Independent Auditors’ Report

To the board of directors of Hiroca Holdings Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Hiroca Holdings Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, as well as relevant notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibility under those standards are further described in the paragraph “Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements”. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We are convinced that we have acquired enough and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis of audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Revenue recognition

Please refer to Note 4(P) to the 2024 consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on revenue recognition. Please refer to Note 6(S) to the consolidated financial statements for the disclosures of revenue.

Description of key audit matters:

Sales revenue is the main indicator for investors and management to evaluate the Group’s financial or business performance. As the accuracy of the time point at which revenue was recognized had a significant impact on the financial statements, it was an important matter when we audited the financial statements.

~ 3 ~

Audit procedures:

Our main audit procedures for the above key audit matter included understanding and testing the effectiveness of the internal control over the sales and collection cycle; testing details; checking the Group’s accounting treatment of revenue recognition and evaluating if it was in compliance with relevant rules; randomly selecting sales transactions for a period of time before and after the balance sheet date to check the relevant documents and receipts to evaluate the correctness of the time point at which revenue was recognized. Furthermore, we checked if there were any major returns after the balance sheet date.

2. Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Note 4(H) to the 2024 consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions for the inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 6(E) to the consolidated financial statements for disclosures of inventories.

Description of key audit matters:

In the Group's financial statements, inventories are measured at the lower of cost or the net realizable value. The Company manufactures and sells a variety of automotive trim parts and electronic plastic parts, mainly to the world major automakers. The sales of various car models may affect the sales of the inventories and the fluctuation of the selling prices, which may result in a risk of the net realizable value of the inventories being lower than the cost. Therefore, the inventory valuation testing was one of the important evaluation items for us when auditing the Group's financial statements.

Audit procedures:

Our main audit procedures for the above key audit matter included reviewing the inventory aging reports and analyzing the changes in the inventory age for each period; evaluating the reasonableness of the Group's accounting policies, such as a policy on an allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses; evaluating if the inventories have been valuated as per the Group's established accounting policies; reviewing the reasonableness of the Group’s provision of an allowance for inventory losses in the past and comparing them with the allowance estimated in this current period to assess if the estimation method and assumptions in this period were appropriate; evaluating management’s disclosure of the allowance for inventories was appropriate.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including members of Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

~ 4 ~

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from any material misstatements arising from fraud or error and to issue an independent auditors' report. Reasonable assurance is a high-level assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise from frauds or errors. If the amounts of misstatements, either separately or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the consolidated financial statements, they are considered material.

We have utilized our professional judgment and maintained professional doubt when performing the audit work in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. We also performed the following tasks:

  1. Identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement arising from fraud or error within the consolidated financial statements; designed and executed countermeasures in response to said risks, and obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our opinion. Fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Therefore, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than one resulting from error.

  2. Understood the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, while not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

  3. Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by the management.

  4. Concluded on the appropriateness of the management's adoption of the going concern basis of accounting based on the audit evidence obtained and whether a material uncertainty exists for events or conditions that may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we are of the opinion that a material uncertainty exists, we shall remind users of the consolidated financial statements to pay attention to the relevant disclosures in said statements within our audit report. If such disclosures are inadequate, we need 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluated the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the consolidated financial statements adequately present the relevant transactions and events.

  6. Obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence concerning the financial information of entities within the Group, to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We were responsible for guiding, supervising, and performing the audit and forming an audit opinion about the Group.

  7. The matters communicated between us and the governing bodies included the planned scope and times of the audit and material audit findings (including any material defects in internal control identified during the audit).

  8. We also provided the governing bodies with a declaration that we have complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China regarding independence and communicated with them all relations and other matters that may possibly be regarded as detrimental to our independence (including relevant protective measures).

  9. From the matters communicated with the governing bodies, we determined the key audit matters for the audit of the Group's consolidated financial statements of the current period.

