Letter to Shareholders

In the face of new challenges during the post-pandemic era, and global inflation upward pressure driven by soaring energy and raw material prices, along with the persistent impact of geopolitical risks, Inventec's management team continues to adopt effective contingency strategies, monitor market trends closely and adjust synchronous response plans to ensure normal operations at all plants and protect the health and safety of all employees during the coronavirus pandemic. In the meantime, Inventec has posted record annual operating revenue through providing competitive and high-quality products to our customers. We would like to thank all shareholders for their long-term support and trust.

2022 Operating Results and Technology Development

In 2022, Inventec’s consolidated operating revenue reached NT$541.7 billion, an increase of 4.24% from 2021 (the consolidated operating revenue of NT$519.7 billion). Meanwhile, the consolidated net operating income reached NT$6.6 billion, an increase of 41.16% from 2021. However, since non-operating income and expenses were affected by the slowdown in the revitalization pace of idle assets as well as the increase in operating costs due to the supply chain disruption, the consolidated profit before tax was NT$7.1 billion, a decrease of 6.78% from 2021. As a result, the net profit after tax attributable to shareholders of the parent company was NT$6.1 billion, a decrease of 6.26% from the previous year. Consolidated earnings per share after tax was NT$1.71.

Although the demand for laptop computer products was affected by inventory adjustments of brand customers in the second half of 2022, Inventec's operating revenue from laptop computers only decreased slightly by 5% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the boost of development of new models and the growth in gaming laptop computers. Despite supply chain disruptions, the operating revenue from server products still increased by nearly 18% year-on-year thanks to strong demand growth of large data centers. Smart device products have recovered from the slide last year and contributed NT$35 billion in operating revenue, supported by new products.

In response to geopolitical risks, Inventec continues to expand its production capacity in Czech Republic in Europe and Mexico in the Americas, while the subsidiary Inventec Appliances Corp. is also expanding its deployment in Southeast Asia simultaneously to strengthen smart product manufacturing and meet customer needs.

In terms of new technology applications, Inventec, together with Intel and Microsoft, has launched 5G Next Lab to provide AI-integrated 5G connectivity solution built on world-class chips and industry-leading core network software, applicable to various smart scenarios such as smart factories, smart homes, smart healthcare and smart transportation to drive next-generation industrial innovation.

As for the development of emerging businesses, Inventec focuses on the application of in-vehicle products, the introduction of 5G-related integrated products, smart healthcare, cloud-based health management and precision medicine. At present, a number of products and solutions have been launched and successfully promoted into domestic and overseas markets.

Outstanding Achievements in Sustainable Development

Inventec has established the "Sustainability Committee" (hereinafter referred to as the Committee) and set up the "Sustainability Office" as a dedicated unit to assist the Committee in performing various ESG sustainability initiatives. The Committee has also set up six functional teams, including corporate governance, green innovation, sustainable environment, sustainable supply chain, risk management and social inclusion, to develop strategies and implement various projects. Through the specialized division of functional teams and cross-departmental cooperation, the Committee will lead all colleagues to work together for sustainable development and contribute to environmental protection, corporate governance, and social participation at all levels. The goal is to internalize the spirit of sustainability into the DNA of the Company, realize the value of innovation with modesty and practice, and set a new benchmark for sustainable enterprises.

Inventec has achieved outstanding results in promoting sustainable development. In view of the rapid changes in the circular economy and technology, the Company actively promotes various ESG governance indicators such as "Green Energy and Environmental Protection", "Smart Manufacturing", "5G Mobile Communication" and "Digital Transformation", so that customers, suppliers and Inventec can achieve a win-win situation for all parties. In terms of concrete results, the Company has been highly recognized by all sectors, and has won honors such as "Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2022" in Taiwan, "Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility" Award by CommonWealth Magazine, "Taiwan Top 100 Sustainable Model Enterprise Award" and "Corporate Sustainability Report Award - Platinum".

The Business Plan for 2023 and Future Outlook

Given the impact of persistent inflation, geopolitical factors and diversified production strategies, the global economic outlook remains conservative. However, the good news is that the borders of countries are gradually reopening and the cycle of interest rate hikes in the U.S. is expected to dwindle in the future, which makes the prospect of a soft landing for the global economy more promising.

Overview of the Business Plan for 2023

  • (1) The Company will enhance digital resilience and digital management mechanisms through digital transformation action plans and collaborate with partners to create global business opportunities.

  • (2) The Company will focus on three key areas in its internal management to enhance profitability: 1. Establish an optimal inventory level to reduce the impact of interest rate spikes; 2. Strictly control operating expenses and saving costs; 3. Improve production efficiency and enhance automation at each plant.

  • (3) The existing business groups will continue to maintain a stable market share: Laptop computers are expected to see an increase in both shipment volume and average unit price due to the addition of new gaming projects; Servers will continue to grow given the launch of new platform applications and the business expansion of CSP (major cloud service provider); For smart devices, the Vietnam plant is expected to

6

acquire new customers successively and its shipment, revenue and profit contribution look forward to increase after mass production.

  • (4) As for the new business groups established in 2022, after years of planning and deployment, Inventec has actively invested in the integration of 5G private network systems, automotive electronics with an emphasis on the field of electronic control, and smart medical-related healthcare markets, aiming to jointly drive the growth momentum for the Inventec group.

For a long time, Inventec has always adhered to the Company’s core values of “Innovation, Quality, Open Mind and Execution” to adjust its business strategy in the face of changes within the industrial environment. In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Company continues to perform ESG sustainability-related action strategies, which include requiring suppliers to improve the production process and fulfill their environmental protection responsibilities, reducing the carbon footprint of the Group’s production environment, providing a friendly workplace, and expanding participation in caring for the society. Looking into the future, it is expected that Inventec will be able to strengthen its long-term competitive advantages, expand the scale of its business operations, actively develop long-term strategic relationships with partners, and create higher corporate value for shareholders.

We wish all of you good health and all the best.

