INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Global View Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Global View Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 is stated as follows:
Subsidiary Accounted for Using the Equity Method - Recognition of Rental Revenue
The share of profit of the Company in its subsidiary accounted for using the equity method mainly comes from leasing of investment properties, which is the Company’s main business; rentals are collected in advance and recorded as unearned revenue prior to the lessees’ use of the property. Due to a large number of lessees and different lease periods, and manual calculation and recording of rental revenue, there may be a risk of incorrect revenue recognition. Since the accuracy of the recognition of the rental revenue is substantial to the financial statements, we identified the recognition of the rental revenue to be a key audit matter.
We obtained an understanding of the design of internal controls for rental revenue and tested the implementation of the controls. We reviewed the lease agreements and sent confirmation letters to the lessees, on a sample basis, to verify the correctness of the lease periods and rental amounts in the calculation schedule used by the management to recognize the rental revenue. We checked the accuracy of the recognized rental revenue and evaluated the rationality of the overall rental revenue through analytical procedures.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the audit committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
2 -
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statements that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 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 Xin-Wei Tai and Pei-De Chen.

Note 2: On September 25, 2025, the FSC announced that IFRS 18 will take effect starting from January 1, 2028. Domestic entities could elect to apply IFRS 18 for an earlier period after the endorsement of IFRS 18 by the FSC.
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
- To classify items of income and expenses presented in the statement of profit or loss into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Company shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
- 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 for 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 information 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 Company as a whole, the Company 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.
In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:
-
The Company shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
-
11 -
- Interest and dividends received by the Company shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Company has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above impacts, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Company's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the impacts when the relevant assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Statement of Compliance
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis of Preparation
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value.
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, which 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.
When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company accounted for subsidiaries and associates by using the equity method. In order to agree with the amount of net income, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to shareholders of the parent in the consolidated financial statements, the differences of the accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis are adjusted under the heading of investments accounted for using the equity method, share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates and share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates and the related equity items, as appropriate, in the parent company only financial statements.
Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include:
a. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
b. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
c. Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
- 12 -
Current liabilities include:
a. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
b. Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; and
c. Liabilities for which the Company does not have the substantial right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
Foreign Currencies
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income; in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary item denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost is stated at the reporting currency as originally translated from the foreign currency.
For the purpose of presenting the financial statements, the functional currencies of the foreign operations (including subsidiaries and associates) that are prepared using functional currencies which are different from the currency of the Company are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
Investments in Subsidiaries
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries.
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary. The Company also recognizes its share of changes in the subsidiary’s other equity.
- 13 -
Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the Company losing control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The Company recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.
The Company assesses its investment for impairment by treating the investment as a single cash-generating unit (CGU) and comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes a reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years.
Profit or loss resulting from downstream transactions is eliminated in full only in the parent’s financial statements. Profit or loss resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries is recognized only in the parent’s financial statements and only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.
Investments in Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is not a subsidiary.
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates.
Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of the equity of associates.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates accounted for using the equity method. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
The entire carrying amount of an investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
- 14 -
The Company discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an associate. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date, and the fair value is regarded as the investment’s fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate. The Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required had that associate directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
When the Company transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Company’s financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Company.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Except for freehold land which is not depreciated, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
Investment Properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rental and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.
For a transfer of classification from investment properties to property, plant and equipment, the deemed cost of the property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount at the commencement of owner-occupation.
Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment, and Investment Properties
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and investment properties to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
- 15 -
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount (less amortization and depreciation) that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
a. Measurement categories
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
1) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
a) The financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
b) The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, refundable deposits and time deposits with original maturities of more than 3 months, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
- 16 -
2) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments; instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
b. Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables).
The Company always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Company considers the following situations as indication that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Company):
1) Internal or external information shows that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.
2) Financial asset is more than 60 days past due unless the Company has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account.
c. Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss.
- 17 -
On derecognition of an investment in equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
a. Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
b. Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
Convertible bonds
Convertible bonds issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or upon the instrument’s maturity date. Any embedded derivative liability is measured at fair value.
The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised; in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premiums. When the conversion option remains unexercised at maturity, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premiums.
Transaction costs that relate to the issuance of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component.
Provisions
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
- 18 -
- 19 -
Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of electronic equipment. Sales of goods are recognized as revenue when the goods are shipped because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, and has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risk of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently.
Other revenue
The Company's other income arises from providing procurement services for equipment as an agent. The Company recognizes revenue at the net amount of consideration received or receivable when control of the equipment is transferred to the customer and no further performance obligations remain.
Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
The Company as lessor
Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.
The Company as lessee
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for by applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, the lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate will be used.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.
Employee Benefits
a. Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.
b. Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
c. Termination benefits
A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the Company recognizes any related restructuring costs.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
a. Current tax
Income tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.
According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year's tax provision.
b. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and such temporary differences are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
- 20 -
c. Current and deferred taxes
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity; in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
- MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Company’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 Company considers the possible impact on the cash flow projection, growth rates, discount rates, profitabilities and other relevant material estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