~ 5 ~

We have clearly indicated such matters in the auditors' report. Unless legal regulations prohibit the public disclosure of specific matters, or in extremely rare cases, where we decided not to communicate specific items in the auditors' report, it could be reasonably anticipated that the negative effects of such disclosure would be greater than the public interest it brings forth.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Chen, Yi-Chun and Lien, Shu-Ling. KPMG

(English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Report Originally Issued in Chinese) Hiroca Holdings Limited and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars , Unless Otherwise Specified)

1. Company History

Hiroca Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) was incorporated in the British Cayman Islands on December 8, 2009 as an investment holding company. It was mainly established for the purpose of organizational restructuring to file an application for public offering to the FSC, Executive Yuan, Republic of China. It issued ordinary shares on December 15, 2009, at a share swap ratio of 5 to 1 to obtain 100% equity of Lofty Success Group Limited. After restructuring, the Company became the parent company of Lofty Success Group Limited. The Company’s consolidated financial statements on December 31, 2023 include the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Group") as well as the Group's equity in affiliates. The Group mainly engages in the production and sales of a variety of automotive trim parts, electronic plastic parts, plastic corrugated board, and molds. The Company's stock was approved for listing by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation on September 27, 2012 and was officially listed on Taiwan Stock Exchange for trading on December 19, 2012.

2. Date and Procedure for Approval of Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for release on March 14, 2025

3. New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted

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

The details of impact on the Group’s adoption of the new amendments beginning January 1, 2024 are as follows::

  • (a) Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” and “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants”

  • Under existing IAS 1 requirements, an entity classifies a liability as current when it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. The amendments has removed the requirement for a right to be unconditional and instead now require that a right to defer settlement must exist at the reporting date and have substance.

  • According to the amendments, the classification of liabilities is unaffected by the management’s intentions or expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement or will choose to settle its liabilities in an earlier time. The entity will classify its liabilities as non-current if it has a right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. This right may be subject to the entity complying with the covenants specified in a loan agreement. The amendments specify only covenants with which the entity must comply on, or before, the reporting date affecting the classification of its liabilities as current or non-current. Covenants with which the entity must comply after the reporting date (i.e., future covenants) do not affect a liability’s classification at that

~12~

date. However, when non-current liabilities are subject to future covenants, the entity will now need to disclose additional information to help users understand the risk those liabilities could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting date. The amendments also clarify how an entity classifies a liability that can be settled in its own shares – e.g. convertible debt. When a liability includes a counterparty conversion option that involves a transfer of the entity’s own equity instruments, the conversion option is separately recognized as either equity or a liability from the host liability under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendments have now clarified that when an entity classifies its host liabilities as current or non-current, it need not consider those conversion options that are recognized only as equity.

In 2023, the Group issued five-year foreign currency convertible bonds, which comprise the bonds payable (financial liability) and the conversion option that allows the holders to convert their bonds into a fixed number of the Group’s ordinary shares at any time before the maturity date. Since the bonds are denominated in foreign currency, the embedded conversion option does not only satisfy the “fixed for fixed” requirement, it also fails to meet the definition of equity, resulting in the conversion option to be classified as a liability. According to the above amendments, the bonds payable and conversion option should be reclassified from non-current liabilities to current liabilities as follows:

There is no impact on the earnings per share and cash flows in the said period.

In addition, if the Group had applied its previous accounting policy, the bonds payable (current) and the bonds payable (non-current) would be decreased and increased by 493,525 thousand and 493,525 thousand, as well as the financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss (current) and the financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss (non-current) would be decreased

~13~

and increased by 42,960 thousand and 42,960 thousand, on December 31, 2024. However, there is no impact on the earnings per share and cash flows in the said period.

  • (b) Other amendments

The following amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

  - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 “Supplier Finance Arrangements”

  - Amendments to IFRS16 “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback”
  1. The impact of IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the FSC but not yet effective The Group assesses that the adoption of the (following) new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2025, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  2. Amendments to IAS21“Lack of Exchangeability”

  3. The impact of IFRS Accounting Standards issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Group, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:

Standards
or
Interpretations
IFRS 18
“Presentation
and Disclosure
in Financial
Statements”
Content of amendment
Effective date
per IASB
The new standard introduces three categories of income and
expenses, two income statement subtotals and one single
note on management performance measures. The three
amendments, combined with enhanced guidance on how to
disaggregate information, set the stage for better and more
consistent information for users, and will affect all the
entities.

A more structured income statement: under current
standards, companies use different formats to present
their results, making it difficult for investors to
compare financial performance across companies. The
new standard promotes a more structured income
statement, introducing a newly defined ‘operating
profit’ subtotal and a requirement for all income and
expenses to be allocated between three new distinct
categories based on a company’s main business
activities.

Management performance measures (MPMs): the new
standard introduces a definition for management
performance measures, and requires companies to
explain in a single note to the financial statements
why the measure provides useful information, how it
is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined
under IFRS Accounting Standards.

