Independent Auditor's Report

To the Board of Directors of Evertop Wire Cable Corporation

Audit opinions

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of EVERTOP WIRE CABLE CORPORATION and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulation Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the R.O.C. and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters for the Company’s financial statements are states as follows:

~4~


I. Inventory Valuation

Description of Key Audit Matters:

For a description of accounting policies on valuation of inventories, please refer to Note 4(10), and for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to valuation of inventories, please refer to Note 5. For details of inventories and related expenses, please refer to Note 6(6) of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The inventory of the Group include copper plates, cooper wires, and various wire and cable finished products. The value of such inventory continues to be affected by the international copper price fluctuation, such that there is a risk of inventory cost exceeding its net realizable value. Accordingly, inventory is determined to be significant to the parent company only financial statements, and we have listed as a key audit matter.

Corresponding Audit Procedures:

The main audit procedure adopted by the auditors of our firm for the aforementioned key audit matters includes: understanding the Group’s policy on allowance for inventory valuation loss, and assessing whether its inventory valuation has been executed according to the predefined accounting policy; performing the sampling procedure to inspect whether the source of the inventory realization value calculation is reasonable; analyzing the inventory age condition to understand the salability of inventory of relatively longer period and the basis for the calculation of its realizable value; reviewing the reasonableness of the allowance for inventory obsolescence adopted in the past, in order to assess whether the allowance for the inventory obsolescence method and assumption adopted in the current period are appropriate; reviewing the post-period international copper price fluctuation condition and the post-period actual sales condition of inventory, in order to assess the reasonableness of the allowance for inventory valuation estimates.

Other Matters

EVERTOP WIRE CABLE CORPORATION has prepared the unconsolidated financial statements for 2025 and 2024, to which we have also issued an independent auditor's report with unqualified opinion, along with a section on other matters and provided for reference.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the R.O.C., and for necessary internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

~ 4-1 ~


In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to being a going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. The term of “reasonable assurance” refers to high level of assurance. Nevertheless, the audit performed according to the auditing standards cannot guarantee the discovery of material misstatement in the financial statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements 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 the consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error, design and adopt appropriate countermeasures for the risks assessed, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence in order to be used as the basis for the 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.
  2. 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 internal control of the Group.
  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management level.
  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

~ 4-2 ~


  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including relevant notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of individual entities of the Group and provide opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We handle the guidance, supervision and execution of the audit on the Group and are responsible for preparing the opinion for the Group.

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 the governance units with statements that we have complied with relevant matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and we have also communicated with the governance units on all relationships and other matters (including relevant protective measures) that may be considered to affect the independence of auditors.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2025 consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2025 and 2024
(In NT$ thousands, unless stated otherwise)

I Company History

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) was established on March 21, 1988 with the approval of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and its registered office is located at 1F, No. 1, Lane 91, Section 2, Renai Road, Taipei City, Taiwan. The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are engaged in the manufacture, processing, sale, and installation of bare cooper wires, tinned wires, power cables, insulated wires, coaxial cables, PVC wire cables, XLPE high and low voltage power cables, telecommunication cables, fiber optic cables, and rubber cables.

II Approval Date and Procedures of the Consolidated Financial Statements

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 10, 2026.

III Application of New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations

(I) The impact of the new standards, amendments and interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted:

The Group has initially adopted the following new IFRS amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, from January 1, 2025.

  • Amendments to IAS No. 21 "Lack of Exchangeability"

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, regarding the application guidance on Section 4.1 of IFRS 9 and the related disclosure requirements of IFRS 7.

(II) The impact of IFRS endorsed by the FSC but not yet effective:

The Group assesses that the adoption of the following new IFRS/IAS amendments, effective for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2025, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

  • IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”.
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments", regarding the application guidance on Sections 3.1 and 3.3 of IFRS 9 and the related disclosure requirements of IFRS 7.
  • Annual Improvements to IFRS/IAS
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 and amendment to IFRS 7 “Nature-Dependent Electricity Contracts”.

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(III) The impact of new standards, amendments and interpretations but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Group, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:

New or Amended Standards Content of Amendment Effective Date Issued by the IASB
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”. The new standards introduce three categories of income and expenses, two subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, and a single note dedicated to management performance measures. These three amendments enhance the guidance on how information is disaggregated in financial statements, laying the foundation for providing users with better and more consistent information, and will affect all companies.

• A more structured statement of profit or loss: Under current standards, companies present their operating results using various formats, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. The new standard adopts a more structured format for the statement of profit or loss by introducing a newly defined subtotal for “operating profit.” It also requires all income and expenses to be classified into three newly defined categories based on the company’s main business activities. | January 1, 2027

Note: On September 25, 2025, the Financial Supervisory Commission issued a press release announcing that Taiwan will adopt IFRS 18 starting from the 2028 fiscal year. Companies wishing to adopt the standard early may do so upon approval by the Financial Supervisory Commission. |


~11~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

  • Management Performance Measures (MPMs): The new standard introduces a definition for Management Performance Measures and requires companies to disclose them in a single note to the financial statements.

IV Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized as follows. The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

(I) Compliance Statement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “the Regulations”) and the IFRSs, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the FSC (hereinafter referred to IFRS endorsed by the FSC).

(II) Basis of Consolidation

  1. Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Transactions and balances, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The comprehensive income from subsidiaries is allocated to the Company and its non-controlling interests, even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Group.

Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over its subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any differences between the amount by which the noncontrolling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the shareholders of the parent.

(III) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

The Group classifies an asset as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current:

  1. It is expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle of the Company;
  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
  3. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
  4. The asset is cash or cash equivalent (as defined in IFRS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria by the Group, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current:

  1. It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle of the Company;
  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
  3. Liabilities are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or
  4. At the end of the reporting period, there is no right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

(IV) Income taxes

~13~


Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

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 are recognized in profit or loss.

Current income tax includes the estimated income tax payable or tax refund receivable calculated based on the taxable income (loss) of the current year, and any adjustment to prior year’s income tax payable or refunds receivable in the amount of the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid or received is measured using the tax rate under regulatory legislation.

Deferred income tax is measured and recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases at the reporting date. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  1. Assets or liabilities initially recognized in a transaction that is not a business merger, and at the time of the transaction (i) does not affect accounting profits and taxable income (loss) and (ii) do not give rise to equivalent taxable and deductible temporary differences;
  2. Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the Group 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
  3. Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

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 on the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  1. The Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
  2. 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.

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

~14~


~15~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized.

(V) Employee benefits

  1. Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

  1. Defined benefit plan

The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefits 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 obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, 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 future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Re-measurements 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 Group determined the net interest expenses (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 expenses 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 benefits that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as related service provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group 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.

(VI) Basis of preparation


~16~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1. Measurement bases

Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss measured at fair value;

(2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss measured at fair value; and

(3) Net defined benefit liability is the fair value of pension fund assets less the present value of defined benefit obligation.

2. Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each entity of the Group is determined based on the primary economic environment in which each entity operates. The consolidated financial statements were expressed in NTD, which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(VII) Foreign currency

1. Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company entities at the exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period (hereinafter referred to as "reporting date"), monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency 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 currency using the exchange rate on 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 on the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income which is recognized in other comprehensive income.

2. Foreign operation

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from acquisition, are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rates on the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan Dollars on the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, joint control, or significant


~17~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

influence is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss. 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 noncontrolling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant 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 the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(VIII) 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 are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits 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.

(IX) Financial instruments

  1. Financial asset

If the purchase or sales of financial assets conform with conventional transactions, the Group shall adopt the accounting treatment on the transaction date for all purchases and sales of financial assets classified in the same way.

The Group classifies financial assets into the following categories: Financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial assets at fair value through. The Group reclassifies all affected financial assets only when it changes its business model for managing financial assets, and such reclassification is applied prospectively from the first day of the next reporting period.

(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.
  • Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

These assets are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and 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) Financial assets at FVTOCI

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.
  • 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 Group 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 Group’s right to receive payment is established (it’s usually on Ex-dividend date).

(3) Financial assets at FVTPL

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group 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.

Financial assets in this category are recognized at fair value on initial recognition.

~18~


Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. 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) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes the impairment provision for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposit paid, and other financial assets) and contract assets.

The Company measures an impairment provision at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECLs:

  • Debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
  • 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.

Impairment provision for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group 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 Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs 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 Group is exposed to credit risk.

ECLs 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 Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at

~19~


~20~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

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;
  • A breach of contract such as a default or being 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.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Group 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 Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off.

(5) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group 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 Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group 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.

  1. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

(1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group 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.

(2) Equity trading


Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

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) Treasury stocks

When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury stocks. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be written down).

(4) Financial liability

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 Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. 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.

(6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group 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.

~21~


~22~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

3. Derivative financial instruments

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency exposures. 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.

(X) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted-average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, costs include an appropriate share of production overhead based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(XI) Investment property

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, used 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, plants, 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 income 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.

(XII) Property, plant and equipment

1. Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plants, and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plants, and equipment have different useful


~23~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plants, and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plants, and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

  1. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

  1. 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.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property, plants, and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

(1) Buildings 40~55 years
(2) Facilities and equipment for buildings 3~35 years
(3) Machinery and equipment 2~15 years
(4) Leased improvements and other equipment 1~15 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed on each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(XIII) Lease

  1. Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Group 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.

  1. Lessee

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on 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


Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

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 re-measurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid on the commencement date. Discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise 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 of the commencement date;
(3) Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
(4) the exercise price of a purchase option or the penalties for terminating the lease, if it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is re-measured when:

(1) There is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate;
(2) There is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
(3) Changes in the assessment of a purchase option for the underlying asset;
(4) There is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option;
(5) Modifications to the underlying asset, scope, or other terms of the lease.

When the lease liability is re-measured, 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 re-measured 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 re-measurement 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 Group presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that do not meet the definition of investment property as a separate line item respectively in the statement of

~24~


~25~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

balance sheet.

The Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on a relative stand-alone price basis. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

(XIV) Impairment of non-financial assets

On each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. 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).

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 recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is lower than its carrying amount.

(XV) Revenue recognition

  1. 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 Group 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 Group’s main types of revenue are explained below:

(1) Sale of goods

The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has been transferred. 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 Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.


~26~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

(2) Financing components

The Group 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 Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(XVI) Earnings per Share

The Group discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on 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 dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company's potential diluted common stock includes estimated employee remuneration.

(XVII) Segment Information

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses (including revenue and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

V Significant Accounting Assumptions and Judgments, and Major Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

When preparing the consolidated financial reports, management must make judgments and estimates about the future (including climate-related risks and opportunities), which will affect the adoption of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management continuously reviews estimates and underlying assumptions, which are consistent with the Group’s risk management and climate-related commitments. Changes in estimates are recognized during the period of change and are deferred for the affected future periods.

There are no critical judgments in applying the accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.


~27~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The uncertainty of the following assumptions and estimates has a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the book value of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. The relevant information is as follows:

(I) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then 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 demand within a specific time horizon, so there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories.

The accounting policy and disclosure of the Group include measuring the financial assets, non-financial assets, and financial liabilities at fair value. The finance department of the Group uses external information to make the evaluation result agreeable to the market status and to ensure that the data resources are independent, reliable, and consistent with other resources. The finance department of the Group regularly revises the evaluation models and the input parameters, makes retrospective reviews, and makes essential adjustments to ensure that the evaluation results are reasonable.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identified assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
  • Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Future Salary Increase Rate 1.250% 1.250%

The Group expects to contribute NT$266 thousand to the defined benefit plan within one year after the 2025 reporting date.

The weighted-average lifetime of the defined benefit plan is 12.87 years.

(7) Sensitivity analysis

If the actuarial assumptions had changed, the impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligation for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 shall be as follows:

December 31, 2025 Influences of Defined Benefit Liabilities
Amount Increased by 0.25% Amount Decreased by 0.25%
Discount rate 1.750% $ (282) 292
Salary Increasing Rate: 1.25% 286 (277)
December 31, 2024
Discount rate 2.000% $ (398) 411
Salary Increasing Rate: 1.25% 403 (391)

The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of net defined benefit liabilities in the balance sheets.


~38~

In addition, foreign subsidiaries make pension contributions in accordance with labor laws of their respective countries and recognize the amount of current contributions as pension expenses. Under this defined contribution plan, the Group allocates a fixed amount to the Bureau of Labor Insurance without additional legal or constructive obligation.

The pension costs under defined contribution plans amounted to NT$6,191 thousand and NT$6,050 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively; the Group has contributed to the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

The aforesaid total authorized capital amount includes NT$100,000 thousand available for employee warrants. The actual paid-in capital is NT$1,941,485 thousand. All issued shares were paid up upon issuance.

  1. Additional paid-in capital

According to the R.O.C. Company Act, capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit, and only the realized capital surplus can be used to increase the common stock or be distributed as cash dividends. The aforementioned realized capital surplus includes capital surplus resulting from premium on issuance of capital stocks and earnings from donated assets received. According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, capital increases by transferring capital surplus in excess of par value should not exceed 10% of the total common stocks outstanding.

The accumulated cash dividends of NT$10,869 thousand from the Company's shares held by its subsidiaries in prior years were recognized as treasury stock, and the above cash dividends received by the subsidiaries were recorded as capital surplus - treasury stocks.

  1. Retained earnings

According to the Articles of Incorporation, the current year's earnings, if any, shall first be used to pay all taxes and offset prior years' operating losses and then 10% of the remaining amount shall be set aside as legal reserve. The appropriation for legal reserve is discontinued when the balance of the legal reserve equals the total authorized capital. Special reserve may be appropriated for operations or to meet regulations.

The Company's dividend policy is to pay dividends from surplus considering factors such as the Company's current and future investment environment, cash requirements, domestic and overseas competitive conditions and capital budget requirements, and taking into account the shareholders' interest, maintenance of a balanced dividend, and the Company's long term financial plan. The Board of Directors is responsible for preparing the dividend distribution plan in accordance with the law and submitting it to the shareholders' meeting for resolution each year.

(1) Statutory reserves

When a company incurs no loss, it may, pursuant to a resolution by a shareholders'

(2) Special reserves

A special reserve is set aside from the current year’s net income after tax and the prior year’s undistributed earnings at an amount equal to the debit balance of contra accounts in shareholders’ equity.

(XVIII) Remuneration to employees and directors

At the shareholders' meeting held on June 16, 2025, the Company resolved to amend its Articles of Incorporation. Under the amended Articles, if there is profit in the year, the Company shall set aside 3% of the profit as employee's remuneration, which shall be distributed in shares or cash as resolved by the board of directors; the Company may, by the resolution of the board of directors, set aside no more than 2% of the above-mentioned profit as remuneration to directors. Of the aforementioned employee compensation, no less than 30% shall be allocated for distribution to basic-level employees. The proposal for the distribution of employees' and directors' remuneration shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for reporting. However, if the Company still has accumulated losses, the Company shall reserve


~45~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

an amount to make up for it, and then provide employees' remuneration and directors' remuneration in accordance with the aforementioned percentages.

Under the Articles prior to amendment, where the Company has a profit in a fiscal year, it shall allocate no less than 3% of the profit as employees' remuneration and no more than 2% of the profit as the remuneration of directors and supervisors. However, where the Company still has accumulated losses, the amount shall be reserved for making up the accumulated losses first. And they shall be recognized as operating costs and operating expenses for the period.

The 2025 and 2024 remuneration to employees was NT$12,929 thousand (including remuneration for non-managerial employees) and NT$15,175, and the remuneration to directors was NT$8,619 thousand and NT$10,117 thousand, respectively, which was deducted from the Company's net profit before tax for the period before deducting the remuneration to employees and directors, and after deducting the accumulated losses, and then multiplying the remaining balance by the percentage of compensation to employees and directors stipulated in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, and report it as operating costs or operating expenses for the period. If there is any discrepancy between the actual distribution amount and the estimated number, the difference is treated according to the change in accounting estimates and recognized as profit or loss in the next year. If the board of directors decides to pay remuneration to employees in shares, the number of shares as remuneration shall be calculated based on the closing price on the day before the board's resolution (after taking into account the effect of ex-rights and ex-dividends).

The amounts of employee and directors' remuneration accrued and actually distributed by the Company for 2024 showed no differences. The relevant information can be obtained from the Market Observation Post System.

(XXI) Financial instruments

  1. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers, derivatives, and investment in securities.

(1) Accounts receivables and other receivables

The Group has established a credit policy, and according to the policy, the Group must analyze its individual credit rating for each new customer before giving the standard payment and delivery terms. The review of the Group includes an external review, and, in some cases, a note from the bank. Credit limit is offered to each customer and is reviewed regularly. Customers who do not comply with the Group's benchmark credit rating are only allowed to make the transactions with the Group on an advance receipt basis.

(2) Investment

The exposure to credit risk related to the bank deposits, fixed income investments, and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Group's finance department. The Group only deals with banks and other external parties with good credit ratings and with financial institutions which are graded above investment grade. Management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligation hence there is no significant credit risk arising from these counterparties.

(3) Credit risk exposure

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Company's maximum amount exposed to credit risk. Such maximum credit exposure on December 31, 2025 and 2024, amounted to NT$1,981,019 thousand and NT$2,374,337 thousand, respectively.

(4) Concentration of credit risk

The Group's credit risk is primarily affected by the credit characteristics of each debtor. The types of businesses in which customers operate also have an impact on credit


~47~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

risk. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 66% and 80% of the Group's total notes and accounts receivable came from the top ten sales customers, respectively.

The Group does not expect that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier or at a significantly different amount.

The above information on fund investments and futures represents the carrying amounts of unsettled transactions as of each reporting date. For details on positions, notional principal amounts, maturities, and related information, please refer to Note 6(2).

3. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity instrument prices. This will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The purpose of market risk management is to manage market risk to a tolerable level and to optimize investment returns.

(1) Foreign currency risk

The Group’s significant exposure of financial assets and liabilities to foreign currency risk was as follows:

2025.12.31 2024.12.31
Foreign currency Exchange rate NTD Foreign currency Exchange rate NTD
Financial asset
Monetary items
USD $ 18,178 31.43 571,335 4,314 32.79 141,456
EUR 715 36.887 26,385 1 34.138 44
Financial liability
Monetary items
USD 36,911 31.43 1,160,113 34,489 32.79 1,130,894

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables, refundable deposits, restricted assets, loans, and accounts payable that are denominated in foreign currencies. Assuming that the foreign currency exchange rate listed above decreased or increased by 1% on December 31, 2025 and 2024, and all other factors remain unchanged, the profit before tax for the year would have increased or decreased by NT$5,624 thousand and NT$9,894 thousand, respectively. The same basis was used for the analysis in both periods.

Since the Group has a wide variety of functional currencies, the information on exchange gains and losses of monetary items is disclosed in a summarized manner. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses (including realized and unrealized) for 2024


~49~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

and 2023 amounted to NT$38,841 thousand and $(38,773) thousand, respectively.

4. Interest rate risk

The interest rates of the Group's interest-bearing financial instruments as of the reporting date are summarized as follows:

Carrying amount:
2025.12.31 2024.12.31
Fixed-rate Instrument:
Financial asset $ 295,290 45,023
Variable-rate Instrument:
Financial asset $ 259,316 958,734
Financial liability (1,116,572) (1,124,938)
$ (857,256) (166,204)

Based on the sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk on non-derivative instruments on the reporting date, if the interest rate increased or decreased by 0.25% with all other variable factors remaining constant, the Group's net income would have decreased or increased by NT$2,143 thousand and NT$416 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, mainly from the interest rate risk exposure of bank deposits and loans with variable interest rates.

In addition, the Group's financial liabilities for fixed-rate instruments are measured at amortized cost. Changes in market interest rates on the reporting date have no effect on profit or loss; therefore, a sensitivity analysis of changes in fair value is not disclosed.

5. Information on fair value

(1) Categories and fair value of financial instruments

The Group's financial assets and liabilities, including the information on fair value hierarchy, were as follows; however, except as described in the following paragraphs, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is reasonably close to the fair value, and for lease liabilities, disclosure of fair value information is not required:

(2) Valuation Techniques for Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

A. Non-derivative financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is based on the quoted market price.

If the quoted price of financial instruments can be obtained in time and often from exchanges, broker, underwriters, industry unions, pricing institutes, or authorities and such price can reflect those actual trading and frequency happen in the market, it is considered a financial instrument. If the financial instrument does not accord with the definition aforementioned, then it is considered to be without a quoted price in the active market. In general, a market with low trading volume or high bid-ask spreads is an indication of a non-active market.

The financial instruments held by the Group are classified according to the valuation techniques used to measure their fair value as follows:

  • The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is based on the quoted market price.
  • Measurement of fair value of financial instruments without an active market are based on the valuation technique or the quoted price from a competitor. Fair value, measured by using the valuation technique that can be extrapolated from either similar financial instruments or the discounted cash flow method or the market transaction prices of similar companies or other valuation techniques, including models, is calculated based on available market data on the reporting date.

B. Derivative financial instruments

Measurement of the fair value of derivative instruments is based on the valuation techniques generally accepted by market participants such as the discounted cash flow or option pricing models. Fair value of forward currency is usually determined by the forward currency exchange rate.

(3) Reconciliation of Level 3 Fair Values


~52~

Evertop Wire Cable Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

For the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss as of January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024 that are classified as Level 3, the changes are as follows:

2025 2024
Beginning retained earnings $ 3,362 3,191
Defined benefit costs recognized in profit or loss 45 63
Purchase/Disposal/Settlement 18 108
Ending Balance $ 3,425 3,362

(4) The fair value measurement of the Group's financial instruments classified as Level 3 is based on third-party pricing information. The Company does not plan to disclose quantitative information and sensitivity analysis for significant unobservable inputs because the unobservable inputs to determine fair value are not determined by the Group.

(XXII) Financial risk management

  1. Structure of risk management

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities.
