Independent Auditor's Report

To the Board of Directors of Hocheng Corporation:

Audit opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Hocheng Corporation, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of another auditor (please refer to paragraph Other Matters), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hocheng Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Parent-Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in the Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the report of another auditor, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Based on our audits and the reports of other 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 the most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period for the Company. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these issues. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report:

I. Valuation of inventories

Refer to Note 4(7) and Note 5 for the accounting policy of inventory valuation, as well as the estimation and assumption uncertainty of the valuation of inventory, respectively. Information on the estimation of the valuation of inventory is disclosed in Note 6(6) of the parent company only financial statements

3

Description of key audit matters:

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value in the financial statements. The Company’s products are mainly sold to consumers through distributors and big box stores. The Company faces competition from its competitors with homogeneous products and low-price strategies. The risk of inventory costing might exceed its net realizable value due to obsolete products or inconsistency with consumers' preferences.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our audit procedures for the above key audit matters included understanding the accounting policies of the Company for impairment loss provision, examining whether inventory write-down or obsolescence allowance had been provided for inventories according to the Company’s existing accounting policies (including implementing sampling procedures, verifying relevant forms and certificates to verify and accuracy of its calculation), and evaluating the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures related to inventory write-down or obsolescence allowance.

II. Investments accounted for using the equity method

Refer to Notes 4(8) and (9) for the accounting policy of investment accounted for using the equity method. Information on investment accounted for using the equity method and the share of gains from associates and joint ventures recognized by using the equity method is disclosed in Note 6(7) of the parent company only financial statements. Description of key audit matters:

The amount of investments accounted for using the equity method of Hocheng Corporation amounted to NT$1,668,964 thousand, accounting for 20% of the total assets of Hocheng Corporation; therefore, investments accounted for using the equity method are included as a matter that requires close attention.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

The audit process we perform for the above key audit matter includes providing audit instructions to and communicating with the audit staff of other component entities, acquiring the financial statements of the component entities, performing a check calculation for the correctness of the recognized investment amount under the equity method and attributable period, and assessing whether the management has properly disclosed the investment under the equity method.

Other Matters

For investment accounted for by using the equity method included in the Company’s financial statements, we did not audit the financial statements of certain companies. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion expressed for the abovementioned financial statements, insofar as they relate to the financial statements of such companies, is based solely on the reports of other CPAs. Investment accounted for by using the equity method of the abovementioned investees accounted for 4% and 7% of total assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively; the

3-1

share of gains or losses from subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures accounted for (91)% and (284)% of net profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent-Only Financial Statements

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 Reports by the Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only 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 the Audit Committee) of the Company are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent-Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether or not the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, 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 auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists in the parent company only financial statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 parent-only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercised professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtained 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.

  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 Company’s internal control.

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,

3-2

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 auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of investees accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion of the Company.

The planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2024 parent company only financial statements of the Group and are, therefore, 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.

Hocheng Corporation Notes to the Parent-Only Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

(Expressed in NT$ thousand, unless otherwise specified)

I. Company History

Hocheng Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in 1961 under the approval of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The address of its registered office is 1F, No.398, Xingshan Rd., Neihu District, Taipei City 114, Taiwan. The Company primarily engages in the manufacturing and trading of residential equipment (i.e., bathtubs, toilets), kitchen equipment, copper pipe equipment and construction of national housing.

II. Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements:

The accompanying parent-only financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (the “Board") on March 11, 2025.

III. New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:

  • (I) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, which have already been adopted.

The Company has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have

a significant impact on its parent company only financial statements, from January 1, 2024.

  • ‧Amendments to IAS1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”

  • ‧Amendments to IAS1 “Non-current Liabilities with Contractual Terms”

  • ‧Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 "Supplier Financing Arrangements"

  • ‧Amendments to IFRS 16 "Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback"

  • (II) The impact of IFRS endorsed by the FSC but not adopted

The Company assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2025, would not have a significant impact on its parent company only financial statements.

  • ‧Amendments to IAS1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

  • (III) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The IASB has issued and amended the following standards and interpretations that are not yet approved by the FSC:

9

New standards amendments and interpretations adopted Main amendments IFRS18"Expression and The new standards introduce three Disclosure of Financial types of income and expenses, two Statements small sums of gains and losses, and one single note about the performance measurement of the management. These three amendments and enhancements provide a guide for how to divide information in financial statements, and provide users with better and more consistent information to lay the foundation. This will affect all companies.