Greater disaggregation of information: the new
standard includes enhanced guidance on how
companies group information in the financial
statements. This includes guidance on whether
information is included in the primary financial
statements or is further disaggregated in the notes.
January 1, 2027

~14~

The Group is evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance upon the initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.

The Group does not expect the (following) other new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”

  • IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “ Insurance Contracts”

  • IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”

  • Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments”

  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards

  • Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity”

Summary of material accounting policies

4. Summary of material accounting policies The material accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

  • (1) Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “the Regulations” ) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C.

  • (2) Basis of preparation

  • (a) Basis of measurement Except for the important items in the balance sheet below, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared at historical cost:

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

    • (ii) Financial asset and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

  • (b) Functional currency and presentation currency The Group adopts the currency used in the main economic environment in which each system under the Group operates as its functional currency. The Company’s functional currency is CNY, but to meet the needs for primary listing on TWSE or TPEx of Republic of China, the Group presented its operating performance and financial position in NT dollars (NTD) on the balance sheet date in accordance with IAS 21; translated the consolidated balance sheet at the spot exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income at the average exchange rate during the year, and the capital transactions and other equity items attributable to owners in the consolidated financial statements at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction dates; recognized the resulting exchange differences in other comprehensive income; all financial information presented in NTD is in thousands. The spot exchange rates of CNY to

~15~

NTD prevailing on December 31, 2024 and 2023 were 1 CNY to 4.4780 and 4.3170 NTD, respectively. The average exchange rates of CNY to NTD for the year 2024 and 2023 were 1 CNY to 4.4543 and 4. 3970 NTD, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the cumulative exchange losses amounted to NT$391,105 thousand and NT$618,720 thousand, respectively. Please refer to “Other equity items” for details.

  • (3) Basis of consolidation

  • (a) Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements comprised of the Company and subsidiaries.

  • Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which the control ceases. Intra group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group attributes the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

    • The Group prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

    • Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attribute it to the owners of the parent.

  • (c) Subsidiaries excluded from the consolidation financial statements: None.

  • (4) Foreign currency

  • (a) 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, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the 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 the 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 differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

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

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

  • (iii) qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

  • (b) Foreign operations

  • The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, 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, significant influence or joint control 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 Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Group disposes only part of its investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

  • When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Exchange

~17~

differences arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.

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

  • The Group classifies the asset as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as noncurrent.

  • (a) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in its normal operating cycle.

  • (b) It is hold primarily for the purpose of trading.

  • (c) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or

  • (d) 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.

The Group classifies the A liability as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current:

  • (i) It is expected to settle in the normal operating cycle.

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading.

  • (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

  • (iv) The Group does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

  • (6) 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 which 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.

  • (7) Financial instruments

Accounts receivable are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade 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 (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

  • (a) Financial assets

  • All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

Upon initial recognition, financial assets are classified as: financial assets at

amortized cost or financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group 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.

  • (i) 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 FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets to

~18~

collect contractual cash flows

  • it is contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest(SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

  • These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income(FVOCI) A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following

  • conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧ It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; 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.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity instrument investments are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend income (unless it clearly represents a recovery of part of the investment) is recognized in profit or loss. The remaining net gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and is not reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income from equity investments are recognized on the day the Group becomes entitled to the dividends (usually the ex-dividend date).

  • (iii) Business model assessment

The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:

  • ‧ The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management ’ s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;

  • ‧ ’ How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group s management;

  • ‧ The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;

  • ‧ ─ How managers of the business are compensated e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and

  • ‧ The frequency, amount, and timing of financial assets sold in prior periods, the reasons for those sales, and expectations about future sales activity.

~19~

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, and are consistent with the Group’s continuing recognition of the assets.

  • (iv) Assessment of whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal

  • According to the assessment purpose, the principal is the fair value of an

  • financial asset at the time of initial recognition and the interest consists of the consideration of the following: the time value of money, the credit risk related to the outstanding principal during a specific period, as well as other basic lending risks, costs, and profit margin.

When assessing whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal, the Group considers the terms of financial instrument contracts, including assessing whether a financial asset contains a contractual term that can change the timing or amount of the contractual cash flows, resulting in its nonconformance with meet this criterium. During the assessment, the Group considers:

  • ‧ Any contingencies that will change the timing or amount of the contractual cash flows;

  • ‧ Terms that may cause the coupon rate of a contract to be adjusted, including the characteristics of variable interest rates;

  • ‧ Early prepayment and deferral features; and

  • ‧ The Group’s right of claim is limited to the terms for the cash flows from specific assets (such as non-recourse features).

