CPAs' Audit Report
To K.S. TERMINALS INC.,
Audit opinions
We have audited the accompanying parent company-only balance sheets of K.S. TERMINALS INC. (the “Company”) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related parent company-only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, as well as the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “parent company-only financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audit results and the audit reports of other accountants (please refer to the Other Matters section), the accompanying parent company-only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the paragraph “CPAs’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements.” We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant and have fulfilled our other responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audit results and the audit reports of other accountants, we are convinced that we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for our audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters refer to the most vital matters in our audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, based on our professional judgment. These matters are addressed in our audit of the parent company-only financial statements as a whole and in forming our audit opinion. We do not express a separate opinion on these matters.
Inventory Valuation (including investment using the equity method – subsidiary inventory)
The inventories of the Company and its subsidiaries invested using the equity method are material to the financial statements. The main raw materials in the inventory are bronze and copper. Due to fluctuations in international copper prices, the prices of raw material inventories may vary greatly. Additionally, fluctuations in international raw material prices can impact the selling prices of the relevant finished goods, especially when raw material prices are excessively low. As the amount of the allowance for inventory write-downs is

material to the financial statements, we adopted it as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, understanding and testing the effectiveness of the internal control system established by the management team regarding inventory impairment losses; assessing the reasonableness of the allowance for inventory valuation losses provided; performing inventory observation procedures to confirm the condition of year-end inventory; recalculating unit costs for selected samples; and, for net realizable values used by management, selecting samples to verify against relevant purchase and sales documentation to validate the accuracy of inventory net realizable values.
We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosures in Notes 4, 5, and 6 to the financial statements related to inventories.
Other Matters – Reference to Other Accountants
Among the investee companies included in K.S. Terminals Inc.’s separate financial statements, the financial statements of certain investee companies were not audited by us but were audited by other accountants. Therefore, our opinion on the aforementioned parent company-only financial statements, with respect to the amounts listed in the financial statements of these investee companies, is based on the audit reports of other accountants. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the investments in these investee companies accounted for using the equity method were NTD 191,849 thousand and NTD 226,066 thousand, respectively, representing 2% and 3% of total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method was NTD (34,729) thousand and NTD (40,770) thousand, representing (19)% and (6)% of net profit before tax, respectively. The share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method was NTD 512 thousand and NTD 4,974 thousand, representing (8)% and 24% of total other comprehensive income, respectively.
Responsibilities of the management and the governing body for the parent company-only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for maintaining necessary internal controls relevant to the preparation of parent company-only financial statements to ensure that the parent company-only financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company-only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting, unless management intends to liquidate the Company, cease operations, or has no viable alternative but to do so.
The Company’s governing body (including the Audit Committee) is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
CPAs’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company-only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the parent company-only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error and to issue an independent auditors' report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatement may arise from fraud or error. If the monetary amounts are misstated, either separately or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the parent company-only financial statements, they are considered material.
We have exercised our professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism when performing the audit work in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards. We also performed the following tasks:
-
We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement arising from fraud or error within the parent company-only financial statements, designed and executed countermeasures in response to said risks, and obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our opinion. Fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Therefore, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than one resulting from error.
-
We learned about the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
We evaluated the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by the management.
-
We drew conclusions on the appropriateness of management's adoption of the going concern basis of accounting based on the audit evidence obtained and on whether a material uncertainty exists regarding events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we are of the opinion that a material uncertainty exists, we shall remind users of the parent company-only financial statements to pay attention to relevant disclosures in said statements in our audit report. If such disclosures are inadequate, we need to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
5
-
We evaluated the overall presentation, structure, and content of the parent company-only financial statements (including relevant notes) and whether the parent company-only financial statements adequately presented the relevant transactions and events.
-
We are convinced that we have acquired enough and appropriate audit evidence of the financial information of entities within the Group to serve as the basis of audit opinion on the parent company-only financial statements. We are responsible for guiding, supervising, and performing the audit and forming an audit opinion on the Group.
The matters communicated between us and the governing body included the planned scope and time of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant defects in internal control identified during the audit).
We also provided the governing body with a declaration that we have complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants regarding independence and communicated with it all relationships and other matters that might possibly be regarded as detrimental to our independence (including relevant protective measures).
From the matters communicated with the governing body, we determined the key audit matters for the audit of the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. We have clearly indicated such matters in the auditors' report, unless legal regulations prohibit the public disclosure of specific matters or in extremely rare cases in which we decided not to communicate specific items in the auditors' report for it could be reasonably anticipated that the negative effects of such disclosure would be greater than the public interest it might bring forth.

Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
I. Company History
K.S. TERMINALS INC. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) was incorporated in February 1978. It mainly engages in the production and sales of various terminal parts. It merged with Hongsong Steel Co., Ltd. on September 1, 1998. After the merger, the Company’s manufacturing, processing, and trading of iron materials, stainless steel goods, and molds increased.
The Company was approved by the competent authority to trade its stock on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in October 2011, and the stock was officially listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on February 19, 2002. The place of registration and main operating site are located at No. 8, Zhangbin East Third Road Xianxi Township, Changhua County.

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
| Item | New/Revised/Amended Standards and Interpretations | Effective Date Announced by the IASB |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts | January 1, 2023 |
| 2 | Amendments to Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) | January 1, 2026 |
| 3 | Annual Improvements to IFRSs – Volume 11 | January 1, 2026 |
| 4 | Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) | January 1, 2026 |
(1) IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
This standard provides a comprehensive model of insurance contracts, including all accounting-related elements (recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure principles). The core of the standard is a regular model. Under this model, during the initial recognition, the group of insurance contracts is measured at the aggregate amount of fulfillment cash flows and contractual service margins. The carrying amount at the end of each reporting period is the sum of the liabilities for remaining coverage and the liabilities for incurred claims.
In addition to the regular model, it also provides a specific applicable method for contracts with direct participation features (variable fee approach and a simplified method for short-term contracts) (premium allocation approach).
After this standard was published in May 2017, the amendments were published in 2020 and 2021. In these amendments, the effective date in the transitional provisions will be postponed for two years (that is, from January 1, 2021 postponed to January 1, 2023) with additional exemptions provided, while some regulations are simplified to reduce the cost of adopting this standard, and some regulations are amended to make some scenarios easier to interpret. After this standard becomes effective, it will supersede the transitional provisions (i.e. IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts").
(2) Amendments to Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)
This amendment includes:
(a) The standard clarifies that financial liabilities are derecognized on the settlement date and specifies accounting treatment for financial liabilities settled electronically prior to the settlement date.

