Independent Auditors’ Report
To Laster Tech Co., Ltd.:
Audit opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Laster Tech Co., Ltd. (the “Company“), which comprise the parent company only balance sheet for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the parent company only statements changes in equity and cash flows for January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023, and notes to the parent company only financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies).
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis of Audit Opinion
We have conducted the audit according to the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Unconsolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the R.O.C. and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to express an opinion.
Key Audit Matters
The key audit matters refer to the matters considered by the auditors to be most significant for the auditing of 2024 Parent Company Only Financial Statements of the Company according to the professional determination thereof. These matters were addressed in the context of our
- 3 -
audit of the unconsolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the 2024 Parent Company Only Financial Statements of the Company are stated as follows:
Recognition of sales revenue
In 2024, the sales revenue of the Company from major customers was NT$2,475,347 thousand, accounting for 90.71% of the total sales revenue. The impact on the parent company only financial statements is material; hence we have identified the occurrence of such revenue recognition as a key audit matter. For the accounting policy for revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4.
The audit procedures we performed included:
-
To understand and test the design and the implementation of effectiveness concerning internal controls relevant to the above revenue recognition.
-
Select samples and examine the sales revenue of major customers, and review the original orders and related shipping documents.
-
Send letters to inquiry about the balance of accounts receivable of the above main customers at the end of the period. If no reply is received, check the collection status of such accounts.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements free from materials misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the management is also responsible for assessing the ability of the Company 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 in charge with governance (including the Auditing Committee) are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
- 4 -
error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing principles generally accepted will always detect a material misstatement in the parent company only financial statements when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. These 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing principles, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the unconsolidated financial statements due to fraud or error, design and adopt appropriate countermeasures for the risks assessed, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidences in order to be used as the basis for the opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company and their ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements (including the notes to the statements), and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
5 -
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit, and we are responsible for forming an audit opinion on Laster Tech Co., Ltd.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit).
We also provide those in charge 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 the most significance in the audit of the Company’s 2024 parent company only financial statements 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.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- (1) Statement of Compliance
The parent company only financial statements were compiled in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
(2) Basic of Preparation
Except for the financial instruments measured at fair value and the fair value of the planned assets less the net defined benefit assets recognized at the present value of defined benefit obligations, the parent company only financial statements were prepared on the basis of historical cost.
Fair value measurements are classified into Level 1, 2 and 3 based on the degree to which an input is observable and the significance of the input:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2 inputs are 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 are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
When preparing company only financial statements, the Company uses the equity method to account for its investment in subsidiaries. To align the profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity of the year in the parent company only financial statements with the profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity of the year attributable to the owner of the Company in the parent company only financial statements, the differences between the accounting treatments under the separate and consolidated bases were treated through adjustment of related equity items, including “investment under the equity method”, “share of profit/loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures under the equity method”, “share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures”.
(3) Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
-
Current assets include:
-
Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
17 -
-
Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date; and
-
Cash and cash equivalent (unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the date of statement of financial position).
Current liabilities include:
-
Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
Liabilities expected to be settled within twelve months after the maturity of the debt (even if the liability at the date of statement of financial position to complete the long-term refinancing prior to the financial statements or reschedule payment agreement), and
-
Liabilities without sustainable right for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
Assets or liabilities that are not the above-mentioned current assets or current liabilities are classified as non-current assets or non-current liabilities. For liabilities may be settled by transferring the equity instruments of the consolidated company based on the choice of the counterparty, if the Company classified the option as equity instrument, the terms of the liability shall not affect the classification of the liability as current or non-current.
- (4) Foreign currency
During preparation of the parent company only financial statements, transactions using currencies other than the parent company only functional currency (foreign currencies) are stated in the functional currency at the exchange rate on the date of transaction.
Monetary foreign currency items are translated at the closing exchange rate on each balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from settlement or translation of the monetary items are recognized as profit or loss in the current period.
Non-monetary foreign currency items measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate on the date of determining the fair value, and the exchange differences resulting therefrom are recognized as profit or loss in the current period. However, when changes in the fair value are recognized as other comprehensive income, the exchange differences arising therefrom are stated as the same.
- 18 -
Non-monetary foreign currency items measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate on the date of transaction and are not retranslated.
