Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders Gigastorage Corporation

Audit Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Gigastorage Corporation (the “Company”) for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the relevant parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and relevant notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “parent company only financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors (please refer to the Other Matters paragraph), the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of Gigastorage Corporation as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and its parent company only financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with the requirements of regulations governing the preparation of financial statements by securities issuers.

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities of auditors for the audit of the parent company only financial statements. We are independent of Gigastorage Corporation in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors, 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 2024 parent company only financial statements of Gigastorage Corporation. These matters were addressed in the content of our audit of the parent company

  • 3 -

only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide separate opinions on those matters.

Key audit matters of the 2024 parent company only financial statements of Gigastorage Corporation were as follows:

Authenticity of Revenues

As stated in Note 10 to the parent company only financial statements, investments accounted for using the equity method of Gigastorage Corporation amounted to NT$3,363,432 thousand, or 57.08% of total assets as of December 31, 2024, and the shares of losses of subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures using the equity method was NT$202,141 thousand, including the losses of subsidiary of NT$184,782 thousand, or 61.32% of net losses before tax from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. The financial status and performance of its subsidiaries would significantly affect Gigastorage Corporation.

The sales revenues of Gigastorage Corporation and its subsidiaries are mainly from the sales of solar conductive plasma and solar silicon accessories. The sales revenues from specific clients and products changed significantly in 2024 and, therefore, we have included the authenticity of the aforementioned revenues as a key audit matter.

We have performed the following key audit procedures:

  1. We assessed the effectiveness of the design and implementation of internal control practices related to sales transactions by understanding the related internal control systems and operating procedures related to the sales transaction cycle.

  2. To confirm the authenticity of revenue, we selected samples from the sales details, reviewed the original customer orders, shipping documents or export declarations and sales invoices, and examined whether there were any abnormalities in the receivable collections and the customers to whom the sales were made.

Other Matters

The financial statements of certain equity-method investees have not been audited by us, but by other independent auditors. Therefore, of our opinions on the parent company only financial statements referred to above, the amounts included in the financial statements were based on the audit reports of other independent auditors. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the above-mentioned investments under the equity method amounted to NT$860,240 thousand and NT$754,362 thousand, or 14.60% and 13.20% of total assets, respectively; the share of the above (losses recognized under the equity method amounted to NT$(81,536) thousand and NT$18,378 thousand, or 27.06% and (5.33)% of net loss before tax, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The financial statements of certain equity-method investees prepared in accordance with different financial reporting framework have not been audited by us, but have been audited by other independent auditors in accordance with different auditing standards. The above-mentioned

  • 4 -

financial statements have been converted into adjusted financial statements that conform to the regulations governing the preparation of financial statements by securities issuers and we have performed the requisite audit procedures. Therefore, of our opinions on the parent company only financial statements referred to above, the amounts included in the financial statements were based on the audit reports of other independent auditors and the result of additional audit procedures performed in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and relevant provisions of auditing standards of the Republic of China. As of December 31, 2023, the above-mentioned investments under the equity method amounted to NT$3,149 thousand, or 0.06% of total assets; the share of the above losses recognized under the equity method amounted to NT$(961) thousand and NT$1,486 thousand, or 0.32% and (0.43)% of net loss before tax, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as the management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the parent company only financial statements to be free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the management is also responsible for assessing the ability of Gigastorage Corporation as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to a going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. Unless the management either intends to liquidate Gigastorage Corporation or to cease operations, or has no other realistic alternative but to do so.

Those in charge of corporate governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the reporting process of the financial statements of Gigastorage Corporation.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the accounting principles will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.

  • 5 -

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; design, and perform countermeasures for assessed risks; and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of audit opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control effective in Gigastorage Corporation.

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

  4. Conclude the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the management, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Gigastorage Corporation to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosure is inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause Gigastorage Corporation to cease as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the parent company only financial statements (including related notes), whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information or the entities or business activities of Gigastorage Corporation to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of Gigastorage Corporation, and forming the audit opinion on Gigastorage Corporation.

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 in charge of governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all

  • 6 -

relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to affect our independence, and other matters (including related protective measures).

From the matters communicated with those in charge of corporate governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2024 parent company only financial statements of Gigastorage Corporation and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditor’s report are Wen, Chih-Yuan and Chang, Ya-Yun.

Note 2: Unless otherwise stated, the aforementioned new/amended/revised standards or interpretation are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after the respective dates.

  1. Amendment to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendment provides that if the Company sells or contributes an asset to an associate (or joint venture), or if the Company loses control of a

  • 17 -

subsidiary but retains significant influence (or joint control) over the subsidiary, the Company shall recognize all of the gains or losses from such transactions if the aforementioned asset or subsidiary meets the definition of “business” in “business merger” under IFRS 3.

