employee and director remuneration in accordance with the aforementioned percentages.
The remuneration to employees amounted to $284,560 (including base-level employee remuneration) and $435,952, and the remuneration to directors amounted to $28,078 and $39,864, in 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts are calculated using the Company's profit before tax without the remuneration to employees and directors for the period, and are determined using the earnings allocation method which was stated under the Company's article. These remunerations are expensed under operating expenses for the period. If the board of directors decides to pay the employees compensation in stock, the basis for calculating the number of shares will be the closing price one day before the shareholders' meeting. The amounts, as stated in the financial statements are identical to those of the actual distributions for 2025 and 2024. The related information can be accessed through the Market Observation Post System website.

(iii) Currency risk
1) Exposure to foreign currency risk
The Company's significant financial assets and liabilities exposure to foreign currency risk were as follow:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foreign currency (in thousands) | Exchange rate | TWD | Foreign currency (in thousands) | Exchange rate | TWD | |

2) Sensitivity analysis
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk of monetary items arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, loans and borrowings, notes and accounts payables and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 5% of appreciation (depreciation) of each major foreign currency against the Company's functional currency as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased (decreased) the profit before tax by $212,303 and $187,748 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.
3) Exchange gains and losses of monetary items
As the Company deals in diverse foreign currencies, gains or losses on foreign exchange were summarized as a single amount. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the foreign exchange gains or losses, including both realized and unrealized, amounted to losses of $38,718 and gains of $284,041, respectively.
(iv) Interest rate analysis
The details of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk were as follows:
| Carrying amount | ||
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
| Variable rate instruments: | ||
| Financial assets | $ 946,548 | 804,198 |
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rate on the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding the assets and liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is on the basis of the assumption that the amount of assets and liabilities outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents management of the Company's assessment on the reasonably possible interval of interest rate change.
If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.25%, the effects of the net profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were as following, which would be mainly resulted from cash in banks with variable interest rates.
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Increase by 0.25% | $ 2,366 | 2,010 |
| Decrease by 0.25% | (2,366) | (2,010) |

2) Fair value valuation technique of financial instruments not measured at fair value
The Company estimates instruments that are not measured at fair value by method and presumption as follows:
a) The book value of financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are similar to their fair value.
3) Fair value valuation technique of financial instruments measured at fair value
a) The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets, including listed stocks, fund beneficiary certificates, emerging stocks and listed convertible bonds, etc., is based on quoted market prices.
b) The fair value of unlisted shares without an active market is assessed by using the net asset value per share approach, P/E ratio approach, and P/B ratio approach.
c) The fair value of derivative instruments is based on quoted prices. When quoted prices are unavailable, the fair value is estimated by adapting a valuation technique using the estimates and hypothesis referred from those used by financial instruments, or the binomial options pricing model which is generally accepted by the market participants.

EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
d) For all other financial assets and financial liabilities, the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on expected future cash flows.
4) There was no transfer from one level to another of the Company in 2025 and 2024.
(v) Financial risk management
(i) Briefings
The Company is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
1) Credit risk
2) Liquidity risk
3) Market risk
In this note expressed the information on risk exposure and objectives, policies and process of risk measurement and management. For detailed information, please refer to the related notes of each risk.
(ii) Structure of risk management
The Company's finance department provides business services for the overall internal department. It sets the objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and the methods used to measure the risk arising from both the domestic and international financial market operations.
The Company minimizes the risk exposure through derivative financial instruments. The Board of Directors regulated the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments in accordance with the Company's policy about risks arising from financial instruments such as currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and the investments of excess liquidity. The internal auditors of the Company continually review the amount of the risk exposure and the compliance with the Company's policies. The Company has no transactions in financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) for the purpose of speculation.
(iii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and investment securities.
(Continued)
61
EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
1) Accounts receivable and other receivables
The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company's review includes external ratings, when available, and bank references in some cases. Credit limits that are established for each customer are reviewed periodically. Customers that fail to meet the Company's benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Company only on a prepayment basis.
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Company's customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk. The Company's customers are from many different industries. The Company does not concentrate on a specific customer, thus, there should be no concern on the significant concentrations of accounts receivable credit risk. In order to mitigate account receivable credit risk, the Company constantly assesses the financial status of the customers.
The Company set the allowance for bad debt account to reflect the estimated losses for accounts receivables, other receivables, and investments. The allowance for bad debt account consists of specific losses relating to individually significant exposure and the unrecognized losses arising from similar assets groups. The allowance for bad debt account is recognized based on historical collection records of similar financial assets.
2) Investment
The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the Company's finance department. Since the Company's transaction counterparties and contractually obligated counterparties are banks, investment grade above financial institutions, and corporate organizations with good credit standing, there are no compliance issues, and therefore, there is no significant credit risk.
3) Guarantees
The Company's policy to provide financial guarantees is only permissible to subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had not provide any financial guarantees.
(iv) Liquidity risk
The Company manages sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Company's management supervises the banking facilities to ensure they are in compliance with the terms of the loan agreements.
The borrowings from the bank form an important source of liquidity for the Company. Please refer to note 6(k) for the unused credit lines of short-term and long-term borrowings as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(v) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that will affect the Company's income or the value of its financial instruments arising from the changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
The Company buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks.
1) Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies. The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in TWD, HKD, EUR, USD, and RMB.
The Company hedges accounts receivable denominated in a foreign currency. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, with a maturity of less than one year from the reporting date.
2) Interest rate risk
The Company borrows funds on fixed and floating interest rate; and the Company bears the cash flow risks related to floating rate loans.
3) Other market value risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk arising from listed stock investments. This is a strategic investment and is not held for trading. The Company does not actively trade in these investments. The material investments of investment portfolio are managed individually and their purchase decision must be approved by the finance department.
(w) Capital management
The Company maintains the capital based on the current operating characteristics of the industry, future development, and changes in external environment, to assure there are financial resources and operating plans to support working capital, capital expenditures, research and development expenses, debt redemptions and dividend payments, and so on. The management decides the optimized capital by using appropriate debt-to-equity ratio, interest-bearing liabilities-to-equity ratio or other financial ratios. To maintain a strong capital base, the Company enhances the return on equity by optimizing debt-to-equity ratio. The Company's debt-to-equity ratio at the end of the reporting date was as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Total liabilities | $ 9,228,732 | 8,658,225 |

(9) Commitments and contingencies
(a) Litigation with Nichia Corporation (Nichia)
(i) Patent Case No. DE69702929
On April 18, 2012, Nichia filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Everlight Europe, at the Dusseldorf District Court of Germany for infringement of Nichia's German patent DE69702929, concerning the white light LEDs using specific phosphors, wherein the district court ruled in favor of Nichia on September 3, 2013. Dissatisfied with the decision, the Group appealed to the Dusseldorf Higher Regional Court of Germany on October 2, 2013, in which it lost the case on December 22, 2016. In response to this, Group filed an appeal to the German Federal Supreme Court on January 18, 2017. However, since the patent DE69702929 expired on July 29, 2017, and thus, had no impact on the existing products of the Group. In addition, the lawsuit only targeted a few old products of the Company and its subsidiary, Everlight Europe. The Group had assessed that there was no significant impact on the current operation and product sales, and to avoid the waste of judicial resources caused by frivolous lawsuits, the Group had withdrawn the lawsuit from the German Federal Supreme Court.
On March 12, 2025, Nichia filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary, Everlight Europe, to the Dusseldorf District Court of Germany for the damage of infringement of Nichia's European patent EP0936682 (German patent number DE69702929), requesting for the compensation of EUR2,500 thousand. The damage dispute is an extension of said patent lawsuit between the Group and Nichia in Germany from 2012 to 2017. On March 31, 2025, the Group received a lawsuit notice from the German regional court, wherein it appointed a lawyer to handle the case, which was still in progress as of the reporting date. After evaluating the final judgment and the amount of the possible claims, the Group estimated a liability provision of EUR1,900 thousand (approximately $68,190), which will not have a significant impact on the operations of the Group.
In addition, Nichia Corporation filed a damage compensation lawsuit with the Dusseldorf District Court in Germany on July 15, 2021 against WOFI, alleging infringement of patent EP0936682 (DE69702929). On October 31, 2022, the Dusseldorf District Court rendered a first-instance judgment requiring WOFI to pay Nichia Corporation damages in the amount of EUR 3,225 thousand. WOFI subsequently filed an appeal with the Higher Regional Court Dusseldorf on November 30, 2022.

