Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC.:
Audit opinions
We have audited the accompanying stand-alone balance sheet of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related stand-alone comprehensive income statements, stand-alone statement of changes in equity, stand-alone cash flow statements, and notes to the stand-alone financial statements (including significant accounting policies) for the years then ended.
In our opinion, the stand-alone financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the stand-alone financial position of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its stand-alone financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the requirements of Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for opinions
We conclude our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities of auditors for the audit of the stand-alone financial statements. We are independent of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 2024 stand-alone financial statements of ICHIA
- 3 -
TECHNOLOGIES INC. These matters were addressed in the content of our audit of the stand-alone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide separate opinions on those matters.
Key audit matters of the 2024 stand-alone financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. were as follows:
Authenticity of revenues recognized from sales to specific customers
ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. manufactures a wide range of flexible printed circuit boards and mechanism integrated components (MVI) for the automotive and consumer electronics markets. The sales revenue is a major indicator for the management to evaluate the sales performance. Since the sales revenue from major customers occupies a substantial percentage of the overall sales revenues, the authenticity of the sales revenues recognized from sales to major customers with more significant changes in the increase and proportion of the sales revenue is included as key audit matters in this year’s stand-alone financial statements.
We have also performed the following major audit procedures with respect to the above key audit matters:
-
Understand and test the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system related to revenue recognition.
-
Conduct random inspection of the sales revenue from major customers and check relevant certificates and documents to make sure of the authenticity of the recognition.
-
Examine whether there are any abnormalities in the collection after the credit period granted to specific customers.
Responsibilities of management and those in charge with governance of the stand-alone financial statements
The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the stand-alone financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as the management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the stand-alone financial statements to be free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the stand-alone financial statements, the management is also responsible for assessing the ability of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to a going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. Unless the management either intends to liquidate ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. or to cease operations, or has no other realistic alternative but to do so.
- 4 -
Those in charge of governance (including the Auditing Committee) are responsible for overseeing the reporting process of the financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the stand-alone financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the stand-alone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with accounting standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material, individually or in aggregate, if they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these stand-alone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the stand-alone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; design, and perform countermeasures for assessed risks; and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of audit opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control effective in ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the management, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. 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 stand-alone financial statements or, if such disclosure is inappropriate, 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 ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. to cease as a going concern.
-
5 -
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the stand-alone financial statements, including related notes, and whether the stand-alone 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 or the entities or business activities of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. to express an opinion on the stand-alone financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit).
We also provide those in charge of governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to affect on our independence, and other matters (including related protective measures).
From the matters communicated with those in charge of governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2024 stand-alone financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements"
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements." The main changes in this standard include:
-
15 -
-
The income statement should categorize income and expense items into operating, investing, financing, income tax, and discontinued operations.
-
The income statement shall be reported as operating income, pre-tax income before financing, and the sum and total of profit and loss.
-
Provide guidelines to enhance aggregation and segmentation requirements: The Company must identify assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows arising from individual transactions or other events, and classify and aggregate them based on common characteristics, ensuring that each line item reported in the primary financial statements possesses at least one similar characteristic. Items that are dissimilar from other items should be disaggregated. The Company only labels such items as "other" when no more informative label can be found.
-
Increase the disclosure of performance measures defined by management: When the Company engages in public communication outside of financial statements, and when communicating perspective on a specific aspect of the Company’s overall financial performance to users of the financial statements, it should disclose information about performance measures defined by management in a single note to the financial statements. This includes a description of the measure, how it is calculated, a reconciliation with subtotals or totals specified by IFRS accounting standards, and the impact of related reconciliation items on income tax and non-controlling interests.
The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of the amendment to other IFRSs on the financial positions and performance of the Company to the date the parent company only financial statements are approved and released, and will make appropriate disclosure after the evaluation.
IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(i) Compliance Statement
The stand-alone financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers.
- (ii) Basis of preparation
The stand-alone financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
- 16 -
The evaluation of fair value could be classified into Level 1 to Level 3 by the observable intensity and importance of the related input value:
-
Level 1 input value: refers to the quotation of the same asset or liability in an active market as of the evaluation date (before adjustment).
-
Level 2 input value: refers to the direct (the price) or indirect (inference of price) observable input value of asset or liability further to the quotation of Level 1.
-
Level 3 input value: the unobservable input value of asset or liability.