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(b) For financial assets with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) related features or other similar contingent features, the standard clarifies how to assess their cash flow characteristics.
(c) The standard clarifies the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments.
(d) For financial assets or liabilities with terms related to contingent features (including ESG-linked) and equity instruments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, IFRS 7 requires additional disclosures.
(3) Annual Improvements to IFRSs – Volume 11
(a) Amendments to IFRS 1
(b) Amendments to IFRS 7
(c) Amendments to the Implementation Guidance of IFRS 7
(d) Amendments to IFRS 9
(e) Amendments to IFRS 10
(f) Amendments to IAS 7
(4) Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)
This amendment includes:
(a) Clarification of the application of “own use” requirements.
(b) Allowance for hedge accounting when contracts are used as hedging instruments.
(c) Additional note disclosure requirements to help investors understand the impact of such contracts on an entity’s financial performance and cash flows.
The above newly issued and amended standards shall be applicable for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company has assessed that the new or revised standards and interpretations have no material impact on the Company.
- Up to the date the financial statements were approved for release, the new or amended IFRSs published by IASB without endorsement by the FSC and not adopted by the Company:

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
| Item | New/Revised/Amended Standards and Interpretations | Effective Date Announced by the IASB |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Amendments to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” – Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture | To be determined by the IASB |
| 2 | IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements” | January 1, 2027 (Note) |
| 3 | Disclosure Initiative – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (IFRS 19) | January 1, 2027 |
| 4 | Translation into a Presentation Currency in a Hyperinflationary Economy (Amendments to IAS 21 and IAS 29) | January 1, 2027 |
(Note) The Financial Supervisory Commission announced, on September 25, 2025, that Taiwan will adopt IFRS 18 in 2028.
(1) Amendments to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” – Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
The amendments aim to address the inconsistency regarding the loss of control due to the investment in an affiliate or a joint venture through a subsidiary between IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.” IAS 28 stipulates that when non-monetary assets are invested in exchange for equity in an affiliate or joint venture, the share of the resulting profit or loss shall be eliminated as the treatment method adopted for downstream transactions. IFRS 10 stipulates that the total gain or loss upon loss of control over a subsidiary shall be recognized. The amendments restrict the above requirements of IAS 28: when assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 are sold or purchased, the total resulting gain or loss shall be recognized.
In the amendments, IFRS 10 was amended so that when an investor sells or invests in a subsidiary (affiliate or joint venture) that does not constitute a business as defined by IFRS 3, only the profit or loss arising therefrom within the scope not belonging to the investor shall be recognized.
(2) IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements”
This standard will replace IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements,” with the following major changes:
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(a) Enhancing Comparability of the Income Statement
Income and expenses will be classified into five categories on the income statement: operating, investing, financing, income tax, or discontinued operations. The first three are new classifications designed to improve the structure of the income statement, requiring all entities to provide newly defined subtotals (including operating profit/loss.) By enhancing the structure of the income statement and introducing newly defined subtotals, investors will have a consistent starting point when analyzing financial performance across entities, making it easier to compare companies.
(b) Improving Transparency of Management Performance Measures
Entities are required to disclose explanations of company-specific metrics related to the income statement (referred to as management performance measures).
(c) Useful Aggregation of Financial Statement Information
Application guidance has been established for determining whether financial information should be presented in the primary financial statements or in the notes. This change is expected to provide more detailed and useful information. Entities are required to provide more transparent information on operating expenses to help investors find and understand the information they use.
(3) Disclosure Initiative – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (IFRS 19)
This new standard and its amendments simplify disclosure requirements for subsidiaries without public accountability and permit eligible subsidiaries to elect to apply this standard.
(4) Translation into a Presentation Currency in a Hyperinflationary Economy (Amendments to IAS 21 and IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies)
This amendment includes:
(a) Clarify that when a reporting entity’s functional currency is not that of a hyperinflationary economy, but its financial statements are translated into the presentation currency of a hyperinflationary economy, its operating results and financial position shall be translated using the closing exchange rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position.
(b) Under the above circumstances, if the presentation currency subsequently ceases to be that of a hyperinflationary economy, the reporting entity shall not restate prior-period financial statement amounts.
16
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(c) When both the functional currency and the presentation currency are those of a hyperinflationary economy, the reporting entity shall apply the relevant accounting treatment in accordance with paragraph 34 of IAS 29.
For the standards or interpretations issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC, the actual effective dates will be subject to the regulations set by the FSC. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of a new standard or amendment (2) and cannot reasonably estimate its impact at this time. The remaining new or amended standards and interpretations are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group.
IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- Statement of Compliance
The Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of the Republic of China.
- Basis of Preparation
The Company prepared the parent company-only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. As per Article 21 of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the current profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the parent company-only financial statements are the same as the share of the current profit or loss and other comprehensive income attributable to the owners of the parent company in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis; and the owner’s equity in the parent company-only financial statements is the same as the equity attributable to the owners of the parent company in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis. Thus, the investment in subsidiaries is presented as “investments using the equity method” in the parent company-only financial statements, with necessary evaluation adjustments made.
The parent company-only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the financial instruments at fair value. The parent company-only financial statements are presented in thousands of NT dollars (NTD), unless otherwise specified.
17
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC. (Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
- Foreign Currencies
The Company’s parent company-only financial statements are presented in NTD, the Company’s functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recognized at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. At the end of each reporting period, foreign-currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate of that date; foreign-currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined; foreign-currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the original transaction.
Except as stated below, exchange differences arising from settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they occur:
(1) Regarding foreign-currency borrowings incurred to acquire an eligible asset, if the resulting exchange difference is regarded as an adjustment to interest costs, it is part of the borrowing cost and is capitalized as the cost of the asset.
(2) Foreign-currency items to which IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” applies are handled in accordance with the accounting policies for financial instruments.
(3) Regarding monetary items that form part of a reportable entity’s net investment in foreign operations, exchange differences arising therefrom are initially recognized in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.
When the gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any exchange gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, any exchange gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
18
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
- Translation of Foreign-currency Financial Statements
Each of the Company’s foreign operations determines its own functional currency and measures its financial statements in the functional currency accordingly. When the parent company-only financial statements were prepared, the assets and liabilities of the foreign operations were translated into NTD at the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Any exchange differences arising from translation were recognized in other comprehensive income. When the foreign operations were disposed of, the cumulative exchange differences previously recognized in other comprehensive income as an independent component of equity were reclassified from equity to profit or loss upon recognition of the gains or losses on disposal. When control, significant influence, or joint control over foreign operations is lost with some equity retained, it is still treated as disposal.
Regarding the partial disposal of a subsidiary with foreign operations (over which the control is not lost), the cumulative exchange difference recognized in other comprehensive income is adjusted in proportion through “investment using the equity method” and is not recognized in profit or loss. The partial disposal of an affiliate or a jointly controlled entity with foreign operations (over which the significant influence or joint control is not lost), when part of the disposal includes affiliated enterprises or jointly controlled entities of foreign operating institutions, the cumulative exchange difference is reclassified to profit or loss in proportion.
The goodwill generated from the Company’s acquisition of foreign operations and the fair value adjustments made to the carrying amounts of their assets and liabilities are treated as assets and liabilities of those foreign operations and reported in their functional currency.
- Criteria for Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets, otherwise they are non-current assets:
(1) Assets expected to be realized in the normal operating cycle or intended to be sold or consumed.
