Review Report of Independent Auditors
To Faraday Technology Corporation
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Faraday Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”). Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Conclusion
As explained in Note 4(3), the financial statements of certain insignificant subsidiaries were not reviewed by independent auditors. Those statements reflect total assets of NT$2,446,934 thousand and NT$4,589,637 thousand, constituting 11.71% and 23.58% of the consolidated total assets, and total liabilities of NT$318,020 thousand and NT$542,631 thousand, constituting 4.90% and 9.39% of the consolidated total liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively; and total comprehensive income of NT$(41,951) thousand and NT$(302,079) thousand, constituting (7.64)% and (148.70)% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The information related to above subsidiaries disclosed in Note 13 was also not reviewed by independent auditors.

Qualified Conclusion
Based on our reviews, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain insignificant subsidiaries and the information disclosed in the footnotes been reviewed by independent auditors described in the preceding paragraph, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Faraday Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and their consolidated financial performance for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

(2) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s principal financial risk management objective is to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activities. The Group identifies measures and manages the aforementioned risks based on the Group’s policy and risk exposures.
The Group has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for financial risk management. Before entering into significant transactions, due approval process by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee must be carried out based on related protocols and internal control procedures. The Group complies with its financial risk management policies at all times.
(3) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the changes in market prices. Market prices comprise currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk (such as equity instruments).
In practice, it is rarely the case that a single risk variable will change independently from other risk variables; there are usually interdependencies between risk variables. However, the sensitivity analysis disclosed below does not take into account the interdependencies between risk variables.
Foreign currency risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue or expense are denominated in a different currency from the Group’s functional currency) and the Group’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
- 53 -
FARADAY TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Group has certain foreign currency receivables denominated in the same foreign currency with certain foreign currency payables, therefore natural hedge is achieved. The Group also uses forward contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk on certain items denominated in foreign currencies. Hedge accounting is not applied as they did not qualify for hedge accounting criteria. Furthermore, as net investments in foreign subsidiaries are for strategic purposes, they are not hedged by the Group.
The foreign currency sensitivity analysis of the possible change in foreign exchange rates on the Group's profit is performed on significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as of the end of the reporting period. The Group's foreign currency risk is mainly related to the volatility in the exchange rates for USD and RMB. The information of the sensitivity analysis is as follows:
When NTD strengthens/weakens against USD by 10%, the profit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 would decrease/increase by NT$110,172 thousand and NT$134,192 thousand, respectively.
When NTD strengthens/weakens against RMB by 10%, the profit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 would decrease/increase by NT$239,063 thousand and NT$205,831 thousand, respectively.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates primarily related to the Group's debt instrument investments at variable and fixed interest rates and bank loans with variable interest rates.
The interest rate sensitivity analysis is performed on items exposed to interest rate risk as at the end of the reporting period, including investments and loans with variable interest rates. At the reporting date, a rise/fall of 0.1% of interest rate in a reporting period could cause the profit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 to increase/decrease by NT$8,382 thousand and NT$6,894 thousand, respectively.

Equity price risk
The Group’s unlisted equity securities and other investments are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment objectives. The Group’s unlisted equity securities and other investment are classified under financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Group manages the equity price risk through diversification. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Group’s top management for reviews and approvals on a regular basis.
Please refer to Note 12(9) for sensitivity analysis information of equity instruments whose fair value measurement is categorized under Level 3.
(4) Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from operating activities (primarily for contract assets, accounts receivable and notes receivable) and from its financing activities, including bank deposits and other financial instruments.
Credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to credit risk management. Credit limits are established for all trading partners based on their financial position, rating from credit rating agencies, historical experience, prevailing economic condition and the Group’s internal rating criteria etc. Certain trading partners’ credit risk will also be managed by taking credit enhancing procedures, such as requesting for prepayment.
As of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, top ten customers represented 35%, 67% and 54% of the total contract assets and accounts receivable of the Group, respectively. The credit concentration risk of other contract assets and accounts receivable is insignificant.
Credit risk from balances with banks, fixed income securities and other financial instruments is managed by the Group’s treasury in accordance with the Group’s policy. The Group only transacts with counterparties approved by the internal control procedures, which are banks and financial institutions, companies and government entities with good credit rating and with no significant default risk. Consequently, there is no significant credit risk for these counterparties.
- 55 -
The Group adopted IFRS 9 to assess the expected credit losses. Except for contract assets and the trade receivables, the remaining debt instrument investments which are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, low credit risk for these investments is a prerequisite upon acquisition and by using their credit risk as a basis for the distinction of categories. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether the credit risk has substantially increased in order to determine the method of measuring the loss allowance and the loss ratio. The measurement indicators of the Group are described as follows:
| Level of credit risk | Indicator | Measurement method for expected credit losses | Loss rate | Gross carrying amount | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| As of | ||||||
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | ||||
| Low credit risk | Rated as twAA- | 12-month expected credit losses | 0% | $100,000 | $100,000 | $100,000 |
| Low credit risk | Rated as twAAA | 12-month expected credit losses | 0% | $50,000 | $50,000 | $- |
| Simplified approach (Note) | Not applicable | Lifetime expected credit losses | 0%-100% | $2,046,183 | $1,791,598 | $2,279,984 |
Note: By using simplified approach loss allowance (lifetime expected credit losses) is measured at contract assets, notes receivable and accounts receivable.
(5) Liquidity risk management
The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash and cash equivalents, highly liquid equity investments, and bank borrowings. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities based on the contractual undiscounted payments and contractual maturity. The payment amounts include the contractual interest.

FARADAY TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)
(7) Fair values of financial instruments
a. The methods and assumptions applied in determining the fair value of financial instruments:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Group to measure or disclose the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities:
i. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term loans, accounts payable and other payables approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
ii. For financial assets traded in an active market with standard terms and conditions, their fair value is determined based on market quotation price (including listed equity securities and bonds etc.) at the reporting date.
iii. Fair value of equity instruments (including unlisted equity securities) without active market and market quotations cannot be reliably measured. Its amount is estimated using the market approach or asset approach based on parameters such as prices based on market transactions of equity instruments of identical or comparable entities and other relevant information.
iv. The financial assets measured at amortized cost, long-term payables and lease liabilities are determined by discounted cash flow analysis. The Group estimates the fair value based on book value due to the insignificant difference between the fair value from discounted cash flow analysis and carrying amount.
v. Fair value of financial liabilities without market quotations, bank loans and other non-current liabilities are determined based on the counterparty prices or valuation method. The valuation method uses DCF method as a basis, and the assumptions such as the interest rate and discount rate are primarily based on relevant information of similar instrument (such as yield curves published by the GreTai Securities Market, average prices for Fixed Rate Commercial Paper published by Reuters and credit risk, etc.)
- 59 -
vi. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is measured using publicly available quotations. When public quotations are not available, the fair value of non-option derivative financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis based on the applicable yield curve over their duration, while the fair value of option derivative financial instruments is calculated using an option pricing model.
b. Fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost
The carrying amount of the Group's financial instruments measured at amortized cost, except for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair value. The table below lists the fair value of other financial assets measured at amortized cost:
| Carrying amount | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | |
| Financial assets: | |||

(9) Fair value measurement hierarchy
(a) Fair value measurement hierarchy
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. Level 1, 2 and 3 inputs are described as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date
- 61 -
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.
(b) Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s assets and liabilities
The Group does not have assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
