INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 significant 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, 2023 and 2022, 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 Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31,2023. 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.

Key audit matters for the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:

Recognition for Sales Revenue

The sales revenue of Integrated Driver Controller is the main indicator of financial and business performance evaluated by investors and the management. It possibly exists the pressure to achieve the financial target, and it might result in the risk of the occurrence of sales revenue. Therefore, the sales revenue of Integrated Driver Controller is considered as a key audit matter for the financial year ended December 31, 2023.

Refer to Notes 4 and 22 for the accounting policy, accounting estimation and disclosure information. Our audit procedures related to the abovementioned Key Audit Matters included the following:

  1. We evaluated the design of internal control related to sales and collection cycle and the implement of the internal control.

  2. We obtained customer ranking list in 2023, and analyze the differences of customers and its sales amount.

  4. We sampled purchase orders, shipping documents bills of lading, and collection records in revenue breakdown to ensure the occurrence of sales revenue.

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

Valuation of Inventory

Due to high market demand fluctuation and rapid technological development, the inventories may turn obsolete or have a lower net realizable value which may result in inventories being impaired. The Company has performed impairment assessment on inventories through evaluation of aging and net realizable value of inventories quarterly. The management has practiced their professional judgement in estimating the possible loss on impairment based on the sales performance of each product. Therefore, inventory valuation is considered as a key audit matter for the financial year ended December 31, 2023.

Refer to Notes 4 and 10 for the accounting policy, accounting estimation and disclosure information. Our audit procedures related to the abovementioned Key Audit Matters included the following:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the Company’s accounting policies and procedures on the assessment of impairment through analyzing the net realizable value calculation report and inventory aging report prepared by the management. We have inspected the supporting documents of recent selling price, and re-calculated the net realizable value of inventory to ensure its accuracy and reasonableness of the management's estimation on impairment loss.

  2. We obtained an understanding of the Company’s judgement on the estimation of impairment loss for obsolete items information and discussed recent sales performance and the reasonableness on the estimates of inventory devaluation in the future. We also performed inspection on recent sales to evaluate the reasonableness of the impairment loss provided on obsolete stock.

Responsibilities of Corporate Management and Governance Hierarchy 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 level 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 members of the Audit Committee) is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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.

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

  1. 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.

  2. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company 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.

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 for the years ended December 31, 2023 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 Yu-Hong Kuo and Chih-Ming Shao.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

The present Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • b. Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and the net defined benefit liabilities recognized in the amount of the present value of defined benefit obligation less the fair value of any plan assets.

The evaluation of fair value could be classified into Level 1 to Level 3 by the observable intensity and importance of related input value:

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • 2) Level 2 inputs are 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); and

  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company accounts for subsidiaries by using the equity method. In order to agree with the of amount of net income, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to shareholders of the parent between the consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements, the differences of the accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis are adjusted by the accounts of investments accounted for using equity method, share of profits of subsidiaries and share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries in the parent company only financial statements.

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

  • c. Standards in differentiating current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  • 1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; and

  • 3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

  • 1) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • 2) Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Those not as aforementioned current assets or current liabilities are classified as non-current assets or non-current liabilities.

d. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

For the purpose of presenting financial statements, the functional currencies of the Company and the Group entities (including subsidiaries in other countries that use currency different from the currency of the Company) are translated into the presentation currency - New Taiwan dollars as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • e. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

  • f. Investments in subsidiaries

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries.

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) that is controlled by the Company.

Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of equity of subsidiaries.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the Company losing the control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The Company recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.

When the Company’s share of loss of a subsidiary exceeds its interest in that subsidiary (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues recognizing its share of further loss, if any.

The Company assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the investee’s financial statements as a whole. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes a reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount (net of amortization or depreciation) before any impairment loss recognized. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.

Profit or loss resulting from downstream transactions is eliminated in full in the parent company only financial statements. Profit and loss resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries is recognized only to the extents that are not related to the interests between the Company and subsidiaries.

g. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

  • h. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is carried at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

i. Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recognized on a straightline basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognized in profit or loss.

