Independent Auditors' Review Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of iCatch Technology, Inc.
Independent Auditors' Opinion
We have audited the parent company only balance sheets of iCatch Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, as well as 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 iCatch Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 20255 and 2024, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the separate Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of iCatch Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries 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 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 parent company only financial statements of iCatch Technology, Inc. for the year 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- 3 -
The key audit matters identified in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of iCatch Technology, Inc. for the year 2025, are stated as follows:
Authenticity of Revenue from Specific Customers
iCatch Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries primarily generate revenue from the sale of integrated circuit chips. For the year ended 2025, such revenue amounted to NT$1,030,258 thousand, representing 91.53% of total revenue. Accordingly, among the customers contributing to sales growth during the current year, we selected specific customers whose sales growth rates exceeded the average sales growth rate of the aforementioned customers and whose transaction amounts were significant. These customers were considered to present potential fraud risks. Therefore, we identified the recognition of the aforementioned revenue as a key audit matter. For the accounting policies and related disclosures on revenue recognition, please refer to Notes 4 and 21.
In response to this key audit matter, we performed the following audit procedures:
- Obtained an understanding of, and tested, the relevant internal control systems and operating procedures over the sales transaction cycle to confirm and evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls related to the occurrence of sales revenue.
- Reviewed the customers contributing to sales growth during the current year and selected specific customers whose sales growth rates exceeded the average growth rate of such customers and whose transaction amounts were significant, and assessed whether the transaction terms were in compliance with the approved credit policies of iCatch Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
- Selected samples from the detailed sales listings and examined original customer purchase orders, electronic sales orders, shipping documents, logistics delivery receipts or export declarations, and sales invoices. We also reviewed the payment transactions of the relevant customers to identify any irregularities, in order to verify the authenticity of the recorded revenue.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
- 4 -
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing iCatch Technology, Inc.’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 iCatch Technology, Inc. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of iCatch Technology, Inc.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
In performing our audit in accordance with auditing standards, 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 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 iCatch Technology, Inc.’s internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on iCatch Technology, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent

company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause iCatch Technology, 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 disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the components within iCatch Technology, Inc. to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We have communicated 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 identified during the audit.
We have also provided those charged with governance with a statement that we and our firm have complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China regarding independence, and have communicated 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 the key audit matters for the audit of iCatch Technology, Inc.’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended 2025. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or, 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.

January 1, 2028. Early adoption will be allowed upon the FSC's endorsement of IFRS 18.
- IFRS 10 and “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”, amendment to IAS 28
In accordance with the provisions of this amendment, if the consolidated company sells or contributes an asset to an associate (or joint venture), or it loses the control over a subsidiary, but retains its material impact (or joint control) on this subsidiary, and the aforesaid asset or subsidiary complies with the definition of “Business” in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, the consolidated company will fully recognize the profit or loss resulting from such transaction.
Additionally, if the consolidated company sells or contributes assets to an associate (or joint venture), or it loses the control over a subsidiary, but retains its material impact (or joint control) on this subsidiary in a transaction with an associate (or joint venture), while the aforesaid asset or subsidiary does not comply with the definition of “Business” in IFRS 3, the consolidated company will only recognize the profit or loss resulting from this transaction within a scope of equity of the investor irrelevant to this associate (or joint venture). In other words, the share of this profit or loss attributable to the consolidated company shall be written off.
- IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and related consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes of this standard include:
- The Company shall assess whether it has specific primary business activities involving investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers, and, based on such assessment, classify income and expense items in the statement of profit or loss into operating, investing, financing, income tax, and discontinued operations categories.
- The income statement shall present operating profit or loss, and profit or loss before financing and profit or loss before tax, and subtotals and totals of profit or loss.
-
Provide guidelines to strengthen the aggregation and disaggregating provisions: The company shall identify assets, liabilities, equity, income,
-
15 -
expenses, and cash flows resulting from individual transactions or other matters, and classify and summarize them on the basis of common characteristics, to ensure that each single-line item presented in the primary financial statements has at least a similar characteristic. Items with different characteristics shall be disaggregated in the primary financial statements and notes thereto. An item may be marked as “Others” only when the company is unable to find more informative name for it.