During preparation of the parent company only financial statements, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations (including the subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures or branches with countries in which they operate or currencies they use different from those of the Company) are translated into NTD at the exchange rate on each balance sheet date. Their profit and expense/loss items were translated at the average exchange rate of the period, and the exchange differences resulting therefrom were recognized in other comprehensive income.
If the Company disposes of all interests in a foreign operation, or disposes of a part of the interests of a subsidiary of a foreign operation and loses control, and the retained interests are financial assets, they shall be treated in accordance with the accounting policy for financial instruments. The accumulated exchange differences related to the foreign operation shall be reclassified to profit or loss.
If the partial disposal of a foreign operation's subsidiary does not result in a loss of control, the accumulated exchange difference shall not be recognized in profit or loss on a pro rata basis. In the case of any other partial disposal of a foreign operation, the accumulated exchange differences shall be reclassified to profit or loss in proportion to the disposal.
(5) Inventories
Inventories include raw materials, finished goods, work-in-progress, and merchandise. The inventory is measured based on the lower of the cost or net realizable value. The cost and the net realizable value are compared on the basis of the individual items except for the inventories of the same type. Net realizable value refers to the estimated selling price in a normal situation less the completed work and the estimated cost needed to complete the sale. The weighted average method is used to calculate the inventory cost.
(6) Investment in subsidiaries
The Company accounts for its investment in subsidiaries using the equity method.
A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has control.
Under the equity method, an investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss of the subsidiary after the date of acquisition and other comprehensive
- 19 -
income or loss and profit distribution. In addition, changes in the Company’s other interests in subsidiaries are recognized in proportion to the shareholding.
Changes to the Company’s equity ownership in the subsidiaries are treated as equity transactions if the changes do not result in loss of control. The difference between the carrying amount of investments and the fair value of any paid or received consideration is directly recognized as equity.
When the Company's share of losses on a subsidiary equals or exceeds its equity in the subsidiary (including the carrying amount of the subsidiary under the equity method and other long-term interests that in substance form part of the Company's net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues to recognize the losses based on the shareholding ratio.
The excess of the acquisition cost in excess of the Company's share of the net fair value of the subsidiaries' identifiable assets and liabilities that constitute a business on the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill. The goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment and shall not be amortized. The excess of the share of net identifiable assets and liabilities net fair value of the subsidiaries constituting the business on the date of acquisition is recognized as the current income.
The Company assesses impairment by considering the cash-generating units as a whole in the financial statements and comparing their recoverable amounts with their carrying amounts. If the recoverable amount of an asset increases in a subsequent period, the reversal of the impairment loss is recognized as a gain, provided that the carrying amount of the asset after the reversal of the impairment loss does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset, less amortization. Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill in a subsequent period is prohibited
When the Company loses control over a subsidiary, its remaining investment in the above subsidiary is measured at the fair value on the date when the control is lost. The fair value of the remaining investment and the difference between any disposal price and the carrying amount of the investment on the date when the control is lost are included in profit or loss for the period. In addition, the Company accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income or loss related to the subsidiary on the amounts in other comprehensive income are according to the same accounting treatment basis as the direct disposal of the related assets or liabilities.
- 20 -
Unrealized gains or losses from downstream transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated in the parent company only financial statements. Gains or losses arising from upstream and side-stream transactions with subsidiaries are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent that they are not related to the Company’s interest in the subsidiary.
(7) Property, plant and equipment
The property, plant, and equipment are recognized in accordance with the cost and subsequently measured based on the cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The property, plant, and equipment under construction are recognized based on the cost net of accumulated impairment losses. The cost included professional service fees and the loan costs eligible for capitalization. Once the assets are completed and ready for their intended use, the assets are classified as appropriate items under property, plant and equipment, and the depreciation of the assets starts.
Except for the self-owned land that is not depreciated, the remaining properties, plants, and equipment are separately depreciated on the straight-line basis over its useful life. The Company reviews the estimated useful life, residual value and method of depreciation at least on the end day of each year and prospectively recognizes the effect of changes in accounting estimates.
For derecognition of the property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the asset book value is recognized as profit or loss.
(8) Intangible assets
1. Acquired separately
Intangible assets with limited useful life acquired separately are initially measured in accordance with the cost and subsequently based on the cost net of accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortized on the straight-line basis over its useful life. The Company reviews the estimated useful life, residual value and method of amortization at least on the end day of each year and prospectively recognizes the effect of changes in accounting estimates. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are recognized based on the cost net of accumulated impairment losses.