The Company when preparing the stand-alone financial statements processes the investment in subsidiaries and associates using the equity method. In order to make the same the current profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity in the stand-alone financial statements as the current year’s profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to the owners of the Company in the consolidated financial statements, certain accounting differences between the stand-alone basis and consolidated basis are adjusted for “investments accounted for using the equity method,” “profit or loss share of subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method”, “other comprehensive income share of subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method” and related equity items.
-
(iii) Standards in differentiating current and noncurrent assets and liabilities Current assets include:
-
Assets held primarily for trading purposes;
-
Assets expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date; and
-
Cash and cash equivalents (excluding those restricted from being exchanged or settled more than 12 months after the balance sheet date).
Current liabilities include:
-
Liabilities held primarily for trading purposes;
-
Liabilities due for settlement within 12 months after the balance sheet date, and
-
Liabilities for which there is no substantive right to defer settlement beyond the balance sheet date to at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Those that are not current assets or liabilities above are classified as noncurrent assets or liabilities.
-
(iv) Foreign currency
-
17 -
For the transactions conducted in a currency other than the business entity’s functional currency (foreign currency), it is to be translated to the functional currency in accordance with the exchange rate on the transaction date when preparing financial statements.
Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate on each balance sheet date. The exchange differences arising from the settlement of monetary items or translating monetary items are recognized in the current profit or loss, except for the following.
When a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future (and therefore forms part of the net investment in the foreign operation), the exchange difference is recognized initially in other comprehensive income and is reclassified from equity to profit or loss upon disposal of the net investment. The foreign non-currency items measured at fair value are translated in accordance with the exchange rate on the fair value determination date and the exchange difference is booked as profit or loss in the period. However, for the changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, the exchange difference is recorded in other comprehensive income.
The foreign non-currency items measured at historical cost are translated in accordance with the exchange rate on the transaction date without the need for a translation again.
Upon preparation of the stand-alone financial reports, the assets and liabilities of overseas operating institutions (including the subsidiaries and affiliates in the countries of business operation or those using currencies different from the Company’s) were converted to NTD based on the exchange rate quoted on every balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period and the exchange differences are booked in other comprehensive income.
If the Company disposes of its entire equity interest in a foreign operation, or disposes of part of its equity interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation and loses control, or the retained equity interest after disposing of a joint agreement of a foreign operation or an affiliate is a financial asset and is accounted for as a financial instrument., all cumulative translation differences related to the foreign operation are reclassified to profit or loss.
- 18 -
If the partial disposal of a foreign operating subsidiary does not result in a loss of control, the accumulated exchange differences are included in equity transactions on a pro rata basis, but are not recognized in profit or loss. In the case of any other partial disposal of foreign operations, the cumulative exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss in proportion to the disposal.
(v) Inventories
Inventories include raw materials, semi-finished goods, finished goods, work in process and in-transit. Inventories are valued in accordance with the lower of cost or net cash value. When comparing cost and net cash value, except for the homogeneous inventories, it is based on the itemized lower of cost or net cash value. Net realizable value refers to the estimated sale price under normal circumstances net of the estimated cost needed to complete the project and the estimated expenses needed to complete the sale. Inventories are valued at standard costs before book closing and adjusted upon book closing to approximate cost calculated on a weighted-average basis.
(vi)Investments in subsidiaries
The Company adopts the equity method for investment in subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Company has control.
Under the equity method, investments in subsidiaries are originally recognized at cost; the book value after the acquisition date fluctuates along with the distribution of profit or loss from the subsidiaries and other comprehensive income by the Company. Additionally, the change in the interests the Company holds in subsidiaries is recognized pro rata to the shareholding percentages.
When a change in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary does not result in a loss of control, it is treated as an equity transaction. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received 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 subsidiary under the equity method and other long-term interests that are in substance a component of the Company’s net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues to recognize losses in proportion to its equity in the subsidiary.
- 19 -
The excess of the acquisition cost over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries at the acquisition date is recorded as goodwill, which is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized; the excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries at the acquisition date over the acquisition cost is recorded as gain or loss for the period. When a subsidiary that does not constitute a business is acquired, the cost of acquisition is appropriately allocated to the identifiable assets acquired (including intangible assets) and the share of liabilities assumed, and no goodwill or current profit is generated.