- Increase the disclosure of performance measurement defined by the management: When the company conducts public communication beyond the financial statements, and communicates the viewpoint of the management regarding a certain level of its overall financial performance with the users of the financial statements, it shall disclose information related to performance measurement defined by the management in a single note of the financial statements, including description of this measurement, way to calculate it, adjustment of subtotals or totals explicitly determined in IFRS Accounting Standards, as well as effects of income tax of relevant adjustment items and non-controlling interests, etc.
In addition, IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” will be amended as follows:
- When preparing cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method, the Company shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point for reconciliation.
- Interest and dividends received by the Company shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. If the Company determines that it has specific primary business activities, it shall consider the categories in which dividend income, interest income, and interest expense are presented in the statement of profit or loss in determining the classification of dividends received, interest received, and interest paid in the statement of cash flows. However, each of the aforementioned cash flows shall be classified into only one category of activities in the statement of cash flows.
As of the date when the financial statements were approved and published, the company still continually evaluated the effects of amendments to the aforesaid criteria and interpretations on the financial position and financial performance. The relevant effects would be disclosed after completion of evaluation.
- 16 -
- Summary Statement of Principal Accounting Policies
(I) Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) recognized and effectively released by the FSC.
(II) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost except financial instruments measured at fair value as well as net defined benefit liabilities recognized as the amount obtained from the deduction the fair value of planned assets from the present value of the defined benefit obligations.
The measurement of fair value is classified into levels 1-3 according to the observable degree and importance of relevant input values:
- Level-1 input value: Refer to the quotation of a same asset or liability acquirable on the measurement date in an active market (unadjusted).
- Level-2 input value: Refer to the input value of an asset or liability observable directly (i.e., price) or indirectly (i.e., deduced from price) other than the quotation at level 1.
- Level-3 input value: Refer to the unobservable input value of an asset or liability.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company accounts for its investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures using the equity method. To ensure that the current year's profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and equity presented in the parent company only financial statements are consistent with those attributable to the owners of the Company as presented in the financial statements, certain accounting differences between the parent company basis and the consolidated basis are adjusted under "Investments accounted for using the equity method," "Share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method," "Share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method," and related equity items.
(III) Criteria for Classification of Assets and Liabilities into Current and Non-Current
Current assets include:
- Assets held primarily for trading purposes;
- Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date; and
- Cash and cash equivalents (excluding those restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for more than twelve months after the balance sheet date).
Current liabilities include:
1. Liabilities held primarily for trading purposes;
2. Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date; and
3. Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
Assets and liabilities that do not meet the definition of current are classified as non-current assets or non-current liabilities, respectively.
(IV) Foreign Currencies
In preparing the financial statements, transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the closing exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the settlement of such monetary items or from translating such items at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rate on the date the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising from such translation are recognized in profit or loss, except for those arising from non-monetary items for which changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case the exchange differences are also recognized in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the transaction date and are not subsequently retranslated.
(V) Inventory
Inventories include raw materials, finished goods, and work in progress. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The
- 18 -
comparison between cost and net realizable value is performed on an item-by-item basis, except for items of the same category. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventory cost is determined using the weighted-average method. During the period, inventories are recorded at standard cost and adjusted at the end of the reporting period to approximate the cost calculated under the weighted-average method.
(VI) Investment in Subsidiaries
The Company accounts for investments in subsidiaries using the equity method.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost. After the acquisition date, the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to reflect the Company's share of the subsidiary's profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as well as the distribution of earnings. In addition, the Company recognizes its share of changes in the subsidiary's other equity on a proportionate basis.
Changes in the ownership interests of a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid or received and the carrying amount of the investment is recognized directly in equity.
When the Company's share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary (including the carrying amount of the investment accounted for under the equity method and any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company's net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues to recognize losses in proportion to its ownership interest.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of a business-acquired subsidiary on the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill. This goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Conversely, if the Company's share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary exceeds the cost of acquisition, the excess is recognized as a gain in the current period.
For impairment assessment, the Company considers the cash-generating unit as a whole and compares its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount subsequently increases, the reversal of the impairment loss is recognized as a gain, provided that the carrying amount after reversal does not
- 19 -
exceed the depreciated carrying amount had no impairment loss been recognized. However, impairment losses related to goodwill are not reversed in subsequent periods.