  • 2.2.3.5 The Policies, Standards, and Combinations of Remuneration Paid to Directors, President, and Vice Presidents, the Procedures for Remuneration Determination, and the Correlation with Operational Performance and Risks in the Future

  • (1). According to the Articles of Incorporation, if the Company has made a profit in the current year, no less than 3% shall be appropriated for the compensation of employees and no more than 3% shall be appropriated for the compensation of directors by Article 26 of the Articles of Incorporation. The Company shall compensate all directors managing Company businesses regardless of profit or loss in operation.

32

The standard shall be based on the degree of participation in the Company's business and the value of contribution, taking into account the general level of the industry. Procedures for the determination of directors’ remuneration shall be submitted to the board of directors for resolutions made by the remuneration committee’s recommendations and assessed in accordance with the Board Performance Evaluation Method and the Remuneration Method for Directors and Managers. The remuneration of directors shall fully reflect their personal performance and the long-term business performance of the Company and shall comprehensively consider the operational risks of the Company. For independent directors, a reasonable remuneration differing from that of ordinary directors may be prescribed. The independent directors of the Company shall be paid a fixed amount monthly and shall be compensated for travelling expenses according to the number of times they actually attend board, audit committee, sustainability committee and remuneration committee meetings. The independent directors of the Company shall not participate in the remuneration distribution of directors. The remuneration of the remaining directors shall include compensation, salary, bonus and retirement pension. In addition, they shall be compensated for travelling expenses according to the number of times they actually attend board meetings and shall participate in the remuneration distribution of directors. The performance evaluation of directors shall include at least six aspects: Understanding of corporate objectives and tasks, cognition of directors' responsibilities, participation in company operations, internal relationship management and communication, directors' professional and continuing education, and internal control. The remuneration of managers includes salary, bonus and retirement pension, and they can participate in the employees’ profit sharing. The performance evaluation indicators of managers are as follows:

A. Company performance:

Financial indicator: Earnings per share.

Non-financial indicator: Greenhouse gas reduction/proportion of renewable energy/energy efficiency.

B. Unit performance:

Financial indicator: After-tax profit/Revenue (results of budget achievement)/operating cash flow/dynamic items.

Non-financial indicator: Engagement in sustainable development (indicators such as electricity consumption reduction, waste reduction, water intensity, etc.).

  • C. Individual performance: Individual appraisal result.

  • (2). Procedures for the determination of director, president and vice presidents’ remuneration shall be submitted to the board of directors for resolutions made by the remuneration committee’s recommendations. The procedure is based on the "Remuneration Regulations of the Board of Directors and Manager". The Company takes into account of the usual level of the industry, and considers the time invested by

33

the individual, the responsibilities assumed, the achievement of personal goals, performance in other positions, and the salary that the company has given to those in the same position in recent years. It should be based on the company's short-term and long-term business goals and financial status, etc., and the reasonableness of the relationship between personal performance, the company's operating performance and future risks, etc. shall also be assessed.

  • (3). The remuneration policies of the Company aim to enhance long-term competitiveness and sustainable operational ability, improve overall operation in the future, and fulfill the ideal of giving full scope to the Company’s talents. In principle, the remuneration payment is fully incorporated with performance. The remuneration system supports the fulfillment of operational strategies and creates long-term and sustainable shareholders’ value. Comprehensive evaluation items include operational performance (revenue, net income after tax, etc.), overall salary, and individual performance for overall consideration, and the payment will be distributed based on individual contributions to carry out the performance-oriented incentive system. In addition, after comprehensive consideration of the current trend of corporate governance, reasonable remuneration will be given to achieve a balance between sustainable operation and risk control. The important decisions of the management of the Company are made by balancing various risk factors, and the performance of relevant decisions is reflected in the profitability of the Company so that the compensation of the management is related to the performance of risk control.

and opportunities of climate
change to the Company and
taken actions corresponding
with climate related issues?
(4).Has the Company calculated
greenhouse gas emission, water
consumption and total weight of
wastes in previous two years and
establishedpolicies for energy





(2) In order to save the resources needed in product production, at the stage of design and
development, to maintain product function and quality, the Company has reduced the components
and consumable materials needed to be used in product production through the design of common
use and reduction of materials and recycling, reusing, etc. The green design strategies of Inventec
are divided into the following eight points: 1. Spare no effort to seek approaches to reduce
environmental impact; 2. Lessen the total energy consumption in the product life cycle; 3.
Mitigate the burden on the land; 4. Design for clean production and use; 5. Design for durability;
6. Design for best function; 7. Design for reuse, recovery, and recycling; 8. Avoid using raw
materials with toxic substances in the product.
(3) The Company regards climate change as one of the Company's key issues for risk management.
With reference to the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) framework,
we establish and strengthen the risk and opportunity control mechanism in response to climate
change. The Company has set up a Sustainable Environmental Function Team under the
Sustainabiity Committee to regularly assess the risks and opportunities presented by climate
change, develop adaptation and mitigation measures against risks, and take the opportunity to
assess potential niches and effectively integrate climate issues into the operation and management
of each section. In 2022, the Company identified nine climate risk issues, from among which the
three high-risk issues are customer behavior change, high temperatures, and low carbon
technology transition costs. Opportunities are linked to research and development, innovative
products and services, and renewable energy applications.
(4) a. The major greenhouse gas emission of Inventec (scopes 1 and 2) was 100,769 tons of CO2
equivalent in 2022. The gas emission was 100,900 tons of CO2 equivalent in 2021. In 2022,
Inventec's main source of contribution to greenhouse gas emissions was indirect greenhouse gas
emissions from imported energy (Scope 2), accounting for the total emissions was 93,424 tons of
CO2 equivalent. Scope 3 emission loads in 2022 were 879,219 metric tons of carbon dioxide