  • j. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs to.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cashgenerating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

k. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

i) Measurement category

The Company’s financial assets include those measured at FVTPL, and at amortized cost.

  • A. Financial asset at FVTPL

The equity instruments that are not specified as FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

meet the criteria of amortized cost or FVTOCI are mandatorily required to be measured at FVTPL.

Any dividends, interest earned and gain or loss arising from the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss at fair value. The determination methodology of fair value of financial instruments states in Note 29.

  • B. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet both two following conditions will subsequently be measured at amortized cost:

  • (1) The objective of the business model to hold the financial asset is to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • (2) The cash flows from contractual terms of the financial asset on specified dates are solely matched for payments of principal and interests on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, account receivables at amortized cost, other financial assets, and refundable deposits, are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method, subtracting any impairment loss. Foreign exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.

Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from obtaining date, high liquidation level, readily convertible to a known amount of cash at any time, and low risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

  • ii) Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the impairment loss is recognized by expected credit loss method for financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivables).

The loss allowance for accounts receivables is determined by the expected credit losses over the lifetime. For other financial assets at amortized cost, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly after initial recognition, a loss allowance is determined by the expected credit losses resulting from the possible default events within 12 months after the reporting date. If, on the other hand, there has been a significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition, a loss allowance is determined by the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

Expected credit losses (ECLS) reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. In contrast, Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

All impairment loss of the financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount are through an allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset.

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

iii) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

When a financial asset carried at amortized cost is derecognized in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the consideration is recognized in profit or loss.

2) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. The carrying amount is calculated by weighted average of stock types. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

  • 3) Financial liabilities

  • i) Subsequent measurement

All the financial liabilities are measured by amortized cost using the effective interest method.

  • ii) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

  • l. Provisions

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

  • m. Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when customer’s contract obligations are satisfied.

Revenue comes from sales of Human-Machine Interface devices ICs. Revenue is recognized when the ICs start to be shipped or are delivered to the specific locations instructed by customers, at which time the customer has full discretion over the ICs. Revenue and accounts receivables are recognized concurrently.

The Company considers varying contractual terms to estimate sales returns and recognize refund liabilities, which is classified under other payables.

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

n. Lease

The Company evaluates if the contract belongs to or includes the lease the commencement date.

The Company as a lessee

Except for the leases of low-value asset or short-term leases recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the balance sheets from the commencement date.

  • o. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets (assets which are substantially ready for their intended use or sale through a fairly long period) are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other than that which is stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

p. Employee benefits

  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost, including current service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset,) is recognized as employee benefits expense in the period it occurs. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability represents the actual deficit in the Company’s defined benefit plan.

  • q. Share-based payment arrangements

Equity-settled and share-based payment arrangements granted to employees

The fair value at the grant date of the equity-settled and share-based payments is expensed on a straightline basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s optimal estimate number of shares or options that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options.

The fair value at the grant date of the restricted shares for employees is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s best estimates of the number of shares or options that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in other equity - unearned employee benefits. For restricted stocks where employees have to pay to acquire those stocks, the Group will return

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

their payments on the stocks to employees when they resign. It should be recognized in payables.

When restricted shares for employees are issued, other equity - unearned employee benefits are recognized on the grant date, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - restricted shares for employees.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of restricted shares for employees that are expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expenses reflect the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - restricted shares for employees.

  • r. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

  • 1) Current tax

The tax on unappropriated earnings according to the Income Tax Law should be accrued in the year when the resolution regarding to the appropriated earnings is made in the shareholder meeting.

Any adjustment of prior years’ tax liability is counted in the current year’s tax provision.

  • 2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. In addition, a deferred tax liability is not recognized on taxable temporary difference arising from initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

  • 3) Current and deferred tax for the year

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the deferred tax is recognized in other comprehensive income.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Impairment of inventory

Net realizable value of inventory is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value was based on current market conditions and the historical experience of selling products of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.