The Company assesses impairment based on the cash-generating units as a whole in the financial statements and compares their recoverable amounts with their book values. If the amount of recoverable assets increases in the future, the reversal of impairment shall be recognized as income. The book value of the reversal of impaired assets shall not exceed the book value before recognition for impairment net of amortization. Impairment losses attributable to goodwill must not be reversed in subsequent periods.
When control over a subsidiary is lost, the Company measures its remaining investment in the subsidiary at fair value at the date of loss of control. The difference between the fair value of the remaining investment and the carrying amount of the investment at the date of loss of control, if any, is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In addition, all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary are accounted for on the same basis as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
Unrealized gains or losses on downstream transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated in the stand-alone financial statements. Gains or losses from upstream and side-stream transactions with subsidiaries are recognized in the stand-alone financial statements only to the extent that they are not related to the Company’s equity interest in the subsidiary.
(vii) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment shall be recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.
Except for land owned by the Company, which is not depreciated, property, plant and equipment are depreciated separately over their useful lives on a straight-line basis for each significant component. The Company reviews the
- 20 -
estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods at least at the end of each year and defers the effect of changes in applicable accounting estimates.
In removing property, plant, and equipment from book, the difference between the net proceeds of disposition and the book value shall be recognized as profit or loss for the period.
(viii) Investment property
An investment property is a property held for earning rent income or for capital appreciation, or both. The investment property includes land held without a definite purpose of use.
The investment property owned by the Company is initially measured based on the cost (including transaction cost) and subsequently measured based on the cost net of accumulated depreciations and accumulated impairment losses.
The investment property is depreciated on the straight line basis.
In removing investment property from the book, the difference between the net proceeds of disposition and the book value shall be recognized as profit or loss.
(ix) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment property, intangible assets and assets related to contract costs.
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and assets related to contract costs may have been impaired If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be estimated, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Shared assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount (net of amortization or depreciation) that would have been determined if the impairment loss
- 21 -
had not been recognized in prior years for that asset or cash-generating unit. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
(x) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the stand-alone balance sheets when the Company becomes a party to the contracts of such instruments.
For the initial recognition of the financial assets and financial liabilities, if the financial assets or financial liabilities are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, it is measured at fair value plus transaction cost that is directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss is immediately recognized in profit or loss.
- Financial assets
The customary transaction of financial assets is recognized and derecognized in accordance with the trade date accounting.
- (1). Type of measurement
The types of financial assets held by the Company are financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and at amortized cost as well as investment in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
- A. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets that are mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss and those designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include investments in equity instruments not designated by the Company as being measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and investments in debt instruments not qualified for classification as being measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, which is determined as described in Note 28. B. Financial assets at amortized cost
- 22 -
The Company’s financial assets, if meeting both of the following conditions, are classified as financial assets at amortized cost:
-
a. Financial assets held under a particular mode of operation and the purpose of holding is for the collection of contractual cash flows; and
-
b. The terms of the contracts give rise to cash flows at specified dates that are solely for the payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.
Financial assets (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable measured at amortized cost) after initial recognition, are measured at their total carrying amount determined using the effective interest method, less amortized cost of any impairment loss, with any foreign currency exchange gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the total carrying amount of the financial assets, except for the following two cases:
-
a. Interest income on financial assets that are credit-impaired upon acquisition or creation is calculated using the credit-adjusted effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets.
-
b. Interest income on financial assets that are not credit-impaired upon acquisition or creation but become credit-impaired subsequently is calculated using the effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets from the next reporting period after the impairment.
Cash equivalents include time deposits that are highly liquid, readily convertible into fixed amount of cash with minimal risk of changes in value within 3 months from the acquisition date and are used to meet short-term cash commitments.
- c. Investment in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
At initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable selection to measure the investment in equity instruments held not for
- 23 -
trading and not recognized by the acquirer in a business merger or with consideration at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Investment in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. For disposal of the investment, any cumulative profits or losses are directly transferred to retained earnings and not reclassified as profit or loss.
After the Company’s right to receive dividends is determined, the dividends of investment in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss except that such dividends apparently represent a partial return of the investment cost.
(2). Impairment of financial assets and contract assets
The Company assesses impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including accounts receivable) based on expected credit loss on each balance sheet date.
An allowance for losses is recognized for accounts receivable based on the expected credit loss over the duration. Other financial assets shall be evaluated for any significant increase of risk from the day of initial recognition. If none is found, recognize for provision for anticipated credit loss along a period of 12 months. If it is, recognize for provision of anticipated credit risk within the lifetime of the assets.