equivalents. Scope 3 emission loads in 2021 were 664,446 metric tons of carbon dioxide
equivalents. In 2022, Scope 3 was identified by the significance assessment analysis and GHG
Protocol hotspot analysis tool, following which public institutions decided on nine categories for
the quantitative implementation of inventory, considering inventory/demand reduction, resource
input/cost, and other factors. (1) use stage of the sold product, (2) purchased goods and services,
(3) downstream transportation and distribution of shipped products, (4) investment, (5)
downstream leasehold assets, (6) commuting of employees, (7) upstream transportation and
distribution, (8) The transport and disposal of waste in the operation, (9) business travel of
employees.
b. With regard to energy saving and carbon reduction, the Sector Based Approach of Science Based
Targets, (SBT) is adopted to calculate the greenhouse gas reduction target. The greenhouse gas
reduction targets are “Target driven by global warming of 1.5” .With benchmark of 2018, the
greenhouse gas emission within scopes 1 and 2, shall be reduced 50.4% by 2030”, and “with
benchmark of 2020, the greenhouse gas emission within scopes 3, shall be reduced 42% by 2030”.
19 major energy saving projects were promoted in 2022, and more than 1.89 million degrees of
electricity were saved, equivalent to a reduction of 933 metric tons of carbon dioxide. All of the
above data have been verified by an independent third-party verification institution.
c. Regarding water resources management, the water resources management policies of the
Company are “water saving for all people; change the act; efficient water consumption,
circulation, and recycling”. The water resources management goal is to take 2012 as the base year
and reduce water intensity by 24% in 2024. The water consumption in 2022 was 1052.9 thousand
tons. The average water consumption per person per year was 53.61 tons in 2022, which was
8.90% decrease compared to 58.85 tons in 2021. All of the above data have been verified by an
independent third-party verification institution.
d. Regarding waste management, the waste management policies set by the Company are “minimize
waste output and maximize resources recycling”. The waste management goal is to use 2014 as
the baseyear to reduce waste by25% by2025. The waste volume was 27.1 thousand tons

Each component further contains several items. Please refer to the Regulations for details.

  4. The Company has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system according to the aforesaid criteria.

  5. Based on the findings of the assessment mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2022, its internal control system (including its supervision and management of subsidiaries), as well as its internal controls to monitor the achievement of its objectives concerning effectiveness and efficiency of operations, reliability, timeliness, transparency and regulatory compliance of reporting, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and bylaws, were effective in design and operation, and reasonably assured the achievement of the above-stated objectives.

5.6 The Effect on Company or its Affiliates have Experienced Financial Difficulties:

Reinvestment company, Inventec Solar Energy Corporation, applied for a declaration of bankruptcy by resolution of the board of directors on April 8th, 2022, as it had been unable to pay off its debts due to insufficient assets. The board of directors of Inventec Solar Energy Corporation signed a settlement agreement with seven creditor banks on April 11th, 2022, before signing the revised contract agreement on April 13th of the same year. Inventec Solar Energy Corporation borrowed money from a third party to pay the settlement to seven creditor banks, and the creditor banks agreed

148

to dispense Inventec Solar Energy Corporation from its debts and waive all rights claimed by Inventec Solar Energy Corporation based on the credit contract. A creditor bank has withdrawn the legal proceedings filed against Inventec Solar Energy Corporation and returned all the promissory notes issued by Inventec Solar Energy Corporation in accordance with the credit contract. The consolidated company has recognized the accumulated losses of Inventec Solar Energy Corporation, and Inventec Solar Energy Corporation’s application for a declaration of bankruptcy has no significant impact on the financial business of our company.

6.2.2 Expected Sales Volume and its Basis

In 2022, affected by the political and economic situations, the laptop market was in low demand and showed a recession trend. However, with the development of new models and the constant development of e-sports, NB shipments only decreased slightly compared to the previous year. Under the pressure of inventory depletion and weak market demand in 2023, the overall laptop outlook is generally conservative, and the operating growth is expected to weaken in the first quarter. However, the Company is committed to product innovation, combined with the recent Internet of things, e-sports products, and other related applications, and will be able to bring constant growth momentum for PC products, and shipment quantity and the average unit price are expected to increase.

As for the server, in 2022, due to the constantly growing demand for cloud computing driven by the epidemic, coupled with the new generation of server CPU platforms and the infrastructure construction of data centers, the shipment of servers grew. Looking ahead to 2023, the server market is expected to continue to grow as demand from cloud service providers CSP continues to increase and Intel and AMD release new CPU platforms, which will boost the tide of server upgrades.

The smart device industry saw its shipments grow in 2022 on the back of new products. In 2023, the overall market supply and demand gap in the intelligent device industry will be gradually improved, and the newly established Vietnam factory is expected to obtain new customers one after another. It’s expected that the overall shipment, revenue, and profit contribution will increase after the mass production is started, and the growth is expected to be higher than that of the previous year.

6.2.3 Possible Impact on the Future Financial Business of the Company and Response Plan

In the face of an increasingly fierce competitive environment, the Company will continuously carry out vertical integration and enter into strategic alliances to seek new opportunities, as well as focusing on core business operations, so as to respond to further market changes in the future. As for the demand of investment that might occur due to the growth of operations, the professional team of the Company will see that excellent financial planning in put in place through rigorous internal and external financial risk management analysis, allocation of integrated financial resources, and consideration of the costs of investments to ensure smooth operation of the Company. The Company has no current doubts of significant impact on finances of the business.

6.6 Analysis of Risk Management

  • 6.6.1 The Impact of Interest Rate, Change in Exchange Rate, Inflation on Loss and Profit of the Company, and Future Resolutions:

  • Impact on loss and profit of the Company:

2022 Net amount of interest
income(expenditure)
Net amount of
exchange(loss) profit
Unit: NT$ thousands (1,271,272) 667,898
  1. Future resolutions:

  2. A. Interest rate: The cumulative effect of the rapid interest rate hike in 2022 and the willingness of conservative lending of financial institutions will result in risks in some European and American banking systems. There is a possibility of economic slowdown or even recession in 2023. The pace of interest rate hikes is expected to slow or pause, but inflationary pressures in major economies remain high, and rates are likely to remain high for a period. To manage the increase of interest caused by high interest rates, the Company will try to reduce its financing. If the Company must finance, it will evaluate the stability and interest rate advantages of banks and weigh up the interest rates in different currencies and for different periods to avoid price risks caused by market interest rate fluctuations. By taking into account liquidity and security, the allocation of fund portfolio can be optimized.