In addition, if the Company sells or contributes an asset to an associate (or joint venture), or if the Company loses control of a subsidiary but retains significant influence (or joint control) over the subsidiary, the Company shallrecognize gains and losses from such transactions only to the extent that they are not related to the investor’s interest in the associate (or joint venture), i.e. they are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s share of such gains and losses if the aforementioned asset or subsidiary does not meet the definition of “business” in “business merger” under IFRS 3.

  1. IFRS18“Disclosure and presentation 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 Company 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 Company shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Company labels items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative label.

Increase disclosure of performance measures defined by management when the Company engages in public communications outside the financial statements or communicates management's perspective on certain aspects of the Company's overall financial performance to financial statement users, it

  • 18 -

shall disclose information related to performance measures defined by management in a single note to the financial statements. This includes a description of the measure, how it is calculated, a reconciliation to the subtotals or totals specified by IFRS accounting standards, and the income tax and non-controlling interest effects of the related reconciliation items.

3. Amendement to IFRS9 and IFRS7, “Accounting for Nature-dependent Electricity Contracts”

The scope of the amendments is limited to contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity, where the electricity source depends on uncontrollable natural conditions, such as the weather, which expose an entity to variability. The amendment stipulates that if the Company enters into a contract to purchase naturally dependent electricity, exposing it to the risk of purchasing more electricity than needed within a specific period, and the design and operation of the electricity market require the Company to sell unused electricity within a specified timeframe, such sales do not necessarily result in the Company failing to meet the condition of holding the contract for anticipated electricity demand, thus requiring the contract to be treated as a financial instrument. If the Company, within a reasonable period after selling electricity, purchases an equivalent amount of electricity in the same market, it still meets the condition of holding the contract for anticipated electricity demand.

The amendment also stipulates that if the company enters into a contract involving naturally dependent electricity and designates it as a hedging instrument for an anticipated transaction, it may designate a variable quantity of anticipated electricity transactions consistent with the aforementioned contract as the hedged item.

The Company shall retrospectively apply the amendments related to determining whether a contract involving nature-dependent power meets the condition of being held for the purpose of meeting expected power usage requirements. However, it is not required to restate comparative periods, and the impact of the initial application shall be recognized on the initial application date. The provisions related to hedge accounting shall be deferred.

  • 19 -

In addition to the above effects, the Company will continue to evaluate the effect of the amendment to other standards on the financial positions and performance of the Company to the date the parent company only financial statements are approved and released, and will make appropriate disclosure after the evaluation.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(1) Compliance Statement

The parent company only financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers.

(2) Basis of preparation

This parent company only financial report is prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the present value less net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the fair value of plan assets.

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

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

  2. Level 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.

  3. Level 3 input value: the unobservable input value of asset or liability.

When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company processed the investment in subsidiaries, associates, or joint ventures under the equity method. In order to make the current period’s profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity in the parent company only financial statements the same as the current period’s profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to the owners of the Company in the consolidated financial statements, certain accounting differences between the parent company only basis and consolidated basis are adjusted for “investments using the equity method,” “share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures using the equity

  • 20 -

method,” “share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures using the equity method” and related equity items.

  • (3) Standards in differentiating current and non-current assets and liabilities

    • Current assets include:
  • Assets held primarily for trading purposes;

  • Assets expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date; and

  • Cash (excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date).

Current liabilities include:

  1. Liabilities held primarily for trading purposes;

  2. Liabilities to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and

  3. Liabilities whose settlement deadline cannot be unconditionally deferred until at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

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

  • (4) Foreign currencies

For the transactions conducted in a currency other than the business entity’s functional currency (foreign currency), it is to be translated to the functional currency in accordance with the exchange rate on the transaction date when preparing financial statements.

Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate on each balance sheet date. The exchange differences arising from the settlement of monetary items or translating monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.

The foreign non-currency items measured at fair value are translated in accordance with the exchange rate on the fair value determination date and the exchange difference is booked as profit or loss in the period. However, for the changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, the exchange difference is recorded in other comprehensive income.

The foreign non-currency items measured at historical cost are translated in accordance with the exchange rate on the transaction date without the need for a retranslation.

  • 21 -

Upon preparation of the parent company only financial reports, the assets and liabilities of overseas operating institutions (including the subsidiaries, associates, or joint ventures in the countries of business operation or those using currencies different from the Company’s) were converted to New Taiwan dollars based on the exchange rate quoted on every balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period and the exchange differences are booked in other comprehensive income.

If the Company disposes of all of its interests in a foreign operation, or loses control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or retains interests after the disposal of an associate that is a foreign operation which becomes a financial asset and is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy for financial instruments, all of the accumulated exchange differences related to that foreign operation will be reclassified to profit or loss.

(5)

If the partial disposal of a subsidiary of a foreign operation does not result in a loss of control, the accumulated exchange differences are jointly calculated in equity transactions on a pro rata basis, but are not recognized in profit or loss. In the case of any other partial disposal of a foreign operation, the accumulated exchange differences shall be reclassified to profit or loss in proportion to the disposal. Inventories

Inventory includes raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process. Inventory is valued in accordance with the lower of cost or net realizable value. When comparing cost and net realizable value, except for the homogeneous inventories, it is based on the itemized lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value refers to the estimated sale price under normal circumstances net of the estimated cost needed to completion and the estimated expenses needed to consummate the sale. The cost of inventory is calculated using the weighted average method.

