INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To Headway Advanced Materials Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Headway Advanced Materials Inc. (the Company), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies).
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the parent company only financial performance and parent company only cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2024, and 2023 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 generally accepted in 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 most significant in our audit of the 2024 parent company only financial statements of Headway Advanced Materials Inc. 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 the matters.
Key audit matters for the 2024 parent company only financial statements of Headway Advanced Materials Inc. are stated as follows:
- 3 -
Revenue Recognition
The revenue of Headway Advanced Materials Inc.primarily comes from the sales of PU resins. Considering that revenue recognition inherently carries a higher risk of fraud and that management may face pressure to meet expected financial targets, the auditor has identified the authenticity of sales revenue for certain customers, where sales growth compared to the same period last year is notable, as a key audit matter.
The auditor performed the following key audit procedures to address the authenticity of sales revenue for these customers:
-
1.Understanding and evaluating the design and operational effectiveness of the internal controls and procedures related to the sales transaction cycle.
-
2.Obtaining sales details, selecting samples for substantive testing, reviewing documents such as orders, shipping documents, export declarations, and sales invoices, and examining whether there are any abnormalities in the collection of payments from customers to confirm the authenticity of revenue recognition.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of and fair presentation of the parent company olny 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud and error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability of Headway Advanced Materials Inc. to continue as a going concern, disclosing, applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Headway Advanced Materials Inc. or to cease operations, or has a realistic alternative but to do so.
The governance unit (including the Audit Committee) of Headway Advanced Materials Inc. is responsible for monitoring the financial report process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives aim to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
- 4 -
that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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 internal control of Headway Advanced Materials Inc.
-
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 paretn 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause Headway Advanced Materials Inc. to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements (including the relevant notes), and whether the parent company only 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 formed in Headway Advanced Materials Inc. to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of Headway
-
5 -
Advanced Materials Inc. audit. 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 provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with The Norm of the Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant regarding the independence of personnel from our firm, 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 2024 parent company only financial statements of Headway Advanced Materials Inc. and are therefore the audit key matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosures 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.

A) IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”
-
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, the main
-
differences between the two standards include:
-
a) All items of income and expense need to be classified in one of five categories in the statement of profit or loss: operating, investing, financing, income tax, and discontinued operations categories.

Items with
-
15 -
characteristics that are not shared should be disaggregated in the primary financial statements and notes. The Company should only label these items as ‘other’ when they cannot find a more informative name.
-
d) Increasing the disclosure of Management-defined performance measures (MPMs): When the Company conducts public communication outside financial statements and communicates with financial statement users about the management’s view of a certain aspect of the overall financial performance of the company, it should disclose relevant information about the MPMs in a single note to the financial statements. This includes the description of the measure, how it is calculated, its adjustments to the subtotals or totals specified by the IFRS accounting standards, and the impact of related adjustment items on income tax and non-controlling interests, etc. Besides the impacts, up until the date the accompanying parent company
-
only financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company continues to assess the impact on its financial position and financial performance from the initial adoption of standards or interpretations and related applicable period.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(1) Statement of compliance
This parent company only financial report is prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs recognized by and declared effective by the FSC.
(2) Preparation basis for financial statements
Except for the financial instruments measured at fair value and the net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the present value of the defined benefit obligation net of the fair value of the planned assets, this parent company only financial report is prepared at the historical cost.
- 16 -
The measurement of fair value is divided into Level 1 to Level 3 according to the observability and importance of the relevant input values: Level 1 input values: It refers to the market price (unadjusted) of the same
asset or liability available on the measurement date. Level 2 input values: It refers to the directly (that is, price) or indirectly (that is, derived from price) observable input value of an asset or liability, except for Level 1 quotation. Level 3 input values: It refers to the unobservable input value of an asset or liability.
When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company accounted for subsidiaries and associates 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 Parent Company Only financial statements, the differences in the accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis were adjusted under the heading of investments accounted for using equity method, share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using equity method, share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using equity method.
- (3) Classification criteria for classifying assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent
Current assets include:
-
A) Assets are held primarily for trading purposes.
-
B) Assets that are expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
-
C) Cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted items that will be exchanged or used to liquidate liabilities within 12 months after the balance sheet date).