  3. B. Exchange rate: A recession in the United States and major economies is expected, and the focus on inflation will shift to regulating financial stability and reducing the risk of recession. The U.S. Federal Reserve rate hike is coming to an end, and the dollar is expected to gradually weaken against the Taiwan dollar in the medium to long term. Central banks face large international capital flows, and international connectivity and stability in the currency market remain their main objectives. The Company has developed close cooperation with international major manufacturers. The main exchange rate policy is natural hedging after debt offset and supplemented by foreign exchange hedging operations.

  4. C. Inflation: Bottlenecks in the global supply chain have eased and international institutions expect crude oil and other raw material prices to stabilize. International inflation is expected to fall gradually. However, due to the increase of tourism, leisure, and other entertainment service prices following COVID-19, as well as food prices driven up by avian influenza and COVID-19, and electricity prices following the increase of international prices, domestic inflation may gradually stabilize. In 2023, the Company will continue to actively observe market conditions and effectively control costs and operating expenses to mitigate the impact of inflation on operations and avoid any virtual profit and actual loss.

156

  • D. Liquidity risk: Our credit lines with banks are sufficient to fulfill all contractual obligations. We have good credit with correspondent banks, and are secure and stable, and still have sufficient cash deposits and current assets. There is no liquidity risk in short-term and long-term circulating capital.

6.6.2 Engage in High Risk and High Leverage Investments, Lend Funds to Other Parties, Endorsement and Derivatives Transaction Policy, Main Reasons for Profit or Loss, and Future Resolutions:

Based on a steady operation philosophy, the Company mainly focuses on the operation of its original product field. Regarding investments, in addition to relevant investments in the original industry, upstream and downstream of the product field, vertical cooperation, etc., the Company does not engage in any high risk or high leverage investments. Regarding lending funds to other parties, endorsements, and derivatives related transactions, such is actually handled according to the execution policy stipulated in Procedures for Acquisition and Disposal of Assets, Procedures for Lending Funds to Other Parties, and Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees of the Company. In the future, the Company will still rigorously execute such matters according to the handling procedures of relevant regulations in order to guarantee the maximum rights and interests of the Company and its shareholders.

6.6.3 Future Research and Development Plan and Research and Development Expenditures Expected to be Invested.

  1. Innovation and quality: "Innovation" is the cornerstone of differentiation, which is a main factor for breaking through in a competitive environment. The group will continuously adhere to its innovative business philosophy whether it is tangible or intangible and remain committed to customers and partners with the highest "quality" improvements in the future.

  2. Future research and development plan:

  3. A. Notebook computers: Inventec always regards customer demand as the top priority in research and development. With the development of artificial intelligence, the additive effect of hardware and software generated by AI platforms on laptop computers is non-negligible. Looking ahead to 2023, in addition to the application of a new generation of chips and processors to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of products, new e-sports, and AI integration will be a new highlight in future development. Continuing with the mixed work pattern in the post-pandemic era, shipments are expected to be flat in 2023.

  4. B. Servers and cloud services: The Company has strong hardware, software, and research and development capabilities and will continue to expand its alliance with strategic partners, in addition to the customized complete solutions to increase the added value of products, in order to pursue growth. In addition, the Company will continue to expand the smart factory to provide customers with high-performance products. The booming AI market and the growing maturity of 5G applications are indirectly driving the demand for servers, it is expected that in 2023 the

157

Company’s server and cloud industry will hit a peak.

  • C. Smart devices: In addition to the original intelligent wearable products, the Company also focuses on intelligent medical treatment, cloud health management, and precision medicine. In the future, the Company will still be committed to research and development, production, and manufacturing of intelligent terminal products in various fields, and the layout of technologically forward-looking products, with the relevant cloud technology being introduced to create maximum customer value.

  • D. 5G: The future will be an era of a digital economy at the core, and the combination of 5G and the Internet of Things will accelerate the digital transformation of the industry. With a deep foundation of hardware, Inventec will integrate intelligent manufacturing in the 5G era, aiming to develop the 5G private network system integration ability.

  • Research and development expenditure expected to be invested:

  • The future development plan of the Company will continue to move by mastering market fluctuation and understanding customer demands. In response to new market environments, manufacturing process improvement, and technology development, the Group is expected to input more than NT$ 10.9 billion in research and development this year and will control the product development and market sales schedule within six months.

  • The research and development plans in recent years, current progress of unfinished research and development plans, research and development expenses that need to be invested, expected time of completing mass production, and major factors influencing the success of research and development in the future:

In addition, with the help of big data collection, application and analysis, and combined with the Internet of Things and AIT, it is committed to creating a 5G intelligent factory with high quality and excellent process. In the age of technological explosion and except for the digital application of information technology, Inventec must also enhance its Infocomm security management to create a low-risk and circulating financial administration tool.

COVID19 changed staff work modes and Working at Home has become normal. To this end, relevant network safety risks must be taken into consideration. What’s more, as blurry network boundaries and diverse devices become new challenges, reinforcements of interior device identification, personnel verification, EDR monitoring, as well as colleagues’ network safety awareness are priorities for this year.

6.6.9 Risks Faced in Centralized Goods Purchase and Sales and Resolutions:

Affected by the China-Us trade war, the epidemics, the political war environment, and other factors, the global supply chain is driven to move rapidly. To obtain more flexibility in supply and demand, the Company not only conducts capacity reconfiguration in various places and the localized supply of goods but also conducts effective management of suppliers to reduce the risk of over-concentration of imports and sales. The updating multi-angle layout and integration of software and hardware will lead the Group to a broader world.

6.6.10 The Impact of Massive Transfer or Change of Stock Equity between and among Directors, Supervisors, or Major Shareholders Holding More than Ten Percent of the Total Share of the Company and Resolutions: None.

6.6.11 The Impact of Change of Operation Rights of the Company, Risks, and Resolutions: None.

6.6.12 Litigation or Non-Litigation Cases:

  1. Significant litigation, non-litigation or administrative litigation cases of the Company and affiliated companies in the past two years, such cases that have been sentenced or are currently pending, and the results thereof that have a significant impact on shareholders’ equity or securities price: None.

  2. As of the publication date of annual report, whether the Directors, Supervisors, President, and shareholders with shareholding ratio over ten percent of the Company are involved in any significant litigation, non-litigation or administrative litigation cases, such cases have been sentenced or are currently pending, and the results thereof have a significant impact on shareholders' equity or securities price: None.

6.6.13 Other Important Risks and Counter Measures

Risk of operational suspension due to the COVID-19 epidemic: In response to the continuation of the Covid-19 pandemic which is affecting supply chains and production all over the world, we are strengthening operation management to avoid the risk of a breakdown in operations.

Independent AuditorsReport

To the Board of Directors of Inventec Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Inventec Corporation(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors ’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirement. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Notes (4)(g), (5)(a) and (6)(e) for accounting policies, significant accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty, and related disclosure information for inventory, respectively.

Description of the key audit matter:

The Company’s materials may be obsolescence or slow-moving due to the risk of price decline in inventory, the material prepared for designing products and forecast orders may be canceled or changed, or changed on components and quantities. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

181

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included assessing the appropriateness of inventories valuation policies; ensuring the process of inventory valuation is in conformity with the accounting policies; inspecting the inventory aging report; recalculating estimation of inventory valuation based on the Company’s policies.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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.

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

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

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

182

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

  2. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain soley 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 charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Wan-Wan Lin and Rou-Lan Kuo.

2.Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Company is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

  • (c) Foreign currencies

  • 1.Foreign currency transaction

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

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for an investment in equity securities designed as at fair value through other comprehensive income, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.

2.Foreign operations

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

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

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

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

  4. The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  5. (e) Cash and cash equivalents

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

  • (f) Financial instruments

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

  • 1.Financial assets

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

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

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

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

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

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

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Some trade receivables deriving from the collection of contractual cash flows and sales made by the Company are measured at FVOCI, and recognized as ‘trade receivables’ line item.

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

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

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

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

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

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

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

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

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

Loss allowance for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

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

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than year past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.

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

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

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

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

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • ‧significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • ‧a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 1 year past due;

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

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

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

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

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

  • 5) Derecognition of financial assets

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

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

  • 2.Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

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

2) Equity instrument

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

3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

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

  • 4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

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

  • 5) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • 3.Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.

Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.

  • (g) Inventories

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

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

  • (h) Investment in associates

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

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Company recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual significant influence.

Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Company’s interests in the associate.

When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in associates, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extend that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The Company discontinues the use of equity method and measures the retained niterest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method that was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Company accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss (or retained earnings) on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Company reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (or retained earnings) (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued. If the Company's ownership interest in an associate is reduced while it continues to apply the equity method, the Company reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest to profit or loss.

When the Company subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments, with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under additional paid-in capital. If the additional paid-in capital resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

  • (i) Investment in subsidiaries

The subsidiaries in which the Company holds controlling interest are accounted for under equity method in the parent company only financial statements. Under equity method, the net income, other comprehensive income and equity in the parent company only financial statement are the same as those attributable to the owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements.

The changes in ownership of the subsidiaries are recognized as equity transaction.

  • (j) Property, plant, and equipment

  • 1.Recognition and measurement

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

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

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

  • 2.Subsequent expenditure

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

  • 3.Depreciation

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

Land is not depreciated.

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

as follows:
Buildings 10 ~ 50years
Machinery
2 ~ 11years
Transportation equipment
3 ~ 6years
Furniture and office facilities
2 ~ 14years
Power equipment
2 ~ 16years
Renovation and leasehold improvements
2 ~ 20years
Miscellaneous equipment
2 ~ 16years

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

  • (k) Leases

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

  • (i) As a lessee

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • 1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

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

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

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

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

  • 5) there are any lease modifications

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including other equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (ii) As a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

  • (l) Intangible assets

  • 1.Recognition and measurement

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

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

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

  • 2.Subsequent expenditure

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

  • 3.Amortization

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

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

Computer software cost 1year~6 years

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

  • (m) Impairment of non-financial assets

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

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

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

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

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

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

  • (n) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

  • (o) Revenue

  • 1.Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company’s main types of revenue are explained below.

1)Sale of goods

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price ’ to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

  • 2) Consulting services and Management services

The Company provides advisory and management services. Revenue from providing services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. The proportion of services provided is determined based on the costs incurred to date as a proportion of the total estimated costs of the transaction.

  • 3) Financing components

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

  • (p) Employee benefits

  • 1.Defined contribution plans

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

  • 2.Defined benefit plans

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

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

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

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

3.Termination benefits

Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Company recognizes costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.

  • 4.Short-term employee benefits

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

  • (q) Income taxes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

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

  • (r) Earnings per share

The Company disclose the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible bonds and employee compensation.

  • (s) Operating segments

Please refer to the consolidated financial report of Inventec Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 for operating segments information.

(5) Significant Accounting Assumptions and Judgements, and Major Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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

The Company does not have any accounting policies which involve significant judgment which have significant influence to the annual financial statements.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows. Those assumptions and estimation have been updated to reflect the impact of COVID-19 pandemic:

  • (a) Valuation of inventories

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

2.Retained earnings

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation require that after-tax earnings shall first be offset against any accumulated deficit, and 10% of the rest be set aside as legal reserve. The appropriation for legal reserve is discontinued when the balance of the legal reserve equals the total authorized capital. Special reserve may be appropriated for operations or to meet regulations. The remaining earnings, if any, may be appropriated for operations according to the proposal, and the distributed dividends may not be lower than 10% of the earnings. Surplus distribution based on issuance of new shares approved by the Board of Directors, should be resolved during the shareholder's meeting. In consideration of the Company's long-term operating plan, funding needs, and satisfying shareholder demand for cash flow, the Company distributes cash dividends of at least 10% of the aggregate of cash dividends and stock dividends if the distributions include cash dividend. In accordance with Article 240 of the ROC Company Act, the Company authorizes the distribution of dividends and bonuses or its legal reserve and capital reserve, according to Article 241 of the ROC Company Act, in whole or in part may be paid in cash after a resolution has been adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of the Board of Directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors; then such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholder's meeting.