(6) Investments in subsidiaries

The Company adopts the equity method for investment in subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has control.

Under the equity method, investments in subsidiaries are originally recognized at cost; the book value after the acquisition date fluctuates along with the distribution of profit or loss from the subsidiaries and other comprehensive income by the

  • 22 -

Company. Additionally, the change in the interests the Company holds in subsidiaries is recognized pro rata to the shareholding percentages.

When a change in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary does not result in a loss of control, it is treated as an equity transaction. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

The excess of the acquisition cost over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries constituting the business at the acquisition date is recorded as goodwill, which is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized; the excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries constituting the business at the acquisition date over the acquisition cost is recorded as gain or loss for the period.

The Company assesses impairment based on the cash-generating units as a whole in the financial statements and compares their recoverable amounts with their book values. If the amount of recoverable assets increased in the future, the reversal of impairment shall be recognized as income. The book value of the reversal of impaired assets shall not exceed the book value before recognition for impairment net of amortization. Impairment losses attributable to goodwill must not be reversed in subsequent periods.

When control over a subsidiary is lost, the Company measures its remaining investment in the subsidiary at fair value at the date of loss of control. The difference between the fair value of the remaining investment and the carrying amount of the investment at the date of loss of control, if any, is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In addition, all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary are accounted for on the same basis as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Unrealized gains or losses on downstream transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated in the parent company only financial statements. Gains or losses from upstream and side-stream transactions with subsidiaries are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent that they are not related to the Company’s equity interest in the subsidiary.

  • 23 -

(7) Investments in associates and joint ventures

The term “affiliate” as set forth herein denotes an enterprise which has significant effect upon the Company but is not a subsidiary or a joint venture. A joint venture is a joint agreement between the Company and another company with joint control and rights to the net assets.

The Company adopts the equity method for investment in associates.

Under the equity method, investments in associates and joint ventures are originally recognized at cost; the book value after the acquisition date fluctuates along with the distribution of profit or loss from the associates and joint ventures and other comprehensive income by the Company. In addition, changes in equity in affiliated companies and joint ventures are recognized on a proportional basis to shareholdings.

The excess of the acquisition cost over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the associates and joint ventures at the acquisition date is recorded as goodwill, which is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized; the excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the associates and joint ventures at the acquisition date over the acquisition cost is recorded as gain or loss for the period.

If the Company does not subscribe for new shares of an affiliate or joint venture in proportion to its shareholding, resulting in a change in the Company’s shareholding and an increase or decrease in the net equity of the investment, the increase or decrease is adjusted to capital surplus – change in net worth in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method and investments accounted for using the equity method. However, if the ownership interest in an affiliate or joint venture is reduced as a result of subscription or acquisition without proportionate shareholding, the amount recognized in other comprehensive income related to the affiliate or joint venture is reclassified in proportion to the reduction on the same basis as that required for the direct disposal of the related assets or liabilities of the affiliate or joint venture. If the former adjustment is charged to capital surplus and the balance of capital surplus from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the difference is charged to retained earnings.

The Company assesses impairment by comparing the recoverable amount to the carrying amount of an investment as a whole (including goodwill) as a single asset.

  • 24 -

The impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of impairment loss can be recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

The Company ceases to adopt the equity method from the date its investment ceases to be an associate or joint venture, and its retained equity interest in the associate or joint venture is measured at fair value. The difference between the fair value and the disposal price and the carrying amount of the investment on the date of cessation of the equity method is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In addition, all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income related to the associate and joint venture are accounted for on the same basis as if the Consolidated Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities and joint ventures. If an investment in associates becomes a joint venture or an investment in joint venture becomes an investment in associates, the Company continues to use the equity method without remeasuring the retained equity interest.

Gains or losses from upstream, downstream and side-stream transactions with associates and joint ventures are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent that they are not related to the Company’s equity interest in the associates and joint ventures

(8)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment shall be recognized based on cost. Subsequent costing shall be measured on the cost net of accumulated depreciations and accumulated impairments.

Except for owned land, which is not depreciated, other property, plant and equipment are depreciated separately over their useful lives on a straight-line basis for each significant component. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods at least at the end of each year and defers the effect of changes in applicable accounting estimates.

When property, plant and equipment is derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss. (9) Investment property

Investment property refers to real estate held for the purpose of earning rent or capital appreciation or both. Investment property also includes land held for future use that is currently undetermined.

  • 25 -

Self-owned investment property is initially measured at cost (including transaction costs) and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis.

When investment property is derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss. (10) Intangible assets

  1. Acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization methods at least at the end of each year and defers the effect of changes in applicable accounting estimates. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated impairment.