Anticipated credit loss is the weighted average loss of credit on the basis of the weight of the risk of default. Anticipated credit loss in a period of 12 months means the expected loss of credit from the financial instruments within 12 months due to default. Anticipated credit loss with the lifetime of the financial instruments means the expected loss of credit from the financial instruments within the lifetime of these financial instruments.
All impairment losses on financial assets are accounted for by reducing the carrying amount through an allowance account. (3). The derecognition of financial assets
- 24 -
The Company has financial assets derecognized only when the contractual rights from the cash flows of a financial asset become invalid or when the financial assets are transferred, and almost all the risks and rewards of the asset ownership have been transferred to other enterprises.
When a particular entry of financial assets measured at amortized cost is removed, the difference between its book value and consideration shall be recognized as profit or loss.
2. Financial liabilities
- (1). Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for the following.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprise financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
- (2). Derecognition of financial liabilities
When derecognizing financial liabilities, the difference between the book amount and the consideration paid (including any transferred non-cash assets or assumed liabilities) is recognized as profit or loss. 3. Derivatives
The derivatives entered into by the Company include forward exchange contracts, which are used to manage the Company’s exchange rate risk.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value when the derivative contracts are entered into and subsequently remeasured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses arising from subsequent measurements are recognized directly in profit or loss, except for derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments, for which the point of recognition in profit or loss will depend on the nature of the hedging. When the fair value of the derivatives is positive, it is classified as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, it is classified as a financial liability.
For derivatives embedded in asset master contracts within the scope of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, the classification of financial assets shall be determined based on the overall contract. A derivative is considered to be a separate derivative if it is embedded in an asset master contract that is not
- 25 -
within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g., embedded in a master contract of a financial liability) and the embedded derivative meets the definition of a derivative, the risks and characteristics of which are not closely related to those of the master contract and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
- (xi) Revenue recognition
The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation after the performance obligation is identified in the customer contract and recognizes revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Merchandise sales revenues
Merchandise sales revenues are derived from sales of electronic parts and components. The Company recognizes revenues and accounts receivable at the point when the products arrive at the customer’s designated location because the customer has the right to determine resale prices and use the products and has the primary responsibility for re-selling the products and bears the risk of obsolescence.
When materials are supplied to subcontractors for processing, the control and the ownership of the processed products have not been transferred, so revenues are not recognized for the materials supplied.
(xii)
Lease
The Company assesses whether a contract is (or contains) a lease at the contract inception date.
- The Company is the lessor
A lease is classified as a capital lease when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
For an operating lease, the net lease payments of the lease incentives are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease periods. The original direct cost incurred in acquiring an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the subject asset and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period.
- The Company is the lessee
Except for the low-value leased assets entitled to exemption and lease payments for short-term leases recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis
- 26 -
over the lease period, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of other leases are recognized starting from the lease commencement date.
The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost (including the original measured amount of lease liability, the lease payment paid before the lease commencement date net of the lease incentives collected, the original direct costs, and the estimated cost of the recovered underlying assets), and then subsequently measured at the net cost of the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss; also, the remeasured amount of the lease liability is adjusted. Right-of-use assets are expressed separately in the stand-alone balance sheet.
The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period starting from the lease commencement date to the end of their useful life or the expiration of the lease period, whichever is sooner.
Lease liabilities are measured initially at the present value of lease payments (including fixed benefits). If the implied interest rate of the lease is readily determinable, the lease payments are discounted using that rate. If said lease implied interest rate is not easy to determine, the lease payment is discounted at the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of interest.
Subsequently, the lease liability is measured according to the effective interest method and the amortized cost; also, the interest expense is amortized over the lease period. If a change in the lease period results in a change in future lease payments, the Company remeasures the lease liability and adjusts the right-of-use asset accordingly. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are expressed separately in the stand-alone balance sheet.
(xiii) Cost of borrowing
Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquiring, building or producing assets that meet the requirements are part of the costs of such assets until the completion of all necessary activities have achieved their intended use or sale condition.
The income of a temporary investment with a specific loan that has not yet met the essential requirement of capital expenditure is deducted from the loan cost that meets the essential requirement of capitalization.
- 27 -
In addition to the above, all other loan costs are recognized as profit and loss upon occurring.
