INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Global Lighting Technologies Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Global Lighting Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 Matter
Key audit matter is a matters that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The matter was 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 the matter.
The key audit matter in the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is stated below:
Validity of Occurrence of Sales Revenue from Specific Customers
Since the Group is a listed company, management may be under pressure to meet the financial targets. Furthermore, operating revenue is one of the important indicators to measure the Group’s profitability and operating performance, and recognition of revenue is inherently a higher risk. The amount of revenue from specific customers for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $603,497 thousand, which accounted for 21% of the consolidated operating revenue. The impact of the sales on the consolidated financial statements was significant. Therefore, we identified the validity of occurrence of sales revenue from specific customers as a key audit matter for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 for details on accounting policies. Refer to Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements for relevant disclosures of revenue recognition. Our main audit procedures performed in respect of the aforementioned key audit matter were as follows:
- We obtained an understanding of the internal controls related to the aforementioned sales, assessed the design of the controls, determined that controls have been implemented and tested the operating effectiveness of these controls.
- We performed substantive testing of the aforementioned sales, selected appropriate samples and checked them against the external transaction documents and the recovery of receivables. We verified the validity of the occurrence of the transactions and also checked for any abnormalities in payment collections.
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 International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such 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.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’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 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.
Auditors' 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. 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 consolidated 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:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group'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 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our group 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.
- 3 -
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 consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Chao-Mei Chen and Chiang-Shiun Chen.

Note: Unless stated otherwise, the above IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
- Items of income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss shall be classified into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories.
- The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
- Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Group shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Group shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Group labels items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative label.
- Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Group as a whole, the Group shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Group’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Statement of Compliance
These interim 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” as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements.
- 13 -
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value, and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
a. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
b. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
c. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e., its subsidiaries).
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those by the Company.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
See Note 12, Tables 6 and 7 for the detailed information of subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).
Other Material Accounting Policies
Except for the following, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
a. Retirement benefits
Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.
b. Income tax expense
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period's pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

5. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations, and assumptions on 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.
When developing material accounting estimates, the Group considers the possible impact of climate change, US reciprocal tariffs and related government policies and regulations on the cash flow projection, growth rates, discount rates, profitability and other relevant material estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

These investments in equity instruments are held for medium- to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments' fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group's strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.
The Board of Directors resolved to dissolve and liquidate Sensel Inc. in June 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the liquidation process was still in progress. The Group recognized the fair value loss of $310,294 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was accounted for as an unrealized loss on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
In April and May 2024, the Group participated in the capital increase of the foreign investment company with US$7,000 thousand (equivalent to NT$223,346 thousand) for medium- to long-term strategic purposes; the management designated these investments as at FVTOCI.
In March 2025 and October 2024, the Group participated in the capital increase of the domestic investment company with $37,000 thousand and $25,000 thousand, respectively for medium- to long-term strategic purposes; the management designated these investments as at FVTOCI.

a. Notes receivable and accounts receivable
The average credit period of sales of goods is 60 to 120 days on a monthly basis. The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher, and credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved annually.
The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix prepared by reference to the past default experience of the customer, the customer's current financial position, economic condition of the industry in which the customer operates and industry outlook. As the Group's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group's different customer base. The Group assesses the possibility of recovery based on the past due days of accounts receivables and determines the expected credit loss rate by reference to default risk as a weight.
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.
The following table details the loss allowance of notes receivable based on the Group's provision matrix.

b. Other receivables
Other receivables comprise value-added tax refund receivable and outstanding interest receivables from banks. The Group only transacts with counterparties that have good credit ratings and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to trace the conditions of the receivables with reference to the past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position, in determining whether the credit risk of other receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition as well as for measuring the expected credit losses. As of June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Group assessed that the expected credit loss of other receivables was considered to be 0%.

The above items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings
Main buildings
Decorating constructions
Machine equipment
Molding equipment
Leasehold improvements
Other equipment
15-50 years
5-31 years

2 years
5 years
3-10 years
There was no impairment of the property, plant and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The decorating constructions of part of the buildings and machine equipment no longer met manufacturing needs; in consideration of future operating plans and current capacity plans, the Group estimated that there would be no future cash inflows from these assets, and the value-in-use was $0. The recoverable amounts of these assets were therefore assessed to be lower than their carrying amounts, leading to the recognition of an impairment loss of $66,964 thousand which was recognized in other gains and losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

c. Retained earnings and dividends policy
Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, where the Company made a profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years and setting aside as special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations. The current year's distributable earnings are the current year's net profit after deduction of the aforementioned amounts plus the accumulated undistributed retained earnings. The board of directors may approve all or part of the distributable surplus in the current year to be distributed as dividends (including cash dividends or share dividends) in the current year in consideration of financial, business and other operating factors. However, dividends to be distributed for the current year should not be lower than 10% of the net profit after tax for the current year if the profit has not been used to offset losses or set aside as special reserve. Additionally, cash dividends should not be lower than 10% of the total dividends to be distributed for the current year. For policies on the distribution of employees' compensation and remuneration of directors, refer to employees' compensation and remuneration of directors in Note 22(g).
When a special reserve is appropriated for cumulative net debit balance reserves from prior period during surplus distribution, the sum of net profit for current period and items other than net profit that are included directly in the unappropriated earnings for current period is used if the prior unappropriated earnings is not sufficient. Before the Articles is amended, the special reserve is appropriated from the prior unappropriated earnings.
The appropriations of earnings for 2024 and 2023, which were approved in the shareholders' meetings on May 28, 2025 and May 28, 2024, respectively, were as follows:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Profit for the period attributable to owners of the Company | $ 5,958 | $ 163,220 | $ 53,464 | $ 292,200 |
Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (in thousands of shares):
| For the Three Months Ended June 30 | For the Six Months Ended June 30 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share | 128,864 | 128,864 | 128,864 | 128,864 |

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, equity investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term borrowings and lease liabilities. The Group’s corporate treasury function monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
1) Market risk
The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
There had been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
a) Foreign currency risk
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 32.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the New Taiwan dollar (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit and other equity associated with the New Taiwan dollar strengthening 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the New Taiwan dollar against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and other equity, and the balances below would be negative.
| U.S. Dollar Impact | Japanese Yen Impact | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| For the Six Months Ended June 30 | For the Six Months Ended June 30 | |||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| (Loss) profit | $(46,165) | $(41,528) | $(174) | $(188) |
The result was mainly attributable to the exposure on bank deposits, accounts receivable and accounts payable in U.S. dollars and Japanese yen that were not hedged at the end of the year.
The Group’s sensitivity to U.S. dollars increased during the current period due to the increase in net assets denominated in U.S. dollars, and the sensitivity to Japanese yen had little difference compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
b) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings and using interest rate swap contracts and forward interest rate contracts.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rate risk at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair value interest rate risk | |||
| Financial assets | $ 325,314 | $ 854,810 | $ 170,500 |
| Financial liabilities | 432,615 | 439,431 | 650,429 |
| Cash flows interest rate risk | |||
| Financial assets | 3,956,173 | 3,484,165 | 4,205,212 |
| Financial liabilities | 471,566 | - | - |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate assets and liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the asset and liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables been held constant, the Group’s pretax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 would have increased/decreased by $4,356 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its demand deposits.
If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables been held constant, the Group’s pretax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 would have increased/decreased by $5,257 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its demand deposits.
The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates decreased during the current period mainly due to the decrease in variable rate deposits and increase in long-term borrowings.
c) Other price risk
The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in equity securities.
- 38 -
- 39 -
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If equity prices had been 10% higher/lower, pre-tax other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 would have increased/decreased by $18,570 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.
If equity prices had been 10% higher/lower, pre-tax other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 would have increased/decreased by $54,559 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.
The Group’s sensitivity to equity prices during the current year mainly due to the decrease in equity securities held.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. As of the end of the reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation, is primary from the book value of its financial assets.
The Group uses other publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored.
The Group’s credit risk is concentrated in its top 10 customers.
The Group’s concentration of credit risk of 87.12%, 85.96% and 88.82% in total trade receivables as of June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively, was related to the Group’s ten largest customers.
3) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are exposed to liquidity risk since these assets have no active markets.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate bank balance and banking facilities, and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows as well as the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Group had available unutilized bank loan facilities set out in (b) below.
a) Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following table details the Group's remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed upon repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed upon repayment dates.