  1. Derecognition

When intangible assets are derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and the carrying amount of the assets is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

(11) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment property and intangible assets

The Company assesses on each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that the property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment property and intangible assets may have been impaired. If there is any indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the asset should be estimated. If the recoverable amount of an parent company only asset cannot be estimated, the Company is to estimate the recoverable amount of the respective cash-generating unit. Shared assets are allocated to parent company only cash-generating units on a reasonably consistent basis.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. When the recoverable amount of an parent company only asset or a cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset

  • 26 -

or cash-generating unit should be reduced to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

When the impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset, cash-generating unit, or contract cost-related asset is increased to the adjusted recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount (net of amortization or depreciation) that would have been recognized if the impairment loss had not been recognized in prior years for that asset, cash-generating unit, or contract cost-related asset. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(12) Financial instruments

When the Company has become a party to the instrument contract, the financial assets and financial liabilities are to be recognized in the parent company only balance sheet.

For the initial recognition of the financial assets and financial liabilities, if the financial assets or financial liabilities are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, it is measured at fair value plus transaction cost that is directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss is immediately recognized in profit or loss.

1. Financial assets

The regular transaction of financial assets is recognized and derecognized in accordance with the trade date accounting.

(1) Type of measurement

The types of financial assets held by the Company are financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include equity instruments investments measured at fair value through other non-designated comprehensive profit or loss.

  • 27 -

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, while dividends, interests and gains or losses arising from remeasurement are recognized in other gains and losses. Please refer to Note 27 for the determination of fair value.

B. Financial assets at amortized cost

The Company’s financial assets, if meeting both of the following conditions, are classified as financial assets at amortized cost:

  • a. Financial assets held under a particular mode of operation and the purpose of holding is for the collection of contractual cash flows; and

  • b. The terms of the contracts give rise to cash flows at specified dates that are solely for the payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

Financial assets (including cash and notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets, and refundable deposits at amortized cost), after initial recognition, are measured at their total carrying amount determined using the effective interest method, less amortized cost of any impairment loss, with any foreign currency exchange gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the total carrying amount of the financial assets, except for the following two cases.

  • a. Interest income on financial assets that are credit-impaired upon acquisition or creation is calculated using the credit-adjusted effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets.

  • b. Interest income on financial assets that are not credit-impaired upon acquisition or creation but become credit-impaired subsequently is calculated using the effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets from the next reporting period after the impairment.

  • Credit-impaired financial assets are those for which the issuer or

  • the debtor has experienced significant financial difficulties, defaulted, or where it is probable that the debtor will declare bankruptcy or other

  • 28 -

financial reorganization, or where an active market for the financial assets has disappeared due to financial difficulties.

  • C. Investment in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company may make an irrevocable choice at the time of initial recognition for designating the investment of equity instruments not available-for-sale and not recognized by the acquirer under corporate merger and acquisition or with consideration at fair value through other comprehensive income for measurement.

Investment in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income is measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value will be recognized as other comprehensive income and accumulated into other equity. In the disposition of assets, accumulated gains or loss shall be directly transferred to retained earnings without classification as profit or loss.

The dividend of the investment of equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income shall be recognized as income when the right of the Company in the collection of dividends is ascertained unless the dividend is obviously representing the recovery of the cost of investment in part.

(2) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Company at each balance sheet date assesses the impairment loss of financial assets (including accounts receivable) at amortized cost and contract assets according to the expected credit loss.

An allowance is recognized for losses on accounts receivable and contract assets based on expected credit losses over the life. Other financial assets are first evaluated to determine whether there is a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there is no significant increase, an allowance for loss is recognized based on the expected credit loss over 12 months, and if there is a significant increase, an allowance for loss is recognized based on the expected credit loss over the duration.

Expected credit loss is a weighted average credit loss based on the risk of default. Expected credit loss in a 12-month period represents the

  • 29 -

expected credit loss arising from possible defaults of the financial instruments within 12 months after the reporting date, and the ongoing expected credit loss represents the expected credit loss arising from all possible defaults of the financial instruments during the expected life of the financial instruments.

For internal credit risk management purposes, the Company, without considering the collateral, determines the following circumstances indicating that a default has occurred on the financial assets:

  • A. There is internal or external information showing that the debtor has been unable to pay off the debt.

  • B. Payments are overdue for more than 90 days, unless there is reasonable and supporting information showing that the delayed default benchmark is more appropriate.

The carrying amount of all financial assets is reduced through an allowance account

  • (3) The derecognition of financial assets

The Company has financial assets derecognized only when the contractual rights from the cash flows of a financial asset become invalid or when the financial assets are transferred, and almost all the risks and rewards of the asset ownership have been transferred to other enterprises.

When a particular entry of financial assets measured at amortized cost is removed, the difference between its book value and consideration shall be recognized as income. When particular equity instruments measured at fair value through comprehensive income are entirely derecognized, the accumulated gains of loss shall be directly transferred to retained earnings without being classified as profit or loss.