(xiv) Government subsidies
Government subsidies are recognized only when it is reasonably certain that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the government subsidies and that the subsidies will be received.
Government subsidies related to revenues are recognized in other income on a systematic basis over the period in which the related costs for which they are intended to compensate are recognized as expenses by the Company.
Government subsidies are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become collectible if they are intended to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to provide immediate financial support to the Company and have no future related costs.
-
(xv) Employee benefits
-
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities related to short-term employee benefits are measured at the non-discounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for employee services. 2. Post-employment benefits
Under the defined contribution pension plan, the pension amount appropriated during the service years of the employees is recognized as an expense.
The defined benefit cost (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) of the defined benefit pension plan is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefit expense as incurred. Remeasurements (including actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets, net of interest) are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings as incurred and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
The net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the deficit (remaining) of the defined benefit pension plan appropriation. The net defined benefit asset may not exceed the present value of refunds of appropriations from the plan or reductions in future appropriations.
(xvi) Income tax
- 28 -
Income tax expense is the sum of the current income tax and deferred income
tax.
- Income tax for the period
Additional income tax on unappropriated earnings calculated in accordance with the Republic of China Income Tax Act is recognized in the year in which resolutions are made at the shareholder meeting.
The adjustment to prior years’ income tax payable is booked as current period’s income tax.
- Deferred tax
Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the tax bases used to compute taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which income tax credits can be utilized, such as deductions for temporary differences, loss carryforwards and investment tax credits.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures, except where the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences associated with such investments only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the temporary differences to be realized and to the extent that a reversal is expected in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient tax assets will be available to allow recovery of all or part of the asset, and part of the asset should be adjusted down. Deferred tax assets that are not recognized as such initially are reviewed on each balance sheet date and the carrying amount is increased to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available to recover all or part of the assets.
- 29 -
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized, which are based on tax rates and tax laws that have been legislated or substantively legislated on the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequence resulting from the book value of the assets or liabilities expected by the Company to be recovered or liquidated on the balance sheet date.
3. Current and deferred income tax
Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the profit or loss, except for the current and deferred income taxes related to the items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in the equity, which are respectively recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in the equity.
V. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimations, and Main Sources of Assumption Uncertainties
When adopting accounting policies, the Company’s management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that are based on historical experience and other factors that are not readily apparent from other sources Actual results may differ from estimates.
As consideration for the consideration for significant accounting estimates, the management will review the estimates and basic assumptions on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if they affect only that period. The revisions are recognized in the period of the revisions and future periods if they affect both current and future periods.

Accounts receivable
The average credit period of the Company’s merchandise sales is 150 days. In determining the collectability of accounts receivable, the Company considers any changes in the credit quality of the accounts receivable from the original credit grant date to the balance sheet date. To mitigate credit risk, the Company’s management has assigned a dedicated team to be responsible for credit limit determination, credit approval and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to collect overdue accounts receivable. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis at the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been recorded for uncollectible accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Company’s management believes that the Company’s credit risk has been significantly reduced.
An allowance for losses is recognized for accounts receivable by the Company based on the expected credit loss over the duration. Expected credit losses for the duration are calculated using an allowance matrix, which takes into account the customer’s past default history and current financial condition, the economic situation of the industry, as well as GDP forecasts and industry outlook. Since the Company’s credit loss history shows that there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups, therefore, instead of further differentiating the customer groups, the allowance matrix only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the number of days past due on accounts receivable.
If there is evidence that the counterparty is in serious financial difficulty and the Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, for example, if the counterparty is in liquidation or the debt is overdue for more than 365 days, the Company reclassifies the amount directly to overdue receivable and continues the collection activities, and the amount recovered is offset against the related overdue receivable.

The Company is exposed to the following risks as a result of the pension system under the “Labor Standards Act”:
-
Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor invests the labor pension fund in domestic and foreign equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits through its own management or entrusted third parties, but the amount allocated to the Consolidated Company’s plan assets is based on the income at a rate no less than the local bank’s 2-year time deposit rate.
-
Interest rate risk: A decrease in interest rates on government/corporate bonds will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation, but the return on debt investment in plan assets will also increase, which will have a partially offsetting effect on the net defined benefit obligation.