-
Derecognition
-
21 -
For derecognition of the intangible assets, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the asset book value is recognized as profit or loss of the period.
(9) Impairments of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets
The Company assesses whether there are any signs indicating that any property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) may be impaired on each balance sheet date. If there is any of such signs, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. When the recoverable amount of individual assets cannot be estimated, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
For intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and not yet available for use, impairment testing is conducted at least once a year and whenever there is a sign of impairment.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs of sale and the value in use. When the recoverable amount of any individual assets or cash-generating units is less than the book value, the book value of the individual assets or cash-generating units is adjusted down to the recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognized as profit or loss.
When the impairment loss is reversed subsequently, the book value of the asset, cash-generating unit or contract cost-related assets is adjusted up to the revised recoverable amount. However, the increased book value does not exceed the book value (less the amortization or depreciation) determined under the circumstance that the impairment loss of the assets, cash-generating unit or contract cost-related assets is not recognized in the previous year. The reversal of the impairment loss is recognized as profit or loss.
(10) Financial Instruments
All financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
At initial recognition, a financial asset or financial liability at shall be measured at its fair value. In the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition
- 22 -
or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- Financial assets
Regular transactions of financial assets are recognized and derecognized based on the accounting on the transaction date.
- (1) Measurement category
Financial assets held by the Company are those measured at amortized cost and financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are
-
mandatorily to be measured at fair value through profit and loss.
The financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Their dividends and interests generated therefrom are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively. The gains or losses arising from the remeasurement are recognized in other gains and losses. For the determination of fair value, please refer to Note 28.
- B. Financial assets measured at amortized cost
When the Company’s invested financial assets meet both of the following two conditions, they are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost:
-
a. Where the financial assets are held under certain business model, and the purpose of such model is to hold the financial assets in order to collect contract cash flows; and
-
b. Where contract terms generated cash flow of specific date, and such cash flow is completely for the payment of the interest of principle and external circulating principle amount.
After the initial recognition, the financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables (including related parties), other financial assets and refundable deposits) are measured based on the amortized cost equal to the total book value
- 23 -
determined under the effective interest method less any impairment losses, and any profit or loss from foreign currency exchange is recognized as profit or loss.
Except for the following two circumstances, the interest income is calculated as the effective interest rate times the total book value of financial assets:
-
a. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the interest income is calculated as the credit-adjusted effective interest rate times the amortized cost of the financial assets.
-
b. For financial assets originally not purchased or originated credit-impaired but subsequently becoming credit-impaired, the interest income is calculated as the effective interest rate times the amortized cost of the financial assets in the next reporting period after the credit impairment.
-
(2) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses impairment losses on financial assets (including accounts receivable) measured at amortized cost on the basis of expected credit losses at each balance sheet date.
Allowances for losses on accounts receivable are recognized on the basis of expected credit losses over the life of the leases. Whether the credit risk on other financial assets significantly increases shall be first assessed after the initial recognition. When the increase is not significant, the allowance for losses for the financial assets is recognized based on the 12-month expected credit losses; when the increase is significant, it is recognized on the basis of expected credit losses over the life of the receivables.
The expected credit losses are the average credit losses weighted by the risk of default. 12-month expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses on financial instruments from any potential default within 12 months after the reporting date. Lifetime-expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses on financial instruments from any potential default during the expected lifetime.
- 24 -
For the purpose of internal credit risk management, the Company, without considering the collateral held, determines that the following situations represent a default on the financial assets:
-
A. There is internal or external information indicating that it is impossible for the debtor to pay off the debt.
-
B. Overdue for more than 365 days unless there is reasonable and corroborative information showing that the delayed default standard is more appropriate.
The impairment loss on all financial assets is deducted from the book value of the financial assets through allowance accounts. However, the allowance for losses of the investment in liability instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized as other comprehensive income, and the book value thereof is not reduced.
- (3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets become invalid, or the financial assets and almost all the risks and returns over the ownership of the financial assets are transferred to other companies.
For removal of the entire financial assets measured at amortized cost, the differences between the book value and the received consideration are recognized in profit or loss.
2. Equity instruments
The debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity based on the definition of real and financial liabilities as well as equity instruments under the terms and conditions of the contracts.
The equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized based on the payment net of the direct cost of issuance.
When a reacquired equity instrument is originally owned by the Company, the re-acquisition is recognized as a deduction from equity. Purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the equity instruments owned by the Company are not recognized as profit or loss.
-
Financial liabilities
-
25 -
(i) Subsequent measurement
Except for the following conditions, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using effective interest method. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss include those held for transactions.
Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value. The relevant gains or losses are recognized in other gains and losses/interests generated therefor are recognized in financial costs. Other remeasured gains or losses are recognized in other gains and losses.
For the fair value determination method, please refer to Note 28.
(ii) Derecognition of financial liabilities
For derecognition of financial liabilities, the differences between the book value and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred and any liabilities assumed) are recognized as profit or loss.
- Convertible bonds
The compound instruments (convertible bonds) issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the component parts be accounted for and presented separately according to their substance based on the definitions of liability and equity, at the time of initial recognition.
On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate of interest for a similar non-convertible instrument. Amortized cost is calculated using the effective interest method until the date of conversion or maturity. The liability component that is embedded in non-equity derivatives is measured at fair value.
The conversion right classified as equity is equal to the remaining amount of the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole less the fair value of the separately determined liability component. The amount is recognized as equity, net of income tax effect, and is not subsequently measured. When the conversion right is exercised, the related liability component and the amount in equity is transferred to equity and capital surplus - issuance premium. If the
- 26 -
conversion right of convertible bonds is not exercised on the maturity date, the amount recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - other.
Transaction costs of issue of convertible bonds are allocated to the liabilities (accounted for in the carrying amount of the liability) and the equity components (accounted for in equity) of the instrument in proportion to the total apportioned price.
The conversion rights included in the convertible corporate bonds issued by the Company are not the conversion rights of the equity instruments of the consolidated company that are settled with a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets exchanged for a fixed number of fixed amounts; therefore, they are classified as derivative financial liabilities.
At the time of initial recognition, the derivative financial liabilities of convertible corporate bonds are measured at fair value, and the carrying amount of non-derivative financial liabilities is the balance after the separation of the embedded derivatives. Subsequently, non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, and derivative financial liabilities are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. The related transaction costs of the convertible corporate bonds are allocated to the non-derivative financial liabilities of the instrument based on the proportion of the relative fair value (recognized in book value of the liabilities) and the derivative financial liabilities (recognized in profit or loss).
(11) Revenue Recognition
The Company allocates the transaction price to performance obligations after the performance obligations are identified in the customer contract. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied.
- Income from Sales of Goods
Revenue from merchandise sales is generated from the sales of LED automotive lighting modules, LED chips, LED components, and LED lighting fixtures and lighting controllers. The revenue and accounts receivable are recognized at that point of time once the merchandise is delivered to the customer-designated location that the customer is entitled to the products’ price determination and right of use, and has the main responsibility to resell the merchandise, and takes the risk that the products might become outdated.
- 27 -
2. Service revenue
The service revenue comes from the service of purchasing raw materials on behalf of others.
The Company provides services to purchase raw materials on behalf of subsidiaries. Before the inventories are transferred to subsidiaries, the Company does not acquire the control over the inventories and is not held responsible regarding whether the inventories will be accepted by the subsidiaries. In addition, before subsidiaries place their orders, the Company does not commit to purchasing inventories; therefore, there is no inventory risk. The Company provides raw material purchase services on behalf of others as an agent, and the net revenue is recognized after the control over the inventories is transferred to subsidiaries and there is no subsequent obligation.
(12) Lease
The Company assesses whether an agreement is (or contained) a lease on the date of entering into the agreement.
The Company as lessee
The lease payment from the leases of low-value underlying assets to which the exemption of recognition is applied and short-term lease is recognized as expenses on the straight-line basis over the lease term, while right-of-use assets and lease liabilities with respect to other leases are recognized on the lease commencement date.
The right-of-use assets are initially measured based on the cost (refers to the initial recognized amount of lease liabilities) and subsequently measured based on the cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, and then the remeasurement of the lease liabilities is adjusted. The right-of-use assets are separately presented in the parent company only balance sheet.
The right-of-use assets are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the period from the lease commencement date to the expiration of the useful life or the lease term, whichever is sooner.