  1. Equity instruments

The equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity pursuant to the contractual agreements and the definition of equity instruments.

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized for an amount after deducting the direct issuing cost from the proceeds collected.

  1. Financial liabilities

  2. (1) Subsequent measurement

  3. 30 -

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

(2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

When derecognizing financial liabilities, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized as profit or loss.

(13) Public dues

Various payments (public dues) levied by the government in accordance with the law are estimated as other liabilities when the taxable transaction or activity occurs. Payment obligations arising over time are recognized as other liabilities periodically, while payment obligations triggered by reaching a specific threshold are recognized as other liabilities when the threshold is met.

(14) Provision for liabilities

The amount recognized as provision for liabilities is the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risk and uncertainty of the obligation. The provision for liabilities is measured as the present value of the discounted estimated cash flows to settle the obligation.

(15)

Revenue recognition

The Company, after identifying the performance obligations, had the transaction price amortized to each performance obligation and recognized as income when the performance obligations were fulfilled.

  1. Merchandise sales revenues

The Company recognizes revenue when the promised product is delivered to the customer and the customer obtains control (i.e. the customer’s ability to direct the use of the product and obtain substantially all of the residual benefits of the product), based on the price stated in the contract.

The credit period for product sold by the Company is 30 to 120 days. Most of the contracts are recognized as accounts receivable when control of the product is transferred and the right to receive unconditional consideration is available. These accounts receivable are usually of short duration and do not have significant financial components.

  1. Revenues from power plant design and construction projects

For real estate construction contracts in which the real estate is under the control of the customer during the construction process, the Company

  • 31 -

recognizes revenue gradually over time. Since the cost of construction is directly related to the degree of completion of contractual obligations, the Company measures the progress of completion based on the proportion of the actual cost invested to the expected total cost. The Company recognizes contract assets over time during the construction process and reclassifies them as accounts receivable upon billing. If the amount received exceeds the amount of revenue recognized, the difference is recognized as a contract liability. The retention money withheld by the customer under the terms of the contract are intended to ensure the Company’s completion of all contractual obligations and are recognized as contract assets until the Company’s performance of the contract is completed.

If the outcome of the performance obligation cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognized only to the extent that the costs incurred to satisfy the performance obligation are expected to be recovered.

  • (16) Leases

The Company assesses whether the contract is (or includes) a lease on the effective contract date.

  1. The Company is the lessor

A lease is classified as a capital lease when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Under operating leases, lease payments, net of lease incentives, are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease period.

  1. The Company is the lessee

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease inception date, except for leases of low-value underlying assets to which the recognition exemption applies and short-term leases for which lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

Right-of-use assets are measured initially at cost (consisting of the original measurement amount of the lease liability, lease payments made before the inception date of the lease less lease incentives received, original direct cost and estimated cost of restoration of the subject asset) and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, and the

  • 32 -

remeasurement of the lease liability is adjusted. The right-of-use assets are expressed separately in the standalone balance sheet.

The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period starting from the lease inception date to the end of their useful lives or the expiration of the lease period, whichever is sooner.

The lease liability was originally measured at the present value of the lease payments (both fixed and substantively constant). If the implicit interest rate of the lease is readily determinable, the lease payments are discounted using that rate. If that rate is not readily determinable, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, and interest expense is amortized over the lease period. If a change during the lease term results in a change in future lease payments, the Company remeasures the lease liability and adjusts the right-of-use asset accordingly. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. The lease liabilities are expressed separately in the parent company only balance sheet.

  • (17) Cost of borrowings

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.

  • (18) Government grants

Government subsidies are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the enterprise will comply with the conditions attached to the government subsidy and that the subsidy will be received.

Government subsidies related to income are recognized in other income on a systematic basis over the period in which the related costs for which they are intended to compensate are recognized as expenses by the Company.

Government subsidies are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become collectible if they are intended to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to provide immediate financial support to the Company and have no future related costs.

  • (19) Employee benefits

  • Short-term employee benefits

  • 33 -

Liabilities relating to short-term employee benefits are measured by the non-discounted amount of the expected payment in exchange for employee services.

2. Post-employment benefits

Under defined contribution pension plan, the pension amount appropriated during the service years of the employees is recognized as an expense.

The defined benefit cost (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) of defined benefit pension plan is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefit expense as incurred. Remeasurements (including actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets, net of interest) are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings as incurred and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

The net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the deficit (remaining) of the defined benefit pension plan appropriation. The net defined benefit asset may not exceed the present value of refunds of appropriations from the plan or reductions in future appropriations.

  • (20) Share-based payment agreement

  • Employee stock options granted to the employees of the Company

Employee stock options are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date and the best estimate of the number expected to be vested, with an adjustment to capital surplus – employee stock options at the same time. If the vesting is made immediately on the grant date, the full cost is recognized on the grant date. The Company reserves shares for employee subscription at the time of cash capital increase and recognizes the date as the grant date when the number of shares to be subscribed by employees is confirmed.