  • (v) Impairment of financial assets The Group recognizes its loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets). The Group measures its 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 the credit risk (i.e. the risk of 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 Group 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 Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, as well as forward-looking information.

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 210 days past due.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs resulting from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the

~20~

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 Group is exposed to credit risk.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost 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 210 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 a security because of financial difficulties.

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

An allowance for losses on investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income is to have profit or loss adjusted and recognized in other comprehensive income (without the carrying amount of the asset reduced). The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.

For corporate customers, the Group 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 Group 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 Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

  • (vi) Derecognition of financial assets

  • the Group 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 substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

  • (b) Financial liabilities and equity instrument

~21~

  • (i) Classification of debt or equity Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the

    • definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
  • (ii) Equity instrument An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

  • (iii) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in 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.
  • (iv) Derecognition of financial liabilities The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group 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.
  • (v) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • (8) Inventories

  • Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is 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 their present 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.

  • Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

  • (9) Investment in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in its financial and operating policy decisions without the power to control or jointly control those policies.

The Group adopts the equity method to recognize its equity in an associate. Under the equity method, on initial recognition the investment in an associate is recognized at cost. The carrying amount of an investment in an associate includes the goodwill identified upon initial investment, less any cumulative impairment losses.

~22~

The consolidated financial statements include the profit and loss and other comprehensive income of the investment in each associate recognized by the Group in proportion to its equity after their accounting policies are aligned with the Group’s from the date of gaining significant influence on them to the date of losing significant influence on them. When a change in equity other than profit and loss and other comprehensive income of an associate does not affect the Group’s shareholding, the Group will recognize the equity change under the share of the associate attributable to the Group as capital surplus in proportion to its shareholding.

Unrealized profits and losses arising from transactions between the company and affiliated companies are recognized in the corporate financial statements only to the extent that they are not related to investors' rights and interests in affiliated companies. When the group shall recognize the loss share of the affiliated enterprise proportionally equal to or exceeds its equity in the affiliated enterprise, it shall stop recognizing its losses, and only when a legal obligation, a constructive obligation, or a payment has been made on behalf of the invested company Within the scope, additional losses and related liabilities are recognized.

  • (10)Joint arrangements

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. A joint arrangement, either a joint operation or a joint venture, has the following characteristics: (a) The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement; (b) the contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. As per IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”, joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (i.e. activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than having rights to assets and obligations to liabilities. Those parties are called joint venturers. A joint venturer shall recognize its interest in a joint venture as an investment and shall account for that investment using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures unless the entity is exempted from applying the equity method as specified in that standard. Please refer to Note 4(9) for the accounting of the equity method.

The Group shall determine the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by considering the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the terms agreed by the parties in the contractual arrangement, and other facts and circumstances. If facts and circumstances change, the Group shall reassess whether the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved has changed.

  • (11)Property, plant and equipment

  • (a) 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.

    • 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.

  • (b) Subsequent cost

    • Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic

~23~

benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

  • (c) Depreciation Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset, less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated.

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

~24~

  • (i) Buildings and structures

  • (ii) Machinery and equipment

  • (iii) Mold equipment

  • (iv) Other equipment

20 years

  • 3 ~13 years

  • 5 years

  • 2 ~ 20 years

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

(12)Leases

At inception of a contract, the Group 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.

  • (a) As a lessee

  • The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencemnt 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 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 Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

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

  • (i) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;;

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

  • (iii) amounts expected to be paid under a residual value guarantee; and

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

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

  • (i) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate.

  • (ii) there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be paid under a residual value guarantee.

  • (iii) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset.

  • (iv) there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option.

  • (v) there are any lease modifications.

  • When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, 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

~25~

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

Short-term leasing and leasing of low-value underlying assets for the leasing of some machinery and equipment and staff dormitories, the Group presents right-of-use that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

  • (b) As a lessor When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset. If the Group is a sublessor, it accounts for headlease and sublease transactions separately and classifies sublease transactions based on the right-of-use assets derived from a headlease. If a headlease is a short-term lease to which recognition exemption applies, the sublease transaction derived therefrom should be classified as an operating lease.

If an agreement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the agreement as per IFRS 15.

  • (13)Intangible assets

  • (a) Recognition and measurement Intangible assets are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (b) 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 expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • (c) Amortization 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 intangible assets of the company are mainly the cost of acquiring computer software, etc., which are amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three to ten years from the time they are ready for use, and the amortized amount is recognized in profit or loss.

    • Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
  • (14)Impairment of non-financial assets

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

~26~

recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. 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 of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

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. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. 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.

(15)Provisions

The recognition of provision is a present obligation due to past events, which makes it probable that the economic resources may flow out from the Company to settle the obligation in the future and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. A provision is discounted at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability, and the amortization of the discount is recognized in interest expense.

A provision for warranty liability is recognized when goods or services are sold and is measured based on historical warranty information and all probable outcomes weighted by respective probabilities.

(16)Revenue recognition

  1. Revenue from customer contracts

Revenue is measured as the consideration to which the transfer of goods or services is expected to be entitled. The Group recognizes revenue when the control over goods or services is transferred to customers and its performance obligations are fulfilled. The main sources of the Group’s revenue are as follows:

  • (1) Sales of goods - automobile trims

The Group manufactures car trims and sells them to automakers. The Company recognizes revenue when control over products is transferred. The transfer of the control over the goods means that the goods have been delivered to clients, who can then fully determine the sales channels and prices of the goods, without any outstanding obligations that will affect clients’ acceptance of the goods. Delivery occurs when the goods have been shipped to a specific location with its risk of obsolescence losses passed to the clients, and the clients have accepted the goods in accordance with the sales contracts; the acceptance clause has become invalid, or the Group has objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been met.

Due to the characteristics of the industry or based on the terms of agreements, after products are sold, the sales that are likely to be discounted due to product defects or practices in the market are first recognized with the total amount, and the sales revenue is written down or recognized as sales discounts and allowances when the discounts are estimated on the date of the event or the balance sheet date and will

~27~

only recognized as revenue when it is highly probable that no significant reversal will occur. As of the reporting date, the amount expected to be paid to customers due to relevant sales discounts is recognized as a refund liability. The credit period for the sales of car trims is net 30 to 120 days after the end of each month, which is consistent with the practice adopted in the industry, so it does not include any financing elements.

The Group provides a standard warranty for some products and is obliged to refund due to defects and has recognized the obligation in provisions for warranty liabilities. Please refer to Note 4(15) for details.

The Group recognizes accounts receivable when the goods are delivered, at which it has an unconditional right to receive the consideration.

  • (17)Government grants

When the Group can receive government grants to subsidize the property, plant and equipment, the Group recognizes the unconditional grants as other income. Government grants to compensate for the Group’s expenses or losses and relevant expenses in the same period are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis.

  • (18)Employee benefits

  • Defined contribution plan

Contribution obligations to the defined contribution plan are recognized as expenses in the period during which an employee provides services. Prepaid contribution are recognized as an asset to the extent that it will result in a return of cash or a decrease in future payments.

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognized as expenses when the relevant services are provided. If the Group has a present legal or constructive payment obligation due to an employee's past services and the obligation can be estimated reliably, the amount of benefits is recognized as liabilities.

  • (19)Income taxes

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

The Group judges that the interest or penalty related to income taxes (including uncertain

tax treatment) does not meet the definition of income taxes, so the accounting under IAS 37 applies.

The Group has determined that the global minimum top-up tax – which it is required to pay under Pillar Two legislation – is an income tax in the scope of IAS 12. The Group has applied a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for the impacts of the top-up tax and accounts for it as a current tax when it is incurred.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year, and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that it is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

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

  • (a) temporary differences on 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;

~28~

  • (b) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group 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

  • (c) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets are 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 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 probability of future taxable profits improves.

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

  • (a) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (b) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

    • (i) the same taxable entity; or

    • (ii) different taxable entities which intends 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 tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

  • (20)Earnings per share

  • The Group discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share are calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are calculated as 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 potentially dilutive ordinary shares. Potential dilutive common stock of the company including stock options on convertible corporate bonds

  • (21)Operating segments

  • An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may incur revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

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

When management prepares the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, it shall make judgments, estimates, and assumptions, which will affect the accounting policies adopted and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses presented. Actual results may differ from 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

~29~

of those changes in accounting estimates in the following period.

The accounting policies involve significant judgement, and the information with no material impact on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows:

  • 1) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group 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 rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Please refer to note 6(5) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

  • (a) Lease-in of land and buildings

The Group has leased in land and buildings as office premises and factories, with a lease term of four to 50 years.