Effective date announced by the Board of Directors January 1, 2027

‧The more structured income statement: According to the existing standards, the Company uses different formats to express its operating results, so that investors can easily compare the financial performance of different companies. The new standard uses a more structured income statement, and introduces the new definition of "operating profits" as a sum. All income and expenses are classified into three new types based on the Company's main business activities.

‧Management Performance Measurement (MPM): The new standard introduces the definition of management performance measurement, and requires the Company to provide the information on each measurement indicator in a single note to the financial statements, and to explain the calculation and how to adjust the measured indicator and the amount recognized in the IFRS accounting standards.

‧More detailed information: The new standards include how companies can strengthen the guidance on information classification in financial statements. This includes whether the information should be included in the main financial statements or further divided in the notes.

10

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the above-mentioned standards and interpretations on the Company's financial position and business results. The relevant impact will be disclosed when the evaluation is completed.

The Company assesses that the following IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC will not have significant effects on the consolidated financial statements.

  • ‧Amendments to IFRS10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between An Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”

  • ‧Amendment to IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and IFRS 17

  • ‧IFRS 19 "Disclosure of Subsidiaries not Responsible for Public Expenditure”

  • ‧Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments

  • ‧Annual improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards

  • ‧Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Contracts for Renewable Electricity from Nature”

11

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

IV. Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies presented in the parent company only financial statements are summarized below. Except for the explanation of Note 3, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the parent company only financial statements.

  • (I) Statement of compliance

These parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers."

  • (II) Basis of preparation

1. Basis of measurement

The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following material items in the balance sheet:

  • (1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • (2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

  • (3) The net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined obligation, which is limited, as explained in Note 4(17).

2. Functional and presentation currency

The Company has its functional currency as the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The parent-only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in NTD has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(III) Foreign currency

1. Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period (“the reporting date”), monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those

12

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • (1) an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;

  • (2) a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or

  • (3) qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent the hedge are effective.

  • Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from acquisitions, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, joint control, or significant influence is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is re-attributed to non-controlling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that is considered part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (IV) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.

  1. It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

13

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

  1. It is expected to be settled in its normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or

  4. 4.The liability is not settled at the end of the reporting period and has the right to defer the settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

  5. (V) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents. Time deposits with maturities within a year or less that meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

  • (VI) Financial assets

Trade receivables are initially recognized when they originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (excluding accounts receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. An accounts receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

  1. Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets classified in the same category are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

14

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequently to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • (1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at fair value through profit or loss:

  • ‧it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • ‧its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized costs add/less cumulative amortization using the effective interest method and adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

On initial recognition, the Company is able to make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss (unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment). Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established (generally, ex-dividend date).

(3) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income described above (such as those held for trading or managed and evaluated on a fair value basis) are measured at fair value through profit or loss, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

15

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses (including any interest or dividend income) are recognized in profit or loss.

(4) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, guarantee deposits paid and other financial assets).

The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following, which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • ‧debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

  • ‧other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e., the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for accounts receivable and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, as well as forward-looking information.

Lifetime ECL is the ECL that results from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 365 days past due.

ECLs are probability-weighted estimates of credit losses over the expected life of financial assets. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECL is discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

16

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive income are credit impaired. A financial asset is “credit impaired” when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • ‧significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • ‧a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 365 days past due;

  • ‧The lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

  • ‧it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or

  • ‧the disappearance of an active market for security because of financial difficulties.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of assets.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate accounts, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of the amount due.

(5) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains all of the risks and rewards of ownership substantially, and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

17

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

2. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • (1) Classification of debt or equity instruments

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

  • (2) Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the amount after deducting direct issuance costs from the obtained proceeds.

  • (3) Treasury shares

When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury stock. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital reserve or retained earnings (if the capital reserve is not sufficient to be written down).

  • (4) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

(5) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or canceled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

(6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in

18

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(VII) Inventory

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is calculated based on the weighted average method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to the location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

The net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less all estimated costs of completion and necessary selling expenses. (VIII) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence over their financial and operating policies but not control or joint control.

Investments in the equity of associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the costs were recognized upon initial acquisition. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill identified on the acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses.