  1. Employee stock options granted to the employees of subsidiaries

Employee stock options granted to employees of subsidiaries for settlement with the Company’s equity instruments are considered as capital contributions to the subsidiaries and are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of grant and recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the investment in the subsidiary during the vesting period, with a

  • 34 -

corresponding adjustment to capital surplus – employee stock options. If the vesting is made immediately on the grant date, the full cost is recognized on the grant date.

(21) Income tax

Income tax expense is the sum of the current income tax and deferred income tax.

1. Current income tax

The Company determines income (loss) for the period in accordance with the regulations enacted by the income tax reporting jurisdictions and calculates income tax payable (recoverable) accordingly.

Additional Income tax on unappropriated earnings calculated in accordance with the ROC Income Tax Act is recognized in the year in which resolutions are made at the shareholders’ meeting.

The adjustment to prior years’ income tax payable is booked as current period’s income tax.

2. Deferred income tax

Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the tax bases used to compute taxable income.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which income tax credits can be utilized, such as deductions for temporary differences, loss carryforwards and investment tax credits.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint agreements, except where the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences associated with such investments only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the temporary differences to be realized and to the extent that a reversal is expected in the foreseeable future.

  • 35 -

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient tax assets will be available to allow recovery of all or part of the asset. part of the asset should be adjusted down. Deferred tax assets that are not recognized as such initially are reviewed on each balance sheet date and the carrying amount is increased to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available to recover all or part of the assets.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized, which are based on tax rates and tax laws that have been legislated or substantively legislated on the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequence resulting from the book value of the assets or liabilities expected to be recovered or liquidated on the balance sheet date.

  1. Current and deferred tax

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the profit or loss, except for the current and deferred income taxes related to the items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in the equity which are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in the equity.

5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimations, and Main Sources of Assumption Uncertainties

When adopting accounting policies, the Company’s management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that are based on historical experience and other factors that are not readily apparent from other sources Actual results may differ from estimates.

Estimations, and Main Sources of Assumption Uncertainties

  • (1) Impairment of Investments in associates

When there is an indication that an investment in an affiliate may be impaired and the carrying amount may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the impairment of the investment immediately. The Company’s management assesses impairment based on future cash flow projections of the associates, including assumptions on sales growth and capacity utilization as estimated by the associates’ internal management. The Company also considers the relevant market and industry conditions to determine the reasonableness of its relevant assumptions.

The Company invests in the common stock of the Company listed above for medium- to long-term strategic purposes and expects to earn a profit from the long-term investment. The Company’s management believes that it would be inconsistent with the aforementioned long-term investment plan to include short-term fair value fluctuations of these investments in profit or loss, and has therefore elected to designate these investments as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company’s financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are not provided as guarantee.

Due to its investment strategy, the Company sold and derecognized certain investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Information related to the derecognition during 2024 and 2023 is as follows.

(1) Notes and accounts receivable

The Company’s notes and accounts receivable are not provided as guarantee.

The average credit period of the Company’s product sales ranges from 30 to 120 days.

The Finance Department manages the credit risk of bank deposits, fixed-income securities and other financial instruments in accordance with the Company’s policies. Since the Corporation’s counterparties are determined by internal control procedures and are creditworthy banks and investment-grade financial institutions, corporate organizations and government agencies, there is no significant credit risk.

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on notes and accounts receivable based on expected credit losses over the life of the receivables. Expected credit losses for the duration are calculated using a reserve matrix, which takes into account the customer’s past default history and current financial condition, the economic situation of the industry, as well as industry outlook. Notes and accounts

  • 38 -

receivable are classified into groups by considering the credit rating of counterparties, regions and industries, and a reserve matrix is used to measure the allowance for loss.

If there is evidence that the counterparty is in serious financial difficulty and the Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, the Company shall directly write off the related notes and accounts receivable but shall engage in recourse activities and recognize the amount recovered in profit or loss as a result of the recourse.

The Company measured the allowance for losses on notes and accounts receivable based on the reserve matrix as follows.

Some of the Company’s real estate lease agreements include lease extension options. In determining the lease period, the non-cancellable period of the right to use the subject asset is combined with the period covered by the lease extension option that is reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company. The use of these options allows for maximum flexibility in the operation of management contracts. The majority of the lease extension options available are exercisable by the Company only. The Company re-evaluates the lease period when a material event or significant change in circumstances occurs after the commencement date (that is within the control of the lessee and affects whether the Company can be reasonably certain that

18. Post-employment benefit plan

(1) Defined contribution plan

The Company’s pension system under the “Labor Pension Act” is a government-administered defined contribution pension plan with 6% of employees’ monthly salaries contributed to the personal accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

(2) Defined benefit plan

The Company’s pension system under the “Labor Standards Act” is a government-administered defined benefit pension plan. The employee’s pension is calculated based on the bases of years of service and the average monthly salary at the time of approval of retirement. Two bases are granted for each year of service up to (including) 15 years, and one base is granted for each year of service over 15 years, subject to a maximum accumulation of 45 bases. The Company appropriates 2% of employees’ monthly salaries to pension funds, which is deposited by the Supervisory Committee of Labor Retirement Reserve in the name of the Committee into a special account at the Bank of Taiwan. If the balance in the special account is estimated to be insufficient to pay for employees who are expected to meet the retirement requirements in the following year before the end of the year, the difference will be made up in one lump sum by the end of March of the following year. The management of the special account is entrusted to the Bureau of Labor Funds, the Ministry of Labor. The Company has no right to influence the investment management strategy.