Some equipment lease agreements contain an option to extend the leases. Such agreements are managed separately by entities in each region, so the individual terms and conditions agreed may differ from those of the agreements managed by the Group. Such options can only be exercised by the Group rather than the lessors. Where it is not reasonably certain that an option to extend the lease term will be exercised, payments related to the term covered by the option are not included in the lease liabilities.

  • (b) Other leases

The lease term for the machinery and equipment leased by the Group ranges from two to four years.

Also, the lease term for partial machinery and equipment and staff dormitories leased by the Group only lasts for one year. As such leases are short-term leases, the Group elects to apply for the exemption from recognition and does not recognize the relevant right-of-use assets and lease liabilities thereof.

(14) Employee benefits

The subsidiaries in China and America contribute a certain percentage of total salaries to the pension funds on a monthly basis as per local laws and regulations, and the contributions are recognized as current expenses. The Company and other overseas subsidiaries have not stipulated any employee pension regulations as the local laws and regulations do not mandatorily require the formulation of pension regulations.

The defined contribution plan of the Group’s subsidiaries in Taiwan is as per the Labor Pension Act, and the Company makes a contribution equal to 6% of each employee’s monthly salary to employees’ individual pension accounts under the Bureau of Labor Insurance. Under this plan, after the Group’s subsidiaries in Taiwan have contributed a fixed amount to the Bureau of Labor Insurance, they have no legal or constructive obligation to pay additional amounts.

(b) Deferred tax assets and liabilities

(i) Unrecognized deferred tax liabilities

The Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Also, management considers it probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Hence, such temporary differences are not recognized under deferred tax liabilities. Details are as follows:

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total number of authorized ordinary shares were NTD1,500,000 thousand dollars, with a par value of NTD10 per share, 83,840 thousand shares were issued. All issued shares were paid up upon issuance.

It is mainly caused by taking over the capital reserve and retained earnings of the pre-conversion subsidiary after the establishment of the share conversion and issuing new shares at a premium.

  • (b) Retaining earnings

  • As per the Articles of Incorporation, where the Company makes a profit for a fiscal year, the profit shall be first used for paying taxes, offsetting a cumulative deficit, setting aside 10% of the remaining profit as a legal reserve unless it has reached the total amount of the Company’s paid-in capital, setting aside an amount for a special reserve as per the Company’s business needs and laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit, together with any undistributed retained earnings from the beginning of the period, shall be adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors as the basis for making a distribution proposal, which shall then be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for a resolution before distribution.

  • (i) Special reserve

  • When the Company distributes the distributable earnings, a special reserve shall be set aside from the current profit or loss and the undistributed earnings for the prior period to make up for the difference between the net deduction of other shareholders’ equity recognized for the year and the balance of the special reserve set aside as mentioned in the preceding paragraph. If it belongs to the deduction of other shareholders' equity accumulated from the prior period, a special reserve shall be set aside from the undistributed earnings from the prior period and shall not be distributed. If there is a subsequent reversal of the amount of the deduction of other shareholders' equity, the earnings may be distributed from the reversed portion.

  • (ii) Earnings distribution

The general shareholders' meeting resolved a decision to distribute 2023 and 2022 earnings on May 30, 2024 and May 29, 2023. The amounts of dividends to be distributed to owners are as follows:

Note: In 2023, the effect of convertible corporate bonds and employee stock remuneration

was anti-dilution, so it was ignored in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

(18) Employee remuneration and directors’ remuneration

As per the Company's Articles of Incorporation, where the Company makes a profit for a year, it shall set aside no higher than 7% and no lower than 3% for employee remuneration and no higher than 3% for directors’ remuneration. However, if the Company still has a cumulative deficit, it shall reserve an amount to make up for it in advance. The recipients of the employee remuneration in stock or cash in the preceding paragraph include employees at affiliates who meet certain criteria.

The company suffered a loss in 2024 and 2023, so employee remuneration and director remuneration were not estimated. Based on the Company’s net income before tax for the period before the employee remuneration and the directors’ remuneration were deducted, multiplied by the percentages for the distribution of employee remuneration and directors' remuneration as specified in the Articles of Incorporation. These remunerations and bonuses were expensed under operating expenses for each period. Related information would be available at the Market Observation Post System website. The amounts stated in the parent company only financial statements are identical to those of the actual distributions for 2024 and 2023.