(VII) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, with each significant component being depreciated separately. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values, and depreciation methods at the end of each financial year, and the effects of any changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively.
When property, plant and equipment are derecognized, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(VIII) Intangible assets
- Separate Acquisition
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, they are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods at the end of each financial year, and the effects of any changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are presented at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
- Internally Generated – Research and Development Expenditures
Expenditures on research activities are recognized as expenses when incurred.
- Derecognition
Upon derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(IX) Impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, property, plant and equipment
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, or intangible assets
- 20 -
may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be estimated, the Company determines the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. Shared assets are allocated to individual CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis.
For intangible assets that are not yet available for use, impairment testing is performed at least annually or whenever there is an indication of impairment.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or CGU is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
For inventories, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets recognized in connection with customer contracts, impairment is first recognized according to the impairment policies for inventories and non-financial assets described above. Subsequently, if the carrying amount of contract cost-related assets exceeds the remaining amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the related goods or services less the directly related costs, the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. The remaining carrying amount of the contract cost-related assets is then included in the related CGU to assess for impairment at the CGU level.
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to its revised recoverable amount. However, the increased carrying amount shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years, after adjusting for amortization or depreciation. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
(X) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Upon initial recognition, financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or
- 21 -
issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities measured at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
1. Financial Assets
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for on the trade date.
(1) Measurement Categories
The Company classifies its financial assets into the following categories: Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); financial assets measured at amortized cost; and equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
A. Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets classified as FVTPL are those that are mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss. These include equity investments not designated as measured at FVOCI, and debt instruments that do not meet the criteria for classification as measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value. Dividends and interest income are recognized in “Other income” and “Interest income,” respectively. Gains or losses arising from subsequent remeasurement are recognized in “Other gains and losses.” (Please refer to Notes 28 for the fair value determination method.)
B. Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost
Financial assets are classified as measured at amortized cost if they meet both of the following conditions:
- a. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- b. The contractual terms 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, trade receivables measured at amortized cost, and refundable deposits, etc.) are subsequently measured at amortized cost
- 22 -
using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss. Foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
Credit-impaired financial assets are those where the issuer or debtor is in significant financial difficulty, is in default, is highly likely to file for bankruptcy or financial restructuring, or where an active market for the financial asset has disappeared due to financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These are held to meet short-term cash commitments.
C. Equity Investments Measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
At initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to classify investments in equity instruments (that are not held for trading and not contingent consideration recognized in a business combination) as measured at FVOCI.
These investments are measured at fair value, and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. Upon disposal, the cumulative gain or loss is transferred directly to retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividends from such investments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive payment is established, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
(2) Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses impairment losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost (including trade receivables) based on expected credit losses at each balance sheet date.
- 23 -
For trade receivables, the loss allowance is recognized based on lifetime expected credit losses. For other financial assets, the Company first assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If not, a loss allowance is recognized based on 12-month expected credit losses. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk, a loss allowance is recognized based on lifetime expected credit losses.
Expected credit losses represent the weighted average of credit losses, with the probability of default as the weight. The 12-month expected credit loss is the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Lifetime expected credit losses are those that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
Impairment losses on all financial assets are recognized through an allowance account to reduce the carrying amount of the asset.
(3) Derecognition of Financial Assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset is transferred and the transfer qualifies for derecognition by transferring substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.
When an entire financial asset measured at amortized cost is derecognized, the difference between its carrying amount and the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss. When an equity investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss is transferred directly to retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
- Equity Instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issuance costs.
When the Company reacquires its own equity instruments, such instruments are recognized and deducted from equity. The carrying amount of reacquired shares is calculated using the weighted-average cost method by type
- 24 -
of equity instrument. Purchases, sales, issuance, or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments are not recognized in profit or loss.
3. Financial Liabilities
(1) Subsequent Measurement
The Company measures its financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
(2) Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
When a financial liability is derecognized, the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(XI) Revenue Recognition
The Company identifies performance obligations under customer contracts, allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation, and recognizes revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Any advance payments received for the sale of goods are recognized as contract liabilities until the Company fulfills its performance obligations.