The Company is exposed to the following risks as a result of the pension system under the “Labor Standards Act”:

  1. Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor invests the labor pension fund in domestic and foreign equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits through its own management or entrusted third parties, but the amount allocated to the Company’s plan assets is based on the income at a rate no less than the local bank’s 2-year time deposit rate.

  2. 53 -

  3. Interest rate risk: A decrease in interest rates on government bonds/corporate bonds will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation, but the return on debt investment in plan assets will also increase, which will have a partially offsetting effect on the net defined benefit obligation.

  4. Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salary of the plan member. Therefore, increases in plan member’s salary will result in an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The present value of the Company’s defined benefit obligation was actuarially determined by a qualified actuary and the significant assumptions at the measurement date were as follows.

(3) Retained earnings and dividend policy

In accordance with the Company’s earnings distribution policy as stipulated in the Articles of Association, if there is any net earnings in the Company’s annual final accounts, the Company shall first pay tax, make up for accumulated losses in the past and then provide 10% as legal reserve in accordance with the law. If the accumulated legal reserve has reached the Company’s paid-in capital, the Company may no longer need to provide legal reserve. The remainder shall be used to provide or reverse special reserve as provided by law. If there are still remaining earnings, the board of directors shall prepare a proposal for distribution of the remainder together with the accumulated unappropriated earnings from the prior years as dividends to shareholders, and submit it to the shareholders’ meeting for resolution.

The Company’s policy on the distribution of dividends to shareholders is subject to the Company’s current and future investment environment, capital requirements, domestic and external competition and capital budget, with the interests of shareholders and the Company’s long-term financial planning taken into account. If the distributable earnings for the year reaches 5% of the paid-in capital, dividends shall be paid at a percentage of not less than 20% of the distributable earnings for the year; if the distributable earnings for the year does not reach 5% of the paid-in capital, no dividends may be paid. The percentage of cash dividends paid each year shall not be less than 20% of the total amount of cash and stock dividends paid in that year. The aforementioned dividend distribution percentage may be adjusted based on financial, business and operational considerations.

Please refer to Note 21(7) for the Company’s policy on employee and director remuneration distribution under the Company’s Articles of Association.

The legal reserve should be appropriated until the balance reaches the Company’s total paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to make up for losses. If the Company has no losses, the excess of legal reserve over 25% of the paid-in capital may be distributed in cash in addition to capitalization as equity.

The Company specified that when the special reserve is allocated from the net deduction of other equity accumulated in the previous period, if the undistributed surplus in the previous period is insufficient to allocate, the after-tax net profit plus items other than the after-tax net profit of the current period will be added into the undistributed surplus of the current period for the allocation.

If the Company chooses to pay employees’ remuneration in shares or cash, when calculating the diluted loss per share, it is assumed that the employees’ remuneration will be issued in shares. When the potential ordinary shares have a dilutive effect, they will be included in the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the calculation of the diluted loss per share. The dilutive effect of these potential ordinary shares will also continue to be considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share before the resolution on the number of shares awarded to employees in the following year.

24. Partial acquisition or disposal of investment in subsidiaries – not affecting control

The Company sold a total of 269 thousand shares in Giga Solar Materials Corporation between April 2023 and September 2023, resulting in a decrease in the shareholding from 38.36% to 38.07%.

The Company sold a total of 667 thousand shares in Giga Solar Materials Corporation between April to December 2024, resulting in a decrease in the shareholding from 38.07% to 37.35%.

  • (4) Objectives and Policies of Financial Risk Management

  • The Company’s major financial instruments include investments in equity

  • instruments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, corporate bonds payable, borrowings and lease liabilities. The Company’s financial management department provides services to each business unit, coordinates the operation of access to domestic financial markets, and monitors and manages financial risks associated with the Company’s operations through internal risk reports that analyze risk exposures based on risk degree and breadth. These risks include market risk (which includes exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks), credit risk and liquidity risk.

  • 68 -

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to risk in order to mitigate the impact of these risks. The use of derivative financial instruments is governed by the policies approved by the Company’s board of directors, which are the written principles for exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of surplus circulating capital. Internal auditors review policy compliance and risk limits on an ongoing basis. The Company does not trade in financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) for speculative purposes.

The financial management department reports to the risk management committee of the Company on a quarterly basis.