The lease liabilities are initially measured based on the present value of lease payments (fixed payments). If the interest rate implicit in a lease could be readily determined, the lease payments were discounted at the interest rate. When such interest rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of interest is used.
- 28 -
Subsequently, the lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost under the effective interest method, and the interest expenses are amortized over the lease term. When any changes in the lease term cause changes in future lease payments, the right-of-use assets are adjusted accordingly. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement shall be recognized in profit or loss A lease liability is recorded as separate line item on the parent company only balance sheet.
(13) Borrowing Cost
The cost of borrowing that can be directly attributable to the assets for which acquisition, building or production meet the requirements is part of the cost of such assets until almost all the required activities for them to reach the intended status of use or sale are completed.
The income earned from temporary investment by using certain loans before the occurrence of capital expenses meeting the requirements is deducted from the cost of borrowing that meets the requirements of capitalization.
Otherwise, all the costs of borrowing are recognized as profit or loss in the year in which the borrowing occurred.
(14) Employee Benefits
- Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities related to short-term employee benefits are measured at non-discounted amount expected to be paid against the services to be provided by the employees.
- Post-employment benefits
Every pension fund contributed under the defined pension contribution plan is recognized as expenses during the period when employees provide services.
Defined retirement benefit costs (including service costs, net interest, and remeasurement) under the defined retirement benefit plan are calculated actuarially using the projected unit credit method. Service costs (including current and previous service costs) and net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized in employee benefit expenses when they are incurred. Remeasurement (including actuarial profits or losses and return on plan assets net of interest) is recognized in other comprehensive income and
- 29 -
presented in retained earnings when it occurs. It is not reclassified as profit or loss in the subsequent periods.
Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the contribution deficit (surplus) in the defined retirement benefit plan. Net defined benefit assets shall not exceed the present value of contribution refunded from the defined retirement benefit plan or future deductible contribution.
- (15) Share-based Payment Arrangements
Issuance of employee stock options
Employee stock options are recognized as expenses based on the fair value of equity instruments on the grant date and the best estimate of the vested amount on the straight-line basis over the vesting period, while the capital reserve -employee stock options shall be adjusted. If the amount is immediately vested on the grant date, it is recognized as expenses on that date. The Company may reserve employee share options. The grant date is the date of shares subscribed by employees.
(16) Income tax
The income tax expenses are the total of current and deferred taxes.
- Current tax
The Company determines the current revenue (loss) in accordance with the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where the income tax returns are filed and, with this as a basis, calculates the income tax payable (receivable).
The additional income tax on undistributed earnings calculated according to the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China is recognized in the year when the related resolution is made at the shareholders’ meeting.
The adjustments to the income tax payable in the previous year are recognized in the current income tax.
- Deferred tax
The deferred taxes are calculated based on the temporary difference between the book value of assets and liabilities in the book and the tax base for calculation of taxable income.
The general principle is that a deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of income tax credits arising from temporary differences can be utilized.
- 30 -
Taxable temporary differences generated from investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements are recognized in deferred tax liabilities except where the Company can control the timing of reversal of the taxable temporary differences, and where such differences are not likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deductible temporary differences related to such investment are recognized, to the extent that they are expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future, as deferred tax assets only when we are likely to have taxable income adequate to realize the temporary differences.
The book value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date. When any of the deferred tax assets is not likely to have taxable income adequate to return all or part of the assets anymore, the book value thereof is reduced. Those that are not originally recognized as deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. When any of those is likely to generate taxable income adequate to return all or part of the assets in the future, the book value thereof is increased.
The deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate of the period in which the liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or realized. The tax rate is subject to the tax rate and tax laws legislated or substantively legislated on the balance sheet date. The deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured to reflect the tax on the balance sheet date arising from the method that the Company excepts to use to recover or settle the book value of the liabilities and assets.
- Current and deferred income tax
The current and deferred taxes are recognized as profit or loss other than those related to the titles stated as other comprehensive income or as equity directly, which are recognized in other comprehensive income separately or in equity directly.
V. Major sources of uncertainty in significant accounting judgments, estimates, and
assumptions
For adoption of the accounting policies, management must make judgments, estimates and assumptions related to the information that cannot be readily acquired from other sources based on historical experience and other relevant factors. The actual results may differ from those estimates.