1) Legal reserve

If the Company experienced profit for the year, the meeting of shareholders shall decide on the distribution of the statutory earnings reserve either by new shares or by cash, of up to 25 percent of the actual share capital.

2) Special reserve

In accordance with the Ruling issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, for the contra account of other shareholders' equity incurred in the current year, a special reserve is appropriated from the current profit, plus, the amount of items other than the current profit included in the current undistributed earnings and prior period’s undistributed earnings. For the amount of contra accounts in other shareholders' equity accumulated in the prior period, a special reserve which was appropriated from the prior period ’ s undistributed earnings can no longer be allocated. When the debit balance of any of the contra account in other shareholders’ equity is reversed, the related special reserve can also be reversed. The subsequent reversals of the contra accounts in other shareholders' equity shall qualify for any additional distributions.

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risks arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans and borrowings, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 0.5% depreciation or appreciation of the functional currency against all the non-functional currency as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $83,526 and $109,435, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

  • 3) Gains or losses on foreign exchange

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the foreign exchange gain (loss), including realized and unrealized, amounted to $1,500,512 and ($814,054), respectively. As Company deals with diverse foreign currencies, therefore, the gains or losses on foreign exchange cannot be fully disclosed by its materiality.

  • 4.Interest rate analysis

Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Company’ s financial assets and liabilities.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rates risk on the reporting date. Regarding liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of liabilities outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year.

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.25%, the Company’s profit will decrease or increase by $64,998 and$84,691 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, assuming all other variable factors remain constant. This is mainly due to the Company's variable rate in borrowings.

  • 5.Fair value of financial instruments

  • 1) Fair value hierarchy

The Company uses the observable market data to evaluate its assets and liabilities. The different inputs of levels of fair value hierarchy in determination of fair value are as follows:

  • ‧Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identified assets or liabilities.

  • ‧Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • ‧ Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is measured on a recurring basis. However, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is estimated reasonably close to the fair value, and for equity investments that has no quoted prices in the active markets and lease liabilities information is not required:

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities were decided in accordance with the solutions as follows:

  • (2.1)Non-derivative financial instruments

  • A. The stocks of listed companies are financial assets with standard terms which are traded in the active markets. Their fair values are based on the quoted market prices.

  • B. The fair value of private equity is based on standard terms and quoted market prices.

  • C. The fair value of unquoted instruments were estimated using either the discounted cash flow model in which future cash flow were estimated and discounted or the fair value of the recognized assets and liabilities of the investees on the measurement day.

  • (2.2)Derivative financial instruments

Foreign exchange swap and forward exchange were usually evaluated in the latest forward rate.

  • 3) Transfers between level 1 and level 2

There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

  • 6) Sensitivity analysis for fair values of financial instruments using Level 3 Inputs

The Company's fair value measurement on financial instruments is reasonable. However, the measurement would differ if different valuation models or valuation parameters are used. For financial instruments using level 3 inputs, if the valuation parameters are changed, the impact on net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss will be as follows:

December 31, 2022
Financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss
Financial instruments without an active
market
Financial assets at fair value through other

The favorable change and unfavorable change refer to the fluctuation of fair value. The fair value is calculated based on the different levels of unobservable inputs. The table above shows the impact on single input. Therefore, the relations and variations between inputs are not considered.

  • 6.Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The Company has financial instruments transactions, applicable to the International Financial Reporting Standards Sections 42 NO. 32 approved by the FSC, which required for offsetting. Financial assets and liabilities relating those transactions are recognized in the net amount of the balance sheets.

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

5.Market risk

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

The Company buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Company.

1) Exchange rate risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (TWD). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in TWD and USD.

The Company often uses the principle of natural hedging as its basis, and proceed supplemented by derivative instruments for hedging exchange rate risk.

The interest is denominated in the same currency as borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Company. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into, and therefore, hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.

2) Interest rate risk

The Company’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings bearing floating interest rates. The fluctuation of the market interest rate changes the floating interest rates of the long-term borrowings, and thus affect the future cash flow. In order to decrease the effect of the market interest rate fluctuation on to the future cash flow, the Company periodically evaluates bank and currency borrowing rate to hedge the cash flow risk caused by the market interest rate fluctuation.

(x) Capital Management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings of the Company. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The Company ’ s objective for managing capitals is to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and to sustain future development of the business by making debts and capital the most suitable capital structure and optimizing the best of it based on industrial scales, future growth development, and capital expenditures needed for plants and equipment. Thus, the Company calculates the operating funds based on the life cycle of the products, plans for the development in the long run, and then decides the most suitable capital structure considering the business cycle.

Appendix II: Consolidated financial statements with subsidiaries audited by CPA of 2022

280

Independent AuditorsReport

To the Board of Directors of Inventec Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Inventec Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors ’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirement. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Notes (4)(h), (5) and (6)(e) for accounting policies, significant accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty and related disclosure information for inventory, respectively.

Description of the key audit matter:

The Group’s materials may be obsolescence or slow-moving due to the risk of price decline in inventory, the material prepared for designing products and forecast orders may be canceled or changed, or changed on components and quantities. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

281

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included assessing the appropriateness of inventories valuation policies; ensuring the process of inventory valuation is in conformity with the accounting policies; inspecting the inventory aging report; recalculating estimation of inventory valuation based on the Group’s policies.

2. The offsetting agreements of financial assets and liabilities

Please refer to Notes (4)(g), (6)(b) and (6)(x) for accounting policy and detailed information on the agreements of financial assets and liabilities offsetting.