The parent company only financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. When an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in the Company’s shareholding percentage in the associate, the Company recognizes equity changes attributable to the Company by its shareholding percentage as capital reserve.

Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized in the financial statements only to the extent of a non-related investor’s equity in the associate.

When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interests in an associate, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form a part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of its associates.

(IX) Investments in subsidiaries

19

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company assesses investees under its control by using the equity method. Under the equity method, the profit or loss during the period and other comprehensive income presented in the parent company only financial statements shall be the same as the allocations of profit or loss during the period and of other comprehensive income attributable to the owners of the parent company presented in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis and the owners' equity presented in the parent company only financial reports shall be the same as the equity attributable to owners of the parent presented in the financial reports prepared on a consolidated basis.

Changes in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in loss of control are treated as equity transactions with owners.

(X) Investment property

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation, or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value, which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.

Rental income from investment property is recognized as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income over the term of the lease.

  • (XI) Property, Plant and Equipment

  • Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

20

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

2. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

  1. Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset, less its residual value, and is recognized as profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Lands are not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative years are as follows:

(1) Houses and buildings 2~60 years (2) Machinery and equipment 2~20 years (3) Transportation equipment 2~8 years (4) Office equipment 2~15 years (5) Other equipment 2~35 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at the reporting date each year and adjusted if appropriate.

4. Reclassification to investment property

A property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from owner-occupied to investment property.

(XII) Leasing

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

1. As a lease

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on

21

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • (1) fixed payments, including in substance fixed payments;

  • (2) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • (3) amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • (4) payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • (1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in c;

  • (2) there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;

  • (3) there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset;

  • (4) there is a change in its assessment of the lease period on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option;

(5) there is a lease modification

When the lease liability is remeasured, when are changes in an index or rate to determine lease payments, changes in the amount of residual value guarantee, or changes in the assessment of purchase, extension, or termination options above, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Group accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the

22

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize the difference in profit or loss for any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as separate line items, respectively, in the balance sheets.

The Company has elected not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of computer equipment and other equipment and asset lease of low-value assets. The Company recognizes relevant lease payments as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As a practical expedient, the Company elects not to assess whether all rent concessions that meet all the following conditions are lease modifications or not:

  • (1) the rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic;

  • (2) the change in lease payments that resulted in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

  • (3) any reduction in lease payments that affects only those payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022; and

  • (4) there is no substantive change in other terms and conditions of the lease.

In accordance with the practical expedient, the effect of the change in the lease liability is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concession occurs.

  1. As a lessor

When the Company is the lessor in the transactions, it classifies lease contracts based on whether substantially all risks and compensations from the ownership of target assets are transferred; if yes, the contracts are classified as financing leases, and if no, operating leases. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators, such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sublease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sublease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

(XIII) Intangible assets

23

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

1. Recognition and measurement

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete the development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and have useful lives that are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

2. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditures on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

3. Amortization

Apart from goodwill, amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative years are as follows: Computer software cost 2~15 years

Amortization methods, useful lives, and residual values of intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(XIV) Impairment of non-derivative financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, deferred income tax assets, and non-financial assets other than assets arising from employee benefits) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

24

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or cash-generating units (CGUs).

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro-rata basis.

For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(XV) Debt allowance

A debt allowance is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Debt allowances are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pretax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The amortization of the discount is recognized as interest expenses.

A provision of debt allowance for sales is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold based on historical allowance data and measurement of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

(XVI) Revenue recognition

1. Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of goods or services to a customer. Descriptions based on the major revenue items of the Company are as follows:

(1) Sale of goods

The Company recognizes revenue when the control over products is transferred. The transfer of control over products refers to the delivery of products to customers, and

25

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

customers may fully determine the sales channels and prices, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that may affect the acceptance of products by customers. Delivery occurs when products are delivered to a specified venue, the risks of obsolescence and losses are transferred to the customers, and customers have accepted products according to sales contracts, the acceptance terms have become invalid, or the Company has objective evident recognizing that all acceptance conditions have been fulfilled.

The Company is obliged to refund due to defects for the standard warranty it provides and has recognized warranty liability provision for such obligations.

The Company recognizes accounts receivable when delivering products as the Company gains the rights to unconditionally receive considerations.