(2) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(3) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date;
(4) Cash or cash equivalents, excluding assets restricted from being exchanged or used to settle liabilities for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
19
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities, otherwise they are non-current liabilities:
(1) Liabilities expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
(2) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(3) Liabilities expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date;
(4) Does not have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the end of the reporting period.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term time deposits and investments that are highly liquid and readily convertible into a fixed amount of cash at any time with little risk of value changes.
- Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” are measured at fair value upon initial recognition; the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (except financial assets and financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities.
(1) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets
All of the Company’s regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
The Company classifies financial assets as those subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income, or at fair value through profit or loss based on the two bases below:
A. Business model for financial asset management
B. Contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets
Financial Assets at Amortized Cost
20
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
Financial assets that meet both of the following conditions are measured at amortized cost and presented as notes receivable, accounts receivable, financial assets measured at amortized cost, and other receivables on the balance sheet:
A. Business model for financial asset management: Holding financial assets to collect contractual cash flows.
B. Contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets: The cash flow is entirely the payment for principal and the interest on the outstanding principal.
Such financial assets (excluding those for hedging) are subsequently measured at the amortized cost (the amount measured upon initial recognition, less the principal repaid, plus or less the cumulative amortization of the differences between the initial amount and the due amount (the effective interest approach adopted), with the allowance for losses adjusted). The gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss upon derecognition, through the amortization process, or when an impairment gain or loss is recognized.
Interest accrued using an effective interest method (effective interest rate multiplied by the total book value of a financial asset) or based on the situations below is recognized in profit or loss:
A. In the case of a credit-impaired financial asset purchased or created, the credit-adjusted effective interest rate is multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial asset;
B. If it is not the case but subsequently becomes credit-impaired, the effective interest rate is multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial asset.
(2) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Asset Impairment
The Company’s investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortized cost are recognized as expected credit losses with an allowance for losses provided. An allowance for losses on an investment in a debt instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income without reducing the carrying amount of the investment.
21
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
The Company measures expected credit losses in a way that reflects the following:
A. An unbiased, probability-weighted amount determined by evaluating each potential outcome
B. Time Value of Money
C. Reasonable and Corroborative Information Related to Past Events, Present Conditions, and Future Economy Forecasts (which can be accessed without an excessive cost or investment on the balance sheet date)
The methods of measuring an allowance for losses are specified below:
A. Measured at 12-month expected credit losses: Including financial assets with the credit risk not increasing significantly since the initial recognition or those with an estimated low credit risk on the balance sheet date. Also, it includes an allowance for the lifetime expected credit losses during the prior reporting period, without meeting the indicator that the credit risk has significantly increased since the initial recognition on the balance sheet date of this period.
B. Measured at lifetime expected credit losses: Including financial assets with the credit risk increasing significantly since the initial recognition or credit-impaired financial assets purchased or created.
C. For accounts receivable or contract assets arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 15, the Company measures an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses.
D. For lease receivables arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 16, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
On each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly after the initial recognition by comparing the default risk of the financial instrument on the balance sheet date and the initial recognition date. Please refer to Note 12 for relevant credit risk information.
22
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(3) Derecognition of Financial Assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset held in the case of any of the following circumstances:
A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset have expired.
B. A financial asset is transferred with all the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of the asset substantially transferred to the counterparty.
C. All the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of the asset are neither substantially transferred nor retained, but the control over the asset is transferred.
When a financial asset as a whole is derecognized, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable plus any cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
(4) Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments
Classification of Liabilities and Equity
Liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity as per the substance of the agreement and the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
Equity Instruments
Equity instrument refers to any contract that demonstrates the Company's remaining interest in assets less all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the acquisition prices, less the direct issuance cost.
Hybrid Instruments
The Company recognizes the components of financial liabilities and equity for the convertible corporate bonds issued in accordance with the contractual terms. Also, for the issued convertible corporate bonds, before the equity elements are distinguished, whether the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded call and put options are closely related to the main debt products are assessed.
23
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
For the liability without derivatives involved, after the market interest rate assessment of the non-convertible bonds with similar fair values, the amount of the liability is classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost before conversion or redemption. Regarding the embedded derivatives with their economic characteristics and risks not closely related to the master contract (such as the embedded repurchase right and the redemption right with the exercise price confirmed to be unable to be almost equal to the amortized cost of the debt products on each exercise date), except for the equity component, they are classified as a liability component and measured at fair value through profit or loss after the balance sheet date. The amount of the equity component is determined at the fair value of the convertible corporate bonds less the liability component, and its book value is not remeasured in the period following the balance sheet date. If the issued convertible corporate bond does not include an equity element, it is handled as a hybrid instrument in accordance with IFRS 9.
Transaction costs are allocated to the liability and the equity components in proportion to the percentage of the initially recognized convertible corporate bonds allocated to the liability and the equity components.
When a holder of the convertible corporate bonds requests the exercise of their conversion right before the convertible corporate bonds matures, the carrying amount of the liability component shall be adjusted to the carrying amount that should have been upon conversion as the basis for accounting for ordinary shares issued.
Financial Liability
Financial liabilities that fall within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities at amortized cost upon initial recognition.
Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, including payables and borrowings, are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method after the initial recognition. When financial liabilities are derecognized and amortized with the effective interest rate method, the relevant gains or losses and amortizations are recognized in profit or loss.
The amortized cost is calculated with the discount or premium and the transaction cost upon acquisition taken into account.
24
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
When the obligations of financial liabilities are lifted, canceled, or expire, the financial liabilities are derecognized.
When the Company exchanges debt instruments with materially different terms with a creditor or significantly changes all or part of the terms of the existing financial liabilities (financial difficulties or not), the initial liabilities are derecognized and new liabilities are recognized. When a financial liability is derecognized, the difference between its carrying amount and the total consideration paid or payable (including the non-cash assets transferred or the liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(5) Offset of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities can only be offset and presented in the balance sheet as a net amount when the recognized amount is legally entitled to be offset with an intention to be settled in a net amount or realize the asset and settle the liability at the same time.
8. Derivatives
The derivatives held or issued by the Company are used to hedge the exchange rate risk, the interest rate risk, and commodity price risk. Among them, those designated to effectively hedge risks are recognized as derivative assets or liabilities for hedging purposes in the balance sheet; the remaining not designated to effectively hedge risks are presented in the balance sheet as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
A derivative is initially recognized at fair value on the date the derivative contract is signed and subsequently measured at fair value. When the fair value of the derivative is a positive figure, it is a financial asset; a negative figure, it is a financial liability. Any change in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in profit or loss; however, those with cash flow hedging involved and net investment in foreign operations with effective hedging are recognized under equity.
Where a master contract is about a non-financial asset or financial liability, if the economic characteristics and risks of the derivative embedded in the master contract are not closely related to the master contract, and the master contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss, the embedded derivative should be regarded as an independent derivative.

- Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is assumed that the sale of the asset or transfer of the liability takes place in one of the markets below when the fair value is measured:
(1) The principal market for the asset or liability, or
(2) If there is no principal market, the most favorable market for the asset or liability.
The principal or most favorable market should be accessible for the Company to trade.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
The fair value of a non-financial asset is measured based on market participants' ability to make the most of or put the asset to the best use or by selling the asset to another market participant who will make the most of or put the asset to the best use to generate economic benefits.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
- Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with an item-by-item comparison method.
Costs refer to the costs incurred in bringing inventories to a condition and location ready for sale or production:
Raw materials are valued at the actual purchase cost with a weighted average method.
Finished goods and works-in-process include direct raw materials, labor, and fixed manufacturing overhead apportioned based on normal production capacity, excluding the borrowing costs.
26
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
The net realizable value is calculated based on the estimated selling price, less the costs and selling expenses required till completion in the ordinary course of business.
The provision of services is handled in accordance with IFRS 15 outside the scope of inventories.
- Investments Using the Equity Method
As per Article 21 of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the Company’s investments in its subsidiaries are presented as “investments using the equity method” with necessary valuation adjustments made, to bring the current profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the parent company-only financial statements to be the same as the share of the current profit or loss and other comprehensive income attributable to the owners of the parent company in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis; and the owner’s equity in the parent company-only is the same as the equity attributable to the owners of the parent company in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis. Such adjustments are mainly made to the treatment of investments in subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and the differences in the application of IFRS by reportable entities at different levels, while being debited to or credited from “investments using the equity method,” “share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, affiliates, or joint ventures using the equity method,” or “share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, affiliates, or joint ventures using the equity method.”
The Company’s investments in affiliates are accounted for using the equity method, except for assets that are classified as assets held for sale. Affiliates refer to those on which the Company has significant influence. A joint venture refers to a type of arrangement whereby the Company has rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement (those with joint control).
Under the equity method, investments in associates or joint ventures are recorded on the balance sheet at cost plus the Company’s proportionate share of post-acquisition changes in the net assets of the associate or joint venture based on the Group’s ownership percentage. When the carrying amount of an investment in an associate or joint venture and other related long-term interests have been reduced to zero under the equity method, additional losses and liabilities are recognized to the extent that legal or constructive obligations have been incurred or payments have been made on behalf of the associate. Unrealized profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and its associates or joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associate or joint venture.
27
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
When changes in the equity of an associate or joint venture do not result from profit or loss and other comprehensive income items and do not affect the Company's ownership percentage, the Company recognizes its proportionate share of the related ownership interest changes. The capital surplus thus recognized is reclassified to profit or loss on a pro-rata basis when the associate or joint venture is subsequently disposed of.
When an associate or joint venture issues new shares and the Company does not subscribe in proportion to its ownership percentage, resulting in a change in the Company's ownership interest and a corresponding increase or decrease in the Company's share of the net assets of the associate or joint venture, such increase or decrease is adjusted accordingly through "Capital Surplus" and "Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method." When the proportion of investment decreases, the relevant items previously recognized in other comprehensive income will be reclassified to profit or loss or other appropriate accounts depending on the percentage of the decrease. The capital surplus recognized as described above is reclassified to profit or loss on a pro-rata basis when the associate or joint venture is subsequently disposed of.
The affiliates' or joint ventures' financial statements are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company's and adjusted to align their accounting policies with the Company's.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company determines whether there is any objective evidence of impairment of its investments in associates or joint ventures in accordance with IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures." If objective evidence of impairment exists, the Company calculates the impairment amount as the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture in accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets," and recognizes this amount in profit or loss related to the associate or joint venture. If the value in use of the investment is adopted for the above recoverable amount, the Company determines the relevant values in use based on the estimates below:
(1) The Company's share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by an associate or joint venture includes cash flows from the operations of the associate or joint venture and the proceeds from the ultimate disposal of the investment; or
(2) The present value of the estimated future cash flows from dividends from the investment that the Company expects to receive and the proceeds from the disposal of the investment.
28
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
Since goodwill included in the carrying amount of an investment in an associate or joint venture is not separately recognized, it is not subject to the impairment testing requirements for goodwill under IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets.”
When significant influence over an associate or joint control over a joint venture is lost, the Company measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Upon loss of significant influence or joint control, the difference between the carrying amount of the investment in the associate or joint venture and the fair value of the retained investment plus proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss. Also, when an investment in an affiliate becomes an investment in a joint venture, or when an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an affiliate, the Company continues to adopt the equity method without remeasuring the retained equity.
12. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are accounted for on the basis of acquisition cost and recognized after accumulated depreciation and impairment are deducted. The above costs include the cost of dismantling or removing of property, plant and equipment and restoring the location, and necessary interest expenses arising from unfinished projects. Each component of property, plant and equipment is depreciated separately if it is significant. When a major component of property, plant and equipment needs to be replaced regularly, the Company regards it as an individual asset and recognizes it separately with a specific useful life and depreciation method. The carrying amount of the replaced part should be derecognized in accordance with the requirement for derecognition under IAS 16 “Property, Plant and equipment.” If a major examination or repair cost meets the criteria for recognition, it is regarded as a replacement cost and recognized as part of the carrying amount of plant and equipment, while other repair and maintenance expenses are recognized in profit or loss.
Assets below are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives:
| Assets | Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Property and Buildings | 5–50 years |
| Machine equipment | 3–15 years |
| Transportation Equipment | 5–10 years |
| Office Equipment | 3–10 years |
| Leasehold Improvements | 3–10 years |
| Miscellaneous Equipment | 3–20 years |
29
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
An item of property, plant, and equipment, or any significant part initially recognized, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
The residual value, years of useful life, and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are assessed at the end of each fiscal year. If the expected value is different from the previous estimate, the change is considered a change in accounting estimates.
13. Investment Property
The Company's self-owned investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction cost of the property. The carrying amount of investment property includes the cost of repairing or adding to the existing investment property under the condition that the cost can be recognized; however, the repair or maintenance costs that usually occur on a daily basis are not included as part of the cost. After initial recognition, except for those meeting the criteria for being classified as those held for sale (or included in the disposal group classified as held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5 "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations"; as per IAS 16 "Property, Plant and equipment" regarding such a situation, if such an asset is held by the lessee as a right-of-use asset and is not held for sale as per IFRS 5, it is handled in accordance with IFRS 16.
Assets below are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives:
| Assets | Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 10–20 years |
Investment property is derecognized and recognized in profit or loss when it is disposed of or will never be used again without future economic benefits expected to be generated from the disposal.
The Company decides to transfer an asset in or out of investment property depending on the actual use of the assets.
When a property meets or no longer meets the definition of investment property with evidence showing that the purpose has changed, the Company will reclassify the property as investment property or transfer it out of investment property.