Current liabilities include:
-
A) Liabilities held primarily for trading purposes.
-
B) Liabilities that will be maturing for settlement within 12 months after the balance sheet day (even if a refinancing agreement to reschedule
-
17 -
payments on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the financial statements are authorized for issue), and.
- C) Liabilities that cannot be unconditionally extended for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Assets and liabilities other than current assets and current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and noncurrent liabilities.
(4) Foreign Currency
The Company that has financial reports prepared in a currency (foreign currency) other than its functional currency shall have it converted into the functional currency at the exchange rate on the trading day.
Foreign currency transactions are converted in accordance with the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The exchange difference amount arising from the settlement or exchange transaction should be recognized as profit and loss.
Non-monetary items in foreign currency measured at the fair value are converted at the exchange rate on the day when the fair value is determined, and the resulted exchange difference is recognized as profit and loss. However, if the change in fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income, the resulted exchange difference is recognized in the other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items in foreign currency measured at the historical cost are converted at the exchange rate on the trading day and will not be converted again.
(5) Inventory
Inventories include raw materials, work-in-process products, and finished products. Inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The comparison of the cost and net realizable value, except for the same type of inventory, is itemized. Net realizable value refers to the estimated selling price under normal circumstances, minus the estimated cost required to complete the project and the estimated cost required to complete the sale. The weighted average method is adopted for the calculation of inventory cost.
- 18 -
(6) Investments in Subsidiaries
Investments accounted for using the equity method include 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 profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary as well as the distribution received. The Company also recognizes its share in the changes in the equity of subsidiaries.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the carrying amount of the subsidiary and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
When the share loss of a subsidiary for the Company is equal to or exceeds its equity in the subsidiary (including the book value of the subsidiary under equity method and the other long-term equities substantially attributable to the Company’s composition on the net investment of the subsidiary), the loss is recognized according to the ongoing shareholding ratio.
The acquisition cost exceeding the shares at a net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities that constitute the subsidiary business to which the Company is entitled on the date of acquisition shall be recognized as goodwill. Such goodwill includes the book value of the investments and may not be amortized. The shares at the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities that constitute the subsidiary business which the Company is entitled on the date of acquisition exceeding the acquisition cost shall be recognized as current revenue.
The Company takes overall consideration of cash-generating units and compares them with the recoverable amount and book value of the financial statements in the evaluation of impairment. In case of an increase in the recoverable amount of assets, the reversal of impairment loss will be recognized as revenue. Nonetheless, the book value of the assets after the
- 19 -
reversal of impairment loss may not exceed the book value less the due amortization without recognizing the impairment loss. The impairment loss attributable to goodwill may not be reversed later.
When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, any retained investment of the former subsidiary is measured at the fair value at that date. A gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and calculated as the difference between (a) the aggregate of the fair value of consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest at the date when control is lost; and (b) the previous carrying amount of the investments in such subsidiary. In addition, the Company shall account for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the subsidiary had directly disposed of the related assets and liabilities.
Unrealized gains and losses from downstream transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated in the parent company only financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from upstream and lateral transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent that they are unrelated to the Company's interest in the subsidiaries.
(7) Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recognized at the cost first and then measured at the cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss subsequently.
Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis within the service life for each significant part separately. The Company shall review the estimated service life, residual value, and depreciation method at least once at the end of each year and defer the effect of changes on the applicable accounting estimates.
The difference between the net disposal amount of the property, plant, and equipment and the book amount is recognized as profit and loss at the time of having them delisted.
(8) Intangible assets
- 20 -
A) Individually acquired:
Individually acquired finite-lived intangible assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Company review the estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods at least at each annual reporting period end and defers the effect of any accounting estimate changes. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reported at cost less 。 accumulated impairment losses.
B) Derecognition:
When intangible assets are derecognized, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
- (9) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets
The Company assesses on each balance sheet date whether there is any sign indicating that property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets may have been impaired. If there is any sign of impairment, the recoverable amount of the asset should be estimated. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be estimated, the Company should estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
For intangible assets with indefinite-lived and are not yet available for use, impairment tests are conducted at least annually and when there are indications of impairment.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value net of the cost of sales or its use-value. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is lower than its book value, the book value of the asset or the cash-generating unit should be reduced to its recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognized in profit and loss.
When the impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the book value of the asset or the cash-generating unit is adjusted up to the revised recoverable amount; however, the increased book value may not exceed the
- 21 -
book value (net of amortization or depreciation) without any impairment loss of the assets or cash-generating unit recognized in previous years. The reversal of the impairment loss is recognized in the profit and loss.
(10) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the parent company only balance sheet when the contractual terms of the instrument become binding on the Company.
When financial assets or financial liabilities are initially recognized, if they are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, they are measured at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
A) Financial assets
Conventional transactions of financial assets are recognized and derecognized in accordance with the trade date accounting.
a) Type of measurement
The types of financial assets held by the Company are financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss, financial assets measured at amortized cost, and equity instrument investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. (I) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss mandatorily. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss mandatorily include equity instrument investments that are not designated by the Company to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and debt instrument investments that are not classified as to be measured at amortized cost or measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and any dividends or interest generated
- 22 -
by them are recognized separately in other income and interest income, respectively. Any gains or losses resulting from the subsequent measurement are recognized in other income or loss. Please refer to Note 27 for the determination of fair value.
- (II) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
If an investment in financial assets of the Company meets both of the following conditions, it is classified as a financial asset measured at amortized cost:
-
(i) It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flow; and
-
(ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and
-
cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivable measured at amortized cost, term deposits with original maturities of more than 3 months) after initial recognition are subsequently measured at the amortized cost, the book value determined by the effective interest method less any impairment losses. Any foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
Except for the following two circumstances, interest income is calculated by having the effective interest rate multiplied by the total book value of the financial assets:
-
(i) For financial assets with the purchase or original impairment, interest income is calculated by having the effective interest rate after credit adjustment multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial asset.
-
(ii) For financial assets not with the purchase or original credit impairment, but subsequently become credit-impaired financial assets, interest income should be calculated by having the effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period after the credit impairment.
-
23 -
Cash equivalents include time deposits and bonds with a repurchase agreement that are highly liquid and have a maturity of less than 3 months from the acquisition date. They can be easily converted into a fixed amount of cash and have a minimal risk of value fluctuation and are used to meet short-term cash commitments.
(III) Equity instruments investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
The Company at the time of initial recognition can make an irrevocable choice to have the equity instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income investment that is not held-for-trade and not recognized through a business merger or with considerations paid.
Equity instrument investment is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; subsequent changes in fair value are reported in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equities. At the time of disposing of the investment, the accumulated profit and loss is directly transferred to retained earnings and is not reclassified as profit and loss.
Dividends from equity instrument investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in the profit and loss when the Company’s right to receive payments is established unless the dividends clearly represent part of the investment cost recovered.
b) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses the impairment loss of financial assets (including accounts receivable) measured at amortized cost according to the expected credit loss on each balance sheet date.
Allowance for loss is recognized as accounts receivable according to the expected credit loss throughout the duration. For other financial assets, assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk after the initial recognition, if there is no significant increase, the allowance for loss is recognized according to the 12-month expected credit loss; however, if there is a significant increase in credit risk, the allowance
- 24 -
for loss is recognized according to the expected credit loss throughout the duration.
Expected credit loss is the weighted average credit loss based on the risk of default. The 12-month expected credit loss refers to the expected credit loss caused by the possible default event of the financial instrument within 12 months after the reporting date, and the expected credit loss throughout the duration refers to the expected credit loss caused by all possible default events throughout the duration of the financial instrument.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is with the book amount adjusted down through the allowance account.
c) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company will have the financial assets derecognized only when the contractual right from the cash flow of the financial asset is terminated, or the financial asset has been transferred and almost all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the asset have been transferred to other companies.
When a financial asset measured at amortized cost is derecognized entirely, the difference between the book value and the consideration received is recognized in the profit or loss. When equity instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are derecognized entirely, the accumulated profit and loss is directly transferred to retained earnings without having it reclassified as profit and loss.