For contracts where there is a time interval of less than one year between the transfer of goods or services and receipt of consideration, the transaction price is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component.
1. Revenue from Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods arises from sales of integrated circuit (IC) products. Revenue and accounts receivable are recognized at the point in time when the IC products are shipped or delivered to the customer's designated location, as the customer then obtains the right to use the goods at an agreed price, assumes primary responsibility for resale, and bears the risk of obsolescence.
In the case of consigned processing, ownership and control of the processed products do not transfer to the Company; thus, revenue is not recognized upon receipt of such materials.
2. Revenue from Design Services
Revenue from design services is derived from providing customers with integrated circuit intellectual property (IP) design services. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the services or IC IP to the customer.
- 25 -
(XII) Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract.
- As a Lessor
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Company subleases a right-of-use asset, the classification of the sublease is based on the right-of-use asset, not the underlying asset. However, if the head lease is a short-term lease for which the Company applies the recognition exemption, the sublease is classified as an operating lease.
For operating leases, lease payments received, net of lease incentives, are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any initial direct costs incurred in obtaining the operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- As a Lessee
Except for leases of low-value underlying assets and short-term leases (where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term), the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the lease commencement date.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which includes the initial amount of the lease liability. Subsequently, it is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of the lease term.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments (including fixed payments). If the interest rate implicit in the lease can be readily determined, that rate is used to discount the lease payments; otherwise, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate.
- 26 -
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, and interest expense is allocated over the lease term. If a change in the lease term results in a change in future lease payments, the Company remeasures the lease liability and adjusts the corresponding right-of-use asset. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero, any remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.
(XIII) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets, until substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are complete.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings made prior to the expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(XIV) Government Grants
Government grants are recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and that the grant will be received.
Government grants related to income are recognized in other income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the related costs that the grants are intended to compensate are recognized as expenses by the Company.
If the government grant is intended to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to provide immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs, the grant is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it becomes receivable.
(XV) Employee Benefits
- Short-term Employee Benefits
Liabilities for short-term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognized as the expected amount to be paid in exchange for employee services.
- 27 -
-
28 -
-
Post-employment Benefits
Contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are recognized as expenses when the employees have rendered the related service.
For defined benefit retirement plans, the defined benefit cost (including service cost, net interest, and remeasurement) is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefit expenses when incurred or when the plan is amended or curtailed. Remeasurements (including actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding interest) are recognized in other comprehensive income when they occur and are included in retained earnings; they are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
The net defined benefit liability (asset) is the deficit (surplus) of contributions in the defined benefit plan. The net defined benefit asset is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions.
(XVI) Share-based Payment Arrangements
Employee Stock Options / Restricted Stock Awards Granted to Employees
The cost of employee stock options or restricted stock awards is measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date and the best estimate of the number of awards expected to vest. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus – employee stock options / other equity (unearned employee compensation). If the awards vest immediately on the grant date, the full expense is recognized on that date.
When the Company issues restricted stock awards, other equity (unearned employee compensation) is recognized on the grant date with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus – restricted stock awards. In the case of paid issuances where employees are required to return the payment upon resignation, a corresponding payable is recognized.
At each balance sheet date, the Company revises its estimate of the number of employee stock options or restricted stock awards expected to vest. Any change in the estimate is recognized in profit or loss so that the cumulative expense reflects the
revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus – employee stock options / capital surplus – restricted stock awards.
(XVII) Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current income tax and deferred income tax.
- Current Income Tax
The Company calculates current income tax payable (recoverable) based on taxable income (loss) determined in accordance with the tax laws of the respective jurisdictions in which it operates.
Additional income tax on undistributed earnings, as required by the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China, is recognized in the year when the shareholders' resolution regarding earnings distribution is passed.
Adjustments to current income tax for prior years are included in current income tax expense for the period.
- Deferred Income Tax
Deferred income tax is calculated based on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their tax bases used in calculating taxable income.
Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which deductible temporary differences, tax loss carryforwards, and tax credits such as research and development expenditures can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Previously unrecognized deferred income tax assets are also reviewed at each balance sheet date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement reflects the tax
- 29 -
consequences expected from the manner in which the Company recovers or settles the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.