26

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

(2) Rental income

The rental income arising from investment property is recognized in accordance with the straight-line method over the lease period; also, the given lease incentives are deemed as part of the overall rent income, and it is credited to the rental income in accordance with the straight-line method over the lease period. The revenues generated from the sub-lease of the property are recognized as non-operating income and expenses under “lease rental income.”

(3) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(XVII) Employee benefits

1. Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to the defined contribution plans are expensed as related services are provided.

2. Defined benefit plans

The Company’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each of the plans by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprises actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

27

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to prior service costs or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(XVIII) Income taxes

Income taxes comprise both current taxes and deferred income taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred income taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Current income tax includes estimated income tax payable or tax refund receivable calculated based on the taxable income (losses) of the year and any adjustment made to the income tax payable or tax refund receivable in prior years. The amount is the best estimate of estimated amounts payable or receivable measured based on the tax rates enacted or substantively enacted on the reporting date.

Deferred income taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities on the financial reporting date and their respective tax bases. Deferred income taxes are recognized except for the following:

  1. temporary differences in the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;

  2. temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

  3. taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred income tax asset is recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the

28

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

probability of future taxable profits improves.

Deferred income taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  1. the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  2. the deferred income tax assets and the deferred income tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  3. (1) The same taxable entity; or

  4. (2) Different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred income tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

(XIX) Earnings per share

The Company discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. Basic earnings per share are calculated as the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Potential ordinary shares of the Company include the remuneration of employees.

(XX) Operating segments

The Company has disclosed the segment information in the consolidated financial statements; therefore, the parent company only financial statements will not disclose segment information.

V. Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:

In preparing the separate financial statements, management is required to make judgments and estimates regarding the future (including climate-related risks and opportunities), which affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of

29

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

those changes in accounting estimates in the following period.

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the parent company only financial statements causes no significant effects.

Information about assumptions or estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is as follows: Inventory valuation

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the effects of consumers’ preferences and technological changes, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Please refer to Note 6(6) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

The Company holds such equity instruments as long-term strategic investments, not for transaction purposes; therefore, they are designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

In 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized a dividend income of NT$29,169 thousand and NT$28,658 thousand, respectively, for the investments in equity instruments designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Due to changes in investment strategy in 2024 and 2023, the Company has disposed of its financial assets designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The fair value upon the disposals was NT$2,924 thousand and NT$47,330 thousand, and the Company recorded cumulative disposal (losses) gains of NT$(3) thousand and NT$2,684 thousand, respectively. The cumulative disposal gains have been transferred to retained earnings.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the cost of goods sold and expenses amounted to NT$2,387,917 thousand and NT$2,411,916 thousand, respectively. It includes an inventory valuation loss of NT$4,831 thousand recognized in 2024 due to the write-down of inventory to net realizable value, which has been accounted for as part of operating costs. In 2023, as the factors that had previously caused the net realizable value of inventory to fall below cost had ceased to exist, an inventory recovery gain of NT$5,689 thousand was recognized and accounted for as a deduction from operating costs. Additionally, inventory scrap losses of NT$5,904 thousand and NT$8,343 thousand were recognized in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, none of the Company’s inventories was pledged as collateral.

(VII) Investments accounted for using the equity method

The investments accounted for using the equity method at the end of the reporting period are set out as follows:

2024.12.31
1.375%
1.250%
2023.12.31

1.250%

1.250%

The expected allocation payment to be made by the Company to the defined benefit plan within one year after the reporting date of 2024 is NT$0.

The weighted average lifetime of the defined benefits plans is 5.7 years.

(6) Sensitivity analysis

If the actuarial assumptions had changed, the impact on the present value of the

defined benefit obligation as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 shall be as follows:

Influences on defined benefit

obligations

December 31, 2024

The sensitivity analysis above analyzed the effects of changes in a single assumption, and other assumptions remained unchanged. In practice, multiple assumptions may be correlated. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of the net defined benefit liabilities on the balance sheets.

There is no change in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of the sensitivity analysis for 2022 and 2021.

According to the Company Act, the capital reserve shall be used to offset deficits first, and the realized capital reserve may be used to distribute new shares or cash based on the initial shareholding of shareholders. The aforementioned realized capital reserve includes the premium on the issuance of shares above par and income received. According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, capital reserve that may be appropriate to the capital shall not exceed 10% of the paid-in capital in aggregate each year.