B) Financial liabilities
- a) Subsequent measurement
Except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
- b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
When financial liabilities are derecognized, the difference between the book value and the total consideration paid (including any noncash transferred assets or assumed liabilities) is recognized in profit or loss.
- 25 -
C) Derivatives
The Company has entered foreign exchange swap contracts to manage its foreign exchange risk.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date. Any resulting gains or losses from subsequent measurement are recognized directly in profit or loss, unless the derivative is designated and qualifies as an effective hedging instrument, in which case the timing of recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative is positive, it is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, it is recognized as a financial liability.
(11) Income recognition
The Company, after identifying the performance obligations in the contract will have the transaction price amortized for each performance obligation and will recognize income when each performance obligation is fulfilled.
Commodity sales income from the sale of chemical products is recognized at the time of shipment because customers have confirmed prices and rights to use the products, as well as the primary responsibility for resale and the risk of obsolescence of the products. The Company recognizes revenue and accounts receivable at that point in time.
(12) Lease
The Company assesses whether it is (or includes) a lease contract on the contract date.
A) The Company is the lessor
When the lease clause is to transfer almost all the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of the asset to the lessee, it is classified as a financial lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
- 26 -
Under operating leases, lease payments are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease, after deduction of any lease incentives.
B) The Company is the lessee
Except for the lease payments of low-value underlying asset leases and short-term leases that are subject to the applicable recognition, the exemption is recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis during the lease period, other leases are recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the lease start date.
The right-of-use asset is originally measured at cost (including the original measurement amount of the lease liability, the lease payment paid before the lease start date minus the lease incentives received, and the original direct cost and the estimated cost of the restored underlying asset), and is subsequently measured at the cost net of the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss; also, adjust the remeasurement amount of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets are separately expressed on the balance sheet.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the lease start date to the expiration of the service life or the expiration of the lease period, whichever is earlier.
The lease liability was originally measured at the present value of the lease payment (including fixed payments). If the implicit interest rate of the lease is easy to determine, the lease payment is discounted at such an interest rate. If the interest rate is not easy to determine, the lessee’s incremental loan interest rate is applied.
Subsequently, the lease liability is measured at the amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest approach, and the interest expense is amortized during the lease period. If there are changes occurring in the lease period, the Company will re-measure the lease liability and relatively adjust the right-of-use asset. However, if the book value of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the remaining re-measurement amount is recognized in the profit and loss. Lease liabilities are separately expressed in the parent company only balance sheet.
- 27 -
(13) Borrowing Cost
All borrowing costs are recognized as profit and loss in the current period.
(14) Employee Benefit
- A) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit-related liabilities are measured by the expected non-discounted amount of cash to be paid in exchange for employee services.
B) Retirement benefits
The pension of the defined contribution plan is recognized as an expense for an amount equivalent to the retirement fund appropriated for the employee’s service period.
The defined benefit cost of a defined benefit retirement plan (including service cost, net interest, and remeasurement) is calculated using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost and settlement gains or losses) and net defined benefit liability (assets) net interest are recognized as employee benefits expense when they occur and when settlements occur. Remeasurement (including actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets net of interest) is recognized in other comprehensive income when it occurs and is included in the retained earnings and is not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
The net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are the appropriation shortage (surplus) of the defined benefit plan. The net defined benefit assets shall not exceed the present value of the refunded appropriation of the plan or the reduced appropriation in the future.
C) Other long-term employee benefits
The accounting treatment for other long-term employee benefits is like that of defined benefit retirement plans, except that any related remeasurements are recognized in the income statement.
(15) Stock-based compensation
- 28 -
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are recognized as equity instruments at their fair value on the grant date, and the best estimate of the number of units expected to vest. The expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, and Capital Surplus-Restricted Stock Units and other equity (unearned employee compensation) are adjusted accordingly. If the RSUs are immediately vested on the grant date, the entire expense is recognized on that date.
When the Company issues RSUs, other equity (unearned employee compensation) is recognized on the grant date, and Capital SurplusRestricted Stock Units is adjusted accordingly. If the RSUs are issued for consideration and the employees are required to return the consideration upon separation from the Company, the related payable should be recognized.