Description of the key audit matter:

In order to use fund flexibly, the Group handled multiple kinds of financial instruments which IAS was endorsed by FSC to offset financial assets and liabilities and be reported in the balance sheet. The disclosure of financial instruments which are not expired on the reporting date would influence the judgment of report reader.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included examining whether the amount of the signed contract were within the scope authorized by the Board of Directors; sampling transactions in 2022 to examine whether contracts were signed with banks; reviewing the contracts to check if the regulation of offsetting criteria was met; and assessing whether the disclosure of financial assets and liabilities offsetting is appropriate.

Other Matter

Inventec Corporation has additionally prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.

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

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

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

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

282

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China 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 consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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

283

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Wan-Wan Lin and Rou-Lan Kuo.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intra group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group attributes the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

The Group prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attribute it to the owners of the parent.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost, with the resulting gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss. The Group recognizes as gain or loss in profit or loss the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration received as well as any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost; and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill), liabilities of the subsidiary as well as any related non-controlling interests as their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost, as gain or loss in profit or loss. When the Group loses control of its subsidiary, it accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if it had directly deposed of the related assets or liabilities.

  • 3.Subsidiaries excluded from the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • (d) Foreign currencies

  • 1.Foreign currency transactions

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

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for an investment in equity securities designed as at fair value through other comprehensive income, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.

2.Foreign operations

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

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

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

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

  4. The Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

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

  • (f) Cash and cash equivalents

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

  • (g) Financial instruments

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

1.Financial assets

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

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

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

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

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

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Some trade receivables deriving from the collection of contractual cash flows and sales made by the Group are measured at FVOCI, and recognized as ‘trade receivables’ line item.

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

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

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

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

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

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

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and trade receivables, other receivable, leases receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI and contract assets.

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

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

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

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

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

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due.

297

(English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese)

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

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

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than year past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full.

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

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

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

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

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • ‧significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • ‧a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 1 year past due;

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

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

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

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charge to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off either partially or in full to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write off. However, financial assets that are written ’ off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

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

5) Derecognition of financial assets

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

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

  • 2.Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

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

2) Equity instrument

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

3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

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

  • 4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

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

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

  • 5) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • (h) Inventories

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

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

  • (i) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or jointly control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Group recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual proportionate share.

Gains and losses resulting from the transactions between the Group and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Group’s interest in the associate.

When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in associates, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extend that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

(English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese)

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

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

The Group discontinues the use of equity method and measures the retained interest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method that was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Group accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss (or retained earnings) on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (or retained earnings) (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued. If the Group's ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture is reduced, while the entity continues to apply the equity method, the Group reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss, that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest, to profit or loss.

If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the Group shall continue to apply the equity method without remeasuring the retained interest.

When the Group subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under additional paid-in capital. If the additional paid-in capital resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

  • (j) Property, plant, and equipment

  • 1.Recognition and measurement

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

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

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

  • 2.Subsequent expenditure

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

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

3.Depreciation

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

Land is not depreciated.

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

as follows:
Buildings 10 ~ 50years
Machinery 2 ~ 11years
Transportation equipment 3 ~ 6years
Furniture and office facilities 2 ~ 14years
Power equipment 2 ~ 16years
Renovation and leasehold improvements 2 ~ 20years
Miscellaneous equipment 2 ~ 16years

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

  • (k) Leases

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

1.As a leasee

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

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

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

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

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

  • 1) Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payment;

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

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

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

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

  • 1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

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

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

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

  • 5) there is any lease modifications.

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Group accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of housing, transportation, and other equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

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

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

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

  • 3) any reduction in lease payments that affects only those payments originally due on, or before, June 30, 2021; and

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

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

  • 2.As a lessor

When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

  • (l) Intangible assets

  • 1.Recognition and measurement

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

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

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

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

  • 2.Subsequent expenditure

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

  • 3.Amortization

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

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

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

1) Trademark rights 10 years 2) Computer software cost 1 years~6 years

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

  • (m) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets, deferred tax assets and investment properties and biological assets, measured at fair value, less costs) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

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

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

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

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

  • (n) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

1.Warranties

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

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

2.Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

  • 3.The Group has periodically assessed the obligation of all litigation and claims and relative legal costs based on historical experience. If settling present obligation is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Group recognizes a provision for legal claims.

  • (o) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Group’s main types of revenue are explained below.

1.Sale of goods

The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

  • 2.Consulting services and Management services

The Group provides advisory and management services. Revenue from providing services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. The proportion of services provided is determined based on the costs incurred to date as a proportion of the total estimated costs of the transaction.

3.Financing components

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

  • (p) Employee benefits

  • 1.Defined contribution plans

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

  • 2.Defined benefit plans

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

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

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

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

3.Termination benefits

Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognizes costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.

  • 4.Short-term employee benefits

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

  • (q) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

Grant date of a share-based payment award is the date which the board of directors and the employees have made an agreement on the price and number of the new award.

  • (r) Income taxes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

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

  • (s) Earnings per share

The Group disclose the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible bonds and employee compensation.

  • (t) Operating segments

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

(5) Significant Accounting Assumptions and Judgements, and Major Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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

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

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows. Those assumptions and estimation have been updated to reflect the impact of COVID-19 pandemic:

(a) Valuation of inventories

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

  • (b) The value of an entity’s assets without adopting a going concern accounting basis

When the management of the consolidated entity has no intention to continue its operation, it usually disposes of the assets to recover the economic benefit. The entity's assets are assessed and measured based on the recoverable amount; however, the evaluation method involves different assumptions (including orderly transactions, sufficient time to trade, and the expected number of market participants). When the creditors exercise right of claim, the entity's assets are estimated under abnormal market condition as a result of the forced sale or rapid liquidation. The estimated amount will be different from the amount under an orderly transaction with market participants that the entity could collect to sell assets, or need to pay to transfer liabilities, less directly attributable incremental cost of disposing of assets or cash-generating units.

The Group assessed that some accounts receivable were derived from the collection of contractual cash flows and sales. Therefore, those accounts receivable were measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the amounts of accounts receivable measured at fair value through other comprehensive income were $5,107,315 and $4,004,719, respectively.