- Current and Deferred Income Tax
Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that they relate to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
- Major Sources of Uncertainty in Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions
When the company adopts accounting policies, the management must make relevant judgments, estimates, and assumptions regarding relevant information that is difficult to obtain from other sources based on its historical experience and other significant factors. The actual results may differ from the estimates.
When developing principal accounting estimates, the company will include possible impacts into the considerations of relevant major estimates such as cash flow estimation, growth rate, discount rate, and profitability, and the management will continually review the accounting estimates and basic assumptions.
Major Sources of Estimation and Assumption Uncertainty
Inventory Impairment
The net realizable value of inventories is estimated as the expected selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. These estimates are based on current market conditions and historical sales experience of similar products. Changes in market conditions may have a significant impact on the outcome of these estimates.

The Company invested in the aforesaid companies' ordinary shares per its medium- and long-term strategic purposes, and expects to profit from long-term investments. The management of the Company believes that the inclusion of short-term fluctuation in fair value of such investments into profit or loss does not accord with the aforesaid long-term investment planning. Therefore, the Company has chosen to designate such investments as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The average credit extension period of selling of products provided by the Company lasts for 30-90 days through monthly settlement, during which no interest is calculated for the accounts receivable. The Company continually supervises credit risk exposure and counterparties' credit ratings. To mitigate the credit risk, the management of the Company has assigned a dedicated team to determine the limit of credit, approve credit extension, and perform other monitoring procedures to ensure that proper actions have been taken to recover the overdue receivables. Additionally, the Company rechecks the recoverable amount of receivables one by one on the balance sheet to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have already been withdrawn for unrecoverable receivables. Based on the foregoing, the management of the Company believes that the credit risk of the Company has already significantly decreased.
The Company recognizes allowance for losses on receivables according to the expected credit loss in the survival period which is calculated by using a readiness matrix in consideration of the customers' previous default records and present financial position and industrial economic situation as well as GDP forecast and industrial outlook. Since the historical experience of the Company regarding credit loss indicated that the loss types of different customer groups didn't differ significantly, the readiness matrix hasn't been used to further distinguish customer groups, and the number of overdue days of accounts receivable has been adopted to determine the expected credit loss rate.
If evidence indicates that a counterparty faces serious financial difficulties, and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the recoverable amount, the Company will charge against relevant accounts receivable, but will continue the recourse activity. Amount recovered from recourse will be recognised as profit or loss.
The allowance for losses on receivables as measured by the Company per the readiness matrix is as follows:
December 31, 2025
| Not overdue | Overdue by 1~60 days | Overdue by 61~90 days | Overdue by 91~120 days | Overdue by more than 120 days | Total | |

- Post-employment benefit plans
(1) Defined Contribution Plan
The retirement system under the Labor Pension Act applicable to the company is a government-managed defined contribution plan. Under this plan, the Company contributes 6% of each employee's monthly salary to the employee's individual pension account with the Bureau of Labor Insurance.
(2) Defined Benefit Plan
As described in Note 1 regarding the business spin-off, on December 4, 2009, Sunplus MMedia Inc. transferred the employees of its DSC (Digital Still Camera) Product Division to the company, which assumed all seniority, retirement terms, and related rights and obligations of these employees.
The Company's retirement plan under the ROC Labor Standards Act is classified as a government-managed defined benefit retirement plan. Retirement benefits are calculated based on years of service and the average salary for the six months prior to the approved retirement date. The Company contributes 2% of the total monthly salaries to a retirement fund, which is deposited in a special account with the Bank of Taiwan under the name of the Supervisory Committee for Labor Retirement Reserve. Before the end of each year, if the estimated balance in the account is insufficient to pay for the retirement of employees expected to qualify in the following year, the Company is required to make a one-time contribution for the shortfall by the end of March of the next year. The fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, and the Company has no right to influence the investment strategy.
The amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet in respect of the defined benefit plan are as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Present value of defined benefit obligations | $ 25,240 | $ 27,167 |

The company is exposed to the following risks under the defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act:
-
Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor manages the Labor Pension Fund through self-management and outsourced operations, investing in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, as well as bank deposits. However, the return on the Company's allocated portion of plan assets is based on an interest rate not lower than the local two-year time deposit rate.
-
Interest rate risk: A decrease in government bond interest rates will increase the present value of defined benefit obligations. However, the returns on debt investments in plan assets may also increase, partially offsetting the effect on the net defined benefit liability.
-
Salary risk: The calculation of the present value of defined benefit obligations considers the future salaries of plan members. Therefore, an increase in employee salaries will result in an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligations.
The present value of the Company's defined benefit obligations is actuarially determined by a qualified actuary. The significant assumptions used on the measurement date are as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 1.35% | 1.60% |
| Expected rate of salary increases | 4.50% | 4.50% |
| Employee turnover rate | 0%~29% | 0%~29% |
The effect on the present value of defined benefit obligations resulting from reasonably possible changes to each significant actuarial assumption, assuming all other assumptions remain constant, is as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | ||
| Increase by 0.25% | ($ 607) | ($ 683) |
| Decrease by 0.25% | $ 627 | $ 708 |
| Expected rate of salary increases | ||
| Increase by 1.00% | $ 2,539 | $ 2,875 |
| Decrease by 1.00% | ($ 2,278) | ($ 2,560) |
As actuarial assumptions may be interrelated, it is unlikely that changes would occur in isolation. Therefore, the sensitivity analysis presented above may not reflect the actual change in the present value of defined benefit obligations.
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Expected contributions to the plan within the next year | $ 678 | $ 685 |
| Weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation | 10.1 years | 10.9 years |

(3) Retained earnings and dividend policy
In accordance with the provisions of the surplus distribution policy stipulated in the Articles of Association of the company, if the company makes a surplus after final accounting of revenue and expenditure, it shall pay business income tax and make up the losses in the previous year first, and then set aside 10% of the remaining surplus as statutory surplus reserve. However, it does not apply to the situation in which the statutory surplus reserve already reaches the total capital. Then, the Company may set aside or reserve special surplus reserve according to laws and regulations, or the competent authority's provisions. The remaining surplus together with the accumulated undistributed surplus in the previous period will be used for shareholders' dividends. The Board of Directors will draft a distribution proposal and submit it to the Shareholders' Meeting for resolution before distribution. However, the ratio of surplus provided for distribution and the ratio of shareholders' cash dividends shall be adjusted with relevant resolution made by the Shareholders' Meeting in consideration of the actual profits and capital status in the current year. The total amount of shareholders' dividends distributed using surplus shall not be lower than 10% of the distributable surplus in current year, while that of cash dividends shall not be lower than 10% of the total amount of shareholders' dividends distributable. For the policy stipulated in the Articles of Association of the company regarding distribution of employee compensation and director compensation, please refer to Employee compensation and director compensation in Note 22 (7).
The statutory surplus reserve shall be set aside until its balance reaches the total amount of paid-in share capital of the Company. The statutory surplus reserve may be used to compensate for losses. When the Company does not have any losses, the
part of the statutory surplus reserve beyond the total amount of the paid-in share capital may be used to enlarge the share capital, or be distributed in cash.

If the company chooses to pay employee compensation in stock or cash, it shall be assumed that the employee compensation is paid in stock upon calculation of diluted earnings per share, and the weighted average number of outstanding shares shall be added when this potential ordinary share has a dilutive effect to calculate the diluted earnings per share. When the diluted earnings per share is calculated before a resolution is made on the number of shares issued for employee compensation in the next year, the dilutive effect of such potential ordinary shares will be continuously considered.
The restricted ordinary shares and Employee stock options of the company for the years 2025 and 2024 had anti-dilutive effects and were therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

(3) Purpose and policy of financial risk management
The Company's primary financial instruments include equity investments, beneficiary certificates of investment funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings, and lease liabilities. The Company's financial management department
provides services to all business units and centrally coordinates operations in domestic and international financial markets. It monitors and manages financial risks related to the Company's operations through internal risk reports that analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risk. These risks include market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.
- Market risks
The main financial risks caused by the operating activities of the Company, including risk of change in foreign currency exchange rate (Refer to (1)) below for foreign exchange risk, (Refer to (2)) below for interest rate risk, and (Refer to (3)) below for other price risk.). The Company's exposure to market risks of financial instruments and approaches adopted to manage and measure risk exposure haven't changed.
(1) Exchange rate risk
Since some cash inflows and outflows of the Company were implemented in foreign currencies, the effect of natural hedging was realized; the Company management of exchange rate risk aims to avoid risks instead of profiting.
The management strategy of exchange rate risk is to regularly review the net positions of assets and liabilities of various currencies, and conduct risk management for these net positions.
For the carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities valuated by the Company on the balance sheet date using non-functional currency, please refer to Notes 32.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly affected by the fluctuation of exchange rate against USD.
The sensitivity analysis of the Company is detailed in the table below given that the exchange rate of NTD (functional currency) against USD is increased or decreased by NT$ 1. The sensitivity analysis intends to adjust outstanding foreign currency monetary items regarding its translated amounts as of year-end with change in exchange rate by NT$ 1. The scope of sensitivity analysis includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, guarantee deposits received, and
- 62 -
other current liabilities. The negative number in the table below indicates the amount of loss before tax increased when NTD is appreciated by NT$ 1 against USD; when NTD is depreciated by NT$ 1 against USD, the impact on the loss before tax will be expressed as the positive number of the same amount.
| Effect of USD | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Profit or loss | ($ 13,821) | ($ 3,985) |
(2) Interest rate risk
Since the individuals in the Company simultaneously hold assets and liabilities with fixed and floating interest rates, exposure to interest rate risk is thus generated. The Company manages its interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate portfolio of fixed and floating interest rates. The Company regularly evaluates the risk hedging activities and makes them align with the view on interest rate and the established risk preference, to ensure that hedging strategies complying with the cost effectiveness most are adopted.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company exposed to interest rate risk on the balance sheet date are as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Interest rate risk with fair value | ||
| -Financial assets | $841,406 | $937,077 |
| -Financial liabilities | 90,201 | 8,011 |
| Interest rate risk with cash flow | ||
| -Financial assets | 139,106 | 233,478 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below is determined according to the exposure of non-derivative instruments to interest rate risk on the balance sheet date. For assets with floating rate liabilities, the analysis method adopted is to assume that the amount of outstanding assets on the balance sheet date is outstanding during the reporting period. The rate of change used to report interest rate to the main management of the Company is
0.125% of increased or decreased interest rate, which also represents the management’s evaluation of the scope of reasonably possible changes of interest rate.
If the interest rate was increased/decreased by 0.125%, and all other variables remained unchanged, the before-tax net loss of the Company from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024 would be increased/decreased by NT$ 174,000 and NT$ 292,000 respectively.
(3) Other Price Risk
The Company is primarily exposed to equity price risk arising from investments in equity securities.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to equity price risk at the balance sheet date.
If equity prices had increased/decreased by 1%, profit or loss before tax for the years ended 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by NT$466 thousand and NT$236 thousand, respectively, as a result of changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, other comprehensive income before tax would have increased/decreased by NT$409 thousand and NT$469 thousand, respectively, as a result of changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
- Credit risk
Credit risk refers to a risk of financial losses caused to the Company due to the counterparties’ delay in performing their contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the exposure of the Company to the maximum credit risk regarding the financial losses possibly resulting from the counterparties’ failure to perform their obligations is primarily originated from the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the balance sheet.
To mitigate the credit risk, the management of the Company has assigned a dedicated team to determine the limit of credit, approve credit extension, and perform other monitoring procedures to ensure that proper actions have been taken to recover the overdue receivables. Additionally, the Company rechecks the recoverable amount of receivables one by one on the balance sheet to
- 64 -
ensure that appropriate impairment losses have already been withdrawn for unrecoverable receivables. Based on the foregoing, the management of the Company believes that the credit risk of the Company has already significantly decreased.
Besides, since the counterparties of the working capital of the Company are most financial institutions and corporate organizations with good credit ratings, this credit risk is limited.
The credit risk of the Company mainly focuses on top-3 customers. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total amount of accounts receivable from the aforesaid customers accounted for 17% and 31% respectively.
3. Liquidity risk
The Company supports its corporate operation and mitigates the influence of fluctuation of cash flows by managing and maintaining enough positions of cash and cash equivalents.
For the limit of short-term bank financing not yet used by the Company of please refer to notes for financing amount in (2) below.