- 31 -
The Company will incorporate possible impacts of inflation and market interest rate fluctuation into consideration during the development of material accounting estimates and will include the estimates for cash flow projects, growth rates, discount rates and profitability. Management will continue to review estimates and underlying assumptions.
The accounting policies, estimates and basic assumptions adopted by the Company have been evaluated by the management of the Group and are free of significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions uncertainty.

Accounts receivable
The Company's average credit period for merchandise sales is 30 to 150 days, and no interest is accrued on accounts receivable. To mitigate credit risk, the Company’s management shall assign dedicated personnel to be responsible for the determination of credit limit, credit approval and other monitoring procedures in order to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to collect overdue accounts receivable. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis on the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been
- 33 -
provided for non-recoverable accounts receivable. Accordingly, the management of the Company believes that the Company's credit risk has been significantly reduced.
Allowances for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of expected credit losses over the life of the receivables. The lifetime expected credit losses are calculated based on the allowance matrix with reference to each customer’s past default history, current financial position, and industrial economic situation, as well as the GDP forecast and industry outlook. The Company's historical credit loss experience shows that there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups. Therefore, instead of further differentiating the customer groups, the allowance matrix only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the number of days past due on accounts receivable.
If there is evidence that a counterparty is facing serious financial difficulties and the Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, the Company will directly write off the relevant trade receivables, but will continue to try to collect the receivable. The recovered amount is recognized in profit or loss.
The allowance for loss of accounts receivable measured by the Company based on the allowance matrix is as follows:

The Company is exposed to the following risks due to the pension system under the “Labor Standards Act”:
-
Investment risk: The pension funds are invested in domestic and foreign equity securities, debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau of Labor Funds’ designated
-

authorities or under the mandated management. However, the distributable amount of plan assets of the Company shall not be less than the return calculated by the average interest rate on a two-year time deposit published by the local banks.
-
Interest rate risk: A decrease in the interest rates of government bonds and corporate bonds leads to increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the return on debt investment of the plan assets will be increased accordingly. The net defined benefit liabilities may be partially offset by both increases.
-
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated with reference to the future salary of the plan participants. Therefore, the present value of the defined benefit obligation will be increased due to an increase in the plan participants’ salary.
The Company’s present value of the defined benefit obligation was calculated actuarially by a qualified actuary. The major assumptions on the date of measurement are as follows:
| are as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate Anticipated salary increase rate |
December 31,2024 1.50% 2.00% |
December 31,2023 |
| 1.25% 2.00% |
If there were any reasonably possible changes to the major actuarial assumptions separately, the resulting increase (decrease) in the present value of the defined benefit obligation in the situation where all the other assumptions remained the same is as follows:
| the same is as follows: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Discount rate Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% Anticipated salary increase rate Increase by 1% Decrease by 1% |
December 31,2024 ($ 219) $ 227 $ 941 ($ 847) |
December 31,2023 | |
| ( ( |
( ( |
$ 275) $ 286 $ 1,189 $ 1,041) |
Since the actuarial assumptions might be correlated to each other, and it was unlikely that the changes were only in a single assumption, the aforesaid sensitivity analysis might not reflect the actual changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The payment principle of dividends to shareholders is subject to a balanced dividend policy of stock dividends and cash dividends, with the distribution ratio of cash dividends not less than 10% of the total dividends to be distributed to shareholders.
The legal reserve shall be appropriated until the balance reaches the Company’s total paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to cover losses. If the Company does not incur a loss, the part of the legal reserves that exceeds the total paid-in capital by 25% may be appropriated as capital or distributed by cash.

- (4) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s main financial instruments include investments in equity instruments, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, corporate bonds payable, loans and lease liabilities. The Company’s financial management department provides services to each business unit and coordinates access to financial markets according to the level and breadth of risk in order to monitor and manage financial risks in relation to the Company’s operations. These risks include market risk (including exchange rate risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
- Market risk
The major financial risks that the operating activities imposed on the Company is the foreign exchange rate risk (as described in (1) below) and interest rate risk (as described in (2) below).
- (i) Exchange rate risk
The Company engages in foreign currency-denominated sales and import transactions, exposing the Company to exchange rate fluctuations.
For the carrying amounts of the Group’s monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies as of the balance sheet date, please refer to Note 32.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company is primarily affected by exchange rate fluctuations in the USD and RMB.