The estimated number of RSUs expected to vest is revised at each balance sheet date by the Company. If the original estimate is revised, the impact is recognized in the profit and loss, and the cumulative expense is adjusted to reflect the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to "Capital Surplus-Restricted Stock Units".
(16) Income tax
Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax and deferred income tax.
A) Current income tax
The Company determines the current income (loss) in accordance with the law and regulations established by each income tax agency in order to calculate the income tax payable (recoverable) accordingly.
The income tax to be levied on the undistributed earnings that are calculated in accordance with the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China is to be recognized in the year it is resolved in the shareholders meeting.
Adjustments to income tax payable for previous years are included in current income tax.
B) Deferred income tax
- 29 -
Deferred income tax is calculated according to the temporary difference between the book value of assets and liabilities and the tax basis for calculating taxable income.
Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred income tax assets are recognized when there is likely having income tax credit derived from taxable income available for deducting temporary differences and loss credit.
Taxable temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries and associates are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities unless otherwise provided that the Company can control the timing of the reversion of the temporary differences; and the temporary differences are unlikely to be reversed in the foreseeable future. The deductible temporary differences related to this type of investment will be recognized as deferred income tax assets only if it is likely to have sufficient taxable income to realize the temporary differences, and within the scope expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future.
The book amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date, and the book amount is reduced for those that are no longer likely to have sufficient taxable income to recover all or part of the assets. Those that have not been recognized as deferred income tax assets will also be reviewed on each balance sheet date, and the book amount is increased for those that are likely to generate taxable income in the future for the recovery of all or part of the assets.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate of the period when the liability is expected to be settled or the asset is expected to be realized. The said tax rate is based on the tax rate and tax law that has been legislated or substantively legislated on the balance sheet date. The measurement of the deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences arising from the way the Company expects to recover or settle the book amount of the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date.
C) Current and deferred income tax
- 30 -
Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit and loss; however, current and deferred income taxes related to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in equity are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in equity, respectively.
5. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimations, and the Main Sources of Assumption Uncertainties
When the Company adopts accounting policies, for those that cannot easily obtain relevant information from other sources, the management must make relevant judgments, estimations, and assumptions based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from estimates.
The Company has taken into consideration the economic environment, inflation, market interest rate volatility, and peer competition in assessing significant accounting estimates related to cash flow projections, growth rates, discount rates, profitability, and other factors., and the management will continue to review the estimates and basic assumptions. If the revision of the estimate only affects the current period, it is recognized in the current period; if the revision of the accounting estimate affects both the current period and the future period, it is recognized in the current period and the future period.

(1) Accounts receivable
The credit period granted by the Company to customers is generally between 30 and 90 days from the end of the month. The allowance for loss
- 33 -
is estimated based on the analysis of overdue accounts, customer creditworthiness, and financial status to estimate the number of uncollectible accounts. Before accepting new customers, the Company evaluates the credit quality of the potential customer through a credit rating system and sets the customer's credit limit. The customer's credit limit and rating are reviewed regularly every year.
The Company recognizes the allowance for loss of accounts receivable based on the expected credit loss over the remaining lifetime of the accounts. The expected credit loss is calculated using a provision matrix, which considers the customer's past default history and current financial condition, the economic situation of the industry. Because the credit loss historical experience of the Company shows no significant differences in the loss patterns among different customer groups, the provision matrix does not distinguish between customer groups, but only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the number of days overdue of accounts receivable.
The provision for doubtful accounts and notes receivable of the Company is measured based on the provision matrix as follows:

Before the end of the fiscal year, if the account balance is insufficient to pay the workers who are expected to meet the retirement conditions in the next year, the difference will be paid in a lump sum before the end of March of the next year. This account is managed by the “Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor,” and the Company has no right to affect the investment management strategy.

However, the distributable amount of the Consolidated Company’s planned assets is an amount not less than the income generated from a 2-year time deposit interest rate of the local bank.
-
B) Interest rate risk: The decline in the interest rate of government bonds will cause the present value of the defined benefit obligations to go up; however, the debt investment returns of the planned assets will also go up, and the impact of the two on the net defined benefit liabilities will partially offset each other.