  1. Market risk

The main financial risks to which the Company is exposed as a result of its operating activities are changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below) and changes in interest rates (see (2) below). The Company engages in various derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risk.

There have been no changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk of financial instruments and the way it manages and measures such exposures.

  • (1) Exchange rate risk

The Company’s exposure to exchange rate risk relates primarily to operating activities (when revenues or expenses are denominated in currencies different from the Company’s functional currency) and net investments in foreign operations.

A portion of the Company’s foreign currency receivables and payables are denominated in the same currency, in which case, a natural hedge is created. Currency swap contracts are adopted to manage the exchange rate risk arising from partial foreign currency payments. In addition, the net investment in foreign operations is a strategic investment and therefore the Company does not apply hedge accounting.

The carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency and the carrying amounts of derivatives with exchange rate risk exposure as of the balance sheet date are described in Note 31.

  • 69 -

Sensitivity analysis

The Company is primarily affected by fluctuations in the USD exchange rate.

The following table details the sensitivity analysis of the Company when the exchange rate of the NTD (functional currency) increases and decreases by 1% against each relevant foreign currency. One percent is the sensitivity rate used in reporting the exchange rate risk to the Company’s key management team and represents the management’s assessment of the reasonable range of potential changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only foreign currency monetary items in circulation and adjusts their year-end translation by a 1% change in exchange rates. The positive numbers in the following table represent the decrease in net loss before tax if the NTD weakens by 1% against the respective currencies, and the negative numbers for the same amount represent the decrease in net loss before tax if the NTD strengthens by 1% against the respective currencies.

Impact of USD 2024 2023 Income or loss $ 200 $ 482

(2) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises because the Company borrow funds at both fixed and floating rates. The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rates; however, hedge accounting is not applied because the Company does not meet the requirements for hedge accounting.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk as of the balance sheet date were as follows:

Fair value interest rate
risk
- Financial liabilities
Cash flow interest rate
risk
- Financial assets
- Financial liabilities

247,942
1,741,702
December 31, 2023
$ 26,806
179,407
1,499,346
  • 70 -

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative instruments as of the balance sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet date is outstanding during the reporting period. The rate of change used in reporting interest rates internally to the Company’s key management is a 1% basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, which also represents management’s assessment of the range of reasonably possible changes in interest rates.

If the floating rate increased/decreased by 1%, with all other variables held constant, the Company’s net loss before tax would have increased/decreased by NT$14,938 thousand and NT$13,199 thousand for 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(3) Other price risk

The fair value of the Company’s investments in unlisted equity securities may be affected by the uncertainty of the future value of these underlying securities. The fair value of the Company’s investments in unlisted equity securities are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company manages the price risk of equity securities by diversifying its investments and setting limits on its investments in equity securities, both individually and in the aggregate. Portfolio information on equity securities is provided to the Company’s senior management on a regular basis, and the Board of Directors is required to review and approve all investment decisions on equity securities.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the equity price exposure on the balance sheet date.

If the equity price had increased/decreased by 10%, the pre-tax other comprehensive income or loss for 2024 and 2023 would have increased/decreased by NT$725 thousand and NT$3,450 thousand, respectively, due to the increase/decrease in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss.

  • 71 -

2. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss due to default on contract obligations by the counterparties. The Company’s credit risk is attributable to operating activities (mainly accounts receivable and notes) and financial activities (mainly bank deposits and various financial instruments).

Each unit of the Company manages credit risk in accordance with its policies, procedures and controls over credit risk. The credit risk of all counterparties is evaluated by taking into account the financial condition of the counterparties, the ratings of credit rating agencies, historical transaction experience, the current economic environment and the Company’s internal rating standards. The Company also uses certain credit enhancement tools (such as advance receipts) at appropriate times to reduce the credit risk of specific counterparties.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the percentages of receivables from the top ten customers to the Company’s total receivables were 80% and 83%, respectively, and the credit concentration risk of the remaining receivables was relatively insignificant.

The Finance Department manages the credit risk of bank deposits, fixed-income securities and other financial instruments in accordance with the Company’s policies. Since the Company’s counterparties are determined by internal control procedures and are creditworthy banks and investment-grade financial institutions, corporate organizations and government agencies, there is no significant credit risk.

  1. Liquidity risk

The Company manages and maintains sufficient positions of cash and cash equivalents to support operations and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. The Company’s management monitors the use of bank financing lines and ensures compliance with the terms of the loan agreements.

Bank loans are an important source of liquidity for the Company. See (2) below for a description of the Company’s unused financing lines.

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

The analysis of the remaining contractual maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities has been prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows (including principal and estimated interest) of

  • 72 -

the financial liabilities based on the earliest possible date on which the Company could be required to make repayment. Therefore, bank loans that the Company may be required to repay immediately are shown in the earliest period of the table below, without regard to the probability that the bank will enforce the right immediately. The maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the contractual repayment dates.

The undiscounted interest amount of interest cash flows paid at floating interest rates is derived from the curve of the yield rate at the balance sheet date.