(ii) Patent Case No. EP2276080
In September 2015, Nichia filed a lawsuit against the Company’s sub-subsidiary, WOFI, for infringement of patent EP2276080 with the District Court of Dusseldorf, Germany. On December 15, 2016, the District Court of Dusseldorf, Germany, ruled against WOFI in the first instance. On January 12, 2017, WOFI filed an appeal with the High Court of Justice in Dusseldorf, Germany. In October 2017, a ruling notice had been received from the European Patent Office, which found that the original scope of patent EP2276080 was invalid and that the revised scope of the patent was valid. However, in April 2022, patent EP2276080 was judged valid by the European Patent Office and the infringement lawsuit was reopened. On December 16, 2022, the High Court of Justice in Dusseldorf, Germany ruled against WOFI in the second trial. Thereafter, the case proceeded to the execution of the litigation order.
The Company’s subsidiary, WOFI, assessed the outcome of the final judgment and the potential amount of claims that may be required to be paid, and accordingly recognized a provision for liabilities of EUR 4,500 thousand (NTD 141,316). As the subsidiary, WOFI, has entered into bankruptcy liquidation process, the final conclusion of this case will only be completed after the bankruptcy administrator has finalized the liquidation process and the distribution of assets. Based on the current assessment, the outcome of the final judgment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s operations.
(b) Kazakhstan Joint Contracting Project
(i) Pavlodar Regional Government Project
In 2017, the Company, together with A3 Commerce LLP and Altocom Asia LLP (hereinafter referred to as “Alliance A”), was jointly contracted for a smart street light installation and maintenance project for the Pavlodar State Government in Pavlodar of the Republic of Kazakhstan for a period of six years, with a total contract cost of approximately USD8,967 thousand. The installation of the light fixtures was completed and accepted by the Pavlodar State Government on January 4, 2019. However, the Pavlodar State Government later found that some equipment for the smart control systems that should have been installed by A3 Commerce LLP, a member of Alliance A, was shortage, thus suspended the payment for the second quarter of 2020 as well as the subsequent project payment. On October 26, 2020, the Pavlodar State Government requested in writing to Alliance A to complete the installation of the shortage smart control systems as soon as possible and in accordance with the contract.
The Company believed that A3 Commerce LLP failed to fulfill its obligation to install the smart control systems and that Altocom Asia LLP failed to fulfill its maintenance management responsibilities. These two companies were deemed to be incompetent. In order to protect the Company’s interests, the Company sent a letter to the Pavlodar State Government in December 2020, demanding the removal of A3 Commerce LLP and Altocom Asia LLP from Alliance A. In January 2021, the Pavlodar State Government sent a further request in writing that the Company should correct the equipment shortage issue as described above. On February 9, 2021, the Pavlodar State Government filed a lawsuit in the Kazakhstan Court, demanding the termination of the contract with Alliance A with compensation of KZT268,883 thousand (approximately $18,203). The Company has appointed Baker McKenzie, an international business law firm and its local member firm in Kazakhstan, in the hope of negotiating a contract revision with the Pavlodar State Government to allow the Company to finish the uncompleted project independently. The local Court dismissed the lawsuit and appeal on the