The average credit period on sales of goods was 30-120 days. In order to minimize credit risk, management of the Company has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, management believes the Company’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Company recognizes the allowance loss for accounts receivable based on expected credit losses during the duration. The expected credit losses on accounts receivables are estimated by using an allowance matrix which references customer default records, customer’s current financial position, and general economic conditions of the industry. Due to the past experiences, there is no significant difference among the loss patterns of different customer groups. Therefore, the allowance matrix does not further distinguish the customer groups, and only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the overdue days of accounts receivable.

The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivables based on the Company’s allowance matrix.

Ending balance **December 31 ** **December 31 ** **December 31 **
2023
$ 1,237,268
2022
$ 1,237,268

Considering the synergy of integration of LCD driver and touch controller under the industry trend, the reverse merger was triggered by FocalTech Corporation, Ltd. on January 2, 2015, resulting the goodwill of $3,237,268 thousand. In 2018, the impacts of market improper competition and the shortage of wafer supply made the company a serious market share decline, which is expected to influence the market shares and gross margins in the future. Therefore, the recoverable amount from IDC (Integrated Driver Controller) less than the carrying value so the Company recognized the impairment loss of $2,000,000 thousand. In 2019, based on the market growth and market share gain in smartphone market, the Company estimated cash flows from sales of IDC (Integrated Driver Controller), and the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying value. Therefore, the Company did not recognize any impairment on goodwill.

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

The recoverable amount is calculated by IDC projected net cash flows, discounted at 15.55% and 13.98% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, under the assumptions of management team judgments and historical experiences with regard to future growth rates and gross margin.

19. RETIREMENT BENEFIT

a. Defined contribution plans

The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

b. Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Company’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

Present value of defined benefit obligation
Fair value of plan assets
Net defined benefit liability

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

  • 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic/and foreign/equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

  • 2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.

  • 3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

Discount rate
Expected rate of salary increase
**December 31 ** **December 31 **
2023
1.25%
4.5%
2022
1.25%
4.5%

If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

Discount rate
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease
Expected rate of salary increase
1% increase

  • 1) This type of capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or converted to share capital (at a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus annually).

This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.

  • c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

Under the Company’s Article of Incorporation, when distributing annual earnings, the Company shall pay taxes, offset its losses, set aside 10% as legal reserve, then set aside or reverse a special reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations. The Board of Directors shall prepare a distribution proposal for the remaining earnings plus the unappropriated retained earnings of previous years. Earnings distribution may be made in the form of shares after an approved resolution made by the shareholders’ meeting. Pursuant to the Company Act, the distributable dividends and bonuses or the legal reserve and the capital reserve (stipulated in Article 241, Paragraph 1 of the Company Act) in whole or in part may be paid in cash after a resolution has been adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of the board of directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors; and in addition to a report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting.

See Note 23(d) for policy stipulated in the Articles of Incorporation regarding to the remuneration for employees and directors.

Considering current and future development plans, investment conditions, capital requirements, and market competition situations, and shareholder benefits, The Company would appropriate the dividends to the shareholders not less than 10% of the current year’s earnings. The dividends could be paid in cash or shares. The cash portion should be equal or more than 10% of the total dividends. It is allowed not to distribute any cash dividend if the cash amount per share is less than NT 0.5.

Legal reserve should be appropriated from earnings until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

The Company is required to set aside additional special capital reserve equal to the total amount of items that are accounted for as deductions from stockholders’ equity shall be set aside from prior-year earnings.

The annual shareholders’ meeting on May 30, 2023 resolved to distribute the additional paid-in capital in the amount of $108,000 thousand, or $0.5 per share.

The appropriations of earnings for 2022 and 2021 were resolved by the annual shareholders’ meeting on May 30, 2023, and June 9, 2022, respectively. The details of the distribution are as follows:
