Auditors' report

To GOLD CIRCUIT ELECTRONICS LTD.:

Foreword

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of GOLD CIRCUIT ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries (Gold Circuit Electronics Group) on March 31, 2025 and 2024 and the related consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity, consolidated statements of cash flow and notes to the consolidated financial statements (including the material accounting policies summary) from January 1 to March 31, 2025 and 2024. It is the responsibility of the management to prepare financial statements that fairly express the Company's consolidated financial position in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Accounting Standard No. 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express conclusions on the consolidated financial statements based on our review results.

Scope

We conducted our review in accordance with the "Review of Financial Statements" of the Review Standards No. 2410. The procedures for reviewing the consolidated financial statements include inquiry (mainly with the responsible personnel in finance and accounting), analytical procedures and other review procedures. The scope of review work is obviously smaller than the scope of audit work. Therefore, we may not be able to see all the material matters that can be identified through the audit work, so we cannot express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and International Accounting Standard No. 34 "Interim Financial Reporting," as endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, so as not to fairly present the consolidated financial position of Gold Circuit Electronics Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 and their consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods then ended.

The application guidance on classification of financial assets as revised in the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments"

The amendments are mainly related to the classification of financial assets, including:

  1. If the financial asset contains a contingency for the timing or amount of the cash flow of a changeable contract, and the nature of the contingency and the changes in the basic loan risk and cost are not directly related (e.g. whether the debtor achieves the reduction of a specific carbon emissions), when the following two conditions are met, the contractual cash flow of such financial asset is still solely for the payment of the principal and the interest on the principal amount outstanding:

  2. The contractual cash flows generated from all possible scenarios (before or after the contingency) are fully for the payment of the principal and the interest on the outstanding principal amount; and

  3. There is no significant difference between the contractual cash flows generated from all possible scenarios and the cash flows of the financial instruments with the same contractual terms but without the characteristics of contingency.

  4. The financial assets with no right to recourse refer to the final right of the enterprise to receive cash flows, which is limited to the cash flows generated by specific assets according to the contract.

  5. The Company clarifies that the contract connection tool is used to establish multiple levels of securities through the payment structure of the canvas to establish the payment priority of the financial asset holders, resulting in concentration of credit risk and the distribution of cash shortfalls from the underlying assets among different levels of securities not proportionate.

When applying the amendments for the first time, they should be applied retrospectively without the need to restate the comparative periods. The effects that are applied for the first time initial application should be recognized on the initial application date. However, if the enterprise can conduct restating without using the hindsight, it may choose to restate the comparative period.

As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the consolidated company was continuously evaluating the effect of the amendments to the financial position and financial performance.

Note 1: Unless otherwise expressly remarked, the aforementioned new/ Amendment/ Amended Rules or Interpretation come into effect in the fiscal year starting from the respective specified effective dates.

  1. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Assets sales or contribution between the investor and the affiliated company or joint venture.”

The amendment provides that if a consolidated company sells or contributes assets to affiliated companies (or joint ventures), or the consolidated company loses the control over a subsidiary but retains significant influence on the subsidiaries (or joint control), and if the aforementioned assets or subsidiary in compliance with the definition of a business under IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” the consolidated company is to recognize the profit and loss of the transactions fully.

In addition, if a Consolidated Company sells or contributes assets to affiliated companies (or joint ventures), or the Consolidated Company loses the


control over a subsidiary in the trade with affiliated companies (or joint ventures) but retains significant influence on the subsidiaries (or joint control), and if the aforementioned assets or subsidiary not in compliance with the definition of IFRS 3 "Business," the Consolidated Company is to recognize the profit and loss of the transactions only within the equity scope of the affiliated companies (or joint ventures) irrelevant to the investors, in other words, the profit and loss attributable to the Consolidated Company should be offset.

  1. IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements"

IAS 1 "Expression of Financial Statements" will be replaced with IFRS 18. The main changes include:

  • The gains and expenses in the statement of income should be classified into operating, investment, financing, income tax and discontinued operations.
  • The statement of income statement should contain operating profit/loss, pre-tax profit/loss before financing and sub-total and total of profit/loss.
  • Guidelines are provided to strengthen aggregation and segmentation requirements: the consolidated company must identify the assets, liabilities, equity, gains, expenses and cash flows generated from individual transactions or other matters and conduct classification and aggregation based on the common characteristics, so that each item on a single line in the primary financial statement has at least one similar characteristic. Items with dissimilar characteristics should be segmented in the primary financial statements and the notes. The consolidated company should only mark the items as "other" when it cannot find a more informative label.
  • Requirements for provision of guidance to enhance aggregation and disaggregation: the Consolidated Company should identify assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, losses and cash flows in each transaction or other events and classify and aggregate them based on shared characteristics so that the main line items presented in the financial statements share at least one similar characteristic.

  • The application guidance on derecognition of financial liabilities as revised in the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments"

As the amendments state, when an enterprise uses an electronic payment system to settle financial liabilities in cash, it may choose to derecognize the

13


financial liabilities before the settlement date if the following conditions are met:

  • The enterprise does not have the actual ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instructions.
  • The enterprise does not have the actual ability to withdraw the cash to be used for settlement due to the payment instructions.
  • The settlement risk related to the electronic payment system is not significant.

The consolidated company should apply the amendments retrospectively without the need to restate the comparative periods. The effects that are applied for the first time should be recognized on the initial application date.

  1. Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity”

Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity is a contract whose source of electricity depends on uncontrollable natural factors and either party of the contract assumes the uncertainty risk of actual power generation as a result, including the purchase or sale of a contract referencing nature-dependent electricity or a financial instrument related to such said electricity. As stated in the amendments, if the consolidated company enters into a contract for the purchase of nature-dependent electricity and exposes itself to the risk that the amount of electricity purchased is greater than the demand, and that the design and operation of the electricity market require the consolidated company to sell unused electricity within a specific period, this sale does not necessarily make the consolidated company incompliant with the conditions that require holding of the electricity purchase contract for anticipated electricity usage needs, and thereby the contract shall be deemed a financial instrument. If the consolidated company buys the same amount of electricity in the same market within a reasonable period after the sale of electricity, it still meets the conditions that require holding the electricity purchase contract for anticipated electricity usage needs.

As stated in the amendments, if the consolidated company enters into a contract referencing nature-dependent electricity and designates it as a hedging instrument for an expected transaction, it may designate as a hedged item the

14


transaction of a variable amount of anticipated electricity consistent with the aforementioned contract.

The consolidated company should apply the amendments retrospectively and judge whether the contract referencing nature-dependent electricity complies with the amendments related to the conditions that require holding the electricity purchase contract for anticipated electricity usage needs. The consolidated company does not need to restate comparative periods and the effects that are applied for the first time should be recognized on the initial application date. The application of the requirements related to hedge accounting should be deferred.

In addition to the impact referred to above, the Consolidated Company continued to assess the impact of the other standards and interpretation on the financial position and financial performance up to the date the consolidated financial reports approved and published; also, the relevant influences would be disclosed upon the completion of assessment.

VI. Summary of significant accounting policies

(I) Declaration in compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. The consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by IFRS accounting standards in the annual financial statements.

(II) Basis of preparation

Except for the financial instruments measured at fair value, investment properties, and the net defined benefit liabilities recognized at fair value after the project assets are deducted from the current value of defined benefit obligations, this Consolidated Financial Statement has been duly prepared on the grounds of historical costs.

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

  1. Degree 1 input value: refers to the quotation of the same asset or liability in an active market as of the evaluation (before adjustment)

15


  1. Degree 2 input value: refers to the direct (the price) or indirect (inference of price) observable input value of asset or liability further to the quotation of Level 1.
  2. Degree 3 input value: the unobservable input value of asset or liability.

(III) Grounds of consolidation

The present Consolidated financial reports are the financial reports containing the Company, and the entities under the control by the Company (subsidiaries). Consolidated statements of income of comprehensive income already covered the operating profit and/or loss of the subsidiaries, which have been acquired or disposed of the current term, from the date of acquisition until the date of disposal. The financial reports of the subsidiaries have been duly adjusted so that their accounting policies would be consistent with the accounting policies of the Consolidated Company. Upon preparation of the consolidated financial reports, the transactions among entities, balances, gains, expenses and losses on account have been written out in full. The total comprehensive incomes of the subsidiaries were non-controlling interest attributed to the Company's owners and the non-controlling interest, to become the balance of loss even as the non-controlling interest.

When the change in the ownership equity on a subsidiary of any consolidated company does not result in a loss of control, it is processed as an equity transaction. The book value of the Consolidated Company and the non-controlling equity has been adjusted to reflect the change in the relative equity on the subsidiary. The difference between the adjusted amount of the non-controlling equity and the considerations paid or collected is directly recognized as equity and attributable to the Company's shareholders.

When the Consolidated Company loses control of a subsidiary, the disposal of gains or losses is the difference between the following two: (1) the sum of the fair value of the consideration collected and the remainder of the investment in the foregoing subsidiary according to the fair value on the date the control was lost and (2) the sum of assets (including good will) and liabilities and non-controlling interests of the said subsidiary according to the book value on the date the control was lost. Meanwhile, the amount relevant to the said subsidiary recognized in other combined gains or losses were managed on the same accounting grounds as those that it shall comply with if the Consolidated Company directly disposes of the relevant assets or liabilities.

16


Please refer to Note XI and Attachment 4 for the information, shareholding ratio and business operations of the subsidiary.

(IV) Other significant accounting policies

In addition to the following, please refer to the summary of significant accounting policies in the 2024 consolidated financial statements.

  1. Carbon expenses liability reserve

The carbon expenses liability reserve recognized in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, including the carbon fee collection regulations, is based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the current year's obligations and is recognized and measured based on the proportion of actual emissions to the annual emissions.

  1. Benefits after retirement

The interim pension cost is calculated based on the actuarial pension cost rate on the last day of the previous year, from the beginning of the year to the end of the period and is adjusted for significant market fluctuations, significant plan amendments, settlements or other significant one-time events.

  1. Income tax expenses

The income tax expenditure denotes the total of the income tax payable in the current term and the deferred income tax. The interim income tax is assessed on an annual basis and is calculated based on the tax rate applicable to the expected total earnings of the year, that is, the interim income before tax.

V. Critical accounting judgments, estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty

When the consolidated company is developing significant accounting estimates, the possible impact of market fluctuations is included in the consideration of the relevant significant estimates, such as cash flow, growth rate, discount rate and profitability. The management will continue to review the estimates and basic assumptions. Please refer to the description of Key Sources of Uncertainty over Critical Accounting Judgments, Assumptions and Estimates in the 2024 consolidated financial statements.

Notes receivable and accounts receivable

The Consolidated Company's average credit period for sale of commodities was 180 days. The notes receivable and accounts receivable were collected without interest. Considering that the Consolidated Company's trading counterparts were primarily domestic/foreign renowned companies/entities with fair goodwill, no material credit risk was expected to arising therefor. Upon determination of the recoverability of notes receivable and accounts receivable, the Consolidated Company took into account and all changes in the quality of credit of the accounts receivable during the period starting


from the initial granting of the loan until the balance sheet date. The historical experiences showed that most of the notes and accounts receivable have been recovered successfully.

In order to mitigate the credit risk, on the balance sheet date, the Consolidated Company would recheck on a case-by-case basis the recoverable amount of notes and accounts receivable to assure that for the notes and accounts receivable which were not recoverable, appropriate impairment loss has been duly amortized. Accordingly, the Consolidated Company's management held that the Consolidated Company's credit risks had been significantly mitigated.

The Consolidated Company recognized the allowance losses on notes and accounts receivable based on the lifetime expected credit loss. The lifetime expected credit losses were calculated using the reserve matrix, by considering the customers' past default records and current financial position, industrial economic situations, as well as the recoverable amount. As the Consolidated Company's credit loss history showed that there was no significant difference among the loss patterns of different customer bases, the reserve matrix didn't further divide the customer bases, but only established the expected credit losses based on the number of days for which the notes and accounts receivable became overdue.

Where any evidence showed that the trading counterparts had severe financial difficulties, and it was impossible for the Consolidated Company to reasonably expect the recoverable amount, e.g. the counterparts were under restructuring and liquidation, the Consolidated Company would write off the related notes and accounts receivable. However, the pursuit of recovery would be continued, and the amount recovered from such pursuit would be recognized as gains or losses.

The allowance losses on notes and accounts receivable measured by the Consolidated Company based on the reserve matrix are stated as following:

(IV) Objectives and policies of financial risk management

The Consolidated Company manages foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, equity instrument price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk to reduce the potential adverse effects of market uncertainty on the financial performance of the Company. The Company's significant financial plans are reviewed by the Audit Committee and/or the Board of Directors in accordance with relevant regulations and internal control systems. The Company strictly abides by relevant financial standards for overall financial risk management and division of authority when executing financial plans.

The Consolidated Company hedged against the exposure through derivative financial instruments, in order to mitigate the effect posed by such risks. The application of derivative financial instruments was governed by the policies passed by the Consolidated Company's board of directors, as the written principles for application of foreign risk, interest risk, credit risk, derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments and residual current fund. The internal auditors kept rechecking the compliance with the policies and limit of exposure. The Consolidated Company never engaged in transactions of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) for the purpose of any speculative operations.

  1. Market risk

The major financial risks incurred by operating activities upon the Consolidated Company included the risk of changes in foreign exchange rate (see (1) below) and risk of changes in interest rate (see (2) below). The Consolidated Company is engaged in various transactions of derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign exchange and interest rate risks to be borne by them, including the hedge against the foreign exchange risk arising from export sales with forward foreign exchange and FX swaps contracts.

The Consolidated Company's exposure to the market risk over related financial instruments and the management and measurement methods adopted by the Consolidated Company with respect to the risk remained unchanged.

44


(1) Foreign exchange rate risk

Several subsidiaries of the Company engaged in foreign currency-denominated sales and purchases, which exposed the Consolidated Company the risk of foreign exchange rate changes therefor. About 90.56% of the Consolidated Company's sales were not denominated in the functional currency adopted by the group entity engaged in the relevant transaction. About 34.41% of the costs of goods sold were not denominated in the functional currency adopted by the group entity engaged in the relevant transaction. Insofar as it is permitted by policies, the Consolidated Company utilized forward foreign exchange contracts to help manage the risk.

For the book value of the Consolidated Company's non-functional currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities (including the non-functional currency-denominated monetary items already written off in the consolidated financial statements), please see Note XXXI.

Sensitivity analysis

The Consolidated Company were primarily exposed to the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates in USD.

The following table details the consolidated company's sensitivity analysis when the exchange rate of the NTD and RMB (functional currency) increases and decreases by 2% against each relevant foreign currency. 2% represents the sensitivity ratio applied by the Consolidated Company when the foreign exchange rate risk is reported to the management within the Group and also the management's evaluation on reasonable changes of the foreign exchange rate. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency-denominated monetary items and forward foreign exchange contracts designated to hedge against cash flows, and their translation at the end of the reporting period was adjusted by changes in exchange rates by 2%. The positive figures in the following table indicate the amount decreased for the net profit before tax when NTD against the related currencies appreciates 2%; when NTD against the related currencies depreciates 2%, the effects to the net profit before tax will be negative at the same amount.

Effect of USD

January 1 to March 31, 2025 January 1 to March 31, 2024
Loss $ 343,384 (i) $ 196,993 (i)

(i) Primarily as a result of the Consolidated Company’s receivables and payables which were denominated in USD and still outstanding on the balance sheet date, without hedging against cash flows.

The Consolidated Company’s sensitivity to exchange rates declined in the current period, primarily as a result of the increase in the Company’s sales denominated in USD, resulting in the increase in the balance of the Consolidated Company’s accounts receivable denominated in USD.

(2) Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk arose as a result of the loans bearing interest accruing at fixed interest rate and floating interest rate borrowed by the Consolidated Company. The Consolidated Company maintains an adequate combination of fixed and floating interest rates to manage the interest rate risk.

The book values of the Consolidated Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates on the balance sheet date are stated as following:

March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 March 31, 2024
With fair value interest rate risk
- Financial liabilities $ 71,796 $ 74,125 $ 81,053
With cash flow interest rate risk
- Financial assets 9,540,799 9,258,576 8,428,667
- Financial liabilities 4,496,191 3,736,962 1,690,510

47

Sensitivity analysis

The following analyses of sensitivity were determined based on the interest rate risk exposure if derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet dates. For assets and liabilities with floating interest rates, the analysis method is based on the assumption that the amount of liabilities outstanding at the balance sheet date are in outstanding during the reporting period. 50 base points mean the interest rate change ratio applied by the Group when it reported interest rates to the management, and also the management’s evaluation on reasonable changes of the interest rate.

If interest rates had increased/decreased by 50 basis points, with all other variables held constant, the consolidated company's net income before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by NT$24,864 thousand and NT$33,286 thousand, respectively, mainly due to the consolidated company's exposure to the risk of changes in the interest rates of its time deposits and borrowings.

2. Credit risk

The credit risk denotes the risk that the Consolidated Company might incur a loss when the trading counterparts default the obligations under the contracts. As of the balance sheet date, the top credit risk the Consolidated Company might incur in financial losses due to failure by the counterparts in failure in performance of the obligations and the Consolidated Company’s provision of financial guarantees primarily come from notes the book amount of notes and accounts receivable recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.

Operation-related credit risk

The outstanding accounts receivable of the Company are mainly from customers around the world, and most of them are not provided as collaterals or credit guarantees. Although the Company has procedures in place to monitor and reduce the credit risk of accounts receivable, there is no guarantee that such procedures can completely prevent the loss caused by the credit risk. Such credit risk will increase when economic conditions deteriorate. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance of accounts receivable of the top ten customers accounted for 80% and 83% of the balance of the Company’s accounts


receivable, respectively; the credit risk concentration of the remaining accounts receivable is relatively insignificant.

In order to mitigate the credit risk, on the balance sheet date, the Consolidated Company would recheck on a case-by-case basis the recoverable amount of notes and accounts receivable to assure that for the notes and accounts receivable which were not recoverable, appropriate impairment loss has been duly amortized. Accordingly, the Company's management held that the Consolidated Company's credit risks had been significantly mitigated.

3. Liquidity risk

The Consolidated Company managed and maintained sufficient cash and cash equivalent to support the Group's business operations and minimize the impact of changes in cash flow. The Consolidated Company's management closely watches the usage of the financing credit lines in banks and assures faithful compliance of the terms and conditions set forth under the loan contracts.

To the Consolidated Company, bank loans functioned as a key source of liquidity. Please refer to Note (2) "Facility" for the Consolidated Company's unused facility.

(1) Liquidity and interest rate risk of non-derivative financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities remaining contract maturity analysis was prepared in accordance with the earliest payment date expected of the Consolidated Company and the undiscounted cash flows (including principal and estimated interest) of financial liabilities. Therefore, the Consolidated Company may be required to immediately repay the bank loan that is illustrated in the following table without considering the probability that the bank may immediately exercise such right. The other non-derivative financial liabilities maturity analysis was prepared on the agreed repayment date.

The undiscounted interest for the cash flow of interest payable at floating interest rate derived from the bond yield curves at the balance sheet date.