3. Retained earnings

The Company is in the traditional industry. The life cycle of the Company is in the growing stage. To consider the need of the Company for future capital, long-term financial planning, and the need for cash inflows for shareholders, the distribution of the Company’s earnings shall consider the net earnings of the current year as the priority. If the Company records earnings after the final account, apart from paying profit-seeking business income tax and compensating losses from prior years according to the law, it shall appropriate a 10% legal reserve and appropriate special reserve based on the actual requirements of the Company. If there are remaining earnings, such earnings shall be combined with the undistributed earnings at the beginning of the period, and the Board shall prepare a proposal for earning distribution and submit it to the shareholders’ meeting for the resolution of distribution.

The distribution of shareholders’ dividends may be distributed after the Board has formulated the proposal and submitted it to the shareholders’ meeting for approval based on the Company’s operating status and capital requirements. The distribution of cash dividends shall be prioritized. When cash dividends and share dividends are distributed at the same time, the ratio of cash dividends therein shall not be less than 10% of total

48

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

dividends.

When the amount of legal reserve has reached the total capital, the shareholders’ meeting may resolve to cease the appropriation.

For the distribution of dividends and bonuses from legal reserve and capital reserve, the distribution shall be made after the Board has formulated the proposal and submitted it to the shareholders’ meeting for approval according to the requirements of relevant laws and regulations.

(1) Legal reserve

When the Company has no losses, it may, based on the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting, distribute new shares or cash from the legal reserve; however, the portion distributable shall be the portion of the reserve that exceeds 25% of the paid-in capital.

  • (2) Special reserve

For the initial application of IFRS that is approved by the FSC, the Company chose to adopt the exemptions in IFRS1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.” Therefore, for the unrealized revaluation increment under the shareholder’s equity, retained earnings increased by NT$658,175 thousand according to the requirements. Pursuant to the Order Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi No.1010012865 of the FSC dated April 6, 2012, the same amount of special reserves should be appropriated, and when relevant assets are used, disposed of, or reclassified, the special reserve appropriated initially shall be reversed as distributable earnings proportionately. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying amount of the special reserve amounted to NT$458,116 thousand.

(3) Earnings distribution

The proposal for earning distribution for 2023 and 2022 was approved as a resolution at the shareholders’ meeting on June 26, 2024 and July 21, 2023. The amount of dividends distributed to the owners is as follows:

(XXIII) Remuneration of employees and remuneration of Directors and supervisors

According to the requirements of the Articles of Incorporation, if the Company records any profits, it shall appropriate 5%~8% of the annual profits. The appropriation ratio for the remuneration of employees and remuneration of Directors and supervisors shall be up to 3% of the annual profits. However, if the Company still has accumulated losses, an amount shall be reserved in advance to make up for the losses.

For years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the estimated remuneration of employees was NT$4,378 thousand and NT$3,722 thousand, and the remuneration of Directors was NT$2,189 thousand and NT$1,861 thousand, respectively. The estimation basis is the net profit of the Company in the respective period before the remuneration of employees and remuneration of Directors and supervisors multiplied by the distribution ratio of the remuneration of employees and remuneration of Directors and supervisors as stated in the Articles of Incorporation, and the amounts were presented as operating costs or operating expenses of the period. If there are differences between the actual distribution amount and the estimated amount, they are treated as changes in accounting estimates, and such differences are recognized as profit or loss in the following year. For the remuneration of employees and remuneration of Directors and supervisors of the Company, the actual distribution amount and the estimated amount in 2023 were equivalent; for relevant information, please visit MOPS for inquiries.

(XXV) Financial instruments

1. Credit risks

  • (1) Credit risk exposure

The carrying amount of financial assets and contract assets represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk.

  • (2) Concentration of credit risk

54

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

The major customers of the Company are centralized in several distributors. In order to reduce the credit risk, the Company continues to evaluate the financial status of these customers and request collateral or guarantee when necessary. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of collectability of accounts receivable and sets aside an allowance for bad debts, and the impairment losses generally fall within the expectations of the management. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, 50% and 46% of notes receivable balance and 26% and 19% of accounts receivable balance were concentrated on three customers. Thus, the credit risk of the Company is significantly centralized.

(3) Credit risk of amounts receivable

For information on the exposure to credit risks of notes and accounts receivable, please refer to Note 6(4).