(ii) Sensitivity analysis

The exchange rate risk of the Group’s currency items mainly comes from cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies, accounts receivable and other receivables, borrowings, as well as accounts payable and other payables, from which foreign currency exchange gains and losses arise during translation. On December 31, 2024 and 2023, when the CNY depreciated or appreciated by 5% against the USD and the NTD, with all other factors held constant, the effect on the net income (loss) after tax for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

USD(against CNY and MXN)

  • (iii) Exchange gains or losses on monetary items Since the Group has many kinds of functional currencies, the information on foreign exchange gains or losses on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, foreign exchange gain or (losses) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $102,705 thousand and $(69,367) thousand, respectively.

  • (iv) Interest rate risk

  • The exposure of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities to interest rate risk is described in liquidity risk management in this note.

  • The sensitivity analysis below is based on the exposure of derivative and non-derivative instruments to interest rate risk at the balance sheet date. For floating-rate liabilities, the analysis is based on an assumption that the amount of a liability outstanding at the balance sheet date is outstanding throughout the year. The sensitivity to a 1% (100 basis points) change in the interest rate is used when reporting the interest rate risk internally to the key management personnel and also represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If the interest rate increases (decreases) by 1% (100 basis points), the Group's net profit after tax would have decreased (increased) by $6,249 thousand and $43 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, all other variable factors that remain constant. This is mainly due to the Group's demand deposit and loan in floating rates.

  • (v) Fair value of financial instruments

  • (i) Categories and fair value of financial instruments

    • The Group’s financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts and fair values of various types of financial assets and financial liabilities (including fair value level information,

  • (ii) Fair value valuation techniques for financial instruments at fair value (2.1) Non-derivative financial instruments

  • When a financial instrument is quoted in an active market, the quoted price in the active market is the fair value. The market prices announced by major exchanges and Taipei Exchange that sells popular bonds are the basis for the fair values of listed equity instruments and debt instruments with quoted prices in the active markets.

A financial instrument is deemed to be with quoted prices in the active markets if its quoted prices can be obtained from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industry associations, pricing services institutions, or competent authorities in a timely and regular manner, and the prices represent the prices in actual fair market transactions that occur frequently. If the above criteria are not met, the market is deemed inactive. Generally speaking, a large bid-ask spread, a significant increase in the bid-ask spread, or a low trading volume are all indicators of an inactive market.

Except for the above financial instruments with active markets, the fair values of other financial instruments are obtained through valuation techniques or with reference to the quoted prices by counterparties. The fair value obtained through valuation techniques may be calculated and obtained with reference to the present fair value of other financial instruments with substantively similar criteria and characteristics, discounted cash flow method, or other valuation techniques, including the use of models based on market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date.

If there is no active market for a financial instrument held by the Group and

~49~

its fair value is listed by category and attribute below:

Equity instruments without quoted prices: Their fair values were estimated using the comparable company method, and the main assumptions were made based on each investee’s book value per share, multiplied by a percentage of the earnings deduced from the market quotes of comparable publicly listed companies at home and abroad. Such an estimate has been adjusted for the effect of discounts on equity securities without adequate liquidity in the market.

  • (2.2) Derivative financial instruments

It is valuated with the valuation model widely accepted by users in the market. Derivative financial instruments are valuated with appropriate option pricing models.

  • (iii)Transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 fair values There was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 fair values in 2024 and 2023.

  • (iv) Quantitative information on the measurement of significant unobservable fair value inputs

The Group's Level 3 fair value mainly includes financial assets at fair value

~50~

through other comprehensive income.

Most of the Group’s fair values are classified as Level 3 with only a single significant unobservable input, and only equity instrument investments without an active market bear multiple significant unobservable inputs. Significant unobservable inputs for investments in equity instruments with no active market are independent of each other and therefore do not correlate. Quantitative information on significant unobservable fair value inputs is as follows:

  • (v) Sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions for fair value measurements in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy

  • The fair value measurements of the Group's financial instruments are reasonable. However, changes in the use of valuation models or valuation variables may affect the estimations. For fair value measurements in Level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions would have the following effect on other comprehensive income:

The favorable and unfavorable effects represent the changes in fair value, and fair value is based on a variety of unobservable inputs calculated using a valuation technique. The analysis above only reflects the effects of changes in a single input, and it does not include the inter relationships with another input.