- Leasing
The Company assesses whether or not an arrangement is (or includes) a lease arrangement on the inception of the agreement. If an agreement transfers control over the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the agreement is (or includes) a lease arrangement. In order to assess whether the agreement transfers control over the use of the identified asset for a period of time, the Company assesses whether it meets both of the following conditions during the entire period of use:
(1) Obtaining the right to almost all economic benefits from the use of the identified asset; and
(2) The right to direct the use of the identified asset.
For the agreement that belongs to (or includes) a lease arrangement, the Company treats each lease component in the agreement as a separate lease and treats it separately from the non-lease component in the agreement. For the agreement that includes one lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Company adopts the relative standalone price of each lease component and the aggregate standalone prices of the non-lease components as the basis to distribute the consideration in the agreement to the lease component. The relative standalone prices of lease and non-lease components are determined on the basis of the prices charged by the lessor (or similar suppliers) for the components (or similar components). If an observable standalone price is not readily available, the Company maximizes the use of observable information to estimate the standalone price.
The Company as a Lessee
In addition to meeting and selecting short-term leases or leases of low-value underlying assets, when the Company is the lessee of a lease contract, all leases are recognized in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
The Company measures the lease liabilities on the inception date based on the present value of the lease payments not yet paid on that date. If the implied interest rate of the lease is easily determined, the lease payments will be discounted to their present value using that interest rate. If such interest rate is not easily determined, the incremental borrowing rate will be used. On the inception date, the lease payments included in the lease liabilities include the following payments related to the right to use the underlying assets during the lease period and not yet paid on that date:
(1) Fixed payment (including substantive fixed payment) less any lease incentives that can be collected;
31
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(2) Lease payment that depends on changes in an index or rate (using the index or rate on the inception date for initial measurement);
(3) The amount expected to be paid by the lessee under the residual value guarantee;
(4) The exercise price of the purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
(5) The penalty payable for the termination of a lease, if there is a sign that the lessee, in the lease period, will exercise the option of terminating the lease.
After the inception date, the Company measures the lease liabilities at amortized cost, and increases the carrying amount of the lease liabilities using the effective interest method to reflect the interest on the lease liabilities; the lease payments reduce the carrying amount of the lease liabilities.
On the inception date, the Company measures the right-of-use assets at cost. The cost of the right-of-use assets includes:
(1) The monetary amount of the lease liability initially measured;
(2) Any lease payments made on or before the inception date less any lease incentives received;
(3) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
(4) An estimate of costs to be incurred in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
Subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is presented after the cost less the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, i.e. the cost model is applied to measure the right-of-use assets.
If the ownership of the underlying asset is transferred to the Company when the lease period expires, or if the cost of the right-of-use assets reflects that the Company will exercise the call option, the right-of-use assets will be depreciated from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Company depreciates the right-of-use assets from the inception date to the end of the useful life of the right-of-use assets or to the expiration of the lease period, whichever is earlier.
The Company applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and to deal with any identified impairment losses.
32
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
In addition to meeting and selecting short-term leases or leases of low-value underlying assets, the Company presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet, and presents lease-related depreciation expenses and interest expenses separately in the statement of comprehensive income.
For short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, the Company chooses to adopt the straight-line basis or another systematic basis to recognize the lease payments related to said leases in expenses over the lease term.
The Company as a Lessor
The Company classifies each of its leases as operating leases or financial leases on the contract inception date. If a lease transfers almost all the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of the underlying asset, it is classified as a financial lease; if it does not transfer said matters, it is classified as an operating lease. On the inception date, the Company recognizes the assets held under the finance leases in the balance sheet and presents them as financial lease receivables based on the net lease investment.
For agreements that include lease components and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to distribute the consideration in the agreements.
The Company recognizes lease payments from operating leases as rental income on a straight-line basis or another systematic basis. For operating leases, lease payments that are not dependent on change in some index or rate are recognized as rental income when they occur.
15. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired through a business combination is the fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition of intangible assets, the carrying amount is the amount of the cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets that do not meet the recognition criteria shall not be capitalized, but shall be recognized in profit or loss when they occur.
The useful life of intangible assets is divided into limited and indefinite useful life.
33
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC. (Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
Intangible assets with a limited useful life are amortized over their useful life, and an impairment test is performed when there are signs of impairment. The amortization period and method of intangible assets with limited useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each fiscal year. If the estimated useful life of an asset is different from the previous estimate, or the expected pattern of future economic benefit consumption has changed, the amortization method or period will be adjusted and considered a change in accounting estimates.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but impairment tests are conducted to each asset or based on the level of cash-generating units each year. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are assessed in each period whether there are events and circumstances that continue to support that the asset's useful life is still indefinite. If the useful life is changed from indefinite to limited, the application will be applied prospectively.
The profit or loss arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset is recognized as profit or loss.
The Company's accounting policy for intangible assets is summarized as follows:
| Patents | Computer Software | Other Intangible Assets | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Useful Life | 13–20 years | 3–5 years | 2–10 years |
| Amortization Method | Straight-line | Straight-line | Straight-line |
| Method | Method | Method | |
| Internal Generation or External Acquisition | External | External | External |
| Acquisition | Acquisition | Acquisition |
- Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The Company at the end date of each reporting period assesses whether all assets subject to IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" are showing signs of impairment. If there is any indication of impairment or an impairment test is required for an asset on a regular basis each year, the Company tests the individual asset or the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If the carrying amount of an asset or the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs is greater than its recoverable amount in an impairment test, the impairment loss is recognized. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net fair value or value in use.
34
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses assets other than goodwill to see whether there are indications that the previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may be decreased. In the event of such an indication, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or cash-generating unit. If the recoverable amount is increased due to the change in the estimated service potential of the asset, the impairment amount is reversed. However, the reversed carrying amount shall not exceed that before recognizing impairment loss and after deducting depreciation or amortization.
The cash-generating unit or group to which the goodwill belongs, regardless of whether there are signs of impairment, is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis. If the result of an impairment test needs to be recognized as an impairment loss, the goodwill will be deducted first, and the amount after deduction will be allocated to other assets other than goodwill based on the relative proportion of the carrying amount. Once the impairment of goodwill is recognized, it shall not be reversed for any reason thereafter.
The impairment loss and reversal amount of the continuing operations are recognized in profit or loss.
- Provisions
Provisions are recognized when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. When the Company expects that some or all of the provisions can be reimbursed, only when the reimbursement is almost completely certain, it will be recognized as a separate asset. If the time value of money has a material impact, the provisions discounted at the current pre-tax interest rate can appropriately reflect the specific risks of the liability. When liability is discounted, the increase in the amount of liability due to the passage of time is recognized as a borrowing cost.