-
Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salary of the plan member. Therefore, increases in plan member’s salary will result in an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The present value of the Company’s defined benefit obligation was actuarially determined by a qualified actuary and the significant assumptions at the measurement date were as follows:

(iv) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s major financial instruments include investments in equity instruments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and notes payable. The risks associated with the operations of the above financial instruments include market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
- Market risk
The main financial risks to which the Company is exposed as a result of its operating activities are changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below) and changes in interest rates (see (2) below).
- (1). Exchange rate risk
The Company engages in foreign currency-denominated sales and purchase transactions, which expose the Company to exchange rate risk. The Company manages its exposure to exchange rate risk by using forward exchange contracts and options to the extent permitted by policy.
The carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies as of the balance sheet date are shown in Note 32.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company is primarily affected by fluctuations in the USD exchange rate.
The following table details the sensitivity analysis of the Company when the exchange rate of the NTD (functional currency) increases and decreases by 1% against each relevant foreign currency. 1% is the sensitivity percentage used for the Company’s internal reporting of exchange rate risk to key management and represents management’s
- 56 -
assessment of the reasonably possible range of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency monetary items and forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges, and adjusts their year-end translation by a 1% change in exchange rates. The negative amount for USD below represents the decrease in net profits before tax when NTD strengthens by 1% against USD, and the positive amount when NTD depreciates by 1% against USD.

(2). Interest rate risk
The Company’s bank deposits and borrowed funds carry both fixed and floating interest rates, resulting in interest rate risk.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk as of the balance sheet date were as follows:
| Fair value interest rate risk - Financial assets - Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk - Financial assets - Financial liabilities |
December 31, 2024 NT$424,022 950,000 561,112 899,801 |
December 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| NT$351,144 460,000 495,289 544,799 |
Sensitivity analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative instruments as of the balance sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet date is outstanding during the reporting period. The rate of change used in reporting interest rates internally to key management is a 0.25% basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, which also represents management’s assessment of the range of reasonably possible changes in interest rates.
- 57 -
If interest rates had increased/decreased by 0.25% basis points, with all other variables held constant, the Company’s net profits before tax would have decreased/increased by $847 thousand and $124 thousand for 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(3). Other price risk
The Company has equity price risk due to its investment in equity securities.
Sensitivity analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the equity price exposure at the balance sheet date.
If the equity price had increased/decreased by 10%, profits or losses before tax for 2024 and 2023 would have increased/decreased by $4,011 thousand and $4,006 thousand, respectively, due to the increase/decrease in fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
There was no significant change in the sensitivity of the Company’s investment in equity securities compared with the previous year.
- Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss due to default on contract obligations by the counterparties. As of the balance sheet date, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk of financial loss due to non-performance by counterparties and the provision of financial guarantees by the Company was mainly due to:
-
(1) The carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the stand-alone balance sheets.
-
(2) The maximum amount that the Company may be required to pay for the provision of financial guarantees, regardless of the likelihood of occurrence.
The Company’s primary potential credit risk arises from financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is deposited with various banks and financial institutions. The cash is held in time deposits with maturities of approximately 3 months, which have high liquidity and flexibility and enjoy high interest rates with near-zero risk. The Company controls its exposure to the credit risk of each financial
- 58 -
institution and believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are not subject to significant concentrations of credit risk.
The counterparties of the Company’s accounts receivable are customers in the electronics industry. In order to reduce the credit risk of accounts receivable, the Company’s management has assigned a dedicated team to establish credit management rules and regulations and to be responsible for credit limit determination, credit approval and other monitoring procedures for the credit management of accounts receivable.
In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis every month to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been recorded for uncollectible accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Company’s management believes that the Company’s credit risk is limited.
The Company’s credit risk is mainly concentrated in the Company’s top ten customers. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the percentage of total accounts receivable from the aforementioned customers was 84% and 87%, respectively.
- Liquidity risk
The Company manages and maintains sufficient balance of cash and cash equivalents to support the Group’s operations and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. The Company’s management monitors the use of bank financing facilities and ensures compliance with the terms and conditions of the borrowing agreements.
Bank borrowings are an important source of liquidity for the Company. See (2) below for a description of the Company’s unused financing facilities.
- (1) Liquidity and interest rate risk of non-derivative financial liabilities.
The analysis of the remaining contract maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared using the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities (including principal and estimated interest) based on the earliest possible date on which the Company could be required to make repayment. Therefore, bank borrowings that the Company may be required to repay immediately are shown in the earliest period below, without regard to the probability that the bank will enforce the right
- 59 -
immediately; the maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the contract repayment dates.