-
C) Salary risk: The calculation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation is by referring to the future salary of the members of the plan. Therefore, the increase in the salary of the members of the plan will cause the present value of the defined benefit obligation to go up.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation of the Consolidated Company is actuarially calculated by a qualified actuary. The major assumptions made regarding the measurement date are as follows:
| Discount rate Expected salary increase rate |
December 31, 2024 1.5% 2.00% |
December 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| 1.25% 2.00% |
If the major actuarial assumptions experience reasonably possible changes, with all other assumptions remain unchanged, the amount of increase (decrease) in the defined benefit obligation present value is as follows:
| ows: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Discount rate Increased by 0.25% Decreased by 0.25% Expected salary increase rate Increased by 0.25% Decreased by 0.25% |
December 31, 2024 ($ 237) $ 245 $ 240 ($ 233) |
December 31, 2023 | |
| ( ( |
( ( |
$ 311) $ 322 $ 314 $ 305) |
- 44 -
Since actuarial assumptions may be correlated, it is unlikely that there is only one single assumption changed, so the aforementioned sensitivity analysis may not be able to reflect the actual changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligations.
| Amount expected to be appropriate in 1 year Average due date of the defined benefit obligation |

December 31, 2023 $ 600 9.40 Years |

The par value of the issued common shares is NT$ 10 per share, with each share entitled to one voting right and the right to receive dividends.
The Company's Shareholders' Meeting resolved to implement capital reduction on May 31, 2023, which was further approved and came into effect by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation on July 18, 2023. The amount of capital reduction is NTD 101,940 thousand and shares to be cancelled are 10,194 thousand shares. Capital reduction percentage is 14.5%. Furthermore, the board of directors, in a meeting held on August 10, 2023, decided that August 16, 2023, would be the record date for the capital reduction.
The other changes in the Company's common stock capital are mainly due to the issuance and cancellation of restricted stock units granted to employees.

Remark: The portion of capital surplus may be used to offset losses. When the Company has no losses, it may also be used to distribute cash dividends or allocate to common stock capital, subject to an annual limit based on a certain percentage of the paid in capital.
(3) Retained earnings and dividend policy
According to the Articles of Incorporation, if there are profits in the annual financial statements, the Company shall first pay taxes, make up for losses from previous years, set aside 10% of the legal reserve, and adjust for special reserves according to laws or regulations. After adding the accumulated unappropriated retained earnings from previous years, the remaining amount shall be distributable earnings. The board of directors shall propose a shareholder dividend or profit distribution plan for approval at the shareholder meeting, with a distribution range of 50% to 100% of distributable earnings.
If the distribution of dividends or profits is made in cash, the board of directors may authorize it with the approval of two-thirds of the directors present and the majority of attending directors and report it to the shareholder meeting.
For the Company's employee and director compensation distribution policy, please refer to (7) of Note 22 on employee and director compensation.
According to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the dividend policy will consider the overall development needs of the enterprise and
- 46 -
make appropriate dividend distributions. The cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of the total amount of dividends.
The legal reserve should be set aside until its balance reaches the total amount of the Company's issued and paid-up capital. The legal reserve can be used to offset losses. If the legal reserve exceeds 25% of the total amount of the outstanding capital, the excess can be used for cash distribution in addition to capitalization.
The 2023 and 2022 earnings distribution proposals are as follows:
| Legal reserve Special reserve Cash dividends Cash dividend per share (NTD) |
2023 $ 2,662 $ 10,040 $ 30,053 $ 0.5 |

The main financial risks from the operating activities of the Company are the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see a) below) and the risk of changes in interest rates (see b) below). a) Exchange rate risk
The Company engages in sales and purchase transactions denominated in foreign currencies, which exposes the Company to foreign exchange risk.
Please refer to Note 31 for the book value of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and the
- 60 -
book value of derivative instruments with foreign exchange risk exposure of the Company as of the balance sheet date. Sensitivity Analysis
The Company is mainly exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar and Chinese yuan.