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
- Recognition of Revenue
The Company’s revenue from customer contracts mainly include the sale of goods and provision of services. The accounting treatments are specified below:
Product Sales
The Company manufactures and sells products and recognizes revenue when the promised products are delivered to the customer, and the customer obtains control over them (i.e. the customer’s ability to direct the use of the products and obtain almost all the remaining benefits from the products). Its main products are connectors and wires or cables, and sales revenue is recognized at the prices stated in the contracts.
The credit period for the Company’s products sold is 90 days. All contracts are recognized as accounts receivable when control over the products is transferred, with an unconditional right to receive consideration. Such accounts receivable are usually short-term and do not contain major financial components.
Provision of Services
The Company mainly provides processing services for connectors. Such services are individually priced or negotiated and recognized in revenue when the promised processed products are delivered to a customer and the customer obtains the control over them (i.e. the customer’s ability to guide the use of the products and obtain almost all the remaining benefits of the products).
- Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that can be directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualified assets are capitalized as part of the costs of the assets. All other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs include interest and other costs incurred in relation to borrowings.
- Post-employment Benefit Plan
The pension plan for the Company’s employees applies to all full-time employees. The employee pension fund is fully contributed to the Labor Pension Reserves Committee and deposited into the pension fund account. The aforementioned pension is deposited in the name of the Labor Pension Reserves Committee, which is completely separate from the Company, so it is not included in the parent company-only financial statements in the preceding paragraph. The pension plan for employees at overseas subsidiaries is handled in accordance with local laws and regulations.
36
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
For the defined contribution pension plan, the monthly pension payable rate of the Company shall not be less than 6% of the employees’ monthly salary, and the amount of the provision shall be recognized in current expenses. Overseas subsidiaries make contributions at specified local rates and recognize them in current expenses.
- Income Tax
Income tax expenses (benefits) refer to the sum related to current income tax and deferred tax included in the current profit or loss.
Current Income Tax
The current income tax liabilities (assets) related to the current and prior periods are measured at the legislated or substantially legislated tax rates and tax laws at the end of the reporting period. The current income tax related to the items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly recognized in the equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity instead of being recognized in the profit or loss
The additional corporate income tax on undistributed earnings is recognized as income tax expense on the date the shareholders’ meeting resolves the appropriation of earnings.
Deferred Tax
The deferred tax is calculated according to the temporary difference between the taxable amount of assets and liabilities and the carrying amount on the balance sheet at the end of the reporting period.
Except for the following two items, all taxable temporary differences are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities:
A. The initial recognition of goodwill; or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income (tax loss), and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences at the time of the transaction;
B. The taxable temporary difference arising from the investment in subsidiaries, associates, and joint equity. Also, the timing of reversal is controllable, and it is not likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future;
37
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
Except for the following two items, deductible temporary difference and deferred tax assets arising from the taxable losses and income tax credit are recognized within the range of probable future taxable income:
A. Deductible temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income (tax loss), and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences at the time of the transaction;
B. Deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint arrangements are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that they will reverse in the foreseeable future and that there will be sufficient taxable income available against which the temporary differences can be utilized when they reverse.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate of the expected asset realization or in the period in which the liability is settled. The tax rate is based on the legislated or substantially legislated tax rates and tax laws at the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences arising from the manner in which the asset is expected to be recovered or the book value of the liability is settled at the end of the reporting period. If the deferred tax is related to items that are not included in profit or loss, it will not be recognized in profit or loss but will be recognized in other comprehensive income according to the relevant transactions or directly recognized in equity. Deferred tax assets are reexamined and recognized at the end of each reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities can be legally offset against each other only in the current period, and the deferred tax is related to the same taxation entity and is related to the income tax levied by the same taxation authority.
In accordance with the temporary exemption provisions of "International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12)," deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes shall not be recognized, and related information shall not be disclosed.

V. Critical Accounting Judgments, Assumptions, and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
When the parent company-only financial statements are prepared by the Company, management must make judgments, estimates, and assumptions at the end of the reporting period, which will affect the disclosures of income, expenses, assets and liabilities, and contingent liabilities. However, the uncertainty of these significant assumptions and estimates may result in a significant adjustment to the book value of an asset or liability in the future period.
Estimation and Assumption
The main source of information on the estimation and assumption with uncertainty at the end of the reporting period has significant risks that result in significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next fiscal year. The explanations are given as follows:
- Inventories
The net realizable value of inventories is estimated based on the most reliable evidence of the expected realizable number of inventories available upon estimation by taking into account the fact that the inventory may be damaged or wholly or partially obsolete, or the selling price has dropped. Please refer to Note 6 for details.
- Fair Values of Financial Instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the balance sheet cannot be obtained from the active market, the fair value will be determined using evaluation techniques, including the income approach (such as cash flow discount model) or market approach. The changes in the assumptions of said approaches will affect the fair value of the financial instruments reported. Please refer to Note 12 for details.
39
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
- Income Tax
The uncertainty of income tax exists in the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Due to a wide range of international business relationships and the long-term and complexity of contracts, the differences between actual results and assumptions made, or changes in such assumptions in the future, may cause the booked income tax benefits and expenses to be adjusted in the future. The recognition of income tax is a reasonable estimation made according to the possible audit results of the local tax authorities of the countries in which the Company operates. The amount recognized is based on different factors, such as previous tax audit experience and the difference in tax law interpretation between the tax entity and the tax authority. The difference in interpretation may result in a variety of issues due to the local situation of the country where an individual enterprise of the Company operates.

The carryforwards of the taxable loss and income tax credit and deductible temporary differences are recognized as deferred tax assets within the range of probable future taxable income or taxable temporary differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets to be recognized is estimated according to the possible timing and level of the future taxable income and taxable temporary difference, and also the future tax planning strategy.

However, if the year's net income after tax does not reach 15% of the paid-in capital, the earnings may not be distributed. If the Company has no earnings available for the year, the cumulative undistributed earnings from the prior year may be distributed. When the shareholder bonus, legal reserve, or capital surplus mentioned above is paid in cash, the Board of Directors is authorized to act upon approval by two-thirds of the directors at a meeting attended by more than half of the directors, and the decision shall be reported to the shareholders' meeting.
As per the Company Act, the Company shall set aside a legal reserve unless its total amount has reached the amount of the total paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset a deficit. When the Company has no loss, the portion of the legal reserve that exceeds 25% of the paid-in capital may be used to distribute shares or cash to shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings.
When distributing the distributable earnings, the Company retroactively sets aside a special reserve for the difference between the balance of the special reserve and the net deduction of other equity items as per law when the IFRS is adopted for the first time. If there is a subsequent reversal of the net deduction of other equity, the special reserve may be reversed for the portion of the net deduction of other equity reversed to distribute earnings.
In accordance with the Letter Jin-Guan-Zheng- Fa No. 1090150022 issued by the FSC dated March 31, 2021, a special reserve shall be set aside for the unrealized revaluation gains and cumulative translation adjustment (gains), which were reclassified to retained earnings on the conversion date due to the adoption of exemptions under IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards" when IFRS was first adopted. When the Company uses, disposes of, or reclassifies the relevant assets later, it may reverse the portion of the special reserve in the same percentage to distribute earnings.

- Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Company’s financial risk management objectives are mainly to manage market, credit, and liquidity risks related to operating activities. The Company identifies, measures, and manages the above risks as per the Company’s policies and risk preferences.
The Company has established appropriate policies, procedures, and an internal control system in accordance with applicable regulations on the above financial risk management; important financial activities should be reviewed by the Board of Directors in accordance with applicable regulations and the internal control system. During the implementation of the financial management activities, the Company should comply with the applicable regulations on financial risk management.
- Market Risk
Market risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or cash flow of financial instruments due to the movements in market prices. The Company’s market risk primarily includes foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and other price risks (such as equity instruments).
In practice, one movement by a single change in risk variables is rare, and changes in risk variables are always interrelated; however, the sensitivity analysis of the following risks did not consider the interaction between relevant risks and variables.
Exchange Rate Risk
The Company’s exchange rate risk is mainly related to operating activities (when a currency used for income or expenses is different from the Company’s functional currency) and net investment in foreign operations.
68
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
The Company’s foreign-currency receivables and foreign-currency payables are partially in the same currency. Thus, there will be a natural hedging effect on part of the foreign-currency position. The exchange rate risk of certain foreign-currency payments is managed through forward exchange agreements. The natural hedging effect described above and the management of exchange rate risk through forward exchange agreements do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting; therefore, hedge accounting has not been adopted. Additionally, since the net investment in foreign operations is a strategic investment, the Company has not applied a hedging approach to it.
The sensitivity analysis of the Company’s exchange rate risk is mainly focused on the main foreign-currency monetary items on the end date of the financial reporting period. The Company’s exchange rate risk is mainly affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate of USD. The sensitivity analysis information is as follows:
When the NTD appreciates by 1% against the USD, the impact on the Company’s equity and profit or loss is as follows:
| Increase (decrease) in Equity | Gain (loss) | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $- | $(4,744) |
| 2024 | $- | $(4,637) |
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value of financial instruments or future cash flows due to the movements in market interest rates. The Company’s interest rate fluctuation risk is mainly from borrowings at floating and fixed rates.
The sensitivity analysis of the Company’s interest rate risk was mainly focused on the floating interest rates for borrowings on the end date of the financial reporting period. With an assumption that such borrowings are held for one fiscal year, when the market interest rate increased/decreased by 0.1%, the Company’s 2025 and 2024 profit or loss would have decreased/increased by NTD 763 thousand and NTD 960 thousand, respectively.