Notes to the Financial Statements
grounds of procedural irregularities on March 10 and April 22, 2021, as the State Government failed to follow the terms of the contract regarding negotiation but instead went straight to litigation. After the dismissal of its lawsuit, the Pavlodar State Government immediately started negotiations with Alliance A.
According to the opinion report issued by the appointed attorney on March 22, 2021, as both parties were still in the process of understanding each other’s requests and the attribution of responsibilities, a solution should be negotiated to resolve the dispute. However, it was difficult to predict the outcome, and the maximum exposure for termination of the contract was approximately $141,599. As of December 31, 2020, based on a reasonably conceivable judgment, the Company estimated a loss of $58,754 and reserved the right to legal recourse against the alliance members, A3 Commerce LLP and Altocom Asia LLP, for their incomplete work that damaged the rights and interests of the Company.
In addition, on June 21, 2021, the Ministry of Energy of the Pavlodar State Government filed a lawsuit against the Transportation Department of Pavlodar, all members of Alliance A, and all contractors, requesting confirmation that the project acceptance that took place in January 2019 was invalid. The Company’s appointed attorney argued with the Court that the subject matter of the lawsuit is the same as the previous lawsuit filed by the Pavlodar State Government in December 2020. The lawsuit was dismissed by the Court due to having no legal basis. On the grounds of non bis in idem, the failure of the Ministry of Energy of the Pavlodar State Government to fulfill its pre-litigation negotiation obligations, and the lack of legal right of the Pavlodar State Government to petition for the invalidation of the acceptance of the project, the Company’s appointed attorney believes that the lawsuit should be dismissed in accordance with the law, and requested the Court to grant a transfer to a Court of competent jurisdiction. On July 21, 2021, the Court of First Instance granted the transfer of jurisdiction. The Ministry of Energy of the Pavlodar State Government filed a protest. On August 5, 2021, the Court of Second Instance revoked the decision of transfer of jurisdiction and remanded the case to the First Instance. On September 13, 2021, the Court of First Instance ruled against the Company on the grounds of non bis in idem, the failure of the Ministry of Energy of the State Government of Pavlodar to fulfill its pre-litigation negotiation obligations, and that the Pavlodar State Government had no legal right to apply for confirmation of the invalidation of the acceptance and ruled that the acceptance of the project in January 2019 was invalid. As the Company found that the decision in this case was clearly unlawful, the Company filed a protest against the decision of dismissal on October 1, 2021. The Company then filed an appeal against the decision of invalidation of the acceptance of the project as described above on October 19, 2021. On December 28, 2021, the judge of the second trial dismissed the Company’s protest and appeal and the ruling was finalized. The Company filed an appeal for the third trial against the ruling and judgment of the second trial, and this appeal was dismissed on April 4, 2022. The lawsuit only pleaded to confirm the invalidation of the acceptance of the project in January 2019, and the Pavlodar State Government did not file a claim for compensation.

Notes to the Financial Statements
As no satisfactory outcome was achieved by either party, on February 10, 2022, the Pavlodar Statement Government filed another lawsuit against Alliance A, demanding to terminate the contract with Alliance A and compensation of KZT1,345,882 thousand (approximately $85,733). The Company has appointed an attorney to defend the best legal interests of the Company. Pursuing ongoing negotiations with the Pavlodar State Government to find a mutually beneficial solution should suffice considering termination of the contract would be in the best interests of neither party. On April 27, 2022, the Court of First Instance granted the entire request of the State Government of Pavlodar. The Company filed an appeal against the ruling as it was considered unlawful on June 2, 2022. On July 19, 2022, the Second Trial Court denied the Company’s appeal, with a final judgment entered.
(ii) Taraz Regional Government Project
In 2019, the Company, together with Altocom Asia LLP (hereinafter referred to as “Alliance B”), was jointly contracted for a smart street light installation and maintenance project for the Taraz State Government, for a period of six years, with a total contract cost of approximately USD 14,196 thousand. Alliance B carried out light fixture installation according to the contract. On March 18, 2021, the Taraz State Government filed a lawsuit to terminate the contract claiming that Alliance B has carried out the project without fully preparing the relevant design documents and did not complete the contracted work by December 30, 2020. However, the Company believed that Alliance B completed the project without any delay or deficiency. According to the opinion issued by the appointed attorney on March 22, 2021, as both parties were still in the process of understanding each other’s requests and the attribution of responsibilities, it was difficult to predict the outcome. However, the Taraz State Government failed to follow the terms of contract to first negotiate with Alliance B, instead filing a lawsuit for the termination of the contract. The appointed attorney argued that the relevant procedures were unlawful to defend against the Taraz State Government’s claim and requested the Court to grant a transfer to the Court of competent jurisdiction in order to negotiate with the State Government to resolve the dispute. On April 22, 2021, the local court granted the transfer of jurisdiction to the Commercial Court for trial. On July 21, 2021, the Commercial Court of Taraz ruled against the Company. On August 19, 2021, the Company filed an appeal, which was dismissed by the Court of Second Instance on September 23, 2021, and the ruling was finalized. As the Company believed that Alliance B had no deficiencies, the Company filed an appeal for the third trial against the ruling and judgment of the second trial. The third appeal was dismissed by the Court of Third Instance on April 18, 2022. The case was only decided on the termination of the contract, and the Taraz State Government did not request compensation. As a result, the Company will continue to assess whether to request the return of the equipment or the associated cost from the Taraz State Government.
As of the financial reporting date, with the assistance of the attorney, the Company believed that its litigation in Kazakhstan has exhausted the judicial procedures and reached the Supreme Court of Kazakhstan. Although there are special relief procedures similar to retrials in Taiwan, the Company is of the opinion that its special relief procedures may not achieve a favorable outcome for the Company, considering the local political environment and judicial peculiarities.