(2) Sensitivity analysis

The exposure of the Company’s monetary items to currency risk arises from the exchange gains or losses arising from the translation of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, borrowings, accounts payable, and other payables that are denominated in foreign currencies. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, if an appreciation or depreciation of 1% of the NTD against the USD occurs, the net profit after tax of 2024 and 2023 would have increased or decreased by NT$122 thousand and NT$444 thousand, respectively.

  • (3) Exchange gains or losses of monetary items

Exchange gains or losses of monetary items of the Company (including those realized and unrealized) in 2024 and 2023 were gains of NT$952 thousand and losses of NT$1,857 thousand.

4. Interest rate analysis

The exposure of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are described in the liquidity risk management of the note.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to the interest rates risk of derivative and non-derivative instruments on the reporting date. Regarding liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of liabilities outstanding on the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 1% when reporting to the key management internally, which also represents the management's assessment of the reasonable and possible scope of change in interest rates.

The Company’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings bearing floating interest rates. If the interest rate increases or decreases by 1%, the Company’s net profit before tax will decrease or increase by NT$4,100 thousand and NT$4,800 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and all other variables remained constant.

5. Information on fair value

  • (1) Types and fair value of financial instruments

Regarding the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets and liabilities for hedging, and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (financial assets available for sales) of the Company, the carrying amount and fair value of various financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a repetitive basis (including the information on the level of fair value; however, for financial instruments not measured at fair value with their carrying amount being reasonable approximates and investments in equity instruments

  • (2) Fair value valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value Non-derivative financial instruments

If a financial instrument has a quoted price in an active market, the quoted price is used as fair value. The quotation, which is published by the main exchange or that which was deemed to be a public bond by the Treasury Bureau of Central Bank, is included in the fair value of the listed securities instruments and the debt instruments in active markets with an open bid.

If quoted prices of financial instruments can be obtained in time and often from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industrial unions, pricing institutes, or authorities, and such prices can reflect those actual trading and frequently happen in the market, the financial instruments are considered to have quoted prices in an active market. The market shall be deemed inactive when not fulfilling the abovementioned conditions. In general, significant gaps in trading prices, significant increases in gaps in trading prices, or minor trading volume are deemed as indicators of an inactive market.

If the financial instruments held by the Company have an active market, the fair value, by category and attribute, is set out as follows:

Shares of companies listed on TWSE (TPEX) are financial assets and financial liabilities traded in active markets that fulfill the standard terms and conditions; their fair value shall be based on the market quotations.

Apart from the financial instruments with an active market above, the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined based on the general recognition pricing model that is used as the basis through cash flow discount analysis.

If the financial instruments held by the Company has no active market, the fair value, by category and attribute, is set out as follows:

60

Equity instruments with no open quote: The Company adopts the net asset value method, which primarily assumes that the measurement shall be made based on the net worth per share of the investee.

61

Hocheng Corporation Parent Company Only Financial Statements (cont’d)

The Company’s financial instruments that are classified for fair value measurement by using Level 3 inputs include financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - securities investments.

Most of the Company’s financial assets in Level 3 have only single significant unobservable input, while investments in equity instruments without an active market have multiple significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs of investments in equity instruments without an active market are individually independent, and there is no correlation between them.

The quantitative information of significant unobservable inputs is set out as follows:

The Company, through training, management standards, and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Company’s Board oversees how the management monitors compliance with risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to risks faced by the Company. Internal auditors assist the Board of the Company in supervising. Such personnel undertakes regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management control and procedures, and the results are reported to the Board.

3. Credit risk

Credit risk means the potential loss of the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s accounts receivables from customers and investments in securities.

statistics of similar financial assets.

(2)Investment

The credit risk exposure of bank deposits and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Company’s Finance Department. As the Company deals with banks and counterparties with good credit standing and financial institutions, corporate organizations and government agencies, which are graded above the investment level, there is no significant performance suspicion; therefore, there is no significant credit risk.

In general, the Company ensures that it possesses sufficient cash to meet expected operating expenditure requirements, including the performance of financial obligations, but excluding potential effects that cannot be reasonably estimated under extreme circumstances (i.e., natural disasters).

5. Market risk

Market risk is the risk of changes in market prices, such as exchange rates, interest rates, and equity instrument prices, that will affect the Company’s revenue or the value of financial instruments we hold. The objective of market risk management is to control the market risk exposure within the tolerable range and to optimize the investment return.