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
Equity Price Risk
The Group holds equity securities of listed and unlisted companies, the fair values of which are subject to uncertainty regarding the future value of the underlying investments. The Company holds equity securities of listed and unlisted companies, which are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company manages the price risk of equity securities by diversifying investments and setting limits for investments in single and overall equity securities. The information on the investment portfolio of equity securities should be regularly provided to the Company's senior management, and the Board of Directors should review and approve all decisions about investments in equity securities.
For listed equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss, a 1% increase/decrease in the prices of such securities would result in an increase/decrease in the Company's profit or loss of NTD 1,631 thousand and NTD 19 thousand for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
For listed equity securities included in equity instrument investments classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income, a 1% increase/decrease in the prices of such securities would result in an increase/decrease in the Company's equity of NTD 398 thousand and NTD 394 thousand for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The fair values of other equity instruments or derivatives linked to equity instruments belong to Level 3. Please refer to Note 12.8 for sensitivity analysis information.
4. Credit Risk Management
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss arising from default by counterparties on contract obligations. The Company's credit risk is derived from its operating activities (mainly from notes and accounts receivables) and financial activities (mainly from bank deposits and various financial instruments).
Each business unit adopts the Company's customer credit risk policies, procedures, and control measures to manage the customer credit risk. The credit risk assessment of all customers is based on factors such as the customers' financial position, ratings by credit rating agencies, historical trading experience from the past, current economic environment, and the Company's internal rating criteria. The Company also uses certain credit enhancement tools (such as loans and insurance) at appropriate times to reduce specific customers' credit risk.

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, receivables from the Company’s top ten customers accounted for 30.66% and 28.27% of the Company’s total receivables, respectively. There was no concentration of credit risk.
The Company’s finance department manages the credit risk of bank deposits, fixed-income securities, and other financial instruments in accordance with the Company’s policies. The Company’s counterparties are determined by internal control procedures, such as banks with good credit, financial institutions with investment-grade ratings, corporate organizations, and governmental agencies, and there is no major concern about their contract performance; hence, there is no significant credit risk.
- Liquidity Risk Management
The Company maintains financial flexibility through cash and cash equivalents, highly liquid securities, bank borrowings, convertible corporate bonds, and financing or leasing contracts. The table below summarizes the maturity of the payments contained in the contracts of the Company’s financial liabilities. It is compiled based on the earliest possible date for repayment and its undiscounted cash flow. The amounts listed also include the agreed interest. For the interest cash flow paid at floating interest rates, the undiscounted amount of interest is derived from the yield curve at the end of the reporting period.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments
(1) Valuation Techniques and Assumptions Adopted to Measure the Fair Values
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities were the amounts in which the instruments were bought or sold in real time with willing parties (rather than by force or through liquidation). The methods and assumptions adopted by the Company to estimate the fair values of its financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:
A. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and other current liabilities are reasonable approximations of their carrying amounts, mainly due to the short durations of such instruments.
Notes to the Parent Company-Only Financial Statements of K.S. TERMINALS INC.
(Continued)
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
B. As there is no active market for stocks of non-TWSE/TPEx listed companies, the fair values thereof were estimated using the market approach. The estimation was made based on recent fundraising activities, values of companies of the same types and scales, company technology development, market conditions, and other economic indicators.
C. The Company signed derivative financial instrument agreements with different counterparties, who are mainly financial institutions with great credit ratings. Derivative financial instruments valuated using valuation techniques based on observable inputs in the market are mainly forward exchange agreements.
D. Regarding debt instrument investments without quoted prices in an active market, bank borrowings, and other non-current liabilities, the fair values are determined based on the counterparties' quotes or valuation techniques. The valuation techniques are based on discounted cash flow analysis; the assumptions about interest rates and discount rates are made with reference to on similar instruments (such as the Taipei Exchange's yield curves for reference, the average quotes of Reuters commercial paper interest rates, and credit risks).
E. As for derivative financial instruments without quoted prices in an active market, if they are non-option derivatives, their fair values are determined based on the counterparties' quotes or the yield curves that apply during the duration of the discounted cash flow analysis; if they are option derivatives, the fair values are determined based on counterparties' quotes, appropriate option pricing models (such as Black-Scholes) or other valuation approaches (such as Monte Carlo Simulation).
(2) Fair Values of Financial Instruments at Amortized Cost
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost approximate their fair values.
(3) Information on the Financial Instrument Fair Value Hierarchy
Please refer to Note 12.8 for information on the Company's financial instrument fair value hierarchy.

- Derivatives
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not hold any derivatives that did not qualify for hedge accounting and had not yet matured.
- Fair Value Hierarchy
(1) Fair Value Hierarchy Definitions
All assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are the lowest level inputs, which are important to the overall fair value measurement, classified to the fair value levels to which they belong. The input at each level is as follows:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted market prices within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for assets or liabilities.
Level 3: The unobservable input value of an asset or liability.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a repetitive basis, the classification is re-evaluated at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is a transfer between the fair value levels.
(2) Information on Hierarchy of Fair Value Measurement
The Company does not have assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The information on the fair value levels of assets and liabilities on a recurring basis is shown below:
As of December 31, 2025:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets at Fair Value: | ||||
| Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss – funds | $709,702 | $- | $- | $709,702 |

The Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during 2025 and 2024 were not transferred between Level 1 and Level 2.
Details of Movements in Level 3 Fair Values
If the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that belong to Level 3 fair value, the reconciliation of the balances from the beginning of the period through the end of the period is listed as follows:

Evaluation Process for Level 3 Fair Value
The Company’s Finance Department is responsible for fair value verification, using data from independent sources to bring the valuation results closer to the market, confirming that the sources of the data are independent, reliable, consistent with other sources, and represent executable prices, while analyzing the changes in the value of assets and liabilities that must be remeasured or revaluated in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies at each balance date, to ensure that the valuation results are reasonable.