The sensitivity analysis below illustrates the impact on the Company's earnings before tax when the functional currency of the relevant foreign currencies increases or decreases by 5% against the New Taiwan Dollar (the functional currency). The 5% sensitivity ratio is used by the Company's management to report foreign exchange risks to senior management and represents the reasonable possible range of exchange rate fluctuations assessed by management. The sensitivity analysis includes only the foreign currencydenominated monetary items outstanding and adjusts their year-end translation by 5% for exchange rate movements. A positive number in the table below indicates that a 5% depreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar against the relevant foreign currency will increase earnings before tax by the stated amount, while a 5% appreciation will reduce earnings before tax by the same amount.
| P&L | Effect of USD 2024 2023 $ 3,075 $ 4,661 |
Effect of Chinese yuan | Effect of Chinese yuan |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 $ 3,075 |
2024 $ 792 |
2023 | |
| $ 1,368 |
-
(I) The primary source of the impact is from the US dollar cash and US dollar-denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable by the Company that were outstanding and not hedged against cash flow risks on the balance sheet date.
-
(ii) The primary source of the impact is from the Chinese yuan cash and Chinese yuan-denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable of the Company that were outstanding and not hedged against cash flow risks on the balance sheet date.
The management believes that sensitivity analysis cannot fully represent the inherent risk of exchange rate fluctuations, as the exchange rate exposure to the balance sheet date may not reflect the exposure throughout the year.
- 61 -
b) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk since individual entities within the Company borrow funds at both fixed and floating rates. To manage this risk, the Company maintains an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate instruments and uses interest rate swap and forward rate contracts. The Company regularly evaluates its hedging activities to ensure that they align with its interest rate outlook and established risk preferences, in order to adopt the most cost-effective hedging strategies.
The book amount of the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company with interest rate risk exposure on the balance sheet date are as follows:
| ate are as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
With fair value interest rate risk-Financial assets-Financial liabilitiesWith cash flow interest rate risk -Financial assets-Financial liabilities |
December 31, 2024 $ 42,981 95,570 65,538 300,000 |
December 31, 2023 |
| $ 57,157 174,365 83,370 250,000 |
Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis below is based on the interest rate risk exposure of the non-derivative instruments on the balance sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the amount of liabilities that were in circulation on the balance sheet date was in circulation throughout the reporting period.
If the interest rate increases / decreases by 1% with all other variables held constant, the Company's net income after tax for 2024 and 2023 fiscal years will decrease /increase by NTD 2,345 thousand and NTD 1,666 thousand, respectively, mainly due to the interest rate risk associated with the Company's variable-rate borrowings.
B) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterpart of the transaction defaults on contractual obligations and causes financial losses to the Company. As for the balance sheet date, the maximum
- 62 -
credit risk exposure of the Company that may cause financial losses due to the counterparty’s failure to perform its obligations and financial guarantees provided by the Company is mainly derived from: a) the book value of financial assets recognized in the parent company only balance sheet.
- b) The maximum amount that may need to be paid by the Company for providing financial guarantees, regardless of the likelihood of occurrence.
The Company adopts a policy of conducting credit ratings on counterparties and obtaining adequate collateral in necessary situations to mitigate the risk of financial losses caused by default. The Company continues to monitor credit risk and counterparties' credit ratings and diversifies the total transaction amount among qualified clients with different credit ratings. The credit risk is controlled by annual credit limit reviews by the credit control unit.
To mitigate credit risk, the Company's management assigns dedicated units to decide on credit limits, credit approval, and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to recover overdue receivables. In addition, the Company conducts a review of the recoverable number of receivables on the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses are recognized for irrecoverable receivables. Therefore, the management of the Company believes that the credit risk of the Company has been significantly reduced.
C) Liquidity risk
The Company manages and maintains sufficient positions of cash and cash equivalents to support the operations and reduce the impact of cash flow volatility. The management of the Company supervises the usage of bank financing facilities and ensures compliance with the terms of borrowing agreements.
Bank borrowing is an important source of liquidity for the Company. The unused financing facilities of the Company are explained in the following b) financing facilities.
- 63 -
a) Non-derivative financial liabilities liquidity and interest rate risk list
The remaining contract maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the earliest date when the Company may be required to repay the liabilities, using the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities. Therefore, the bank borrowings that the Company may be required to repay immediately are listed in the earliest period in the table, without considering the probability of the bank immediately exercising such rights; other non-derivative financial liabilities are prepared based on the contractual repayment dates.