  • (22) Financial risk management

  • (a) Overview

The Group have exposures to the following risks from its financial instruments:

  • (1) credit risk

  • (2) liquidity risk

  • (3) market risk

The following likewise discusses the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the above-mentioned risks. For more disclosures about the quantitative effects of these risk exposures, please refer to the respective notes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

  • (b) Structure of risk management The Group’s Finance Department provides services for each business, coordinates operations in domestic and international financial markets, and monitors and manages the financial risks related to the Group’s operations as per the internal risk report on the analysis of internal risk exposures based on risk levels and breadth. The use of derivative financial instruments is regulated by the policies approved by the Board of Directors, including the written principles of exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment with remaining liquidity. Internal auditors continue to verify the compliance with policies and the maximum exposures. The Group does not trade financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) for speculative purposes.

  • (c) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers and investments.

  • (1) Accounts receivable and other receivables

    • The Group’s exposure to credit risk mainly arises from each client’s situation. However, management also considers the data on its client base, including the risk of default in each client’s industry and country, as such factors may affect credit risk. About 36% and 35% of the Group’s 2024 and 2023 revenue came from sales to two groups.

    • The Group has established a credit policy, as per which the Group analyzes each new client’s credit rating before setting standard payment and delivery terms and conditions for them. The Group's review covers external ratings, if available, and, in some cases, notes sent by banks. Each procurement limit is set for each client and regularly reviewed.

When the Group monitors the credit risk from clients, it is grouped according to the clients’ credit characteristics. The main clients of the Group’s accounts receivable and other receivables are international joint venture automakers in mainland China (established jointly by foreign and China’s investors) and local independent car brands in mainland China. To reduce credit risk, the Group continues to regularly evaluate the clients’ financial position but usually does not require them to provide collateral.

~52~

The Group has provided an allowance for bad debts to reflect its estimate of incurred losses on accounts receivable, other receivables, and investments. The main components of the allowance for losses account include specific losses related to each significant exposure and combined losses established for incurred but unidentified losses from a group of similar assets. The allowance for combined losses account is determined based on the data on historical payments for similar financial assets.

  • (2) Investments

    • The exposure to credit risk for the bank deposits and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Group's finance department. The Group only deals with banks, other external parties, corporate organizations, government agencies and financial institutions, with good credit rating. The Group expects the counterparties above to meet their obligations; hence, there is no significant credit risk arising from these counterparties.
  • (d) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

  • The Group monitors cash flow needs and optimal return on investment in cash. Generally speaking, the Group ensures that there is sufficient cash to cover expected operating expenditure for 60 days, including the fulfillment of financial obligations and excluding potential impacts that cannot be reasonably expected under extreme circumstances, such as natural disasters. Moreover, the Group’s undrawn borrowing facilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to NT$987,987 thousand and NT$607,699 thousand, respectively.

  • (e) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, that will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

Exchange rate risk

The Group is exposed to exchange rate risk arising from sales, procurement, and borrowings that are not denominated in its functional currencies. The Group’s functional currency is CNY. The main currencies, in which such transactions are denominated, are USD and JPY.

Interest on borrowings is denominated in the loan principal currency. Generally speaking, the borrowings are denominated in the same currency as the cash flows arising from the Group’s operations, primarily USD. As such, it provides financial hedging without a need to trade derivatives, so hedge accounting is not adopted.

As for monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other foreign currencies, when a short-term imbalance occurs, the Group will buy or sell foreign currencies at the spot exchange rate to ensure that the net exposure remains at an acceptable level. (23) Capital management

The Group has drawn up a capital management plan based on the industry characteristics and future business development, as well as factors of changes in the external environment, to ensure that it has the necessary financial resources and a complete business plan to provide future working capital, capital expenditure, and research and

~53~

development expenses, repay debts, and pay out dividends. Competent authorities adopt an appropriate debt-to-equity ratio or other financial ratios to determine the Group’s optimum capital. While maintaining a solid foundation for capital, the Group will optimize the debt and equity balances to increase return on equity.

The Group's debt-to-equity ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:

The payment term for related parties ranges from 30 ~ 60 days or is negotiated and agreed upon by both parties, and the payment term for general suppliers is mainly 30–90 days after the end of each month.

To avoid the repeated calculation of the above purchase and sales, the Group presented the income and costs of the sales of raw materials and semi-finished goods to affiliates and other related parties in net amounts. When the affiliates completed the processing and manufacturing and sold them back to the Group for resale, the relevant operating revenue and costs were initially recognized, but the receivables and payables failed to meet the conditions for derecognition, so they were still listed in an aggregate manner.

(b) Others

The Group entrusted affiliates, joint ventures, and other related parties for in 2024 and 2023 payments for processing and purchases of miscellaneous items and paid them NT$1,649 thousand and NT$1,264 thousand, respectively.