In 2024, the Company held an interest in Radiant Innovation Inc. and accounted for the investment using the equity method. In January 2025, the Company disposed of a majority of its interest in Radiant Innovation Inc. for proceeds of $139,461 thousand and therefore lost significant influence over Radiant Innovation Inc. The Company retained the remaining 4.77% interest as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Note 8) whose fair value at the date of disposal was $49,993 thousand. The gain (loss) recognized in profit or loss is calculated as follows:
| Proceeds from disposal | $ 139,461 |
|---|---|
| Plus: Fair value of retained investment (4.77%) | 49,993 |

21. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The earnings and weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings per share were as follows:
Net Profit for the Year
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Earnings used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share | $ 20,430 | $ 46,126 |
| (In Thousands of Shares) | ||
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share | 63,000 | 63,000 |
| Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares | ||
| Compensation of employees | 8 | 16 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share | 63,008 | 63,016 |
The Company may settle the compensation of employees in cash or shares; therefore, the Company assumes that the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares will be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.
The outstanding convertible bonds issued by the Company, if converted into ordinary shares, would have been anti-dilutive in 2025 and therefore would not have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
a. Fair value of financial instruments not measured at fair value
The management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair values.
b. Fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis
1) Fair value hierarchy
December 31, 2025
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Domestic listed shares | $ 307,666 | $ - | $ - | $ 307,666 |
There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
2) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement
| Financial Instrument | Valuation Technique and Inputs |
|---|---|
| Derivative financial instruments | |
| - redemption rights and put options | The fair value is estimated using a binomial convertible bond valuation model. The significant unobservable input used is share price volatility. An increase in share price volatility would result in an increase in the fair value of these derivatives. |
c. Categories of financial instruments
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Financial assets | ||
| Financial assets at amortized cost (1) | $ 1,018,131 | $ 267,701 |

2) The balances include financial liabilities at amortized cost, which comprise trade payables, other payables, bonds payable and guarantee deposits received.
d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s major financial instruments include equity investments, trade receivables and trade payables. The Company’s corporate treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company 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 Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below), interest rates (see (b) below) and other price risk (see (c) below).
There has been no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.
a) Foreign currency risk
The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities and derivatives exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the year are set out in Note 25.
- 36 -
- 37 -
Sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar.
Had the New Taiwan dollar (the functional currency) strengthened or weakened by 5% against the relevant foreign currencies, the Company’s pre-tax profit would have decreased or increased by $406 thousand and $10,370 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and representing management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates is 5%. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, and adjusted their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.
b) Interest rate risk
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the year were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Fair value interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | $ 900,000 | $ 257,370 |
| Financial liabilities | 331,072 | - |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | 116,848 | 10,092 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates at the end of the year.
If interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $1,168 thousand and $101 thousand, respectively.
c) Other price risk
The Company was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in equity securities.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the year. If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower, pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $320 thousand and $15,383 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.
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 Company. At the end of the year, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which would cause a financial loss to the Company due to the failure of the counterparty to discharge its obligation is the carrying amount of the financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.
In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the year to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Company’s credit risk was significantly reduced.
In addition, the credit risk is limited because the major counterparties are reputable financial institutions with good credit ratings.
The Company does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties with similar characteristics. When the counterparties are related companies, the Company defines them as counterparties with similar characteristics.
3) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
The Company relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities is $59,500 thousand.