The following table consist of details of an analysis of the Company’s sensitivity when the exchange rate of New Taiwan dollar (functional currency) increases and decreases by 1%. This 1% is the sensitivity ratio used by the Company when reporting the exchange rate risk to key management. It also indicates the assessment of management of the reasonably possible range of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only foreign currency monetary
- 62 -
items in circulation and 1% of their year-end translation is adjusted in exchange rates. The amounts in the following table represent the increase (decrease) in net income before tax when NTD depreciates by 1% against each relevant currency; when NTD appreciates by 1% against each relevant currency, the effect on the income before tax is represented with a negative number of the same amount.
E f f e c t o f U S D E f f e c t o f R M B E f f e c t o f E u r o 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023[ ($ 6,162)(Note ] ($ 5,744)(Note Profit or loss 1) 1) ($ 1,120)(Note 2) ($ 368)(Note 2) ($ 248)(Note 3) ($ 457)(Note 3)
-
Note 1: The profit or loss was mainly generated from the Company’s USD-denominated bank deposits, receivables, short-term loans and payables which were outstanding on the balance sheet date and were not hedged against the cash-flow risk.
-
Note 2: The profit or loss was mainly generated from the Company’s RMB-denominated bank deposits, receivables, and payables which were outstanding on the balance sheet date and were not hedged against the cash-flow risk.
-
Note 3: The profit or loss was mainly generated from the Company’s Euro-denominated receivables, and payables which were outstanding on the balance sheet date and were not hedged against the cash-flow risk.
The Company's sensitivity to the USD exchange rate increased in the current year was mainly due to the increase in sales denominated in USD, resulting in an increase in bank deposits and receivables denominated in USD. The increase in sensitivity to RMB in the current year was due to the increase in sales denominated in RMB, resulting in an increase in receivables denominated in RMB. The decrease in sensitivity to Euro in the current year was due to the decrease in sales denominated in Euro, resulting in a decrease in receivables denominated in Euro.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The interest rate risk exposure occurs as the Company borrows funds at the floating rates at the same time. The Company pays attention to changes in market interest rates to manage interest rate risk.
- 63 -
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk as of the balance sheet date are as follows:
| date are as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| With fair value interest rate risk - Financial assets - Financial liabilities With cash flow interest rate risk - Financial assets - Financial liabilities |
December 31,2024 $ 497,654 2,487,361 614,632 980,491 |
December 31,2023 |
| $ 172,494 1,767,487 412,554 969,349 |
Sensitivity analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposure of the non-derivative instruments on the balance sheet date. As for the liabilities at floating interest rate, the analysis is made with the assumption that the outstanding liability amount on the balance sheet date is completely in circulation during the reporting period. The variable interest rate used by the Company when reporting the interest rate to the key management is the interest rate plus or minus 1%. It also indicates the assessment of management on the reasonable potential fluctuation of the interest rate.
If the interest rate increased/decreased by 1%, with all other variables held constant, the net income before tax of the Company in 2024 and 2023 would decrease by NT$3,659 thousand and NT$5,568 thousand, respectively.
The Company’s sensitivity to interest rates decreased in the year was mainly due to the increase in variable-rate for the bank loans.
2. Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss of the Company resulting from the counterparty’s default on contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the Company’s maximum exposure to the credit risk of financial loss due to the failure of counter-parties’ obligation performance and financial guarantee provided by the Company was mainly due to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the parent company only balance sheet.
-
Liquidity risk
-
64 -
The Company manages and maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to support the Company’s business operation and reduce the effect of the fluctuating cash flow. Management of the Company monitors the use of financing facility and ensures compliance with the terms of the loan contract.
For the Company, bank loans are one of the important sources of liquidity. For the Company unused financing facilities, please refer to the description of (ii) Financing Facilities below.
(i) Liquidity and interest rate risks of non-derivative financial liabilities
The remaining contractual maturity analysis of the non-derivative financial liabilities is compiled based on the earliest repayment date required to the Company and the non-discounted cash flow of the financial liabilities (including the principal and estimated interest). Hence, the bank loan which the Company may be requested to repay immediately is listed in the earliest period on the table without consideration of the possibility of the bank exercising this right immediately; the maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is compiled based on the agreed repayment date.
For the interest cash flow paid at floating interest rates, the undiscounted interest amount is inferred based on the yield curve on the balance sheet date.