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, notes and accounts receivable have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information, including macroeconomic and relevant industry information. The loss allowance was determined as follows:

The carryforward of unused tax credits were determined in accordance with the rules established by each taxation authorities, and can be applied to offset against profit and income tax in the future respectively. The deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the aforementioned items because they are not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilize the benefits therefrom.

The Susidiaries located in China, where the income tax rate is 25%, in accordance with the rules for the implementation of the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China for enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises, was entitled to the preferential treatment for advanced technology industries with respect to reduction of or exemption from income tax.

Each company is taxed in accordance with the income tax law of their respective jurisdiction.

Unused loss Expiry year The carryforward of unused $ 4,501,983 2023~2032 losses

Due to the unstable economic environment recovery, the realizability of tax assets of the tax losses, which amounted to $4,501,983, is doubtful. Therefore, the Group has recognized the partial tax losses as deferred tax assets. If the sales grow continuously, the Group would recognize the aforementioned tax losses in the future and generate the additional tax benefits.

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risks arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans and borrowings, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 0.25% depreciation or appreciation of the functional currency against all the non-functional currency as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $158,504 and $53,011, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

3) Foreign exchange gain and loss on monetary items

Since the Group has many kinds of functional currency, the information on foreign exchange gain (loss) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the foreign exchange gain (loss), including realized and unrealized, amounted to $667,898 and ($351,570), respectively.

4.Interest rate analysis

Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Group's financial assets and liabilities.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rates risk on the reporting date. Regarding liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amaunt of liabilities outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year.

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.25%, the Group’s net income would have decreased or increased by $119,980 and $129,406 for nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with all other variable factors remaining constant. This is mainly due to the Group's borrowing at variable rates.

  • 5.Fair value of financial instruments

  • 1) Fair value hierarchy

The Group uses the observable market data to evaluate its assets and liabilities. The different inputs of levels of fair value hierarchy in determination of fair value are as follows:

  • ‧Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identified assets or liabilities.

  • ‧Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • ‧Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is measured on a recurring basis. However, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is estimated reasonably close to the fair value, and for equity investments that has no quoted prices in the active markets and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, the disclosure of their fair value information is not required:

  • 2) Valuation techniques and assumptions for financial instruments measured at fair value:

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities was decided in accordance with the solutions as follows:

  • (2.1) Non-derivative financial instruments

  • A. The stocks of listed companies are financial assets with standard terms which are traded in the active markets. Their fair values are based on the quoted market prices.

  • B. The fair value of private equity is based on standard terms and quoted market prices.

  • C. The fair value of unquoted equity instruments was estimated using the market comparable price or net asset value method. The assumption of market comparable price method was based on a comparison between the market prices of each listed company, multiplied by using the estimated price. The discount effect is adjusted due to lack of market liquidity in equity securities.

  • D. The fair value of unquoted instruments was estimated using either the discounted cash flow model in which future cash flow were estimated and discounted or the fair value of the recognized assets and liabilities of the investee on the measurement day.

  • (2.2) Derivative financial instruments

Foreign exchange swap and forward exchange were usually evaluated in the latest forward rate.

  • 6) Sensitivity analysis for fair values of financial instruments using Level 3 Inputs

The Group's fair value measurement on financial instruments is reasonable. However, the measurement would differ if different valuation models or valuation parameters are used. For financial instruments using level 3 inputs, if the valuation parameters are changed, the impact on net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss will be as follows:

December 31, 2022
Financial assets at fair value through profit

Financial instruments without an active
market
Financial assets at fair value through other

The favorable change and unfavorable change refer to the fluctuation of fair value. The fair value is calculated based on the different levels of unobservable inputs. The table above shows the impact on single input. Therefore, the relations and variations between inputs are not considered.

  • 6.Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The Group has financial instrument transactions, applicable to the International Financial Reporting Standards Sections 42 NO. 32 approved by the FSC, which required for offsetting. Financial assets and liabilities relating those transactions are recognized in the net amount of the balance sheets.

The Group also performs transactions not compliance with offsetting term of statement, but the Group has an exercisable master netting arrangement or similar agreement in place with its counterparties, and both parties reach a consensus regarding net settlement. The aforesaid exercisable master netting arrangement or similar agreement can be net settled after offsetting the financial assets and financial liabilities. Otherwise, the transaction can be settled at the total amount. In the event of default involving one of the parties, the other party can have the transaction net settled.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

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

4.Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is a risk that the Group is unable to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group use actual cost to estimate the cost of its products and services to better assist the Group's monitoring on the cash flow and optimizing the return on investment. As of December 31, 2022, the capital and working funds of the Group are sufficient to meet its entire contractual obligation; therefore, the management is not expecting any significant issue on liquidity risk. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group's unused credit line were amounted to $73,159,482 and $53,788,358, respectively.

5.Market risk

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

The Group buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Group.

1) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (TWD), US Dollars (USD), Czech Koruna (CZK), Japanese Yen (JPY) and China Yuan (CNY). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in TWD, USD, JPY and CNY.

The Group often uses the principle of natural hedging as its basis, and proceed supplemented by derivative instruments for hedging exchange rate risk.

The interest is denominated in the same currency as borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into, and therefore, hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.

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

2) Interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings bearing floating interest rates. The fluctuation of the market interest rate changes the floating interest rates of the long-term borrowings, and thus affect the future cash flow. In order to decrease the effect of the market interest rate fluctuation on to the future cash flow, the Group periodically evaluates bank and currency borrowing rate to hedge the cash flow risk caused by the market interest rate fluctuation.

(z) Capital Management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings, other equity interest and non-controlling interests of the Group. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The group's objective for managing capitals is to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and to sustain future development of the business by making debts and capital the most suitable capital structure and optimizing the best of it based on industrial scales, future growth development, and capital expenditures needed for plants and equipment. Thus, the Group calculates the operating funds based on the life cycle of the products, plans for the development in the long run, and then decides the most suitable capital structure considering the business cycle.

The Group ensures the financial resources and the operating plan are sufficient to support the future needs of operating funds, capital expenditures, debt refunding and dividend distribution.

The Group’s debt to equity ratio at the reporting date was as follows:
